In this case, you are speaking sales in US of A, right? The series had moderate success in the niche in some parts of the Europe, but only after the tv series that it became an international hit.
I am not from US of A. My point was in this context. I do not read nor have interest in north-american critics of north-american books.
The only point that we can agree is that the tv series made the books a cultural phenomenon.
@-wc- A Cabeça do Santo, by Socorro Acioli, is a weak book (With a strong consensus among the negative reviews), but they turned into a TV show and the success of the show made the book a bestseller.
As I not watch north-american tv shows, I have nothing to say about the adaptation of Martin's books, but the point is that (almost) any book can be adapted and sometimes the original source is more an inspiration.
I read that Game of Thrones tv show is not a faithful adaptation of the books.
There is a lot of valid complaints, but people complaining that there is no offline single player experience in a online multiplayer experience shows me that people always gonna complain, even if they did not pretend to play ever.
The recasting controversy may be a distracting dealbreaker
Not really. Only within reactionary forums this was talked. This is a totally nonissue, to be honest, otherwise, let us factor everything, not what is conveniently easier to bash...
one app, called Nintendo App, with NSO features would be ideal.
Perhaps Nintendo Music as a stand alone would make sense. But Today, Store and NSO should all be one.
The Switch 2 version will of course support crossplay with all other platforms, and it will also have a mouse mode, touch screen support for menus, advanced vibrations as well as gyroscope aiming for the best possible immersion.

Re: Free-To-Play RPG 'The New Denpa Men' Is Ending Service Later This Year
That is too bad. I have been playing since the launch.
Well, I hope they launch The Denpa Men 4 someday.
Re: CD Projekt Red Says It's Working On Fixes For Witcher 3 Remastered
Seriously that no one saw this before the launch?!
Re: Capcom Admits It's Been A "Painstaking" Process Porting Monster Hunter Wilds To Switch 2

Wilds bombed everywhere and gonna bomb on Switch 2 too.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave?
60 hours in, 6/10 being generous.
This one is worse than Awakening.
Re: Sakurai Believes Industry Will "Slowly Die" Without Innovation As He Discontinues Game Designers Award
Ooook Mr. Sakurai. Let us see you develop a new franchise, please.
Re: Nintendo Explains Why Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave Has Just "A Single Save File"
Each save could be a clean state. Problem solved.
They are afraid of save scumming, that is all.
Re: Nintendo's 'Customer Appreciation Sale' Discounts Games, amiibo & More, Here's Everything Included (US)
All América has its prices based in US of A prices, so this sale should have been in all the continent.

Re: Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Launches On Switch 2 On 5th November 2026
Better than I expected, but still a remake of a game that I have played a lot.
No rush to buy this one.

Re: Review: Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition (Switch 2) - An Outstanding Achievement In Open-World Design
@AussieMcBucket
But Martin is a mediocre author. He made success because of the adaptation of his books.
I never cared about Elden Ring because of this.
Re: Indie Publisher Nakana.io Is Closing, All Games Now Heavily Discounted
I researched the games and they all sucks hard, so, thanks, I will pass.
Re: Netflix Shuts Down Oxenfree Developer Night School Studio
Oxenfree is just awful, so I hope that these devs can make better games on the future.
Re: Round Up: Game Freak's 'Beast Of Reincarnation' Is A Mixed Bag
Sorry, but this is not Nintendo related. Why is this news here?
Re: Pokémon Champions Has Now Surpassed 10 Million Downloads Worldwide
@Lizuka I mean, since the beginning, this was marketed as a PvP experience. This was never promised to be a successor of Pokémon Stadium.reddit
@Rykdrew Skill issue.
Not every Pokémon is for everyone. And this ok.
Re: Review: Lonely Mountains: Downhill (Switch) - A Freewheeling Downhill Delight
How is the perfomance in Switch 2?
Re: No Gravity Games Is Giving Away 6 Free Switch Games This Month
@dystome I disagree.
Our time is more valuable. A free bad game is still a bad game.
Re: All Delisted Nintendo Switch 1 & 2 Games Missing From The eShop
@nhSnork Very informative.
Thanks.
Re: All Delisted Nintendo Switch 1 & 2 Games Missing From The eShop
Why God Wars was delisted? I do not think it is a licensed franchise.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Ranked Battle Season 11 Starts Next Week With Returning Rewards
@The_Blue_Mage And since we can never transfer the items into new games, the decision to not care is easier than ever.

