If anyone is not interested in this game, just move along.

I don't care for Barbie games and wouldn't waste my time wondering "who will buy these games?".

Apple cult members across the planet: (TRIGGERING INTENSIFIES)

Its not wise to anger the church of Steve Jobs....

@Timppis Pfff! 😪

Go back to Gamefaqs with your weak as hell replies, kid. Meanwhile, welcome to my "mediocre users" list. Enjoy!

@AlwaysGreener Got any receipts on that?

You can't say VC (an IP from the new millennium) was NOT inspired in any way by a PIONEERING TACTICAL RPG series from the early 90's.

C'mon, son.

@PlywoodStick Why would it be a problem for a tactical RPG game that came AFTER other well known (in the dev conmunity) Tactic RPG's to be inspired by them?

Does anyone seriously questions if all the mascot kart games (Sonic/Crash Bandicoot) were inspired by Mario Kart? They were. And they sometimes improved that formula.

Being inspired by previous works is not a rare thing at all. Why such disbelief?

@Mintendo Yeah, the Switch is what I always wanted the Vita (and of course, the 3DS to be like).

Just powerful enough to run popular games. I mean Revelations 2 runs like @$$ on Vita.

@ThanosReXXX Yep. That advert you included clearly says Segata Sanchiro's name as follows: "Seh-gah-tah". Not 'Say-Gah-Tah'. Thus why SEGA is pronounced as SEH-GAH by the Japanese while Westerners will say it completely different.

A compilation of Segata Sanchiro adverts.

@Ryu_Niiyama Because of my backlog I decided to become a handheld gamer since 2013.

I have no excuses not to play games anymore. As an adult, that is. With how time becomes more and more hard to come by.

@Agramonte The 3DS you mean.

The Vita got the Senran Kagura spin offs. While the 3DS got the real ones with story & canon.

@Timppis Like this: LOL

Victory?... sheeesh. Talk about celebrating mediocrity.

@ThanosReXXX "how the company itself pronounces the name should be leading, and as such, it is Say-Gah. No if's, and's or but's about it."

SEGA of Japan pronounces it SEH-GAH on all their adverts. SEGA developers also say SEH-GAH in interviews.

SEGA of America/Europe people pronounces it as an English person would. Thay is, as only they can say the name. Thus why they say "say-gah"

I rather go with how SEGA of Japan say it.

@Timppis Cool story, bro.

@Timppis "I still disagree that it is "blatantly inspired"..."

I was obviously mocking your statement that Code Name STEAM was "blatantly" inspired by VC. Which is a ridiculous statement considering Intelligent Systems are pioneers of the genre & VC was very likely inspired by those games that came first.

@PlywoodStick I think even you find it VERY hard to believe that a dev team that made a tactical rpg game in the new millennium, was not inspired in any way by the most influencial series in the genre. To call that possibility a rumor is silly. If you played the 1st VC game you can clearly see the influence.

But apparently that possibility seems insulting for fans of VC for some odd reason.

@Timppis No. I never said VC is exactly the same as Advance Wars or Fire Emblem. I said they were inspired by said games.

Which they are.

@ThanosReXXX The Japanese pronounce SEGA as seh-gah which is similar to how they pronounce Segata Sanshiro's name (seh-gah-tah).

Of course, Westerners pronounce it as either Sey-gah or See-gah in either the games or in adverts. But me personally? I'm pronouncing SEGA as the Japanese do: SEH-GAH

BTW, This whole issue of how to pronounce SEGA is quite a similar thing to how the English pronounce Mario (they say it like this: Marry-o instead of Mah-rio as someone that speaks Italian or Spanish would say it). And just like with SEGA, the Brits will claim that the game themselves say "Marry-o" and not Mah-rio. But again, that's because English speakers in the games and adverts are trying to say Mario the only way they can. But ask an Italian or Spanish speaking person to say Mario and it sounds like this: Mah-rio.

@NImH "Nintendo​​​ blatantly mimicked this title with Codename S.T.E.A.M. (which really is good in its own right.)"

You are aware that Valkyria Chronicles (2008) was blatantly inspired by what Intelligent Systems did with both Advanced Wars (2001) & Fire Emblem (1990), right?

Life goals.

If I ever own a similar room, I rather it be full of coin-up arcade machines.

I loooved the days of going to an arcade joint after school. And playing multiplayer games with mah buddies.

But owning all the consoles doesn't seem like something I'll ever want... unless it is to use it as an argument in a console war thread ("I own all consoles, so you can't call me a fanboy! Ha-haaaah!)

