New costly console, same JoyCon drift. Dreamy marketing.

In what universe is it ever "unfortunate" for Edgeworth to get stuff?

I enjoy this company's games, but the more I see the main guy behind them talk the less I like him. It's the classic ol' "all games are base and crude but I am here to change that" attitude, even though countless developers have been proving for decades that there's more to games than (quoting Chen) "guns and violence and competitions".

It's such an awful, dismissive stance towards what already is and has long been a very diverse creative medium.

Of course Furukawa would have the most boring response imaginable. What a bland piece of bread that man is.

Can't wait.

I'll probably go through most of my unplayed SMT games before November just to make the wait for V easier. Now that I've completed Nocturne I might move on to SMT 1 and 2.

@arpaktiko As long as Miyamoto's the one sinking the franchises, it's all well and good.

Seeing Shinobu all I could think was "Look how they massacred my girl..."

@Zeldafan79 Damn, reading that hard for you?

Strange that they didn't add BotW2 to the 2022 part of the infographic even though the E3 teaser showed the (tentative) year for release.

Oh hell yeah. That's exactly what I wanted. Missed the bit of Treehouse where they said it, thanks for the heads-up.

It's a very surface level comparison that never made much sense. Having eerie and unsettling elements doesn't automatically equal Majora's Mask.

I wish they would include the original G&W Zelda in the one they're releasing. Always wanted to get one but the prices on eBay tend to get crazy.

SMTV looks fantastic, Advance Wars was a great surprise, Metroid Dread is exciting, I'll never say no to Wario Ware and BotW finally got something.

Overall, far better than I expected. Easy 8/10.

I would have voted Fire Emblem, but apparently in NL's eyes that's more niche than WarioWare, Dead Franchise 1, Dead Franchise 2 and... Labo.

Toss-up between the Majora's Mask lamp and the thingie featured in the thumbnail.

"to take notes in an easy and quick way"

Nothing easy and quick about writing on a Switch, mate. Pen and paper or a keyboard get the job done, anything else is a hassle.

SMTV, BotW2, hopefully a new Fire Emblem. Don't really care about the rest.

Those are pretty stupid poll options on Nintendo's part. If you ask whether someone will buy a game for X price and then your poll options are just Yes/No/Maybe, then the main variable, which is the price, becomes irrelevant.

People uninterested in the game and people who are interested but would only buy it for less meld together, rendering the whole question pointless.

Very much my kind of thing.

Is there a more off-putting combination of words for an award show's description than IGN judges? I certainly don't believe so.

Reactionary Nintendo fanboys get confused about literally nothing. In other news, we still breathe oxygen.

@rjejr Sounds like you should be asking why what your kids did is not considered a sport, as opposed to just settling for the idea that it's not, and then thinking it's wrong for something else to get the recognition.

That'd be preferable. Nintendo's mid-gen upgrades are always underwhelming and the last thing the E3 presentation needs is a huge chunk dedicated to it. Just games, please.

I remember this critter from my childhood.

Arguably Yakuza 0 did that when I played it last October. It made me laugh constantly, teared me up, threw fun/weird activities at me at a break-neck pace and made me feel like a child in awe of a marvelous toy for 150+ hours.

That said, I've never thought too much about what my "Top 5" for games is. I once put Tales of Symphonia in first place and kind of called it a day.

One can never have too many dramatic AA close-ups.

Japan gets Genealogy of the Holy War, the West gets, er... Super Baseball Simulator 1.000. Woo-hoo.

"Fun stuff ensues - Boomers unamused.

In other fresh news, the Sun was warm today."

Yaaay. Just what I want when I think of Nintendo: mobile games.

"Are you optimistic?"

Nope. Haven't touched my Switch for a year and I doubt there will be anything in 2021 that'll change that. The opportunity for that was SMTV and I have about zero confidence in a game with three teasers to its name releasing in time.

That's called a pachislot, not pachinko. Different things.

I wouldn't even call that out if it were some random person making the mistake - but this is supposed to be a professional article. Come on, now.

Nothing about that looks positive to me. Especially considering how SMTV is now missing because of course it is.

The screenshots don't look particularly great, but it could be fun depending on how they structure it. Would love to fight an Orb Piercer at the Goblet of Giants.

I'm way more interested in Season 2 though, to be honest. This is also really good timing for that announcement since I watched the movie less than a week ago.

You people sure are hellbent on dishing out Mother 3 articles as of late.

Kotick is absolutely disgusting.

Never cared about Mario. Even when I like some of the 3D games, I like them despite the character.

Just in time as per usual. /s

Nice to see Nier doing well. Can't wait to pick up Replicant myself.

Devoting time of your life not to create something meaningful but rather to remove content from a game... Yup, that's a whole new brand of pitiful.

@Kalmaro Modify... the cartridge? Please tell me you're joking or just woke up.

"So how do we get our game to generate press?"
"Just slap a senselessly long title on the thing and we'll have all news sites reporting on it"
"Brilliant"

It's called emulation and it's 100% legal provided he owns a physical copy to apply the fan patch to. Not sure what all the wink winks and nudge nudges in the article are for.

@jamesthemagi That's a different thing, though. You're saying it's sad the game turned out to be bad - the other guy is asking why it would be sad for a bad game to flop.

Which it's not. Just deserved.

Played this game and got 100% on Steam. Won't be everyone's cup of tea, but I found it damn cool.

It's worth mentioning that the timer's countdown won't always be real time unless you make no progress at all. The protagonist has a little place that you can decorate as well as increase its size by digging, light up the fireplace and such. The comfier his "home" gets, the quicker time flies for the protagonist. Towards the end of my countdown, every real-time second was equal to about twenty in-game seconds. There are other ways to actively make time go faster, too.

I'm increasingly convinced this guy's a robot. Everything he says is so manufactured, derivative and dull.

Totally reads like a copypaste with a [Insert Suggestion Here] and a couple instances of [Insert Name].

Hey thanks for the heads-up, might as well dislike it myself.

@DK-Fan
"Those kinds of responses sounds too PR and prefabricated."
That's basically Furukawa Shuntaro in a nutshell. He might well be the most nondescript president Nintendo ever had.

Probably a Mii Costume in the shape of BotW's golden Korok turd.

@Zach777 If there's something I've learned about Nintendo, it's that they've never been in a rush to improve period.
