@PlywoodStick I do like Sf 3 better than 2. I have it on ps3, although the music implementation is horrible. When downloading music dlc for older versions of sf3, like for 2nd impact and new generation, the music resets every round instead of playing continuously the entire match. It doesn't do this with 3rd strike music.
I also have the cps3 version on mame. I would like to build a mame arcade cabinet someday, with a crt display. Dealing with the actual legit arcade version would be a pain with that suicide battery, the game killing itself. And cps2 hardware also has suicide batteries. Japanese developed games killing themselves, ha. Capcom stereotyping themselves.
@NEStalgia "Bare bones, removing any gimmicks or novelties, just twitch reflex controls over and over and over again forever. When ti's all about how fast you can react to button presses to the point you can't ever really change the game or add something to it, that IS kind of boring."
When it comes to fighting games like Street Fighter it's more than just fast twitch reflexes. Theres a lot of mind games going on, trying to trick you opponents, being unpredictable, putting pressure on your opponent, waiting for your opponent to make a mistake and exploiting it. If your doing the same thing over and over again, a good player will use that against you, and know exactly when to counter you, you won't win. Its very easy to counter predictability.
It is bare bones compared to Smash Bros but its a different game with a different intent. Its a game that mostly relies and focuses on the players skill. And thats the beauty of Street Fighter. Theres no crazy items or gimmicks that you can use to your advantage. Adding crazy gimmicks will take away on what makes Street Fighter, Street Fighter. It would be unfair to negatively judge a game on not having these things, when its intent of play style is different. It'll be like judging Madden NFL for not having Gravity, or Water based gameplay like in Mario Sunshine. Thats just not the type of game it was set out to be. Its bare bones compared to smash, but in this case its not a bad thing, its actually a plus.
And people do get excited for SF. People find the competitive skill based play the opposite of boring, despite not having gimmicks. Theres a reason why its featured in EVO and people get crazy hyped about it, especially when some person does a crazy comeback.
SF does have less room for big changes, compared to like a Mario. But with SF 4 they changed enough to where its still the recognizable SF people are familiar with, but tweaked it enough to where its different from previous versions, by adding new mechanics, focus attacks being one of them. Fighting games usually have their unique styles that sets them apart. Like Marvel vs Capcom where its heavily combo based. Launching your opponent in the air then do combos. If you change the SF formula to be like Marvel vs Capcom, then it wouldn't be SF anymore, it'll be Marvel vs Capcom. And whats the point of doing that when that game already exists, and even features SF characters. So you can see how they can't tweak SF too much, because it'll take away from what makes it SF.
Where as Mario, the thing that makes a Mario game is jumping and platforming, and thats it. And you can do many things with that. Like gravity, water based game, 2d/3d hybrid, different level designs, different platforming designs. Theres just room for more creativity.
@NEStalgia Its actually 30 dollars of worth of upgrade dlc not 100, if you upgrade every time. The rest comes from purchasing the games itself. I actual didn't get into SF4 till the Arcade Edition came out. So I had to pay 15 dollars for the Ultra version upgrade. And I got arcade edition disc used for 20 bucks. So it was 35 total for me. You can upgrade to Ultra from either Super Sf4 or Super SF4 arcade edition. But for people that got every release day one. Over 100 dollars in expenses.
There are 5 versions total. One was a free update balance patch to arcade edition. When I said 4 versions total, I meant 4 versions were available for purchase at retail. The many SF4's, Yup totally Capcom, lol.
I'm not sure why they abandoned the 3ds. Maybe they built that game without dlc in mind? Im guessing its not as good as console versions so they gave up on it, and it was more of a quick cash grab for capcom?
"Mario World may in many ways still be the best Mario, but imagine if 64, and Sunshine, and Galaxy, and Odyssey, and 3D World/Land couldn't stand on their own? Capcom kind of has that problem with Street Fighter as a franchise."
When it comes to Mario games, because of the nature of the game, theres a lot more creative freedom they can do with the series. Compared to fighting games theres less room for big drastic changes, since its mostly fighting and combos. You won't see a gravity mechanic in a street fighter, and have them build unique gameplay around it. If they do add it, most competitive people will ignore it in favor of traditional stages. It'll be more of a fun gimmick to use rather than a serious one. So every Mario game has a chance of being more different and unique, compared to fighting games where there's less drastic changes.
