Sweet, another swordfighter. Just what I always wanted. Thanks Nintendo.

But can it run overused "But can it run ____" memes?

Imagine trying to claim a company who owns the IP as "ripping off" a fan game that ripped off an IP in the first place. The amount of butthurt.
News flash: Illegally stealing someone's IP means you give up all forms of ownership to the project. Next time, don't use actual copyrighted characters so your idea doesn't get claimed or shut down, idiots.

Though on that note, I'm pretty sure that Nintendo had the original idea to begin with. People just like to whine for clout.

Good. Hacking your own system is fine. Trying to make a profit off of pirating, that's a big no-no. Burn it all down.

Day one purchase. Good job Nintendo.
That was a hell of a reveal (and a tease - especially for Mario Sunshine the past year or so).

Shoutout to kids like this who told me Super Mario Sunshine won't be on the Switch.

I had a feeling this game would be more of the same stuff people didn't ask for. I'm glad I didn't spend any money on it.

Nintendo should do paper mario fans a favor and just get rid of Tanabe. It's obvious how out of touch they actually are with the franchise.

Cross save was a HUGELY smart move on their part. Well done. I remember playing this and Mad Games Tycoon for hundreds of hours. Hopefully more games ported from PC / other platforms allow this feature.

Heh heh. Funny cuz balls.

Not interested... Wake me up when there is news about a new Mother game.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
The Switch is Region Free,
And this game should be too.

@Giancarlothomaz That can be said for most games released in that era. But I'm sure its no problem. They've done it before.

Ocarina of time remasters, the "New play control" series of gamecube games like Twilight Princess and Pikmin / Pikmin 2, etc. For the Wii and so forth have been games that Nintendo had to recreate to become more modern and accessible.

The first change would be how FLUDD would work, since obviously the Switch controllers are digital. What I would do (and Nintendo if you're listen please do), would be to release the game with adjustments adapted to a digital pad, but also release a sunshine themed Gamecube controller and dongle as well which can revert it back to the analog controls.

That way, new players who want to just play the game can, and old-heads like me who like the satisfaction of the analog controls have that option as well. Allowing players to switch between which controls they prefer. Win win.

Obviously if I were them I wouldn't stop there, and do that with every gamecube game that requires such controls, but that's just how I would tackle it.

Please for the love of god let this be Mario Sunshine.

The little children whining in the comment section aside, I do appreciate seeing an exec from a competing company be willing to talk on a Nintendo show.

At the end of the day, what matters most is games, irrespective of platform. I'll definitely be getting a Series X to accompany my Switch, but would still like to see what he has to say. I assume there will be talks about Gamepass and asking if they'll see it on Nintendo's consoles.

Excited to see what they discuss. Nintendo and Microsoft building their relationship together is a huge win for the rest of us.

The amount of Nintendo apologists on this site always baffles me.

They made a shoddy controller that was unreliable and people feel taken advantage of for it. That's a totally justified feeling to have, especially if you paid money the product. Even more justified if you are still under warranty.

You bought the product, you should expect it to work properly, no questions.

I love Nintendo, but what's fair is fair. They can't escape this lawsuit. I think for them this is a lesson in quality control. I guarantee you that the next joycons they make will be a lot more durable and reliable from this experience... Hopefully.

Preach. So happy with the direction this game has gone. The only small gripe I have is that I wish that dialogue of the villagers was a bit more fleshed out and dynamic, and that I wished they added things like morning routines and hide and seek like in the older games, but those are just minor nitpicks. Great job Nintendo.

15/15 "OmG JuSt So EaSy... ToO eAsY mAkE hArDeR pLeAsE. SoOoOoO EaSy!"

Yeah no, I'm not going to lie, I missed one, dark samus, because I thought it was regular samus.

This scuffed bootleg Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild clone doesn't stand a chance.

Great job Nintendo. And good riddance. The less gaming is aimed at mobile the better. Everyone wins.

@NintendoPok Good for you. I'll wait for the inevitable price drop.

