They should focus on more important things instead, like trying to pump out great games for the Switch at a moderate pace. Most of the indie games on eShop lately have been average or worse. What's so important about releasing a buttload of games with the Unity engine anyway?
An interactive cardboard toy in April, a port of a Wii U game in May, a tennis game on June 22, a party game on October 5, a casual Pokémon spin-off on November 16 and a new Smash on December 7 is not really a robust lineup, in my opinion.
@DanteSolablood Sorry for generalizing. I'm not talking about players like you, I'm talking about the Go players that never have heard about or played the "real" Pokémon games. Most of the people I've talked with only associate Pokémon with Pokémon Go and Pokémon trading cards, and when I tell them about the Nintendo games, they don't know anything about them.
A new and original Mario & Luigi game would be awesome, but they’re already working on the remake, so we probably won’t see it until 2020 or later. The part about smartphones and PlayStation 4 worries me a tad bit... AlphaDream have always limited themselves to Nintendo consoles, so maybe they’re thinking about making a new franchise? I hope they won’t make a new F2P game...
I’m traveling to France this week, so I’m mostly going to finish the side quests in Breath of the Wild that I haven’t completed (yes, I know I’m late) and also play some Splatoon 2 if the internet connection works there.
Ghosts in a forest... That sounds a bit disturbing to me. Anyway, it’s interesting that it’s being developed by an Indonesian studio. You usually don’t see games from that country.
I’ve never been that interested in shmup games. They’re fun to play with friends, but they eventually get boring after a while, so I’ll give this one a pass.
@Donald_M A problem is that most mobile games have limited gameplay because they’re on mobile, and aren’t designed with consoles in mind. I also personally don’t like that mobile games are being ported to the Switch and don’t want to support that. It’s supposed to be a serious console that is able to compete with the other big platforms in the game industry. I’ve never heard of a mobile game being ported to the PS4 or Xbox One, but the Switch still gets a lot of them.
I don’t care for that dark and minimalist art style that is in a lot of indie games nowadays. I prefer games with more detailed and vibrant graphics, like Guacamelee and Undertale. Besides, the gameplay doesn’t look very interesting anyway, in my opinion.
I think they should pump out some more games and focus on the Switch before thinking about a 3DS successor. It was just released last year, and there are still some franchises that haven't got a game on it (Metroid for example).
This won’t work for portable systems, since you’ll need to have internet to stream a game. The Switch for example is meant to be played ”anytime, anywhere with anyone”, but there’s not internet anywhere. What if you’re playing in a forest? Or outside a restaurant? Or even in an airplane? It’s not possible.
Isn't it "Poké-Run" instead? That sounds like it would make more sense. Either way, it might be some kind of accessory related to the next Pokémon game.
"We'll talk more about this later on. We know that customers love our old games, and we're proud of having rereleased them, but let us think about it."
In other words, ”We know about the ʃɪtstorm, but we need to choose the option that makes us the most money, and we hope that we’ll find more ways to get even more cash. Everybody will forget about this soon, and our fanbase is so big and loyal, so it will all work out, haha!”
Wow, now I'm hearing about football here too... I remember when I went to the store a few days ago and the whole staff was wearing Swedish football uniforms. Then I watched the news and the only thing they reported about was football (there's a lot more examples).
If Japan also had the E3 2018 sale, I can definitely understand why. I bought the game during that sale, and I've had a lot of fun with it, but I haven't got the DLC yet.

It's always nice to see Masako Nozawa in the voice cast.

Re: Video: Here's How Super Mario 64 Looks Running At 60fps In Widescreen HD
I've already played Super Mario 64 so many times on the Wii Virtual Console, Nintendo DS and 64, so I wouldn't buy a release of it on the Switch.

Re: My Hero One's Justice Arrives In The West On 26th October
I love anime, but the trailer made this seem like another generic anime fighting game to me. I probably won’t be getting this.

Re: Pull On Your Best Scrubs Because It Looks Like Surgeon Simulator Is Switch Bound
This game is too gross for me.
Re: Poll: Is Your Nintendo Switch Cracking Under The Pressure?
I can't see any cracks on mine, only some small scratches on the screen. Dunno why so many people are having this problem.

Re: Review: Miles & Kilo (Switch eShop)
I was thinking about buying this until I heard that it was a port of a mobile game. Otherwise, it looks really good.

Re: A Free Demo Of WarioWare Gold Is Available To Download Right Now
It feels weird hearing Wario speak full sentences.

It’s probably just Wii U ports and third-party games.
Re: Random: Nintendo Switch Is Getting Its Own VR-Style Headset, But There's A Catch
This thing is useless, none of the Switch games I have would work with VR.

Re: Nintendo Is Considering A Successor To The 3DS According To Its New President
Nintendo, I thought you just said that the 3DS wasn't going to be discontinued anytime soon?

Re: Ubisoft CEO Believes Future Of Games Industry Is Streaming, With Potential To Reach 5 Billion Players In Ten Years
If you believe this guy, playing video games will be a pretty tedious process in the future.
Re: Rumour: Jim Carrey In Negotiations To Play Dr. Robotnik In Upcoming Sonic Movie
It probably won’t work... It will be interesting to see what a stinker this movie will become.
Re: Rumour: Was Monster Games Working On A Sequel To Diddy Kong Racing?
I don't see a post in the Resetera thread that says they were previously working on it? There's no screenshot either.

Re: Nintendo, Creatures And Game Freak Apply For Mysterious New Pokémon Trademarks
Isn't it "Poké-Run" instead? That sounds like it would make more sense. Either way, it might be some kind of accessory related to the next Pokémon game.
Re: New Trademarks Suggest Nintendo Has GameCube On The Brain
It's probably just related to the GameCube controllers, in my opinion.
Re: ToeJam & Earl: Back In The Groove Now Aiming For Fall Release After Initial Delay
