Another great video @ziondood! Your love for the franchise is contagious.

I laughed through this whole thing. Haha!

In other words, this is PR because they realize just how stupid they look not putting any games on what is now the second highest selling current console on the market since Switch surpassed the Xbox One worldwide.

I just don't understand why they don't at least kick over The Sims or games like Peggle or Plants vs Zombies on the Switch. Those would sell really well with good part of Nintendo's audience.

Nintendo sold nearly 20 million units in a year and it's already doomed.... again.

I got really excited because I read "Ten Pin Bowling" as "Ten Pin Alley", and I thought that game was making a modern comeback. I loved it on the original PlayStation and Saturn.

@DrDaisy My guess is that you only posted that and tagged people who already voiced strong opinions in hopes of getting people further riled up.

There definitely needs to be a Direct in January or February each year. Even if the announced games aren't scheduled to come out until December, it's good to let fans know they are coming. The longer the year looks slim like it does now, the longer fans get antsy and less excited. You have to give fans something to look forward to, even if it's up to 11 months away.

I usually don't give a lot of weight to leaks, but given Nintendo sent this person a letter telling him to knock it off gives me pause. If be happy with either of these.

Makes me wonder how the first two games sold on Switch to get extra play options and new features in the third entry instead of just following suit with a straight port.

I love all the complaining comments. Good thing Nintendo isn't forcing you to watch it.

Great article and look back guys. I still remember just being stone cold stunned at the new of Mr. Iwata's passing in 2015 - and so close on the heels of that very disappointing E3 that year. Such a wide range of emotions in such a short amount of time.

I feel Reggie's surprise retirement announcement was so out of the blue that it, too, felt like an unexpected loss and a period of mourning followed it as well.

As Nintendo fans (especially those in North America who was under Reggie's leadership), it was a decade of two losses that provided significant change.

It is still sad to me that Mr. Iwata never physically saw the success that the Switch is enjoying.

@Krest_arisen Your profanity-riddled comment above towards @Quarth has been reported, Mr. Poopy Pants. Maybe you can take your Wii U to Anger Management classes with you?

I like how almost all the developers interviewed here mention that the eShop needs an overhaul with better organization. I totally agree.

That Phoenix Wright Trilogy has my attention.

The Gaming Historian has put out high quality content for years and this is one of his best pieces yet.

I just love the pictue chosen for this article.

Whoever in marketing comes up with these trailers needs a big raise. This one was outstanding.

Great! Was disapponted it slipped into 2020, but it looks very promising. I loved Theme Hospital, and I hope this is comparable.

That was one amazing moment from last year's show. Although I thought Shawn Layden looked the least comfortable of the three. Haha.

It's also amazing that only one of these men still remain in their positions a year later.

I love this franchise, and I think this game looks pretty sharp overall. Its nice to have name brand licensed equiptment as well. But it is largely just an upgraded version of the mobile game, so there are some features that didn't carry over from the 2017 Switch game, sadly. The First-Person viewpoint is also missing that is in the mobile games, so hopefully that can get patched in at some point.

But at the end of the day, its still a good game for fans of the series like me. New equiptment and new livestock will keep me coming back.

@Xupgeeks Gavin did not review the original game. Different reviewers have different opinions.

Had my eye on The Touryst for awhile now and probably will be picking that up!

I don't have the Streaming Stick version, but I do have the Roku Express model and have been streaming video content and playing Pokemon the entire afternoon without problem in handheld mode.

Smash was eligible this year for awards because came out well past the cut off point last year for awards of this nature. Just as it will be eligible at this year's Game Awards. A game released that late in the year (December, in Smash's case) gets pushed back for consideration to the following year.

Great interview and a great read!

My eyes skipped past the "Mind" part of the headline and I did a quick double take. haha

@Xylnox You suck. (Does that help?)

Good. I never got Bowser so now I'll be able to complete the set.

It's well deserved. The PS4 had a fantastic launch and has a vast and diverse library of quality first and third party games.

