Re: Take A Look At This Neat Visualisation Of Nintendo's Console Sales

JeongersGaming

It would be funny to see a version with the virtual boy included, I bet it would be like finding a needle in a haystack. It would also be cool to see an extended image going back to 1983 to see the complete sales.

@twztid13 both of the arrow pointers represent the 25.9 million. It's just the way they chose to visualise the ratio between handheld and console sales with the blobs.

Re: Dragon Quest XI S And Dragon Quest Builders 2 Receive Permanent Price Reductions

@Bustacap Weren't Doom and Skyrim actually published by Nintendo on Switch? Or distributed, rather? On Amazon UK, the listings for those ask you if you want to got to "The Nintendo Store", which only lists products they published. Looking at Ubisoft or Sega published games has a similar prompt, but for Ubisoft or Sega stores instead, for example. Bethesda games on other systems have a more generic "Brand: Bethesda" tag also.

I would assume that pricing may ultimately be in Bethesda's hands for the digital versions, but physical is on Nintendo, so outside of sales they aim for price parity with the physical copies.

Re: Monster Hunter Movie Director And Star Apologise To Chinese Viewers For "Racist" Joke

Even if this line was intented to be offensive - which it isn't - the Chinese are the last people who should be complaining about racism and discrimination considering all if the stuff that goes on in their nation. Amazingly, I'm not even talking about the concentration camps either, it goes way beyond those, which are already awful by themselves.

That goes for both the CCP and many of its citizens, who are encouraged to toe the line to keep a good social credit score. I feel a little sad for them that they have to go along with the terrible policies and defend their government, to avoid becoming social pariahs in the country, but it also means it makes them hard to trust. Hopefully this can change, but I'm getting into some deep cultural stuff, even in the context of this article, so I'd be best to leave it here.

Re: The Company Behind Switch's HD Rumble Is Also Responsible For PS5 Controller's Haptic Feedback

JeongersGaming

After trying the DualSense, I can confirm it's functionality is on another level from HD Rumble.

This isn't surprising though, that both Sony and Nintendo went to the same company. Immersion's work is pretty cool. The difference is Sony has gone all in for their controller, whereas Nintendo took a more modest approach.

@ballistic90 one of the biggest disappointments of the Switch.

Re: Persona 5 Scramble Localisation Not Mentioned In Koei Tecmo's Latest Report

JeongersGaming

I definitely wouldn't worry about this. Persona 5 is Atlus's biggest game, and this is a canonical sequel to that. Plus they've released every other spinoff, such as the dancing games, and PQ2 even though the 3DS was dead when it was brought over. A potential combination of Covid delays, KT focusing on Hyrule Warriors first, and Atlus planning out their release schedule between SMTIII Remaster, SMTV, and P5S is probably keeping them from being able to lock down a solid date.

Maybe they also didn't want it to get too close to the new console launches, or it's simply not on Koei Tecmo's financial report because the publishing will now be handled by Sega, leaving it out of their hands. We'll see what specifically is causing the wait, but it will get localised sooner or later.

Re: Random: Some 3D All-Stars Players Aren't Happy About The Visible Debug Cubes In Super Mario Sunshine

@Dang69 Exactly. If a film accidentally left in unfinished special effects in one scene, or there were very visible boom mics or cameras, people would be all over it, and you wouldn't get people saying "oh well you should be grateful to the studio for making the movie at all!"

Very odd emotional attachments people have to these corporations because they grew up with their products as children.
