@Bret Sure, your opinion matters, but the market still dictates. The truth is, having accessibility can interrupt the game experience when a game structure or loop has been decided. At some point, when too many options are offered, it wouldn't become the game it was originally envisioned. And I simply don't want that, which the market agrees.

Let Skyward Sword or BOTW come out organically; at least Nintendo did this on their own without others interfering. They are game makers with standards, you know. They've playtested the game and this is what they come out with.

No, I don't want Nintendo to jump into the accessibility bandwagon vs. Xbox/Sony. Their recent games have been brain-dead annoying when everything is spelled out; even seconds after puzzles are shown, they've already talked about the solution - pleasing a small minority of players vs. inconveniencing the largest of them.

If you want everything being shoved down to you on your plate every single time then go for it with other games, especially those cinematic adventure ones. Not Nintendo.

ARMS, "hands"...
I see a connection here.

Groove coaster is simply the best, voez second.

@Anachronism "Are there any major third parties that aren't on good terms with Nintendo these days?"

Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio who did the Yakuza series.

@Astral-Grain You can't seem to answer others' questions, only analyzing others. Lack of love maybe? Misunderstood others' point and now proceed to shoe in your whataboutism takes? Such miserable way of living.

I don't have any problem calling the Switch akin to potato pc, even then that's not even my point. I'n referring to poor and cheap mentality instead of focusing on having a good time. Really, your poor reading comprehension needs some upgrade.

@Astral-Grain Are my statement wrong? Are you implying that you can dump Switch games legally on normal Switch? Or anything else? Back it up just explain the point, teacher, instead of the fluff.

SteamDeck is an investment for some. Like most PC players playing on a potato pc, they ought to consider pirating every now and then since they don't have the means. $400 incredibly cheap given the hardware, which Valve already subsidized.

@Astral-Grain ELI5

Playing Switch games legally on SteamDeck is incredibly idiotic. The emulation is a hit or miss, BOTW is ***** unless on CEMU - don't ever believe these SteamDeck dudes who said they actually bought the game on Switch lmao. People know.

Basically, you need a hacked Switch to even legally dump those games in the first place. So what's stopping them from playing these games on the hacked Switch itself, with overclocking and modding available vs tweaking needlessly on SteamDeck?

In the end, it's just bonafide pirates who are too poor to buy the games, trying to convince people they didn't drop their pants for everyone to see.

Nintendo of Japan would not like this at all, you could go to jail for piracy there. At this point Valve might have burned some bridges, probably irreversible. Is it worth poking down on one of gaming giants? Such disrespect.

Such entitled behavior right here. A mere contractor acting highty and mighty that even full time employees can't even comprehend on doing that without repercussions. Go figure.

The Switch have Splatoon 3 and the new Pokemon models incoming though.

This definitely send the message to the next PR guy I guess.

@icomma You take on criminals, whiny brats and Karens as workers? Should've put up ads for them as they are worthy I guess.

Like I said, "some people". Who are you though to guesstimate a company's worth?

It's still vague, and temp workers often have a lot to say when they can't own up on their own decisions. Some people for example are just not worthy of having jobs in the first place. Attitude problems.

I'm sure if the roles are reversed, the dude will get mocked too instead. Can't win so why bother.

@Dr_Lugae Is that true? Receipt please

There are many things you could miss by just beating the main quests btw.

For me though the game are beaten when you don't want to play anymore. I replayed normal mode x2 and master mode x1, not including pure speedruns playtime, then I stopped having an itch to play it (for now), I might have clocked in around 350 hours minimum.

@Chunkboi79 When did you bought your Switch?

@MrHonest Western cinematic games only worth $20 max bargain bin prices though, as market dictates. So much for the sales record.

Super sad on how this instalment ends up. Hopefully Rune Factory 5 doesn't dissappoints.

@Gwynbleidd I don't think Nintendo don't care. Who did high budget 2D games with $60 price nowadays except Nintendo? If anything they're the forefront, and Dread is just not ready.

The game must be launched at the right time and releasing on Switch with high enough install base seems the best option. Samus Returns did gracefully on 3DS considering its end, but bad on overall growth.

Woke and socially based altered adaptation. Much like other Netflix releases I guess.

@hadrian Then don't bother coming back, keep on playing Stardew.

Really useful if you want to stream from the switch cheaply.

@Anti-Matter Just start it all over at this point.

Please try this game guys, I need the next entry to hit at least 2 mil for the franchise to escape their niche status. So much potential and so many just sleeping on it.

@Ryu_Niiyama Except he got what he deserve at the end, but of course that doesn't count who am I kidding.

There's a more rare version of Shiny now so I'm not sure it's so common as we thought.

@Jfarriol Arms sold 2 millions for a game in a relatively nice sub fighting genre, meanwhile other fighting game struggles lol.

And the game excels in the solidifying the hype for a sequel because the game was charming and fun enough for some.

@Ainz It's a f2p game.

@Cosats It's really helping for those who frequently jogs or going to gyms, especially with how people are quarantined in their houses.

It is because those who obtained the copy of the strategy guide would have already signed an NDA in the first place. They are absolutely within within rights to do so even with their statement.
own your mistake.

@Snow-Dust
Worst case if caught on foreign countries you could be forbidden from entering Japan, so may or may not be the best scenario for professional Japanese translators.

Although rough fan translations is nothing to be fussed about. But again, why not just wait for the official one?

Please just hire a highly stylized art director or something at least. No flair at all, just generic. Would love a competitive HM where each other can improve the genre. As of now, this doesn't look even the least hopeful.

Maybe it will be for Switch pro.

Okay game. Still those who love JPRG should be interested.

I still think they can nurture a stigma of respected and anticipated developer for mobile market. Continue doing conservative SM Run-esque titles, even with modest profit the market will respond favorably to them at the end. Just try not to make it a big deal as SMR or its gacha focused counterparts.

Maybe they can produce a new premium mobile IP? I think they can go long ways with that.

Nintendo had to license their localizations for this to happens, so be thankful that Nintendo permit this. As for other consoles...

@retro_player_22 There's already slot for Link's Awakening in the listing, and because it was announced already that SKU is already public.

What about releasing remake of TCG GB on switch?

Dat site is up.

I'm positive the reason they hold back during Wii U days is because of hardware limitations. They made a gamble and dang it sure failed big time, with all the 3rd party games drought and a hardware with different architecture. Now we just have to wait and see, but all in all I'm so sure they'll try their best to deliver this time. Its a good start guys.

Well everyone can express their opinions whatsoever and get whiny and yeah, Nintendo's at faults here. Partly. But its still good start of a journey. If you guys thought it was a bit pricey, well don't buy now just wait for price drop or sales. Not enough games? Don't buy it now just wait wait and wait and oh if that time had come where you're satisfied with the libraries, you can buy it. You hate everything Nintendo? Whine a bit and just don't buy it. Easy

Its ok to be a wiener once in a while, but here's hoping everything's fine. Think of the people who just wanna have good fun playing games, it sure kills the mood guys.
