Nice to know Square is only doing it to boost brand awareness, despite not localiaing the 3DS release of 11 for that very reason.

@Tasuki Dunno, you're closer to management of the company. Bring it up innit

@NEStalgia You were the one saying its not as big as we said it is.

Well, I didnt think it was this big either.

How many different ways can this thing be beaten down...by itself?

Oh no.

Now I will have to wait even longer for Dynasty Warriors 9 Xtreme Definitive Edition.

Let's play spot the "WTF".

Nintendo's commercials predominantly targeted younger audiences during programs such as SpongeBob SquarePants and Family Guy, across networks including Nick, the Disney Channel and Adult Swim.

@Mopati You only have to legally state an affiliation where there is an actual affiliation.

This is Nintendo simply stating, hey, do whatever.

If Nintendo paid you, or supplied a copy, and you then made a video, THEN you need to legally say so.

@ryancraddock To be fair, when has SEGA known what they are doing regarding Sonic?

@Grumblevolcano That's the joke. I know it's Rooftop Run, but the article, and Push Square, said the stage in Unleashed was called Market Street, when that's the name of the track in Racing.

People keep talking about this remix of Market Street from Sonic Unleashed.

I don't recall a stage named that in Unleashed. Odd.

@ryancraddock

@Joeynator3000 And those rules are....perfectly acceptable and in line with what people complaining were saying.

"But my videos are transformative!"

Now there is a rule saying, k, as long as its transformative, we are good.

"Only officially released things and materials"

Given how Smash got spread over the internet before release, yeah, go for it Nintendo.

So yeah, these rules are fine.

Probably should highlight this error in the article:

"upped the requirements for its controversial YouTube creators program."

All networks had to do that. YouTube mandated the minimum requirements for any monetisation be increased.

But...but.... NL users kept saying Smash isnt that big...

I think the big prpblem with this game was how it was announced.

E3 2017 - Core RPG title coming to Switch in the future

Then randomly at 4am my time, with no prior announcement, here's your first look at Let's Go.

It was live tweeted from a Japan only event. It didn't come out for some time that the game they intially announced was 2019.

By just dropping the news in the most backwards way imaginable and running what was initially counter to their comments at E3 just confused and frustrated people.

@Dahn_ Luigi's Mansion 3 is 2020 now huh?

@carlos82 In your post you said this:

"but I suspect that Spyro likely will appear on Switch as remasters of older games are certainly more viable."

Implying the only reason Spyro will show up is because it's a remaster, not because of the underlying technology.

If your comment that "It's a remaster so it will" holds up, there's this Resident Evil game coming out soon...

@Tasuki When the Switch inevitably drops off of a cliff at the announcement of the PS5.

@carlos82 The only thing going for getting Spyro on Switch instead of stuff like anything made in the RE Engine as you mention, is the engine that Spyro runs on.

I believe it goes by the name "Unreal Engine 4" or something. Something to do with Fortnite, Yoshi's Crafted World, Daemon X Machina...

@NewAdvent Mate I had to work overnight in a department I'm not trained in to fix someone else's mess until 5am, on the anniversary of one of the biggest events in world history.

Still observed the occasion while doing other things

@Audiobrainiac The trick is learning to ignore your brain telling you not to say something.

Also be mentally ill, and weird enough to come up with these kinds of things.

900p in 2018? Unacceptable.

It should be full 4k with HDR to include even colours not visible to the human eye, every frame should have a hidden ultraviolet only image that when collated with every other frame in the game creates a map to El Dorado and the game should do all that while wearing sexy lingerie because screw it I'm an entitled nerd who wants his jollies while having his cake and eating it too!

I've also been told by my business associates that to keep the lights on in the DF (Devil's Fornicator) offices I have to say the game card should taste like Cheerios and if not to call Blizzard's customer service at which point you will receive a replacement with a lifetime supply of phones in your pocket to play mobile titles while on the toilet recovering from that Mountain Dew and Dorito party you had last night that meant you had to skip work today to play more Diablo 3.

Oh, and your Mom says the mini pizzas are in the oven and you should take them out in half an hour.

"You really should give it a try".

When it comes to Europe, sure. For now, how?

@thesilverbrick The primary publisher is TPCi. TPCi determines the ultimate direction of the games. It is their decision alongside Game Freak.

I mean...it wasn't Nintendo's decision to leave out Pro Controller support given they aren't the developer/publisher so...

