I know that Miyamoto and Nintendo had to just go through so many blunts with the actors hired for this movie 😂 they honestly picked some of the funniest, best potheads in the industry & I cannot WAIT to see them together in this movie. Not that I'm encouraging that to anyone, this is a family friendly site. Just stoked for the cast & crew, really excited to see what they make together!
@CasualNintendonite yeah same, I have the limited edition for Sword & Shield and have the limited edition coming for Pearl & Diamond. I'll try to pick up Monster Crown which seems to target the adult demographic a bit better, but it won't be the same. Hope they release a Pokemon with Red as an adult with some strong base Pokemon that takes place 20-30 years after the first game & doesn't hold your hand too much
This controller is probably the best Switch accessory I have. I received it earlier last week & was finally able to get Captain Falcon into Elite Smash using it. The muscle memory from when I was a kid came rushing back. I've been trying to get Captain Falcon to Elite smash for nearly 3 years, taking him up every couple of months with my pro controller and giving up. I can happily say I took him from 4.5 million GSP to 9.6 million in less than 7 days. Super happy with this controller purchase, perfect for SSBU and even a few shmups
Why they acting like kids play this game? We all know its for 20-60 year olds that have been grinding these games for 20+ years with like 2% little kids playing. Let's not be ashamed here guys & gals and put some of those Pokemon dad's and mom's in there 30s and 40s playing this
This was a great time, after watching the reveal a bought a little bit of Nintendo stock & when I sold it 3 years later, that had paid off 3 years worth of games and the console. Truly believed it had enormous potential even when I had a Wii U at the time.
12 is right about that barrier for me, can beat those type of games in a week which I consider the Maximum of short. Anything below is a short game, medium for me is 12-25 and beyond that are longer games that push that 30 hour threshold. RPGs would be different though.. short RPG would be under 30 hours, medium 30-60, with 60+ being those epics that deserve the time.
@NotoriousWhiz you can plug it into an RGB cable or buy a converter if you want a certain aspect ration. So in our case he plugged the red yellow white cables in a certain order to Red Green Blue.
@Screen you can pick up a Nintendo 64 in fairly good condition for around €70-90. Extra controller is about €15-20. Games range between €10-50. Not saying it's super cost effective to recreate the library they are offering but for less than €200 you could get a nice selection of games & original hardware and own them for a reasonable price instead of rental. My buddy and I just picked one up for those prices 2 weeks ago and were playing WCW vs nWo World Tour and Mario kart for under €120 an hour later (N64, extra controller, 3 games). Plus I got Golden Eye for €25 hehe.
It's a rip off. I have paid $60 for 3 years so far & only use online for SSBU. I have played some of the NES SNES stuff, probably 15 hours total. So to ask me to pay $150 for another 3 years in crazy, especially when it doesn't translate into substantially morr games. For $180 for 3 years on Xbox or PS Plus you'd get rougly 108-180 games (3-5 games per month) plus a ton of discounts on other select games / early access. Whereas here I'd get to own no games, they're all over 20 years old and I'd get some DLC I could get for $25. It's a rip off, will maybe consider it 2-3 years from now when they have added substantially more titles
@NintenGuy honestly most people here with an OG Switch should put their money toward a real OLED TV instead. Then all games they have will benefit & next gen games will look like cash money
Can you guys allow cursing for this comment section just for today? Have ad it up to here with Nintendo for scamming us with Switch taxes for games, rarely discounting first & 3rd party, making us repurchase eShop titles from previous generations, hardly upgrading ports & hardware updates, and not improving online multiplayer connectivity or having voice chat. But then again, I enjoy playing in handheld mode...
Triple the price for some great games ehhhh. Hard pass for now. Will consider some monthly options if possible. But c'mon, this is GREAT for profits that eill lead to tens of millions of dollars. Hooe they add Gamecube and Wii games for that price
If the emulators have existed before this release, then not really groundbreaking news. I'm sure this article will only help increase the amount of people emulating, not that it's really a problem as Nintendo is making absolute cash money & those that want to pay likely have
@BloodNinja I get it. Likely would only be 4K in docked mode anyway so you would get the same 720p quality or maybe even 900p if Nintendo decided to upgrade the screen in handheld mode. Not that they need to as most games look great at that size & resolution. Consumers get more options, so you're not forced one way or another. A standard Switch at $220-280 is a sweet deal either way
@Clammy well that's putting words in my mouth. I was telling Rupee to essentially put his money where he/she/they thinks it would be valuable. If he thinks it's an investment he / she / they could very well buy now BUT it would be a gamble from the perspective of taking the actual money and putting your skin in the game. Stocks are investments & they are risks. It isn't gambling per se but if you invest at the wrong time on limited funds when say you don't have much disposable income, you can see it as a bit of gambling if you aren't knowledgeable about competing firms on the market e.g. MSFT, SONY, Apple, etc etc. But again I was just telling him/her/they to invest if they thinks it's valuable. To go a bit further, if you think a stock can grow forever and always be at a high, you are wrong. Selling and buying is a part of the game & having a strong portfolio of mixed assets from a wide variety of industries is gonna be key to minimize losses. Taking too much time on this response, don't put words in my mouth lol spend money if you think you can get ROI
@BloodNinja that's current day, but future proof my ninja, you could stream 4K games right? Right? If they drop Netflix at any point could support 4K streaming. I think mid 2020s will have 4k as more of a mainstream thing so it would make sense to launch it end of 2022 or sometime in 2023. If you think back to Reggie's statements on the Switch lifecycle he said they were aiming for 7 years+
I bet Nintendo will do three things next yeat or Jan-March 2023: 1. Release the OLED model solo with no dock. 2. Sell the new dock solo. And 3. Sell a 4K model solo that works with the new dock, also selling a full bundle. That way anybody on the fence with an old dock can choose the OLED standard Switch to work with their old dock OR upgrade to the full 4K bundle. OLED buyers this year can then pick up a 4K solo to work with their now existing 4K dock. Anyway, I am speculating hard but would make good business sense.
@RupeeClock then you better buy now! Gamble, gamble. I got in at $32 a share and sold high 30s, then high 40s, bought in the high 40s sold in the 50s and got rid of everything. Not a bad stock to ride when the times are good
Really happy I got the collectors edition which I will never open and only stare at then sell for an exorbitant amount of money on an overvalued auction site in 2050
@fafonio shiny distributions would probably send annual pass prices skyrocketing & the total number sold. Good thing for both companies, kinda fun for consumers. Wonder how Pokemon Go will fit. Would be cool to have annual festivals there
I mean I understand why hardcore gamers like us trash mobile games & devs that put their mobile versions out first / water down their franchises, but from a Business perspective it makes total sense. Even more sense to do both hehe
Didn't know Tmobile owned a majority share of the company waits for laughter . Anyway, really like they provide the design decision behind it, it shows they thought it through and probably went through dozens of iterations to arrive on the style / slogan / colors.
I love the look of the game. It feels like such a prototype so love the risk on this art style. It's almost like the battle system was made on PowerPoint slides.
