why are you asking this when you know very well that the majority of the users here are Nintendo Elitists that cannot stand that people is having fun with something they consider "inferior" or "too mainstream"?
Seriously though, good for him. He has always been very active and known even if he never had a huge impact like other famous developers and his games has always been more niche. The Rabbids may have been an exception but that has gone on another path for some time now.
@hotgamer77 Game Boy was during the NES/SNES era. Both huge successes. DS was during the Wii era. The Wii was a huge success. Only GBC and GBA wehere during the N64 and GC eras.
3DS was an interesting console. It was never as successful as the Game boy and DS families but it was successful enough to keep Nintendo afloat during the disastrous Wii U era. It has good games but very few memorable ones.
I had one and if it wasn't for Animal Crossing, I may have stopped playing with it. It was a cool console anyhoo and has a solid library. Its VC was awesome.
I played SM64 and Galaxy a few months ago, so I'll go with Sunshine. The last time I played it was like 15 years ago and I remember not liking it very much.
I am starting to believe that Nintendo won't release anything major this year and wait until early 2021. Heck, they may even forgo the Mario anniversary altogether.
Final Fantasy 6 was the pinnacle of FF games. 7 was the more mainstream but got a bit sillier and weird. FF8 was just dumb. I found FF9 a bit childish. FFXV played it on PS4 and it was terrible.
You guys are referring to that snorefest we saw on monday? really?
that indie showcase was bad. and according to the internetz I MUST buy those games because they were made by DIVERSE! people? seriously? even if the gameplay looks generic and boring?
Indie games are terrible. They are the polar opposite of the industry games just more pretentious and condescending.
Nintendo is the only game company that still makes True Gaming Consoles. Xbx and PS are more simmilar to medium-rate PC's that connect to the TV. Nothing wrong with that.
Nintendo has always survived because they know how to play their cards. They have made mistakes but their arcade and toy dna makes them stand out and keep going.
@GeoChrome I would agree except that in their investors brief they said that everything is on schedule and hasn't changed. Which makes it more baffling.
I know that it was supposed to be small. That's fine. But after months of being quiet, it was dissapointing.
Only like 5 games in total? and only niche games? come on! I'm sorry but very few cares or give a damn about SMT. It's a super niche series. That wrestling game look awful. Another uninteresting battle royale game and cadence of hyrule getting DLC is just meh.
I find hard to believe that Nintendo cannot do a proper Direct with trailers because of the goddamn Covid when even smaller companies can do it. I don't know why they are so apathetic.
They are so drunk with the Switch success that they are forgetting that good will can be damaged if they on't strike that apathy soon.
@Zorox88 check the sales peaks. When Mario Kart Tour was released, sales for MK8DX had a bump. The same for Animal crossing. The same goes for Pokemon Go (although it is not 100% Nintendo but the VC games had a huge bump in sales and many pre-orders for Ultra sun and moon increased).
There is a relation between the mobile apps use and the console games sales, either you want to admit it or not.
To people whining about the 40 dls tag....porting a game of this type is not easy. It takes time, manpower and money. 40 dls i actually the standard and is good enough.
And even if it was 10 dls (which is absurd) you'll find something to complain.
Of course, all Nintendo fans are happy with this. They cannot stand the fact that are other people out there with other tastes than them.
This is interesting. It has been known that the Wii U failure and the 3DS underwhelming success was the motivation to make mobile games, after Pachmoron and pseudo Nintendo fans were asking for Nintendo to ditch their hardware and go third party or full mobile. Nintendo's mobile games were never intended to replace consoles but to have an extra income in case Switch failed.
Now is not the case anymore so is obvious that they will slow down but I doubt they'll leave their mobile business because, for better or worse, they gave money to them and help them survive the transition to Switch.
I think Nintendo mobile games were very good for what they were designed: have extra income and attract new users to their consoles. And it worked, if not as good as they expected.
But most importantly, it laughs in the face of all the morons that wanted Nintendo go third party and proved them wrong. And that's the best part all of it.

Good luck in his future endevours.

Re: Rumour: New Switch Model Launching Early 2021, According To Taiwanese Newspaper
Yeaahhh...not buying it
They have saying this for years and now that MS and Sony's new toys are coming, this resurgence of "switch pro" rumors stink of FUD.
I bet there's a new revision coming soon but not PRO. Maybe smaller or another version like a Playstation TV kind of device.

Re: Braid Is Coming To Nintendo Switch Next Year
@JokerCK It's a slow, tedious, artsy fartsy clone of Super Mario Bros with soporiferous music and pretentious "IT'S ART!" style.
Yes it is a very boring overrated game.
Re: Talking Point: So, Where Does Switch Fit Into Sony And Microsoft's Next Gen Landscape?

Re: Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time Has Been Rated In Taiwan
I think it will come to switch if not at the same time as PS4 and XBX at least a few time later (which would suck tbh).
In any case, I think i'll buy it for PS4. I think Crash is more at home with PS than on Nintendo...dunno why.
