@GrailUK I'm not bashing the Wii U, I think it's a great system. But sadly it's sales are very close to the Dreamcast. The very console that made Sega give up on the hardware market.
@Angelic_Lapras_King never had a problem with that but that's just me. But still: there's no market for this thing. It's not going to make a ton of money since most people don't play the N64 anymore.
@easygoingthief they won't regret saying it. They said it before. The GBA was also supposed to be supported along the DS. And we all know how that turned out. Nintendo aways say they will keep bringing support and in the end back down from that statement.
Guys, if you see it that way, you clearly ignore how business works. They want you to buy the Switch. In their eyes the Wii U had its time and now they move forward. If they put more stuff in the Wii U Version, why should you buy its successor? Supporting the Wii U would only hurt the Switch and potential sales. And let's not forget that you won't miss out on something substantial. It will only be small stuff that's neat but totally unnecessary.
Are there actual numbers for this game? Like how many people actually play this regularly? Absolutely nobody I know who tried this kept playing. They were at it a month at best. Personally I didn't play it since I don't play smartphone games. I preferred to wait for Sun and Moon.
I will try that Today. I had some issues where it seemed like my Switch lost about 20% even though it was completely turned off. And the next time the 20% were back.
@Damo never said they ONLY bought 51%. And since Microsoft didn't have 90% they couldn't buy out Nintendos share. They had to give it up. So When Microsoft Bought the 51% Nintendo then had to agree to sell their own share. I think we have bit of a misunderstanding here. All I wanted to say was that Nintendo probably had no use for their share AFTER Microsoft bought them. That's it. I'm not saying they had no chance of buying rare themselves.
@Kid_Sickarus I'm not saying he's wrong. But that is still not what I was talking about! I said that it made no sense for them to keep the 49% after Microsoft bought the remaing 51%. After that their hands were tied. What is so hard to understand about that fact? If it's their own fault or not was never the subject of that conversation.
@Damo yeah, but still: that's not what we we're talking about. At all. And since we we're talking about what happend after Microsoft bought them and nothing else, it is not irrelevant to us.
I have a few amiibo. I have a few Legend of Zelda ones, the only line I'm trying to complete. I also have both Cloud and Bayonetta versions because I like the characters. And then I got the orange Inkling girl for Splatoon and the pink Inkling girl for Splatoon 2. That's it. I'm not after all the unlockable stuff in every game. I will probably get the 3 pack for Super Mario Odyssey because I like the wedding variants and the upcoming Samus one. Other than that, I don't care right now.
If they really want to make a Mega Man movie I think they should go with Mega Man X instead of the original. That way they could also include Zero. Both characters together could be pretty cool.
Of course it's not some big news. At E3 they said they have nothing more to announce since it's more than a year until the "core Pokémon RPG" on Switch. And we know about Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.
Hope they are secretly working on something new already to keep the Switch going. I really like ARMS but a lot of players take the fun out of it for me when they try to land one or two hits and then run away till the time is up.

Re: Report Suggests Nintendo Switch Manufacturing Could Hit 18 Million This Year
That would be amazing news if it would really happen. The Switch outselling it's predecessor in just a year!

@bolt05 How is that Nintendos fault? They were not the ones deciding.

Re: Random: GameCube Listings on Nintendo Websites Raise Hopes for Switch, But Don't Get Too Excited
@ZurapiiYohane they didn't stop making the movies because of the actors. They stopped because they were not profitable.
Re: 'Next Gen Nintendo 64 Controller' from Retro Fighters Smashes Kickstarter Target
I don't see the appeal but if people want it...

Re: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Version 1.3.1 Is Now Live
@Cooligan well, Wii U is dead and has been for a long time. Can't blame a company that cuts off something that doesn't make them money.
Re: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Version 1.3.1 Is Now Live
Yeah. Sure. Why not?
Re: Upcoming Monster Hunter XX Demo Will Give All Switch Owners a Taste of Japanese Release
Are we still hoping it gets localized? I thought Capcom already said it's gonna be Japan exclusive.
Re: Resident Evil Revelations 1 & 2 Are Coming To Switch Later This Year
I guess I'll get the collectors edition. Never played them and the price is fine for 2 games.

Re: Hey! Pikmin Shows Nintendo Still Has A Soft Spot For Rare
@NEStalgia they lost $125 per console. And it's said that Microsoft lost $4 billion in 4 years because of this.

Re: Hey! Pikmin Shows Nintendo Still Has A Soft Spot For Rare
@Damo we didn't talk about Nintendos chance buying them. We talked about what Nintendo did after Microsoft did. Different story.
Re: Hey! Pikmin Shows Nintendo Still Has A Soft Spot For Rare
@timson72
They didn't really have a choice. They only owned 49% and Microsoft bought the rest. So they wouldn't have had any use for Rare anyway.
Re: Editorial: amiibo Has Stalled, Because Nintendo is Forgetting What Makes It Special
I have a few amiibo. I have a few Legend of Zelda ones, the only line I'm trying to complete. I also have both Cloud and Bayonetta versions because I like the characters.

I'm interested in the first one. Just because I haven't played you don't know Jack in a loooong time.

Re: "Lack Of Buttons" Might Prevent LawBreakers From Coming To Switch
@Dakt since he says they can make it work on Xbox one I assume he didn't include the touch pad.

Re: It's "A Bit Sad" That Switch Isn't More Powerful, Says THQ Nordic
I'm sick of these comments. Why should visuals be vital for Gameplay. The most amazing looking game can still be bad if it isn't enjoyable to play.
Re: Poll: Are You Excited About the Super NES Classic Edition?
I don't really see the appeal. Starfox 2 is not enough for me to make it a must have.
Re: Random: Here's The Reason Why The North American Super NES Looks So Different
