If the visual quality isn't too bad, I'd like to get this so I can stream to my friends on Discord. I'm being cautiously optimistic though, as I do get burned quite often when it comes to buying stuff online. Also, I only just noticed that my laptop does in fact have a USB-C port. Neat!
I for one am concerned. Having once been Nintendo’s #1 fan, I can tell exactly what Mr. Miyamoto brings to the table, and I don’t see it in Nintendo’s newest games anymore. That’s not to say Nintendo won’t continue to make great games, but as a focus shines on new developers, the company loses part of what guaranteed that almost all their games were amazing.
This is interestingly timed. Very recently, it was revealed that Funimation (itself owned by Sony) has acquired Crunchyroll. Hopefully both services make their way to Switch, it is super awesome being able to watch YouTube and Hulu on the Switch and there should be more!
I really think the overall quality of Nintendo’s translations on the Switch have been not very good. In Super Mario Maker 2 you have the option to “Start Over” or “Let’s Start Over”. There’s also only one game mode under “Extra Game Modes” (plural).
Wanting to continue with a money making venture even after being told that it would be illegal to do so is called being a Republican, and it’s not okay
I voted yes but I've already met Marth since this game was remade for the DS and that version was released a second time in the West on the Wii U before this third, inferior version
Fitness Boxing 2 is awesome, I definitely recommend it. Also, I’ll say this one more time: this is NOT the first time that Shadow Dragon has been released in English in the West officially. It’s the 3rd time.
I’m going to sound about as grumpy as the person the article is about by saying this, but never trust your parents with anything. The thing that they did to have you does not make them qualified to do anything.
Why aren’t more JRPGs translated into languages other than Japanese and English? I know it’s a lot of text compared to your average video game, but novels are all text and they get translated into every language ever
Are you supposed to go to the roof in a situation like that? I’m genuinely wondering. I’ve never worked in a tall office building and I feel like I would just be cornering myself if I went to the roof in an emergency
@thejuice027 You have to purchase and download the Wii U version from the Nintendo eShop. Many Nintendo DS games were released on the Wii U eShop as part of the Virtual Console line.
Looks like it saved all of my ratings from back when the Wii was actually the current Nintendo system. Gosh that was a long time ago. It looks like I gave Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World a 10/10. I don't even remember playing that game, but I'll trust the rating I gave it at the time
Despite what Nintendo would have you believe, this is in fact the third time this game has been released outside of Japan, having already been released on the Nintendo DS and the Wii U.
“Hyrule Field feels decidedly smaller (more like a field, in fact)” That’s why it’s called Hyrule Field. Because it’s a field. It’s supposed to be like that.
Nintendo used to release Layton and other Level-5 games internationally. Perhaps now that Level-5’s own international offices are shutting down, they will be first party games again.
Nintendo typically looks the other way as long as you don’t copy and paste their trademarked images and stuff, but they do have the right to protect their brands if they want to.
If you want to enter the walled garden, you need permission and to follow the rules of the garden. It’s not the same as a monopoly. Each electronic company created, owns, and operates their platform. Apple is completely within their rights to impose rules about payments and to set their own fees. Epic, after exploiting their partnership with PUBG in order to steal the code for their game, is now trying to exploit hardware companies in order to make even more money off of something they stole to begin with.
Another licensed game, huh? Licensing is a double edged sword (or whatever that saying is). It draws in people who like the original thing, but it also pushes away people who don’t like it.
I’m downloading all my games during the pandemic. That Treehouse Live made me think the game looks fun, but I didn’t like the graphics or what they were saying about the story at all. I guess I should be a good Nintendo fan and focus on the gameplay as the most important part.
Don’t forget the new music! That’s always the most exciting thing for me when there is new Smash DLC. I always leave the music mode on shuffle when I’m studying
@WoomyNNYes Actually, since Popeye was created as a work for hire, its copyright will expire in 2024, after which point Nintendo will no longer need anybody’s permission to publish old or new video games based off Popeye.

If they’re not using the IP, they should consider selling it back to Nintendo the same way Disney sold Power Rangers back to Saban.

Re: Random: Animal Crossing's Stalk Market Is Turning Gamers Into Real-World Traders
Isn’t trading a form of gambling? There’s a reason gambling in many forms is illegal. It’s very dangerous. The legal forms should still be avoided.
