It's also worth noting that Thunderful merged with Bergsala, the exclusive distributor for Nintendo stuff in Scandinavia (and the only place where Nintendo doesn't have distribute themselves, or through a subsidiary.)

@riccyjay I believe what you are missing is the word next to the score that says "average". I know it's a low score, but I've seen lower, and based on the review it's hard to tell how this game could be scored any lower aside from making the Switch jump out of the dock and physically assault the writer.

How can something with "horrible graphics" that "can be moderately fun" considered "average"? Am I missing something?

I hope it sells so if only for Ubisoft to realize that not all games have to be 100+ hours

@PikaPhantom I was not aware that Bergsala was a part of Thunderful. The more you know..
It would make sense for Nintendo to cooperate with one of it's longest partnerships on an actual game.

@Not_Soos Namco did make Starfox Assault. Which definitely was a game.

Netflix only has half the Kanto episodes where I live..

@Thomystic it was more directed to the one they named "Best 'End-Of-Year Arrival That Dropped Too Late To Make Our GOTY List' 2023"
Why not just make it appear on next year's list?

@tabris95 Inafune is best known for the games that he made, not the Kickstarter mess.

I kinda wish they made you hit an attack button all the time to move, because that is what Splash would do.

@EVIL-C they literally asked him about it in a recent interview in the fall.

If a game comes out too late for this year's goty, either move the goty to the new year or make it eligible for next year...

@Anti-Matter that is certainly a take.

@GooseLoose1 The discussion around the game doesn't make it better...

@PharoneTheGnome Or, hear me out, those other games were better, and not just a by the numbers open world game. Crazy idea, I know.

And here I'm still waiting for the last few send off episodes for Ash...

@Rika_Yoshitake It's mind boggling that Nintendo doesn't realize how much more money they could make with better discoverability tools.

@SwitchForce you can't buy them individually.

I get the sentiment that people talk about TotK vs BotW. I've come to realize they are way more different than I expected. BotW is more open from the get go, and has a calm sense of exploration, whole TotK is so stuffed with things to do that you can barely go anywhere without running into someone or something. BotW was a more meditativ game for me, while TotK is non-stop puzzles and quests. It is a bit more tiresome, but also fun in a different way.

@MarioLinkSamus
The Witcher 3 was definitely not this year.

@heisnbrg Cool, you must have gotten so much out of this article then!

@panthro Do you want devs to just trash all their work and start over in a different engine?

I'm just waiting for the backlash of the gender neutral bathroom they put in.

@Darkthany If you never hit this threshold, you never had to pay to begin with. Unity Personal has been free for a while now.

@VoidofLight Not to mention every animation every creature needs, because people want to run around with them, play with them, feed them, wash them, etc.

@roboshort Not only is it run differently. NOA is primarily a localization and marketing house, and have very little involvement in the making of games in general.

@theModestMouse Oh, they very much enjoy games with sexual content, even if they legitimetely think "one hand mode" is an accessibility feature.

@Captain_Toad Me, I don't have time for such an addictive game atm.

The graphics look...noisy.

It would be nice to have an item to zero out IVs. Other than that, you can pretty much do anything else in the games.

Lol, these people can't even make a remaster without blowing up the scope.

Can't wait for the ending of the new show to be posted on Nintenolife 8 months before the episodes release in the west

Gotta hand it to Devolver and their marketing.

@Ryu_Niiyama oooor because people have Pikmin 4 and Oatchi on their brains right now.

...they put out a game. Of course their profits increased.

@dew12333 It doesn't say that it is modest. It says that it is modest compared to similar positions. There is a difference.

@dew12333
"(...)Modest For The Industry" It's right there in the title. And if you read the article too, you can even see the comparisons. I highly recommend it!

I took a look now and it seems to have little, if any at at all of that kind of stuff. But I guess a forum like that easy an easy target for brigading.

@iDidSomething No. Reviews are inherently subjective.

"Back in April of this year, UK's CMA suggested the Switch was not "technically capable" of running Call of Duty games"

That's not what they said. They said it's not capable at running with the same performance as the competitors, which by all accounts are true.

This is notably the first time they can do ALL 151 in 20 years, thanks to Kadabra finally being out of jail.

@PikaPhantom Yep. This is nothing new. If the game were to release in October, they would still be hiring. Standard game studio stuff.

The way the foam works looks like they wanted to have a "Splatoon, but slightly different" and ended up with a mechanic that literally just gets in the way of the fun.

@RetroGames ...what? Haha, you tell me I'm wrong, and then show a lot of arguments against things I never said? Though a quick glance at the comments tells me you have a weird relationship with that movie. Cheers mate.

@Arawn93 You're wrong. Only four of the remakes has beaten the 1B mark. TLM also beat Aladdin's opening numbers in the US. It's going to do just fine.

I'm waiting for the comments to complain that the musicians should work on the games' performance instead.

@BTB20 You literelly did that in a different commemt than the one replying to me.

@BTB20 ...you still didn't say where you have that information from.

@BTB20 What makes you say that this number doesn't contain digital numbers?

@Rayquaza2510 "a version of CoD that is similar to those in Xbox and PlayStation"
Reading is a thing you know.

@BaldBelper78 They will go through the deal, how it is laid out in terms of payment, revenue, and all kinds of business stuff, so that they can know if it is all optics from Microsoft's side, or if it in fact is a proper deal and that it won't be bad for consumers if Microsoft get to buy Activision. Whether or not Nintendo makes a new platform or not is likely going to be irrelevant as of that testimony.
