Lol @ all these saying that they should acquire other developing companies when they have enough already and they're still neglectful of their IPs that aren't either Mario, Zelda, or Smash (and to an extent; one lucky random one which is usually Animal Crossing or Splatoon).
So, yeah what I'm saying if you're unlucky enough they're buying out the one that you're fond of, you can say goodbye to your favorite franchise(s) π
(It won't surprise me if Nintendo goes the way of Konami in the distant future and only makes something specific non-video game related.)
@mariomaster96 AH-HA~! The same joke was said when they released Super Mario Maker 1 & 2 π But seriously though I agree with you that they desperately need to step it up and this does at least look interesting.
"There's been a lot of news about Mother 3" You mean deluded people screaming on social media for Nintendo to release it, like they have done for nearly two decades. But as ya'll said before: Anything Nintendo related (be it Sakurai having having a purple chair in his office, or Reggie likes to play Xbox once in a blue moon) is considered "News".
@Darlinfan Only because you say you're not a fanboy doesn't make it any less so. That's for others to decide, not yourself. Hypocrisy is still hypocrisy, you dingus. And you're a literal fanboy hypocrite~
@Darlinfan
Okay then, will do. I'll leave alone with your Shigeru cardboard cutout and a copy Wii Music, while you think of yourself molesting me as a child~ π
@Darlinfan Sorry, no can do. I will call people out if they're blindly kissing Nintendo's fecal matter. I mean do you really want people to keep telling Nintendo what they are doing (rereleases, unjustifiable lawsuits/cease & desists, over prices, and general disappointment) is okay or even great? It seems as though ever since the Wii era the fanbase has become as submissive as the Apple fanbase, just full of Yes Men for Nintendo.
@Darlinfan
Okay, I admit that it was assholish of me to call you out like that and I apologize. It's just I'm tired of seeing people licking Nintendo's boots when they don't deserve it.
And please don't use lines like "I molested you during childhood" π¬
@Darlinfan
"Pretending the Switch has the same problem the Wii did is asinine" You're right, the Wii at least had fantastic run (hell, I might admit that it was the best modern Nintendo console they released). The Switch can't even get past the third hurdle and literally needs crutches in the form of rereleases to stay relevant...
I really don't get why everybody is so Gung Ho on Nintendo officially releasing it in the west. Just download an emulator and the fanslation, or if you're not into that just buy the cartridge, ffs.
@PBandSmelly
Believe what you want to believe, dude. I ain't forcing you to hate them or face the reality of them gritting their teeth and just being professionals just like Joan Crawford and Bette Davis during their time on 'What Ever Happened to Baby Jane'.
(Don't forget to Like and Subscribe. Also why not buy a Freddie Freaker shirt/plushie/whatever and stickers of my face to put in your coloring book?)
@PBandSmelly
"That's a pretty negative way to view things."
Sorry dude that isn't my view, it's literally Julian's. He even stated that Chris really does have a anger issues and is difficult to work with.
Trust me it is for the money (and recognition on Double D's part). Again, sorry it isn't "HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY" going on with them. It's like this in the entertainment business, which is what they are; a business.
@PBandSmelly Eh, I think there's still some resentment still there. Julian really doesn't like to discuss anything to do with his time doing let's plays/Oney. To be honest it wouldn't surprise me that they are doing it for the money just like the last time...
To be honest I think people are looking way too much into this. I mean most games you can get on Xbox you can get on Playstation (and vice versa), if Sony actually had a substantial amount of exclusives I'm sure we would see a Playstation on that shelf too.
I'm sure everybody on planet Earth has a combination of either a Playstation and Switch or an Xbox and Switch because of Nintendo only exclusives.
@rjejr It's not for everyone, tbh. You either like it or don't. For me it's just fun seeing your Mii characters get into fun situations, not necessarily playing the game as you said. As I said further above, I would have rather had a more interactive reboot (or sequel) of Tomodachi Life and I'm only buying this game so that there's more of a chance they would consider it. (Then again I have an aching feeling they're trying to avoid making one because they promised to put homosexual relationships in the potential sequel)
@rjejr "And since there is a button that says - play itself - in the menu, I'm guessing the game can 100% do all of the battles w/o any input." That's actually not right, it maybe wins 15-20% of the battles for you. And the battles are actually a little more difficult when you can't play as the other party members because you can't strategize, they're unpredictable. You could end up losing, especially in the very last world they will frustrate you with moves you don't want them to do...
