@MysteryCupofJoe Yeah, I love the humour and the battle system.
The M&L games are also some of the best at making use of the DS/3DS features and I can't wait to see what they come up with for the Switch! Moving away from pixel-art is also a bonus.
It's been years since Prime 3. They're definitely going to want to let more people get into the series, as well as revitalize it a bit, before Prime 4 launches.
People that didn't care about these things will continue to not care about them, no matter if they're there or not. Most causal fans probably don't even know these strategic advantages exist.
This only affects the hard-core fans negatively, nothing else.
If they're going to add more new characters they're obviously going to add more stages? Seems pretty logical to assume we'll get more than 103 stages at least.
@edgedino My opinion is that it shouldn't be a choice for the developers if it's a service I'm paying for though. It should be a standard used in all games.
Otherwise it shouldn't be locked behind a paywall.
@edgedino
Sure, and I get that. But that should be Nintendo's problem, not mine. They've had over a year to get this right by getting developers on board and prepared. There's no excuse for this to be limited by now.
If I'm paying for the option to be able use cloud saves I'm expecting it to work in all games i'm playing.
Neat. The best thing about this announcement is that it shows that Blizzard is interested in the system. I'd love to see ports of both Overwatch and Hearthstone at some point.
As for Diablo 3, it's a good game IMO. But the price seems very high considering it is a title from six years ago.
I think the mere fact that some people still consider this game a port is evidence that they have not shown enough of this game yet. I definitely think they need to push it more and show more unique features.
I'm hoping we'll get a look at the modes and that we get a new off-the-wall character that no one asked for in the vein of Wii-Fit Trainer, Pichu, Duck Hunt etc.
And if I get to dream they'll announce a new story mode.
I hope that's an indication that it will actually launch in September. Not necessarily because I want to start paying to use the internet I'm already paying for to begin with, but I'm kind of tired of Nintendo's lackluster online attempts.
At least with it being a payed service people will have the option to vote. If it's crap, hopefully less people will pay and Nintendo will be forced to improve it in some way, which is something I'm happy about. Because there will be a LOT to improve upon.
@pullmyfinger A 7/10 on NL is good, as I said, you can look up what every point means in their system. So what you "think" a 7/10 means does not matter, it's already defined.
Also, 7/10 is only considered the average because reviewers do NOT use it as an average. Some will score higher, some will score lower. If all reviewers would start to use 7/10 as the middle-point, the average would inflate and suddenly 8/10 would be the average etc. etc.

Re: Google Reveals Stadia, Its Vision Of A Cloud Gaming Future
Looks neat, if it works as advertised. A lot of clever solutions.
But I'm personally not interested in a streaming service.

Re: Mario & Luigi Developer AlphaDream Seeking Production Assistant
I'd love a M&L game on Switch. I think there's loads of potential in a Switch title.
Re: Rumour: That Star Fox Racing Game Rumour Is Doing Another Lap
I think it sounds like a great idea on paper. And if it's indeed from RETRO it's pretty much guaranteed to be great.
Re: Video: View The Nitro-Fueled Gameplay In This Crash Team Racing Clip
Looks good. Love the original, so I really hope this turns out great.
Re: Smash Ultimate Exceeds 12 Million Worldwide Sales, Top Ten Best-Selling Switch Games Revealed
Very very impressive to sell 12M in less than a month.
Ultimate is definitely going to become the best selling Smash ever. Might even become the best selling overall game on Switch soon.
Re: Rumour: Multiple Online Listings Suggest Assassin’s Creed III Is Coming To Switch
Never really liked AC3. Would rather see Black Flag if they’re going to port older titles.
Re: Talking Point: How Do You Feel About The Metroid Prime 4 Delay?
@Aneira
If Tropical Freeze is anything to go by I have full confidence in RETRO doing Prime 4. That’s one of the best 2D platformers ever made.
Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever played a bad game from RETRO.. I just wish they could push out titles quicker.
Re: Talking Point: How Do You Feel About The Metroid Prime 4 Delay?
I’m very disappointed by the delay but also very happy that they chose to not just cancel the game completely.
Re: Metroid Prime 4 Development Scrapped, Will Be Restarted Alongside Retro Studios
That is extremely disappointing news... This probably means we'll have to wait another 2-3 years for it.
I like that they're open about it though.
Re: Nintendo's Bold Switch Sales Target Could Be Achievable After All
A lot of people are going to be eating their hats if Nintendo manage to reach their 20M target.
And even if they don't reach 20M this FY, getting around 17-18M would still be very impressive.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis Of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
I usually love DF content but I can't believe they uploaded this. It's just one glaring mistake after another.
Re: More Than Ten Games Are Being Announced At The 2018 Game Awards
If we'll see anything Switch related I would guess either a Wonderful 101 remake, Zelda: Skyward Sword remake or Metroid Prime: Trilogy remake.
Or another Bayonetta 3 tease.
Re: Super Mario Odyssey Adds Conductor Wig And Outfit
Adding new kingdoms feel like such an obvious thing.. strange it hasn't happened yet.
I wonder if they're working on a sequel instead.
Re: Anniversary: Retro Studios Celebrates 20 Years In Gaming
@brunojenso
I think it's guaranteed.
It's been years since Prime 3. They're definitely going to want to let more people get into the series, as well as revitalize it a bit, before Prime 4 launches.
Re: Anniversary: Retro Studios Celebrates 20 Years In Gaming
Thats nice. They're one of my favotite studios, I've never been disappointed by any of their titles.
I can't believe we STILL don't know what they're working on though..
Re: Bayonetta 3 Development Going "Very, Very Well", PlatinumGames Feels "Excited"
I can't wait to see it. I wonder if they can top Bayonetta 2, that game has some absolutely insane fights.
Re: NES Game Library On Nintendo Switch Is A Single Software Download
I assumed it would. It's pretty much NESflix, one app containing all the content.
Re: Nintendo Switch Now Supports Digital Game Sharing, But There's A Catch
Nice, I was wondering if this would be the case.
Re: Nintendo Is Releasing A Fortnite Switch Bundle With In-Game Currency And Unique Items
Smart move.