@Ryu_Niiyama The mods would have deleted his entire comment. I think his expression is in his avatar. He's flamin, he's furious with you, lol. He's an Ultra SF 2 hater.
@NEStalgia Difference between 3DS to recent Console versions. New stages, new balance tweaks, new mechanics, an edition select feature, new characters. There were 2 more versions that came out after the super sf 4 edition, which is what the 3ds version is. The most recent is Ultra sf 4. Capcom didn't care to update it when new versions came out on consoles, they abandoned the 3ds.
It was a 15 dollars to upgrade to the newer version. The original sf4 wasn't upgradable, that game was designed with no dlc in mind. But the following versions, Super Street fighter 4 and Super Street fighter 4 arcade edition were upgradable. So if you upgraded every time a new version dlc came out it would come out to 30 bucks, on top of the original game price. So if you bought every version you were spending over 100. 4 versions total.
@NEStalgia SFIV on the 3ds wasn't that good and wasn't updated to include new roster of characters. Console versions were much better.
I thought SF3 was a successor that improved on Street Fighter 2. It doesn't get the same attention as Street Fighter 2 though.
Mortal Kombat is a series that just got better over time. Newer games are so much better than older ones. Street Fighter should make a big leap like MK. But than again old Mk games weren't that good to begin with, it was mostly the gore factor that attracted people, so there was much that could be improved on. Where as SF got it pretty good with the 2nd game. So a leap forward wouldn't be as noticeable as with MK, and people won't be as amazed. Its like a curse for Capcom for getting it right early on.
lol, I was expecting @AlexOlney to de-evolve into a Space Odyssey 2001 gorilla. He was so dumbfounded his whole brain dumb downed into a permanent primitive apelike state.

@NEStalgia @ThanosReXXX What @DAMO has insecurity issues? I haven't been on this site for long. So @rjejr is the grumpy old man. and DAMO is the insecure person. Seems like a perfect combination for some entertaining comments. Just explain yourself, and your misunderstandings, and move on, no reason for anger rage. If anyone considers this a real angry argument, it was the weakest argument I ever seen. That mountain looks nothing like in BOTW, the crack is smaller, DAMO you failed! You failed to meet ThanosReXXX BOTW mountain expectations. He's now fussy, how do you live with yourself?
@bolt05 I don't see a problem with emulation as long as you own a legal copy of the game, because the company has already made their profit off of you. Laws where made so that they won't loose money. Its the money they are loosing not emulation that is the problem.
With that mindset borrowing physical copies of games from your friends to fully play a game would be considered bad too, because companies are not making a profit off you, and you get a free game to play. You won't get in trouble with the law but its more a moral issue that is equal to pirating games off the internet. Though i'm not going to be the law enforcement, I'll let people with occupations in that field handle that.
@C-Threep Oh ya, this video talks about that emulator, and talks about the legality of emulators, and the negative stigma they have. Long video I saw a while ago. Its a really good informative video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLWY7fCXUwE
@ThanosReXXX Those people better own a legal copy of BOTW before emulating, its a good game that deserves to be bought. Nintendo has no legal ground when it comes to emulators, they are legal. No emulator has ever been ruled illegal in the court of law, Ever.
@Ryu_Niiyama we're still cool right? You seemed like you were on edge with that last reply. I wasn't angrily replying or anything. I was just arguing from the perspective of scholarly published papers, I also read a lot of linguistics articles as well. Btw, I just checked out Perfume, and their music videos are awesome, very creative. I liked voice, it was really cool, how they had to fit in the moving wall. They seem pretty cool.
@Ryu_Niiyama Hood people are just a subculture, I could've used any other subculture for my example, it wasn't a racism analogy. Sorry if you misunderstood me. It doesn't mean they're any less. I wasn't saying that you weren't accepting them, just some of the slang they use, or some of the slang of any other subcultures, which there is nothing wrong with that. It was just a playful joke.
