Re: Nintendo Would Rather "Organically Expand The Organisation" Than Rely Solely On Acquisitions

@UltimateOtaku91 I feel those are probably the most reasonable companies for Nintendo to be aware of in a potential sale. Not that they would, but I feel that would smart. Although I’m not exactly sure what Spike Chunsoft does outside Mystery Dungeon and Dragon Ball? I thought they were a subsidiary of BandaiNamco? I’m surprised they haven’t taken in Level-5 yet. Aside from a few Yo-Kai Watch games, isn’t everything they release only on Nintendo, aside from mobile games?

I still think they need to merge GameFreak into the company at least, like Sony did with Insomniac. I mean, aside from what, three games on PS4/others, everything they make is Pokémon. And it would hopefully give them the kick in the pants they need to improve quality.

Aside from that, I do agree that all these constant mergers lately have either been pointless (Activision) or disastrous (whatever companies Sony just closed). Honestly, if you can’t make the games yourself and have to constantly buy other companies so you can just slap your name on something, then why keep trying? Looking at you Microsoft.

Re: Best Mario Party Games Of All Time

I feel 9 and 10 should be at the bottom. I haven’t played them, I’ll be honest. But the whole cart mechanic instead of individual movement just feels wrong. Now, if it was a separate mode or way to play in addition to the classic formula, that would have actually been pretty interesting.

Re: Some Fans Aren't Happy About Sonic X Shadow Generations' Changes To The Original

I don’t mind how they’ve been changing Amy a bit over the years. But come on, this game was from well before then. The face hood was funny, and taking out Knuckles’ joke was probably because of stupid touchy feely let’s make everyone feel good about themselves crap that’s always seen today. Classic Sonic was chubby. It’s a joke! What happened to jokes?! Not everything is offensive! And changing Rogue design even slightly to be “more appropriate”? It was never a problem all these years, why start now!?

Re: Random: Mario's New Voice Actor Says It's "Surreal" To Hear His Voice In Mario Party

I had a feeling he’d probably voice Waluigi as well. I thought his voices in Wonder were pretty spot on. His Mario may have been a bit softer than Charles’? But I honestly think he’s doing a good job, and it’s great they found someone who can emulate the voices rather closely, as opposed to like Rosalina’s huge change over the years, or how other games, anime, or cartoons replace voices with ones that sound nothing like they used to.

Re: Nintendo's Latest Job Listing Is On The Hunt For An Intellectual Property Lawyer

I seriously don’t understand why everyone gets mad at Nintendo and their lawsuits over IP protection. Is it their property? Yes. Do they go after people who illegally profit off Nintendo’s property? Yes. That’s perfectly reasonable. Sure there are some things that are a bit. Outlandish. But for the most part they are well within their rights.

Especially on a Nintendo fan site, you’d think everyone here despised them every time there is some lawsuit over something.
