As much as I like For Honor this is weird, a good sort of weird but still very odd.

Tbh this just sounds like a way to make more money. So even if a user owned both games, they'd need to essentially buy the DLC twice to get the exclusives in both.

I like it. The scenery, companions, mechanics, etc all look really great. My only gripe is the generic looking bosses. I get what they're going for given the Origami/Crafting theme but it does not look cool at all.

Hopefully we see more Origami themed bosses alongside some more traditional paper bosses.

As many have stated unless its considerably cheaper I don't see the need to do such a thing.

@SSJW I think you're misunderstanding the point. Official controllers come with a set amount of buttons which the game allows you to configure rather flexibly. Introducing a 3rd party controller that takes this one step further gives those people an unfair advantage especially as its being marketed as a way to perform certain techniques more easily.

@Kalmaro Right. It makes you wonder if these people ever consult Pro Players, tournament organizers and whatnot. Unless this is for the Wi-Fi casual I can't see it taking off.

Maybe I'm missing something but isn't using a button to perform a task that'd require multiple buttons considered cheating? That in conjunction with the fact that its wireless makes it seem like it wouldn't be popular in the competitive scene.

That's why you have 2FA. Doesn't matter how much you trust a company, better to be safe than sorry.

Thanks to that other event I already own Mana Spark. Seems I'll be adding more games to my collection.

I personally don't want it. I've played the trilogy on Wii and Wii U. Unless they add something substantial to it like revamped textures, models, etc I can only assume this is for those that have never played a Prime game before.

"As for my sister, when I told her I won on LINE, it was left on 'read' and ignored."

Perfect, haha.

Here's hoping there's a bigger variety of side-characters other than Toads. That being said this looks to be a fun return to the fold.

Better delayed than never coming out I suppose. On the bright side maybe the developers are using the chance to work from home to better connect with family, relax a bit more and this in turn might even improve the work they do.

Looks cool in concept, a neat alternative for sure but I can't imagine it'd be adopted by many.

@ThanosReXXX that's likely there for the sake of seeing how smooth the game is and whatnot. You can almost certainly turn it off.

If a company needs a select few individuals to remain relevant then that company isn't growing at all. I'm sure there are other gems within the ranks that given the opportunity would bring about great titles for us to enjoy.

I'm not a big fan of the "jokes" done on this day, most are just not funny though admittedly a few good ones exist. That being said, the backlash seen here is a bit entitled.

If true I wonder how they'll approach it. Ever since I finished Odyssey I've been wanting to revisit Mario 64 with that engine.

In my mind this sounds like the equivalent to your parents reminding you to write your name on your homework.

@Ryan_Again I think it depends on the nature of the issue. A natural disaster disrupts many events in general whereas an epidemic, whilst still bad, isn't as impactful on a digital event.

@JoeM103 Right. Another Prime 4 teaser (or better yet a trailer) would be nice. I mean being able to choose what colour background, text, etc you want. Not too many applications allow you to do that (for understandable reasons) but the ones that do are all the better for it.

I can see your code in your profile, I'm not a terribly active player (barely have time to do the Ninja Speed Runs haha) but I'll add you when I find the time to do so later today.

@JoeM103 honestly region specific applications are annoying. Aside from those that are like that for technical reasons, I do wish publishers (beyond the game industry) would work towards treating the internet as one larger platform than an extension of their country only. Netflix would be nice, though for me its having an internet browser that's easily accessible which would do it for me.

A Metroid theme would be great. I really like the sound effects idea. Though I wish more apps in general allowed people to customize their own experiences without necessarily having the ability to share it.

@JoeM103 I'd rather receive a long thought out reply than a short passive-aggressive insult, so don't worry!

In response to your reply though, I didn't really take voice chat into account to be honest. I'm too used to using other applications (e.g Discord) that I don't mind if Nintendo did or did not have it. However being able to message friends, join their games, getting one AAA title per month to play, a more robust matchmaking system for games like Mario Maker, etc. There are many small quality of life improvements that could be made.

Also this is for the Switch in particular. Having themes for the menu would be nice haha.

I don't particularly care if they're childish or not. I respect that some titles need to retain the image we saw in them as kids. I also understand that this is dependent on the series. You'll always have more mature series as well as those that are for everyone.