Basically it says that slang is neither lazy nor ungrammatical, broken english, or defective, the same goes for ebonics. It follows the same grammatical structure as Formal language, following the same rules as school book grammar. That slang is a part of the English language, many words come from words that are already in the dictionary, they are just given new meanings. Slang can also be created to express things that formal language currently doesn't. Me personally I'm not against all slang only some. Some I like, some I don't, it depends on a couple of reasons of my own.
Many words have started out as informal slang and now are a part of formal language, words like spurious or strenuous were once considered slang but not any more. Words like Gig, Groovy, Hippy are slang. Some slang comes and goes, some stay. Gig is now used as a synonym along with other words like concert, performance, or recital. Language works upon agreed on definitions, which also goes for slang, language changes its just something that unstoppable.
There are many words and phrases you probably didn't know was slang but use it in every day speech. Like for example, * A hot mess, aggro, nerd, stoked, airhead, amped, be into, bite me, grub, blacked out, bro, bromance, burn-out, cheesy, chick, chill out, cool, ditch, dork, emo, fine, for real, friend zone, freak out, hardcore, harsh, hate on, lol, Jk, text, L.G.B.T*, are all slang words. Slang is a part of expressing ourselves and people catch on their meanings quick. Words can have informal slang or formal meaning depending on use. Give the article a read if you want, whenever you have time, its very interesting. Its a short read 20 pages and the rest is dedicated as a dictionary for slang. Wow that was a long reply.
I did not like Zelda's English voice acting that much. As soon as the update released to change languages I switch right away to the Latin American Spanish dub, its superior to the English dub. Acting in it is good. When it comes to Dubbing Mexicans just have more experience, they've been doing it for a very long time.
@Ryu_Niiyama Yay, hurray for typos! There is a language where people communicate by whistling, Sylbo, so barking and crowing isn't too far off.
Slang has always existed since people started to speak. All words start off as something new, then gets added and becomes a part of the language, this is how we have our vast vocabulary today. Miscommunication may happen when new words come into existence, but people catch on very quickly. Usually formal language remains the same. Slang is a part of the language and adds variety, even harsh slang adds stronger emotion that some words can't. A good linguistic teacher will teach that no one speaks a language better or worse, everyone in the world speaks their language just fine and correctly.
Slang isn't lazy its just another word to use. Although I'm like you in that I don't like to hear a lot of slang either, so I'm a hypocrite too, defending slang yet not liking it so much. I'll even say its, gasp, lazy! Yay for hypocrites! But I do know there is nothing wrong with it, since there is no such thing as an incorrect way to speak, its more my personal opinion. Maybe we should drop our judgments and accept how the hood people speak, just like how we accept different races of people. Just maybe.
@NEStalgia 16 is the age of consent in many countries.
@Lone_Beagle There have been people with good credentials that have given bad performances. You don't have to have a degree in acting to be able to have an opinion on whether or not you think its good. If that was true then that also goes for judging music and movies. How do you know if she's a good actor if you have no degree to judge properly. How do you know if the movie or music is good or not? You wouldn't with that mindset, and would have to stay neutral, not being able to enjoy her performance, until a professional tells you if its good or not. We've been hearing acting our entire lives so wouldn't that be credentials enough to compare and contrast ourselves.
@Ryu_Niiyama Voice acting and story in games usually does suck. They hardly get it right. Language is an every growing ever changing thing, so I don't think "butchering" a language is the right choice of word there. With that mindset all languages are butchered. New words are always added, words stopped being used, and pronunciation is something that changes all the time. Cultures mix a lot, it has been like that for the entire human history.
It doesn't mean you have like the way certain people talk though. If thats what you meant by butchering, then thats fine. If your using butchering as in the language is being destroyed, thats a matter of opinion and not that its actually being destroyed.
DQ8 Orchestral music was awesome. To bad it wasn't in the US 3DS version.
@JasmineDragon Sorry my bad, didn't think anybody would be bothered by it. I just wanted to make a joke about Nintendo and all the 3DS Models they came out with. I modified my original post to exclude the 2DS part, and changed the 0DS part. Should be A-OK now.
@PlywoodStick They better offer MILK here. Its a perfect fit for a Square Enix restaurant. I'm sure customers would throw all their cash at them if they offer that.
@PlywoodStick KFC? Kentucky Fried Chocobo? Ha so Corny. Which goes perfect with any Kentucky Fried Jokes. Can I have some corn with my jokes please. Corn is a dish best served Corny.
