Still waiting for Brilliant Diamond e Shining Pearl though. The Lake Trio music is so good (too bad that we do not have it complete in Legends Arceus).
Nintendo seemingly doesn't care about the quality like their other IPs
If Nintendo cared about "other IPs", that atrocious Skyward Sword would never be released. This lame excuse of game almost ruined the whole Zelda brand.
Nate the Hate is not an "insider". Heck, he got more things wrong than right (he has a friend on Ubisoft who leaks for him and for everyone).
Plus, this is the same nate that had to apologize because his "leak" of CoD on Switch did not happened. He also said Metroid Prime Trilogy would be launched. Nintendo 64 Mini. StarFox GP...
He just want to boost his brand with educated guesses. He never, NEVER, leaked or got anything right from NCL.
I would never list a remake of a bad game at the top. Pokémon Gold and Silver are, for me, the worst in the series. A remake of a bad game is still a bad game.
Gold and Heart Gold are the only Pokémon games that I played for less than 50 hours.
They asked for a price? Like actually knowing the price of the console? Or what?
Reggie said in his book that he tried to push the 3DS into US$ 200 for its launch in USofA. Iwata asked about US$ 219 or US$ 229, but Reggie was adamant on US$ 200.
@larryisaman Reggie himself said that he asked for a price for 3DS in USofA and Iwata dismissed it.
Today's NoA is weak. They are a glorified PR and distribution branch. The last time that NoA was somewhat independent was when Minoru Arakawa was on the helm.

Instead of getting drift with 3 months, now we will get with 6 months. :/
Re: Site News: We've Got A Switch 2
Only friday for me.
Re: Early Impressions Of Pokémon Scarlet And Violet On Switch 2 Are Very Positive
Nice. They are the best pokémon games ever. The only thing not so good are the "real time" raids.
Re: A Video Showing The Switch 2's Boot Screens Has Been Shared Online
Cool, the Switch 2 can be turned on!!!11111
Re: Yooka-Laylee Dev Playtonic Is The Latest Studio Hit By Layoffs
It sucks, but that is business.
Most people who complain are the ones buying these games dirty cheap in sales (and never playing), so they are all part of the problem.
Re: Opinion: Upgraded For Switch 2, ARMS Deserves A Second Shot At Greatness
@chardir
This needs to be highlighted more. For me, this was the jump in moment. The game controls very very well with standard controls.
Re: Opinion: Upgraded For Switch 2, ARMS Deserves A Second Shot At Greatness
The thing is, you do not need to play with motion controls.
After I read an AmA with a tournament winner, he said that he only uses the traditional controls.
So I donwloaded the demo back then and played in portable mode. Since then, I fell in love and have more hours in ARMS than in Smash.
Bringa back the crash parties!!

I really like dungeon crawlers but have no idea for what "soulslike" is supposed to mean.
Re: Review: SoulCalibur II (GameCube) - One Of The Best Fighters Ever, Playable Oh-So-Soon On Switch 2
Theo irony of this game is that Link was an awful addition to the roster. At least, he is way better than Heihachi.
Re: Shenmue III On Switch 2? Publisher's Latest Tease Suggests It Might Be Happening
@Zufolobelisk I did not like I and II, and III did not set the world on fire either, so...
Re: Shenmue III On Switch 2? Publisher's Latest Tease Suggests It Might Be Happening
No, thanks.
I want only good games on Switch 2.
Re: Nintendo Music Adds More Than 100 Pokémon Songs In The Latest Update
Still waiting for Brilliant Diamond e Shining Pearl though. The Lake Trio music is so good (too bad that we do not have it complete in Legends Arceus).
Re: Yes, Nightdive Is Aware Its Games Would Be "Great" With Switch 2 Mouse Support
I do not think that the "mouse" support is better than gyro aiming for shooters though.
Re: Monster Hunter And Resident Evil Help Capcom Achieve A Record-Breaking Year
Gyakuten Saiban sold more than Onimusha.
Interesting. Where is the 7th game, Capcom?!
Re: Yep, Tony Hawk Fancies An 'Underground' Remaster Too
No, thanks.
All these skate games are just like the others.
Make a new one instead.
Re: Best-Selling Nintendo Switch Games - Every First-Party Title To Pass One Million Sales
@yoshi420 Nintendo itself said that Pokémon is first party and that MarioRabbids was licensed.
Nintendo. Said. That. Pokémon. Is. First. Party.
The end. Thanks for attention.
Re: Paul Rudd Returns In An Awesome SNES-Style Switch 2 Commercial
Who?
It seems that this is focused in USofA.
Re: Pokémon GO Doubling Amount Of Daily Remote Raids Has Nothing To Do With New Owners
Suuuuuure.
Also, we do not need Mr. Steranka on the helm. All of the last awful choices were made by him.
Re: Best-Selling Nintendo Switch Games - Every First-Party Title To Pass One Million Sales
@yoshi420 Nintendo said that Pokémon is.
Who knows more? NCL or yoshi420?
Re: Best-Selling Nintendo Switch Games - Every First-Party Title To Pass One Million Sales

Is Nintendo wrong and you right?
Re: Mario Kart World "Paid DLC" Would Be A Big No-No, According To Ex-Nintendo Duo
@Obi-WonTheHighGround Alison is too busy being an extra in Investigation Discovery series.
I would love to see her again, though.
Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate The Nintendo Switch 2 Direct?
Terrible.
Lacked new games.
Too expensive.
Boring new IPs (a paid tech demo to know the console, really???).
Well, day 1 anyway, since I am a hardcore NIntendo player and only play Nintendo consoles.
Re: Review: Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist Of Memories & The Envisioned Land (Switch) - A Bold New Direction That Strains The Switch
Just pre purchase on the eShop to get the bonus costume.
Can not wait to also buy the bikini DLC.

