See, it's videos like this that are the reason fans are always miserable.
And another thing, a Nintendo Direct full of nothing but Ports and Remasters would be extremely disappointing to me. We run the risk of becoming obsessed with them and not getting any new titles.
Are we all going to be moaning about Mario Odyssey not being ported to the "Switch 2" in 4-5 years time? Probably by the looks of things.
I don't think we should be celebrating this. It's bad news that Nintendo failed in a market with such a huge potential player base.
It's also curious that they would choose to do less on mobile, when if they put more effort in they might end up creating something with the kind of success of Pokemon Go.
Odd decision. They should continue investing. There's no guarantee their next console will be as big a hit as the Switch. History proves that. They're putting all their eggs in one basket.
@0rwellians0n The double standards in your posting is staggering. You yell "respect my opinion" and then call people names and make childish remarks about people who have a different opinion to you. And then you tell people not to call people names while you've done the exact same! In the same post!
@Damo Fair point. IPs do get picked up by new owners, but there's bound to be some that don't and would be fair game for Freeware endeavors. But there's a bit of a difference between that and emulating games that are still being sold by the owner.
Ladies. You don't need lingerie to make your man or woman happy! Believe me, my other half looks incredible in their regular underwear and I'm sure you do too.
Ironically, when she's walking around in it, I want to get them off her. But when she leaves a pair lying around, I want her to put them away! #relationships
Nintendo will DIE! Just like Apple and Disney did.
Oh wait.
But seriously, it'll be fine. Miyamoto has spoken several times about mentoring the next generation. His skills and philosophy will live on after he's gone.
If Gamevice think their patent has been infringed or their idea stolen by Nintendo, they have every right to take it to court. That's not unreasonable is it?
By moaning about it and even hoping they go bankrupt and lose their livelihoods, you're effectively saying it's ok for big companies to steal ideas.
Are you really saying that if you invented and patented something today you should have no right to defend it when it's stolen? That's an extremely worrying and frankly childish mentality.
I'm not saying Gamevice are in the right. But if they think they are , they should be fighting it.
Great game! Would love a sequel. Personally I like the original PS2 version best. The motion controls and the cuts to the Wii version made it a bit disappointing.
I stared at the Japan boxart for a while before I voted for it. I couldn't decide if it was fun or derpy. I eventually decided it was ok and interesting. Otherwise it would have been that lovely black marble European box
Europe. That style is very reminiscent of the time. You could use that for an action movie title. The Japan one is forgettable. And the US one... just no.
Not surprised Japan is winning this one. I am surprised the US version is second though. Look at that hideous bit of the black border sticking out! All wrong.

Re: Pokémon Unite, An Online Team Battle Game, Revealed For Switch And Mobile
If they hadn't called it a "Big announcement", they would have saved themselves a lot of disappointed fans.
Re: Reminder: "Big" Pokémon Project To Be Revealed In Pokémon Presents Livestream Tomorrow
To be honest, any of the following would make me happy;
Pokemon Let's Go Johto.
Pokemon D&P remakes.
Pokemon Stadium 3
A new Pokemon RPG in the style of Coliseum/Gale of Darkness.
A Pokemon MMO Project.
They can't really disappoint me unless they announce something underwhelming like a new mobile title or something.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #47 - Shadowrun
The bonus one gets my vote!
They're all good in their own way, but I would vote for Japan if I had to choose.
Re: The Remake Of The Classic Cel-Shaded Shooter XIII Launches This November
No thanks. The original sucked balls, in my humble opinion.

Re: Nintendo 3DS Emulator Citra Comes To Android Smartphones
Still piracy though innit. It's not their stuff to preserve. That's up to the developers and publishers.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #44 - Super C / Probotector II
Don't really care if they're not in the game, EU box art is quality. The American and Japan boxarts are a bit forgettable.
Re: Lots Of Sonic Games Are Discounted On Nintendo Switch And 3DS Right Now (North America)
@RodSD64 Sonic Forces is the worst Sonic game since Sonic 06. It is a heap of turds. Save your money.

Re: Random: "Games I Want Ported To Nintendo Switch" Twitter Hashtag Goes Viral In Japan
If they did all these ports, they wouldn't have time to make new games.
It would also harm the sale of new games. Store shelf and eShop space would be taken up by ports, meaning less visibility for new stuff.
It's nice to dream of our favourite games on our current hardware. But there's reasons they don't port everything.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #39 - Wetrix
Thank you for choosing a game with 3 very different box arts 🙏 It's more fun that way

Good. Safety of staff first.
Re: Gamevice Is Back With New Patent-Infringement Complaint Against Nintendo, Wants To Block US Switch Sales
If I can offer a counter argument;
If Gamevice think their patent has been infringed or their idea stolen by Nintendo, they have every right to take it to court. That's not unreasonable is it?
By moaning about it and even hoping they go bankrupt and lose their livelihoods, you're effectively saying it's ok for big companies to steal ideas.
Are you really saying that if you invented and patented something today you should have no right to defend it when it's stolen? That's an extremely worrying and frankly childish mentality.
I'm not saying Gamevice are in the right. But if they think they are , they should be fighting it.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #19 - Contra III: The Alien Wars
I'm just pleased we got to vote on three very different looking box arts this week. All unique and wonderful in their own way.
Re: Did Hideki Kamiya And Ikumi Nakamura Just Tease An Okami Sequel?
Great game! Would love a sequel. Personally I like the original PS2 version best. The motion controls and the cuts to the Wii version made it a bit disappointing.
Re: Random: Pokémon Made A Bizarre Appearance On Strictly Come Dancing This Weekend

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #7 - Star Fox
All a bit grim, but I think Japan wins this time.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #6 - Mega Man 3
Europe. That style is very reminiscent of the time. You could use that for an action movie title. The Japan one is forgettable. And the US one... just no.

Honk Zelda. I'm honking getting this instead.
Re: Review: Grandia HD Collection - Two Classic Games, Shoddily Remastered

Re: Poll: Have You Ever Had Problems With Nintendo Hardware?
Oh and the rubber on my original 3DS analogue stick came off ages ago but still works fine.
Re: Poll: Have You Ever Had Problems With Nintendo Hardware?
I had the broken DS Lite hinge and a GameCube that stopped reading discs. Both got a lot of use though so not that surprised.
