A lot of games get their servers shut down. In the next 4 months: Pro Evolution Soccer 2016, FIFA 14, MLB The Show 15, NBA 2k16, and The Tomorrow Children will be losing their servers. These are PS4 games.
This news is about an app shutting down....so I'm not sure why folks are acting like it's the end times. You can still play the game itself online.
Bleh, such a good sharing platform going away. Thanks for the memories at least, no thanks to Nintendo for scrapping it. I'd like to think something better will replace it, but look at how worthless club.nintendo is...
I'll absolutely miss miiverse, still use it on occasion to share games....lots of folks still upvote screen shots and art pieces. Loved it as a gamer's social media platform, only XBL communities rivals it.
Now all NS photos are more of a twitter thing, so gamers the world over won't get to see comments unless they follow specific hashtags or twitter handles. That's lame, we're losing the ability to share with all Nintendo gamers.
Devs across all consoles do this or something similar now, even more so with the PS4Pro.
FFXV had several options, quite a few of them made the game run worse but that's likely fixed by now. Nioh's action mode is 60fps at 900p, while movie mode hits around 30fps at 1080p.
Someone needs to make a practical version of the dock at a cheaper pricepoint, these KS hardware projects look alright but seem to have clunky/heavy design along with a pricepoint only $10 cheaper than an official NS dock.
Simplifying the combat will probably make it more enjoyable than original FFXV. I'm not put off by the chibi art either, especially since the original character models look like Backstreet Boy rejects anyway.
Wouldn't mind picking this one up on NS. But the quote does sound like the Switch could get its own vesion, maybe with a cel-shaded look.
@kireek it's funny, I read your comment and went to amazon but the funky listing didn't show up at all.
Sigh...at least Gamestop will give me a better chance. Amazon and BestBuy are just a scalper's paradise at this point, email notifications didn't even work and I'm signed up for both.
Nintendo and BestBuy are ass. Sorry guys, I'm usually pretty understanding but considering they have an entire club.nintendo doing nothing but giving us crappy coins for crappy discounts, it's ridiculous that BB pops up their snes mini product page at 1am and sells out to scalpers by 1:20.
Instead of us getting a heads up through the NS, or miiverse, or anything on a nintendo console (or app), us actual gamers have to find out like this. Absolutely lame. Looking forward to the Amazon page popping up at 2am and selling out by 2:05
It honestly looks like they'll frustrate you to no end with the bullet-hell style combat.
As others have said, enough with the metroidvanias. How about the classic sidescrolling co-op brawler? Nothing today matches with Spiderman Maximum Carnage, Turtles In Time, Streets of Rage, or Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers.
I've always liked when devs add challenges at the game-level that unlocks modes and art, not sure if Rime will do that though. On-system achievements don't matter, games do.
And about the korok seeds. I find it hilarious that while 900 seeds expands your inventory considerably, people only complain about the item at the end....completely ignoring what the journey got them. An item that may still have significance in the finally DLC pack.
Thinking of picking up Setsuna, but Hellblade may take priority as far as digital purchases go. I'm just glad the NS finally got an eShop discount. More of this please.
@grudgebear Of course the West would care, it'll be a portable MH with local and online play. Nevermind that it still follows traditional MH mechanics. XX clearly won't beat out MHW (it's releasing on 3 platforms afterall) sales but chances are it'll still make money.
If they skip XX and release a lower resolution MHW on Switch, then it could get cross-platform play with XBO/PC owners and that would be awesome.
Wow, 460K for USF2 is amazing. I'm betting we'll get the Disney Afternoon Collection announced in the coming months and then they'll keep silent while pushing more MHWorld videos.
If Capcom wants to make cash, MHXX will be announced for the west in early-to-mid 2018.
@thesilverbrick You're likely right, didn't even think of that.
@folkloner I said "Nothing is wrong with smaller indie releases". When I'm referring to VOEZ, I'm talking about more touch-based games (4 of my suggestions are on iOS/Android).
Ummm....Nintendo need to get their head straight here. Nothing is wrong with smaller indie releases, but these two entries seem like cut-and-paste iOS games. I'd have the same reaction if Flappy Bird was announced to be releasing physical on Switch.
How about Netflix, Twitch, Hearthstone, Super Mario Run, Fire Emblem Heroes, Pokemon Go....it was starting off well with VOEZ but Nintendo's silence since then has been pretty concerning. I guess it takes the entire village to sell Splatoon2....
As SBandy said, I imagine the NS version is being kept under wraps so they could determine how well a new entry in the DQ series will sell on the two platforms with the biggest install bases.
Willing to bet the 3DS release will sell much more in japan. We'll find out in a few weeks.