Maybe not the entirety of the game, but hell... At least for the Pokemon models. They have a helluva more life than those stiff plastic toys they call "Pokemon" in SWSH

I'm glad I waited until reviews for this DLC. So far it looks like it wasn't worth the purchase. I'll wait for the inevitable price drop.

As an animal crossing veteran, I'd never thought I'd see the day where it's used as a platform to advertise actual brands.

@CdrJameson I would agree. Though I also think the same can be applied regarding new users. Not everything that can be changed, for example, should. So having a balance between the two is probably the best course of action.

@CdrJameson I like change, when its healthy change. Emphasis on "healthy". Allow me to clarify:

Exploiting a game through unconventional means wherein it causes the company to have to step in and patch it out (such as those dupe glitch exploits), games that have exploits that cause grief for others (ganging up on people in smash as an example), sending glitched, hacked, and fake pokemon to random people online and at times causing their games to lock up, etc. isn't changes in behavior that I view as healthy, and im glad such methods are getting weeded out and fixed in my Nintendo games. Other methods that don't try to break the game or aren't technically affecting other people / isn't seen as problematic by Nintendo is fine by me.

It's funny to me to see all the new people complain about villagers leaving randomly, when this type of thing has existed since the series was first created. It would be like someone complaining on why you have to choose one of three starters in a Pokemon game. That's just how it is. For me, I don't time skip all that much so I have nothing to worry about in terms of villagers leaving all the time. If I want a villager to stay I always have enough time to keep them. One of the perks of playing at your own pace 😊

Who would ever have thought?!
Famous people like video games just like everyone else!

Good on Nintendo. And good riddance. Well... At least until the inevitable next time some figures out another exploit.

Tune in next time on: What Animal Crossing Exploit will Nintendo patch next!?

Nice job on the sculpture! Personally though I'm a Judy fan. Raymond looks to be wayyyyyy overrated.

To be honest, the bar isn't really set that high to begin with, considering how the other online services are already way ahead of it. All I want is the virtual console to make a return... Some GameCube games would be nice too. Kind of tired of hearing them saying this and not delivering to be honest.

I own sword and shield, and have owned gold and yellow in my childhood days. It's amazing seeing just how great the gen 1-2 games sold even compared to today. Though I'd wonder how much more Pokemon SWSH would've sold had they listened to their community, included all the Pokemon day one, and used trees that didn't look like it was from legend of Zelda ocarina of time.

I don't know why, maybe it's because I've been habituated with the look and feel for Pokemon for so long, but to me, this game just doesn't look good at all.

Okay, now this exploit is just cute.

@Wexter I see where you're coming from. I'm also glad you brought up Pokemon as well because that's a great example. I hold the same stance. Exploits are fine, but frowned upon. Like if someone used glitches an exploits go get all their rare shiny Pokemon or rate furniture and items, awesome, but they lose lots of respect in my book when they then try to act as if they've worked hard and played the game fairly to achieve it. I could also be projecting there as well, as I've been in many a community where people pranced about thinking their gods, so to speak, when they've simply cheated their way into wanting to be seen as an "experienced player". That's just my personal peeve there though. People who get their items, furniture, villagers, Pokemon, etc using more... White-hat methods always get a bit more respect from me, but that could be my old-fashioned way of gaming speaking.

Also we agree on the ebay thing with a special exception. I'm completely against micros and find it kind of scummy. Once you get actual money involved in the mix and start charging people, it becomes a slippery slope down sleeze-ball lane. The one exception I will give though is for those who are again, buying it for themselves, instead of reselling it back to the community.

Like, if there's a villager you really want but is extremely rare, don't have any villagers anyone wants to trade for them, and you don't want to spend an eternity in RNG hell to find them, and you're not planning on reselling it for a marked-up price, I'm okay with the "black market sale" in that case, as it's strictly for your own personal use. I guess the same applies with Pokemon there. If they are being traded to someone else, I think it is at least out of respect of that person to let them know it's origins / how said item was obtained, just to be transparent / if they have any questions about it.

