Cannot wait for the special edition to come this Friday. Been really excited about this game since the very first trailer was revealed in the Direct earlier this year!
@blackbox64 Guarantee almost all of those who have been complaining about Sword and Shield (excluding anyone jumping on the hate bandwagon whom had no intention of purchasing regardless) will still buy the game.
I am hoping that the first three games are all remastered and released on the Switch while they work on whatever the next installment in the franchise is.
If this series were being being produced as a fan project then there's a chance it would be allowed to continue. However, I am rather unsure how well the legal department at SEGA will take the idea of their IP being used for profits which is how Patreon will be looked at.
@Franklin Only if you managed to download the games before the online store was shut down.
There must be a lot of people whom still use a Wii like grannies and care homes etc that more than make up for the continued support. Though the dev kit at Ubisoft must be held together with tape by now.
Yes the specs in the phone maybe better than the Switch. Yes playing Fortnite on the phone may provide a better experience than on the Switch. But how many games actually come close to offering anything the Switch can offer or even remotely make use of all this supposed superior tech?
I very much doubt we will ever get anything Call of Duty related on the Switch, not even a spinoff game created for the hardware - something even the Vita managed to get, even if it was crap.
However I guess we will find out later today when the new Call of Duty is revealed.
@Grumblevolcano You bought both versions? I am considering getting the game, but if I do it will be on Xbox or PS4. Though probably Xbox as I have the X. Though I have been splurging a lot of money so may have to wait.
@Matroska That's why I was asking as the website for GB Studio states that it's designed for JRPGs whereas this article talks about making your own Link's Awakening. They are different types of games.
I'm still scratching my head as to what form A Link to the Past will take, and I would be curious to know how Nintendo would go about revealing it when they already have a game coming this year.
I haven't watched Angry Video Game Nerd in a long while, so I am curious to ask if he is still as relevant as he once was, especially the way YouTube has changed and evolved with so many gaming channels springing up?
Mr Wilson, one of the most overpaid CEO in the US, will still keep his job and his salleries with bonuses but those who are actually creating and delivering the goods based on his poor decisions will lose their jobs? Yep, sounds about right.
And as for wanting to be the greatest games company in the world, they may have some real difficult competition from the likes of Nintendo and Sony, and then there’s all them indie developers etc.
@sleepinglion I know the first game used film sound effects and I assumed the second used largely the same. But I agree it’ll likely end up being Mega Drive ports of those 2 games unless they can change the sound effects to something less illegal for the arcade versions.
@sleepinglion Well there’s no way you’re going to get ports of the Star Wars titles. Golden Axe seems likely at some point. I think it’ll depend on what original source code Sega still has for its games.
@CupidStunt As awesome an idea as that sounds, Nintendo very rarely buy into studios. They are too conservative with their money in that sense and it seems they feel it better used developing games in house or through partnerships.
The lack of sales for this game on the Xbox One kinda tells you where their player base is at in terms of the games they like to play. It's the same reason they struggle to get anything other than major triple A Japanese developed games. But as for Switch achieving almost half of all sales, well it's not too surprising really.

As a fan of snooker, on TV and the early Codemaster releases I kinda want to buy this game. I’m just not totally sure.

@TheRealKyleHyde "Three Pikachu's on a shirt" just doesn't seem to have the same ring to it though

@aznable Got to get them clicks. Especially on a Saturday when there’s little news to report.
Re: Random: KISS' Gene Simmons Has Something To Say About New Pokémon, Obstagoon
@AJWolfTill It's the fact KISS aren't British that confused me about this too. It seems like a big coincidence to me.

@Deadlyblack I thought that was part of the "Todd Howard Game Pass"?

@RupeeClock No, Bethesda updated them to whisper about microtransactions and loot boxes

Don’t worry, Nintendo will remove the course before long and ban him from all future uploads, just because...

Re: Mario Maker 2 Isn't The Only Platform Game Creator Coming To Switch In June
They need to just shelve it for a year and then try selling it. At least then it may have a snowball's chance of selling on the Switch.
Re: Feature: The Black Shark 2 Is A Phone That Thinks It's A Nintendo Switch
Yes the specs in the phone maybe better than the Switch. Yes playing Fortnite on the phone may provide a better experience than on the Switch. But how many games actually come close to offering anything the Switch can offer or even remotely make use of all this supposed superior tech?

Has this console been properly revealed yet? Do we know anything about the thing other than these 3 collections?

Re: Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp And Fire Emblem Heroes Are Being Shut Down In Belgium
@Anti-Matter You realise that a lot of games on consoles and handhelds have these same type of mechanics right?
Re: Site News: So, Where’s Our Team Sonic Racing Review?
Something tells me the Switch version needs to be avoided judging by how Sega didn’t give one of the biggest Nintendo sites a review code.
Re: You Can Now Make Your Own Game Boy JRPGs With GB Studio
@BulbasaurusRex Is it possible to produce those kinds of games in RPG Maker?

Re: You Can Now Make Your Own Game Boy JRPGs With GB Studio
I will be so down for this if you can produce Link’s Awakening type JRPGs and not the turn based games like Final Fantasy etc.

@nkarafo It’s going to be all about that games as a service
Re: Wonder Boy Returns Remix Arrives Later This Month On The Japanese eShop
This looks like some kind of early 2000s Flash game, or a mobile title, not something that is coming to consoles in 2019.

Re: Random: The Karate Kid’s Son Upgrades To Switch In Cobra Kai Season 2
Wonder how much Nintendo pay to have their Switch featured in this programme? What ever it is, I hope it's worth it - didn't seem to do much for Sony

Re: Nostalgia Alert! James Pond Codename: Robocod Slips Onto Nintendo Switch eShop
I noticed the game has had all Penguin related images removed, for obvious licensing reasons. But I bought it as soon as I saw it available yesterday.
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st March (Europe)
Why is ToeJam and Earl listed as new release when it was out several weeks ago?
Re: Video: Want To See 5 Minutes Of Cuphead Running On Switch? Of Course You Do
@Bunkerneath No there are proper platforming levels too. It's just for some reason this play though is focused on bosses.
