I haven't forgotten what Playtonic did to JonTron, or the way the disparaged and refused to refunded refunded backers who were rightfully angered by their poor treatment of Mr. Jafari. I've boycotted them ever since. JonTron did nothing wrong!
Twitter/X has improved massively since Elon Musk took over, to the point that even Jack Dorsey endorsed Musk's leadership and policies earlier this week after stepping away from Blue Sky.
Nintendo's move is understandable, but it's a very minor deal in the greater scheme of things for both companies.
Speaking of Musk, I very much hope that he buys Hookshot Media next and injects with his very refreshing policies on free speech. Hookshot Media is crying out for such a revamp.
Looks like WB has done a Ubi Soft and Bud Light'd itself. This and the involvement of Sweet Baby in the recent Suicide Squad game have sealed their fate.
Not surprised. Sega of America should have focused more time on their core business, rather than engage with in the usual tiresome socio-political virtue signaling.
The Nintendo Focus will not outsell the Switch, but if Nintendo are still sufficiently on the ball then the Focus should still sell over 100 million units.
People who hate on Miyamoto are detestable. This is a man who has been underpaid for at least 40 years. He should have a net worth of at least hundreds of millions of dollars for the masses of IP he has created, but he signed it away to Nintendo because he found something far more valuable than just monetary join. Miyamoto has career and life fulfillment in an stimulating environment.
On the 3D side of things, I'd love another Skies of Arcadia and Valkyria Chronicles 5. I'd even be delighted with a remake of Valkyria Chronicles 3 for an international audience.
@rjejr I've just noticed the back, but why isn't the plastic red on the front like the Mario 3D World tablet. Sheer penny-pinching laziness on Nintendo's part.
Is it me, or does anyone else want an animated crossover film between Star Fox and Star Trek: Voyager? I ask this because in their promotional material for Lylat Wars (Star Fox 64) back in 1997, THE Games Ltd (Nintendo's UK distributer at the time) claimed that the game was set in the Delta Quadrant.
I recently joined my local NPUK (I'm featured in one of the photos used for this article) and enjoyed my first meetup immensely, especially as my health has rapidly detirorated over the past year and I am not as physhically capable as I use to be. I think this is going to be important lifeline for me going forward as I am aware that there are fewer days ahead of me than behind me and I may not have much time left.
I already have this on 3DS and various other formats. I also have Gunstar Super Heroes on the GBA. If ever I lost classic deserved an upgraded port, it's Gunstar Super Heroes. I hope a two player remaster gets released on the Switch.
Here's another reason why 1080 is cool; Dion Blaster looks like Avery Brooks aka Hawk aka Benjamin L. Sisko, the best Star Trek captain ever (especially since Patrick Stewart made Picard "woke"). Proof that Deep Space Nine makes everything, even 1080 cooler.
I suspect the Saudis think the Mario Movie will be a huge success, hence them increasing their investment. I want them to have nothing to do with Nintendo or gaming in general.

@Noxide Right On! When purchase no longer guarantees ownership, piracy is no longer theft, but preservation.

Re: Nintendo Hacker Gary Bowser Says He's "Not Involved" With New Switch Flash Cart
Never believe anything until it's officially denied.
On a related subject, if purchasing digital content does not guarantee ownership (pay attention Sony and WBD), then piracy is no longer theft.

Re: Talking Point: What Classic Sega Franchises Do You Want To See Rebooted?
This is easy, Gunstar Heroes 3 and Thunder Force 7. Preferably both would be in 2D.

Re: Switch To Get Timed Exclusive Access To Robert Pattinson In Batman: Arkham Trilogy
@DennisReynolds Digital Foundry have a video of the Switch version. It's a bit rough, like Dinosaur Planet running on an N64.
As for the Arkham games, Asylum and City should be great if they are based on the Xbox 360 versions. I fear the port of Knight will be a disaster.
