Some amazing games, some extreme disappointments. I definetly don't hate the Wii U, but I was bummed by the game droughts, lack of GameCube virtual console games, and the overall low power of the console. That being said, I don't regret gettting it. Hopefully the Switch will fix these problems and becomes Nintendo's most successful console!
Considering I've seen people pay over $50 in games like Temple Run, Angry Birds, and Pokemon GO, I don't see how this is a big deal. Yeah, $10 is not usually an app price, but it's better than having a paywall like most mobile games.
Noooo. I need Breath of the Wild NOW (or at least in March, a month before my birthday). Well, if it does get delayed, then it's most likely a sure sign that BOTW will be a masterpiece of a game since most of the times delayed games turn out to be beyond amazing.
@Anti-Matter I didn't mean it like that. I said I just don't want people not to buy the Switch because it's Nintendo and lot of people look at Nintendo as just a kiddie company. I for one couldn't care what it is or what it looks like. If it's Nintendo, then I'm most likely buying it no matter what. Hopefully Nintendo will bring in new fans and change their minds about the company and console.
Let's just hope that this doesn't become a "ZOMG Nintendo is 4 kids!!!! No COD, no buy!" situation. Let's hope that this will make people want to buy a Nintendo product.
The perfect app for weeaboos! By the way, I'm not saying anyone on this site is a weeb, I meant that this is the app weeaboos will most likely download.
@KelvinJohn What does fried chicken have to do with Hyrule Warriors?
Edit: For some reason your comment shows a link (no pun intended) to some article about fried chicken. What's weird is that I see the article on my computer but not on mobile.
In all serious, it's sad to see the end of DLC for HW. Who knows, maybe a sequel on the Switch?
@The-Chosen-one As if Nintendo would actually do that. While I do hope the Switch will bring in those classic games and make new DLC for Smash, I doubt Nintendo will do just that. They have a history of making "new games" that turn out to be atrocities like "AC: Amiibo Festival" and having a "game is popular but 5 DLC packs is plenty" mentality. That being said, I hope I'm wrong and that they'll make masterpieces (and new DLC) for the Switch.
@speeedracer216 I got mine from a friend in a yard sale and it came with 35 games! Since I now have the NES I can get more games for it which is pretty cool. This is one reason I might not get the NES Classic
Even though I think the NES Classic is an awesome idea, I'm still deciding if I should get one or not considering the fact I have an old NES with most of the games that are on the NES Classic.
Niantic, why didn't you do this from the start?! You realize how many eggs I hatched? I never got new Pokémon from eggs! They were ones I've already caught.
I'm seeing people say that there's a possibility of no more digital download games because of how storage will now work. Can someone explain why that would be the case? If the Switch uses micro SD cards, couldn't you get digital games? I'm confused :/
@AlexSora89 That was probably the most biased and opinionated article I have ever read. It's okay to write an article that is based on your opinion on a particular subject, but the author had no real opinions. It was mostly "Nintendo is backwards", "Nintendo lost its touch with the gamers", and "Nintendo is doomed" comments. And besides, you can't critique something that hasn't been fully revealed yet!
"It lacks a killer feature" Cause the Xbox One and PS4 totally have a feature where you can play Skyrim on the go. Seriously, do analysts just want a Nintendo Mobile device?! And it's not "innovated"? When was the last time you played a game on a home console and took it out of a dock to play it while you're at a friend's house or just plain playing it on the go?
Great video. A man like Iwata only comes once, maybe twice in a lifetime. I just hope he didn't die thinking he failed as a president after the commercial failure of the Wii U and the underwhelming E3 2015.
Dang, this was heavy. I've been considering to get Axiom Verge for a while now. Now I want it even more, not just because I want to play it but also to help this poor guy out. There's not many people who are like him. Not many as dedicated.
@RenanKJ Wow can't believe someone agrees with me. If I write "Stop saying Nintendo is doomed" on any other website, people go ballistic and tell me how I'm wrong and stupid.
It's pretty cool, I guess. Would rather want Fire Emblem first, but at the end of the day, it's Mario on IOS! By the way, I really hope people will stop saying "NINTENDO IS DOOMED!!!! NO MORE CONSOLE MARIO!!!"; it's getting really annoying.
This..........is exactly what we all needed. @hieveryone That could be a good or bad thing that you never watched Sailor Moon. Definitely something of acquired taste.
Just as long as they don't leak my personal information, I don't really care. Hopefully this doesn't mean I can be hacked easily. That's my only concern.
@Kirk Yeah she said something about it. She said it was almost done being translated. Also if Nintendo was releasing Mother 3, E3 would have been a MORE than perfect time to announce it.
@Kirk GOOD. Some people just listen to her rumors and treat it like gospel. I was just telling you that because one the things she said was that Mother 3 would be announced.I couldn't tell if you knew that or not.
Definitely not the BEST E3 Nintendo has had, but a spectacular one for sure! Even if it was a few games, it was worth watching all those streams. Next year's E3 will probably be amazing considering the NX is coming out. BTW I'm sensing a Nintendo Direct or something of the sort in the near future that will talk about the NX.
Listen, if they make two Links, with one being male and the other female, I think that kinda ruins the character. When it's for someone you can customize that's fine because they are supposed to represent the player. Link is basically his own character with the idea that you can give him a personality. A new female character would be better IMO. It would be like giving the option of a female Mario or male Samus. BTW I'm not against the idea of a female character, but I would want it to be a new character and not just a girl Link.