Re: Nintendo & Pokémon Company Had An "Adversarial Relationship", Say Former NOA Staffers
The Pokémon Company International - aka the USofA branch, is the worst.
They hire cheaters to comment, have prejudice against Brazil, do not give us an option to use the METRIC system in the games.
Almost as bad as Doug Bowser at the head of NoA.
Re: Best Super Mario Games Of All Time
No.
Super Mario World is not even in the best 5 Mario games.
Re: Talking Point: What We Expect From The Switch 2 Direct
Lies of P. C'mon. ¬¬
I just want new series AND new games in dormant series.
Re: Poll: Will You Trade In Your Switch When Switch 2 Arrives?
@Ryu_Niiyama
No.
Things here do not work the same way in USofA.
But sometimes, some people tries to return the items (mostly when I let someone within a bus).
Re: Poll: Will You Trade In Your Switch When Switch 2 Arrives?
After the transfers, I will do what I always do with my old consoles.
I will let them, fully charged, in public spaces. The first one who sees, can claim it.

Re: Nintendo's Punch-Out!! Series May Be Dead And Buried For Good
Only people from USofA would complain about something like this.
They are the ones that complained against Smash Bros. "stereotypes" too.
Re: 'Switch 2' Is Projected To Be The "Clear Winner" In The Next Console Generation
The console do not even exist yet.
I remember a lot of people and companies saying that the Wii U would be the winner...
Re: Surprise Leak Reveals Lenovo Is Releasing Another Switch-Like Gaming Handheld
@Bolt_Strike
But they have. Its games.
A console it is just a box to play games and Nintendo has the best games in the market.

Re: The Game Awards 2024: Date, Time - How And When To Watch
@Lightsiyd This.
We are talking about an event 4 decades old...
But all the lights go to the son of a filmmaker.
Re: The Game Awards 2024: Date, Time - How And When To Watch
I would love to see data regarding audience outside USofA.
It seems that most people on other countries (besides Brazil, because they think that everything from USofA is good) do not care at all.
Re: Pokémon TCG Pocket Sets Its Sights On "Inappropriate Player Names"
I think that imperial system in the mainline games are also inappropriate. Let us change to metric, TPC!!!
Re: Random: Pokémon Fan Crunches The Numbers To Settle Alpha Sapphire's "Too Much Water" Debate
@PikminMarioKirby Ah, IGN post 2002 was a thing.
I still remember Colin Moriarty saying that Vita would be a success and outsell the 3DS because, unlike the 3DS, it had games!
Re: 50 Best Nintendo DS Games Of All Time
These lists are always subjective.
I would never list a remake of a bad game at the top.
Pokémon Gold and Silver are, for me, the worst in the series. A remake of a bad game is still a bad game.
Gold and Heart Gold are the only Pokémon games that I played for less than 50 hours.
Re: Pokémon TCG Pocket Trainer Drops $1,500 To Collect Every Single Card
@rvcolem1 Why not?
People are free to do what they want with their money. Who are us to dare to tell others how they should spent their money.
Re: Feature: It's 20 Years Since The Launch Of Nintendo's Most Important Console
To this day, still the best console ever launched.
Best Nintendo consoles (for me):
Nintendo DS
Switch
Wii
Re: The Game Awards 2024: Date, Time - How And When To Watch
US of A Game Comercials awardzzzzzz 2024®.
Thanks, but no one outside USofA cares about this and the media should stop to try make this the "official" game of the year award.
Re: Kojima Productions Reportedly Gains Full Control Of Death Stranding IP
Please, no.
Kojima makes walking simulators and interactive movies. I do not think that Nintendo fans would embrace his, ehr, games.
Re: Random: "I'm A Pretty Normal Person" - Miyamoto Disputes 'Genius' Label
@GamerGrandpa NintendoEverything, a much smaller site, uses a real person to translate some pieces.
Nintendo Life is huge, I really do not know why they still uses machine translation.
Re: Random: "I'm A Pretty Normal Person" - Miyamoto Disputes 'Genius' Label
Sigh.
I love you guys, I have been here for over 10 years. But it is time to use a real japanese translator for these kind of pieces.
Nintendo Life network is huge, has great fans and the content should match this.
:/
Re: Random: Kit & Krysta Discuss The "Drama" Behind The Switch Reveal Trailer

Reggie said in his book that he tried to push the 3DS into US$ 200 for its launch in USofA. Iwata asked about US$ 219 or US$ 229, but Reggie was adamant on US$ 200.
In the end, NCL choose US$ 250.

Re: Random: Kit & Krysta Discuss The "Drama" Behind The Switch Reveal Trailer
Former Nintendo of America employees. They had 0 knowledge about things at NCL though.
Good thing that Nintendo of America has almost zero input at decisions. NCL would never let its USofA subsidiary to dictate things.
In the end, as Kit said:
Western media usually overrate the importance of NoA.
