@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."

I don't know what this means.

@progx The site is barely Nintendo focused? Lol wut

@Serpenterror What was the point of buying it twice, especially if you're not going to play it for a few years?

@reporterdavid I hope not. We could have another Wii U on our hands with a name like that.

@Itachi2099 This aged well.

@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.

@L27 But why?

@SpaceboyScreams There has been lawsuits.

Contractors are always treated like second class citizens it seems.

@martynstuff People just lost their jobs and you're joking about it? Geez.

@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.

I haven't bought it yet, but I want to. Huge backlog at the moment, plus busy with life in general.

@Jack_Goetz Happy that it's over? You act like it's a chore to collect. Shouldn't you enjoy it?

@AccessibleDaydream That's highway robbery. Why didn't you sell privately?

@Ooccoo_Jr You have a wife?!?

@Bobb what did you say?

@Banks Those aren't nipples. Lol

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.

@Poodlestargenerica You haven't seen ANY articles about how it's been going over the years? Lol

@ikki5 There was only ever two voices for Ash.

@tonyp1987 That's only movies.

@DiamondJim That's really sad. I hate when startups struggle.

Not much of a collection.

@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.

@NintendoWife That's an analyst's job. Not sure what you're wanting exactly. Lol

@demacho It does that. You just have to use your imagination.

@-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.

@VoidofLight I thought it was an American tourney?

@rushiosan I thought it was because of Capcom?

@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.

@Ristar24 I wish there was an easy way of playing Transformers: FoC. I only got to play War for Cybertron.

@GoshJosh Sarcasm?

@LikelySatan Which would be a good thing.

@PinderSchloss It took you three days? Really? That seems pretty dramatic.

By the way, there have been plenty of easier Mario games that came before the movie. Lol

@Mauzuri You liked Skyward Sword more than BotW and TotK? I thought Skyward Sword was a watered down experience.

Oh, and don't even get me started on the padding and pacing, especially towards the mid and end game ("get these musical notes to proceed"). Having to do the Imprisoned battles like three times was annoying.

@samuelvictor As an American, I'm familiar with the word "inchworm," but I've only ever heard them be called caterpillars here. Heck, the construction equipment company, Caterpillar, was founded in America.

@Hank_Scorpio What do you mean?

@locky-mavo Do you have a link to that? I'm curious to see it.

@nessisonett Going by the comment count, it worked. Lol

Good thing I almost never get games at launch anymore. I always get burned by bugs or DLC that'll be added later in a "complete" edition. Nintendo is about the only publisher I'll buy games from at launch now.

NA is lovely, but JP/EU is even more lovely.

@Ryu_Niiyama Because Pokémon fans

@TheSaneInsanity What do you mean?

@bonjong23 Your life must be pretty carefree if this is what makes you angry.

@Dr_Corndog I would say Twitter is a mistake, but I also see this kind of complaining other places (even on this site).

I guess the internet was a mistake?

@OFFICIALMichi Except the game is still not what it used to be? They've removed incentives that existed before the pandemic, such as the legendaries that you could get from weekly research breakthroughs. So, now they've nerfed remote raids, but still have yet to provide other ways of getting legendaries.

This has nothing to do with "community" or "getting outside" like Niantic continues to spout. It has to do with getting that delicious location data that Niantic can sale. Good job falling for Niantic's BS excuses I guess?

@RupeeClock Then the time period is present day. That example for Mario can just be a case of him liking retro stuff.

@DoctorRadish Can people not play retro games now?

@Wheatly this isn't a simple a port

Could never get into turn based RPGs (save for Pokémon), but I've heard good things about this series. Should I give it a shot?

@GoshJosh Did you actually play it?

@Chocobo_Shepherd What do you mean by "We're not doing phrasing"?

I'll buy full price if they ever fix the bugs and performance. If they don't, I'll buy on a deep discount just for curiosity sake.
