I've never hated a game as much as I hated s
Skyward Sword and I didn't mind the motion controls that much.

I hated Fi so much. Hard pass for me.

Now that I'm playing Sunshine, the drift is driving me crazy. Mario is making walking off platforms and dying very frequently.

The problem for me with games on Nintendo systems is that if I don't care about one game, that becomes a 6 month drought, not a 3 month drought.

For example, I don't care for Paper Mario or Animal Crossing, so now the last major game I bought was Pokemon.

That being said, I am so busy these days, so it feels less obvious.

@Incarna It will not. The directors are very few compared to the total number of employees (2400). Therefore the average will not be be affected significantly by their removal.

@EarthboundBenjy YouTube is a powerful tool for spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories in times disasters like this. So YouTube is taking strong action to demonetize videos about Covid19 to limit misinformation from spreading. You'll also notice a message under videos that are about Covid19 it vaguely about it.

If you think this is to much worrying, you'll need to look around and see how much misinformation is going around about. And there is a great number of people not taking it seriously.

I know everyone it talking about Joycon drift, but the d pad on the pro controller is pure garage. It's additionally frustrating considering how expensive it is and how little it does. For that price from Nintendo, I at least expect the d pad and controls to be good.

It's nice that the releases are the same across the different regions. I like this better than when we (NA) used to get games months before or after Japan and Europe.

@LUIGITORNADO
As longtime fan of the franchise, I have to agree. Awakening saved the franchise, but it also changed it to what I think is worse.
I wish they would get away from the anime wifu, baby, and grinding and back to hardcore strategy.

Unfortunately, I'll probably end up getting it.

Does anyone know if the Samsung Galaxy USB A to C charger has the same specs?
I'm having a hard time finding the specs online.

@NewAdvent not all cardboard is fragile. There are more expensive types of cardboard, like triple walled. It's a much stronger cardboard, though it's not like thick plastic or steel.

Looking at the video, it seems they used the cheaper, double walled cardboard. They may have a legit reason to use it, or just to save on it.
I do share your concerns, I don't see these things having a long lifetime, and they might iterate on it after complains.

We'll just have to see.

@NintenNinja16

I agree.

I've been a prime member for years (in the US) and I've been getting less happy with Amazon. They sell a lot of fake merchandise, their prices and not as competitive as they used to be, and they do have lots of delivery issues.

@Nintendoforlife
You are correct, but I think if they redid Mario they will consider designing it to be more microtransaction friendly.
Things like cool down time, unlocking levels, mushrooms, stars, playable characters...etc.

I'm glad they didn't, but we can't deny that after FE the one time sale will be less likely.

I think after Fire Emblem made more money than Mario Run, they probably will monetize it more like FE than Mario. And it's a franchise that seems like a perfect fit for microtransactions.

Though to be fair, FE was generous and fair with it's pricing and gifts.

@nab1
Nice, congrats.

I saw that. I don't know why they show the 410 price, but the 300 price is not as obvious.

I clicked on it and it is $410. Does anyone else see that price?

I have a switch already, I'm glad I preordered it and didn't cancel.

Edit: I clicked on the "other sellers on Amazon" option, and it's 300 there.

I would like to participate but I will be in Seattle for vacation. Oh well.

I really liked Splatoon 1, but I got a bit busy and when I got back to it everyone was at higher levels and had better gear, so I felt severely under-powered and stopped playing. So this would've allowed to see if I'll get back into Splatoon or not.

I actually dislike the relationship mechanics in Fire Emblem, that's coming from a big Fire Emblem fan.

I hope they don't get fixated in it, and if they make an Advanced Wars game not to shoehorn it in.

But IS needs to slow it down with Fire Emblem.

I think both games are great.
I played Zelda first though, and going to Horizon after Zelda is a bit difficult.
When I can't climb a wall or a mountain, I feel restricted.
But both games are masterpieces in their own right, but Zelda is better, except for voice acting.

Though I wish both games (and other open world games) would reduce the size of the maps a bit and increase the diversity of enemies.

Why don't they ever come to Detroit?

I downloaded the demo and played it with my wife, then I immediately bought the full game. It is really fun and easy to pick up, and most importantly very cute.

I'm glad they had a demo, I think more games should do that.

I'm pretty excited. But knowing Nintendo I know I'm better off keeping my expectations in check.

@gcunit Because the pixels are right in front if your eyes.
With low resolution, you'll see the pixels and it wouldn't be able to put a nice picture.
I have the samsung gear VR, and my phone has a very nice 1440P screen, and I think it's still not perfect. I also used other VR hardware.

And keep in mind that the Switch has a a larger screen with a lower resolution, so the pixel density will be terrible.
The screen is not a problem when used normally, but in VR it's a whole different thing.

