No? Why is this a big deal. The fantasy genera almost always uses britishy sounding accents. Maybe not much in video games, but in movie and tv it’s a thing.
I went into Switch totally on board with owning games digitally, but ever since the pandemic started I value physical games more. Just the idea of having a collection and knowing it’s not going anywhere.
Doesn’t look like a game for me. I want traditional Pokémon except better. Something with more polish and production value and more dev time than a year and a half.
@Vexx2 because Hollywood doesn’t respect the medium. It’s competition. They think they can do it better, so they green light ***** scripts, thinking they’re embracing a game’s vibe rather than doing the IP’s justice.
Then during the marketing all they talk about how big fans they are of the source material.
It’s the same with comics. The quality was rather inconsistent until Marvel Studios came around.
I don’t get the appeal of these expanded celebrity focused ad campaigns. I mean sure. They’re kind of like testimonials. Nintendo is clearly going after millennials with families right now (household of 6 all having a Switch is certainly more lucrative than selling 1 family 1 Wii), but I just don’t see it adding a whole lot of value. Oh well.
I'm trying to put myself in the shoes of a millennial mom, who has 10-12-year-olds being able to connect with Christina Aguilera playing Animal Crossing as her personal driver drives her home. I'm from that generation. I grew up in the 90s. My older sister liked her music. She also gamed on the side. IDK. lol it's weird.
I get the Brie Larson thing. They don't really show her celebrity lifestyle in the ads. If you didn't know who she was, she's just a person enjoying video games.
I’d like to see PG grow but idk…I’m worried. Ever since the announced their Chinese investment partnership…totally botching Tw101’s stretch goals and Bayonetta 3’d lengthy dev time…
@Krull tv play though. Switch isn't exclusively a handheld.
Anyway. Not a business person, but would assume the best route would be a better Switch. Improve on the tech, including the joycons, launch an improved online service, give it a killer app, and let it go.
Getting N64 games was a big deal back during the Wii’s VC days. They do this slow drop every time. It’s obnoxious. Just emulate and be done with it. I’m sure most of you have the old games kicking around anyway.
A lot better than that weeb bimbo thing. Coloring and shading on the face looks a little off, but I suspect they didn't really go into great detail with it.

Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Is Finally Getting DLC
Quality of the tracks look poor.

Re: Nintendo Announces Huge Switch Sale, More Than 1,000 Games To Be Discounted
I went into Switch totally on board with owning games digitally, but ever since the pandemic started I value physical games more. Just the idea of having a collection and knowing it’s not going anywhere.
Re: Memory Pak: Star Fox 64, My Incredible Introduction To The World Of Nintendo
Assault will always be my favorite. It had so much potential.
Re: Switch Outsells Wii And PlayStation, Passes 100 Million Faster Than Any Other Home Console
Think it’ll overtake PS4 and game boy. Not sure about ps2 and the DS
Re: Nintendo President Reiterates That Switch Is "Just In The Middle Of Its Lifecycle"
@Rayquaza2510 idk. Chip shortage. If a successor came out sooner most people wouldn’t be able to get one anyway.
Re: Soapbox: Don't Cheer For Corporate Takeovers - It's Not A Game
TBH just seems like a boring scenario where Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo just keep buying up third party devs.
Re: Metroid Prime Hunters Designer Would Love To See The Game Remade Today
Best part of MPH was the cinematics.
Re: Random: The Rock Will Star In A New "Badass" Video Game Movie
Probably Halo or Call of Duty
Re: No More Heroes Creator Suda51 Says He's Had A Few Meetings With Marvel
I don’t think his style translate well to english. Especially to an already established IP.
Re: Xbox Boss "Trusts" Nintendo To Not Do Anything That Would Harm The Games Industry
@Ogbert Skylanders was pretty popular
Re: Pokémon Legends: Arceus Is 'Exhilarating' And At Times 'Surprisingly Difficult' According To Japanese Media
Doesn’t look like a game for me. I want traditional Pokémon except better. Something with more polish and production value and more dev time than a year and a half.
Still looks like a tech demo.
Re: Xbox Boss "Trusts" Nintendo To Not Do Anything That Would Harm The Games Industry
So he’s saying they bought Activision so a non-gaming company wouldn’t? Okay. I guess.
Re: Xbox Studio Rare "Immensely Pleased" About Banjo-Kazooie's Arrival On Switch
Is this a bigger deal than I thought it was? Idk. Never was a fan of the games.
Re: Konami Sold This Castlevania Pixel Art For Over $26K In Its 'Memorial' NFT Auction
I don't understand what any of this is and why people are valuing it.
I must be getting old.
Frightening.
Re: Random: Logan Paul Got Scammed To The Tune Of $3.5 Million On Fake Pokémon Trading Cards
We sure this isn't just a publicity stunt? Wouldn't surprise me.
Re: Best Of 2021: 10 Overlooked GameCube Gems You Must Play
I adored jungle beat. Tried playing the Wii version and it isn’t the same without the bongos

Yes. I remember this.

