Re: Remake of Metroid II, Metroid: Samus Returns, Announced for 3DS at E3

Berto_Gamut

Nintendo is full of win today! The remake looks great and knowing that Prime4 is in the pipeline shows they havent forgotten about Samus.

I am hyped for the rest of the year. Starting with ARMs this friday, the software keeps coming regularly until the beautiful Super Mario Odyssey in late October. Debbie Downers can pound their chest all they want, these reveals are wonderful.

Re: FIFA 18 on Switch to Include Ultimate Team, EA Boasts of Most 'Advanced' Portable Version

Berto_Gamut

I've only ever played Fifa at a friends house years ago. If this has online play and my buddies pick it up, then so will I.

The idea of being able to take a beefier sports game on-the-go is the real draw for me. It's likely that EA knows this is a strength, hence all the wording around "portable console" instead of just lumping it in as a regular release alongside XBO/PS4 versions.

Re: Konami on Super Bomberman R Support and the Possibility of Producing More Games for Switch

"Castlevania is getting its own show on Netflix and because of that, we’re hearing a lot of desires from our fans for a new Castlevania series."

Konami seems to get its breaking news from the year 2010. We've been asking for a new CV series since Lords of Shadow shambled onto the PS3/X360. Then Mirror of Fate happened and we asked yet again. Then LoS2 happened and we asked a third time! Now 7 years later, an unproven netflix show and large fan backlash finally get them to understand that Castlevania may sorta kinda possibly be liked by gamers.

How about starting with a simple CV collection covering the first game from '86 all the way to SotN in '97. That would be a nice start to getting into fans good graces.....then again they'd probably charge people $60 for it and add microtransactions

Re: Video: Super Nintendo World Trailer Goes Live, Mario Kart Ride Confirmed

Berto_Gamut

With a release after 2020 in Orlando, it's a long time away before I remotely care about this.

The big problem is creating no fanfare between now and 2020. Universal Orlando has done nothing to hint at Nintendo coming to their park. Even just AR cards placed on the floor of some stores and a small kiosk selling toys would be welcome. But nope, they keep pushing overpriced interactive wands and those tennis balls tied to a string......

Re: Square Enix Announces New JRPG Lost Sphear For Nintendo Switch

Berto_Gamut

I feel like they always pad the pricing of anything Tokyo RPG Factory makes. Setsuna should've been $30 with a few 50% discounts under its belt by now. Now this game is aiming for early next year, at $50, without knowing what E3 will reveal for their release schedule.

These devs keeps getting put out to pasture, SE has been really lame lately.

Re: Ever Oasis Will Be Receiving a Demo on the eShop

Berto_Gamut

Doesn't this game have a whole mechanic about building your city? Would liken it more to Fantasy Life than Zelda.

3DS and vita games of previous years have burned me out on the chibi artstyle, done with it for good. Bring on the more challenging games where characters have necks and regular-sized heads

Btw, get rid of those video ads if you can NLife, it's bogging down your pages and making it a pain to comment.

Re: Capcom Continues to Explore and Plan Nintendo Switch Support

Berto_Gamut

So they're using the Mass Effect strategy. Release an expensive version of an incomplete trilogy that's been on every platform for much cheaper.

Simply put, Capcom is one of the most hardheaded JP gaming companies I've seen, second only to Konami. The NS will continue to sell well, USF2 won't, then they'll just look to porting MH: XX in hopes of making any money this year overseas.

Re: Poll: Nintendo is Keen on 'Social Competitive Gaming' on Switch - Are You Game?

Berto_Gamut

If they want social competitive gaming to flourish on NS, they need to start reaching out to the Twitch folks and get an app running ASAP. Twitch on Switch...it's so obvious.

Nintendo needs to learn to not keep things so underwraps until a big gaming event. Gaming communities don't last in a situation like that, they splinter apart and it'll be the same situations all over again. SSB comes out, everyone loves it, too much lag for online play, the community splinters, then gamers are playing it separately amongst their groups of friends.

Where is voice-chat? Where are the apps that may help with creating tournaments or gaining friends interested in the same games? MK8Deluxe is great for social competitive gaming too, but Nintendo is too busy sucking on their toes and having us all wait til August for info on their paid subscription.

Re: Blaster Master Zero Has Been Downloaded 80,000 Times On Switch

Berto_Gamut

@nertak This game wasn't being made to "keep the lights on" though, so it isn't like it's the only form of income Inti Creates has.

What this hammers home is that a group of 35 were able to make a decent 3DS game and port it to the NS in half a year, where they were able to sell 80,000 downloads in 1-2 months.

Re: Video: Nintendo Switch Controllers All Have a Power Button Hiding in Plain Sight

Berto_Gamut

This will come in handy when I'm switching between games and changing grip orders. I would like to be able to press it with another button so I can go to the home menu regardless of what joycon I'm holding.

So far that seems to be my biggest problem with the system. Switching grip orders for different co-op games and explaining what the buttons do. You can't say "press the A button" when someone is holding the L joycon

Re: Nintendo Reveals "The Master Trials", the First DLC Pack for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Berto_Gamut

That is a great first add-on in my opinion, nevermind that we still get more content at the end of the year.

I'm a little confused about the floating planks in hard mode, which is the most interesting thing about that mode. Hopefully unlocking the master swords true potential means its unbreakable, so I could play hard mode without having to worry about my weapons.

Re: Ratalaika Games Bringing 0000 And League Of Evil To Nintendo Switch

Berto_Gamut

Yay! League of Evil is a great game, will definitely pick it up for NS.

Hey look! People acting like all the videogame release news for 2017 has been given to them in the middle of April. As if E3 already happened and all NS is getting are indie games. Because having actual 3rd party support in the form of indie games is so EWWWWWWWW.

Re: Poll: Do You Think Call Of Duty: WWII Will Come To Switch, And Would You Want It If It Did?

Berto_Gamut

While it would be a nice addition to the NS library, I'm done with the FPS genre for the time being. Besides that, was never a fan of CoD.

I'd rather have 3rd party support in the form of new IPs, instead of just getting inferior ports of multi-platform games. How about any of the other developers under Activision: Raven Soft, Beenox, High Moon Studios, Vicarious Visions.....they've all worked on Nintendo systems before so it would be nice to have an original game pop up from any of these devs.

Who am I kidding though, 3rd parties nowadays only care about what kind of console-exclusive deals they can get while making games with little-to-no progression in mechanics or AI.

Re: Stardock CEO Says Nintendo Switch Doesn't Need Third Party Support To Succeed

Berto_Gamut

This guy is a fool. 3rd party support is absolutely needed for Nintendo and wanted by NS owners. WonderBoy, Blaster Master Zero, and I Am Setsuna are great examples. We need more developers willing to take advantage of a system with decent strength and the ability to go portable, it's a market any 3rd party can take advantage of...if some of them are smart they'll have NS software announcements at E3.

Simply put, Stardock has made nothing but PC shovelware...anything they say about console gaming just doesnt matter.
