@ManInTheChair A woman.

I'm only hoping for Banjo-Kazooie. The other character that I wanted was already added back in Smash 4.

Yup, this sounds complicated. I'm not excited about it since it looks like the events in Smash 4 (terrible), but I guess some people will find this fun. Good thing they added the option to use the recomended sets so you can jump right into the matches without making you go through all of your spirits to find the best.

@Frenean You don't need to preorder, just register the game or download it before the time period is over. And yes, they'll probably sell it afterwards like Mewtwo in Smash 4.

@BladedKnight But what if @TheGhostWhoWalks also takes my answer as a yes? That would contradict your statement just like yours contradicts his. That could open a time-space rift and create two different realities, one in which I like troll baiting and another one where I actually want people to write something negative and I don't know if we are prepared to deal with a situation like that.

@TheGhostWhoWalks @BladedKnight Do I?

@NewAdvent That's a shame, but hopefully we get something.

@Frenean That's so nice of you. I don't know if I would go as far as to say that I love everybody, but I do wish they do alright. Hopefully everyone that gets the game enjoys it.

I came to read the negative comments about the game. They should start to pop out anytime now.

@Bunkerneath It is a meme character. The people that act like their "fans" are just there for the memes and, IMO, feel like they are part of something.

@MH4 And with that, your comment became a testing ground for the button. Thanks for your service, good man.

Nintendo: Waluigi was a mistake.

Pokémon has always locked Pokémon behind a paywall since there are version exclusives. Sure, you can look for a trade, but the experience in GTS isn't exactly the best (why do they even let people ask for a Darkrai if it can't be traded legally?). I'm not mad about this practice. I only hope that Pokémon 2019 fixes all the problems of Sun/Moon and doesn't carry anything over from Let's Go.

This was the first game that I properly played as a little kid. My mom even told me stories about when I was a baby and how I moved in my chair just to see my dad and my older brother play the game. I remember both never managed to get past the desert level with the Sun. I barely remember the first time I beat that level, but I do remember feeling accomplished.

This is an interesting and difficult topic for sure, but this is hardly something that should be here.

Well, I really don't care. If I can still play GSC and HGSS, I'm good.

@rjejr I hate to repeat myself, but as I said, things are just like how they are. Amiibo were sold as collectibles with some perks in compatible games. In the case of Smash, they were just customizable CPU players, and that's it. Nothing more and nothing less. You can keep on saying what they should have done, but in the end that changes nothing. I mean, you might as well go as far as to ask for the game for free without any playable character so you can scan amiibo to unlock them, just like how Skylanders and Disney Infinity worked.

@Agramonte Still, the point is that Fox is only playable on the Switch. He isn't available on any other version.

@rjejr You are viewing this from a consumer point of view. If they did that, then we could go as far to ask why they just didn't give away the characters for free if you already paid $60? It makes no sense from a business point of view. Both the amiibo and the character are completely different products, so you, as a consumer, should pay for both. There's no workaround for this.

Unlocking the characters every time through scanning the amiibo would be annoying. We saw this with Shadow Mewtwo in Pokken Tournament, but in that case, you can unlock it through normal gameplay. The amiibo card just let you use it before that. You already paid for the character when you bought the game. In Smash, when you buy an amiibo, you are not paying for the right to use the character, just for the figurine and the perks it has in compatible games. We could be here arguing back and forth about this, but at the end of the day, things are just like this.

@rjejr The problem with amiibo and dlc characters in Smash is that, if you were able to get them with the amiibo, you could share it with other people so they get the character for free. You could say that they could have locked it overwriting data on it, but we know that NFC isn't really super safe. This could lead to people to dump their amiibo data and start selling amiibo tags to unlock the characters that way (or getting the data online and do it themselves). While it is a shame it was that way, I can't think of any way to prevent this from happening.

So I guess no one is getting this physical? The deluxe edition seems like the best offer, but I really want that Arwing toy.

@Agramonte As far as I'm aware of, Fox only works on the Switch version of the game.

So what have we learned from this comment section, kids? People need to bend the meanings of some words just to try to make their point valid. After all, we just can't be wrong and apologize, right?

Now, about the game. I played it on the Wii U, but didn't finished it since I played it with my girlfriend (she controlled the white fairy-like creature). Maybe I'll play it on the Wii U again now that she can play it on the Switch.

