Really happy AC:NH released right at the time things were getting bad. I'm stuck at home here in South Florida and all I've been doing the past fews days is putting crazy hours into that game.
So far this game is everything I hoped for. I went nuts last night and played for about 7 hours. I haven't woken up excited to play more of a game (like I am right now) since BotW.
Figure there are 300 people in the theater and the Switch costs $300 (and at-cost it must be less, the big N never sells hardware at a loss) so that's $90k total max. They get all this good press for what I assume is well less than a typical ad buy.
The whole point of videogaming is to get as fat as possible while pretending to be in shape by controlling various Adonis like characters and sitting on the couch pounding Pringles and Skittles and Mountain Dew Game Fuel.
My life goal is to get on the news when I die with the headline: "Local man needs to have his wall broken down and crane brought in to remove his corpse".
Sega does what NintenDON'T...yea like get driven out of the new hardware business thanks to not knowing how to have your JP and US teams work together (along with many other factors) and drive your major IP into the ground with tons of painfully awful blue blur games.

The Mario Bros movie was better.
Re: Random: We Didn't Expect To See Someone Playing Pokémon On Stage At The Grammys 2020

Re: Feature: Nintendo's 2019 - A Cracking Year In Review
I wish I was playing Animal Crossing Switch right now.
Re: Honk! Untitled Goose Game Has Now Sold More Than One Million Digital Copies
1,000,000 times better than Mario 3, Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, BotW, Galaxy 1 & 2, Majora's and Odyssey combined.
Re: Rumour: Metroid Prime 4's Environment Work Might Be Outsourced

Thanks to this review I just bought the game. Good stuff NL team!
I've never played Red Dead seeing how I'm a Nintendo loyalist but I did play GUN on Gamecube and remember loving that game. This reminds me of that.
It's DL'ing now, looking forward to spending my afternoon in the west.

Sweet.
While Madden NFL is what my heart truly desires, this will be nice to have on Switch.

Smart move.
Re: Nintendo Shows Off New Mexican-Inspired Clothing In Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Just another reminder that Christmas is ruined because of the AC delay.
Life is a bleak wasteland of disappointment.
Re: Isabelle's Twitter Account Will No Longer Provide Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Updates

Spawn Wave is the best.
Re: Did Hideki Kamiya And Ikumi Nakamura Just Tease An Okami Sequel?
I think I'm one of the weirdos who enjoyed the DS game more than the Wii version or remastered Switch port.
It would be nice to get another title in the series.
Re: Twin-Stick Shooter Battle Planet - Judgement Day Touches Down On Switch Today
I'm glad they exist and people like them but I just can't seem to enjoy the core control scheme on twin stick shooters.

I will only shop at dedicated Pokemon Snap stores.
Re: Talking Point: Could Nintendo's Game Design Prowess Solve Discoverability Problems On Switch eShop?
The eShop seems fine to me.
Smaller outlets have to work extra hard to make titles that get recognition. Working your way up is never an easy task.
Re: Link's Awakening Sold More Than 430,000 Copies Across Europe In Its First Three Days
That's funny because 430,000 is the exact number of framerate hiccups I've noticed while playing the game.

Stop trying to ruin my dreams Nintendo.

Re: Video: Nintendo Labo Director Tsubasa Sakaguchi Discusses VR Kit Development
BotW LABO update was my biggest disappointment with the Switch so far.