@PlywoodStick True, Assembly lines are multi year agreements. Production for the NES Classic was probably shut down for the Switch. They probably have limited assembly lines available, and with them doubling the production for the Switch they need all the lines they got.
I don't really see the Snes classic coming soon with the Switch being the main focus. The Nes Classic was either a marketing tool or was shut down for production of the Switch.
@gatorboi352 You ain't so bad gaterboi352. Some people just can't handle you dropping that reptilian brain knowledge. Sometimes tho, it sounds like you need some more of that human brain power. Maybe you should evolve or something, you gator reptilian thing. You Gatortillian. You ain't no Goomba I know.
@Ryu_Niiyama If they manage to make an open world Pokemon game, big like Breath of the Wild big, with all monsters viewable on screen, and have battle transitions similar to Xenoblade or Chrono Tigger, I can guarantee people will go crazy for it.
Imagine traveling to the mountains, or big forest areas, with Pokemon actually to scale, small ones and sky scrapper tall ones. The Switch would be one of the best selling consoles ever guaranteed.
@Ryu_Niiyama Ha ha, With you being annoyed with half the site. The whole Nintendo hates money thing is ridiculous. Its funny for a joke, but has no place in a serious debate. No such thing as a surviving Corporation hating money. They want that money pouring in.
@XCWarrior Its all just speculation basically. Im not doubting theres money in classic games, I'm just bringing other possibilities.
Another reason they probably canceled the NES Classic could be because of the Switch. Nintendo did say they are doubling production. Production lines are multi year agreements, so probably for Nintendo to do the double production of the Switch is to shut down the assembly line for the NES Classic and use those lines for the Switch. The Switch is the #1 priority for them and they're using what limited resources they have to meet demand. Also when you subtract all the licensing for those games the NES Classic is just not as profitable as the Switch for Nintendo.
The thing is we don't know if the Classic was a Marketing tool for Nintendo, or if they wanted to produce more but couldn't to meet demand for Switch, or if its a mixture of both. Nintendo has really poor communication. If its the assembly line reason then why not say it, I'm pretty sure most people will understand and not feel cheated. Its like an easy argument to use to cool down people. Since they don't its probably because the Classic was a marketing tool, I mean what are they going to say, "Hey guys we never cared about the classic, it was all to take advantage of you guys to have us on your mind."
@Ryu_Niiyama Yes, its perfect when taking your Switch out in the battlefield. Never know when you'll get bored shooting real people and would rather shoot virtual ones.
Ha! A functional Switch emulator already. Like thats going to happen. The only Switch experience they're getting is money switching from their bank account to some theives pocket.
@XCWarrior How much money are they missing out? Newer games is where the money is at, not older ones. If the Nes Classic is such a big money maker for Nintendo why did they discontinue it so soon? No one in their right mind will discontinue something that is so profitable, especially a surviving business, there is no such thing as a corporation hating money.
Nintendo has been selling VC rereleases since the Wii days so they have a good idea how much old games sell. Theres VC available already on 3 systems, going to be 4 with the Switch. How many people are willing to buy the games again for the 5th time? Also how many people was planning on picking up the Nes Classic and not the other nintendo systems? Im pretty sure nintendo pays attention to what people say and is aware of the demand for it. This is a nintendo fan site so evidence of how many people want it from here, or even in your everyday life is anecdotal.
It seems like it was more a marketing tool to spread the word about Nintendo. Anything to have Nintendo on peoples minds. Have older people talk about games from Nintendo they enjoyed as a kid, to friends, family and their kids. A hard to get item people are going crazy for will get lots of publicity. If it is a big money maker then I wouldn't be surprised if they brought it back as a rerelease special, especially if enough people beg. Discontinue it to bring in the talks, then re continue it seems like a plan, if they plan to re release it.
@XCWarrior How many people actually won't buy a Switch because of the NES Classic, not very many, it seemed like it was a failure on purpose and Nintendo actually knows what they're doing to market themselves. Overall it benefits them more than it hurts them.
Just like how the music, movie industry loves to spread rumors and scandals on their celebrities to bring attention, any publicity even bad is good publicity.
