Oh boy, the sequel to Tetris on the Virtual Boy!

Meh....!
I'm enough with just Puyo Puyo Tetris Switch version for Tetris game.

Nintendo has announced the release date of WarioWare Gold, 3rd August in NA and 27th July in Europe.

Tetris VR! Sony bringing out all the stops this year!

@Grumblevolcano
Ooh...
I'm glad it has physical retail on USA version.
Btw, why Only Style Savvy Styling Star & Dillon's Dead Heat Breakers has No Physical release for USA version, instead the Japan & PAL version have Physical retail ?
Such a bummer....

I do love the REZ team and I played Child of Eden to pieces, but I think this game would put me in the ER. I got a headache just watching the video.

@Ryu_Niiyama hurt my head as well. I watched the live announcement on my phone then watched again on my TV when I got home. WAAAYYY to much going on for my eyes, can't even imagine playing in VR it'd be like an acid trip!

Sega/Atlus has announced their E3 lineup. It's Team Sonic Racing, Valkyria Chronicles 4, Shining Resonance Refrain, Yakuza Kiwami 2, and two Atlus titles to be revealed tomorrow.

Hopefully one of the Atlus titles is TMS#FE for Switch.

Might as well, they're porting most of the worthwhile Wii U library anyway

Nintendo's stock is down 12% compared to May 31st...something's going on and it's not looking good. I thought it was people selling high but its not slowing down

@Knuckles-Fajita All this time...they were doomed all along...

@Knuckles-Fajita It's probably to do with the paid online service, the Mario Tennis Aces demo showed us how bad Nintendo's online can get.

I'm only interested in TMS if the port addresses the issues people had with the original Wii U release.

As for HD remasters, I... kind of want an HD remaster of Xenoblade Chronicles. The 3DS version is cramped and butt-ugly. The Wii version is trapped on a TV, saddled with terrible controller choices, and also butt ugly on an HDTV. I'll absolutely finish this game if we get an HD version of it.

Oh, and Fatal Frame V needs to be ported and to get a physical release worldwide, please.

@BouncingHat ...a remake would involving remaking the visuals too, you do realise that?

@BouncingHat holds up Pokemon Let's Go

@Snaplocket Investors react directly to news so it will be seen as a weakness to Nintendo's online infrastructure until proven otherwise.

@Grumblevolcano Mario Tennis was actually revelatory about Splatoon. I've long known that Splatoon has really weird "this can't possibly occur" moments, rather frequently in the high ranks.....where it feels like it's out of control and you keep dying for no reason and suddenly everyone else got better. I know it was lag, and I knew Splatoon uses racer/kart style "rubberbanding" where it has predictive AI to make the play appear smooth....so it LOOKS smooth but what you're seeing is often not what's happening. Tennis, putting a lag meter up there and finally NOT using the predictive AI is actually more fair. It shows you the real lag and its effects rather than playing bots the laggier your opponent is. And it shows how many people on Switch have TERRIBLE connections. OR worse, how many have ok connections when you connect, and then it drops to one bar and lags like crazy 2 serves in. What do they do matchmake with the Switch held to their router, then walk outside again?

@BouncingHat Well four problems with that -
A - Not everyone who has a Switch wants to have to connect yet another box to their TV.
B - NES Classic has had limited availability
C - One of Adventure of Link's biggest turn-offs historically has been it's awful difficulty, something that would certainly be handled in a remake, making it more accessible.
D - Historically, look at the difference in sales between VC versions of say, Ocarina of Time vs the 3D remake. The 3D remake sold around 50 times as many copies as the Wii VC version which was an eighth of the price.

@NEStalgia Nope, that's an issue with Mario Tennis' netcode. Basically, if the lag ever spikes, Mario Tennis never tries to recover the connection. This isn't an issue with Splatoon 2, so Mario Tennis' apparent lagginess is far worse than that game. Hopefully it's something that'll be patched by or soon after release.
