@LastFootnote consider my mind blown. I have a software engineer background and it almost makes me wanna try my hand at creating a game but that kinda success is like capturing lighting in a bottle.

The comments here are hilarious especially around the Steam Deck/Ally vs Switch convos…. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone saying those handhelds were going to take a bite out of Nintendo. They still play the same games as a PC so the fact still stands that if you own something that plays PC games and Nintendo’s latest console you’ll have gaming pretty much covered and that’s where I stand. I own a Switch (soon to be Switch 2) for Nintendo games and PC and Steam Deck for everything else. I don’t see how these two could even be compared honestly and when I travel I sometimes take both my SD and Switch…just depends on what games I’m playing at the time. When Valve releases the next SD, yeah I’m probably gonna get it too.
@BTB20
Nintendo’s stock ticker symbol is NTDOY for its American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) traded over the counter in the U.S. In Japan, where the company is headquartered, its ticker is 7974.T on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
NTDOF is another stock ticker symbol for Nintendo Co., Ltd. It represents Nintendo’s ordinary shares traded over-the-counter (OTC) in the United States.
NTDOF: Represents one ordinary share of Nintendo.
NTDOY: Represents one American Depositary Receipt (ADR), which is equal to 1/8th of an ordinary share.
Investors typically trade NTDOY more frequently than NTDOF, as ADRs are designed to be more accessible and convenient for U.S. investors.
As NTDOY is the one traded that’s the one I go by.
@BTB20 well sir, I don’t know what tf you’re on about but one is German currency (the one you linked) and one is US currency (the one I linked). I live in the US so I would obviously be going by US currency when I stated “ Nintendo’s stock has always hovered around the $10-$16”. So, when you stated “Idk where you got that 10-16$ from, but it's been over 50$ for a while” you apparently didn’t take into account that not everyone goes by German currency. It’s really sad that I’m really having to spell this out for you.
@BTB20 you obviously felt the need to bring it up and attempt to wrongly call me out. I was just providing my proof since you specifically said “ Idk where you got that 10-16$ from”. So what I said stands true. In USD, being that I live in the U.S., it’s been around $10-$16 for many, many years. Good day, sir.
Nintendo’s stock has always hovered around the $10-$16 mark over the past several years. No one’s worried. It’s really not a good stock to invest in other than getting to say you own a piece of Nintendo.
Surely they would have announced a Direct by now if it was being announced tomorrow. Don’t trust everything you read in the internet. My friend’s uncle who works at Nintendo says so….
Not a fan of subscription services. Let me just buy my content I want and move on. I stopped paying for my NSO family plan 4 months ago. No one in my house was playing their Switch online (we have 4 of them in the house) and the few games I have played were all single player.
The two franchises I’m most obsessed with are Star Wars (not as much these days no thanks to Disney) and Lord of the Rings. I actually read the “core” books once a year much like Christopher Lee did when he was still with us but I have the entire series and have read them all. I’ve never found any of the LotR games great on a Nintendo console. I’ve also always felt that the Lego games could have benefited from the “Skywalker Saga” treatment but that’s more of a selfish thought since I don’t think LotR is as popular as Star Wars so it wouldn’t have been a big seller for them. I have extensively played the ones on PC though. I actually just replayed Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War. I’m hoping Tales of the Shire is going to be great but unless it comes out on Switch 2 I’m likely to get it on Steam.
@Lord I hear ya but regardless I’ll still be getting Wilds on Steam. I am enthusiastic about the next system but it’s hard to get overly excited for it like I could about new systems in the past. I don’t think they need to move away from the form factor of the Switch but at the same time it becomes more like the next iteration of the iPhone where it’s got great new features but hey, it’s still pretty much the same. I just don’t know what can change about the form factor that would get people psychotically excited for gaming systems anymore. Also, if magnetically connected joycon are legit I’m not so sure how I’m gonna feel about it. I primarily play in handheld so in that regard I play my Steam Deck more that the Switch due to being annoyed by the constant wiggle of the joycon in my hands as I’m playing. Sorry for the brain dump. It’s been a super craptastic day at work with one of my clients so I’m running on cruise control at this point.
The Level 5 games, Civ 7, and Monster Hunter Wilds are all I care about. Wilds isn’t confirmed for Switch, probably because it’s going to be a launch title on the Switch 2 (or whatever we’re calling it). I’ll more than likely get all these on Steam though.
@Jeronan I also do a lot of photography/videography and my rig is pretty heavy. I also play trumpet in an orchestra. The weight of a console at 1.47 lbs isn’t enough to complain about. Thing is I don’t even know why this is being debated. It’s comparing apples to oranges. Try carrying a M16 at 7.5 lbs on a 7 hour road march then tell me 1.47 lbs is heavy. My initial comment was only in response to someone else entirely saying there’s not that much of a difference, which there really isn’t. The weight difference argument is one only found on a Nintendo site’s comments section and message boards. If people are tiring out because of that (which has never happened to me playing Steam Deck) then good. Perhaps they’ll get some obviously much needed exercise.