Just finished the demo and I have to say I'm disappointed but not surprised. It's just the same game as 3DS game but with slightly better graphics, "dates" that are really none-interactive cutscenes, wigs and makeup that are really limited (they're mostly with females in mind not much for males), and a horse. The demo is literally the same as the demo on 3DS. I was really hoping that there was something along the lines of free roaming, more interactions, more wigs that are normal and not animu, able to play the other party members, more/different outfits from the 3DS ones, more jobs, and not a carbon copy plot from the original. What's worse is there's no way to get Miis unless you've got an amiibo which is still a major grind. Would I still buy it? Shamefully yes, mainly because I actually like Miis and hope that Nintendo doesn't outright throw them out. Would I recommend that you buy it? Hell no, especially if you already have the 3DS version.
@rjejr "JRPG for toddlers" The main game maybe but good luck with the after game.
Also you can import your Miis by amiibos which I have to warn is a giant pain...
@SwitchVogel
Eh, don't really know about that, I would much prefer if they focused on actual Switch games.
Though I wouldn't mind a Tomodachi remake/reboot with actual interactions.
@Kirbo100 Oh, well if he was referring to present day Simpsons then I would agree. But to act that way to early-mid 90's Simpsons which my pfp is from is sacrilege.
He's right about the lack of diversity in videogames.
I mean where's a game where you play as a fat, slightly purple, paranoid schizophrenic, gay man that sits on his ass all day titled "Jack_[REDACTED]"?
"Nostalgia is a powerful thing" Oof
Tell that to the 10 year old me that didn't suffer from "nostalgia".
That legitimately liked the gameplay and aesthetic of retro games because he thought that the Gamecube/PS2 era looked fugly and ignorantly thought everything was either a janky GTA or CoD clone.
That's pretty cool and good for them. But if I'm really honest, considering that the Japanese look after things extremely well this isn't that much of a challenge.
I mean I would be really impressed if they went after every NTSC or PAL release boxed with manual...
@robr "I'm going to go down the google rabbet hole to learn about the legalities of porno parodies" Well thankfully they're not going away anytime soon. People need to remember that we're not in the 20th century anymore. We need more artistic freedom not monopolising censorship.
@Andy_Witmyer >Not seeking out game-related Bara Such a scrub...
@robr "it was probably the quickest way to nip it in the bud" If that's the case (which it really isn't, it was so that it couldn't be distributed anymore like I said before, again...) they certainly failed on that.
@robr Well if that's the case then why did Nintendo have to buy out the rights to Super Hornio Brothers? I mean that wasn't critiquing the video games in anyway... Like I said before I don't make the laws and concerning parody laws I guess they are murky and super lenient these days then they were in the 90's/2000's...
@Heavyarms55 LOL I don't make the laws, kiddo. π Also have you never heard of Scary Movie? It was a parody of Scream but you didn't see Kevin Williamson trying to sue the pants of the Wayan Brothers who were profiting from it. To answer you question: Not at all, as long as it's a parody of my work and not a straight up rip-off. I don't think the artist that modeled Bowser's dick was ripping off Nintendo anyway because they haven't designed one yet.
@Heavyarms55
What you seem to forget is that this and all NSFW fanworks fall under parody. That's why Nintendo had to buy the rights to Super Hornio Brothers for it to stop being distributed.
So yeah, if Nintendo hasn't brought the rights to Bowser's horny peen then they are in the wrong in this case.
@Folkloner Honestly the way Nintendo has been so lacking the few years it's no wonder people are so thirsty for leaks, literally begging for some hope through this long draught that they'll believe anything... What I mean is you can't blame people for being so gullible in these dark times...
Get this the "Switch Pro" is actually a hybrid console. You can still play regular Switch games but they would be releasing games exclusively for it. Either that and/or Microsoft is either brought a large chunk of Nintendo or outright brought them...
@BirdBoy16
A bit strange that they said Gameboy Color on the promo (even having the actual trademark logo stamped on it!) but not on the boxart.
