@Grumblevolcano I'd like to think 3rd party decelopers will start bandwagoning on Switch's early success. Hopefully, we'll see plenty of non Nintendo games next year.
I think a very important point is that this is an online shooter wich probably feels more at home when playing in the newest console. It'd be different if we got a sequel on the Wii U just 2 years after the first game.
And I'm sure Nintendo will be treating this IP nicely after all the success it's had.
@BlatantlyHeroic Uh... No. The way Game Freak originally envisioned (main series) Pokémon games work best for handhelds. I can relate to that, since I've felt all those things they were looking to achieve with friends and family.
Now, a Stadium-like spin-off wouldn't hurt either, but I can live without it.
@PlywoodStick Yeah, it's not like Pokémon GO made consoles, games and merchandise go up like a few hundred percent. It's certainly not going to happen something similar with Mario and the NX.
The quality seems a lot higher than your average mobile game, if this works out well we could see even more brand awareness. Wich can translate to healthy NX sales. Wich means more games for us
@msvt Having to keep the gamepad on and close was the only thing I didn't like about the wiimote combo. Other than that, it's a really great control scheme and you should definitely try it!
Talking about the game itself, I think it's anything but frustrating. Without a doubt, one of my favorite Wii U games.
It's funny to see all these comments claiming what the Wii U should have been. I think it's pretty clear, and Nintendo knows that (it's been here more than 125 years after all), Reggie was just PRing a bit.
While these are all roumors, I like the sound of them. A handheld like console with greater power than Wii U sounds like a good thing to me.
I bet there are other stuff that'll make the NX more than just the hybrid we've been hearing about. It's Nintendo, I'm sure they'll surprise us with something else.
"... for novice drivers, who are still struggling with obtaining stable control, training with driving rather than FPS video games is more helpful."
That sounds preeetty obvious.
Anyway, the other day my brother lent me his car and I managed to do some mid-level stuff (kind like 100cc stuff). I guess Mario Kart does really help.
@Tempestryke The problem is, it doesn't seem like Comcept did the best they could. Yeah, games are hard to make and take a lot of time, but to create something that's just better than nothing with all that money (and trust) from Inafune's fans. I find it disrespectful.

Re: Here's The Best Mario Kart Character According To Actual Science
Metal Mario + P Wing + Retro Off-Road + Cloud Glider.
My favorite combo. Very fast and slick as hell.
(For 200cc just pick Toad instead of MM)
Re: HyperX Announces Smash Bros., ARMS And Street Fighter eSports Event
@Menchi187 "all versions of Smash don't aply". Can you explain this line without sounding ignorant?

@gcunit Isn't that the top of Temple of time? I've just played like 30 hours so I might be wrong.

Re: First Impressions: Back on Track with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
People ranting about a game we still don't know everything about...
We can get new courses (I believe it'll be this way), let's just be patient, guys.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE It's a good thing.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Switch Will Support Micro SDXC Cards Up To 128GB In Capacity
@zool There's still one screen missing.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Switch Will Support Micro SDXC Cards Up To 128GB In Capacity
Considering the games won't be humongous, it seems fine to me. I guess the dock station will have its own memory expansion.
Re: King Boo in Mario Kart '8' and New Splatoon Goodness - Breaking Down the Nintendo Switch Reveal
@WilliamCalley Right... I don't think we've played the same MK games then.
Re: Rumour: NX's September Reveal Was Delayed Because Console's Mario Game "Wasn't Running Perfectly"
@rjejr Amen.
And I thought you'd love Damo's wording in this article. Just in case you've missed it.
Re: Reminder: Pokémon Sun And Moon Demo Is Available Right Now
As @Whopper744 said. Why don:t you add it's available only in Europe?

Re: The Mini Famicom is Announced for Japan, and It Looks Amazing
I still like the mini NES a bit more, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to have both. 👀

I love how Arcanine melts a wall and then it just stands there like saying "What now?"

Re: Different Time Periods, New Pokémon and Snap-style Mode Confirmed for Pokémon Sun and Moon
@headfirstslide There were some server errors some minutes ago. It must've been that. Or maybe he just went on a crazy comment spree, who knows.
Re: Different Time Periods, New Pokémon and Snap-style Mode Confirmed for Pokémon Sun and Moon
@Ninten-san Nah, it seems like the Pokémon version of... Pokémon Snap.
Anyways, I'm really liking all this new stuff. November can't come soon enough!

Re: A New Pikmin Game is Coming to 3DS
@msvt Did you play it with the wiimote + nunchuck? It's the best control scheme I've ever used in a console RTS game.
Re: Sources Indicate That the Nintendo NX Will Feature a Social 'Share' Button
The split D pad roumor seems like a desperate way of reinforcing past roumors.

Re: Pokémon GO Rolls Out in Latin America as Niantic Reclaims Legendary Pokemon
YAS! I can finally download it legally. It was about time.
Re: It's All GO in the UK Charts with Pokémon Alpha Sapphire on the Rise
And this is the kind of effect Nintendo want its mobile games to have. It isn't just about the short term profits.

But I just couldn't get the antigravity to work
Re: Junichi Masuda on the Process of Composing Music for Pokémon
I like his approach. X/Y OSTs was very good IMO, it felt like a good mix of old and new Pokémon music.

Re: Nintendo Share Value Hits Highest Point in Over 5 Years and Breaks Volume Record
I knew this was going to happen. The lesson here? Always buy Nintendo stocks while they're cheap, Nintendo really like comebacks.
Re: Activision Was Closer To Owning Rare Than You Might Think
As long as neither MS nor Activision try to buy Playtonic everything's fine.
Re: Japan Weekly: Shovel Knight Impresses Famitsu as Puzzle & Dragons X Follows in Pokemon's Footsteps

Seriously, what?
Re: Video: Bayonetta 2 Is Just Too Darn Sexy, Even For Hormone-Addled Teens
@bluedogrulez It's because she's comfortable with her sexuality. How can that be?!
Re: Video: Bayonetta 2 Is Just Too Darn Sexy, Even For Hormone-Addled Teens
Bayonetta appears naked - "STOP OVERSEXUALIZING WOMEN!"
Norman Reedus appears naked on Kojima's new game - "This is fine "
Re: Round Up: First Mighty No. 9 Reviews Suggest The Wait Hasn't Been Worth It
It seems Inafune wasn't the creative mind behind Megaman after all. You can't make a game like this with a game like Megaman 2 under your belt.
Re: E3 2016: Hideki Kamiya Has "Spent A Lot Of Time" Thinking About Bayonetta 3
"We've got other Scalebounds in our heads too"
Haha, Kamiya having a little fun.
Re: E3 2016: New Kind Of Mario Game Is Coming, Says Shigeru Miyamoto
Why people want every single franchise to go "open-world"? Nintendo can do better than that, like Galaxy.
Re: Weirdness: The Mario Party Star Rush Box Art is Actually Recycled From the Mario SpagettiOs Can
Clearly, it's just a placeholder.
