Well, that's official acknowledgment it exists at least. A step in the right direction? I personally haven't experienced any drift on my switch yet (had it bad on my Wii U's left stick and Xbox One's right stick though, so I know how awful it can be). I'll probably just invest in a pro controller when it does happen though.
I wonder what their plan is when they release the Switch 2. At the rate they're going they won't even have all of their first-party titles on the Online Service by then, let alone all of the C tier ones they pad the service with.
@TheRedComet The Covenant is a great level, probably the best one in Halo 3. My personal favorite level in the original trilogy has got to be Cairo Station from Halo 2, but that's most likely my nostalgia goggles talking since Halo 2 was my first Halo game.
@TheFullAndy Sorry, couldn't resist a little jab. I agree the marketing opportunity is strong, and if any series needs better marketing its Metroid, but still I remain skeptical of Nintendo being willing to do it. We shall see in a couple months probably.
@TheFullAndy My hangup is that Kratos and Master Chief are appearing in Fortnite on Switch, but I'm not sure Nintendo will allow Samus or whoever to appear on PlayStation and Xbox, just doesn't seem like something they'd do. I guess they could make Samus exclusive to Switch, but is that something Epic Games would want? Stranger things have happened, so we'll just have to wait and see.
@TheFullAndy Ah, I should specify I meant specifically for the Game Awards. That said I kinda doubt any Nintendo rep will get in, but stranger things have happened, who really knows.
@TheFullAndy That sounds like the Library to me. Worst level in the entire original trilogy. Even us Halo vets (first played Halo 2 back in 2004!) hate that level for its tedium.
@KayFiOS I could never forget Killer Instinct, I just didn't include it because that was at the start of the last generation compared to Perfect Dark and Battletoads which were this year. Killer Instinct 2013 is actually my second favorite fighting game. If you check out my profile I have an image of Sabrewulf (my main) as the banner.
As a fan, it makes me yearn for a BK game that looks as great as they did in this trailer. Since Perfect Dark is getting a reboot and Battletoads has already, I have hope that Banjo and Kazooie won't go forgotten for that much longer.
Ehhhhh.... sure. It's a good game and is definitely quality, I just thought there were games that were either better gameplay-wise (Ghost of Tsushima) or better defined the year this was (Animal Crossing). Regardless, congrats Naughty Dog.
This seems like such a non-issue. If the word "joycon" is the sole problem as the article reads it to be, just change the name and relaunch. They definitely have more publicity for it now.
Hmmm... yeah it's suspicious but I'm not the type that condemns over accusations. I need hard evidence and frankly we don't have that. I wouldn't be surprised if this was Nintendo being petty or the Melee community whining about nothing.
Ehhh... people are acting like they put the rhyme verbatim into the movie. I agree that the rhyme is offensive, but I don't think the movie is actually referencing it? The entire point was to make the "Chi-knees" pun. Assuming the character/actor is Chinese in some way it actually works. Is it the "Look at these knees" line? That line combines the "Look at these" and "Dirty knees" lines of the rhyme, but doesn't contain either of the racist elements of those lines. Specifically he neither points to his breasts nor uses the word dirty. I don't know, in my opinion the joke in the movie doesn't reflect a usage of a racist playground rhyme, but I'm not Chinese and can't tell them what they can and can't be offended by so I'll defer to their judgement. Not like it matters the movie is toss anyway.
Why'd you buy Nintendo Switch Online? Person A: To play my favorite games online, like Mario Kart and Smash Bros Person B: Because Nintendo is holding the Retro Games hostage and I really needed to play Super Metroid again Person C: Because the icon on the bottom of the home menu was bothering me
Huh, thought Fates did better than Awakening, then again, they split that one into three games so I guess that would inflate the numbers. Edit: Yeah, just checked a few sites and they all say that Fates did 3.00 Million and Awakening did 2.31 Million. Obviously then, Awakening sold better as an individual game than Fates did, but I'm not seeing a 2.94 Million for Awakening anywhere. Where is that number coming from, I am genuinely curious.

Re: Surprise! Among Us Is Getting Sus On Switch Later Today
Okay, but do we need NSO to play it? Is voice chat limited through the phone app? Is it Cross Platform? Need more deets please.

Re: Retro Studios Still Needs A Boss / AI Designer, Just To Let You Know
@IronMan30 You are so off with your timescale it hurts me physically. Metroid Prime 4 is a 2077 title at the earliest.

Re: Retro Studios Still Needs A Boss / AI Designer, Just To Let You Know
Get whoever designed the 4 major bosses for Prime 2. Best bosses in the series imo. Especially Quadraxis.

Re: Master Chief Joins The Battle In Fortnite
@TheFullAndy Ah yes, because Nintendo is on a roll with looking great recently.

@nessisonett One can hope, it certainly looks much more promising now than it has been in years.