Re: Gallery: Check Out Some Tasty Concept Art for Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes
I was worried this would just be a mini-game compilatio, but not any more. I cannot wait to play another NMH, time to replay the old games!
They should re-release the first two on NS as well.
Re: Nintendo Ordered to Pay $10 Million Following Patent Lawsuit Loss
They have nothing on the nintendo tech, this'll get reversed for sure.
Re: NBA 2K18 to Have All Modes and Support amiibo on Switch, But Won't Hit 60fps
Not a deal breaker for me, especially with mobile play as a feature.
Re: Nintendo Is Ending SplatNet for Splatoon Next Month

Re: Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes Will Be a Switch Exclusive in 2018
They have to battle through six games (with Indie collaborators pitching in) to survive the battle.
I'm happy to get mini-games, but it isn't an official numbered entry into NMH so consider me less excited.
Re: Dragon: Marked for Death is the Next Game From Inti Creates - Exclusive on Switch
Hell yeah, more local co-op games please. This one looks rad.
Re: Light Fingers Takes Turn-Based Board Gaming To Switch In Early 2018
Nice! A lot of the titles shown off today are perfect for NS. These indie games are looking better and better, 2018 will be intense for gaming.
Re: Fire Emblem Warriors Special Edition Is Also Coming to North America
No thanks, this isnt very special to me. Samus Returns collectors edition skips NA, but hey....FE character art cards, yay -_-
Re: Editorial: Farewell to the Flawed Miiverse, But Thanks for the Memories

I like it, nothing is wrong with options.
Re: Super Mario Odyssey Walks Away With Lots Of Gamescom Awards
...You're telling me SMO just beat Destiny2, CoD, and BF2 in the action category?
LoL
Re: Video: Opening a Box of Mysteries from Ubisoft
Great unboxing video, nice figurines too
I'm looking forward to the NLife review before picking the game up.
Re: Pelda Pro Switch Case Aims To Make Your Dock Redundant
Someone needs to make a practical version of the dock at a cheaper pricepoint, these KS hardware projects look alright but seem to have clunky/heavy design along with a pricepoint only $10 cheaper than an official NS dock.
Re: Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle Is Getting a Season Pass
That sounds fine to me. I'll play the base game and wait the DLC out until they reveal all of it.
Re: Rocket League Is Getting Free Nintendo-Themed Battle-Cars At Launch
For $20, you got me day1

Re: Fear Effect Is Being Remastered On The Nintendo Switch
O_O YAY! I loved Fear Effect. It still looks like a comic book too.
Day1 NS purchase for me. Now please, Square Enix......please give us a Brave Fencer Musashi remaster. It would be oh so so so sweet on NS.
Re: Unruly Heroes To Bring Monkey Magic To Switch Next Year
Oh. Hell. Yes.
This looks like a blast, especially in co-op.
Re: Nintendo Switch and Splatoon 2 Led US Retail Sales in July
That's great news, Nintendo really deserves the sales.

Re: Guide: Unlocking Sonic Mania's Debug Mode and Stage Select
Does anyone know if I could use this mode to find where the bonus stages are on each map? Because that would be helpful after my initial playthrough.
Re: Sonic Mania Dashes Straight To The Top Of The Switch Best Sellers Chart
It's an easy buy at $20, I couldn't be happier. Boy is it dragging me through the ringer though
Re: Nicalis Would Love To Bring Night Trap To Nintendo Switch
It's Night Trap...good riddance. People who want it can get it on PS4 or PC. I have no interest in buying extremely crappy FMV sequences.
Re: RiME Producer Explains Why The Switch Port Is Coming So Much Later
I've always liked when devs add challenges at the game-level that unlocks modes and art, not sure if Rime will do that though. On-system achievements don't matter, games do.

