@Kiwi2 : the old units get sent to China for disassembly / destruction. That’s what happened to the 3DS Louvre units that preceded the current New 3DS Louvre units.
Since I don't live in Europe, I've only been to a GAME store during a visit to either Paris or Spain. They had a great booth at a game event in Barcelona where I lucked out and picked up a Metroid Samus Returns Collector's Edition.
Seems like something Sony would have done instead. They love using click wheels in their Clié PDAs. They may have had a patent at some point for scroll wheels that could also be pressed in to enter the selection.
The Miracle Piano was an accessory that also only worked with 1 game. But the company leveraged the costs by making it for different platforms, NES, SNES, Genesis, and PC.
The problem with the first one was some moves were completely borked. The game had a terrible time telling if you moved your legs forward or back or to the side. This is because there’s no leg strap, unlike Ring Fit. The company wants to make sure it’s getting download purchases too so there continues to be no leg strap. The solution in this new version? Allow the user to remove some of the exercises from the routine.
This is terrible because now there will be more of those stupid comic book speculators jumping into the video game market. They are the ones that killed the sports card aftermarket and comic book aftermarket.
I'm guessing there will be a patch so any physical copies already made would have music replacement? A similar thing happened to a version of Little Big Planet which had some background music that some Muslims found offensive. There was a patch in that case.
@Carnictis Bricking has always held me off from getting another dock. Every Amazon review that I've read has mention of bricking. So I actually had to play Ring Fit Adventure during a trip on the Switch screen
@RyanSilberman I think it’s because there was no Volumes 1 and 2 on the Switch. Rather than just release as a Volume 3 (like on the XBox One and PS4), it’s a compilation of all 3 volumes here.
I literally received an email from Amazon telling me my Metroid Prime 4 pre-order date was changed to December 31, 2019. I know that's not the real date it comes out, but wanted to note that it got pushed back.

Re: ReedPop Will No Longer Organise E3 As ESA Looks To Reinvent Future Shows
Rebrand as E4?
Electronic Entertainment Expo Extended
Or E3 Collectors Edition
Or E3 Steelbook Edition
Re: Review: Airoheart - Adequate Adventuring For Link To The Past Obsessives
Kid : "I want the new Zelda game!"
Mom: "We have Zelda at home!"
This game : Zelda at home
How creative can this game be? It even ripped off the Japanese Minish Cap cover.
Re: Random: Kanye West's E3 Game Pitch To Miyamoto Was Apparently "Very Moving"
“No. This is NOT Miyamoto. Go away. “
Re: Zelda-Inspired Adventure 'Airoheart' Could Be A Treat For Fans Of A Link To The Past
It’s sad that the new drawn image is a re-skin of the Japanese Minish Cap box art. Pose and expression are just re-traced. Low effort.

Pretty sure that cat is a pre-made Unity asset.

If the Peppa Pig game has their teacher Ms. Gazelle, then there’s a vampire in the game. Google the canonical clip that calls her out as a vampire.

This game has Mr. Potato in it!

Re: Animal Crossing Nominated For New York Game Awards' GOTY, Will Be Co-Hosted By Reggie Fils-Aimé
I think the names of the awards are pretty cringe worthy.... kind of like sandwich names on the menu board of a deli for tourists.

Would I enjoy Yooka-Laylee if I had loved and completed Banjo-Kazooie but don't have the patience for that game anymore?
(I bought an Xbox One just for Rare Replay and couldn't stand to sit through the game and only finished maybe 1/4 of it during my replay).

This is terrible because now there will be more of those stupid comic book speculators jumping into the video game market. They are the ones that killed the sports card aftermarket and comic book aftermarket.
Re: Open-World Cyberpunk RPG Dex Comes To Nintendo Switch This July
Anyone agree that the character animation seems janky? I think there should've been some more frames of animation.

What a way to waste the license. Miyamoto must be disappointed.

Re: Limited Run Reveals Streets Of Rage 4 Classic Edition, Pre-Orders Open On 20th March
I wonder how many people will accidentally order "Streets of Red" which is also available for pre-order at LimitedGames.
Re: Limited Run Reveals Streets Of Rage 4 Classic Edition, Pre-Orders Open On 20th March
@jswhitfield8 The PS4 special edition does say "Genesis" on the plastic case.

Re: Hands On: The Dongii Is A Switch Dock That Fits In Your Pocket, And We Love It
@Kalmaro Do you need to use that along with the original Nintendo Switch power adapter?
Re: Guide: All amiibo Available - Zelda, Smash Bros., Animal Crossing And More
@james_squared : I like how the Mario cereal box in your link is labeled "Delicious Amiibo"
Re: Guide: All amiibo Available - Zelda, Smash Bros., Animal Crossing And More
I don't think this list is complete. There is at least one Amiibo missing that I know of : Box Boy (Qbby).