With Pokemon Go, Nes Classic, Commercials, Zelda being one of the highest rated games ever, they are bringing more attention then what the Wii U had.
Eh whatever, it was more like a Limited Edition get yours before its to late offer corporations use to drum up interest and get attention for themselves. Newer games are more of a priority for them, thats where the money is at.
More people own the Switch than the Nes Classic with numbers growing, so as long as they release Virtual Console on it, have good VC support for it, with better emulation then what the Nes Classic offered then we're good to go.
It does suck for people that don't care for newer games or the switch, and just want to relive the classics for a cheaper price instead of paying for a 300 dollar system, plus buying all the VC games separately, but eh what can you do.
Nintendo obviously never cared about this product, and just used it for attention, get older people re interested in Nintendo that used to play the old Nes games back in the day, and have them talk about to their kids what they use to play, so the kids can get interested in Nintendo also. Even if they don't get their hands on one if at least they talk about it then Nintendo is good to go.
Another console thats spoken of in myth. Its technology has not been seen by many human eyes. I want to believe it exists, I truly want to hold those controllers made for midgets, but without proof, I'm just chasing false dreams.
@bimmy-lee The dude was totally crushing on Ryu_Niiyama it obvious.
@Captain_Toad I was talking about the hilarious comments between Ryu_Niiyama and HeelGanon. Was yours a joke? It seemed like it was serious.
@Ryu_Niiyama I had to create an account because I was laughing so hard. He was the weirdest troll ever. His first comment made no sense either but I gave him the benefit of the doubt maybe theres more to him, but nope after the second post. It made no sense for him to beef it with you when you clearly giving a level headed explanation. It was great, I love people like that, it was a lot of fun. Oh that lover HeelGanon.
I was never trolled ever in my life either, but I did once had my own 10 second troll playing street fighter 4 online. I get a message on PSN of someone calling me mentally retarded, looser, and calling me lots of names, it was the funniest thing ever. It was totally unexpected and was laughing for a good 20 minutes.
So does the Nes Classic actually exist? I've never seen one. I heard it was only spoken of in legends. I heard that if you pray, beg and donate lots of money to these creatures called scalpers it'll magically appear.
@Ryu_Niiyama I think HeelGanon likes you. Its like an elementary school kid bullying the girl he likes its great. Awe how cute you have your very own crush, someone affectionate to you.
At first I thought maybe theres more to his comment, maybe theres a deeper message to what he's saying, but after the second I was like nope he not the deep thinker I thought he was.
I actually made an account just for this. These stream of comments I read is the funniest thing I read all morning, all of nintendo life for that matter. Im usually a reader not a commenter.

You won't get in trouble with the law but its more a moral issue that is equal to pirating games off the internet. Though i'm not going to be the law enforcement, I'll let people with occupations in that field handle that.
Re: Cemu Wii U Emulator Version 1.7.5 Shows Daunting Progress With Zelda: Breath of the Wild
@C-Threep Oh ya, this video talks about that emulator, and talks about the legality of emulators, and the negative stigma they have. Long video I saw a while ago. Its a really good informative video.

Re: Cemu Wii U Emulator Version 1.7.5 Shows Daunting Progress With Zelda: Breath of the Wild
@ThanosReXXX Those people better own a legal copy of BOTW before emulating, its a good game that deserves to be bought. Nintendo has no legal ground when it comes to emulators, they are legal. No emulator has ever been ruled illegal in the court of law, Ever.

@Ryu_Niiyama we're still cool right? You seemed like you were on edge with that last reply. I wasn't angrily replying or anything. I was just arguing from the perspective of scholarly published papers, I also read a lot of linguistics articles as well. Btw, I just checked out Perfume, and their music videos are awesome, very creative. I liked voice, it was really cool, how they had to fit in the moving wall. They seem pretty cool.
Re: Feature: Taking A Deep Breath: Introducing The Voice Of Zelda, Patricia Summersett
@Ryu_Niiyama Hood people are just a subculture, I could've used any other subculture for my example, it wasn't a racism analogy. Sorry if you misunderstood me. It doesn't mean they're any less. I wasn't saying that you weren't accepting them, just some of the slang they use, or some of the slang of any other subcultures, which there is nothing wrong with that. It was just a playful joke.
