Kinda sick of the revisionist history regarding Rare. By the time Microsoft brought them they were a shadow of their former selfs, Nintendo values talent above all else and that had mostly left by then.
@helbertpina Knowing Sega they'll be asking "how much?" and even if Nintendo said they'd do it for nothing so it was the same level as the other consoles they'd still say no.
It's one of those rare rare RARE games I played as a kid, as a teen and now into adulthood I see no reason why I won't pick it up every now and then till the day I die.
@Elektrogeist1287 I mean I would question anyone who buys a Tesla with such an awful human being in charge but who am I to tell someone what to buy or not buy?
Considering after the Animal Crossing announcement, we literally sold out of our Switch Lite stock in a couple of days at my work, Yes Nintendo should still make the OG Switch for a few more years.
@Vyacheslav333 Sadly American Western tastes come first.
I mean that's slowly changing, look at completely non spoken Flow winning the best Animated film Oscar and Demon Slayer & Chainsaw Man being #1 at US box office.
But to make the most profit back it sadly makes sense.

Re: Digital Foundry Delivers A Tech Analysis Of Assassin's Creed Shadows On Switch 2
@kal_el_07241 because Digital Foundry has extreme Nintendo bias and can't be trusted for a second.

Re: Jennifer Hale Says She Was "Thrown Under The Bus" Amid Bayonetta 3 Casting Controversy
I'm kinda tempted to go back and look at some of the comments because it was really bad, even here.
Re: Reminder: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Is Available With A Switch Game Voucher
Screams of desperation for it to sell considering they are ending the tickets.
Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond - Meet The Team
Hopefully some die. I'm not kidding, it would add emotion to a pretty barren series.
Re: Feature: The Tightest, Briskest Mario & Luigi Game Turns 20 Today And Deserves More Love
I think its overrated to be completely honest.

Re: Review: Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted (Switch 2) - An Imperfect Specimen, But Still Bloomin' Good
It's one of those rare rare RARE games I played as a kid, as a teen and now into adulthood I see no reason why I won't pick it up every now and then till the day I die.
Not even the stench of EA can destroy it.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting A Copy Of Rosalina's Storybook?
Will definitely get a copy for my niece & nephew.
Re: Pokémon Unite Is Discontinuing Aeos Coins In Its December Game Update
@Jeronan It's an absolute falsehood to say they have the "controlling stake" in Pokemon.
That's utterly not true.
Re: Poll: 20 Years After Settling On DS, Do You Still Play Animal Crossing: Wild World?
New Leaf I understand but Wild World? LOL, No, that's ridiculous.
Re: PokéPark Kanto Includes A Major Area Those With Limited Mobility Can't Access
I hate to break people's bubble but sometimes everything isn't for everyone.
Re: Switch Port Specialist Panic Button Reveals It Helped Upgrade Multiple First-Party Games For Switch 2
Never a bad thing to be in Nintendo's good books.

Re: The Game Awards Nominees Announced, Donkey Kong Bananza Up For GOTY
Why are we still pretending the Game Awards are actually a meaningful award? They are more rigged and awful than the Grammy's.
Which is quite the feat.

@Nep-Nep-Freak Not to defend them but NOA isn't powerful enough to have any say, for or against over key cards.

Re: Digital Foundry Covers The "Disappointing Tech" In Pokémon Legends: Z-A
Digital Foundry? Ugh. Nevermind.
Re: Japanese Charts: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment Slashes Through The Competition
Wow. Almost 2.7 Million Switch 2 sales. Impressive.
3 million before the end of the year is not crazy.
Re: Pokémon Pokopia Reveals "Peculiar" New Forms In Extended 10-Minute Trailer
@Solid_Python More importantly Nintendo made 0% of this game. They are just the publishers.
Re: Random: Steam's Brand New Game Console Sure Looks Awfully Familiar
I mean a cube is a cube.
Re: Sega Gives Japanese Employees "Peace Of Mind" With Another Salary Raise
@Pillowpants I too still have it here in Australia as well.
I'm gonna guess we'll get words in comments like "western" when in fact they mean "American".
Re: Sony Once Again Takes A Leaf From Nintendo's Playbook In Japan
I used to love Sony back in the day.
Then they moved HQ to the USA and everything went downhill from there.
I will never buy another console from them again.
Re: Reggie Is "Surprised" We Haven't Seen More Xbox Titles On Switch 2
As a non American my god was Reggie overrated, all the fawning in this thread proves as much.
Why the USA even gets a president is beyond me, NOA has no real power.
Re: Pokémon Pokopia Is Seemingly Nintendo's First Game-Key Card Release
It's not a Nintendo made game.
Re: Pokémon To Receive Prestigious Award At The 15th Annual New York Game Awards
Congratulations Pokemon.
The celebrations are only just getting started for the anniversary, if that makes people irrationally upset, well, grow up tbh.
If you have moved on from the franchise, that's completely fine but actually move on. Ignore it and let others still engaged enjoy it.
Re: Nintendo's Black Friday Offers Include Deals On Switch 1 Games, amiibo, And More
@AllBLK Nintendo is under zero obligation to discount a game because it's old.
Re: "I Just Hope To Stay Healthy" - Shigeru Miyamoto On Taking Further Steps Away From Development
Honestly considering how fast this year seems to have gone, 2030 is really not that far into the future.
Re: Images Of Yoshi From 'The Super Mario Galaxy Movie' Have Leaked Online
@Beanbon If that's the front of the packet and they'll be arriving in stores soon, the cat was gonna be out of the bag sooner or later.

Re: Supply Of Switch Hardware Will Continue If Enough Demand Persists
Considering after the Animal Crossing announcement, we literally sold out of our Switch Lite stock in a couple of days at my work, Yes Nintendo should still make the OG Switch for a few more years.
Re: Nintendo Shares Updated Figures For Registered Accounts And Switch Online Members
NSO is in much better shape than went it started. I particularly love not having to pay for the Mario Kart & Animal Crossing DLC and the Music app.

Re: Nintendo Is Preparing For Even More Movies In The Future, Unsurprisingly
I know they really don't like the "Japanese Disney" moniker but expanding into feature films & theme parks...
Re: Talking Point: Smashing Switch 2 Numbers Prove Nintendo's Strategy Is Super Effective
This isn't Reddit, we are all sane here. We knew it would sell.
It's sad, they have no recourse for sales numbers like this so they just say Nintendo are lying about it.
Re: Resident Evil Pro Controller Is Available To Pre-Order, But Its Price Is Terrifying
I'm just gonna buy it and not open it. Might even sell it after a year. It's only gonna go up in price.
Re: UK Charts: EA Sports FC 26 Kicks Pokémon Legends Z-A Into Second Place
People who buy basically the same sports game ever year I find very weird.

Re: Talking Point: When Did 'Good Enough' Become Good Enough For Pokémon?
People at this point really need to get it though their heads that the games are just a small cog in a huge machine.
Once the games started being far less of a money maker than the TCG or the plush or anything else, down the ladder of importance they went.
