I hate data miners. How are we supposed to be surprised by anything these days when they spoil it for everyone?

But... Why?

@w00dm4n I know, I played through Sun. Just didn't play Moon yet.

Wii U owners should be able to bitch about these useless items, too!

Guess I'm in luck. Never started my journey on my Moon copy. So now I can get them all.

Not interested since I don't have any of the games in physical Form anymore.

130 Mio. Seems tough. Hasn't happened since the DS. And not since the PS2 for homeconsoles. 70 Mio. Would still be a resounding success. Especially when you look at the trajectory Nintendos homeconsoles had, except for the Wii.

Why do they bring the stability to a inevitably dying system? Who cares about 3DS?!? They should port the stability to Switch or else im done with Nintendo!

@NinNin yeah, and it is in the Charts.

@Agramonte there was no 3rd party game that could have been in the Charts for August. Mario + Rabbids will probably be counted for September.

@Kalmaro he meant in the Charts.

Can't wait for these. I'm just waiting to pre-order them.

@MoonKnight7 ha, nice one!

@Cartune I'm actually okay with the gifts being useless. That way WiiU players who feel disadvantaged by this can calm down. There were actually a lot of people unhappy that this would be Switch exclusive.

@jswhitfield8 gotta demand that sweet, sweet loot.

I'm wondering where those people are that were complaining that they don't get these goodies on WiiU.

@Tibob it is a vicious cycle, as already described in this article.

Going cheaper for digital could possibly bring its own problems. If you sell it for less digitally, why bother with a physical copy at all? If there's not a physical copy, and that would have to happen a lot, we could have another PSP Go situation where retailers wouldn't even sell the hardware. And I don't know how other people see it but I always prefer physical over digital.

@Tibob Sure, I give you that regarding the Street Fighter II thing. That was just a cash grab, releasing the 700th version of a game that's probably older than their target audience. What im talking about are more the games that are released in multiple platforms like LA Noire will be. Or new games.

And yes, the seller is responsible for making the product attractive to us consumers.

But if it is, we will have to accept that some games may be a bit more expensive than on other platforms right now. And that's not the fault of the 3rd parties. They exist to make money. And I can also understand that they aren't willing to accept a smaller profit margin when the consumer base isn't that big yet.

@Tibob Business does indeed work that way. If you put money into it, you have to make money back. And that only happens if consumers buy your products. That's how it goes. If they don't you can't cover production costs. If you can't cover production costs you can't afford to support a (for now) unproven platform like the Switch. And a few people who buy it in a year or two just doesn't cut it. That would be a big time loss. Big Budget Games work in a similar way how movies do. The big money is made in the first few weeks when people are talking about it, or possibly even buzzing about it when the product is really good. Later on, a few will buy the game/see the movie but that's peanuts compared to what is made initially. So when you want to wait until the price drops, you can just go ahead and don't buy it at all. It won't matter. That's nothing that developed since indie studios became more common. That's a fact. That's how business in the entertainment industry is done.

I'm kinda wondering why a site that's dedicated to the big N would even consider writing remotely positively about the violation of Nintendos intellectual property.

And why would I care as a fan about a project like that? There are only a few possibilities. Either it is terrible and could hurt the brand for people who are not too familiar with it or it's actually good and Nintendo won't do a proper version because it has already been done. Overall I'm absolutely against such things. Because it is not theirs to mess around with. When I create something I don't want others to do with it how they see fit either.

@Tibob then you clearly have no idea how business works. And that's fine. But don't start complaining when the Switch fails to attract 3rd party developers.

You probably meant Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age.

@Tibob sadly, the message would be that the game doesn't sell. Similar to the movie business, it's the first few weeks that count. Everything else doesn't really matter. If a game doesn't sell initially on Switch, there will be 3rd parties that will rethink if they want to put another game on that console.

Man, my forearms are thicker than the thighs of that woman on the left in that picture.

@FTPinkRabbit since I always turn off my Switch, I never encounterd said problems but it is well documented on the internet. If you leave it in sleep mode for longer periods of time, it may start acting up. Things like reacting slowly to input or like someone else replied to me, not getting out of the game anymore.

Sweet reference in the subtitle!

@OorWullie no, they actually didn't. They changed it and then only patented it.

@FTPinkRabbit I think it doesn't consume much power. But that's not why I want that feature. In the case of the Switch it just starts not working properly. And that's probably not that good for the game or the system. So I want to avoid putting it to sleep mode for too long.

@SomeWriter13 I was so excited for Warcraft. But in the end Durotan and Doomhammer were the only characters I cared about... And we all know what happened.

@JAAcebal that's just sleep mode. You can actually turn it off, if you press the on/off button on top of it for a few seconds. THAT'S what I'm talking about.

@FTPinkRabbit yeah, exactly. But it appears some people had some issues after their Switch was in rest/sleep mode for longer periods of time. I think it's not too much to ask and probably not a lot of work to implement it.

@SanderEvers fair enough.
But I have to work and sleep and I prefer my consoles to be turned off when I'm not using them. Not a big fan of sleep mode when it comes to my gaming devices.

One little update that can't come soon enough: being able to turn off the console from the main menu instead of pressing the on/off button for an eternity. Or did I miss another way?

@SomeWriter13 yeah, I that's what I said too. Sometimes, pretty often actually people think they got something great on their hands, everyone involved is excited about it but then it turns out to be such a big pile of crap like Warcraft.

Sure "just make it good" probably was intended to say more than that but I reject saying it at all for the reasons I already mentioned. Just because you shouldn't see things only from a consumer or business standpoint. I want Mega Man to be good, but I'm not lighting my torch if it doesn't, you know?

@NintenNinja16 I also hope it turns out good! As a frequent moviegoer (at least once a week) I've seen my fair share of crap that I wanted to be good. It's a step in the right direction if the people behind this movie are as big fans of the property as it's stated.

If you miss out on this one, don't worry. It's not worth a cent. These games, there were some for the Wii too, are the definition of shovelware.

@SomeWriter13 that still doesn't change what I originally said.

@NintenNinja16 im not a fan of the "just make it good." sentiment. Making movies is incredibly hard. Making a good movie is even harder. It's not like people usually go out and say "I'm gonna make a poopy movie today!"

Random NX joke.

Pre-ordered the 3-pack. Can't wait.

@LegacySmikey you probably missed them then. They're all available on Amazon Germany though.

Well, it's understandable. Uncharted is a proven franchise and the PS4 has way more potential buyers.

@Hillis actually you couldn't peep on people since invisibility would be impossible without being blind. You need light hit your eyes to see things. And when you're invisible, that doesn't happen.

Totally forgot that TGS is still coming. Maybe we get some news on those unannounced games that were teased back in July.

Can't help but to be happy about that. All those people obsessed with Marina and hating on Pearl deserve that. It's so weird that they get so worked up because of them. I'm glad that I think they're equally annoying so I don't care who's on what side.

What a cash grab.

Sadly I'm most of the time not into indies. Especially the 8-bit ones. I'm sick of all that retro stuff that depends on nostalgia. It has been done to death.

Street Fighter II is the best counter argument for people who complain about the various versions of Skyrim.

@Tibob I don't think that's the whole reason. All sales for consoles dropped around that time.

If this would come out in the west, I'd think about getting it instead of World. But since I don't believe it will, I'll wait for World and after that I won't need XX.
