This is definitely a good thing considering it shows Blizzard is interested in the Switch and probably has seen the successes Bethesda has had on the Switch over the past months.
Hopefully this could mean Overwatch in the future, but I’m getting the feeling that ship has perhaps sailed.
From the sounds of it, this certain player is very nitpicky, and I don’t personally see a big deal in a small frame drop. Even during the rare occasion when it would go down a lot I don’t know if it is really worth losing your mind over due to the lag being very brief.
I honestly don't know if I should bite the bullet and get this game or not. I LOVE the visuals, and the combat seems fun, but the fact that it is a roguelike is worrying to me as I am not super fond of them from what I have played of them. Still, it looks amazing.
I know a lot of people are hoping for Gen 8 to be similar to BotW, but to be realistic with how Game Freak has acted in the past, that isn’t likely at all. Pokemon Gen 8 is going to be larger than the 3DS games, similar to how XY’s Kalos was advertised as a gigantic region, except it won’t be anything ground breaking, and neither will the gameplay for that matter.
Similar to how the DS and 3DS generations worked out, I believe Gen 9 is going to be more akin to BotW, although not as much as many of you may hope.
I've made like 10 stability jokes at least over the past year Nintendo, how am I supposed to keep coming up with them when you guys keep stabilizing the 3DS to tiers that have broken through the heavens of stability
I kind of understand what they are trying to get at, but they do seem to be ignoring the fact that there has been no major release on the Switch in a while that interests potential consumers. Yes, Octopath is a big game, but that is for a relatively niche audience and your average consumer wouldn’t buy a Switch for Octopath.
I do believe sales are going to explode this holiday season, with the powerhouses of Pokemon Let’s Go and Smash Ultimate coming out less than a month apart, and on top of it there are several evergreen titles like Breath of the Wild and Odyssey on the system as well for new people to justify their purchases.
Everything is perfectly fine, no need to be alarmed.
Even though I like the free updates for MK8 Deluxe, if we got paid DLC Nintendo could pump out better quality additions to the game as opposed to Labo compatibility and a different skin for Link, obvious choices would probably be a Star Fox and F Zero pack
For once one of these companies is trying to be more proactive with their merchandise and product deals. Fortnite will eventually die down in popularity, and they may as well get as much profit as they can while it is still popular.
I'm sick of all these live action adaptations of animated shows and video games, they almost always turn into absolute abominations, with the rare case of it being alright, but not great either.
In terms of this Metal Gear movie, I think it may have a rare chance of actually being good to some degree, but we'll see.
But I don't trust anyone with a live action Metroid movie, just no.
I am REALLY hoping this turns out to be an awesome movie, and the fact that they reference the exact same title as the first pokemon movie makes me think that this could be a sequel, or at least remake of some sort of it.
@patbacknitro18 Ah yes, I forgot about the online co-op, still though, many of us just want a larger variety, and hopefully this online co-op feature doesn't hinder it, but then again, if I remember correctly The Legend of Zelda is one of the apparent games to support it so we'll see
Nintendo is going to need more than just NES and SNES I feel at launch for people to feel like their money was well spent
Also, I don't understand why we have a small selection of games at launch, Nintendo should be able to easily get these working on the Switch. Perhaps they are going to do some sort of awkward rotation of games where, say, one month you can get Super Mario Bros, and the next you can get Balloon Fight?
This sounds interesting, I noticed the TVs had a new countdown on them in-game so I guess this is what it was for.
@XenoShaun As far as I'm concerned, this is the first time they are doing a live event like this where something happens at a specific time for everyone in-game, it wouldn't hurt to check it out if you get a little bit of fun out of the game and have time to spare.
@JJ286 I completely agree, Let's Go is definitely going to be an insane powerhouse for Nintendo and Game Freak.
@YANDMAN If that is really the case, alright then. I just am fascinated by the fact that this many people actually are somewhat interested with Let's Go, and on top of it the connectivity between Let's Go and Go.
@JJ286 @YANDMAN Even if that is the case, it seems weird that they would reach levels of people playing that have been the closest to launch levels since, well, launch.
It honestly seems kind of odd that the number of players started to peak again that month, especially considering nothing too noteworthy to the average former player happened in May.
It has been over 12 years since Mother 3 came out on the GBA in Japan. I don't think it would kill Nintendo to re-release it through the Virtual Console, or the Nintendo Online service, but the fact that a game this in demand has yet to have been translated and ported to the West is ridiculous.
Man, I think I have Living Disorder, a disorder where I keep living, World Health Organization, get on that.
In all seriousness though, I think they are being too vauge with their classification of gaming disorder, some people could reach close or similar levels of gaming time as this very small addicted minority because that is there favorite or only entertainment option, while other people could enjoy doing a variety of things like reading, watching TV, checking social medias etc.
@KappaBeta I’m stoked that we’re getting a Kill la Kill game, but I’d definetly agree that a Darling in the Franxx game would be awesome, I love that show so much.
I have no idea why some people still seem to be denying this being a new game. It is clearly not a port, and even if some assets are reused, that doesn’t make it a port. So by the denyer’s logic, Wii U is just a Brawl port with some extra stuff and some things removed, and Melee is just a N64 port with some things added and removed. C’mon guys, give me a break.
It’s odd you know, many of us went into this E3 incredibly excited for Smash, yet we got that and some other things like a more proper Mario Party and a brand new awesome looking FE game. And still, it felt like not enough was done for some reason.
Even though is hasn't been said clearly yet, I'm hoping we get a re-release of the controllers, most likely in the style shown in the image of the article.

