@JaxonH How on earth can you possibly leave it on the same screen without the system either going into sleep mode constantly or just keeling over for over 150 days? I'm happy burn in isn't going to be that much of an issue but I just can't understand how a test like this could even be performed?

RISE, fellow Monster Hunters!

Our time is near!

And for all you non-hunters, RISE! Your time with a free week of Monster Hunter is here!

@Fizza
He jerry-rigged a contraption that kept the analog stick moving on a screen shot which ensured the screen never dimmed.

Ppl who perform these kinds of tests figure all that out ahead of time.

That set of 2 holographic 12x18 Metroid Dread posters from MyNintendo, I bought a pair of cheap frames and hung one up. Didn't really have room to hang both, nor the desire.

But I think it looks good. Reminds me of the holographic cover art of Metroid Prime 2 Echoes

I still prefer Race with Ryan over than Gran Turismo / Forza / F-Zero games.

@Dogorilla Well the poster I'm thinking of who said that they believed it would get delayed was due to it looking too boring, not that the world is on the verge of WW3 and it would be in bad taste.

@Dogorilla Yeah I think this kinda makes sense. Unfortunately I think anything war related may end up being indefinitely delayed.

I also doubt those rumours of Goldeneye being released in any format on any platform will be happening, especially as that has Russians as the enemy.

This is stupid.

World events shouldn't delay a cartoon game. Half the games out there involve warfare of some type. You're gonna put the whole world on hold because one country invaded another? If world peace is the criteria I'm surprised we ever get games released.

Like, I get being sensitive to events, but come on. This war could drag on for months, even into next year. Who knows. You're just gonna start delaying any game with soldiers in it now?

There's being sensitive, and then there's being overly sensitive. This is ridiculous imo.

As a gamer, I think Nintendo's choice to delay the release of Advance Wars is silly. It's a video game, you'd think people would recognize that fact and be less sensitive. But as I like to say, "people will be people", and the word "war" in anything related to entertainment during an actual ongoing conflict qualifies as a faux pas.

I wouldn't be surprised if God of War Ragnarok slipped into 2023 if Russia doesn't cease their invasion.

@Giancarlothomaz
I'm well aware of that fact. There's people also dying of starvation, people being sold as sex slaves, etc. The World is full of horrors.

But I'm not sure what that has to do with it.

You can show respect in a hundred other ways- genuine ways (like make a statement of support, donate, etc). Indefinitely delaying a cartoon toy soldier game just because one war between two countries exists somewhere on the planet is downright silly. It's silly.

So I guess we just won't get any games referencing any kind of war or armies as long as a single war exists somewhere. Might as well cross off Fire Emblem Warriors, and the new Fire Emblem we're expecting? Well, let's push that back to be a Switch 2 launch title.

Meanwhile, we'll still see Call of Duty (if it wasnt already skipping this yr), Battlefield, etc etc.

Delaying tertiary needs distribution (video games) due to crisis situation is showing a Respect.

I probably wasn't going to get Advance Wars at launch anyway but personally I'd feel a bit weird playing a game where you shoot people with tanks at the moment. Sure, you could make the argument that there's pretty much always a war going on somewhere and it's no more tasteless to release a game about it now than any other time, but this particular war is dominating the news at the moment and Nintendo would definitely get some complaints if Advance Wars came out at the height of it. It's not like there's a shortage of games to play anyway. Triangle Strategy only just came out, it's arguably better this way so more people have time to play that first.

Come on Nintendo, give us Donkey Kong Jr Math on Switch Online

@Dogorilla
Triangle Strategy is amazing. I'm loving it so much, I dare say it's the best SRPG I've ever played.

But because I'm loving it so much, and I'm 40% of the way through the game already, I was really starting to get excited for Advance Wars. This is a serious bummer, especially after having already delayed the game once before.

The insult to injury though is the complete absence of any release window now. It's not like they delayed it to September 12th or something. They just straight up took it off the schedule, with no ETA. And with the way Nintendo carefully plans their releases, and the fact the Ukraine war could last months (or well into next year even, who knows?) they might not slot it back in until Switch 2 is out. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the game just gets canceled outright.

Huh, you can correctly guess which users on here are European and which ones are American based on what they are saying about the delay. ;p

@JaxonH If they announced a new date now there's a significant chance the war could still be going by then, and they'd have to delay the game a third time. It may end up being a long time before it releases depending on what happens in the world but I highly doubt it will be cancelled entirely. It wouldn't be the first time Nintendo's sat on a game for years before eventually releasing it: the Brain Training game on 3DS didn't come out in Europe until over four years after the American release, and I don't think they even explained why.