@ninty-love The dev said they're working on it.

But that 3D comparison was grade A horse manure.

After playing on Switch and going back to 3DS, the difference is huge in terms of difference of resolutions. No comparison at all.

@Sinton what the hell... you haven't finished Street Fighter IV 3D edition yet?

Well, I shouldn't judge. I beat Fire Emblem Awakening in late 2015. After buying it on day one back in 2013.

@meleebrawler Because a crying Mario is hard to find. The chubby plumber is always cheerful.

This is the only one I found... he's a baby so that barely counts

Oh well. Proof that nifty visuals a game do not make.

Anyway, this made me perk up a bit:

"Bayonetta. Twinrova. Gruntilda Winkybunion. There have been some truly terrific witches on Nintendo consoles over the years..."

Didn't even mention the best witch...

I'm getting triggered!!!!

Supa Mario Odyssey deserved it MOAR!

I demand a recount!

@Kalmaro So never.

@crackafreeze

@OorWullie I read that as "Double Dribble"

Now that was a classic NES game

@NEStalgia About wherever the Switch is a tablet or not...

@rjejr Yeah, Nintendo if America was adamant that the Switch is NOT a handheld and that it should be seen as a HOME console. But they're doing that because in America, home consoles are king. While handhelds are seen as archaic relics that are no longer relevant thanks to mobile phones.

In Japan, almost the opposite happens. It's mostly a handheld there.

@hcfwesker The 2DS is hilariously overpriced at amazon.

You can get it for $79.99 at most retailers. And that is indeed the normal price.

Of course Nintendo is making more. The SNES mini is actually beating the next-gen twins PS4/X1 in sales.

A no brainer.

@rjejr You want them to lose their minds for real?

Call the Switch a HANDHELD.

@arpaktiko

Nah, that is perfectly normal...

.... in Japan

Happy Birthday SupaStar Shiggy!

Altered Beasts was the Fantavision of the Genesis/Mega Drive.

Like that PS2 game, it was quickly replaced by much, much better games. And yet somehow, people still talk about it years after the fact.

@SomeWriter13 I imagine that it all happened as in that scene from 2001... all the students surrounded that remarkable artifact as they literally went ape...

I'm not interested in homebrew but kudos to those that do.

I just don't think its worth it living each single day with gbatemp on my browser 27/7. Having to keep up with the latest fix that will prevent me from owning a glorified brick. F-that.

Not interested, but I won't move a finger to try and stop those who are into this sort of thing. I'm good with Switch al naturale.

@ninty-love

But it's not even close to 3DS' resolution. To say something like that makes your comment trollish. I mean, seriously.

@Prizm Nah, it's gonna rock your world.

@JHDK

You mean his twin brother Danny DeVito.

@KryptoKrunch "Hahahaha! Look at all of those armchair analysts. Not surprising, I have all of those people on ignore."

^^^ But how can you be looking at them if you have 'em on ignore, breh? 🤡

@Ervex_109 Aaaah, shut up.

What a pretentious fool.

@ninty-love

3DS awful? As in 400x240 resolution?

Get out of town.

Like seriously, pack up your bags and hit the bricks on a one way ticket to Hyperbole City.

@mateq "If Nintendo wasn't so proud and could swallow the loss..."

^^^ Now you made the most ridiculous statement in the history of humanity.

LOL 😂 You would fail big time as head of the company. Keep dreaming. Companies are in it for the money. They're not charities. C'mon son!

@JamesR That too.

Its like the guy in charge of Capcom wants to follow Konami into the land of irrelevance*

*To be fair, even Konami had something for Switch (Bomberman) and it continues to support that launch game to this day.

@Rayquaza2510 It's amazing to me that Bethesda & Rockstar, two companies that had traditionally stayed away from Nintendo platforms, had more faith in the Switch than freakin' Capcom. A company that avoided going belly-up thanks to all the money they made on the 3DS over an entire generation.

They're not even going to localize MonHun XX for the West.

I hope the dev listens to the feedback and improves their offerings

Meanwhile at Capcom's Nintendo Switch Game & Development department...

@Swaz "The performance is just awful and the resolution and graphics look like you're playing on a 3DS"

^^^^^

Why are people surprised?

The US is Nintendoland*

*(but with an active Miiverse)

@Krull "More American than apple pie"

Which is true.

@justin233 They said this on Twitter:

"Hey Dani! We will surely have future updates for the Switch. Stay tuned as we always announce when there is an upcoming update for any platform. Thanks!"

That was in response to the resolution issue.
