Gamers blow my mind. An incredibly talented developer talks about the system and their first thought is "Bring a game we can already play elsewhere here!". Just play the game over there! Why wouldn't you want him to create new experiences? I honestly wish ports we're never even invented. The industry would have so many more games. It's a shame. People want 15 versions of the same thing. Makes no sense.

FINALLY! "Shower with your dad ' SWITCH version incoming! (Read between the LINES, people!)

@Anti-Matter Why don't you have a seat.

@Anti-Matter

Why don't you have a seat. You know I have the whole chat log right heeeeere.

"mechs? Cool!"

"Smartphone original..."

<immediately loses all interest

@OorWullie yessssssss! Go Celtics!

@Hikingguy I rarely, rarely check responses so I'm sorry for this being so late but I'm sorry to hear about your son.

@D_e_A_c_T Safe spaces are a liberal creation. I didn't claim anyone was out to get me. What you fail to realize is that something isn't inherently wrong just because it hurts your feelings. Not agreeing with =/= hate. I am allowed to believe an unnatural process is just that, unnatural. You can feel however you want about it.

If I decided I was a tree you would laugh at me. You would say I surely should be able to tell I am not a tree. So, maybe you decide it would hurt my feelings to tell me so you're just going to go on telling me I am a tree. The question becomes are you doing me a favor by not hurting my feelings? Or are you doing me a disservice by playing along to save my precious feelings.

This is logic over emotion, bud. Toughen up, ya know?

@D_e_A_c_T I know liberals think otherwise, but I don't have to pretend things are real that aren't so I don't hurt someone with a mental illness' "feelings"... Deal_with_it.

@D_e_A_c_T no.

@Mogster he. Not she.

@Deadlyblack Offtopic but what an awful cartoon your gif is. Do you like that show? Lol

Everyone at Nintendo's reasoning for things never makes any sense and just always sounds like word salad:

Miyamoto explained "The reasoning for this decision was based on the fact that we required the user to associate actions with reactions by being the user in relation to the experience"

Every time they explain why they made a decision it sounds like that to me lol. I'm honestly confused as to how they are so good at what they do when they can't even make sense of it themselves.

@mrgawain

There's an interview where miyamoto uses a Japanese word that describes "feel of play" and he says he doesn't know how its be described in English. So there's something to what you're feeling

I thought the new battle mode had the old style arenas. These look like the old mk8 "tracks as arenas" style

@Soundtoxin "I'm not going, o buy a game I really want because the company making it won't let me hear it in a language I probably don't understand"

Are you people serious about the Japanese voice acting? The English is 100 times better. The Japanese is ten times over the top lol. WAHAHAAAHAHAHA for the crying lol. Just awful. Stop acting like you aren't just preferring the Japanese because you think its cool and trendy to like the original language over your own. It is not better. Its too over the top and the emotions absolutely don't translate to our speaking style.

What about Ultra Street Fighter 2?

See u know it had it all when i forget the best looking Mario ever! And enough with this "looks out of place". I have mooooore than enough faith Nintendo wont release it until it looks great and makes sense

U guys are all nuts. As an RPG / Adventure lover this direct had it all for me.Zelda, Dragon Quest x 2, Xenoblade, Fire Emblem, Shin Megami Tensei, Octopath Odyssey... Literally the presentation could not have been better for me!

@A01 Dissapointing? I have bashed Nintendo the ENTIRE Wii U gen and even I am screaming "they are back!" I mean, obviously tastes vary but... Breath of the Wild looked incredible, Mario Odyssey somehow even better, Xenoblade 2 was as epic as can be, a new Shin Megami Yensei, FOUR Dragon Quest games ( x, xi, heroes1, and heroes2 ), Octopath Traveler taking Square back to it's roots, sports games with NBA and Fifa, a new Fire Emblem (albeit a Warriors title).. They even had a decent looking new IP in arms.. At some point you have to say, "what more do you need?"

But the main event is tonight at 11pm right? (Eastern standard time, I'm in Boston, MA)

"I heard" Yamauchi San performed the ancient Japanese tradition of the "brown goodbye", where one party loudly grunts while inserting their thumb into their rectum, pauses 60 seconds while maintaining eye contact with the opposite party, and then gave them a thumbs down, meaning they brought shame to their companies.