There's absolutely no way VR will work with that screen. It's likely 720p, it will look absolutely terrible and grainy. Even if it was 1080p, it would still be terrible.
It may work if they send the signal to a phone, but there'll likely be lag and lag with vr is unusable.

Most patents go unused anyways.

Many games can afford bad controls, F Zero isn't one of them. I doubt Nintendo will do anything about it.

Also GX the best F Zero game, by the way.

When all the Pokemon within a reasonable distance from my location are the same 4 Pokemon, and they are impossibly difficult to catch, there's no need for me to log in constantly. Also the game is super inaccurate with the step counting for eggs.

@DekersHekers
Zelda is a real name that existed before the game, so it's different.

It's my favorite Zelda game. It's actually my first video game, alongside tetris.

@C-Olimar it's not disservice to the fans.
It costs them money to make them and the demand was nearly nonexistent, so to make the supply very high would be stupid.

@GMB-001
@ikki5

That's general electric. It's a pretty huge and innovative company.

I love this game.
I have so many memories with this game.

Nice. So I don't have to click 35 buttons to buy a 5 bucks game again from the eshop?

He will be missed.

I didn't like some of his business decisions. But I still liked the guy. His direct persona was great, that's why so many memes came out of them. He did care for the company and the games.
He will be missed.

I can't deny the talent here.

But I like the old fire emblem art style way more than the new anime/Manga art style.

@agqwestern
I got mine in the us.

I was thinking that we're due for a direct.
They need one to give some news on games set to come out soon.

People shouldn't be mad at Sega or game freak for this. It all goes back to Nintendo. if they designed the wii u for gamers in mind and tried to make it compete with the other platforms, stuff like this wouldn't happen.
They can't stay stubborn forever.

I do agree that the Zelda franchise has been getting very boring and bad. LBW, a game I absolutely love, seems to me more of an outlier.
I do hope I am wrong and that it's changing point. But I'm cautious about Zelda U.

I love this game. I was unable to play ephiram's portion of the story. So I'm excited to play it now.

If they're going top remake f zero, if rather have gx for the wii u.

I just want them to have good bosses and puzzles. They haven't had many of those in a long time. Most bosses are way too easy (simple to figure out, require the easy his, have bright eyeballs, and require the weapon from that dungeon...) and the puzzles are way too simple and rehashed (hit an eyeball with arrows, hit diamonds with weapon, step on block...).
Also, no tutorials and no nagging.
Other than that, I'm excited.

Looks similar to Donkey Kong, but in a good way.
This is definitely in my radar now.

I like gamexplain's rating system. They say whether they liked the game or not.

@Folkloner
Regardless, I won't have seven friends with a wii u and splatoon. Most people won't. This whole "only friends" thing is quite annoying.
I never use voice chat, but I feel like this game needs it. If it doesn't have it, I'll skip it.

@Late I assume you haven't finished the game, because they make you do the same thing five times not just twice, and it is really annoying.

The best part is that I can't log in. And when I accidently manage to log in, it shows me zero coins.
This part I will not miss from club Nintendo.

I've been playing steam, it's actually pretty good. I haven't gotten far enough in the demo, but I'm liking what I'm seeing.
I'm not surprised because I trust IS, but it's nice to see how this game turned out so far.

Preinstalls are impractical with the Wii U storage. And switching discs would break the open world-exploration type gameplay.
I'm glad it's on one disc.

@triforcepower73
Wow, take it easy buddy, no need to get offended. Also, lessen the use of the word accuse.
Regardless, yes, his music suffers from being the same. In the anime community many people are getting sick of his uninspired, rehashed music. Just because it worked for AoT and Unicorn and many other shows, doesn't mean he shouldn't mix it up. It's called fatigue by the way.
And he doesn't reuse melodies, he uses the same music.
Soul Link and Ao no Exorcist (which I really like) are the only different ones. Even AnE sounds somewhat similar, but different enough.
If Kondo composed the exact same music for all Zelda games, then the music would get boring after a while. But they mix old and new, Sawano doesn't.
Aldnoah's music isn't even that good. The music feels like it wants to be epic, that doesn't make it good, and being derivative doesn't help. Look at Hisaishi, Kohei Tanaka, Yoshihisa Hirano, among others, for actually good music. They reuse some melodies, but they don't rehash shamelessly. And ACE+, who I only know through Xenoblade, seem to have better production values.

And finally, the music in the trailers sounds absolutely no different than the rest of his music.

@triforcepower73
I'm not kidding. Sawano isn't that great of a composer. His music loses its novelty pretty quickly. For a game that is huge and long, the music will become annoying fairly quickly. Also, he hasn't composed anything good in years. All of his music sounds exactly the same as AoT music, which isn't all that glamorous of music. Call it fatigue, if you may.
Besides, his music doesn't work very well as BGM, so that wont be fun. The music is by all accounts a step down from the first Xenoblade.