This is a linguistics paper published by UCLA on Slang
http://www.linguistics.ucla.edu/general/WorkingPapers/Occasional_Papers24_Slang6.pdf
Basically it says that slang is neither lazy nor ungrammatical, broken english, or defective, the same goes for ebonics. It follows the same grammatical structure as Formal language, following the same rules as school book grammar. That slang is a part of the English language, many words come from words that are already in the dictionary, they are just given new meanings. Slang can also be created to express things that formal language currently doesn't. Me personally I'm not against all slang only some. Some I like, some I don't, it depends on a couple of reasons of my own.
Many words have started out as informal slang and now are a part of formal language, words like spurious or strenuous were once considered slang but not any more. Words like Gig, Groovy, Hippy are slang. Some slang comes and goes, some stay. Gig is now used as a synonym along with other words like concert, performance, or recital. Language works upon agreed on definitions, which also goes for slang, language changes its just something that unstoppable.
There are many words and phrases you probably didn't know was slang but use it in every day speech. Like for example, * A hot mess, aggro, nerd, stoked, airhead, amped, be into, bite me, grub, blacked out, bro, bromance, burn-out, cheesy, chick, chill out, cool, ditch, dork, emo, fine, for real, friend zone, freak out, hardcore, harsh, hate on, lol, Jk, text, L.G.B.T*, are all slang words. Slang is a part of expressing ourselves and people catch on their meanings quick. Words can have informal slang or formal meaning depending on use. Give the article a read if you want, whenever you have time, its very interesting. Its a short read 20 pages and the rest is dedicated as a dictionary for slang. Wow that was a long reply.
Re: Feature: Taking A Deep Breath: Introducing The Voice Of Zelda, Patricia Summersett
I did not like Zelda's English voice acting that much. As soon as the update released to change languages I switch right away to the Latin American Spanish dub, its superior to the English dub. Acting in it is good. When it comes to Dubbing Mexicans just have more experience, they've been doing it for a very long time.
Re: Feature: Taking A Deep Breath: Introducing The Voice Of Zelda, Patricia Summersett
@Ryu_Niiyama Yay, hurray for typos! There is a language where people communicate by whistling, Sylbo, so barking and crowing isn't too far off.
Slang has always existed since people started to speak. All words start off as something new, then gets added and becomes a part of the language, this is how we have our vast vocabulary today. Miscommunication may happen when new words come into existence, but people catch on very quickly. Usually formal language remains the same. Slang is a part of the language and adds variety, even harsh slang adds stronger emotion that some words can't. A good linguistic teacher will teach that no one speaks a language better or worse, everyone in the world speaks their language just fine and correctly.
Slang isn't lazy its just another word to use. Although I'm like you in that I don't like to hear a lot of slang either, so I'm a hypocrite too, defending slang yet not liking it so much. I'll even say its, gasp, lazy! Yay for hypocrites! But I do know there is nothing wrong with it, since there is no such thing as an incorrect way to speak, its more my personal opinion. Maybe we should drop our judgments and accept how the hood people speak, just like how we accept different races of people. Just maybe.
Re: Feature: Taking A Deep Breath: Introducing The Voice Of Zelda, Patricia Summersett
@NEStalgia 16 is the age of consent in many countries.
@Lone_Beagle There have been people with good credentials that have given bad performances. You don't have to have a degree in acting to be able to have an opinion on whether or not you think its good. If that was true then that also goes for judging music and movies. How do you know if she's a good actor if you have no degree to judge properly. How do you know if the movie or music is good or not? You wouldn't with that mindset, and would have to stay neutral, not being able to enjoy her performance, until a professional tells you if its good or not. We've been hearing acting our entire lives so wouldn't that be credentials enough to compare and contrast ourselves.
@Ryu_Niiyama Voice acting and story in games usually does suck. They hardly get it right. Language is an every growing ever changing thing, so I don't think "butchering" a language is the right choice of word there. With that mindset all languages are butchered. New words are always added, words stopped being used, and pronunciation is something that changes all the time. Cultures mix a lot, it has been like that for the entire human history.
It doesn't mean you have like the way certain people talk though. If thats what you meant by butchering, then thats fine. If your using butchering as in the language is being destroyed, thats a matter of opinion and not that its actually being destroyed.

