@Yasume I'm confused - what does this post have anything to do with what Nintendo's doing today? The Switch is going to be great, Nintendo has beem marketing it like crazy, unlike the Wii U. It won't fail. This is just a post about a Virtual Boy sighting in Seinfeld, nothing more.

Haven't played a Harvest Moon game in about 15 years but I've been wanting to get back into the series. Sounds like this might be a great title for re-entry. Too bad the Switch is around the corner and I'll sadly end up never getting this game, but I should try to keep it on my list.

@Aslanmagic "Not enough water"

Also, did people really use the 3DS/Wii U web browser? They are horribly slow. I'd much rather use my phone/tablet/laptop. I will not miss the Switch not having a web browser.

Certainly not a bad lineup. It's probably smart that Nintendo spaces releases out like this. Zelda, Mario, Splatoon, and Pikmin all in one year? Fantastic!

So much better than the two mismatched together. I wouldve bought a neon red Switch if it was an option but I don't like the red and blue together.

8 days to go! I cannot wait! I'm loving the UI!

Why do I have a bad feeling about this?

3. Ocarina of Time
2. Link's Awakening
1. Wind Waker

Phantom Hourglass wasn't bad but no way is it even close to the best. But hey he produces them so I guess it's a game he's proud of. Personally I found it irritating for a while and eventually came around to it.

Awesome. I for one love the small cartridge design. Perhaps a slightly bigger cartridge would've been better, but I like this way better than any optical disc. Also I have never ever lost a single game because I take care of my stuff. If that is a problem for you, then try putting a game back in its case after you're done with it or just going digital.

Anyway,I love the new cases though they seem to be tall for no reason, but they are ridiculously thin which I love. Can't wait to get the Switch and games!

I still don't like the concept of DLC in general but I'm less bothered by it than the day it was announced. I think my big issue is we have no idea what it is we're getting. Why would I want to pay $20 for something that I have no idea how good it will be? I mean it's Zelda and I trust Nintendo and the Zelda team so logically I should be okay just blindly giving them money but I mean what is the content? We have no idea. "Vague story mode. Vague map feature. Vague hard mode. Vague treasure chests". Like, give us more info then I'll buy it if it sounds good.

I'm not surprised by the length. The game seems to resemble games like Ico and The Last Guardian, both which were relatively short and fantastic games. 10 hours is fine as long as I enjoyed the game. Hell, I just finished RE7 over the weekend and thought it was short but fantastic.

10 out of 10 Koopas agree...the Switch needs more John Cena.

I always knew cartridges had a longer lifespan but I've never had a single disc or cartridge ever die on me. I won't say it will never be a problem for me in the future but I take excellent care of my games and as such I hope they all last me a very long time.

Despite NES Classics being virtually non-existent, Wii U has been out of production for like 2-3 months now. I can't remember the last time I saw on on store shelves. So any console would outsell the Wii U.

I love that people are still making games for the SNES and in actual cartridge form, but this really doesn't interest me personally. I still hope it finds its audience and does well enough.

I'll be honest - it looks really cool. They did a great mock-up. But I just don't know if I'd invest in a VR unit. I also don't think Switch has the processing power to pull it off.

@Whopper744 You must trussssst in them, man cub!

@AlphaJaguar Couldn't agree more

Zelda 2 could use a remake 😊

Yes please! I'll take a new 2D Zelda in a heartbeat! (Link's Awakening 2 please?)

This looks great, Keeping my eye on this game!

@Einherjar It doesn't ruin the initial game but adding DLC is a cheap way to make more money on a game, simple as that. Imagine restaurants start charging you for the bread a lot of places give you at the start of your meal. Some people go "yay more food!" But some content should've been included in the game itself. Specifically the summer DLC. What irks me more than anything about this is the game isn't out yet. They should've surprised people a few weeks/months after it released by announcing it.

Also how is it that the recent Animal Crossing New Leaf update was FREE? 200cc mode in Mario Kart 8 was FREE. All added maps and guns in Splatoon were FREE. What makes it okay to charge for content that should've been included in the game to begin with? Do you think Splatoon would've been as popular of all those free updates were paid DLC? Hell no!