Now, is this extra content from the ultimate edition available on the Wii U version? I can't recall anything about that.

It would be perfect to have a massive catalog of games with a subscription, alongside the ability to buy them separately if you don't want to subscribe.

@Grumblevolcano I didn't know that last bit. Thanks.

This is great. Hopefully we see more events like this before they stop doing Splatfests.

Talking about gear, I subscribed to the Nintendo Online Service, but I haven't received any codes for the gear in Splatoon 2. It was a family membership. Do I need to do something more?

Hopefully in gen 8 we see more story content related to the mythical Pokémon in form of DLC added to the games. But at the same time, I know we'll not see it since GameFreak is lazy as Snorlax and will release them as distributions exclusive to certain retailers.

@dleec8 To be fair, Gen I was kind of Broken. Nowadays you would have a hard time dealing with steel types with that setup.

Remember everyone, vote with your wallet. All the complaining doesn't matter if you buy the games at the end of the day. I'll do my part and avoid this like the plague to show Game Freak I want them to get better next time.

@shaneoh There are megas without held items. The devilish Z Crystals still can lurk into the game.

@super-nintendo Probably to save on production costs (they use the same rails on the joycons). I wouldn't be surprised if they don't work at all.

8bitdo mod kit for the nes classic controller is way better then if you already have the controller.

@justin233 Never said otherwise. Just pointed out that Nintendo isn't in charge of that decision.

@joey302 If they don't, you should start to look for better games. I don't have anything else to say about this matter.

@joey302 I was talking specifically about NES games. One would thought that NES games are the last thing that comes into mind when you are in Hawaii. Unless you are just playing those, you should have no problem finding something else to play on the Switch in case you aren't enjoying yourself over there.

@justin233 And you were also suggesting we should beg for the game in 2020. I just noted that if you want to, you must ask The Pokémon Company instead of Nintendo.

@Crono1973 You can change the date of the system. Unless each one carries a timer by itself, it would not work.

@joey302 Why would you be playing NES games in Hawaii instead of, you know, enjoying Hawaii?

@nesrocks It is just a security measure so you don't play them if your subscription ends. Netflix doesn't allow you to keep watching the shows if you cancel the subscription, even if you have been paying them for years.

As I said, you are not buying the games. If you were buying each one from the eShop and then they don't let you play them, you would be right, but this is just a bonus for the online membership. It sucks, but I can't think of another way to prevent people for cheating the system and keep them without paying.

@Waluigifan Wait until you see the special offers for the games that you already own.

@nesrocks I don't support this, but as far as I know, you are paying to play online, the rest of the features (like the NES games) are just add-ons or bonuses. You aren't really buying them.

I believe a rotation system will be implemented once they have enough games. For example, Balloon Fighter is available for six months and then they retire it for a year until in comes in a new batch of games. Knowing Nintendo, I would not put my bets on having (for $20/$35 a year) the whole NES/SNES libraries.

@justin233 First of all, people have been asking for Pokémon Snap 2 sinche the Wii U and we had nothing. Second, Nintendo doesn't develop Pokémon games. The original Snap was developed by Hal Laboratory IIRC, which I don't know if it is still around. You could ask The Pokémon Company anyway. They are in charge of whether they do it or not.

@1UP_MARIO So all the accounts are in the same Switch or each one of you have a system?

I'll wait and see. If this can be used for accounts in several Switch devices, I'm all for it, but if all the accounts must be in one Switch, no thanks.

Warner: "Hahaha, yes, it was just a mistake from our marketing team, hahaha" turns over and takes out his phone dramatically "What do you mean that the discs have already been shipped? Get them back right now! ... Where do you store them? Hmmm, ok ok, have you been in New Mexico?"

@sanderev Never heard that Nintendo did that (I've read that people had lost save from Splatoon and BotW doing this), but hope you're right.

@sanderev That's true, but it is saved in your cartridge (in case of physical). If you send to repair your Switch, you can kiss good-bye to all your progress.

@Yosher It could be. After all, save scumming was a big part of competitive Splatoon back on the Wii U. Besides, I don't know if your rank is saved in your console, which could lead to manipulation in some sort of way.

I'm relieved people here seem to understand the situation. Hopefully everything turns out ok in Japan.
