Has everyone forgotten that Sean Schemmel was also the voice for Lucario? Even if he IS approached for Smash, it could be for him.
And no, Goku won't be in Smash, and Shrek either, so please stop trolling and start supporting real characters. Damn, even Waluigi if you absolutely want to be dank.
@SmaggTheSmug It's that his game is not just any retro platformer schtick. It's a mash-up of what everyone loves in retro platformers, presented in an easy to play and hard to master package. It's simply one of the best indies out there!
Is it me or a lot of assists are potential characters that got turned down? I'm glad they're still included though! Shovel Knight as an assist is kinda too bad since I really wanted to play as him, but I'll keep dreaming of Shantae appearing in Smash too, in one form or another. After all, she's an icon too, and she has a close history with Nintendo! -fanboy rant over-
@MonkeyKing It's not the same situation at all. SEGA pulled the plug on Bayonetta 2 and it solely exists because Nintendo backed it. They didn't pay anything for a Nintendo exlusivity because in a way it is their game. Also, the recent Bayonetta PC port contains data from the Switch remaster that Nintendo worked on and allowed for use. As for Bayo 3, once again Nintendo is paying for development instead of SEGA, so it makes sense it's a Switch exclusive.
For the Ys series, SONY just threw money at Falcom to pay for an exclusivity. Same crap as with the Tomb Raider "timed exclusive" fiasco, or Crash N Sane trilogy. If Sony was actually involved in making the game, having it on different platforms would be a feat. Same as Minecraft, but Microsoft likes money so Minecraft is everywhere.
"We determined that PSP owners and Falcom fans overlapped," more like Sony payed you a bunch of money to stay on board. It was very unbusiness-like to not publish on DS when nearly everyone in Japan had one and it was the most convenient thing to publish for the DS. Plus, with Nippon Ichi as the publisher, it was all the easier as they already had a foothold in DS territory. It's a bit like the Cuphead publishers refusing to leave the Xbox: they simply are tied to the money.
It's easy: what platform do we want to play a great looking 2D game on in short bursts? The PS4 and Xbone are for longer online sessions, possibly with kids insulting your mom, or for very long solo games. That's how I see it.
Having stayed very far from LoL and only having played Smite as a MOBA (which is much more Arcade in its gamplay), I was pleased with that Beta. I'm looking forward to the real thing.
"Hey guys, you can't return our copies and you've already paid for them, so wait for the enhanced edition, bye! By the way, the game is terrible and we know it!"
@Shiryu I didn't get that from the test itself. I'll trust you though. Something on which I do agree is that the Switch's catalog is choke full of 2D action games that are absolutely great.
5 /10 just for the difficulty level? You also said that about that Slain: Back From Hell and Castle of Heart, and I enjoyed those immensely. I'd say it's unfair.
Given that the only things we know know about the Stardew Valley "world" are that there is an all-out war somewhere and that big corporations have taken over about everything, it may be something like a SimCity thing with a twist, or a tactics game?
Yup, being French I can confirm that the Switch is a VERY hot system. Nearly everyone of my friends has one (which one reason being my constant nagging about it, I'll admit) and the Switch games are overtaking a lot of shelf space in stores.
Nintendo of America always have been very weird, from censorship to downright refusing to localize a game (like Xenoblade Chronicles). And they've ALWAYS done wrong by the gamers. I'm just glad to live in Europe.
So I'm not the only one who thinks he is pretty unlikable from what we've seen. To be fair, MewtwoKing (however his stupid pseudonyme is written) is even worse though... Well, goodbye. Try to make the community approchable and likable next time!

He is RELIEVED? Is he kidding? It's one of the best soundtracks in years!
Re: Heavy Metal Infused 2D Action-Platformer Valfaris Arrives On Switch This Year
I loved Slain. This one is a no-brainer.
Re: Publishers Are Refusing To Sign Velocity 2X Sequel, Dev Asks For Switch Players' Support
It does look awesome! I'll be sure to try it! (how was this never on my radar?)

