Nintendo should just quit the mobile market, in my opinion. I hate Pokémon GO, and none of the other mobile Nintendo games interest me. I really don't want Nintendo to turn into a money-grubber company.
Why are people not allowed to enjoy 18+ rated games? Just because it's hyper-violent doesn't mean that it's not enjoyable for people who don't have a problem with gore. In this case, even though I dislike Sony and 18+ games, I still think they are more interesting to hear about than interactive cardboard (yeah, I said it).
(Also, I heard Anti-Matter has mild Asperger's syndrome. I also apparently have that, and I don't think it really has anything to do with his dislike for violent games.)
I don't think third-party problems are Nintendo's fault. Besides, if the rule was changed to "This warranty will not apply if the damage is caused by products not sold or licensed by Nintendo", how would they tell what the damage was caused by?
Most of this hate is misdirected, in my opinion. SciresM is not the scum here, it’s the people who make emulators and upload the ROMs. I think it’s OK to for example rip music from games and listen to it as long as you already own the game.
Gosh, is there one person on this entire website that wasn't fooled by the media and doesn't シット on PewDiePie? I for one enjoy some of his videos. If you just don't enjoy his videos, that's OK, but it feels like almost nobody here has their own opinion. The jew joke he did was not OK in my opinion, but he apologized for it, unlike the group of edgelords on the internet who make these jokes every day and think they are too cool to really apologize. Like Logan Paul, now that guy should be banned from YouTube forever.
"allowed by Nintendo of America" Nah, I don't know about that... This definitely sounds like a scam to me. Especially when the team is from Italy, and they say that they're going to release the game on all current Nintendo consoles. Even the DS? Sheesh...
Nice to see a response video to that. Sure, video games have too much violence nowadays, but saying that's the cause of shootings is just stupid, in my opinion. I could agree about games like Mortal Kombat, though.
"It Really Should Be" Yeah, no thanks. It looks a bit lacklustre to me, and Link should be his own character, just like Samus, in my opinion. I would rather have preferred Zelda to have her own story campaign in Breath of the Wild. Now that would have been interesting.
People are offended and worried about children when an image with non-sexual nudity is shown in an article, even if it's censored, but nobody bats an eye when a violent and creepy horror game ad is shown on the site for a pretty long time. That's Nintendo Life for you.
I’m currently playing Luigi’s Balloon World so I can get enough coins to unlock all of the outfits in Super Mario Odyssey. I didn’t think it looked fun at all when I saw it in the Direct, but I’m happy to say I was wrong, I’m having a blast with it.
I like the News channel. Reading about tidbits, sales and new game releases is enjoyable to me, but it would be nice if the system could filter out news about games you’re not interested in.
Speaking of the OS, I really wish they would add music to the eShop, it feels so lifeless right now in my opinion.
Art censorship? Really, Nintendo Life? That’s just wrong in my opinion, especially considering the rather bloody and uncensored Layers of Fear ad that was on this site before. Naked statues even appear uncensored in Animal Crossing (which was developed by Nintendo themselves and got a 3 and an Everyone age rating by PEGI and ESRB).
About the pre-order thing, I kind of understand why that is a problem since many current game platforms (including PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Steam) have that option.
@andykara2003 "Of course this type behavior is not always going to indicate a connection with autism." That may be obvious to us, but not to some other people on the internet. "But I can tell you that I probably know a lot more than you about this, having lived with my autistic daughter for the past 16 years. I have done a huge amount of fundraising and research on this - and we are taking part in a number of leading genetic studies on the subject." I do have autism myself, so I also know quite a bit about it. "As I mentioned, the autistic spectrum is very wide." Yes, hence I think that people shouldn't generalize about it. "This kind of obsessive behaviour is certainly an indicator that may possibly be on it - but if you read my comment properly, you would see that I did not definitively say that she was autistic, but that she may well be, or under a similar recognised spectrum that encompases unusual behaviour like this." I read your comment properly, and when I said "people", I didn't really mean you, just the lot who stereotype autism. When we are talking about things like this, please read comments carefully before posting inane replies. Again, I always read comments very carefully before expressing my opinion. Keep in mind that I'm not trying to offend you and your daughter, and if I do, I apologize.
Gosh, wanting to marry a game console doesn't have anything to do with autism. It's really sad how people always slap "autistic" on everything nowadays without even knowing much about the diagnosis.
I don't think the new Pokémon games are worse than the older ones; on the contrary, Sun & Moon is my favourite game in the series and I didn't really think the Game Boy games were that fun. I don't like the Exp. Share and I'm not so fond of the Z-Moves, but otherwise, I've really enjoyed the recent outings.
I'll probably buy Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney. I was thinking about buying River City: Rival Showdown, but changed my mind when I saw the trailer. The music is very repetitive and the levels seem pretty bland, in my opinion.
I was pretty active on Miiverse for a long time, but stopped using it because I grew tired of the strict mods and the attention-seeking kids. The idea of Miiverse was great, though, and some of the drawings were absolutely fantastic.
It doesn't matter if the synths you use for a game are unrealistic, as long as they convey a special atmosphere. The original mostly used the Kawai XS-1 synthesizer for the instruments, but this "enhancement" seems to use something like Kontakt Factory Library instead, which ruins the atmosphere of the original, IMO.
I don't want one, and I wouldn't be able to buy one anyway even if I wanted one. I would have tried to find one if Nintendo had removed the ridiculous censorship.
And now he's freaking apologized for it because he's afraid of the シットstorm, as if that will make him get away with it. What about the other things he said? It's not like there's anything bad about them or anything.
"Personally, I think it killed Iwata; that he couldn't move the organisation into a really successful arena."
Seriously? Did you really have to bring Iwata-sama's death into this? What an arsehole...
