Why do we care so much about credits in games and film? Do we care who stocks your grocery store shelves? Who makes your pizza? Who drives the bus? It's a job. They get paid to do it just like everyone else.
They stuck with that boring green LED on the dock... That's disappointing. The logo should have a subtle glow. Nintendo used to do nice things with lights. GameCube with his orange light and Wii with the nice blue around the disc slot.
@Eel no. But maybe they should do the same article for X. But I'm assuming all these accounts also have X accounts where they would have a much larger audience to engage with.
Lower price, increase volume. It's not a tough concept. Considering most purchases are digital, it's almost free to ship games now. There's no reason for 70 dollar games and then have prices drop 50% in a couple months. Just start with a more affordable price and then you won't have to discount heavily when your game flops at launch.
@Nanoline52 how many hours would it take to record their voice parts? Maybe a week? Why should speaking lines in a video game pay more than the programmers and artists?
@SwitchForce that's stupid. It costs a lot of money to do physical games, especially for a small developer. The risk is too high, if the game doesn't sell well it could bankrupt them.

Re: Analyst States That Switch 2's Price Won't "Really Matter" For Early Adopters
Probably true. But if it's over 500 CAD it means I won't be buying as many games.

Re: Talking Point: As The Fan-Made 2D Metroid Prime Game Is Shut Down, Where Do You Stand On Nintendo's Takedowns?