Could've fooled me

@UmbreonsPapa Well I can't speak for everyone but personally I'd be less annoyed if they waited to announce the DLC. Of course I know gamers (and people in general) will complain about anything. There will always be those peopel who voice their discontent with whatever is announced.

@SharkAttackU I bet they did that to push the Switch onto Wii U owners' minds.

I don't like the idea but if the content's good enough maybe I can be persuaded. Two things bother me about it though. FIrst, the game is not even out yet. So now I'm going to be playing the game on March 3rd feeling I'm playing only the "vanilla" version of the game, as in incomplete. They should've waited to announce the DLC til after. Also, the descriptions for the content is WAY too ambigious. "Additional map feature"? What does that even mean?

Nintendo is slowly getting rid of the reasons why I prefer Nintendo over all other video game companies. Before they'll be just like all the others and I'll lose interest in gaming completely. I don't get why they have to ruin good things. I will probably not be getting this DLC, but all I can say is the game BETTER be complete on March 3rd. No "well here's about 75% of the game and you have to pay for the last 25% through DLC". In essence if you want the FULL full game it's $80 now. Also it's almost pointless for me to buy the DLC because I'm playing the game March 3rd no matter what. Chances are good I'll be done with the game by the time the first DLC rolls around and I won't be wanting to revisit it. It also concerns me because if this is the start of a new trend for Nintendo I'm not going to be happy.

Ultra SF 2 is getting a physical release?

I've played both the regular and 3D version so I'm good. Good game though!

When the NES Classic was first announced, I really REALLY wanted one. When it sold out initially and I couldn't get one, I still wanted one but knew I had to wait. When it's been three months since initial release and STILL no restock, I no longer want one. Good job Nintendon'tgivafudge

Looks great - a definite buy for me at some point.

Um..alright. Well I mean if it gets more people into Bomberman so be it but I don't get it.

Only David Wise could get me to buy a game based only off the soundtrack. I haven't heard even heard of this game until now but it actually looks like it could be fun!

Do people really want Tingle back?

Looks fun but I'm not sure I'll get it. Fighting games don't last me very long unless it's Smash Bros. I dunno. Maybe I'll end up getting it out of sheer lack of anything else to play. I would like to try it at least.

Hackers do what Nintendon't

"Oh the Switch looks cool,we love it! But WE'RE not gonna support it!", said nearly every 3rd party developer.

Please bring this BoxBoy amiibo and physical collection to US and Europe! Thank you!

Everything about this game looks amazing. It's very hard keeping my expectations in check.

At least Paper Mario is getting mentioned somewhere I guess. The game was way better than I thought and I wish more people would give it a chance. Really, really enjoyed it.

This actually looks really cool. I might have to keep this one on my radar.

@electrolite77 Agreed.

They just keep chasing that Wii dream. the Wii was a fluke. It should not have sold that much. The Wii U and Switch are going to suffer because of the success of the Wii. They wanted to make a Wii 2 hence why they named Wii U what they did and they thought the name alone would make it sell. Clearly not. And the Switch...if they keep focusing on 1-2-Switch minigame motion control BS the Switch will fail. Focus on the fact that you can take it anywhere. I think they're dreaming if they think they're going to hit 100 million again. The Wii's success seems to have ruined them.

If that's really what the price is then that's nothing. I'll easily fork over $25 a year.

I own the Wii U version but am also getting this version so I can take it with me. I just really love the game that much.

Good! I really, really wnt this thing to be a success. It probably won;t sell as much as the Wii but I hope it sells at least 30 million.

Zelda, Bomberman, and a pro controller for me!

@DoctorWily I was thinking that. Docking the Switch doesn't use the battery does it? If the battery dies you should be able to use it as a home console, just not as a portable.

Love em! I love that they put art inside the case behind the cartridge and potentially where a manual could go. I am really digging the packaging art for this system.

Looks fun but I might wait on this one. I'm not a big fighting game fan so I'd probably play it a lot the first day then only here and there after that.
