It'll sell, Zeldas too big to fail. This isn't some one off thing either, the games success will be an excuse for most (if not all) future Nintendo games to be 70. Yes, even the bare bones Mario sports titles.

Nintendo has been greedy and lazy ever since the pandemic x ANCH collab boosted the Switch into the third best selling console of all time.

It feels like every Nintendo game comes with a little asterisk next to it nowadays. Nintendo used to be different. Now they're an amalgamation of the industries worst practices, but at least they make a good mainline Mario or Zelda game once a generation, right?

fascism is when no funko pops

And now I ask, who really cares?

@Jolt
Remember kids - You have the right to think for yourself! Buy Overwatch if you want. We've been supporting companies with heinous atrocities and greedy monopolies for decades, so why stop now?

These people in the comments don't buy many dress shirts do they?
At most you'd be paying ~20$ extra for a nice Pokemon design.

It looks good but it just too god damn animated. Everything is SCREAMING for your attention. Everything is always moving. Objects in the foreground move very distractingly. The parallax scrolling effect is horrendous.

I fear no man.
But that thing.

It scares me.

@CodyMKW
Then it would say watchdogs...

Would get more clicks too.

@Reddaye
Yeah they can.

But should they? These things are devoid of any intrinsic value. It costs more to make the packaging than the actual "figure" itself. There is no reason to whatsoever. No soul, no creativity, no worth, no appeal, and no playability.

A Pikachu Amiibo is infinitely times better, and cheaper, and has an actual use other than this 40$ Pikachu Funko Pop.

Collect something that looks better than these lifeless "collectibles".

Apparently female character=Sex Appeal

It's a cup for christ's sake.

"Alright just gotta embed the video into this Switch article..."

Inserts PS4 version trailer

"Break time!"

There'd better be a Pro alongside that Mini...

It's bananas,

@Hinade

53% on Metacritic
65% on RT

Usually the audience scores are high if critic scores are low, ie Alita, but there seems to be a general consensus here. I'm still gonna watch it when it comes out digitally tho.

Ooooh.

Oh god why.

Hey, I've seen this one!

According to comments I see on this site and anywhere else I go, only 3D indie games are worth more than 20$.

@Leuke
"but $25 is a little steep for an indie"

There is no such thing as steep for an indie. The game is what it's worth.

Can't wait for some official ones tho, or wait till the game is actually out. (Might get the 3rd one)

Remember that one time the 4chan leak was real?

The fake leaks are there to make the real ones seem unbelievable.

I don't think anyone really likes the Dynamax thing, but from a marketing standpoint, giant Kaiju sell. Especially in Japan.

“The pursuit of making money is the only reason to make movies. We have no obligation to make history. We have no obligation to make art. We have no obligation to make a statement” — Michael Eisner Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of The Walt Disney Company from September 1984 to September 2005

Also Disney rides off of their own success without bringing anything new to the table. Even Pixar had to undergo the Disney formula after Inside Out. Making passable movies, the bare minimum to be acceptable.

@jERS

...Yess???

This isn't Tekken so no Negan from the Walking Dead, and this ain't Soul Caliber so no Darth Vader. And it ain't Fortnite so no Thanos.

Smash Bros is all about celebrating video game history, kinda like a hall of fame. If you're in Smash Bros, congrats, you made it.

@Alucard83

Which is why you make your own...

That's kinda the point.

MUGEN exists, just sayin.

@jERS

Never knew Spider-Man originated from a video game. Please, tell me more.

That trailer though, I would like a behind the scenes imo.

A E S T H E T I C ?

Don't know if it's worth 15 dollars tho. Hollow Knight is also 15 dollars, which is bad enough...It should be 30$.

This style of pixel art in particular is 1-bit.

I didn't have too much fun with Minit but this genuinely looks good.

@N8tiveT3ch

Well that makes more sense

Now you're thinking with portals

@N8tiveT3ch
I'm sensing fanboyism...

I'm 'bouta drop a truth bomb.

1. Mario Kart
2. Modnation Racers
3. Diddy Kong Racing
4. CTR
5. Sonic Racing Transformed
6.LBPK
7.Super Indie Karts

@N8tiveT3ch

Smh one of the only other Kart Races that could stand a chance against Mario Kart.

@N8tiveT3ch

...What if they made a new ModNation Racers?

They still haven't confirmed if you'll be able to play Mario this time around. Last Mario Maker I hated playing Luigi and every time I scan a Mario Amiibo, it gave me red Luigi.

Fix your act Nintendo.

Day 27 of Vroom in the Night Sky:

My Hot Pocket started talking to me. But that was pretty normal compared to when some people broke into my house. They told me to stop playing this shovelware and handed me a copy of Hollow Knight(When it releases), I didn't know what good games were anymore. The I only thing I know is Vroom in the Night Sky.

They also tripped on my pee jars on the way in, that was pretty rude of them.

Are you guys seriously hung up on wording?
Let me rephrase then.

That's why we get New Mario Bros games semi-frequently despite being the worst rated in the series. At least the 3D games diversified.

I wouldn't count the DS version. And the Switch version was a given, with the Wii U being the Wii U. If you wanted me to say annualized you can look elsewhere.

Keyword: almost

@westman98

Never said it would struggle. Commerical sucess and critical success are very different things. That's why we get New Mario Bros games almost every year despite being the worst rated in the series.

@westman98

Yeah if it's free.

Jokes aside I have my doubts. 50/50 at this point.

More power is definitely more attractive when the whole point of the Switch is to take console experiences on the go and it can barely manage to do that. So many games undocked are just meh in terms of graphics but the more triple A games suffer from poor performance. Not even Panic Button can fix that.

Sure a undocked only Switch would sell like Japanese hotcakes(Hottokēki) but if it retained it's current specs right now it ain't selling anywhere else. In 2017 Switch owners preferred handheld over console usage. However even more recently the amount of docked only has risen to about half and half.

The only logical thing at this point is to look at the "2 Switch versions rumor". As it sounds like a Nintendo thing to do, and it would appease both sides. Those who want more power, and those who never touch the dock.

@Dellybelly

Is that why 2018 ended strong with Ps4 Pro and Xbox One X sales going up instead of down? Does that mean that nobody wants a Switch that is already small enough, to get smaller?

(Although realistically it would be more like a Vita Slim)

@stevenw45
As far as I remember...No??

It's been confirmed in development (afaik, I don't follow Pikmin too closely) if anything there should be news this year or next year.

@GrailUK
I just got Wii U era fanboy nostalgia, holy hell! Go onto an old YouTube video and you'll laugh.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. We also had Pikmin 3 so fans were pretty content for the most part.

I'd rather have a Switch Pro or a Switch XL but I think I'm in the minority here.
