All of the DS Castlevania games are among my favorite DS games. Kinda disappointing that we never had a proper Metroid game since that is my favorite Nintendo IP.
I think Microsoft needs Nintendo's help for the Xbox consoles to stay relevant. Nintendo and the Switch is doing great on its own. I'd rather see a Sony/Nintendo collaboration, fitting with their Japan roots.
Playing video games is a healthy exercise for the elderly. It has been shown to ward off dementia and depression, keeping their minds sharp. Glad to hear she was able to keep that save file.
You can like GU over World, but admitting that, in your own words, you are a die hard Nintendo fan, weakens your position. By all means have a great time. A preference in gaming companies should not matter. Thus, don't include that in your argument.
I think people would be ultimately disappointed if Waluigi makes it into Smash. If he was announced, the running joke ( or fake outcry ) would stop. What would everyone bemoan about then? No playable Ridley I suppose 🤔
Such an amazing game. One of my all time favorites. Okami has been ported quite a lot these past few years. I won't triple dip here. I would double dip for a Viewtiful Joe remaster though. What's up Capcom?!?
Gaming was definitely an unhealthy obsession of mine when I was younger. Nowadays it's simply a nice break or distraction from the stressors in my life. My answers in the poll matched up with the most popular choices.
Nothing said or shown yesterday convinced me to buy a Switch. Not having Metroid Prime 4 at the show was a huge disappointment. This list is sad. Fortnite is the 2nd most hyped game? Looks like my PS4 will continue to take all of my game time. Hollow Knight is amazing though. I highly recommend it.
This is a wonderful game. I watched my son play it on his PC. I don't own a Switch but am hoping it will be released on the PS4 soon. I highly recommend this game.
This is exciting news indeed. Although there is much more content in MHGU, I will likely stick to MHW. The QOL improvements in World would be difficult to overlook going back. I wish World had a roster like Generations Ultimate. Capcom has plenty of fans of both games to please us all.
Nintendo should really consider an achievement program. Whether it's an app or patched in otherwise, it's past due. Earning "stars" or coins and such for in game achievements is a great idea. Having a prize for these collected achievements, like a free download or eshop currency, would entice us to play more games more often.
Great news if confirmed. Those games didn't get enough exposure. Since I don't own a Switch yet, a WiiU release would also be cool. I'll get on board eventually.
Hey Thomas, we hope you drop by the comment sections here from time to time. This can't be a forever "goodbye", but more of a see-you-later-type of "goodbye". You will be missed here.
Wind Waker has been my favorite Zelda game since the Gamecube days. Now that I've let BOTW settle into a memory, it's taken over the top spot for me. I anticipate revisiting BOTW from time to time for years. It's a beautiful world to immerse into.
I almost pulled the trigger on buying a Switch but talked myself out of it with Monster Hunter World around the corner on the PS4. Looks like Nintendo will get by without my support.
Nintendo needs to patch in enough slots to collect all of the clothing/armor. The new shrines are good. The bike seems fun. I haven't gotten it yet. Overall I'm underwhelmed. The rehashed boss fights are cheap and lazy. My review so far, and I've yet to beat the additional "dungeon", is a 6/10.
Most of these choices were a close call for me. Choosing the Galaxy games over Skyward Sword is not. Overall, I prefer the Mario franchise. Platformers ftw
The current controls on the joy-cons are too uncomfortable for me. A proper d pad is just one of a number of revisions I would suggest. Judging by the other comments, I'm not alone here. I hope Nintendo will produce alternative joy-cons, specifically a design that is comfortable for people with large hands. Now I'm sure there are gamers with large hands that don't experience much discomfort with the setup. And to that rebuttal, I'm envious of you.
My first memory of a Nintendo experience was my brother buying a NES for us. Track n Field was the game we played the most initially. There are many fond memories throughout the years. One that immediately stands out was my first impression of Metroid Prime. I remember thinking to myself how amazing it was despite my initial hesitation from abandoning the 2d plane. To this day, Nintendo still has a knack for impressive surprises.

Re: Suda51 GameCube Title killer7 To Be Remastered
@MikeW Just the mention of Viewtiful Joe makes my day. A 1+2 bundled release would be incredibly hard to resist.
I would like to add that a "GameCube Classics" line of Switch titles is a potential goldmine of both gaming goodness for us and profits for Nintendo.
Re: Nintendo's E3 2018 Presentation Gets An Official Title
I'm calling it "Metroid Prime 4 or bust".
Re: Sink Your Teeth Into 15 Minutes Of Bloodstained: Curse Of The Moon Footage

Re: Legend of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Gets Wii U Update To Improve Gameplay
@Hikingguy I can answer that for ya. Master mode is a separate file. It's nice because on my normal file I'm collecting everything.
