Re: Feature: Game Of The Decade Staff Picks - Miitomo

20thCenturyFrox

Miitomo was so much fun as an actual positive social media app. I loved reading my then girlfriend's answers to Nintendo's well designed questions and trying to make her laugh with my own. In that way it reminded me of the early days of Facebook back when Walls were a thing and silly apps were rare enough that all your mates would use the same ones and you could learn a lot of fun things about each other and enjoy each other's sense of humour.

I don't think the "game" was well built for longevity though. Also, I don't think it was Nintendo's best game of the decade and I don't think you do either - this is just one final troll in your Miitomo career of trolling isn't it!

Re: Switch Could Enjoy An Extended Lifespan And Even Outsell The Nintendo Wii, Claim Analysts

@SBandy It's amazing how often they're wrong, such as in this article from T3 last winter: https://www.t3.com/news/this-is-why-you-shouldnt-buy-a-nintendo-switch-for-christmas

They remind me of self-appointed Victorian theorists who espouse swallowing a tapeworm to eat your body's food for you or claimed that bald people were bald due to their diet - the commonality being unsubstantiated claims based on shoddy guesswork. And, as with the Victorian theorists, people discuss their views as if they have anything worth saying when most of them are clueless!

This looks like a lot of fun and I like hearing from a team who aren't ashamed to recognise the classics and put their faith in the fact there is still a market for platform titles (as DKC, Mario and Spyro and Crash remakes prove).

I also like the wacky idea of the alien race turning up in the prehistoric era and the caveman getting his hands on their jetpack technology - a charming gimmick and setting that I haven't come across before.

Looking forward to hearing more about this - I hope Nintendolife will do a review.
