@westman98 xCloud with Game Pass, buddy. Stadia was always going to die a horrible death... let's wait to see how an ACTUAL Netflix for games does first.
I mean... he's still a businessman. Streaming allows publishers to control most of the revenue stream AND eliminate piracy. I don't like it - and don't it'll take off unless MS can prove that XCloud actually works first - but the logic is at least sound.
Despite being not for my taste at all, I have no offense to these types of games appearing on Switch. If the market's there (and it historically has been), then why not?
But, Christ, those faces look like something out of a Black Mirror episode. I mean, just look at them. LOOK. AT. THEM!
@XBontendo Who'd you see being a good fit for Blizz? I think CDPR could do a good job with Blizzard's IP - plus, we might actually real physical games for once.
@Kienda Oh noes, what are we to do if OW flops? If only we had surefire hits like Fire Emblem, Zelda, Mario Maker, MUA3, Pokémon, PlatinumGames, Switcher, and Smash Bros to tide us over till next FY... wait a minute...
@presenttense I can see it now: riots in the streets, Epic's market value tanks, Twitter goes nuclear, other games get the spotlight for once and - by the time it finally comes back - Fortnite is quietly forgotten about in favor of some new F2P fad.
Nintendo, here's how to do mobile right:
1. Port all your retro games to phones
2. Lock them behind an Apple Arcade-style sub with no MTX/ads
3. Make it available on both mobile AND Switch
4. PROFIT.
Bonus points if you bring back GoldenEye as a "VC Now" exclusive...

Re: Former Nintendo Of America President Reggie Says The Future Of Games Is In The Cloud
@tseliot Oh, so one bad statement automatically invalidates ALL the good will he's had over the years?
Please, get a life. You disagree with Reggie and that's perfectly fine.. but let's try to move beyond ad nominee attacks, mmkay?

Re: Blizzard Cancels Overwatch Switch Launch Event, Leaves Nintendo To Apologise On Its Behalf
@sanderev Tencent only sells/distributes the Switch in China. Tencent doesn't have any shares in Nintendo... and, hopefully, it stays that way.
Re: Blizzard Cancels Overwatch Switch Launch Event, Leaves Nintendo To Apologise On Its Behalf
@XBontendo Who'd you see being a good fit for Blizz? I think CDPR could do a good job with Blizzard's IP - plus, we might actually real physical games for once.

Re: Blizzard Cancels Overwatch Switch Launch Event, Leaves Nintendo To Apologise On Its Behalf
@Ralizah Eh, Crapti-vision (owners of Blizz) probably doesn't want a massive class-action lawsuit on its hands, so BC 2019 ain't going anywhere.
The Q&A, however, probably isn't happening... and, at this rate, neither will BC 2020.

Re: Blizzard Cancels Overwatch Switch Launch Event, Leaves Nintendo To Apologise On Its Behalf
Ah yes, because you clearly haven't ticked off people enough with the Blitzchung debacle.
Also, leaving NINTENDO be the one to explain YOUR decision? That's just sad, Blizz...
