According to the article, he's still working for the station. Why not just fire him and be done with it? Even if he had a contract, I'm pretty sure this is enough to terminate it.

Didn't this die already? Then again, make a few extra bucks with minimum effort is a very Blizzard thing to do.

Apes and monkeys are far more fun to the Brits compared to the other new releases. Tales of Graces didn't stand a chance because anime women are disgusting to them, and Dynasty Warriors is just Dynasty Warriors nomatter what new coat of paint you put on.

Jeez, Jamboree. Give someone else a turn.

Now, with the official reveal of Switch 2. I want to see how much an effect it will have on hardware sales after Jan 16.

The hoodie and the long-sleeve are a bit too much, but everything else would be cool to have.

Now, if only they sold specialty banana peels that can flip over military-grade vehicles.

I will not be responsible for my actions if I see a seabass...

Why Tropical Freeze has higher scores is irrelevant to Returns' re-release.

But if you really must know; it was the timing of the original Tropical Freeze's release. It was not the right game at the right time for the WiiU, during a period when Nintendo fans desperately needed a game-changer only to get a game too similar to the previous one.

With the Wii U dead and gone, and the gloomy cloud gone from Nintendo hopefuls. It was then welcomed for what it is, an overall great game that is an improvement from the previous game.

That's the reason why nearly every Wii U port for the Switch was generally more welcomed.

The key difference is that Returns is/still is available on two best-selling consoles and sold incredibly well. This new one has virtually nothing new aside from graphics, with some effects missing.

Tropical Freeze was on a failed console with a smaller installer base. Though it was a port on the Switch, included a unique feature completely lacking from the original, and giving the game a second chance to be experienced by a far larger audience.

It's. Exactly. The. Same. Game. For. $60.

They should add cartoony crashing sound effects when someone trips, fart sounds every time the ball is hit and replace audience cheers with wild animal noises.

Yeah, everyone kinda knew that already. Especially for Square-Enix, when all their triple A titles sold less than expected because of the PS5 exclusivity.

Imagine if Sonic lived in a fantastical setting that Hollywood discarded just to have the excuse to not spend money to create that world and just film in real world locations.

Like that live-action He-man movie, where it was cheaper to create a portal to New York instead of re-creating Eternia.

If true. Well, now...

Look who suddenly became eligible for Smash Bros.

What's the big deal? The system will obviously come with a dock.

Besides, it's probably the same reason why Nintendo added the little nub on 3DS cartridges. To prevent people from accidentally or forcing things that are not supposed to go together.

Nickelodeon All-Star was not at all what I expected to see, but then again, wasn't the game like 70%-90% off during the entire year.

I prefer to spend the days leading up to the New Year, quietly. Some Animal Crossing New Horizons, Stardew Valley and Dave the Diver is right up my alley.

Another clean sweep for Switch with Jamboree having ginormous numbers, and the Switch version of DQ 3-HD looking like it could reach one million in a month or two. Great month for both titles.

I love it when complete strangers enter my home, break all my pots, read my books and open the chest that contain my emergency supplies.
I love it so much that I tell them my personal thoughts, the rumors around town and the secret weakness of the vampire overlord next door. But first, I ask them to retrieve moster parts that only have a ten percent chance to obtain when defeating a monster.

I half expected that Nintendo would put him in a glass container and have him displayed at the Nintendo museum.

Wow, Jamboree nearly reaching 100K is impressive. Once again Switch takes the board with mostly evergreen titles, but I am slightly surprised that a Pokemon title has rarely broken into the top 10 as of late.

Give him the time he needs. It's difficult to program with fluffy paws.

No. That doesn't make any sense.

They should've used Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez.

Wow. It could very well be a response to Kamiya's exit. Though he's had several questionable decision makings in recent years, he is without-a-doubt a leading creative force behind many projects that garnered him many loyal friends and admirers. If so, that could be the very reason that many had also decided to leave.

Platinum will clearly be a very different company after this.

Didn't the Wii North American box art mistakenly had an ign watermark on it?

Jeez. Jamboree is really staying put at the top, but I'm glad that DQ 3 HD-2D is still coming in strong. Too bad for Fantasian, just too new and unfamiliar to most to make a large impact.

I also had to look up HoneHoneZaurus X Chogattai! Build & Battle. Looks pretty fun for a kid's game, reminds me of Fossil Fighters, but with plastic toys.

@KidSparta Oh, god. Having the Kremlings return would make so many happy. 🥲

They should've just done Funky mode and let Funky Kong be playable. I'd buy it just for that.

Heck, yeah! This got spread around the FGC a while back and got a lot of people interested. Already looks good, hoping it'll feel good to play too.

So far: I see inspirations from He-man, TMNT, Mazinger, Street Sharks and maybe Inhumanoids.

Wow. Technical performance is solid.

Definitely will be a purchase for the holidays.

But it's Nintendo's IP and they payed for the entire development. I know Retro is soley responsible for bringing Metroid into 3D, but telling Nintendo to "go away" just because they want minor adjustments in design to their character, would be a bad idea with potentially even worse consequences.

Preparing for Switch 2.

There! Mystery solved. Send my check in the mail.

Conker would be a FAR better option.

About half would be in Japan alone. Still good numbers considering it's a remake and costs way way less to make unlike VII Rebirth.

I kinda get it though. Nintendo has little know-how on rpgs, and the series has been in a decline with sales.

Though, plenty of ideas can still be made if given to a studio who has the talent and the creativity.

I'm so worried for this remaster. Why'd it take so long?

Knowing Konami, I would not be surprised if it came out that they lost the source code and used the long period of time to rebuild all the lost parts.

Why...? The game's really... eugh...

No need to look further, Nintendo.

ALL users below this comment are guilty! I have photoshopped evidence, names of their second cousin twice removed, and their feet size as proof of their unspeakable badness.

I mean, even now and with all of Square-Enix's effort to make Dragon Quest a global brand in the last few years. It's still not quite a popular enough a brand in the west compared to other jrpg series'. My take is that the UK market still sees the series as a niche.

Yes, the famous scene where Sephiroth plans to activate a powerful UFO laser on area 51, but Aerith flies her fighter jet armed with a missile into the UFO's main weapon, sacrificing herself to give Cloud the chance to upload the computer virus into the UFO mothership.

This game will never have the chance to win game of the year, all because it came out the same year as Super Mario Bros. 2, baby! It's a mastahpiece!

incoherent rambling

With the physical release of Marvel vs Capcom fighting collection. I'll be practicing with it for a while.

@Champalimo Direktor Gould und Stadtrat Sivlerr, and their lapdog Schnitzel (Suicune).

Inb4 someone positions them to do THAT salute.

I hope the update got rid of all the bugs in the game.

🤤

I wouldn't say "desperate".

All I did was forge ID's, make phonecalls pretending to be family members, threw rocks to set off car alarms and disguised myself as the Pope in the hope my divine position will get me some juicey news...

Eugh! I'll pass.

He's coming... I know he's coming to say it...

@-wc- I just said they're all in the same universe, I'm just being vague cause I can't guarantee that X will be connected to the others.

@fR0z3nS0u1
Xenogears belong to Square-Enix though. While Xenosaga is Bandai Namco's. Monolithsoft just wanted their own original game to have a Xeno title too.
