Re: Reminder: Reggie Fils-Aimé Retires As Nintendo Of America President Today

Dysnomia

@Joyfultoad you could t be more wrong. My son caught hi. A few times online playing Mario Kart on 3DS. My son is a beast on that game, he never comes in anywhere other than first place. Unless he is playing Reggie. The man could race better than anyone I’ve ever seen. If you ever catch him online you will see that he spends a lot of time honing his skills.

And yes d know it was him. His name was his full name and it had the special characters around it signifying he was a Nintendo employee.

Re: Reminder: Switch Enters The World Of VR Today With Nintendo Labo

@Moshugan agreed. They absolutely need sharing on the user made content. This could be the Mario Maker of vr. Without it, this is just a little peek into a world that could be soo much bigger.

When/if they allow this, or have more games (Mario Kart, Pokemon Snap, etc) supported, I will get mine.

Re: Pokémon Sword And Shield Revealed For Nintendo Switch, New Starters Shown

@BionicDodo ugh, saying that an ip needs to grow with the original kid fans 20 years ago is the same old Star Wars argument.

There are still kids in the world, and they will be playing this game for the first time. Have Mario or Zelda “grown up” too? No, they are what they are. If you’ve aged out (by aged I don’t mean your number of revolutions around the sun) then there are plenty of mature (usually meaning spending compute cycles on adding lots of blood and guts) games to be played.

Wolf in The Legend Of Zelda, both with the Wii U remake and Breath Of The Wild is the best use of Amiibo. Having hearts in one game earned in another was cool. Hoping for more features like this. Don’t recall many whiners complaining about that one like they do with so many other features they’ve tried.

@ALinkttPresent not really. Most often people don’t announce where they are going. He may not want Juntendo to know, or he may not want us to know. He may be going somewhere that will no longer be customer facing. Or he may going to work on something secretive. Or a competitor. All are reasons that it is common to not announce where one is going.

Re: Bubsy The Bobcat Brings His Next Adventure To The Nintendo Switch In 2019

@John_Deacon I know the history of the series. You can refer to reviews of the latest incarnation to see that there has been a marked improvement in quality that should dissipate any hatred (or at least let you just ignore this game) since the old days.

Here is a secret in the industry (or well, anything being sold)- enough people bought the last one to warrant more. Guess someone out there liked it.

Re: Despite The Recent Bankruptcy and Layoffs, Retailer Toys 'R' Us Might Be Making A Comeback

Hoping for the best. It is such a magical place for children and fun for adults too.

I always liked the cards and little toys of game and other characters that you just couldn’t find anywhere else.

I always thought TRU was really expensive until I started going back there with my kids, but they always had really good deals. They need to make sure to advertise their prices better than just dead newspapers.
