Re: Random: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Players Really Want Nintendo To "Fix" Coconut Mall

Those talking about them taking out the Miis, that was to be expected since - until very recently - they really gave Miis a de-push and shoved them into the background. Most Switch users (save for the diehard fans) have one Mii per user on the system, so single players like me only have one in total. And you can have a profile without even having a Mii at all on your system. The game would have a significantly smaller pool of Miis to draw from than back on the Wii, so replacing them with Shy Guys made more sense.

Re: Nintendo Of America Named In Workers' Rights Complaint

I'll add that - in the case when I worked at NoA as a contractor via an outside agency - any decisions made in regards to training, discipline, benefits, rules, regulations, treatment, working conditions, etc fell solely on NoA and its employees. The only contact I had with my agency when there was for paycheck and time keeping stuff. Everything else was dictated by Nintendo.

So anything (if anything at all) comes out of this, it falls much more on Nintendo's doing than on whatever agencies they use.

Re: EA Job Listing Suggests Madden Could Be Coming To Switch

Having a franchise such as Madden on the Switch - who had yet to have a real American football game on it as far as I know - would be huge. People here may hate EA for good reasons, but this would be a major deal to see a Madden on Switch this fall alongside the other consoles.

There is a large swath of sports fans who already own a Switch and would definitely give a portable Madden a try.

Re: Feature: Playing With Power: The Nintendo Story Is A Fun Documentary With Some Critical Flaws

I really enjoyed it. They do seem to speed up slightly once it gets past the 16-bit era, but there are a lot of outstanding interviews throughout, and great footage from the eras. Nostalgia kicked in seeing the ads, pictures from the hardware cases at Toys 'R Us, so I probably liked it for that reason, too.

I think the nitpicks here are valid, but as die hard Nintendo fans, we are going to be very critical about documentaries like this. I enjoyed it for what it was, and have recommended it to friends.

Re: Plants Vs. Zombies Could Pave The Way For Bigger And Better EA Frostbite Titles On Switch

EA gets a lot of flak from Nintendo gamers, with good reason. But there is no doubt having their titles available on Switch would be a good thing, generally speaking. Having a Battlefield or a Madden on the Switch (given they are comparable to other consoles) would put up decent numbers I believe as far as third party titles go. EA also holds the licenses to games that I think would sell great on Switch, like The Sims 4 and Peggle.

I wonder how their ports of Burnout and Need for Speed sold on Switch?
