Has there ever been a month where Ubisoft games were not on sale on any of the 3 consoles? Makes me never want to buy any of their games at full price.
If it was anyone but Nintendo, I would care less. But Gacha mechanics is a huge red flag for me. Having it be a brand new IP with Gacha mechanics does make me want to not give a dime depending on how greedy they are.
At first I wrote the game off despite being a fan of the genre, but after seeing such a glowing review here on NL and a cheap price, I decided to give it a shot. The game really exceeed my expectations. 10K is way too low for sales. Convinced a few people to jump in after showing them the game. Passing a buddy a joy-con for co-op play is such a great way to share a game. Really hope this game is a continued success.
@retro_player_22 I was referring to the comment, "One of the goals for Guilty Gear is achieving high quality graphics." The GBA port is not something I would consider high quality graphics.
Gosh almost makes me wish I was back in high school age. We'd used to play Ecks vs Sever on gba before class when weren't playing Mario Kart Super Circuit or Advance Wars 2. Although I'm not sure if teens play handhelds anymore... Besides Pokemon maybe.
The continued support is making feel more comfortable with the wait for WWE 2K18 on Switch. Still, it's a little annoying that WWE for Switch doesn't have a release date tho.
Considering Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2(Switch) was said to sell out last week, I'm not sure what to say about this current amount for this week being only 3,000 something compared to 24,000-ish. Personally I plan on picking up the game on Friday since I've been waiting to get the game since announcement. XV2 has been on sale multiple times on PS4 and Xbox one this year, so I'm not sure how American sales will go.
I'm curious what offers they were going to offer. I need to buy a new 3ds since my launch 3ds broke in an accident. Any form of discount on console + monster hunter would be great.
When was the last time they a Nintendo Direct for a sole game? Pikmin 3? what was the time gap between the Nintendo Direct and game rrelease date? This has caused me to hope for a Summer release date as being possible!
If I remember correctly, Monster Hunter Frontier G hasn't came out yet for the Vita. I think that will be the true test of the game and maybe even Vita. Japan doesn't really care for consoles as much anywhere, so I'm surprised the Vita version wasn't as pritorizied as the ps3 & Wii U version.
@ikki5 Not all military bases are in the USA. The big point of the story some people seem to miss, is that for people overseas, the military exchanges are usually the only easy way to get american versions of games. The 3ds isn't region free, so they can't just got to a local native store overseas get the game to wprk and expect it to work.
Disappointed to see the game is not available on Wii. Should've been available for both virtual consoles. I'll be sure to write Nintendo a letter at Nintendo.com
No other publisher has ever had a problem with their game being displayed before at EVO. In fact publishers usually the event to show off/announce new fighting games, characters, etc. In fact it's a shame they aren't using the event to show off a new character.
Animal Crossing was the one game series from Nintendo I would hope would get micro transactions. At least for actual extras... like the fortune cookie prizes. I would love to see various 3rd party franchises incorporated as such. It would be like Little Big Planet.
@DonMigs85 american eshop owner here. Game loads fine. Haven't played Urban Trial. I only ever get freezes when hitting the home button to goto Friends tab and trying to return, but I solved that issue by turning off wireless. It unfreezes for me then.
I hope this issue fixes the error code when trying to connect with people online. I only seem to get that error with folks in Australia tho.
I wouldnt mind paid dlc if it was for clone characters/skins. Essentially extras. Doesn't add much content wise like new moves or stage mechanics but it's there for people who want more.
@shinokami oh yessss. I bought Nba Street & SSX solely for that. Highly considered Fight Night just for Super Punch Out since I've never played it, but never got around to it.
Hrmm a silent Mickey Mouse on a boat vs a silent Link on a boat...
As much as I would love a Super Nintendo Land, gotta wonder how innovative it would be. Sounds so exciting tho. I'm already thinking of exhibits, rides, and attractions!

Re: Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp To End Online Service In November
Dang, if only they did for Dragalia Lost, would've even taken a regular priced Switch port

So does Nintendo own Fatal Frame or not? why is this appearing on Xbox and Playstation consoles?