Overall though I think we both agree in how exploits should be used / when it's a problem, so it's nice to see some common ground there. ☺️

@Wexter Buying items from others online, visiting said people's towns, the cost of said items being traded online, etc. all are impacted by the dupe glitch. I like to trade items with others online, and I'd prefer them traded and obtained fairly. Period. Repeating the "how does this affect you?" Question because you don't like the answer doesn't change that.

Simply put, If you like to cheat in your games for yourself and your own enjoyment, you do that. Don't cheat to try and exploit others who've worked to collect said items / want to visit a town for fun / trade items without cheating. It isn't about "supply". If you can generate items using a glitch, which becomes way more profitable than playing as intended, it encourages others to play that way as well. This indirectly affects how people play this game, and don't be surprised if said glitch is patched out. You assume that risk, and obviously Nintendo sees that as not playing the game as intended.

Also: Having villagers join your town is completely different from a glitch / bug that Nintendo is actively patching out. Obviously they intend for said villagers to be sold or invited over, otherwise the option to invite to another town wouldn't exist. That was intentionally coded into the game, unlike the dupe glitch, which is an actual bug. I fail to see the connection between the two.

Long story short, dupe all you want, but don't suddenly get butthurt when Nintendo removes a glitch that was never supposed to be in the game to begin with. Just as you have the right to use said exploits, they have the right to take that exploit away from you.

@Wexter I've already given examples as to how. Here it is again in case you've missed it:

For example, someone could use the dupe glitch to make infinite rare items, sell them online, and charge others extremely cheap priced to completely tank the market. Or, they could then charge extreme prices just for access to their town. It's not a problem in theory, but this kind of behavior was never really the point of Animal Crossing, nor intended to be played in that way if that makes sense.

I'm surprised there was nothing about dropping the bass. "I caught a Sea Bass! This is one Bass I can't drop!" Or something like that.

@Stouticus In summary, the problem isn't the dupe glitch if you're using it for yourself. The problem arises when people use the exploit to take advantage of others.

@Stouticus You're right, but the issue comes when it also involves others. For example, someone could use the dupe glitch to make infinite rare items, sell them online, and charge others extremely cheap priced to completely tank the market. Or, they could then charge extreme prices just for access to their town. It's not a problem in theory, but this kind of behavior was never really the point of Animal Crossing, or intended to be played in that way if that makes sense.

I like the tenacity these exploit finders have in finding these dupes, but I hope Nintendo patches these exploits sooner rather than later. This hacking kind of ruins the experience for the rest of us.

Congrats to the kids able to figure this out, but that seems like way too much work for my taste. I'll just play the game as intended.

I'm stoked that this is a thing, but I'm going to be honest. The majority of these look pretty terrible.

Yikes. I hope Cooking Mama wins the case, what a mess. Had a copy of this game lying around somewhere. I guess I'll leave it in the packaging.

It looks fantastic, but after seeing so many of these already, I'm personally starting to wonder if more can be done with these pieces than just "Look at this Sprite art that came from that one game you remember!"

Nothing wrong with recreations of course, but it would be nice to see more people do something fresh and new with more of the custom DIY / terraforming tools rather than just a huge flat town with some ripped Sprite art thrown on top of it. That one town I saw where someone made an actually liveable city is kind of what I mean.

But to each their own. Just thought I'd share my nitpicks on something I'd never be able to do, great work all around regardless.

Cool move indeed. Still not a fan of his overall design.

I dislike baby Pokemon, so sadly I'll be missing this one. Maybe if they were shiny or had a higher shine rate I'd consider, but not for some plain colored Pokemon. So far Animal Crossing has been my go to and Pokemon just doesn't give me much of a reason to go back to it.

I'm still enjoying my Animal Crossing game. Don't care about the charts, plus didn't ask.

@mesome713 Agreed. No idea what Sony was thinking with this design... Looks like the copied homework of a white Xbox controller with a dual shock shoved in.

Pretty sure three little lines can be used for more than a reference to the goose game. Must be slow news today.

Twintelle for me. Is this even a question? She's the best.