What I would like is for them to address the reputation they have gained for being a bit behind in terms of online services. Not sure if any information out there exists but the way they are implementing some things (e.g virtual consoles games) comes across as a decade old....heck the Wii still did it best tbh.

Needs to be a lot more vibrant imo, going for a more "serious" tone loses half of what makes MH what it is.

Is there any information on the pricing for this game? It's on my list of titles I want and I might just go for the PC version over the Switch if the pricing is more favourable.

There will probably be one with the next console, but Brawl still had the best single-player content.

It looks like an old PS3 game, which surprisingly has me wanting to play it.

@shinesprites yeah that'd be smart in the keep Switch relevant plan. Especially if they do something like BotW 2 is going to release in X month and you'll be able to play the first game free for a week.

@shinesprites you know if this was them gearing towards a world-wide 1-3 games free per month I'd totally be on board for that.

@llaffer give the guy who pushed that idea a raise, people will snatch up that bargain.

@BenAV Oh...well that's something. I guess it's to spare people's feelings.

Pretty sure I heard this one before. Regardless haven't other prominent members of the Smash Community revealed that Nintendo actually do a lot to support tournaments but from behind the scenes. This includes ensuring it all works from the legal standpoint, providing setups, monitors, etc.

To say that Nintendo don't do enough is unfair and whilst I think living in a reality where one can make a living playing games is a nice one, I feel like Nintendo are the ones being more realistic here by sticking to their own philosophy.

@Pirlo_ze_sniper probably a miss-click, I don't see it unless this site is designed to hide such things from the original poster.

Given that things seem to be getting worse in terms of the number of victims, restrictions, etc some impact is a given especially when there's a lot of uncertainty about things. That being said hopefully those affected recover and the spread/propagation of this virus is snubbed as soon as possible.

If I didn't have XCOM on PC already I'd buy this day one. Such a great game for those that love strategy, turn-based combat.

That "up to 75% off" seems a bit misleading but its technically true. Still wish that Fire Emblem DLC was discounted...

If the critics don't like it the film must be good haha.

If they want to discount some of the DLCs like the FE and Smash Pass I might be obliged to drop a few notes their way...

Considering what I remember of the game it should achieve all that relatively easily.

Are people forgetting that Nintendo pretty much said the exact same thing?

They aim for different target demographics, from their hardware to software and even the way they present their digital offerings. Of course there's some overlap, but its nowhere near big enough for any of these companies to call it competition when we live in a time where its common for people to buy multiple consoles anyway.

@Xiovanni F-Zero does have many characters, but whether they'd be fun to use is rather subjective. I personally am not bothered by Byleth, he's rather unique and fun to play as.

I'd rather get a new unique character than just ensuring a series is represented better. If both can be accomplished at the same time then that's even better.

@N64-ROX Not necessarily a chip but you can have external hardware that connects via USB and provides additional capabilities as long as the OS has the firmware to use it.

If they manage to get this game on Switch I'll believe that they've finally figured out how to download more RAM...

@DeltaPeng I'm not in a position where I'd need to go second hand, but I'd still be interested in a dedicated version of the switch.

I'm not a big fan of the whole concept of the switch, since I use mine only connected to a TV I'd much prefer stronger hardware but even I can see that things are going well for them. Whether it's games proceeding to break records or their mobile games performing well they are certainly making profit in a way that arguably rivals if not outperforms the Wii era.

Now if Nintendo would sell a version of the Switch without a screen, joy-cons, added Ethernet port, more USB slots and a Pro Controller for a similar if not cheaper price-point than the Switch I'd be interested in picking up another unit.

Both those points if true are cause for excitement. Mind you I still haven't finished TTYD but the first two games were always the most interesting ones (colour splash felt lifeless).

This game was on my "to try" list so this is exciting news.

If anything Smash tournaments should get an amount in relation to what it generates for Nintendo. Honestly though, I never saw the competitive scene as a driving force for sales and even with all the DLC we're getting I doubt it does much to help the situation.

I do think the community needs to cleanup things first, too many controversies that I doubt Nintendo want to be connected to.

Was hoping to see more Nintendo published titles on this list but I guess that was unrealistic to begin with.
