@jco83 I'm saying literally made in Scotland. The boys were in NYC when 3 was made if I recall correctly. All the same I'm pretty sure the main reason they weren't featured on the stamps is the violent nature of the games rather than where they were produced
@KitsuneNight Rockstar wasnt into it or the Government decided it would be a good idea not to associate with Rockstar based on the violent nature of most of their games.
Either those things or that only the original 2 GTA games were made in Scotland. Not bad games but arent exactly classics on the level of GTA3 and onward.
If the 5th Smash character is a Pokemon I would probably guess Rillaboom because there are no stand alone Grass Starter pokemon. Should've been Decidueye
If it's not a Pokemon I would say Doomguy would be my frontrunner. DOOM was a huge part of video game history and Nintendo seems to have a very positive relationship with the current DOOM team.
@DockEllisD just massively popular and free and a bunch of people just got their first switch so they are gonna load up on anything free and see what this whole "Fortnite" thing is about. Makes sense Fortnite is definitely the most popular FTP game on any game system.
@Kaori-chan it either doesnt count or just not enough people have Switch online for it to make a dent. I remember seeing the NES games on the list way back when though. I think the fact that any founding switch owners downloaded tetris99 ages ago so it wouldn't make a dent
@First_Amendment assuming they think I'm pompous for saying I listen to audiobooks rather than music or maybe they like the music in rocket league and considered my take harsh. I would like to know why but it doesnt bother me
@First_Amendment Ahh I thought it was just spotify like the hulu or youtube apps. I sorta get that I remember playing my own music in GTA on the original Xbox. I listen to audiobooks while I play games and rarely play with game sound unless it's an RPG where the narrative actually matters. I cant imagine playing rocket league listening to that horrible in game music. I guess the spotify thing just isnt something I want but I understand your point.
Tetris 2 was a colossal failure. So many games you could've put on the list over Tetris 2. Alligator Pinball, Pokemon Pinball, Pokemon Crystal, Pokemon Gold/Silver. The original Tetris is the only one that belongs on this list.
When this list first came out it gave me nostalgic feelings for GB Donkey Kong. So I immediately bought a copy and a Super Gameboy(Tetris and Pokemon Pinball as well) because I have a SNES but no Gameboy anymore. Also the obvious that Super Gameboy is the best way to play GB Donkey Kong
My brother got 200 dollars in amazon gift cards and asked if he should buy a Switch lite. I told him to spend the extra 100 for the regular Switch. Glad he called me
@thesilverbrick I think the Switch Lite, LM3, Holiday season, and Pokemon are huge contributing factors to that. Switch is just suited to a way broader audience
My nostalgic pick is the Mudkip line
My favorite design is the Piplup line
My favorite to use is the Froakie line
Least favorite would be the Oshawott line
My nostalgic pick is the Bulbasaur line My favorite design is the Turtwig line My favorite to use is the Rowlet line Least favorite would be the Chespin line
@The7thHokage1995 I see where you're coming from but I think a far more unrepresented demographic would be black or brown characters of which there are almost none.
I was simply stating that 26 is far from almost no representation.
My nostalgic pick is the Charmander line
My favorite design is the Cyndaquil line
My favorite to use is the Fennekin line
Least favorite would be the Tepig line
It'll be interesting to see what they come up with for Ox, Horse, Snake and Sheep fire starters.
@liljmoore ok fair enough. I dont care about Mai but I just thought it was a bit hypocritical. Now that you explained your side of things I can understand where your coming from.
@The7thHokage1995 almost no female representation? There are 26 female options if you count alternate costumes. Not equal but definitely not almost no representation.
@liljmoore while she doesn't have the thong thing going on Bayonetta is a very sexualized character by design. If you searched for Bayonetta in a image search you are likely to stumble upon some Rule34 type photos very quickly.
@Crono1973 I guess it's not important to some people. I play a lot of couch co-op so I can honestly say I will never buy one. However I understand if you bought one for your kid or just arent into multiplayer games.

@Monkeido sorry must've glossed over that paragraph. Ya still pretty useless unless you have a very small child that can comprehend video ganes
Re: Hardware Review: Live Your Life As A Giant With The Tiny 8BitDo Zero 2 Controller
Pretty damn useless. You can play tetris and NES and SNES games, awesome.

Re: Pokémon Sword Is The Most Popular Version In Japan
@Mr_Persona Fairy/Steel is a ridiculous type combo. It could look like a trash can and I would like it
Re: Pokémon Sword Is The Most Popular Version In Japan
Kinda surprising but in retrospect I regret going Shield because Zacian is way better than Zamazenta competitively
Re: Feature: Why You'll Never Get To Play Your Favourite Retro Game On Switch
Kinda weird to use Goldeneye as the thumbnail. It makes a lot of sense why that never gets re-released

Re: Feature: Best Pokémon Games Of All Time
I disagree with this list on a very major level. Let's Go should be at the bottom among other things.
Re: Feature: The Best Three Pokémon Starters From All Gens, As Voted By You
I find it super strange that Turtwig didn't make the top 3. Torterra was #21 in the Japanese pokemon poll.

Re: Fed Up Of Your Switch Not Having A Proper D-Pad? This Case Should Do The Trick
