@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.
@Zeebor15 "I'm sure WayForward played a heavy interference in meetings in making sure didn't accidentally get a target painted on all of them by every Gundam loving Yakuza on the planet, but still the idea of the second worst part of Embracer Group being the one with all the connections makes me nervous."
@boxyguy It probably felt boring because a lot of corporations like to use some combination of white, gray, and/or black. Playstation used to have a colorful logo (and colorful buttons on their controllers). Now it's all black and white.
@tseliot @rvcolem1 @Birdgas
At least for PS and Xbox, I remember video games and DVDs releases on Tuesdays. At least for the movies, some people would call it "DVDuesdays." For Nintendo during the GC and Wii eras, I think I remember it being Sundays and Mondays.
@OctolingKing13 It's not just here. I've seen this "news" on other sites too.
@Adol-Bannings Lol. Pokémon is not the same at all, especially if you're comparing this to the mainline games. Different characters, story, region, mechanics, music, etc.
EU. Game covers don't have to have every single character on the box. Reminds me of posters for blockbuster movies that feel the need to have EVERYONE on the poster.
@shgamer Everything about Japan's demographics is irrelevant. The Switch is still the best selling hardware of all time in Japan.
@UltimateOtaku91 I don't think it'd take years. With price drops or new models, the Switch would definitely dethrone the PS2.
I don't know about other countries but, in the US, the Switch has had the same MSRP since launch. Of course there's been tons of sales, but no permanent price cuts.
I think a Switch Mini (that you could fit in your pocket) would be cool. If it was like $100-$150 bucks, I believe it'd sell relatively well. Throw in a Mario Kart 8 Deluxe code and it'd sell like hotcakes.
Nintendo had to update their forecast for sales in the fiscal year from 15 to 15.5 mil. Even Nintendo underestimated how the Switch would do in its 6 year.
@superguy123 The same isn't being said about PS6 is because we're not on the verge of getting a PS6 announcement yet. I'm sure we'll see analysts saying similar things.
@-wc- Not sure what you mean by "purpose built." Joystick drift, notwithstanding, the Switch is plenty durable: that's an issue for all the console makers.
@Ironcore Just leave the system docked. Boom, there's your home console. Nintendo was trying to merge and streamline both development and manufacturing, which is why they're doing hybrid systems now.
@Druidsbrook Agreed. I feel the same about "Smash clones." A lot of the "clones" have merit. Hell, Smash may have popularized the style of fighting games, but the Outfoxies should be considered the first.
We don't say 2D fighters are Street Fighter clones, so why do we do it with Smash and Pokemon? It's just reductive to say they're clones and leave it at that.
