There seems to be such a turnover of content in Fortnite. It doesn’t strike me as anything other than a fleeting brand exposure, gone when the next “big” character reveal hits.
No. I’ve never bought a Wario Ware game. Mini game compilations are a waste of my time and money. These should just be phone games. It’d probably do really well as a mobile game. It’d be very on-brand to feature a greedy character to headline a micro-transaction mini game compilation.
For me the Xbox brand is nothing. Its attachment to other brands makes them “uncool” and “messy” by association. Like I’m done with Bethesda and Activision all together.
If they bought Nintendo I’d probably only retro game. I don’t see any value Microsoft could bring Nintendo. It would be a one sided relationship and with Xbox siphoning off all the brand-image from Nintendo, diluting it, until Mario and Zelda become nothing more than forgotten mascots.

I will never purchase an Xbox associated product again. At this point the brand is a zombie, animated my Microsoft’s money.
@sleepinglion eh for me it’s the vocal entitlement some pirates display. Worse is when they think of themselves as some type of do-gooder, taking a morale stance against evil Nintendo.

Re: Embracer Group To Split Into Three Separate Companies
This is the same company that has been buying IPs up for the last 5 years right?
Anyone ever read, “There was an Old Lady that Swallowed a Fly?”
Eventually she went kablooie after swallowing a horse.
Re: Saber Interactive CEO Doesn't Think $70 Video Games Are Sustainable
Gamers are cheap.
Some of these games should be close to $90 or more the way development doses have ballooned.
That or gaming companies need to reduce the amount they are pumping into them by investing in more efficient processes.

I’m going to assume it will have a Switch 2 version eventually, so I’ll wait for it then
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Mario vs. Donkey Kong For Switch?
No. Honestly. Donkey Kong 94 remake would’ve gotten me interested. They should have remasters that one
Re: Talking Point: Do You Want To See Colourful Cartridges Return For 'Switch 2'?
I’m sure some gamers would complain about it being kiddy.
I don’t care either way
Re: Yes, Nintendo Is Aware Of Palworld's Existence
All this company does is copy what others are doing. All of their games. Nothing special.
Re: Hideki Kamiya Reveals Why He Left PlatinumGames
Kamiya is a drama queen and has an inflated ego.
That said Platinum signed with a devil with the Tencent deal and anyone with a brain could see that Kamiya’s time at the dev had an expiration date on it after that.
Re: Fortnite's Dev Really Wants A Crossover With Nintendo But Hasn't Had Any Luck
There seems to be such a turnover of content in Fortnite. It doesn’t strike me as anything other than a fleeting brand exposure, gone when the next “big” character reveal hits.
Re: Eiji Aonuma Comments On The Possibility Of A Playable Zelda In The Future
@Cia Zelda can be whatever the devs want her to be.
They can do a twist where you think you’re playing as Link, but then reveal he is actually a she, and she is actually Princess Zelda.

Re: Kamiya To Take His Bayonetta Vision 'To The Grave', Thinks Franchise Will Still Continue
This guy has an expiration date on anything he does. He has no integrity at all. Class A diva, thinking he’s a rockstar.
Re: Soapbox: Ocarina Of Time's Water Temple Was Tough, But It Doesn't Deserve Its Reputation
It’s not that’s it’s tough, it’s just a drag. It’s a drag on the pacing and it sucks
Re: Zelda: TOTK And Mario Wonder Land GOTY Nominations At The Game Awards 2023
@MadmanMike oh it’ll win. The sheer amount of bandwagoning PC fans will do, will make it happen. Not sure if that’s the right word
Re: Zelda: TOTK And Mario Wonder Land GOTY Nominations At The Game Awards 2023
I’m playing Engage right now. I don’t get what’s so good about it.
The voice acting, story, and character design is so bad that it actually takes away from
The gameplay, which so far feels pretty standard Fire Emblem
Re: Nintendo Is Most-Nominated Publisher At The Game Awards 2023
Haha! Suck it, DreamCastGuy
Re: Super Mario RPG Switch Leaked Online Ahead Of Next Week's Release
@DonkeyBrainKing
So what is it? If the theft isn’t a big deal to their pockets, then you’re not “sticking it to them.”
The only one who gains anything out of the piracy is the pirate.
Piracy isn’t a form of activism. It’s just how selfish people validate thinking they’re above everyone else.
Re: Super Mario RPG Switch Leaked Online Ahead Of Next Week's Release
Pirates and leakers suck. And they always will.
It’s their attitude of believing they’re better than everyone else and should be allowed to “demo” the game while the majority purchases it.
Just excuses to try and validate their thievery lol at least own up to your faults and have an ounce of self-awareness. People would respect you more
Re: Miyamoto And Avi Arad Have Been Discussing The Zelda Movie For A Decade
Avi Arad is a airhead.
Re: Surprise! Nintendo Is Officially Working On A Live-Action Legend Of Zelda Movie
@Moistnado Brie Larson in white tights and a tunic? Yes please.
Re: Surprise! Nintendo Is Officially Working On A Live-Action Legend Of Zelda Movie
Avi Arad?
I wonder if he’s going to force Venom in the movie?
Re: Nintendo Switch Has Now Sold Over 132 Million Units
It won’t hit the DS any time soon
Re: Poll: WarioWare: Move It! Is Out Today, Will You Be Getting It?
No. I’ve never bought a Wario Ware game. Mini game compilations are a waste of my time and money. These should just be phone games. It’d probably do really well as a mobile game. It’d be very on-brand to feature a greedy character to headline a micro-transaction mini game compilation.
Re: Video: Wario Side-By-Side Voice Comparison (New VA & Charles Martinet)
Listen. If I didn’t know it was a new guy, I wouldn’t be analyzing the hell out of it trying to describe what’s different or wrong about it.
It’s fine. Mario is fine. Occasionally he sounds like Mickey Mouse, but it’s ok

