They already left the handheld market, so unless they do more and more price cuts on the PS4 I don’t see what else they can do. And to think last year the debate was if the Switch was DOA.
Nice to hear you are a bit better Alex! Still, you sounded a bit off at the beginning, so take care of yourself.
Speaking of the cases, I have a chunky one that I got to protect the Switch now, but I wish to change it in the close future, but this Arcade case seems a bit chunky.
Personally, I'd go for Watefield Design's Pouch for the Nintendo Switch - it protects my Switch enough, it can be elegant and not scream "I'm high tech!", and I can throw it inside my backpack or my pouch without it taking so much space.
This would be amazing... Give me a roller coaster based on Rainbow Road and I would be happy. This is definitively on my to visit list. Shame it seems so far away yet.
I’ve never had a game before release date, but I don’t mind if others get it, since there some small shops here that do that. What I DO mind, is these people that get the game before release date and screw everyone by uploading the full game to YouTube, and posting spoilers in the game video.
It’s sad, but I prefer what NoE is going to do if it favors not having all those spoilers on the net two or three days before.
If it fixes the horrible loading times, I will get it. I miss playing monopoly, and maybe like this I get an excuse to play with my mom when we are on vacation.
I used to love Ace Attorney, but the new trilogy fell flat for me. I would double dip on a collection of the first three, but I already have Dual Destinies and haven’t even started it. Maybe I’d get the second trilogy to play it soon and get it out of the way. Now, a new game with focus on Wright would be great!
What a shame. Those falls in the frame rate in docked mode are terrible, and the bluriness of portable mode is definitively under 720p. It would be interesting to learn what kind of development he’ll the game went through to have so many problems with optimization.
At the end, I’ll pass. There are too many good games out to play over Rime.
Motion Sickness? Ouch, that sounds like an awful port. Since it was drawing some parallels with The Wind Waker, I wanted to give it a try but I’ll pass, at least to see if they patch it in the future but I don’t have many hopes for it. Shame. Would love more information on what happened to this port, considering Tantalus is quite good at porting!
I’m surprised it did relatively well, since reviews panned Sonic Forces, and I though the Switch version would be the worst selling one since it was so criticized by its graphics. Well, Sonic has always done relatively well in the UK.
Maybe Capcom would have even better profits if they released XX worldwide or ported some of the games they released, like the Disney collection. Just a suggestion, y’know.
This sounds like Microsoft is planning to pull out of the console business.... I mean, it wouldn’t be much of a difference for me since I don’t care for much of Microsoft’s first party offerings, but less competition is never good.
We’ll probably get a Portable versión with the same old graphics, because Capcom is Capcom. But I doubt we will see MHW the Switch. Couldn’t they at least have released XX on the west?
The Switch is getting plenty of shelf space here - it will be one the things to gift this Holiday. And I’m glad we get worms, I loved the releases on PC.
What a bummer, I don’t know if I will be able to watch it here with you guys since that day is the university’s career fair and I already have three interviews in the morning.
I do believe that, bar any big delay due to unforeseen circumstances, Pokémon will be 2018’s flagship holiday title. And a mainline Pokémon game you can play on your TV is gonna be Wild.
Nintendo’s in beast mode. BotW is selling crazily well and has less than a year in the market, Odyssey will sell crazily good and the Switch will sell more than the Wii U in a single year.
If the first year has been this good, I can’t wait to see how the future shows!
I didn’t watch it willingly. It appeared on my feed because I had watched some other Mario videos - the trailers. I cut it off, but it’s annoying that I’m basically cutting YouTube off until after Odyssey releases.
I need Golden Sun - I really want an ending to that cliffhanger, even if its a crappy game. Don't leave us hanging like Valve did with Half Life 3, Nintendo.
He deserved it - if he gets the game before release date, cool, play it and enjoy it but don't ruin it for everyone else! If you are being an attention seeker by ruining everybody's experience, you don't get to complaint.
Specially since so many people are trying to stay unspoiled and all this stuff is just appearing on Youtube.
It looks nice as a little time waster while I'm on the subway or the bus.... But I have a complaint already. Pregistration is NOT available on Chile's Play Store! I already had the same thing with Fire Emblem Heroes - it isn't available here on Chile, and if I wanted to play it, I had to download the apk to my phone and update it manually.
So, since manually updating is annoying, if this isn't available on Latin America, I won't bother. I won't jump through the hoops for a company that ignores a whole part of the world!
I’ve never played an Animal Crossing, but a game like this to waste some minutes while I’m on the subway could be nice, so I’ll check it out. Hopefully Nintendo releases it worldwide, not just on some countries.
I have only 4 games up to this point, but one of those is BotW and it has consumed my life since I started playing. I’m 75 hours in and I still have a Divine Beast to go.
Plus, add being and a budget and I’ve skipped many games I’m interested in like Mario+Rabbids, so I kind of get the point. I won’t complain, though - I just want time to play some more!
More story and more post game? Nice, I may be tempted to trade in my copy of Moon since I haven’t finished it yet. Plus it seems Lusamine gets more screen time that simply going full on crazy, so that is a plus on my books.
Sigh, how is my wallet going to handle this Holiday season?
I like the idea, but I’ll pass since I already have a backlog and Odyssey’s coming, plus, I want to see what the deal is with the DLC. I don’t want to get the game to get a new “Legends” version in a year.
Depending on the Special Edition’s price here, I may get it. I love the art books and I am still salty I passed XCX’s special edition to save up for the FE Fates Special Edition. But if my local distributor goes crazy with the prices, then I’ll stick with the regular version.
While the point about linearity is respectable, I don’t really agree with it. Breath of the Wild wouldn’t have that sense of unlimited exploration if they forced checkpoints and some kind of linearity on you. I wanted to find everything, but maybe others are not interested in the memories and the lore, so why should they be forced to wast time in that? I love that the game allows you to structure your path as you want.

Re: Bayonetta 3 is In Development and is a Switch Exclusive
Nintendo is doing brilliant work here.
And we need more Enzo and Rodin. Just no Loki!

Tears of joy! Playing Bayo anywhere will be fantastic!
And playing with the Pro Controller will be outright godly.

Re: Pokémon Ultra Sun And Moon Hide A Touching Tribute To An "Amazing Guy"
Iwata may be gone, but he is not forgotten. As an engineer, as Nintendo's CEO, and as a person he is dearly missed.
This is truly a touching tribute from Game Freak, and a testament to his coding skills.

Well, I haven’t finished Moon so I will trade in for Ultra Moon. I didn’t have any hope for US/UM but it seems it is a good third version.

Re: YouTuber Gets Banned From Site For Streaming Super Mario Odyssey

I'm not downloading this in late November if I have to get the apk.

Re: We Almost Got Golf Story On The Wii U

Anybody has news on the patch the devs promised? I know the already submitted it to Nintendo, but I don't know if it has been approved already.
