So, I'm confused. Did they stop distribution of the update and just didn't revert it for those who already got it? I'm seeing no indicator on mine that forgotten world is up. I had an update a few days ago that bought mine up to 2.0.
Remeber when Andrew Carnagie had a monopoly on all stages of the steel production process? I'm sure this random thought that I just had has nothing to do with this.
@Lordplops It's really not though. April Fools has become a day where you have to be on edge about everything you read because too many people don't make obvious jokes. Our world is ridiculous right now that anything you read can actually be easily thought of as truth. It's basically a day that encourages lying and promotes bullying.
@Magrane That's not what companies do though. They push out older established employees so they can pay new ones less. A statement like what Robertson made here sounds suspicious to me. It's full of vague language.
Good. Get the real life embodiment of Gallywix out of that position. In fact, fire the entire board. I swear, publicly traded companies were a mistake.
@victordamazio This is why copyright laws need an overhaul, such as when a license is granted it never expires and there can never be exclusive licenses.
This comment section is the reason why this stuff just shouldn't be the topic of articles on this site. We can seek this out on our own if really want to find out. It's just better to stick to game announcements, reviews, and fluff pieces for when there aren't any games to announce or review. Basically stuff that is trivial and any arguments about them will be trivial. Nintendo life really should stick to the basics. Not because I think the staff is dumb, just avoids any legitimate unpleasantness.
@KayFiOS All of that being, I apologize for causing you stress. I did wish to evoke that response from someone, so I will think in the future about what I say and how it might affect someone.
@KayFiOS We were having a calm conversation. I wasn't yelling. Why did feel the need to escalate? There was a better way to present your points but you resorted to personal insults about my intelligence and ability to form opinions. I sense you really like the game and that's fine. You don't need my permission to like it. But I would appreciate it if we could could be civil.
@anoyonmus It's not the amout of content, it's that the game itself is a lie. They advertise it as one thing but it's completely different to the point of being not being a twist but a straight up different game.
I know how this sounds but the tag line "A unique mix of roguelike and deck-builder" doesn't work anymore. While this game will likely have differences to the others, it's still no longer a unique concept.
@Yosher Seriously. Gamestop delaying the amiibo honestly makes my blood boil. Preordered them months ago to make sure I had them on release day. I hate Gamestop. They probably said "Give us something exclusive or we won't sell your game."
Don't give Ubisoft anything. It was just accidental representation due to checking off the open world rpg checklist of character customization. Don't give Last of Us 2 anymore awards, it's already caused enough problems. Hades was genuine by presenting the relationships as normal without any grandstanding.
As long as gamestop holds on long enough for me to get my monster hunter rise amiibo that just had to be exclusive to them, they can close down for all I care.
@DanTee I only bought the Switch because it's the only current portable console out there to my knowledge. I don't care about the vast majority of first party titles. The only first party title I have, if it even really counts as one, is Cadence of Hyrule. The Switch is underpowered for what it could be. Portability will always bring concessions I understand, but when games that have purposefully "retro" graphics still struggle on your console that's a problem in my eyes. Nintendo has a recent history of underpowered consoles that turn developers off.
@XenoShaun It doesn't matter if you don't like it, don't make the first comment on the article an "eugh". I was so excited for this. I've known about this game for years and was awaiting a Switch release. Thanks for killing my joy.
Oh for the love of all that is sacred in gaming, why is this Bubsy game still being pushed foward? How did it even get this far? Did the previous games in the series actually sell well despite being absolute pig swill? Will I stop asking question to make a point? I want answers!
@Chunkboi79 Also to be fair you are encouraged to up the difficulty and beat the game again to keep unlocking the higher difficulties. Also, without giving spoilers, there is a "true final boss" on the highest difficulty.
I know this is going to come off as mean, but Golden Week sounds like an ill advised idea. A week and almost a half is a long time for a company to basically shut down completely when you have games that need attention. You can't always catch every bug, glitch, etc. before launch which is why day 1 patches are important. I think it's poor customer service and sends a frustrating message to developers when they make problems right immediately but the company doesn't allow them to deliver. The problem I have with Nintendo specifically is that they are already slow when they operate normally to allow developers to push minor patches and hotfixes out. I'm just frustrated because this is also affecting a critical patch for Enter the Gungeon that was already submitted two weeks ago. I just think this is a bad message to send people that you're taking ten days off without cleaning some things up first.

Re: The Pokémon Company Is Buying The Firm That Makes Its Trading Cards
@Tobiaku Very clever. A company should not own all parts of a production process, regardless of a situation. It's just asking for greed.

Re: Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! Arrives Later This Month On Switch
This game needs to be free because as Yahtzee said (paraphrasing): If they charged money for it, they could probably be sued.

@Razer Does that mean you thought Monster Hunter was so bad it made you move on from Switch?

Looks fun, but could potentially be a performance nightmare on Switch. Hope I'm wrong.

Umm none of the Monster Hunter Amiibo arrived. They got delayed.
Re: Owning Both Monster Hunter Rise And Monster Hunter Stories 2 Will Earn You A "Special Bonus"
@Yosher Thank you. It makes me feel better to have someone commiserate. Were you impacted at all? If so I hope you get yours timely as well.

Not delayed long enough in my opinion. A more appropriate delay would be until the heat death of the Universe.

I mean the game is called Mighty SWITCH Force. Seems surprising it took this long to come to the Switch. Awesome to hear!