They were hoping for a " yellow hello"

@MetaRyan well you have about 10 weeks til Switch comes out so save 6 bucks extra per week...

Everyone acting like this is big news? He's an NPC salesman character that says one word, annoyingly I might add, and has zero plot relevance. My, how standards have dropped.

@Hikingguy Odd comment. After LttP was Links Awakening, which totally stuck to the series roots and was incredible. Next was Ocarina of Time, which was essentially a 3D version of LttP but with added sense of wonder and adventure. After THAT (5 years later) then it started straying from its roots...

So is Emily Rogers an actual girl or another guy playing pretend?

A true king of the "Look how cute I am! So cute grown men would be embarrassed to recommend me to their friends!" Genre

WII u LAUNCHED last gen lol

@gcunit omg a business making a decision based on getting more money from it? Awful! Amirite??

@PlywoodStick "Fetch" is never happening. Let it go

@smashboy2000 orrrrrr they did it at a reasonable time for Japan, their homeland, with Europe being the territory they care least about lol

@Anti-Matter mm hmm. And on a scale of 1 to 10, what is your opinion of Chris Hansen?

@Anti-Matter you might not like this game because a couple characters have sad or mad faces, and there's even a spoooooky ghost!

@TobiasAmaranth Did LKD get a sex change?

@therealgamer I'm very excited for Yooka laylee and the Mine Game, the rest I don't care about

@Anti-Matter how old are you?

@SLIGEACH_EIRE i never got over the fact that they disnt think we deserved it l. I mean, after all, we exist as human beings so we are entitled to it, correct?

Nintendo needs to just give EA and the rest of the top ten third parties unwilling to port to their system a big lump sum of money. "Listen, we need our system to get atleast most od your biggest game franchises. Here is a million bucks to split amongst your top guys as a goodwill gesture and lets do some business.

Just the word amongst hardcore gamers that Nintendo is no longer being left out is WELL worth that 10 million. Consider it research and development and-or advertising costs and it will more than pay for itself

@LegendofPokemon

Well, you were right it was pretty fun! Thanks!

@LegendOfPokemon So you thought something along these lines: "Every single time in the past 20 years a game gets delayed, someone makes a fool of themselves by posting this same old, tired, and by now with the internet and DLC nearly irrelevant, quote. I know they look foolish because they think they look smart by saying this, but I think it would be pretty fun to use it for the 7 millionth time on THIS particular delayed game!"

@samuelvictor Do you happen to know anyone looking for screenplays since you are an insider?

@PanurgeJr Why would a Daisy and Mario relationship be any more interesting than a Peach and Mario one? Neither are developed characters.

@DanteSolablood

They also profit if their hardware is perceived to be good and lose money if it's perceived to be bad. So, them talking it up isn't really anything to get excited over, or draw anything from...

Good riddance. A bunch of "pretty good" entries in normally great 1st party series. Zero 3rd party support. A 2D platformer console in 2012-2017. Clunky OS. Clunky Gamepad. Every game screaming "THIS IS FOR KIDS" even in series typically for everyone. Practically impossible for me to get any friends and family members to play it for more than 20 minutes.

This console offered so little for a Nintendo console that it's surprising. An utter disappointment all around. Thank God the Switch looks like it'll be awesome. If it was another Wii U. I would be very worried for the future of my favorite game company.

@Alshain01 O ya, the best! Unless you're into RPGs, sports games, 3d platformers, adventure games... Essentially anything other than 2d platformers. In reality though, it is a strong 3rd place for 2d platformers behind SNES and NES.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE

They already did give developers that option, and the vast majority hated the idea and/or didn't know what to do with it. There's no reason to go back to a feature that failed with the Wii U. It's done.

@SirQuincealot

Dont even bother on this website. I say this all the time and NOBODY here gets it. They are adult males that think it's perfectly normal to talks about how cute and important miiverse drawings are to them.

A non-switching switch? hmmm...

@jimi "i LOVE the miiverse drawings" what are you, 5 years old? Grow up.
