@Grumblevolcano Nintendo can always have a Direct later in the year that focuses on next year's releases. There is absolutely no rule that says that e3 has to be about next year.
@Timppis You would rather them pull a Square Enix, announce a game 6 years before it's ready to be presented, go through name changes, major updates, or even cancellations? Do you have any clue how game development works?
There's a reason devs are not completely transparent on development.
@thesilverbrick There should be a balance, but making new games out of all these would just seem pointless. Smash and Mario Kart don't really need a sequel for a while.
@PlywoodStick Heck his BotW review wasn't really THAT bad. The reaction from the fans is what caused the whole mess to become so toxic. Judging his his site today, it seems that Playtonic fans are doing/about to do the same thing.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE I should point out that there is a distinct difference between timed exclusivity and funding a game. Microsoft may have paid for the Tomb Raider exclusivity, but I doubt they funded the development. Nintendo on the other hand funded the development of Bayonetta 2 and became its publisher.
@ThanosReXXX If I'm a reviewer, am I supposed to give this game a 9 or 10 if it accomplishes what it wanted to do?
I don't think you've even read the reviews since you're calling them "clueless". Many of the reviewers actually have played the N64 games. YL suffers from so many issues that quite frankly should not happen these days. If this were an N64 game, these would be acceptable, but not as a 2017 game. Maybe you should actually read the reviews and not the scores, or you'll be the "clueless" one.

@Fist_of_Belial As I've seen this past week, the comments to each other have become toxic.
As for "party lines", I truly do not care what your stance is. I didn't really care about JonTron's comments, nor Playtonic's reaction. However, the discussion of these things have become so toxic. Even the mention of JonTron sparked a debate that should not have happened earlier on this thread.
They finally took my brilliant idea from years ago and got Mario involved. About time. Hopefully this year's e3 will be full of actual surprises and not fludds
Did you check it after it went back online? It makes sense for the App not to monitor their progress while the system is offline. There really isn't a fix for that.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE I agree, but the feedback has been much more positive than for the Wii U. I don't think Switch will break the PS4, but it can stand on its own.
The easiest and cheapest way to replenish all hearts is to mix one apple or fruit or piece of meat with a food item that increases max hearts. You are always guaranteed full recovery every time.

Re: Feature: Ten Wii U Games That Would Find a Loving Home on Nintendo Switch

Re: The Maps Offered In Splatoon 2 Will Rotate More Frequently
@Menchi187 ...they are picking the maps randomly.
@rjejr They had a website anyone can access.
Re: Cave Story+ to Introduce Local Co-Op on Nintendo Switch, More Info Coming
@speedracer216 PC version is the bare minimum of the game.
Re: Nintendo Outlines Pricing and Details for DLC in Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia
Wow, that's a bit steep.
Re: Poll: What Do You Think of the Zelda: Breath of the Wild - The Master Trials DLC?
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Admit it. You want that Tingle outfit.
Re: Poll: What Do You Think of the Zelda: Breath of the Wild - The Master Trials DLC?
@RainbowGazelle I for one will love to pay for a hard mode and a Tingle costume...to win?
Well I'll agree on the Tingle part. Tingle always wins!
Re: Reggie Fils-Aime Discusses NES Mini Demand and Apologises to Those That Missed Out
@Tasuki Except this is a Japan decision, not a Reggie decision. All regions were discontinued around the same time.
Re: Review: Puyo Puyo Tetris (Switch)
@NicolausCamp To be fair, the Japanese voices aren't that much better.
Re: Review: Puyo Puyo Tetris (Switch)
@xxAcesHighxx Yup. All modes are available separately too.
Re: US Federal Trade Commission Warns Against Nintendo Switch 'Emulator' Scams
@rjejr Well, technically a "scam" if you buy one and don't get it.
Re: The Switch Is The Fastest-Selling Video Game System In Nintendo History
@SLIGEACH_EIRE: Believe it or not, I actually saw Switches on store shelves near where I live. There were even special editions (GASP) of BotW as well
Maybe I just live in the weird part of the US
Re: Rayman Legends Will Support Co-Op Across Two Separate Nintendo Switch Systems
@SLIGEACH_EIRE As far as I'm aware, all main SMT games have come to the west. Some spin offs maybe not.
Ubisoft seems to be supporting it too, but not with its more gritty games.
Re: Nintendo Has Discontinued The NES Classic Edition in North America
@Yorumi Something tells me that this was a Japan decision and even NoA doesn't understand why.
Re: Rayman Legends Will Support Co-Op Across Two Separate Nintendo Switch Systems
@SLIGEACH_EIRE NIS, Atlus and Sega don't count?
Re: Rumour: Russian Nintendo Store Leaks Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle
I can see this being a holiday item, but that image is obviously fake.
Re: That Bayonetta Countdown, Unsurprisingly, Was for a PC Port
I love gaming on my PC. I play great games like Minesweeper and Solitaire
Re: That Bayonetta Countdown, Unsurprisingly, Was for a PC Port
@Trikeboy rips off shirt I'm coming for you!
Re: Talking Point: PS4 Pro and Xbox Scorpio Draw Battle Lines, But Nintendo Goes Its Own Way With Switch
@Menchi187 Except some PC gamers actually said this. I know some of them now who say consoles are pointless
Re: Reminder: Fire Emblem My Nintendo Rewards Arrive in North America, Metroid in Europe
@Captain_Toad You win a year's supply of disappointment!
To be honest, I never bothered with My Nintendo other than the Twilight Princess picross and Fire Emblem Heroes stuff.
Re: Feature: From BIT.TRIP to Runner3 - The Nintendo Journey of Choice Provisions
@NEStalgia It follows the style of the first 2 Runner games. The first one, despite being pixelated, still had a ridiculous art style.

