@UnbreakableAlex Looks good. I might give it a go to see if it's as easy as they say. I'd still be interested to see if Nintendo could create an interface as simple as the Mario Maker one.
@Silly_G Fair point. They were already spending money on some of the things I listed anyway. But they'd still have to research and write a script for the voice actress.
I still think they're looking to save a bit of money by not bringing Palutena's actress back in another 5 times.
@Silly_G and a team to record it. And writer's and researchers for the lines. Extra programming too. It's really not as easy or cheap as you think. And it's such a small thing that the majority of players will miss so it's just not worth it.
Nintendo, or any other publisher, would be mad not to release their digital sales for this combined list. Especially when the UK market is 80% digital. Imagine only 20% of your games being counted while everyone else has 100%. You'd never make the top 10 again.
One of my favourite games ever! As much as I'd like a remake, I don't think we can trust Sega not too f it up. Heck, you only have to look at the ports of SA1 over the years. Every single one has been worse than the previous, including DX. If they can't even handle a port, they certainly can't handle a full remake.
Sega's Christmas present to us all should be a promise to keep embracing this version of the Sonic universe. Make stuff like Sonic Forces and Sonic Boom if they must but don't neglect Classic Sonic!
@LetsGoSwitch Quite the opposite. It's been getting more popular ever since the social elements were added. Ironically, if the friends and trading hadn't been added, he wouldn't have been able to do this.
@AlexSora89 Fair enough dude. This is the first time I've heard his story. On today's internet, full of attention seekers and amoral people who'll do anything to go viral, it makes us all more weary of any story.
For want of better words, I wish the kid the best of days.
Not to sound horrible but... He's not just lying to get an early copy right?
"Thank you for the early copy of Smash Nintendo! I've posted everything on my YouTube channel! Oh, and I got better! Thanks for helping me get the game first everyone!"
@RadioHedgeFund Probably not. I seem to recall Magikarp being quite common shortly after the Mew challenge came out so it wasn't so hard to get the candies needed. If you're not near water, I suppose it would be hard at the moment.
I finished Paper Mario Colour Splash last night. It was great. They card battling system is annoying at first but becomes a lot more fun when you have to start using more then just jump and hammer cards. And it's so witty. It also has a dark undertone.
This really shouldn't be going on in 2018. They do it because it's cheaper then sourcing ethical materials. End of. It's greedy companies.
If there is anything good to say about this, at least it sounds like they are moving in the right direction by reducing the percentage of materials from these slave driving war mongers.
During the boom, people were saying 100 million Switch units would sell. That was always based on it having 5 amazing years like it had in its first year. And 5 boom years in a row was always unlikely. Switch could still do 50 million and that would be healthy enough.
@Bliquid hmm. Can't actually disagree with you there and shows with layers being better. As a Megaman fan, I want a show like that. But from day 1, I wasn't interested in this particular Megaman show, because it was obvious right away it wasn't for we old fans. Doesn't mean it won't be good for the younglings. And if it's good, it might encourage them to make another show for us oldiewonks. They'll be less inclined to do that if we call for their offices to be burned down though. That's why it's frustrating to me to see people react badly.
The negativity is unjustified. This looks like it will appeal to its target audience. Aka, not us. Don't be butt hurt because a kids TV show turns out to be made for kids.

Still £42 though. Majority of new releases can be found cheaper than that.

And yeah, the DLC is pricey!

Re: Doctor Eggman, Metal Sonic And Zavok Join Team Sonic Racing
Still doesn't look anywhere near as good as either of the All Star Racing games.

Re: Feature: Reader's Choice Game Of The Year 2018 Results
The trouble with all GOTY lists is people have short memories and end up voting for whatever big release came out in November/December.

Re: Celebi Is Headed To Pokémon GO For All Players Next Week
@RadioHedgeFund Disagree. It was the long term challenge the game needed. Catching Mew wouldn't be special if it was easy.
Re: Celebi Is Headed To Pokémon GO For All Players Next Week
Hooray! I enjoyed the Mew quest. It had some challenging tasks. And as a collector, it will fill another gap

I hope the long wait was so they could get it right.
People who moan about it not being out yet would have been the biggest moaners if it had come out broken.

Ahhh, just like the Wii days. Shovelware city!
Still, good to see developers have some confidence. Some great stuff hidden on that comprehensive list too.

Re: Poll: Is Your Nintendo Switch Cracking Under The Pressure?
Some of these will be caused by carelessness. Some from general wear and tear. You can't expect a portable to stay pristine forever.
