Re: People Are Review-Bombing Pokémon: Let's Go Across Major Sites, Amazon Japan Blocks User Scores

Hyrule

This one cracked me up on amazon. I mean really Nintendo didnt release enough information??!! They announced 4 pokemon games on one day clearly mentioning the mainline game is coming in 2019.
Disclaimer this is an amazon review as an example of review bombing. It's not mine lol
1star:
"What a waste. I thought this was gonna be a proper Pokémon game but with the Go type of capturing.. No.. the capturing is pretty much the Whole Game. This was gonna be my first proper Pokémon game after seeing how the old games played and got excited for the pre-release. Nintendo didn't release enough info about the game to realise it was this crap. Less than 30 mins and I am returning for refund."

Absolutely love it, mine came yesterday and I was up far later into this morning that I should have been, catching pokemon. So much nostalgia from the gameboy years. Pokeball plus is fun, albeit noisy at night. My partner didn't appreciate the noise from catching pokemon at 2am lol. It's a great foray for those new to the series, and also a great revisiting for seasoned pokemon fans.
That's what games are supposed to be about right, fun!!

Re: Feature: Inside The Twisted And Abusive Culture Of Yasha Haddaji's Nintendo Russia

Hyrule

I've had managers like this and also had clients behave like this while I was onsite. More commonplace than we would all like to admit.
From Nintendo I expect a swift and quiet replacement to be done in Russia, as this is definitely not the image of the Nintendo we know and love. It's a shame one person can be so disruptive, but sadly adults in working life are albeit sometimes worse than children.

Re: US Trader Rubs Salt Into Nintendo's Share Drop Wounds With $400 Million Bet Against The Company

Hyrule

And yet another article of little substance, about an industry based on risk, filled with analysts and stockbrockers with little understanding of the companies they invest in and analyse. The best line in this poor article was, "A lack of new game announcements was reportedly to blame" and then you link to one of your own articles which is opinion not fact. I literally cant even with this...

Re: Pre-Orders For Nintendo Switch Online Subscriptions Go Live On Amazon

Hyrule

@UmbreonsPapa If people actually read the article and realised this has nothing to do with Nintendo. It's about amazon taking preorders for something that hasn't even got a definitive release date. Instead it's just turned into a thread for people to moan about the online service and anything else that tickles their fancy. The usual and how they don't like it, its too expensive, they don't want NES games, they want to play online for free, they want cloud saves, its not like PSN or Xbox live. All the while, there is more to be announced between now and September. It just gets tiring the merry go round of bile on these forums.

Top 10 best sellers in PC & Videogames on Amazon UK currently, for a bit of a variation are:
1.Octopath Traveler (Nintendo Switch)
2.Mario Tennis Aces (Nintendo Switch)
3.Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo Switch)
4.Crash Bandicoot NSane Trilogy (Xbox One)
5.Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy (Nintendo Switch)
6.Nintendo Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee Including Poke Ball Plus
7.Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (Nintendo Switch)