Re: Sega Countdown Site Teases Bayonetta News Next Week
@Ryu_Niiyama Don't be silly! An artbook would give Sega too much credit. No, it will be an announcement for a later announcement!
Re: Sega Countdown Site Teases Bayonetta News Next Week
Guys, we're forgetting one key thing here: this is Sega.
They will either botch the announcement or announce something incredibly disappointing
Re: The Yooka-Laylee Rap Tries to be the Best and Worst Thing All at Once
Anyway, the rap was very half-hearted. It didn't feel as cheesy as the DK Rap, and it just sought to copy it.
I'm still excited for the game since I haven't played a game like this since the 64 days.

Let's refrain from talking about race, regardless of your stance.
Re: The Yooka-Laylee Rap Tries to be the Best and Worst Thing All at Once
I don't care if we have a constructive discussion about JonTron, but this constant back and forth will stop.
Re: Exclusive: 'Operation Mario' Used to Plug Nintendo's Press Leaks Ahead of E3

Re: Be Quick And Pick Up A NES Classic Mini Or Nintendo Switch At Best Buy Today
It's almost time
FOR DISAPPOINTMENT
Re: Talking Point: Defining a Sequel and How It Affects Games Like Splatoon 2
To be fair, it plays a lot like the first.
And why fix what's not broken

Re: Video: Digital Foundry Puts Various Portable Chargers to the Test With Nintendo Switch
@mid_55 Mine is USB to USB C. You want to avoid the cheap ones right now as apparently they're not correctly designed.
Heck, the best option is the cable with the Pro Controller.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry Puts Various Portable Chargers to the Test With Nintendo Switch
I'm happy with my MyCharge 8500. I'm able to get 4-5 extra hours on Zelda.
I've also read that you should NOT go cheap on USB-C wires. Mine was $25 and works perfectly fine.
Re: Playtonic Removes JonTron's Voice from Yooka-Laylee
@faint We need our beauty sleep every now and then
Anyway, I'll be here today. Let's discuss...
Playtonic has every right to drop the guy. You have every right to support this or not. Don't like it? Don't buy it!
Re: Playtonic Removes JonTron's Voice from Yooka-Laylee
@faint It will hopefully be remedied soon.
Re: Nintendo Fixes the Left Joy-Con Problem with a Small Piece of Foam
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Recalls usually happen if there is a safety issue or an issue for a majority of Switch owners.
Re: Deals: Splash Your Rupees On This Amazing Legend Of Zelda Merchandise
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Except Gamestop sold the new ones.
Re: Hey Kids! You Can Hide Nintendo Switch Playtime From Your Parents by Going Offline
Did you check it after it went back online? It makes sense for the App not to monitor their progress while the system is offline. There really isn't a fix for that.
Re: Report: Amazon UK Offering Partial Refunds Following Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Complaints
@InternetBowser Probably because it's not as widespread? A handful of people being noisy does not make something "widespread".
Re: You Can Now Download The Splatoon 2 Global Testfire On Your Switch, But There's A Catch
@Yorumi Not a chance in Hades I'm afraid.
Re: Reggie Fils-Aime Says Nintendo is 'Fact-Finding' on Joy-Con Connection and Screen Scratching Issues
@flapjackashley2 Well I guess you'll be disappointed by most technology then. I once got a computer that wouldn't even boot a couple of years ago.
Re: Poll: One Week On - How Do You Feel About the Nintendo Switch?

ALL MINE!