@JasmineDragon Sorry my bad, didn't think anybody would be bothered by it. I just wanted to make a joke about Nintendo and all the 3DS Models they came out with. I modified my original post to exclude the 2DS part, and changed the 0DS part. Should be A-OK now.

Re: Feature: 30 Games We Might Get On The SNES Mini Classic Edition
@PlywoodStick True, Assembly lines are multi year agreements. Production for the NES Classic was probably shut down for the Switch. They probably have limited assembly lines available, and with them doubling the production for the Switch they need all the lines they got.
I don't really see the Snes classic coming soon with the Switch being the main focus. The Nes Classic was either a marketing tool or was shut down for production of the Switch.
Re: The Switch Mini Isn't Real Yet, But These Mock-Ups Sure Are Convincing

Maybe you should evolve or something, you gator reptilian thing. You Gatortillian. You ain't no Goomba I know.
Re: Nintendo Switch Sales Remain Strong in Japan
@Ryu_Niiyama If they manage to make an open world Pokemon game, big like Breath of the Wild big, with all monsters viewable on screen, and have battle transitions similar to Xenoblade or Chrono Tigger, I can guarantee people will go crazy for it.
Imagine traveling to the mountains, or big forest areas, with Pokemon actually to scale, small ones and sky scrapper tall ones. The Switch would be one of the best selling consoles ever guaranteed.
Re: US Federal Trade Commission Warns Against Nintendo Switch 'Emulator' Scams
@Uncensored Oh really, was it functional or low FPS. When I said functional I meant High FPS with graphical stuff emulated decently.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Needs to Learn Lessons From Its NES Mini Mistakes
@Ryu_Niiyama Ha ha, With you being annoyed with half the site. The whole Nintendo hates money thing is ridiculous. Its funny for a joke, but has no place in a serious debate. No such thing as a surviving Corporation hating money. They want that money pouring in.
@XCWarrior Its all just speculation basically. Im not doubting theres money in classic games, I'm just bringing other possibilities.
Another reason they probably canceled the NES Classic could be because of the Switch. Nintendo did say they are doubling production. Production lines are multi year agreements, so probably for Nintendo to do the double production of the Switch is to shut down the assembly line for the NES Classic and use those lines for the Switch. The Switch is the #1 priority for them and they're using what limited resources they have to meet demand. Also when you subtract all the licensing for those games the NES Classic is just not as profitable as the Switch for Nintendo.
The thing is we don't know if the Classic was a Marketing tool for Nintendo, or if they wanted to produce more but couldn't to meet demand for Switch, or if its a mixture of both. Nintendo has really poor communication. If its the assembly line reason then why not say it, I'm pretty sure most people will understand and not feel cheated. Its like an easy argument to use to cool down people. Since they don't its probably because the Classic was a marketing tool, I mean what are they going to say, "Hey guys we never cared about the classic, it was all to take advantage of you guys to have us on your mind."
Re: US Federal Trade Commission Warns Against Nintendo Switch 'Emulator' Scams
@PlywoodStick Oh, i'm ready. I just hope I'm not SCAMMED out of a good experience. Corny jokes are fun.
Re: US Federal Trade Commission Warns Against Nintendo Switch 'Emulator' Scams
@PlywoodStick Whoa, Its burning in here. Maybe we'll need a SWITCH in attitude. Or at least EMULATE a reasonable one.
Re: Random: This Nintendo Switch Case Looks Like It Could Withstand Pretty Much Anything
@Ryu_Niiyama Yes, its perfect when taking your Switch out in the battlefield. Never know when you'll get bored shooting real people and would rather shoot virtual ones.
Re: Weirdness: You Can Play and Win in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Without Touching the Controller

Re: US Federal Trade Commission Warns Against Nintendo Switch 'Emulator' Scams
Ha! A functional Switch emulator already. Like thats going to happen. The only Switch experience they're getting is money switching from their bank account to some theives pocket.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Needs to Learn Lessons From Its NES Mini Mistakes
@XCWarrior How much money are they missing out? Newer games is where the money is at, not older ones. If the Nes Classic is such a big money maker for Nintendo why did they discontinue it so soon? No one in their right mind will discontinue something that is so profitable, especially a surviving business, there is no such thing as a corporation hating money.