Re: Sakurai Is Sceptical That Future Smash Bros. Titles Can Match Ultimate's Scope
@JohnnyMind a reboot with a smaller roster would be such a bad move. The bad PR would be crazy.
Re: Sakurai Is Sceptical That Future Smash Bros. Titles Can Match Ultimate's Scope
I spent a lot of time with Ultimate and I didn’t even finish the single player word of light thing.
If I was still a kid and didn’t have adult stuff, this game would’ve consumed me for years.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Super Mario Bros. Wonder?
7
Tropical Freeze is a better platfomer.
That’s the only reason why. I’d give TF a 9 and by that scale Wonder would have to be a 7
Re: Random: Nintendo Gives Princess Peach Some Facial Tweaks In 'Showtime!' Key Art
I’m okay with it. I like the princess peach design in the movie. Felt more lively and less doe-eyed.
Re: Random: Star Fox Dev Thinks Star Fox Adventures "Was Too British"

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2 Switch Rating Surfaces Online
GTAV would make more sense
Re: Video: Mario Vs. Donkey Kong Side-By-Side Graphics Comparison (Switch & GBA)
I kind of wish we got a Mario Vs DK remake from the GB with updated 2D sprites.
I remember being disappointed with this one. Lacked character
Re: Internal Xbox Email Details Desire To Acquire Nintendo
For me the Xbox brand is nothing. Its attachment to other brands makes them “uncool” and “messy” by association. Like I’m done with Bethesda and Activision all together.
If they bought Nintendo I’d probably only retro game. I don’t see any value Microsoft could bring Nintendo. It would be a one sided relationship and with Xbox siphoning off all the brand-image from Nintendo, diluting it, until Mario and Zelda become nothing more than forgotten mascots.
Nintendo’s culture is what makes them special. They maintain that because they are able to operate freely with very little foreign interference.
There is no value here for Nintendo, gamers, or even the Japanese community.
Phil Spencer is a joke. I’m tired of hearing about gamepass as some sort of messiah when it’s really just twisting gaming and devaluing all the energy gone into making games.
I thought in my older age I was kind of done being a fanboy, but just knowing that this slime ball even thought about how to plan an acquisition of Nintendo has me literally seething.
I will never purchase an Xbox associated product again. At this point the brand is a zombie, animated my Microsoft’s money.
Re: Red Dead Redemption Fans Aren't Happy About Rockstar's "Lazy Port"
I’m fine with it. We used to get ports like this all the time. Price is a bit annoying
Re: Talking Point: Will You Pay $50 For Red Dead Redemption On Switch?
Physical I will
Re: Talking Point: Which Nintendo IP Should 'Switch 2' Launch With?
I think a 3D Mario followed by Prime 4 a few months later would be a strong launch

Re: Poll: Final Fantasy IV - Do You Prefer The Original Or The DS Remake?
I tried getting into the remake as a kid. It was my first, literal first time playing an FF game. It’s turned me off to the entire series.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 15th)
Elden Ring.
Not enjoying it as much as Dark Souls 3

Re: What Course Are You Most Excited About In The Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Wave 5 DLC?
3 city tracks?
I don’t know if this is unpopular but I could really do without the real city tracks.
I can’t race on them, there’s too much stuff happening.
Re: Random: Sakurai Explains Why True Twin-Stick Controls Weren't Possible For Kid Icarus: Uprising
Call it as it is. Game had awful controls which squandered its potential.
Should have just made it a Wii game.
