@SLIGEACH_EIRE They didn't, they just wanted Wii U owners - desperate for new games on the system - to give them money, so they claimed that they would make a version for the console.
It's a very successful and widely used tactic on Kickstarter.
It's nice to hear stories like this, and I always take solace in the fact that, if I were to suffer from any kind of disability or impairment in the future, I could continue to enjoy video games thanks to Nintendo releases such as Rhythm Paradise, 1 2 Switch and Mario Kart 8.
It's part of what makes the company special - the ethos that games "should be one thing - fun. Fun for everyone."
Dammit, I'm a sucker for a great rhythm game and was relieved when Dark Witch turned out to be average. Now I really wanna buy this. I have exams for God's sake
Christ, the whinging on this thread.
Nintendo owes you nothing.
I didn't manage to get one. It's a shame, but I can play any of the games in several different forms. Other than that, the console itself is a novelty item; barely more than a toy - aren't we all a bit too old to get so worked up over missing out on it?
Why did they begin by offering full software downloads and then regress into unappealing discounts? I saved my points back when games such as Pilotwings and Mario 64 were available and now I feel really silly
The audience is there, Psyonix. RL is always one of the top requested 3rd party games for Switch. I do think the Nintendo audience will enjoy this game as well, as it is good simple fun with hidden depth; a very Nintendo-like game.
It has to be half the price of Xbox Live/PS+ max to even remotely be worth it. If Nintendo show some restraint in the pricing of this service then I don't mind playing.
With every new set of "rewards" I regret not buying the full download games when they were still available.
I get that Nintendo shut down Club Nintendo because it wasn't financially worth it. I'm just annoyed that they pretended to replace it. Just admit that you don't like giving away free stuff.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Um, why exactly does it matter whether a character has been on a home console or a handheld? Does Pit not deserve to be in Smash? Robin? Lucina? Ness? Lucas? Mr Game & Watch? Your logic is ridiculous. Ryu is an iconic part of Nintendo's history. Street Fighter was massive on Nintendo consoles, and SSF4 3D sold well.

Re: Pokémon GO Leak Hints At Gen 3 For Upcoming Halloween Event
@FriedSquid I got confused when I read Dusknoir! If they dropped two gens on the same day I'd be way more tempted into redownloading...
Re: Stardew Valley Arrives on the Switch eShop This Week
Definitely buying, given the amount of hype surrounding this game. Great price as well!
Re: PAN-PAN Is Bringing A Tiny Big Adventure To Switch eShop Today
Why is this game so much cheaper on Switch than on Steam? Maybe Circle want to replicate Kamiko'a performance with a small price point?
Just bought it anyway. Not often games are cheaper on Switch
Re: Dillon's Rolling Western Is Coming Back For A Third Helping Of Armadillo-Rolling Action

Re: Special Discounts for The Legend of Zelda Series Coming to the eShop in Europe
Couldn't have even stretched to offer the NES Zeldas as gold point rewards? My Nintendo is awful.
Re: Nicalis Seemingly Confirms 1001 Spikes And Cave Story For Switch, Then Deletes Post
Yeah I'll buy Cave Story again. Who wouldn't?
That and VVVVVV are two of the finest indie platformery I've played.

Re: Inchvilles Crowdfunding Campaign Goes Live, 3D Printed Figure Pricing Revealed
I'd buy this because I'm a sucker for NFC figures, but the game does look like it needs work.
Re: Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World To Benefit From Frame Rate Bump On New Nintendo 3DS
@Mega_Yarn_Poochy That Poochy amiibo is the sole reason I'm glad this game exists.

Re: Rumour: The Skylanders Franchise Might Be Facing Cancellation
Maybe of they didn't release a whole new game and expensive line of toys every single year people would have remained interested.
Re: Famicom Mini Leads The Way In Japanese Charts, Leg Warmers May Be Next for a Big Comeback
Why do media create insist on tracking every form of 3DS separately while grouping together the two different PS4s?

Re: PlatinumGames Reveals Obscure Bayonetta 2 Secrets for Second Anniversary
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Um, why exactly does it matter whether a character has been on a home console or a handheld? Does Pit not deserve to be in Smash? Robin? Lucina? Ness? Lucas? Mr Game & Watch? Your logic is ridiculous. Ryu is an iconic part of Nintendo's history. Street Fighter was massive on Nintendo consoles, and SSF4 3D sold well.
Re: Capcom Unveils a Fresh Trailer and Three More Crossovers for Monster Hunter Stories
I love the fact they're collaborating with a charity. Imagine if Nintendo did this with endangered animal charities in Animal Crossing?
Re: Preview: Buckets Of Fun With Paper Mario: Color Splash
