I'm surprised there isn't more enthusiasm, relatively, for Sports. It's been a long time coming. Definitely my favorite announcement, with Chrono Cross a close second.
$25 for all of those tracks is actually really good. I think it's because tens of millions of people own the game and a ton of them will buy the DLC, so it's to their advantage to price it low.
@Zverik thanks. I actually found and read it already. Very interesting read. I'm most excited about the findings concerning the expansion pack this time.
I'm very excited to see what the data shows for the expansion pack. How many people subscribe, if HHD was a contributing factor, if they think it's worth the price, how much would they pay if it were cheaper, what games they would need to convince them, etc.
Yep, play it all the time. Just played through every 2D Metroid and Other M, and Pikmin 3. And was very much enjoying Nintendoland the other day. And I have a balance board. So I'm super excited about this.
Edit: actually I'm in NA. Apparently there isn't a way to fake a PAL login?
There's only ONE thing I want from Splatoon 3: the option to turn off motion aiming on the X axis. In Splatoon 1, motion controls would aim on the Y axis alone (up and down). You'd pan the recticule left and right with the analog stick. In Splatoon 2, motion controls aim both axes. Please correct me if I'm wrong. The controls in Splatoon 1 were perfect and is one of the many reasons the game is so brilliant. Motion aiming in Splatoon 2 is comparatively unplayable. This is all I want. This one option.
I attended this E3! As soon as the doors opened, every single person literally ran to Nintendo's both. The queue time was at least 3 hours. I played Wii Sports Tennis, which to this day was amazing. I also saw Will Wright show off Spore in a tiny room with like 10 other people.
This is just like when DLC was already on the disc of some game that released 10 to 15 years ago. I cannot remember the game though. It upset a lot of people then.
@ALazyUsername128 exactly. They're track record for adding games is abysmal. At BEST, I'd expect four released in a batch every quarter. More realistically, one a quarter.
@RealDoctorWho42 I agree with you if your point is regarding whether or not they respect their customers. But they're great at business decisions with the objective of increased revenue and stock value. They're a very smart capitalist organization. They invest exactly as much money as needed into a game to sell they're target number of copies. Like Mario Golf: Super Rush. It could be better, but an extra 10% or 20% investment would not net an equivalent return. Same with whatever the new Mario Party is called. It's essentially a port, but it has only 5 stages. Why? Because another 5 stages wouldn't sell more copies, and also they might sell more stages as DLC, which WILL be effective because they know they're audience is willing to pay more.

@Eel Thank you I'm going to think about it.
Re: Feature: 31 Best DSiWare Games You Should Get Before They're Gone Forever
@Eel I'm trying to find Petit Computer on my 3DS eshop. I'm seeing only SmileBASIC, which I guess is a sequel? Is it basically the same thing?
Re: The First Review For Triangle Strategy Is Now In
Lol great tagline (is that what you call it?) I don't know how y'all come up with this stuff. You should apply to Hard Times.
Re: There Are Some Tempting Deals On The 3DS eShop Right Now
@Bobb great game
Re: Feature: 31 Best DSiWare Games You Should Get Before They're Gone Forever
Seems like there are lots of Castle Conqueror games. Are they all different? Is Heroes 2 better than Heroes 1?

@Ryu_Niiyama I am haha thanks!
Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Is Finally Getting DLC

Re: Wii Sports Is Reborn As 'Nintendo Switch Sports'
@betterman Island Flyover is still one of the most enjoyable memories I have of playing games.

Re: The 'State Of Switch' Survey For 2022 Is Live And Wants Your Opinions
@Ryu_Niiyama oh it was just a bad joke lol

Can you add the link to last year's survey results?

That was fun. I enjoyed it.

@tylerryan79 oh dope thank you. I don't read Twitter threads.
Re: The Wii U Is Getting A New eShop Game In 2022, Will Include Balance Board Support
Yep, play it all the time. Just played through every 2D Metroid and Other M, and Pikmin 3. And was very much enjoying Nintendoland the other day. And I have a balance board. So I'm super excited about this.

@Longondo "switch" to steam deck. Actually that should be their marketing line.

Re: Japan's Top 100 Console Games Of All Time Revealed, According To A Nationwide TV Network Poll
Scrolling down, I thought this was the weirdest freaking list. But then Splatoon 2 is fifth. So this list is killer in my book.

Re: Random: Pokémon Diamond And Pearl Streamer Plays For 17 Days Non-Stop, Catches Almost 150 Shinies
@RupeeClock no kidding. I feel I should have known that. Not sure how I feel about it.
Re: Random: Pokémon Diamond And Pearl Streamer Plays For 17 Days Non-Stop, Catches Almost 150 Shinies
Assuming this is on a cart and not from the eShop, would a cart with a shiny of every single Pokemon be worth real money? Could she auction it off?
Re: Poll: What's The Worst Legend Of Zelda Game?
I haven't played all of them and still know it's Skyward Sword. However, the controls are basically the only thing I did like about the game.
