@Niinbendo Apparently you can access your save data if you download it on both devices and link them both to your Nintendo account. Note you cannot use the save file at the same time though. So yes, it is cross-buy
I don't think it matters if they're having media events. The word will spread around regardless of the broadcast time, and Japan will spoil the rest of the world anyway
@8bitforever Well you can always wait until the holidays anyway. It's not like you HAVE to buy it at launch. Matter of fact, I usually encourage waiting if you're not sure.

Re: First Impressions: 1-2-Switch is an Ideal Pack-In Game That's Missing Its Chance
This is one of the most baffling decisions Nintendo made. This really should have been included like Wii Sports and Nintendo Land.
Re: Gearbox CEO Doesn't See Borderlands 3 Coming To Nintendo Switch
I would blame Nintendo, but this is Randy Pitchford. He's not telling the full story
Re: By The Way, The Joy-Con Grip Bundled With Nintendo Switch Won't Charge Your Joy-Cons
@FengLong Yup. This charger is 100% optional, hence the "mountain out of a molehill" comments
Re: By The Way, The Joy-Con Grip Bundled With Nintendo Switch Won't Charge Your Joy-Cons
@Yorumi At least it has a charger this time
Re: By The Way, The Joy-Con Grip Bundled With Nintendo Switch Won't Charge Your Joy-Cons
The system itself can charge them, and they stay charged for a long time. No big deal really, more of an inconvenience.
Re: Nintendo Download: 12th January (North America)
Well, we could get 10 garbage games instead. Is that what you all want?
Re: Talking Point: The Challenges and Opportunities of the Nintendo Switch Presentation
@GameOtaku In FE Fates, boy Kana can't marry anyone in the English version. His S-rank conversations led to friendship (and rejection) instead
Re: Talking Point: The Challenges and Opportunities of the Nintendo Switch Presentation
@GameOtaku YEAH! Let Kana marry other kids!
Re: Nintendo Of Europe Updates Regional Websites Ahead Of Full Switch Announcement
Xbox Green, PS4 Blue, and Switch Red.
So colorful
Re: New Features for 'Mario Kart 8 Switch' Appear in Box-Art
@TheHatredDMC They used to be region free. The 3DS (and DSi games) was the only handheld to be region locked.
Re: Nintendo Treehouse to Provide 'In-Depth Look' at Nintendo Switch Games on 13th January
@3MonthBeef Rumor has it that even more rumors will come!
Re: New Features for 'Mario Kart 8 Switch' Appear in Box-Art
@JaxonH Well localization is pretty complicated from what I understand. Then again, this is one case where I support region-free devices.
Re: New Features for 'Mario Kart 8 Switch' Appear in Box-Art
@JaxonH The strange thing is it doesn't need a translation. There's barely any text in it.
Re: Persona 5 Will Not Be Coming to the Switch
@LeRaposa I can list quite a few Japanese games that are on the 3DS
Re: Poll: Are You Optimistic for Nintendo's 2017?
I'm most excited for the January presentation, mainly because it's coming up soon
Re: Rumour: Mother 3 Will Be Unveiled for the Switch VC at the Switch Reveal Next Week
@eeyore Well if you're waiting for more Wii U stuff, you'll get cold and lonely. It's time to Switch
Re: Rumour: Mother 3 Will Be Unveiled for the Switch VC at the Switch Reveal Next Week
@MitchVogel It's very simple:
Best form of marketing
Re: Rime Officially Confirmed for Nintendo Switch in Gorgeous New Trailer
@Solid_Stannis This uses a similar art style. That's not the same as asset flipping
Re: New Features for 'Mario Kart 8 Switch' Appear in Box-Art
@JaxonH I hear Dragon Theatrhythm is getting localized
...in my dreams anyway
Re: New Features for 'Mario Kart 8 Switch' Appear in Box-Art
@MegaMari0 Chickens? Crocs? What's the difference? They all end up in the fryer anyway

@JaxonH Save some money for Dragon Quest XI for the not-too-obvious-Switch version
Re: Dragon Quest VIII Official Website Shares More Details for 3DS
You recover MP and HP? Too easy. Game ruined forever

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Say happy birthday Samus?
Re: Nintendo of America Outlines 'Nintendo Switch Preview Tour'
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Why are you complaining? A majority of America can't go to these cities
Re: Nintendo of America Outlines 'Nintendo Switch Preview Tour'
@Spoony_Tech I'd say do it this holiday season
Re: Nintendo of America Outlines 'Nintendo Switch Preview Tour'
@Whopper744 What's a "WV"?
It should be in your area by the end of March
Re: Nintendo and DeNA Shares Tumble as Investors Show Super Mario Run Revenue Fears

Re: Nintendo and DeNA Shares Tumble as Investors Show Super Mario Run Revenue Fears
@FX102A I'm not sure why they'd try that with Nintendo. Nintendo is the most stubborn company in Japan, and THAT'S saying something
Re: Video: Embrace the Weirdness of Snack World, Level-5's Next Big Thing
@ogo79 Have a Snickers bar you crusty old coot!
Re: NES Classic Edition Sold 196,000 Units in US Launch as Pokémon Sun and Moon Set Records
Holy shnickey! That number is much lower than expected. WTF Nintendo
Re: Video: Embrace the Weirdness of Snack World, Level-5's Next Big Thing
@Rect_Pola It looks like clay animation to me
@ogo79 Go back to your retirement home, old man

Re: Nintendo Download: 15th December (North America)
@mikegamer One day the bank screwed me over by not handing me more money. No wonder I robbed it the next day!
Re: Music: Behold the Majesty of The Legend of Zelda 30th Anniversary Concert CD
Imported it. It shall be shipped by FedEx international. I like FedEx
Re: Video: Embrace the Weirdness of Snack World, Level-5's Next Big Thing
Um, what was he doing at 1:00?
This game is so dirty
Re: Nintendo Download: 15th December (North America)
@ap0001 @slim80 Is it really surprising? Switch is around the corner. I just call this the calm before the storm

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Will Rely on Switch Word of Mouth Due to Strange Presentation Timing
I don't think it matters if they're having media events. The word will spread around regardless of the broadcast time, and Japan will spoil the rest of the world anyway
Re: NES Classic Mini Demand "Greater Than We Anticipated," Admits Reggie Fils-Aime
What's even worse is how most of their systems are sold out everywhere. 2DS ran out like crazy as did the New 3DS.
I hope they at least make enough Switches to last until Holiday 2017

Give the fans what they want!
Re: Miyamoto on the Reasoning Behind Super Mario Run's Pricing
@ittleamber Don't be so modest. They buy those stupid phones every year.
Re: Nintendo Share Value on the Rise, With Super Mario Run Leading the Charge
@AlexSora89 They did. It's called Federation Force!
Re: Guide: The Best Nintendo Gifts For The Holiday Season (US Edition)
2DSes are sold out everywhere too. It's crazy how scant stock is this season.
Re: The Legend of Zelda 30th Anniversary amiibo Provide Food and Goodies in Breath of the Wild
Can these amiibos not just be figures with benefits? By this mentality, all toys and collectibles are scams.
Re: Nintendo Download: 1st December (North America)
@mikegamer Do you want more filler? Here, have some more games you'll never buy
Re: Reggie Confirmed For On-Stage Appearance At The Game Awards 2016
@Buizel They fixed that the following year though. Nintendo's showing since that announcement has been impressive.
