Re: Review: Fe (Switch eShop)

IronMan28

@PhilKenSebben Dtoid is honestly one of my go to places for news, though. Community interaction reminds me of 1-Up, and I mean that in the best possible way.

@PhilKenSebben You joke, but they can be hit or miss with their reviews. Even since Jim Sterling left a while ago, they're still somewhat amateur-ish.

Re: Splatoon 2 Crosses The Two Million Marker As Nintendo Titles Swamp The Japanese Charts

IronMan28

Switch still selling well in Japan, and MH moves PS4 consoles, which I'm sure nobody saw coming from a mile away. It'll be interesting to see if Capcom makes a portable version of World for Switch (like they did for 3 or "tri") or just create an original entry. If Nintendo has anything to say about the matter, there will be another MH for Switch at some point. Of course, whenever Pokemon releases for Switch, the console will really take off.

Re: Rumour: Spyro Trilogy Coming To Multiple Formats Next Year After PS4 Exclusivity Ends

IronMan28

I have zero nostalgia for Crash or Spyro since I only had a PS1 for about 2 years, and that was to play FFVII, which I never beat. My neighbors had a PS for a while and I would watch them play Crash amd Spyro, which seemed okay at best. Since I've never been much of a PS guy, this doesn't seem that interesting to me, but I guess for some people the idea of Spyro and Crash on Switch seems cool.

Re: Ubisoft Is the Leading Third-Party Publisher on Nintendo Switch

@dougphisig the English accents in XC are awesome and XC2 looks great as well, so I can't blame you for keeping the English vo's on. Maybe I'll just play it when the TV isn't in use.

@datamonkey2 Rabbids looks good, but I'm honestly leaning toward XC2 atm. I like the idea of something different, but I also love the XC games.

@Fandabidozi I agree, some people here would go insane if that happened. To be honest, I'm surprised it didn't get a 10/10 since it got a 10 on Destructoid. While NL and Dtoid obviously are two different organizations, there tends to be a similar level of appreciation for games like this between each outlet. Either way, it really does look like a hoot.

Re: Nintendo Believes That The Switch Could Sell Beyond The Usual 5-6 Year Console Life Cycle

IronMan28

As soon as Nintendo revealed the Switch, it was obvious that the system would have multiple iterations. Nintendo supporting the system for longer than most of its consoles is an extension of that thought. Nothing too surprising about this news, but it's good to see Nintendo acknowledge that Switch is portable and that Nintendo handhelds last longer than their consoles, although the admission seems passive, it's still reassuring.

Also, can we all just collectively admit that Switch is replacing the 3DS? Seems like NL dancing around that issue.

Re: Sounds Like Bandai Namco Really Is Working on Metroid Prime 4

IronMan28

@westman98 My Nintendo News seems to think it's Ridge Racer that Singapore is working on, which seems weird to me. Unless it's somehow open world with shooting, I'm not convinced it'll be good. But stranger things have worked out well, like chicken, egg and orange fig spread on a breakfast sandwich.

Re: Nvidia Shares Swell As Nintendo Switch Continues To Sell Like Hot Cakes

IronMan28

@rjejr I would like to point out that a Nintendo fan site spinning something to favor Nintendo is expected. Assuming they wouldn't do that would be like expecting Fox News to run a negative piece about a Republican politician. In any case, Switch is doing well, and I'm sure Nvidia is okay with that. Also, I prefer investing in companies that provide software to AI companies, like Hortonworks or Mulesoft.

@rjejr Even with using older Nvidia chips, the Switch will be around for a while. The market still thinks short to medium term, long term is too unpredictable for anyone with any idea about how economics works. Regardless, I said it contributes, not how much. Speculating on how much is a fool's errand if you're the average consumer like us.