Cool. I don’t like Sonic. Liked the movie.
Re: Random: Waluigi And Wario Get A Much Deserved Celebrity Endorsement
These ads are sooo weird
Re: The Saucy Rail Shooter Gal Gun: Double Peace Arrives On Switch In March 2022
Looks insipid.I will never understand the appeal of these games. Is it a fantasy fetish thing?

All I’m saying is I hope they do go under
Re: Talking Point: Are Nintendo's Exclusives Enough To Win A Next-Gen Handheld War?
@Grumblevolcano that's a good point
COVID aside. Hope Nintendo is investing more in its game development. Create more studios or buy some.
Re: Talking Point: Are Nintendo's Exclusives Enough To Win A Next-Gen Handheld War?

I'm sure it'll have its gimmicks.
Re: BioShock 4 Release Window, Time And Setting Details Reportedly Leaked
@Friendly really? I can’t read the name without feeling disgusted. Never disliked anvudeo gsme journalist more than him
Re: Talking Point: Should The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack Library Expand Faster?
Yes. This has everything to do with Nintendo's Japanese business practices by providing customers with a catered service as an experience.
It's outdated and stupid and is clearly hurting their brand in the long run.
Re: Handmade Nintendo Christmas Gifts And Crafts - Festive Gaming Stocking Fillers
IDK. I'm getting less keen on collecting nicknacks as I get older. Just seems like junk to me.

Re: Former Metroid Prime Engineer Admits He Was "Disappointed" With The Wii's Specs
@NinChocolate I'd say that it's created a problem for them when talent starts leaving because of it.
Re: The Game Awards Has A "World Premiere" It's Been Working On With A Dev For 2.5 Years, And One Guess Is Zelda
Prime? My guess.
Re: NEO: The World Ends With You Has 'Underperformed Expectations', Square Enix Says
No marketing for this. Came and went.
Re: A Familiar Foe Is Punished Again By Metroid Dread Sequence Breakers
Idk. I didn’t think the Kraid boss was that great. Cool seeing it again. Kind of one note.
Re: The Pokémon Creative Team Has Been "Through A Lot" With Angry Fan Feedback
The games never needed to be more accessible. They need to say it plainly. The games are hugely popular. Spending more won’t increase sales.
Re: Random: Brie Larson's Back In A New Metroid Dread Instagram Ad
@YusseiWarrior3000 Oscar winner. Outspoken Nintendo fan before the sponsorship. Lead actress in a billion dollar movie.
Yes. I wonder why Nintendo made such a deal 🤔
Re: Soapbox: Can We Please Retire The Phrase ‘Lazy Devs’ Already?
Lazy publishers.
Re: Random: Metroid Dread's Zero Suit Samus Model Is Rather Detailed Up Close
A lot better than that weeb bimbo thing. Coloring and shading on the face looks a little off, but I suspect they didn't really go into great detail with it.
Also. No beauty make makes me feel better

This should be cool
Re: Switch Online Surpasses 32 Million Subs, Nintendo Says It Will Continue To "Improve And Expand" Expansion Pack Tier
I’m going to wait. If they offer more systems and games I’ll consider it. As soon as there is another increase im permanently out
Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Has Now Outsold Mario Kart Wii
At this point I don’t expect Mario Kart 9. They shouldn’t even release it as a cross-generational game. Force people to buy Switch’s successor.
Re: Review: Star Fox 64 - A Cinematic Series High Point
Assault is better imo. Really wish Nintendo ran with some of the mechanics in that game
Re: Review: Mario Party Superstars - A Party Most Hearty
@CharlieGirl then there is Mari kart 8

Oh, Nintendo. If there was a time to choke this wasn’t it.
Re: Random: Nintendo Rejected Samus Voice Acting In Metroid Prime For Being "Too Sexual And Sensual"
@Nerdling Hale would do a good Job. She’s easily recognizable, but still.
Re: Random: Nintendo Rejected Samus Voice Acting In Metroid Prime For Being "Too Sexual And Sensual"
They didn’t get the memo with Smash
Re: Stardew Valley Creator Reveals His Next Game, Haunted Chocolatier
Good for him doing something he enjoys. Makes sense that he use the same engine and assets as Stardew. He’s a team of 1 still right?