Please don't pollute my Switch with this thing...
Re: Hard-Hitting Hero From Dead Cells Revealed As New Fighter For Brawlout
I think the Shovel Knight theme was just a tease since we saw a shovel, like "Gotcha" moment, but we never know!
Re: Hard-Hitting Hero From Dead Cells Revealed As New Fighter For Brawlout
@Torakaka If Shantae is in, I'm buying this game regardless of its expiration date in December.
Re: WarGroove Will Include Cutscene Editor To Allow Custom Storytelling
Damn that game is long overdue. I've been hyped since the beginning!
Re: The US Trader Who Bet $400 Million Against Nintendo Takes Huge Hit As Stock Price Soars
He has until Pokemon to try to hope the action drops. And when Smash hits, he's dead.

Re: Thimbleweed Park Sales On Switch Predicted To Exceed Lifetime Steam Sales
The game is an absolute blast to play. I'll never delete it from my Switch!

The PS4 and Xbone are for longer online sessions, possibly with kids insulting your mom, or for very long solo games. That's how I see it.
Re: Hollow Knight: Gods & Glory Arrives On Switch August 23rd
Just waiting for the boxed release. I can't wait!

As a long time fan of Animal Crossing, I certainly don't enjoy Animal Crossing Pocket Camp. Gotcha Reggie!
Re: Bloodstained: Curse Of The Moon Made Over Half Its Sales On Switch
I'm glad it sells well. I'd be even happier if I got my code already! Anybody know anything about those cooooooooodes?

Re: Video: Discussing What Took Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate So Long to Come to the West
It's too little too late. Sorry Capcom, but I'm not buying this. I'll stick with World. I doubt I can even go back to the old cumbersome formula...

I really can't wait to get my hands on this one! Glad I didn't get it on Steam!
Re: Costume Mode Comes To Shantae: Half-Genie Hero On 10th April
I backed it and got all the DLCs on Wii U, but I'll be damned if I don't buy the special Switch edition with the artbook!
Re: Deals: Praise The Sun, You Can Now Pre-Order The Dark Souls Solaire amiibo
I did ASAP and I got one... It's also expensive for an Amiibo: 25€. Is there a reason beside its rarity?
Re: Poll Data Suggests Switch Owners Are More Into Mobile Games Than Their Console Friends
Phone "games" are a shame, even Mario Run and Fire Emblem Heroes. If I want to game on the go, I have my 3DS.

Re: Switch Exclusive Platformer Castle of Heart Secures A March Release Date
I should keep an eye on this one! It really looks fun!
Re: Fire Emblem Warriors' Second DLC Pack Will Be Released Next Week
Content locked onto the disc itself was a total deal-breaker for me. I'm waiting for Hyrule Warriors.
Re: Dead Cells Is Coming to the Switch Later This Year
YES, YES, YES A THOUSAND TIMES YES! BRING IT! I WANT IT!
Re: Cross Platform Parties Are Coming To Rocket League This Year
I doubt it'll drive me to play online. Rocket league is my go to game with my friends in local and I'm very happy that way.
Re: Indie Dev Talks About Having Switch Proposals Turned Down By Nintendo Five Times

Re: Review: Unepic (Switch eShop)
Really loved it on the Wii U. It's a solid recommandation for anyone who likes the genre.

Re: Smash-Style Brawler Rivals of Aether Is Headed To Switch
I'm very excited about this one! Much more than Brawlout for some reason...
Re: Mercenaries Saga Chronicles Brings The Entire Tactical Trilogy To Switch
The story is laughable, especially when compared to FFT, but they are competent games. I'm glad they'll be on Switch.
Re: Review: Slain: Back From Hell (Switch eShop)
Too difficult? Bro, do you even Souls? -goes to buy it-
Re: Review: Sonic Forces (Switch)
A very harsh review IMO. I found the game to be more than enjoyable. I also got it for 20€, which is a killer price.