@contractcooker that’s the hill you’re gonna die on? Weight of a Steam Deck: 1.475 lbs. weight of a Switch with joycons: 0.88 lbs. If you truly think that’s a considerable difference then perhaps someone should visit a gym. That’s just the standard version of those consoles but the OLED counterparts aren’t that much of a difference. The sound is only slightly more noticeable however these slight differences are enough to lose credibility (credibility to what exactly? Having an opinion?)….🤣 sure, okay buddy. You seem to be shilling for Nintendo pretty hard given the numerous debates you’ve sparked in this comments section alone. We don’t deny the Switch is a great system. It’s perfectly okay to like two different consoles so calm down little buddy…the Switch is still on top! 👍🏻
@cedarhyped I don’t see it as competition but in order to get the best of what gaming has to offer these days you need more than the one console. I view them as more companions than competitors.
@MK73DS my Steam Deck is only slightly heavier than my Switch, not really much louder and the library on Steam is huge. While Switch has Nintendo’s first party games (arguably the only reason to own a Switch) you can get just about anything and everything else on PC. The perfect balance is a two platform solution having both Nintendo’s platform and PC/handheld PC. I’ve been a Nintendo fan from the start, having gotten the original NES shortly after it released in the 80’s but I feel that to get the best out of gaming these days I really need to have more than the one platform.
I wish devs would stop announcing things prematurely. Waiting and waiting and waiting is annoying and causes burnout. For instance by the time Silksong finally releases I’m just not even gonna care.
I have a picture of him hanging next to my desk in my office. He was such an inspiration and his work ethic was impeccable. Anytime I feel stuck or discouraged his picture is there to remind me to try my best at everything I do and to do it with pride and a smile.
Umm..No. They shouldn’t release it. I played the first two when they released on Dreamcast back in my teenage years. They make us wait 18 YEARS for some closure and do they give it to us when the third finally released?!!!
SPOILER ALERT!!!
No! Now we have to wait for a fourth game that may or may not see the light of day! Probably be another 18 before we get it!
Sure would be nice if I could read the article without having to keep scrolling around to find the spot I was reading due to the ads shifting everything around. SUPER annoying.
I’ll be honest, sadly I haven’t touched my Switch OLED in probably about 4 months. I’ve been playing my pc and Steam Deck though. I really think it’s time for Nintendo to release their new console.
I wouldn’t recommend any of the Microids Agatha Christie games after playing through Murder on the Orient Express. They took a great classic and attempted to “modernize” it, even introducing new characters with prominent roles that weren’t in the book which just made it “reimagined” garbage. Sorry, that’s my hot take but if you’re a fan of the books don’t say I didn’t warn you.
I’ve been playing Sonic since it released (yeah I’m old) and I loved the Boom games honestly. The show was even better. Much better than that mess we recently got on Netflix (Sonic Prime). Prime was nothing but battle, battle, battle and very little story and Nine was super annoying.
@SoIDecidedTo I would say yes. The aesthetics got a facelift, no more annoying camera issues, but as far as some levels feeling “dark”, that is kinda the point with the world Mickey is in with this game. He unintentionally ruined this world with thinner so it’s certainly not going to be a happy, colorful place. I think it’s a great game and definitely worth another try if I were you however I would probably hold off for sale. I think at full price it definitely wasn’t worth it. It should have released at $40 honestly. I’m sure it will have a sale around Black Friday…
I just recently finished replaying this on Steam. Love it! Such an improvement over the original and I loved the original already faults and all. Thinking about starting another replay of it in the next couple of months. I didn’t exactly get my 100% completion but came close…not that I’m a completionist with every game I play. Most games I don’t even finish due to life.
I’m playing my trumpet. Lots and lots of trumpet. Also went to my son’s high school band marching competition but game related I’m playing on Epic Mickey Rebrushed on my Steam Deck. Love classic Mickey.
I have fond memories of playing this on Dreamcast and PS2 (still have my copies actually) but watching that just now the gameplay just seems super dated. Might wait for a sale on this one.
Honestly, and this is just MY personal opinion, but I really wish Nintendo would cut the gimmicks and just stick with making games/great consoles. We play games for games not gimmicks. I can’t tell you how much dust my gimmicky consoles have collected with all their peripherals that take up extra space and the ones that are just straight up consoles still get played occasionally. They lucked out with the Wii. Wii U was abysmal in sales and one could argue the DS/3DS was gimmicky but at least it was still pretty much a gaming system with two screens (I work with 3 monitors every day so it really didn’t bother me and it was an integrated part of the console). I don’t want to have to worry about sensor bars, bulky charging cables for huge controllers that have a giant screen, a separate charging station for said controller, etc. Just give me a console and a docking station, and a pro controller (the Switch has spoiled us). Again, just my personal opinion. Sorry if I stepped on anyone’s toes….
I think the demo played fine on both Switch and my Steam Deck/PC (yeah I tried the demo on all three). I enjoyed it back on the Wii despite its bugs but I’m a huge fan of classic Mickey (modern Mickey not so much). I’ll probably queue this up to download on my Steam Deck in a bit. Who knows, I may even grab the physical copy for my Switch at some point but I’m always kinda hesitant to buy new games for a system that’s about to be replaced since those games usually have a decent chance at getting ported to the new system.
I’m torn between picking this up for Switch or getting it on Steam. Switch would be for the OLED (I got my Steam Deck 3 months before the OLED version came out…yeah I was pretty sour about it as I would have held out for it had I known) and Steam because it looks slightly crisper on my Deck and PC. I’m not gonna double-dip though (technically triple-dip since I already own this on Wii).
