@SLIGEACH_EIRE Honestly, I think most of them were just trying to convince themselves that it was a good thing so that they wouldn't feel bad about the possibility that the Switch wouldn't get apps.
I can understand the argument that the Switch doesn't really need them because basically every other device already has them, but to argue that not getting them would have been a plus is the most absurd thing ever.
@10-zx Aww, darn. Oh well, I guess I'll just go buy that cool new Switch console.
@Pupito Probably, although I think Wii 2 might have been a bit more clear. Someone might think a Super Wii was just an upgraded version of the Wii or something.
@Blizzia That makes sense. I still think people have a strange bias towards Japanese, but after watching an anime for the first time recently (technically I have seen others, like Castlevania, which is considered an anime as far as I know, but I don't really count stuff like that), I understand why a little more.
@Anti-Matter I can see why some people like it, I just find it weird that such an overwhelming number of people prefer Japanese to other languages in so many games. It's not even limited to this game. I could understand it if people's taste in languages varied a little, but so many people prefer Japanese to everything else, and I just find it odd when there are so many other languages out there.
Maybe it's partly because a lot of people watch anime, which makes them more familiar with Japanese.
I understand why people would want to avoid the English version for this game though, because that is some pretty awful voice acting, at least judging by that one trailer.
I don't think I'll bother watching. Nintendo likes to take a game and spoil 3/4 of it before it actually releases. I want to see more of it to decide whether I'd enjoy it or not, but I'll do that some other way.
Way better than the Galaxy games, 2D Mario games, 3D Land/World, and 64, that's for sure. Not sure if it'll beat Sunshine as my favorite, since I'm only at the Metro Kingdom, but I wouldn't be surprised.
I think a decent amount of people will prefer the Galaxy games, and I don't understand why. I know it's all opinion, but those games are just so boring to me. So easy and simple, with planets that all blend together and aren't distinct at all. I can remember all of the worlds in 64 and Sunshine, but I couldn't tell you the name of a single planet in Galaxy 1 and 2.
@OorWullie I can't imagine these games are very costly to make, and they seem to sell pretty well for what they are. I wouldn't be surprised if we get a few more.
I've only seen the 3D effect for like a few seconds on a Gamestop employee's 3DS when it first came out, and while it was neat, I can't say the novelty ever went beyond "Huh, that's cool".
The Switch, on the other hand, totally blew my mind, especially since I hadn't been following the rumors at all, and I had no idea that mobile tech had even reached that point.

Re: It's Sci-Fi vs. Fantasy in the Next North American Splatoon 2 Splatfest
Pretty sure I'm gonna have to go with fantasy. I absolutely love it.

Re: Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Version 1.3.3 Lets You Repurchase Rare Items
@NEStalgia Yeah, I'm pumped to go buy one! Although it is a little pricey for a controller...
Re: Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Version 1.3.3 Lets You Repurchase Rare Items
@NEStalgia It's not a console, silly, it's a new controller for the Wii.
Re: Hulu Video Streaming App Out Today For Switch In North America
I don't use Hulu. Give us Netflix please.
Re: Investment Banking Firm Predicts Switch Will Sell 115.8 Million Units By 2023
Switch is doomed. R.I.P Nintendo.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Gets Expansion Pass and Surprise Breath of the Wild Crossover
I'm sorry, but that armor is the most hideous armor I've literally ever seen. It's awful. I would rather wear pretty much anything else.
Re: Random: Shin Megami Tensei Fans Voted For Their Top Demon, We Kinda Wish They Hadn't
@aesc I love how there are two P's there, too.
Re: Random: Shin Megami Tensei Fans Voted For Their Top Demon, We Kinda Wish They Hadn't
A penis monster with a mouth and tentacles riding a spiked chariot is the last thing I would expect to see on the front page of a Nintendo site, lol.

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 2 to Get Japanese Voiceover Option in Free Launch DLC
@carlos82 I understand that, but the same goes for basically any other language.
@BigKing I'm sure plenty of people would take that option, though. They just don't ask for it because it's usually not an option for Western games.

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 2 to Get Japanese Voiceover Option in Free Launch DLC
I don't really understand why so many people want to hear the Japanese language specifically in their games, but okay.
Re: Grezzo Is Hiring Programmers to Help Make a “Legend”
I'll take a Zelda remake, for sure.