Ya know.

Blame the actual parties here.

But still, yeah, that's dumb.

Like not being able to disable motion.

Heck, most of the decision in this game are dumb.

This is the guy that ended up Gen 1 pandering and losing what made the series popular: Evolution.

When Ohmori got the chance to direct both ORAS and then Sun and moon, it was a huge change after the lacklustre XY. I tend to agree with Masuda that his magnum opus was Gen 5, because after that...wow.

So missing Snake, Simon, Richter....just the Konami ones...huh

This is what EA was touting at E3 as their way of letting you play "Anywhere at anytime" which sounds familiar...

@NESlover85 The remaining modes, items, assist trophies and characters?

@rjejr You know they are reprinting the Smash series amiibo right, and Wii Fit Trainer is one of them XD

Good thing I do night shifts!

Everyday we stray further from God and humanity was a mistake.

Well they DID put out a Twitter poll to ask if people wanted it..

I dunno if Pokemon is gonna make much difference tbh. The mobile crowd are happy on mobile here.

And Smash is Smash so....role on 2D Mario that will be new to the population of the UK because "Nintendo hasnt made a system since the Wii"

Last I checked weren't loads of events previously locked behind a paywall of travelling to certain places to get a gift Pokemon?

Also...Meltan is a Gen 7 Pokemon. Its been released in a Gen 7 game. Its Gen 7. Just like the 5 new creatures added in Ultra. Its Gen 7.

Cant wait to see this slideshow

@Agramonte Im fairly certain if Crash released in Japan on Switch at the Same time it would have fared better. Same with just Dark Souls in general.

But I suppose thats the downside of an underpowered system. You get stuff late and it spirals down leaving only the real systems in the race.

@RadioHedgeFund It's based on the ancient belief that metal was a mystical element, as this is worshipped as the creator of metals.

So ya know, alchemy. Plus, they don't always have to be based on mythology. This is also based, in a more modern sense, on the understood properties of mercury to amalgamate.

This is the UK so it wont win.

This is the UK so it wont win.

This is the UK so it wont win.

@Dalarrun Interesting. Seems there is more with this remaster than first thought.

@Dalarrun No it's not, but that doesn't excuse the developers leaving in a lure to change the controls and then not letting you.

If you're going to keep it to something non-standard for the platform, don't pretend like there is an alternative, you know?

@Donutman That doesn't excuse the fact that controls in remasters have changed before and will again in future from the original releases.

Further, the notion of changing a game's confirm and cancel buttons not just between consoles but even languages is most definitely not unheard of. Why wasn't it done here?

Further to THAT, all that and your comments don't excuse the fact there is a menu option to change this to your preference that you can't even access.

Why is there an option in the menu to rebind controls...that you cant use?

Still my favourite game ever.

So a port is welcomed

"this marks the first time that a third-party title has received its own custom Switch system"

No, it's really not.

The problem with point 1 is sure, it will reduce the shock.

But for the people who were overwhelmed by the jump from say, Gen 2 to 3? They couldnt cope with that. How will they manage going from 1 to 8?

As for the controller thing, given you can hold the player two controller and player one controller on your own in the same way many games are played normally...this can snap the game over your knee.

This all seems accessible but it doesnt answer the question of getting those fans to cope with the sheer jump

@Pete41608 You didn't hand anything.

You said something on the internet that is the equivalent of "My iPhone got a software update that makes it waterproof" only not quite so asinine.

Now I think about it they could have lotentially repurposed some capacitors or something if they were just laying around, but the actual screen panels themselves, yeah no they kinda got thrown out. Don't see those coming back.

Unless they make some kind of 4DS.

It's funny you mention repurposing spare parts though as the Pro Controller just uses a 3DS battery. God knows how many of those they had laying around.

@Pete41608 "I just assumed they took unsold Wii U gp screens or whatever and repurposed them for the Switch's use."

If they did that, then those screens not only magically changed from one point resistive touch screens to 10-point capacitive, but also changed to higher quality LCDs at a higher display resolution of 720p instead of 480p, during this "Repurposing".

Amazing what leaving unused materials in a warehouse will do: Like wine, it matures apparently.

I remember when the expansion pass was announced and people called it a ripoff.

Good times.

Anyway I'm up for either a return to X or a new direction. Let's leave the fantasy stuff behind.
