@Not_Soos Supposedly that whole thing about Pikachu wasn't accurate.
The answer likely lies in the Japanese word 胸, which can mean both chest or breasts/boobs. What appears to have happened is that the phrase "big chest" got misinterpreted on the Japanese side first. Iwata meant "big chest" as in large pectoral muscles, but somewhere down the line in retelling the story this turned into "huge boobs", like a bad game of telephone.
I will. Anytime I have a redundant system due to backwards compatibility, I'll sell the older system. I'll never touch it again if I can play the games on the new system (especially if the performance is better). I only have so much space in my house.
@NintendoByNature Nintendo already told investors that it would be unveiled within the current fiscal year, which ends this March. Unless something went terribly wrong during development, I feel they would commit to that.
@Jeronan Except it's not just this site. Plenty of general gaming sites are poking fun at the 11" version. Honestly, at the 11" size, I don't understand why you wouldn't just get a gaming laptop and use a controller with it. What would be the pros to using going with it over a laptop? It sure as heck isn't the portability.
@RupeeClock It's not that deep. This is just a cute game for a general audience. Only Sonic fans know about things like open-zones, boost formula, and momentum. Lol
Absolutely gorgeous game. Usually don't play these types of games, but I'm giving this a shot. Really wish we could get another mainline Metal Slug game.
@axelhander Why? It has no impact on you if it's brought back. It's not like you're forced to buy it. I honestly don't understand why you hate it in the first place.
@Ashfan2020 Please say sike. Most people consider it to be one of the worst games of all time. Even as a 7 year old kid, I knew the game was garbage. Lol
@NeonMullet 94 and the Movie SNES games were so good!
@ScalenePowers @Papery0shi I'm confused by your disappointment. How are those numbers not decent? The game came out May 23rd, so it's only counting eight days of May + June.
The Origami King moved 2.82 copies in under three months after launch. It also launched during the height of the pandemic. This was when people were staying at home and buying more games than usual.
@Overzeal I'm lost. Is this a reference to something?
@CazSonOfCaz Being nice to have Sora in Smash? As for this collection, it isn't just going to be on Switch, so it wouldn't play a part in trying to butter up Nintendo.
@Expa0 I can understand not thinking the style fits, but ugly? I think that's a little dramatic.
@somnambulance @sketchturner Are we looking at the same box art? I don't get how it looks like Scooby Doo, an American cartoon. It looks like an anime. Lol
People complain about all these ports, remasters, and remakes (and the prices), but this really reinforces the fact that Nintendo's strategy is working. I guess it's just a case of a loud minority on the internet. Or maybe they're still buying these games, despite complaining.

@RainbowGazelle Nobody outside of the US cares about baseball? Bro, what. It's huge in numerous Latin and Asian countries, especially Japan.
Re: Poll: Will You Trade In Your Switch When Switch 2 Arrives?
@Ryu_Niiyama Posting it on FB Marketplace/Craigslist would be better.
Re: Poll: Will You Trade In Your Switch When Switch 2 Arrives?
@Jalex_64 Haven't heard anything about deteriorating launch Switches, which are almost 8 years old now.
Re: Poll: Will You Trade In Your Switch When Switch 2 Arrives?
@Ichiban I don't see how modern consoles are any more fragile than older ones. For example, it's not like the PS2 was known for being built well.
Re: Poll: Will You Trade In Your Switch When Switch 2 Arrives?

Re: Is This Our Best Look Yet At 'Switch 2'?
@Keman Why would Nintendo need to change their plans if you're saying all the leaks were fake? Lol
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Klonoa: Empire of Dreams (GBA)
Japan for me. I would've gone with Europe, but the cheesy blur effect ruined it.
People who voted for NA have to be trolling.
Re: Rumour: Switch Virtual Console Was Apparently Nintendo's "Original Plan"
@Truegamer79 I definitely agree with most of your post, but I don't see how 4 bucks a month is overpriced.

Re: Tech Fans Have Gone Full 'Layton' In Analysing The 'Switch 2' Motherboard
@Marthstache Matters to me. There's plenty of AAA games (not EA and Ubi) that are good.
Re: Tech Fans Have Gone Full 'Layton' In Analysing The 'Switch 2' Motherboard
@nocdaes I too am not excited about something that hasn't been unveiled yet.

@PikminMarioKirby Out of everything announced so far, this is the only "good" thing?
Re: Bandai Namco Unveils New Pac-Man Game, And It's Probably Not What You Expect
@Kestrel Pac-Man doesn't need to be "modernized." Games like World and Championship Edition were great.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (3DS)
@Vyacheslav333 I don't know how you can say the Japanese color scheme is boring. It has a cohesive and unique one that goes with the 3DS label.

Re: Potential Switch Port Round-Up - The Wii U Games That Haven't Come To Switch
@nocdaes You really can't make the same argument. DKCTF was a critical and financial success on Wii U; SF0 was not.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Might Be Gearing Up For A GameCube Controller Comeback
@axelhander Why? It has no impact on you if it's brought back. It's not like you're forced to buy it. I honestly don't understand why you hate it in the first place.
Re: Poll: With 'Switch 2' Rumours Swirling, Will There Be A September Direct This Year?
I don't think we'll see the Switch 2 announcement this month. I'm leaning towards October. I'd love to be wrong though.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Donkey Kong Country (GBA)
Tbh, I don't like any of them. Japan is the best, but it's not saying much.

Re: Review: SNK Vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos (Switch) - A Great-Looking But Painfully Average Fighter
@Zenszulu Yeah, I'm confused by this. The original game was lambasted. Not like they made a whole lot of changes with this rerelease.
