“The showcase will also feature titles from asobu, a community founded to support and evangelize independent game development in Japan and Japanese games abroad.“
Does “evangelize” have another definition other than to convert to Christianity? Because if that’s what it means, then that’s kinda yikes
I think presuming all the Mario characters to be straight is absurd, especially considering that Peach kisses Toadette in New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe.
I think we all understand too well how defamation works nowadays. These videos are not made for kids, the people who made the videos said so themselves, which makes the statement "Made For Kids" a lie, and also this is clearly negatively impacting the creators.
I like that Lindholm said that his source was an independent third party, when his original comment clearly implied he had more than one source, at least one of which worked for Capcom.
Mine of course has to be the Switch launch. While I couldn’t possibly miss the launch of a new Nintendo console, the only game I got with it on launch day was The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which proved to be one of the biggest disappointments in gaming for me. I assumed it would be another 3D Zelda game like Wind Waker and Skyward Sword, but it’s almost as if they only put “Zelda” in the title so it would sell more copies. In the end I’m glad I got the Switch because it has some of my favorite games ever on it now, but I really had nothing to play in the beginning.
My favorite is the four separate directional buttons on the Joy-Con (L). As a platformer enjoyer, it is nearly impossible to play platformers with the Pro Controller.
Yes. The Switch has some great games, but the Switch itself doesn't have any of the cool features the DS had. I would love for Nintendo's next main system to be more like the DS. At the very least, it should have two screens.
@TheDragonDAFan If we are taking what the purchase page says at face value, "you will receive a discount determined by the number of days remaining on your individual membership (no Expansion Pack) ($0.05/1 day)," then the price actually increases by 5 cents per day, not decreases. It will cost the most money when your current membership is near expiration
I bought the game at launch, so I got Piranha Plant for free. I bought both Fighters Passes, and I bought all 3 Mii Fighter costumes that came with music. I hate this game. I wish I had self control
Obviously I don't know if any part of this story is true, but here's what I think: If somebody works on a project for 11 seconds, and their work isn't removed from the final version, then they have to be credited. I imagine a great number of jobs take less than a year to do.
Well the 2D Metroid games are sort of open world, aren't they? But I'm glad they scrapped the idea. The only open world game I've played is Breath of the Wild and oh boy do I not want to go there again.
I literally just bought bluetooth headphones this week and was considering buying regular earbuds for my Switch. Guess I won't have to do that anymore! I can't wait to test out the new update tonight
I’m pretty sure they reverted back the Gym distance too based on when I played today. I could have sworn at some point during the pandemic they announced that they would keep the increased distances permanently, but I guess I must be remembering that wrong.
Definitely have to give it to Pokémon Unite. I took the time to define which types of games I like earlier this year, and Pokémon Unite doesn’t fall into any of my categories. But I still like it for some reason! Big surprise that I wasn’t prepared for lol