Re: Monster Hunter XX On Switch Helps Capcom Post Impressive Growth
I'm sure I'd love to play this game...if I could read Japanese.
Re: Get Ready To Party With This New Trailer For Mario Party: The Top 100
Should have been on the Switch. Major missed opportunity.
Re: Talking Point: The Case for Super Mario Odyssey as the Greatest Mario Game
Way better than the Galaxy games, 2D Mario games, 3D Land/World, and 64, that's for sure. Not sure if it'll beat Sunshine as my favorite, since I'm only at the Metro Kingdom, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Nintendo Direct Coming November 7th
Not planning on buying this at all, but I'll watch and see if it can change my mind.
Re: Nintendo Launches a 'Switch Moments Come to Life' Commercial
I wonder how that guy feels about being possessed by Mario...
Re: Poll: Which is the Best Super Mario Game?
Not gonna judge Odyssey for a while. I've only made it to New Donk City, after all.
Before Odyssey though, my favorite was Sunshine by far, and it might still be depending on how I feel about Odyssey in the end. Hard to say.
Re: Review: Just Dance 2018 (Switch)
@OorWullie I can't imagine these games are very costly to make, and they seem to sell pretty well for what they are. I wouldn't be surprised if we get a few more.
Re: Anniversary: It's Been 10 Years Since Super Mario Galaxy Landed On The Wii
I like Odyssey way more. To be honest, I don't really find linear Mario games that fun. I didn't even bother finishing Galaxy 2.
Re: EA Says It's Still Too Early To Judge Demand For More Games On Switch
Can't stand EA.
Re: Switch Passes Two Million Sales In Japan Thanks To Super Mario Odyssey Fever
Well-deserved. The game is great, as is the system.
Re: Feature: Ten Nintendo Switch Games That Are Perfect for Halloween
@senshu I can see that.
Re: Feature: Ten Nintendo Switch Games That Are Perfect for Halloween
You know the Switch is a new console with a pretty small library when Mario Odyssey gets listed as a Halloween game.
Re: Nintendo Gamers Prefer Using Switch As A Handheld Rather Than Docked
Mine hasn't left the dock in months.
Re: Reggie Fils-Aimé Targets an "Extra Nintendo Twist" for the Switch Online Service
My goodness, people really get a kick out of complaining. We don't even know what the service is like yet, lol.
Re: Rocket League Blasts Onto the Nintendo Switch on 14th November
@electrolite77 That's probably a pretty good comparison. I can't say I'm a big fan of sports games in general, but maybe I'll look into it a bit more.
Re: Rocket League Blasts Onto the Nintendo Switch on 14th November
I'll pass. Not a big soccer fan.
Re: The Next European Splatfest is All About Breakfast
I would pick both if that were an option. I think I'd lean towards warm, though. (Not that I'm participating in the European Splatfest anyway)
Re: Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Champions' Ballad DLC is Still Due This Year
@LiberatedAnimal Yeah, I'll be happy with anything that's more like dungeons in previous Zelda games.
Re: Review: Moon Hunters (Switch eShop)
I'm too busy hunting moons in Mario Odyssey already.
Re: Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Champions' Ballad DLC is Still Due This Year
Definitely looking forward to it. I hope the dungeon isn't another Divine Beast, though.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Halloween Edition
@SLIGEACH_EIRE You're basically doing CPR on a skeleton, lol. The Wii U is long gone. That's how system generations work.
Anyway, back on topic. I'll be playing Mario Odyssey like pretty much everyone else.
Re: Review: Super Mario Odyssey (Switch)
@HFish I agree. This is the Mario game I've been waiting for ever since Sunshine.
Re: Review: Super Mario Odyssey (Switch)
Shut up and take my money.
Re: Video: 4K Trailer For L.A. Noire Gives An Idea Of What It Won't Look Like On Switch
Looks pretty good. Not my thing, though.
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th October (North America)
@JJ286 Because this is a download list, and I'm buying Odyssey physically, not downloading it.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry Gives Its Full Tech Analysis of Super Mario Odyssey
GG Nintendo.
Re: Miyamoto on Bringing Back the “Old” Style of Mario, Exploring New Art Styles
Anything to shake up the staleness of the recent 2D Mario games.
Re: Feature: Five Things We Expect from the Animal Crossing Mobile Direct
I can deal with micro-transactions in their mobile games, so long as they don't bring them to their console games.
Re: NPD Says SNES Mini Was the Highest Selling Console in September
What a surprise. Not.
Re: Rogue Singularity Will Jump Onto the Switch eShop in 2018
Unless there's some awesome gimmick involved, I wouldn't play a procedurally generated platformer even if it was free.
Re: Talking Point: An Era Ends As Nintendo Continues to Ignore 3D on the 3DS
I've only seen the 3D effect for like a few seconds on a Gamestop employee's 3DS when it first came out, and while it was neat, I can't say the novelty ever went beyond "Huh, that's cool".
The Switch, on the other hand, totally blew my mind, especially since I hadn't been following the rumors at all, and I had no idea that mobile tech had even reached that point.
Re: Animal Crossing for Mobile is All Set for a Nintendo Direct Reveal This Week
Please reveal the Switch game.
Re: Talking Point: The Nintendo Switch is Modernising, But Has a Long Way to Go
@justin233 That would be a huge nostalgia trip. Sunshine is awesome.
Re: Talking Point: The Nintendo Switch is Modernising, But Has a Long Way to Go
Best Nintendo system since the GameCube.