Re: UK Charts: Two Point Hospital Grabs Second Spot, And It Sold Best On Switch
Makes you wonder if it wasn't free on Gamepass at launch how well it would've done.
Re: Get Super Savings On Capcom Switch Games This Christmas, With Up To 50% Off (North America)
Ultra Street Fighter 2 never goes on sale, but the Anniversary Collection goes on sale seemingly every month. Did Nintendo secretly publish that game?
Re: New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe And FIFA 19 Are Europe's Best-Selling Games Of 2019 So Far
This article isn't just about Switch. So what's the percentage for Switch version?
Re: Future Versions Of FIFA On Switch Could Be Legacy Editions, Just Like FIFA 20
If they are going to do things like this, Nintendo should hurry up and make a new Mario Strikers
Re: Travis Strikes Again DLC, Season Pass Pricing And Voice Cast Fully Detailed
If they didn't mention a season pass and just made the game $50 with "free" dlc, there wouldn't be as big of an uproar.
Re: HAMSTER Reveals The Next Batch Of Switch-Bound Neo Geo Games
Finally, Puzzle Bobble + Twinkle Star Sprites. The two non-Capcom arcade games that I was wanting for to come.

Does his comment mean that Dragon Ball Fighter Z may not run on Switch?

Re: Review: Flip Wars (Switch eShop)
Are the new updates baked into the USA version that just came out. Shouldn't this game get re-reviewed?
Re: The Jackbox Party Pack 3 Announced For Nintendo Switch
This would be an instant buy if it didn't require internet and I didn't buy all 3 on ps4. Quiplash is worth it alone.
Re: Mighty No. 9 Has Been Delayed Once Again as Keiji Inafune Offers Sincere Apologies
Couldn't they just release the game and then patch in multiplayer later like other games do?

I now can't decide whether to buy Steam World Dig for 3DS or get it for PS Vita/PS4 next week!
Re: Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Reduced to $19.99 on Both Wii U and 3DS
How many times is this game going to go on sale? Just drop the price already!

I don't have a Wii U, but does does TVii have Miiverse? sounds like a good funny opportunity for doodle captions
Re: Review: EarthBound (Wii U eShop)
Disappointed to see the game is not available on Wii. Should've been available for both virtual consoles. I'll be sure to write Nintendo a letter at Nintendo.com
Re: New 3DS eShop App Brings Voice and Text Chat to Japan
If you could use it while playing a game, like one of the apps in the top portion of the home screen, then sure I would be fine with paying $10.
Too bad Microsoft bought Skype. I would doubt Nintendo would want to use their brands visually.
Re: Smash Bros. Melee EVO Tournament Broke Viewer Records
Quite well indeed for a game over a decade old. I watched. Still a blast to view.
Re: Ubisoft - Splinter Cell: Blacklist A "Great Fit" For Wii U
Hopefully this gets it's own commercial to highlight the features

Re: The North American SNES Almost Shipped With Super FX Built-In
@micronean because the cost per cartridge would've been too high. Had to let the price of the chip cool off till it was viable to put in games.
Re: New Etrian Odyssey Title Makes Japanese Chart Debut in Third Place
Although 1/3 the size of the USA, why do Japanese sales always seem drastically lower?
Re: Deathstroke DLC Confirmed For Batman: Arkham Origins On Wii U
Is it just me, or is this the first of it's kind? I can't remember when any Wii U game received any Pre order bonus... Or any dlc.

Re: Fan Project Mega Man Unlimited Finished and Blasting Onto PC on 14th July
I remember back when 16- bit Mega Man sprites were all the rage for sprite comics, but it seems now nobody wants to touch them anymore.

I had no idea there was a Game Gear Mega Man game.

@KaiserGX Waluigi was the main villain for the Mario DDR game. Wasn't Birdo a boss for the Captain Rainbow game?
Re: Rumour: Batman: Arkham Origins to Include Multiplayer Mode
I feel Batman has the best rogues gallery of all super heroes, so I'm kinda interested if this mode can be fleshed out.
Re: Nintendo Of America Rep Insists That Lost Digital Content "Not Covered For Replacement"
To be fair, they weren't going to replace retail copies if stolen.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Should Make EA Co-operation a Priority
@shinokami oh yessss. I bought Nba Street & SSX solely for that. Highly considered Fight Night just for Super Punch Out since I've never played it, but never got around to it.
Re: Review: The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct (Wii U)
Wii U fans wanted multi-platform games, this one doesn't sell... uh oh.
Although Activision games I tend to usually not care for, I hope Activision doesn't look at this game and says new games don't sell on Wii U.
Re: Expect Some Fresh Pokémon X & Y Information Next Saturday
I would love to see character customization. Especially since people will be popping in and out with StreetPass