I'll get it! I loved this on the NES despite how basic it was. Lots of great memories with it.

The Wii U was a failure as far as sales-wise. There is no denying that. But from a creative standpoint, I feel it housed some of Nintendo's best first-party offerings... Splatoon and Super Mario Maker were born on the Wii U, for instance.

I have been loving this game. The presentation is so charming and inventive.

PBA Pro Bowling!!

@Dpullam Its actually launching (on other platforms) on the same day as New Horizons.

This was a great deal seeing as I've had Prime for a couple years now, and now have NSO paid up through October 2020.

All of these great reviews here and at many other sites have really helped me make my decision. I had been on the fence a bit but now am really looking forward to giving this game a shot on Friday.

And it looks like the positive reviews are piling up.

IGN: 9
Destructoid: 9
GameSpot: 8
Polygon: Recommended (they don't use a numerical scoring system): "Astral Chain is the best new Nintendo franchise since Splatoon"
Famitsu: 9/10/9/9

@Mr_Muscle Its not that you are going against the hype train, its that you are questioning a reviewer's motives without having played the game yourself personally that is being frowned upon. Its perfectly okay to not be on a hype train. It'd be just like if you were a professional plumber and some customer came behind you and questioned and judged everything you did without having any of the hands-on experience to back it up - you'd probably be a little offended, too.

I love how people will come in here to throw shade at a review when (a) all reviews are absolutely subjective and opinion and (b) said commentor hasn't played the game himself. The shade would hold a lot more weight once the game is out and experienced, but critiquing and questioning a reviewer's motives based on "what I've seen" (and not what I've actually played) is pretty laughable.

"Platinum games' past few entries have left me feeling burnt" basically exposes his own bias that he is accusing the reviewer of having.

"However, Legacy Editions are generally sold at a lower price."

Bull. At least in North America. It's still listed at every preorder retailer here as the full $59.99.

@mrmememan That's definitely an error. 7GB may be the size of the demo. Just like the other versions, a physical version will require a 32GB download and a massive mandatory 5GB of internal storage space for save data.

@sword_9mm Sonic debuted on the Genesis and a lesser version was ported to the Master System afterwards... well, I shouldn't say "lesser", but it was actually different with a different goals and objectives.

All of the comment history of @Patron leads me to believe he is major troll. There's no way anyone can actually believe what he's said.

I think they blended the 8-bit Mario with 16-bit Sonic because those are the versions that are most often remembered and referred to when speaking of the Classic era. I'm fine with it, and this mode just made this game go from being a consideration to a must-buy for me!

The Splatoon theme was fun, and I wish they would do another Game Boy one as I missed that.

Getting the required 100 points doesn't take very long - as a mediocre player, I still got that amount in about five rounds with varying results. Looking forward to this!

@jipiboily Correct. The 32GB card is the largest available as of yet, and The Witcher 3 is the first game to use them. I believe Nintendo said they will have 64GB cards availabe for developers in the future at some point.

The description in the official playthrough video on The Witcher YouTube channel confirms the release date as October 15, 2019.

Game is beautiful!

"Good Success" equates to the dreaded FIFA "Legacy Edition" in just the third year.

While I would certainly welcome a Madden (Switch doesn't have a single american football game on it yet!) or a Dead Space, only a braindead company wouldn't realize the possibility of profits in porting The Sims, Peggle, Plants vs. Zombies and others to the Switch.

@Grafeaux No shade. Some people genuinely wonder about how the Wii U version did for comparison's sake. I'm sure it plays fine, but its natural to be curious about its sales when all the hype was on the Switch version.

Animal Crossing: Wild World
Hotel Dusk
Clubhouse Games - which was my first taste of handheld online gaming.

And Resident Evil: Deadly Silence. I remember being amazed that a full PlayStation CD's worth of data could fit on a tiny DS cartridge. In a time after the REmake came out, I still love playing the original, and the DS incarnation was quite good!

(EDIT: I mistakenly typed New Leaf when I meant Wild World)
