Nintendo Life selling Sony BS PS2 numbers, like they were real. For me, the Switch has already surpassed the PS2, back in the day, when they finished production of that console, the official number was 150 million. In two years time, the Switch will be over 160 million units sold.
Star Fox Zero is a fantastic game! If you couldn't get used to the controllers, that only took until you reach the last part of the first level, then, you're too white to dance, dude.
I'm choosing the Japanese cover, just because it actually showcases two of the playable characters in the game. I had this game on GameCube, and this was one of the games you bought just for the cover alone.
@Ultimapunch they are, that's why they're eager to bring more and more games to Switch, and now Switch 2. Since Gamepass doesn't sustain itself, they need other sources of income.
Are those really magnets? It seems like the controllers now connect to the console through a "catridge" slot. You even press a button now to detach the new Joy-Cons.
Looks awesome! Nintendo is using the old design of DK now. It seems they posted a calendar of DK, has the classic design of the character. Seeing him like this, brings a smile to my face!
Tencent's boicot on Ubisoft paid off, and since Ubisoft is filled with activists now instead of developers, this is what will happen, it's going to be teared apart.
@Kazman2007 Nintendo would tell you, that those games are available with their super cheap subscription, and your saves with those games, would carry over to future consoles
@Mirastrix hahahahah you're so right, and people think that dude has "insiders", he just uses common sense to do his "leaks". Laughable that people give leverage to that kind of people.
Kimishima said it, during the Switch's first year, when no one paid for subscriptions, that they were planning to make the system for retro games to be like a "rental first, own later if you want to" kinda thing. The idea was to put a selection of free games, that you were going to be able to play for a month, and then, in the case that you wanted to keep them, you were going to be able to buy those games, and then, other games would become available like that each month. I don't know why is that taken as a "rumor", when it was actual news 8 years ago. And, remember, the only way you were going to gain access to those classic games, was going to be if you first paid for the Switch Online subscription. The NSO apps we got at the end, are ten times better than that idea, since we actually got a wide range of selected games for multiple platforms, and we only have to pay a very low subscription price per year, to gain access to them. NIntendo changed how they deliver their legacy content, because it didn't work on the Wii U, and the Virtual Console was one of the console's key features, but people back then complained about having to pay for Super Mario Bros 3 for the nth time. With NSO, you don't have to do that anymore, since your progress in the game, will be carried over for use, in the next console as well.
@canaryfarmer they got those from that dumb "leak" from September, that was based on a factless "leak" that was made in 2019. They literally don't have nothing, even the YouTube channels that reported on this crap, are deleting the videos haahahaha.
Not mentioning DOOM, which was the original "impossible port" for Switch, and Ultra Street Fighter II, as the proof that third party games could sell, and sell very well on the system, is blasphemy.
@BriskSunrise well, I just read it, and dude is entitled to have his own opinion, you know. And, a lot of those "conspiracy" he spoked about, ended up being true. And, he was basically speaking against the activists that have plagued the industry during those years, and are direclty responsible for the biggest failures of last year's new releases. The only thing, he said out of line, was with "piracy not being theft". He can go ahead and say that, because he's a billionaire now, and doesn't have to work again for a day of his life anymore.
No More Heroes III, will complete some side quests, to eventually start New Game +. I'm amazed how good this game is. The best one of the series, and, one of the best games on the Switch
My kids loved Sonic 3, they think it's the best one, and they watched the other two repeatidly. I thought it was really funny, and very family friendly. With how it ends, I thought they wanted to write Carrey off, but he does sell and makes these movies enjoyable for adults, he needs to keep milking them, for as long as he can.
I got the Switch version as soon as it launched, and took me a year to complete the game. It's not that I got stuck, but, it's a very dense game, meant to be played, like you're watching a series. You need to digest what you played, then, continue with the adventure. One of the best games in the Switch, for sure. I enjoyed every minute of it.
@FirstEmperor there were still a lot of people that owned a PS2, without knowing it could play games hahaha. The Switch will by far, surpass those fake Sony numbers.
@NintenGuy nope, in January 2013, when they announced that they were ending production on the PS2, the reported sales number was 150 million, not 155, as it was later said. Those 10 million other units, they came up of someone's behind.
@Reztobi Sony has not announced anything, it has been rumored they're working on a new handled, but it's just that, a rumor. Phil Spencer has said that, Microsoft is already testing prototypes of a portable console, but that they're not ready to make it official yet.
@Rpg-lover hahahahahaha, how on Earth, can glorified PCs turned into tablets, affect the successor of the Switch in any manner? Have any of those affected the Switch already?

Re: PlatinumGames Wipes Several Games From Its Website's Portfolio
@MJF That Wario Ware boss was based on Star Fox from the Super Nintendo, ACTUALLY hehehe. Still, the best remake is Zero.

Re: Nintendo's Average Salary Crowned The Second-Highest In Western Japan Last Year
