I mean, isn't the game industry always painted as extremely competitive, risky and unhealthily hard to survive in.
Yet this guy releases pretty niche games in the scoring brackets of 5 to 8, with common heavy discounts in the 60 to 80 percentiles a couple of months after release.
@TommyTendo I also wonder this when it comes to Nintendo and the UK. It's not as bad but British people really try their best to emulate americans in their gaming preferences.
Decent debut especially with being this late to the Switch party. It's been succesful for 26 months...and just now they're coming with a 8 year old port. Business sense is hard to teach apparently.
There's a good interview with Naghoshi in EDGE magazine somewhere last year. He talks about how Nintendo wanted to see the source code for F-zero GX because they were so impressed by the technical feat the SEGA team pulled off!
Does every guy nowadays need to have two arms like we're supposed to believe they belong to the Hell's Angels or something? Chronic fashion statements, brilliant idea.
And yeah, Labo VR. The worst VR combined with the worst Labo. Brilliant idea.
@8bitforever 'features'. That's the point more or less. I don't watch "[random country] got talent" because of the high production values or new 'features'.
The commodore64(!) version packs more punch and feels superior...how did they make this feel so...condensed? As if you're playing in a room full of pillows instead of dangerous alien space. :/
Well it's their party, and their franchise now. Unless Notch specifically made a deal to mention him in credits he can be erased from any Minecraft game from that point on.
Likewise when I have a party I don't invite the body confused like 'trans' and anorexic / boulimic people, no matter how lovely they may be. They're mentally ill. As soon as the taboo on that subject is gone, Notch will be cleared from being ostracized as 'wrongthinker'.
Ah man I was hoping for Mario Warriors, Donkey Kong Warriors, Mega Man Warriors, Minecraft Warriors or even Hybrid Heaven Warrios but instead we get Persona 5 Warriors.

Re: Review: Assassin's Creed III Remastered - The Franchise Runt Gets A Clunky Switch Port
A mediocre game from an overrated series based on weakly worked out concepts by a hit and miss developer.
Yay.

Some games are just too special to only have a digital license for.
Can't wait to play this, at last.

Re: Nintendo Switch Overtakes PS4's Lifetime Sales In Japan
@HammerKirby Money, unconvincing arguments to switch to other suppliers, nintendo offerings being satisfactory, time to spend on gaming.
Better question might be: why is it so hard for you to understand why someone would stick to one particular supplier?

Re: Video: Reggie Reflects On His Time At Nintendo And Why The Fans Liked Him So Much
"Putting smiles on faces" is the creepiest quote in the videogame industry.
It should be reserved for a plotline in a sequel to the human centipede.

Re: Super Monkey Ball Creator Has No Idea Why The Game Was So Popular
Sometimes a game selling well is just luck because of right timing. Lots of factors can't be calculated when launching a product.
However, Monkey Ball also did quite a few things very right like the character design, unique gameplay, superb accessibility and control, etc.
I didn't care for this game, but it's remembered fondly by many for good reasons.

@secret333 ah that's it. I'm not educated enough on the favourite nicknames of marketing bullspoopers in the xbox fangroup. Thanks for the advice lol.
Re: Feature: The Best Shmups On Nintendo Switch
I assume RIVE: Ultimate Edition is not on this list because it combines platforming elements with shooting but...where the hell is Sine Mora EX?!
The list is full of budget shooters but Sine Mora EX is some high quality super polished stuff...yet, no mention. Why?
Re: Random: Xbox's Major Nelson Seemingly Confirms The Next DLC Character For Dragon Ball FighterZ
His name is Larry Hryb, a marketing guy.
What's next, referring to Bill Trinen as Trintran?
It's just a tad childish.

That's not what makes games appealing to me.

Re: UK Charts: Mortal Kombat 11 Enters At Number 2, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Still Speeding Along Nicely
@8bitforever I don't consider Days Gone mature. It's often the focus on (boy) puberty that steers me away from Sony.
Production values come second. On a surface level Sony's games all look amazing. Then I play them and it feels stuck in the 90's.
Re: UK Charts: Mortal Kombat 11 Enters At Number 2, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Still Speeding Along Nicely
Days Gone.
A good example for why I choose Nintendo over Sony everytime.

What is a tweet? A message by someone.
Reporting a compilation of messages and quotes on something remarkable in Nintendo land is news worthy.
Do any of you even read the news on a regular basis?
