i'm ok with the Switch not having 2 screens although it had some interesting concepts on Wii U it was never fully utilised
plus i think it was one of the things putting 3rd party publishers off the Wii U because i don't think anyone really knew what to do with it
honestly i think the Switch being a system that has proper controls and with being able to play all your console games either at home or on the go should open up more markets for both Nintendo AND 3rd party developers
worldwide the 3DS has sold nearly 60 Million units
as much as they would like us to believe otherwise America isn't the centre of the world and a new handheld will be just fine because Nintendo doesn't just focus on one region
@kamikazilucas probably because of the extra work, in the U.S they only need a English translation but in the UK and Europe they also have to add French, German Spanish and more and that takes extra time
What would it have looked like well, a game that only has half the content available with the rest locked on the disc/cart and only available through overpriced micro transactions
unless you buy the £120 ultimate addition where you get fantastic extra content such as early access to a legendary creature and an alternate colour for your characters shirt
and of course lets not forget the season pass where you get extra missions and towns to visit
it would be nice but IF the NX is cartridge based not disc based it would also mean that none of our Physical games would work so we would have to hope that Nintendo released the games digitally and with some GameGube games no longer have a publisher or the rights held with multipule parties (MGS Twin Snakes for example) this could be difficult
of course if it has a disc based system there wouldn't be any problem
well i'm sure that there is a way to use ANYTHING for nefarious means but come on this is the Daily Mail, they scaremonger on EVERYTHING they can just to sell a paper
they would say air could be used to do harm if they thought it would sell
now we just need DQ1, 2 and 3 to get a 3DS release (and yes i know that they are on mobile but the touch screen controls are HORRIBLE), and RPG like Dragon Quest NEEDS to have proper button controls
on topic about what the NX version might be like, i can't imagine it being much different to the Wii U version myself, maybe slightly better looking, you know like how Twilight Princess was on Wii over GC
you know the concept of the Sonic Boom franchise was good but the execution was horrible
still Fire and Ice might be a lot better than Rise of Lyric (even though i did kinda enjoy Rise of Lyric, especially after it was patched, i think the problem was using Unreal Engine) EDIT: SORRY i meant cryengine NOT Unreal, no idea why i put that
@Piersen normally i would agree but it IS Sonic's 25th Anniversary this year, they should release something at least
@zool actually half ASKED to leave doesn't mean we will
it was a REFERENDUM that's ISN'T a like voting in a election where the result is guarantied it's basically a nationwide Poll on HOW the government should act on a particular issue
apparently now the UK has up to 2 years until they have to really chose to leave or stay and anything can happen in that time period, now the EU and the UK will negotiate the issue.
we haven't left YET, if this had been an actual vote not a referendum it would be different but as of right now nothing has actually changed and wont for years bar the small crash our stock market just had
anyway i think we should drop the subject because it is COMPLETELY off topic and we could get in trouble for it
besides we are still the same region when it comes to games, DVD's and blu-rays etc they can't change that so it shouldn't really make any difference, well the price of our games might increase as the pound changes in comparison to the other markets but that's to be expected
@Nintendian we ain't apart, it was a referendum not actual binding vote, in essence it was a county wide poll
Referendum: Noun: "a general vote by the electorate on a single political question which has been referred to them"
so even though just over half of the UK voted to leave (i voted to stay by the way) it doesn't mean the UK will actually leave just that as it stands right now they WANT to

Re: Rumour: Nintendo Switch To Start At £199.99 In United Kingdom, $329.99 In Canada
"GAME is now aware of that cost and has set its price accordingly."
well i just looked on GAME and they have it for £999.99 so i don't think they have adjusted the price yet
still if it's £199.99 then i could actually afford that day one

Re: Nintendo Confirms Switch Isn't Physically Backwards Compatible With 3DS And Wii U Software
no big issue for me as i never get rid of my old systems
also it means we will probably get ports of old Wii U titles (maybe even Wii ones too)
of course they could always release an optical disc add on at a later date if they wanted to

Re: Dragon Ball Fusions Arrives in North America This Year, Europe Shortly After
@kamikazilucas but DQ7 was published by Nintendo and this will be published by Bandai Namco and BN always do this with their games

Re: Weirdness: Shadow the Hedgehog is Rather Foul-Mouthed in Mario & Sonic at the Rio Olympics
looking at the age of the kids they would be hearing far worse at school, in the streets and on TV shows and i bet the parents wouldn't care
but of course because it's in a game they lose their minds

i wonder how this new character is related to the old Layton

Re: Shigeru Miyamoto Thinks You Should Give Star Fox Zero Another Try
@HappyMaskedGuy oh yes i agree it wasn't as good but i still found it fun
then again i also liked Star Fox Assault so who am i to judge?
Re: First Impressions: Looking Back With Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past
@Captain_Gonru or a 3 in 1 3 DS release
Re: Shigeru Miyamoto Thinks You Should Give Star Fox Zero Another Try
i liked Zero, besides it's not like Starwing or Lylat Wars were huge long games either
Re: First Impressions: Looking Back With Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past
now we just need DQ1, 2 and 3 to get a 3DS release (and yes i know that they are on mobile but the touch screen controls are HORRIBLE), and RPG like Dragon Quest NEEDS to have proper button controls
Re: FAQ: The GamePad Screen is, Tellingly, Largely Redundant in Breath of the Wild's Demo
so it could mean that the NX will not be using a controller with a game pad
not surprising really after all Nintendo has had a different controller for EVERY Home console
Re: Nintendo NX Has A Core Idea Which Doesn't Just "Follow Advancements In Technology", Claims Miyamoto
so in other words " we are not saying anything about the NX just yet in case someone steals our ideas and releases their version before us"

Re: Video: Take a Look at the Hyrule Warriors Legends Link's Awakening DLC, Due On 30th June

why should we have to buy the game AGAIN and on a different system just to get access to all the content?
