Topic: Nintendo's Silence is really annoying

@Magician Metroid. As a teenager before I started playing SMT games the make or break was Metroid. I had a Wii because I also had Metroid Prime Trilogy and I loved to play it every day I could. SMT V is the main reason for me to own a Switch but Metroid Prime 4 is a second good reason. While Pokemon, Zelda, Mario, Smash, Mario Kart and Animal Crossing being present is great, those who come to Nintendo for Metroid probably won't get the Switch until Metroid Prime 4.

Another note: while I love having my games on the go, I actually regret getting the Switch as soon as I did. I skipped a bunch of DLC on PS4 to buy it (one of which being the Old Hunters for Bloodborne) to buy a Switch just because I saw a teaser for SMT V and found out it would be Switch exclusive

@Aiodensghost What game are you talking about? If I was in a position like that, I’d wait for the game to actually come out before buying a Switch. 😉

Don't buy consoles for games that aren't out yet.

Kirby seems dead too (I mean, no more proper, new, amazing, full-price kirby games at retail). Its all free-to-play now with microtransactions. Simple download-titles. Just today I learned there's a Kirby on ios/android called Kirby: Star rush. My heart broke. It looks awful. Why Nintendolife never made a article about it...priorities huh?!

@Henmii
Does Star Allies not count as a "proper," full-priced" game? (Not being cheeky, I haven't played it, but it looks like a full-blown game?)

@Henmii No that's a Fantendo page made by fans. The game isn't real.

Just Nintendo being Nintendo.

@Henmii Go get Kirby Star Allies. The game the user said was fake/fan is the page of Kirby Star Rush.

@kkslider5552000 lol, I did that for PS4 and Silent Hills. RIP

@FlashBoomerang people don't want to pay full price for a 3 year old Kirby game. Where is the Nintendo selects line.

Taylor Swift’s silence on Nintendo’s silence is deafening.

@sixrings You won’t get the Select lineup until the console is reaching the latter stages of the lifecycle. That’s the same as to how PlayStation operates.

@Dark_Magician,

I thought it was real. Oh, they fooled me. Luckily because the screenshot was awful.

@rallydefault,

It is (though it wasn't that super). But I think it is really time for a new one. One that isn't focused on multiplayer and is as good as Triple deluxe or Planet Robobot. Or make a totally different Kirby game. Kirby was often at its best when it did something different, like Canvas curse or Mass attack.

@FlashBoomerang,

I have Star allies, it wasn't the best in my opinion. I am really up for a new, amazing Kirby. Quality like Triple deluxe or Planet Robobot.

@FragRed id love to see the sales numbers of long forgotten games like, ARMS, Kirby, 1-2 Switch.

@sixrings You should check the Nintendo annual reports, they include lifetime sales of games that sold over a million copies. Arms is over a million, the other two might be as well.

@FragRed well the Switch isn’t a new console, if the typical lifespan is 7 years a gen then the Switch is on the second half. I could see a Select lines came out in time for Xmas, perhaps the best way to combat new expensive rival consoles is affordability especially if the price per game rumours are true.

@jump To be honest, Nintendo hasn't even bothered lowering the price of its hardware yet, excluding the handheld only version of the Switch which itself hasn't seen any price reductions since it came out. If Nintendo are unwilling to lower the hardware price, I can't seen them bothering about software. That is just typical Nintendo behaviour.

@sixrings I would too, I don't think their sales have been too good since they came out though. If anything is going to get reductions in prices when the Select range finally hits, it won't be something like Arms or 1-2 Switch, though Kirby probably will as will as others such as Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey etc. However I could see Mario Kart remaining its normal price as that game sells huge numbers regardless so why lower the price when anyone buying the Switch is likely to buy it anyway.

@jump lifetime sales went exactly important here... how many copies did they sell in the last 18 months?

@FragRed Ninty seldom lower the price of their hardware though even when they hit production milestones so the units become cheaper to make but they do have a tendency to offer software cheaper and even named it.

@sixrings you can google it yourself...give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

@jump it’s possible to go your whole life without eating y’know

It just wouldn’t be that long of a life.