People that didn't care about these things will continue to not care about them, no matter if they're there or not. Most causal fans probably don't even know these strategic advantages exist.

Very strange decision.
Re: Suda51 In Talks With Marvelous About Releasing No More Heroes And Desperate Struggle On Switch
Yes please!
Re: Rumour: CoroCoro Appears To Confirm That Smash Ultimate Actually Has 108 Stages
I never assumed 103 was the final number.
If they're going to add more new characters they're obviously going to add more stages? Seems pretty logical to assume we'll get more than 103 stages at least.
Re: Switch NES Games Will Enhance Retro Experience With HD Resolution, Filters And Save States
This is the first good news I've read about the service in quite some time

Re: Switch Game Cases Will State Whether Or Not Cloud Saves Are Supported
I really don't understand why we can't have this in all games, especially if I'm going to have to pay for it.
I'm certain all the big popular titles will have this feature, but still.
Re: Nintendo Direct Airing Tomorrow To Showcase Upcoming Switch And 3DS Titles
Sweet.
Re: Suda51 Wants To Develop No More Heroes 3, But Is Focused On Travis Strikes Again For Now
Nice, I hope it happens on Switch.
Will be picking up TSA unless the reviews are terrible.
Re: The World Ends With You: Final Remix Won't Support The Switch Pro Controller
Strange decision..
Re: Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes Launches Exclusively On Nintendo Switch In January 2019
The game looks pretty bland tbh.. at least the levels they've shown.
And still no voice acting..
Love NMH1 and Desperate Struggle, but I'll wait for reviews on this one.
Re: Video: Get A Closer Look At The Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Switch Pro Controller
Nice, definitely picking this up.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Special Edition Controller And Game Bundle Revealed
I was hoping we'd get a Smash-themed pro controller, glad to see it's happening.
Not sure if I love the design but I'll be picking it up alongside the game for sure.
Re: Nintendo Posts Job Listings For Switch User Interface Engineers
@Folkloner
I was thinking the same thing.
The only thing this tells me is pretty much that a interface overhaul is not happening any time soon.
Re: Rumour: Leak Signals Blizzard's Diablo 3 Will Unleash Hell On Switch This Year
Neat. The best thing about this announcement is that it shows that Blizzard is interested in the system. I'd love to see ports of both Overwatch and Hearthstone at some point.
As for Diablo 3, it's a good game IMO. But the price seems very high considering it is a title from six years ago.
Re: Praise The Sun! Dark Souls: Remastered On Switch Has A Confirmed Release Date
Kinda bad timing. Won't pick this up any time soon.
Re: Pokémon Go Returns To Top Of The Charts On US iOS App Store
@fcscarel
That's a possibility as well.
I can only speak for myself, but the Let's Go games made me excited to re-visit GO.
Re: Pokémon Go Returns To Top Of The Charts On US iOS App Store
I guess the Let's Go games reminded people of it.
Re: Rumour: Change To Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Medley Points To New Fighter
I haven't dared to believe any leaks, but this is so much more believable than anything else. I really hope it's true.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct Livestream Coming This Wednesday
I think the mere fact that some people still consider this game a port is evidence that they have not shown enough of this game yet. I definitely think they need to push it more and show more unique features.

Re: The Nintendo Switch Is Headed To Turkey But Will Cost Customers Almost $500
Sounds like a lot, but seems to be normal.
Wasn't the Ps4 priced between 600-700 USD when it launched over there..? I remember reading similar news back then.

Re: Review: Pool Panic (Switch eShop)
@pullmyfinger
Isn't Metacritic using NL, not the other way around?
Every site has it's own scoring system, they're not based on some kind of averages. If you want to know what a seven implies on NL you can look it up.
Re: Mario & Luigi Developer AlphaDream Recruiting Graphic Designers For Switch And Smartphone Projects
M&L in HD sounds awesome!
Re: Crash Bandicoot Is The Fastest Selling Switch Game In 2018 As It Rockets To UK Number One
Not surprised. It's a great port and a fantastic fit for the Switch.
Hopefully this means well fetched Spyro trilogy as well.
Re: Review: Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy (Switch)
Fair review. It's probably a 9 for me, since I have a lot of nostalgia for these titles.
It's going to be soooo nice to have these three games portable.
Re: Nintendo Says Switch User Playtime Is Split 50-50 Between Docked And Handheld
It'd be neat if Nintendo included these statistics on the Switch itself. I'd love to get a approximation of my own playtime in each mode.
Anyway, I would guess I have around 60/40 handheld/docked.
Re: Rumour: Google Is Creating A Gaming Platform To Rival Switch, PS4 and Xbox
Cool. More competition is good.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate May Have Been Teased Years Ago In Smash For Wii U
Wouldn't really surprise me if it's connected to the new game. It's a neat idea and something Sakurai has probably had on his mind for a long time.
