If it doesn't, you'll have to give in and get it in digital format.

@Kalmaro
Same. Online-only games have no reason to even be physical.

@DenDen
And it took this long for you to hear it's free-to-play? It's been common knowledge for a while now.

Thank goodness they're not at the top. It would put the Pokémon fanbase straight into masochism/Stockholm Syndrome territory.

@Tyranexx
Amen to that.

While harassment to women is...

... we also have to assess the fact that fictional characters (that is, unless played by someone in live-action, in which case God help us all!) are pretty much all that people can lust after.
I hate to be so matter-of-factly about this, but... it's how things are.

Y'know guys... I've been moaning about a KH port for a long time, but here's food for thought - how about a Kirby Super Star-esque package in the vein of Super Mario All-Stars combining the 3D Kirby games with the Star Allies engine and including the 3DS-enhanced, standalone versions of the minigames? Think about it: Kirby's Return to Dreamland/Adventure Wii with Scope Shot and Ninja Dojo, Kirby Triple Deluxe with Kirby Fighters Deluxe, Dededetour! and Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe, Kirby Planet Robobot with a Gem Apples-free Super Kirby Clash, Kirby's Blowout Blast and Meta Knightmare Returns, and to cap it all off... The Arena, combining bosses from across three games.
Given this is mostly asking too much on my part, I guess Nintendo could also go the extra mile and charge that extra 10 that's usually for the more expensive first-party or AAA third-party titles such as The Legend of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild. Here's my two cents anyway.

Thank goodness I bought it in advance.
... Pocket Rumble, that is. SNK Gals Fighters is still a game I'll never have.

@Zorox88
Could be the reason. Contrary to popular belief, while Europeans aren't quite as prudish as America, they're not as kinky as outsider make 'em out to be either.

The coronavirus couldn't have struck with worse timing. Nintendo is going to face PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X this year, and the pretty graphics are sadly going to swoon a lot of third-parties. We need to strike back with many games filled to the brim with the Nintendo Difference if we ever want the Nintendo Switch to hit the naysayers by outselling the Wii.

"while others say"
That's an odd way to spell "while the entire competitive Smash scene says".

@Nintendzoey
That's an odd way to spell Bowser.

Nintendo fan works have a nasty habit of coming out right before the confirmation of a remake. Look at what happened to poor AM2R.

I'm inclined to question how the friend codes prove to be faithful to either of the principles that are in "conflict" with a simple name search.

All that's missing is New And Tasty and Soulstorm by now.

Hopefully Nintendo doesn't get the wrong message out of this. What with coronavirus "making deals with publishers much harder" as Sakurai said, I'm fully fearing Fighters Pass 2 to go out with a whimper. Hell, Ultimate's sales were meant to show Nintendo that Smash is as much of a top franchise as the others are...

@JayJ

Too bad (not for my wallet, though) I already own most of these.
Will do what I can to help out.

Say it with me now: the Switch needs a Nintendo Selects line. The Switch needs a Nintendo Selects line. The Switch needs a Nintendo Selects line. The Switch needs a Nintendo Selects line. The Switch needs a Nintendo Selects line. The Switch needs a Nintendo Selects line.
The Switch needs a Nintendo Selects line.

@H4ppyZer0
Wow. And here I was complaining about Brawl's release date some time ago. Really sorry (no sarcasm here) for you guys out there.

@BlackenedHalo
Don't say that out loud, or someone will get the impression you're blasphemously implying this is Nintendo's fault. Everyone here knows the digital format is the devil incarnate, and that indies should only release games in physical format despite self-publishing in physical being pretty much impossible without the occasional help from publisher like Limited Run.

No sweat. Should my 3DS and/or Wii ever fail on me - which eventually will do - I'll get a new one and pirate the hell out of it.

I'm not a piracy supporter (well, not anymore), mind you; it's still sickeningly early to kill off what's still essentially a potential source of revenue. I mean, the Xbox 360 - a Wii contemporary - still has an online storefront.

But I'll leave it to y'all to sing the praises of the physical-only way, I guess it can't be helped this one time.

@Donald_M
The joke is that, for the time being, people wanting a Switch will need to buy one from scalpers, paying up three times as the original price, a gallon of their own blood, their houses' deeds, and possibly their first-born son if they have one. In return, they get no warranty.
That's the "joke" for ya.

So basically he's in a "oh, you poor thing" condition. I reckon this is mostly because there are so few Switches around. As soon as they're restocked and the bot "automatically completes transactions", it'll be fun to see scalpers buried in Switches (and, most satisfyingly, debt). Remember, sympathy for scalpers is something hard to feel considering they're...

... well, this kind of people.

@Zeldafan79
Kevin Smith described the movie's nature as a jab on Hollywood reboots with unmistakable wording: "it's literally the same #u@king movie".

As soon as I'm done with my Bandicoot Lands levels, I'll take the bullet and my [only (ugh)] online Super World entirely Crash Bandicoot-themed. I have a plan, but it'll definitely take a while.

@KayFiOS
I tried to sing it with a straight face.
I failed.

@Kalmaro
Beat me to it.
These news basically comment themselves.

