@Arcade_Tokyo I may just throw up.

@Arcade_Tokyo That's a thing they have? Wow.

Different cultures indeed.

Snake got into Brawl to advertise his new game on other systems.

Simon and Richter got into Ultimate to advertise their games on other systems.

I'm seeing a trend...

@b0nes @Bunkerneath Reminds me of an article I once read that was almost exclusively the names of tropes from TVTropes, so every point in the article, several times per sentence, was effectovely an entire page on another site you needed to read for context.

Cute gimmick, failed as a writer.

Number 3 made no sense.

It starts as if you want people to catch other people being pervs then goes into some overly verbose literary battle to decode.

I use Discord, but that's not exclusive to Switch things as an alternative.

It's the same with PS4 and Xbox One and even native VC via PC Games. Discord is just better.

@Galenmereth "So remind me again why you want us to pay for your online "service", Nintendo?"

Simple. Investors see Sony and MS making money hand over fist for effectively nothing, and since Nintendo is a publicly traded business they need to answer to those demands, plain and simple.

You wouldn't be insane enough to tell the people sending cash your way that no, this free, proven, easy money on the table isn't worth it.

Ever since they mentioned paid online in January 2017, I have noticed this entire thing feels reluctant. Honestly it seems like even Nintendo themselves don't want to do it.

@Silly_G They did make an origami Pokemon.

@Silly_G Have you seen some of the Pokemon in this series? Magnets, balls, ice creams, origami, cable ties...

People wanted a Netflix, expanding style of classic games for years, complaining they had to rebuy individual titles.

Now they got what they want, and want to go back.

Why?

vomits explosively

We are regressing people.

Where we dropping the kids?

Like most western third parties, they dont know how it works.

Either way, as a company I certainly wouldn't waste money on something that wont yield much if any profit.

Happy birthday to me I guess

I think people missed the point they were making that a lot of games are releasing with similar names...

The software attach rate on this thing is maddening. People just want to play games on it.

I call this "Natural Selection" in practice.

The stupid don't get to go on.

I would care but given its not releasing in this nebulous void that sits east of the US and west of Japan that the games industry hates to acknowledge then I simply cant care.

Okay I'm deleting that comment now. I've had enough.

Digital only on Switch regardless of region, and digital only period in Europe.

Because of course it is.

Either way, this release just shy of my birthday so...I'll get it.

Ive only had the problem of not being able to join friends.

@kobashi100 Been over this for years huh? Despite the Switch not even being out for two?

What planet are you on that cycles the sun that fast?

@kobashi100 32GB cards already exist. Dragon Quest Heroes 1 + 2 in Japan comes on one 32GB card.

Given said sites used Nintendo and Mario imagery in their banners etc, basically appropriating a brand to advertise their own, what is by law a software piracy, website...Nintendo is in the right.

Don't steal branding. Especially when you use it to advertise something illegal.

@Razer Its a multiplatform game and the other versions dont get anything extra.

I'm still curious how Nintendo is allowed to market these games given Sony has the exclusive marketing rights. Again,

@RyanSilberman Like they already are on PS4/Xbox One. The Trilogy is just a limited release thing for NA/Asia.

Still...I'll believe this when I see it. Then again, Bandai Namco did say they were kicking themselves.

I think people are forgetting the thing we had last week was Europe focused. As in, Nintendo of America didn't mention it. It was Nintendo UK published and presented.

This is a global Nindies Direct. Enjoy.

Pretty much the conclusion I came to when I did articles on this game a while ago, but with one notable difference.

I did mention that some of the ideas displayed would do wonders fully expanded in a sequel. Kind of a Sonic 1 going to Sonic 2 scenario.

That and I was able to give them loads of feedback for an upcoming patch (On PC at least).

Maybe it comes to Switch? I'll need to ask them.

Since when was this game authentic?

@chemical Yeah it is, but it's a known fact with these service based games, you won't have time for all of them, so whats the point trying to muscle in on a market?

It's like, yeah you could play our MMO instead, but you've already got one and don't have time for two MMOs, Fortnite, Rocket League, Overwatch and numerous other service based titles that keep wanting you to come back.

It's a losing battle and they are wise to not jump in.

And tbh, who has time for ANOTHER MMO? Look at all the ones that came out after WoW. Dead now.

@hatch I try not to deal with fanboys.

@Spoony_Tech Because they were already working on it, and it's episodic and won't conclude until Xmas.

So rather than wait until that ends, just put this out now to fill the gaps, instead of delaying the start of the final season.

Perfectly understandable. There are some games that just wont work with certain interfaces and a full scale PC RTS that has you flying across a keyboard isnt going to work.

"We want physical stuff back"

"Here you go, plus discounts"

"Not good enough"

Nintendo fans.

They wanted Unreal Engine 3 to run on the **VITA AND 3DS!!**

That should have told you what the result would be!

And so it begins.

I also notice how DQXI is suddenly "Going well" after months of troubles and "Development issues and lots of work" the moment Octopath sells.

Funny that.

That Monster Hunter stage looked a little less like a fighting stage....and more like a flat out boss fight...

One thing this article didn't mention is those sites quite bluntly used copyrighted images all over to advertise. I mean the banner image was freaking Mario sprites.

The frame drops at points in the trailer highlight when they change from PS4 to Switch footage. Heck it's blunt as all get out. Gross.

Did they just say Nintendo gamers are basic?

Guess what I got a review code for and have been playing for a few weeks.

Yep.

This'll be good.

Put Yakuza on more platforms for that extra revenue maybe?

@BensonUii I dont care if people approve of what I say or not.

@LaytonPuzzle27 Hey.

I never said I wanted them to go jump. I said some would.

Some aint me.

Some would wish Konami would go bungee jump without a cord.

Can we get some new management down at Capcom Europe while we are at it?

@electrolite77 He owes 27 million currently.

But yeah looking at past disclosures he holds for a 6 to 8 month window it seems. So it wouldnt be based on yearly results.

Seems he took this out in April/May

@electrolite77 We know he's bet against these figures because its a short bet. Those are typically weeks to a few months.

This individual in particular never holds for more than 8 months