Re: Praise The Sun! Dark Souls: Remastered On Switch Has A Confirmed Release Date
October is my favorite Summer month too
Jokes aside, at least the game is finally coming, October, November, and December are going to be crazy.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 11th)
Man, I am really looking foward to playing Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu/Eevee on my Switch this weekend

Re: Random: Shovel Knight "Coming Soon" To Competitive Brawler Rivals Of Aether
I remember watching the livestream yesterday when he got revealed for Rivals, the crowd went absolutely crazy there.
Although no Car from Rocket League unfortunately for Rivals.
Re: Nintendo Confirms Switch Online Service Will Launch In Second Half Of September
“A growing library of NES titles”, this better not mean that Nintendo only intends to feature NES support.
Re: A Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Limited Edition Is On The Way With GameCube Controller Included
This isn't really a limited edition at all, and I have been purposely waiting to preorder Smash for a special edition of sorts to pop up.
Hopefully NA gets something with actual special bonuses rather than a bundle.
Re: CoroCoro Confirms That Mega Evolutions Will Return In Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu And Eevee
@GamePerson19 It's been previously confirmed that only Gen 1 pokemon will be transferrable.
I don't think we'll be getting new Megas (even though I really want new Megas), but I am glad they are giving more attention to the feature again now.
Re: PowerA Stocking Officially-Licensed Chrome Edition Pro Controllers
There is something about these controllers that seems oddly cheap to me.

Re: My Hero One’s Justice Adds All For One As Playable Villain And Special 'EX Plus Ultra' Moves
I am so excited for this game and can't wait! I still think it is odd that they decided to exclude "Academia" from the title though.

Dang, that Lego recreation is incredible. Mad props to the creator of it for somehow managing to make such a detailed model.
Re: Pokémon RPG Release Date Has Changed From "Second Half" Of 2019 To "Late 2019"
I know a lot of people are hoping for Gen 8 to be similar to BotW, but to be realistic with how Game Freak has acted in the past, that isn’t likely at all. Pokemon Gen 8 is going to be larger than the 3DS games, similar to how XY’s Kalos was advertised as a gigantic region, except it won’t be anything ground breaking, and neither will the gameplay for that matter.

Re: Daemon X Machina Avoids Photorealistic Visuals In Favour Of Colourful Anime Art
I'm very intrigued by this game, it just looks so unique and out of place (but not necessarily in a bad way).
The only thing they need to do now to have me sold is for it to have a good story, that's how Xenoblade got me, hopefully Daemon can do the same.
Re: Talking Point: Should Nintendo Keep Releasing DLC For Mario Kart 8 Deluxe?
@N64SNESU I am perfectly aware of that, I did say I would prefer paid DLC in my original comment as well.
Re: Talking Point: Should Nintendo Keep Releasing DLC For Mario Kart 8 Deluxe?

Re: Sony "Looking At A Lot Of The Possibilities" When It Comes To Fortnite Cross-Play Support
Sony can go and be in their own little happy corner as much as they want, but they shouldn't be locking accounts to the PS4.

Re: Nintendo Confirms Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Is A "Brand New Game", Not A Wii U Port
I have no idea why some people still seem to be denying this being a new game. It is clearly not a port, and even if some assets are reused, that doesn’t make it a port. So by the denyer’s logic, Wii U is just a Brawl port with some extra stuff and some things removed, and Melee is just a N64 port with some things added and removed. C’mon guys, give me a break.

I doubt the Ultimate one is final, but Let's Go's probably are, which look how they should honestly
Re: Feature: The Big Nintendo Summary From E3 2018 - Day One

Re: GameCube Controllers Will Be Compatible With Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
@roadrunner343 I'd agree, but they'd have to maintain the exact same feel of the current GCN controllers though in the process, which could be tricky
Re: GameCube Controllers Will Be Compatible With Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Even though is hasn't been said clearly yet, I'm hoping we get a re-release of the controllers, most likely in the style shown in the image of the article.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Is Unveiled For Switch, Every Previous Character Returns