Re: Gamevice Launches Patent Case Against the Nintendo Switch and Joy-Con Concept
They have no case here, the only similarity is that both have controllers and a screen.
Analog stick layouts are different, the controllers don't separate like joy-cons, and it looks like they have a basic Android OS.
There's a very small chance this could hurt streaming app support though.
Re: Video: See the Big Difference Between Monster Hunter XX on Switch and 3DS
Looks so good, I need to pick up that JP demo.
Re: Zelda: Breath of the Wild's First Free Item Distribution is Live on Switch
Wait....people were complaining about this when initially revealed? lol!
Would be neat if these eventually get to dropping ancient materials.
Re: GameStop Opens Pre-Orders on Samus Edition New Nintendo 3DS XL in the US
I would still have preferred the Samus Returns collectors edition. This looks nice, but I never liked the bulk or pixel quality on the XL.
Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd August (North America)
Thinking of picking up Setsuna, but Hellblade may take priority as far as digital purchases go. I'm just glad the NS finally got an eShop discount. More of this please.
Re: Upcoming Monster Hunter XX Demo Will Give All Switch Owners a Taste of Japanese Release
Well, I'm using the guide and getting that demo. Mostly to see how it plays on a NS.
Re: My Nintendo Updates with New Kirby and Star Fox Rewards
I'm picking up the Kirby theme and maybe the Pikmin3 map packs. Have so much platinum and gold, may as well use it for something.
30% discount on a $30 purchase is lame, gold coins should at least warrant 50% off.

Re: Splatoon 2 is Adding "Dualie Squelchers" in Weekend Update
Nice! Surprisingly, the splat dualies and the basic starter gun are my favorites. Love giving everyone ink armor as often as possible
Re: Niantic Is Facing a Class-Action Lawsuit Over Pokémon GO Fest
If they gave every ticket holder their money back, this won't PokémonGo anywhere. Figures it's some rich moron from Chicago, hope that lawyer is fleecing him good.
Re: Splatoon 2 Sold Over Half a Million Copies in Japan in Three Days
Absolutely deserved. It's such an addictive game and Salmon Run happens to be my favorite thing ever.
Re: Splatoon 2's Next Splatfest Tackles A Challenging Choice Of Condiments
Team MAYO!!! I'm itching to pick this game up after work and play all weekend
Re: Tetsuya Nomura Clarifies Comments About Kingdom Hearts III for Switch
This changes nothing, it sounds like what was said the first time. Current platforms are the focus, more platforms may be supported at a later date.
It's Kingdom Hearts, of course a "later date" could mean 2020
Re: The Nintendo Switch Online App Is Now Available for Download
Yeesh, the game that this app works with isn't even out yet. What a whiney lot we got here.
Re: Ubisoft Will Announce More Nintendo Switch Titles "Quite Soon"
It's Just Dance, another Rayman re-release, and that snowboarding game Steep.
Surprise....
Re: Nyko's Clip Grip Power Is The Perfect Partner For The Nintendo Switch Online App
It's like Nintendo saw how crazy PSVR could get with wires and said "we could achieve something even more annoying. Yes we can! Yes we can!"
Re: Funbox Media Announces Vegas Party And Chicken Range For Switch
@thesilverbrick You're likely right, didn't even think of that.

Re: Switch Could Get Kingdom Hearts III, But Only After Announced Versions Are Released
@sligeach_eire UE4 is scalable though
It can be scaled to not have to render grass that detailed.
Re: Funbox Media Announces Vegas Party And Chicken Range For Switch
@antster1983 Well that makes sense, was wondering why a developer would release something like this as NS exclusive.