Nintendo has been selling VC rereleases since the Wii days so they have a good idea how much old games sell. Theres VC available already on 3 systems, going to be 4 with the Switch. How many people are willing to buy the games again for the 5th time? Also how many people was planning on picking up the Nes Classic and not the other nintendo systems? Im pretty sure nintendo pays attention to what people say and is aware of the demand for it. This is a nintendo fan site so evidence of how many people want it from here, or even in your everyday life is anecdotal.
It seems like it was more a marketing tool to spread the word about Nintendo. Anything to have Nintendo on peoples minds. Have older people talk about games from Nintendo they enjoyed as a kid, to friends, family and their kids. A hard to get item people are going crazy for will get lots of publicity. If it is a big money maker then I wouldn't be surprised if they brought it back as a rerelease special, especially if enough people beg. Discontinue it to bring in the talks, then re continue it seems like a plan, if they plan to re release it.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Needs to Learn Lessons From Its NES Mini Mistakes
@XCWarrior How many people actually won't buy a Switch because of the NES Classic, not very many, it seemed like it was a failure on purpose and Nintendo actually knows what they're doing to market themselves. Overall it benefits them more than it hurts them.
Just like how the music, movie industry loves to spread rumors and scandals on their celebrities to bring attention, any publicity even bad is good publicity.
With Pokemon Go, Nes Classic, Commercials, Zelda being one of the highest rated games ever, they are bringing more attention then what the Wii U had.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Needs to Learn Lessons From Its NES Mini Mistakes
Eh whatever, it was more like a Limited Edition get yours before its to late offer corporations use to drum up interest and get attention for themselves. Newer games are more of a priority for them, thats where the money is at.
More people own the Switch than the Nes Classic with numbers growing, so as long as they release Virtual Console on it, have good VC support for it, with better emulation then what the Nes Classic offered then we're good to go.
It does suck for people that don't care for newer games or the switch, and just want to relive the classics for a cheaper price instead of paying for a 300 dollar system, plus buying all the VC games separately, but eh what can you do.
Nintendo obviously never cared about this product, and just used it for attention, get older people re interested in Nintendo that used to play the old Nes games back in the day, and have them talk about to their kids what they use to play, so the kids can get interested in Nintendo also. Even if they don't get their hands on one if at least they talk about it then Nintendo is good to go.
Re: The Famicom Classic Edition Has Now Also Been Discontinued

Re: Feature: The Big Nintendo Direct Summary - 12th April
@bimmy-lee The dude was totally crushing on Ryu_Niiyama it obvious.
@Captain_Toad I was talking about the hilarious comments between Ryu_Niiyama and HeelGanon. Was yours a joke? It seemed like it was serious.
@Ryu_Niiyama I had to create an account because I was laughing so hard. He was the weirdest troll ever. His first comment made no sense either but I gave him the benefit of the doubt maybe theres more to him, but nope after the second post. It made no sense for him to beef it with you when you clearly giving a level headed explanation. It was great, I love people like that, it was a lot of fun. Oh that lover HeelGanon.
I was never trolled ever in my life either, but I did once had my own 10 second troll playing street fighter 4 online. I get a message on PSN of someone calling me mentally retarded, looser, and calling me lots of names, it was the funniest thing ever. It was totally unexpected and was laughing for a good 20 minutes.
Re: Nintendo Has Discontinued The NES Classic Edition in North America
So does the Nes Classic actually exist? I've never seen one. I heard it was only spoken of in legends. I heard that if you pray, beg and donate lots of money to these creatures called scalpers it'll magically appear.
Re: Feature: The Big Nintendo Direct Summary - 12th April
@Ryu_Niiyama I think HeelGanon likes you. Its like an elementary school kid bullying the girl he likes its great. Awe how cute you have your very own crush, someone affectionate to you.
At first I thought maybe theres more to his comment, maybe theres a deeper message to what he's saying, but after the second I was like nope he not the deep thinker I thought he was.
I actually made an account just for this. These stream of comments I read is the funniest thing I read all morning, all of nintendo life for that matter. Im usually a reader not a commenter.