Whatever curiosity I could have about Dr. Luigi back in the day has gotten really out of hand.

So what I'm getting out of the picture is that my Onix's Harden can be super effective against any Cloyster, as long as the latter uses Water Spurt. I hope the opponent's Pokémon don't faint on me, though, or I'll end up as soft as a Bellsprout. Which, in my team, is my other Pokémon.
My party (on my belt, because you know there's a party in my pants) also has a Mega Blastoise in it, in case you're wondering. I hope my comment doesn't get deleted, so don't Jynx it!

Man this article is too much, the puns and innuendos I can cram in are staggering. Oh wait, I said "cram in". Whatever.

Well, that was stupid.
Of course, Animal Crossing is a bit at odds with actual environmentalist logic. It's the one lesson PETA never learns from videogames in general.
That said, it's a good sign people are using New Horizons as a bandwagon. It means it's a hit, Business Insider and other dumb outlets be damned.

Best wishes to the employee, whether he's just a programmer or had a hand in cutting the National Dex. We all stand as one when it comes to safety.

Us, the Nintendo fans: "Whoa, a big multiplatform hit is going to be released on consoles... and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, of all games, is getting exclusive content! Square-Enix, I'm sorry for what I said about the Final Fantasy content. I mean... the entire playable cast in Smash as Spirits? That's so cool!"
Square-Enix: "G R O U P E D____S P I R I T S"
Us: "... well, of course there's a catch..."

@chocolate_supra
That legitimately got a good chuckle out of me.

I'll be frank with y'all - Hiroshi Yamauchi wasn't chosen by grandpa Fusajiro out of the blue - the man was looking around for someone to pass the torch. Same goes for Hiroshi with Satoru Iwata.
Miyamoto's been looking for a successor for quite some time now, and most of the input for Super Mario Odyssey has been given by fresh blood as far as my knowledge is concerned. Nintendo will be fine.

Two updates, with announcements a few hours apart and released one day apart. Not going to lie, it's one of Nintendo's strongest weeks in recent memory.

It's not written by Brenna Hillier. I'm impressed.

I'd say this made my day, but that'd be a lie.

THIS MADE MY MONTH.

Only complaints are mostly nitpicks, namely the username in the "Super ______ World" template suggesting it's only one world per user, and the lack of other styles when the "additional styles" caption keeps being plural in all languages. Other than that, though, it's basically perfect. I love everything that's being made available.

"I'm flipping my $#17,
you're gonna believe
wheeeeen we send our C&D!
C&D, you'll see,
C&D, you'll see,
C&D, you'll see,
C&D, you'll see,
you'll ceeeease 'n' desist!"

Admit it, guys, we all know you sang it that if emulating a N64 wasn't as hard as - say - modding and emulating Sunshine or Galaxy, then Nintendo would have way less of a problem. Anyone can install [REDACTED] on a PC and emulate Super Mario 64 these days.

... lpers. Thank goodness for the Hulk!

@ThanosReXXX
Wise words to live by.
And to die for.
Wait, why is my hand disappearing? I thought you were after sca

Of course, scalpers and people justifying their actions with "just joking" are cut from the same, scummy cloth. They were always meant to be.

The internet is a magical place.

Give me a Zero Wing port with English/Japanese/meme language options and I'll be a happy boi.

@Jfarriol
Point taken, given I've tried the game. That said, however, Nintendo shutting down ideas all the time would lead to Mario handling every damn genre in the book. Anyone remembers how Splatoon was originally supposed to be a Mario spinoff? Yeah.

Grand Theft Auto not coming to Switch can only be summed up as this scene.

Sad to see events unfolded this way. Thank goodness for VBlank Entertainment's own GTA clones, not to mention Saints Row which has virtually no competition on the system. That doesn't justify sourgraping Grand Theft Auto, but at least we won't need to this time around.

Inb4 the article gets inevitably featured in Saved You A Click Video Games' Twitter account.

Cool trivia, mad props Nintendo Life. I just adapted this story for the Italian site I'm working for.
As far as maps "to hang on the wall" are concerned, however, Bill Mudron is the right guy.

Jump Force has been used by the competitors' own fanboys as a way to diss Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Now, not only the former game went down in history as the most bungled (mis)management of the franchises involved, but it also ended up being ported to Switch.

I'd say this isn't even misery poker, it's some kind of misery solitaire. But with the right discount, I could be happy to bite.

"especially when that opinion isn't full of blind praise for Nintendo's work"
No fornicating fecal matter, Sherlock. Blind praise is for people who work within the company. Reggie has left. Then again, he could have more of a say on the matter if he worked on the games - meaning that while now he can criticize an aspect of New Horizons, that's as far as his opinion's weight goes.

Further proof that nothing good ever comes out of the word "troll" or the "culture" associated with it.

@KitsuneNight
Damn, you won the entire comment section in a single sentence. I'm honestly impressed.

Simple, it just means the same companies behind "surprise mechanics" had their way.

When you can add "... because [name of manufacturer] won't" to a sentence, that's enough of a justification for ya.
Nintendo could make these things illegal, but what they truly should do is just countering piracy with more consumer-friendly legal means.
