@TeslaChippie What kind of size pockets do you have that could fit even a Switch Lite?

This looks great, but I feel like I am going to be busy with Fire Emblem and maybe even Dragon Quest Builders 2 still. I will have to wait until I finish those before picking this up.

So many great games coming to Switch in such a short period of time. It's a good problem to have! Way better than last year.

The law firm will get a big payout for themselves; the customers will probably just be given a discount voucher code on the eShop.

I am Team Chaos, but I have a feeling Order is going to win big. All I see in the notifications are 100x battle wins for Team Order, and I am frequently paired up in Chaos vs Chaos battles.

People probably reported the level because of the name and the automated system deleted it after enough reports.

Why did 8bitdo discontinue controllers that looked like replicas of NES/SNES controllers? Did Nintendo's lawyers come after them?

@smithpa01 I can certainly judge the website for not taking action against said person. That place doesn't deserve the web traffic that an NL link will bring.

Still using links to the website where a mod encouraged Etika to commit suicide? Pretty shameful, NL.

@AlternateButtons They are not trolling, sadly. They actually mean it. But at least now I can put them on Ignore.

@Ludovsky Personally, I liked the way the atmosphere was handled in DQB1. It made me feel the weight of how the world had suffered because of the hero's choice. The chapters start out grim and sometimes difficult to survive. I felt really accomplished and happy at the end of each chapter, but also sad to leave the villagers because I had to move on. The legendary builder was a tragic character who brings peace and happiness back to the world, but never gets to enjoy it himself.

Just my opinion, of course.

At this point, I wouldn't be expecting any optimization patches. The game has been out since December in Japan. They are probably not going to update the game any further.

Am I the only one with launch-era joycons that have never drifted?

He very quickly switched from "no plans" to "nothing to announce", which is not the same thing.

More like the Swon'tch, am I right?

......I'll see myself out.

I'm kind of disappointed that they didn't go with a clamshell design, like the GBA SP. That would've made it a whole lot more portable.

Better invest in a good screen protector.

Now that they are in bed with Tencent, they better watch out. A hostile takeover attempt is a real possibility.

Super Mario Party outsold Splatoon 2, and yet Splatoon 2 got 2 years of updates whereas Super Mario Party was abandoned immediately after launch.

Nintendo needs to be careful that Tencent doesn't eventually try a hostile takeover. That is Tencent's MO.

@BlackenedHalo What do you mean, "no"? Is there some part of Witcher lore I'm missing where he only has one sword?

Shouldn't he have TWO swords?

So it's......Splatetris?

@LordVal That is incorrect. In local multiplayer, you can use any controller you want. I have been playing it with daughter. She's using the Pro Controller and I use my 8bitdo SN30 Pro.

I managed to figure this out on my own a couple of days ago, but it really is un-intuitive. The "Play with Friends" option should be available directly on Course World.

What, you mean GameFreak read all the comments from arm-chair developers on social media telling them how easy doing a national dex would be and didn't think "wow, they're right, we should stop being lazy"?

I'm shocked.

Considering how long Sonic has been wearing his shoes, I imagine it would reek if were to take them off now.

Hopefully this isn't a sign that all of the glitches from the original have returned.

There's nothing less fun than being confronted with a level that can't be completed unless you happen to know how to perform a specific glitch behavior....

Please, Nintendo, do a midnight eShop launch for SMM2.

Can't wait to get repeatedly trolled with levels that immediately trap you between bumpers, which required some kind of glitch movement to escape that I never figured out. And they are also unskippable because the game won't let you skip while Mario is bouncing around. Such fun....so many 100 Mario runs killed because of those...

@Andyliini Yes NL, PLEASE stop using links from that toxic website.

A Farewell to ARMS.

Sorry, but the "Nintendo has to protect their IP" argument really holds no water when you consider that SEGA allows fan-made creations to flourish. By the logic of some people in the comments here, SEGA should've lost the rights to Sonic a long time ago for not "protecting" it.

SEGA even invited one of the fans to officially make a Sonic game, and it ends up being arguably the best ever made. SEGA does indeed do what Nintendon't, it seems.

@Lockjaw2814 You know they won't keep their word anyway. They'll be back in the comments section on the next article.

Please Natsume, just let the Story of Seasons dev have the Harvest Moon name and give it up.......

Calling it now, Metroid Prime 4 will be a Switch and Switch successor simultaneous release, like Breath of the Wild.

Well at least it appears he will still be in the game in some capacity.

I used to play Pocket Camp until Nintendo removed support for my phone, so I'm glad there's no connection.

DevMenu is now my most anticipated release of 2019

"Please find the body" does seem pretty distinct, but it could all be an auditory hallucination. Someone says that's what they hear and so you go in trained to hear the same thing.

@Judgedean I remember at one point they were talking about doing that for City Folk with the Wii Weather Channel, but they scrapped it.

Thank you. Now just add amiibos at some point and it will be absolute perfection.

Four Swords Adventures

Please, no more than a couple of minutes. Pokemon already had a Direct. There should have been no reason to spend precious E3 Direct time on these games.

@EmmatheBest It was de-listed from Steam last year.

@HobbitGamer You also had Marth and Roy in Melee at a time when no Fire Emblem game had been released in the West. Their inclusion in the game, though, can definitely be credited with raising enough interest in the series for Nintendo to localize them, starting with Fire Emblem (The Blazing Blade) on the GBA.

You could also make the case that Ness's inclusion is what revived interest in Earthbound.

I did think his face seemed out of place compared to everyone else's.

@Arehexes You just listed of bunch of characters that most people under the ages of about 25-30 aren't going to recognize. Does it make sense to pick one of them, or to pick the one character everybody knows?

@Ralizah Cloud represents a franchise that had its first six entries on Nintendo. Even though he himself wasn't on a Nintendo console until recently, he's the natural representative for the franchise as he is the most popular and recognizable character.

So no, not the same situation at all.

The lack of English VO was a deal breaker for me. It's a shame because I liked the original Persona Q and was looking forward to this.

It also doesn't help that Persona 5 hasn't come to a system I own and therefore I feel no attachment to the characters from that game.

As long as Mario Kart 8 continues to sell like gangbusters, I don't think we'll be seeing a Mario Kart 9 on Switch. There's no business reason for them to essentially kill the golden goose while it's still laying eggs. That said, we could do with some fresh content. I would definitely support some DLC with new tracks.

Edit: Has any Nintendo console ever received more than one iteration of Mario Kart? I can't think of one off-hand.
