Everyone is all excited about the direct, and I agree it was good but it was a major disappointment to me that AC was delayed and that kinda spoiled everything else.
I knew being a man of Dutch heritage would one day pay off. Today is finally that day. I'll be skipping Nintendo's e3 Driect now, nothing they could announce could possibly top this amazing news!
Thank goodness for this update. I haven't been able to sleep since the game's announcement, being so consumed with worry about where it fits in the Yooka-Laylee canon.
@MajorasLapdog Yes, I have played it and it's kinda a jerk move to assume I'm lying just because I think it's a bad game. I bought on 12.15.17, the day after it was released on Switch, for $39.99. (I keep a Google Doc of all the dates, names and prices of the Switch games I buy to see how much I spend every year.) My Switch says I've played it for "3 hours or more" because I wanted to like it. Some parts were fun but overall I think the bad far outweighed the good.
What these guys did back in the N64 days means they deserve at least one more shot to do something right after their previous disaster of a game. I look forward to checking out their new work.
I'm getting more and more excited for this one. Adventure mode makes me think of Diddy Kong Racing, which everyone knows was the best Mario Kart game ever made.
Man, I've blown so much cash on Switch software...I say as I'm currently downloading RE4 and Assassins Creed 3.
Looks fun. I probably won't get both this and Crash Team Racing though. I'll wait to see how that one is received but right now I'm leaning towards getting Crash.
@Skalgrim I don't really want to write an essay so I'll boil it down to 2 main points:
1. I don't trust the integrity of their reviews.
2. I believe they have a clear political agenda that has permeated every aspect of their company. They attempt to push it on their audience in both subtle and no-so-subtle ways depending on what parts of their content you consume.
Maybe I'm wrong, but that's how I felt when I would go there so I've decided not to anymore.
The screenshots look great and the game sounds fun but I'll pass on watching the trailer. I have no interest in supporting IGN in any way, even with a single view.
Jools seems like a nice guy and I have purchased nearly every game Renegade Kid and Atooi has ever released, along with supporting the Chicken Wiggle Kickstarter (my first and only Kickstarter) but this is really, really disappointing.
December 18 was the target window for Chicken Wiggle Switch and now it looks like it will be December 19. I'm glad he is trying to make it as good a game as possible but all the good will Jools built up over the years is now gone in my eyes. And this could have been avoided if he had simply put a more realistic release date on his Kickstarter.
I am truly, thoroughly disappointed with Jools and Atooi.
It will be a Hulk Hogan Simulator where you spend your time copulating with your friend's wife, getting divorced, using tech billionaires to sue liberal media outlets, dropping racial slurs, and watching your son go to prison.
Sega allowing a rando Aussie fan to make a game was the best thing they've done in a long while. Sonic Team should be disbanded and made to complete a Game of Thrones style walk of shame.
And yes, I do have a Japanese account but it's a hassle to buy those cards or get my credit card to work for Yen. I did it once for Kamiko and that was enough. I'll wait patiently for it to come to the USA eShop.
Took me 45 mins to build the goggles, I was entertained by the minigames for like 10 mins and Zelda (the only reason I bought the thing) is awful. This was a huge waste of $40. I'd have more fun putting a plastic bag over my head and leaving it there until I suffocated.
So far this is my only true disappointment in a first party Nintendo product since the start of the Switch era.

I have it on good authority the next Pokemon direct will be held on October thirtynineteenth.

Re: The Director Of Sonic Mania Adventures Might Be Working On The Blue Blur's Movie Redesign
Good to hear, but at this point unless there are MAJOR re-shoots and editing, it will be nothing more than polishing a turd.

Re: Strictly Limited Releasing Brazil-Inspired Beat 'Em Up 99Vidas In Physical Form
Good idea to release games with Brazil as the specific demo. There's a solid chance they will still be buying it to play on Switch in 2080.

It will run at 240p.
Re: Video: Watch 20 Minutes Of The Adventure Mode In Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled

Re: Japanese Charts: Nintendo Switch Games Take Up Eight Of The Top Ten Spots
Nintendo's failing. A successful company would have taken 11 of the top 10 spots.
Re: Review: Team Sonic Racing - A Safe Effort Which Lags Well Behind Mario Kart 8
Looks fun. I probably won't get both this and Crash Team Racing though. I'll wait to see how that one is received but right now I'm leaning towards getting Crash.

@RupeeClock Ya got me! I googled "obscure Pokemon Go" cause I thought it would make my dumb joke better.
Re: Once Again, EA Angers Switch Fans By Falsely Advertising FIFA 19 Content
All the sins of EA (and there is a long list) could be wiped out in a second if they simply announce Madden 20 for Switch!
Re: Pokémon GO's Next Community Day Features Slakoth, Date And Times Now Set
My whole family was wiped out after I led them out into the middle of a busy street to catch a Meltan. I'll never forgive myself.
Re: Citizens Of Earth Is Being Mysteriously Removed From The 3DS eShop In Japan
Never got through it but I enjoyed it for about 4 hours or so. It's worth a cheap buy.

Re: WWE 2K Dev Not Happy With Recent Games, Will Create New Wrestling IP To Re-Energise Staff
It will be a Hulk Hogan Simulator where you spend your time copulating with your friend's wife, getting divorced, using tech billionaires to sue liberal media outlets, dropping racial slurs, and watching your son go to prison.
But it will run 1080/60 on Switch!

Re: Takashi Iizuka Believes The Blue Blur Has "Turned A Corner" Following The Release Of Sonic Mania
Sega allowing a rando Aussie fan to make a game was the best thing they've done in a long while. Sonic Team should be disbanded and made to complete a Game of Thrones style walk of shame.

Re: Sega Ages Line Struggling To Appeal In Japan, Interest Overseas Better Than Expected
I'm excited to play Virtua Racing on my Switch.

Re: Review: Bird Game + - A Colourless Effort That Never Truly Takes Off

Re: Random: Flip Grip Inventor Creates "New Nintendo Switch DS"
I've always thought the Switch was way too thin. Glad there is finally a solution to that major design flaw.

Re: Nintendo Announces Mario Kart Tour Closed Beta Test For Android Devices
A Hotel Mario Mobile game would be so popular it would crash the Google Play for the rest of time.
Mario Kart Tour...Meh, maybe if my Switch, 3ds, and ODroid-Go all break I will consider DL'ing it.