Re: 'Sega Universe' Initiative Announced, Celebrating Multiple Classics With Anniversary Projects

Re: It's Happening: Final Fantasy XIV Is Coming To Switch 2 This August
@Sarkos For some weird reasons, Final Fantasy X and X2 are not on Brazilian eShop. Also, we have Dragon Quest 1 and 3 but not 2.
Also, they usually do not localize its games into portuguese or latin américa spanish.
Re: It's Happening: Final Fantasy XIV Is Coming To Switch 2 This August
Probably it will not be avaiable in South América. :'(
Re: Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced Officially Revealed, But It'll Skip Switch 2
This one is where on the timeline?
I know that there is AC1 and AC2 and... that is it.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Pragmata For Switch 2?
No.
Played the demo, the system of these silly brainless puzzles in the middle of the action actually sucks, to be honest.
Re: "Feels Like A Fleshed Out Beta" - Fans Are Unhappy With Pokémon Champions At Launch
There is a lot of valid complaints, but people complaining that there is no offline single player experience in a online multiplayer experience shows me that people always gonna complain, even if they did not pretend to play ever.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Is Getting Pokémon HOME Connectivity This Week
@EarthboundBenjy Also, if you send a pokémon from Shield or Violet to Legends ZA, they CAN NOT go back to their original games.
I simply can not understand. This is a paid service...
Re: Rumour: Pokémon GO May Soon Render Auto Catchers Obsolete
@Vyacheslav333 Also, something bad can not retain users. So if a game has a lot of recurrent players, it could not be this bad (like Tekken 8 is bad).
Re: Rumour: Pokémon GO May Soon Render Auto Catchers Obsolete
@Vyacheslav333
Yes. Surely is more popular than fighting games.
Re: Review: Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage (Switch 2) - A Great Port Of Sega's Deep Yet Approachable Fighter
Like every other service? I really dislike this digital future, but you still can redownload your WiiWare and VC games from Wii.
Sony even deleted from user account digital products purchased in their store!!!
Physical cards on Switch 2 are too slow (I have Mario Kart World physical and it is baffling how slow is in comparison with the digital).
I hope that the Switch 3 has a proper physical media, since I like to sell my older games.
Re: Review: Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage (Switch 2) - A Great Port Of Sega's Deep Yet Approachable Fighter
The only game not in Nintendo consoles that I wanted to play.
Finally I can play Virtua Fighter on my console of choice.
And better yet. Bikini DLC.
Re: Hands On: Pokémon Champions Promises Top-Tier Battling, But At What Cost?
Charizard is awful in competitive. We will need to know your team, my dude.
Re: Acclaimed Arcade Racer 'Horizon Chase Turbo' Being Delisted From Switch eShop
@Hordak Well, physical games also can go out of print and stop working.
But I agree with you, I prefer physical copies, but I have lots of floppy disks with games that I can not even use anymore.
@bransby
Perhaps something about licensed music? I know that the game has some Ayrton Senna license.
Re: 50 Best Game Boy Advance Games Of All Time

@Bats1234 It is a great game.
Re: Community: Which Switch 1 Games Benefit Most From Switch 2's New Boost Mode?
Pokémon Shield looks good now.
Re: Super Mario Bros. Wonder - Switch 2 Edition Gets A New Overview Trailer
@Sonicka Nintendo is completely clueless regarding 2D Mario, unfortunately.

How dare people spend their money they way they want to enjoy some games.
Better listen to anons on internet.

Re: Nintendo Store App Receives A Small But Welcome Update
Still, there is too much apps.
one app, called Nintendo App, with NSO features would be ideal.
Perhaps Nintendo Music as a stand alone would make sense. But Today, Store and NSO should all be one.
Re: Valheim Brings A Slice Of Viking Survival To Switch 2 This Year
@kal_el_07241
Yes.
From the official site.
Re: Valheim Brings A Slice Of Viking Survival To Switch 2 This Year
I have been reading impressions about this game and only read good things (for those who like the genre).
I was interested, now I am excited!
Re: Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition Launches 24th February for Switch 2
I only now the first 2 and the Tactics one (through GoG).
This one seems so different.
