Anything that's not a trolling FF spinoff geared towards the Nintendo crowd (read: Crystal Chronicles or Explorers) would be fantastic. Hell I'm all for new IP's. Nintendo's take on classic franchises with a new idea or two is fine but we need a game that's actually NEW in order to break ground on Switch.
@Bruh The haters of the supreme universe won't have that. They'll summon the torch and pitchfork gods to wreak havoc on Reggie before NoA have any say on Switch's specs. We're all just totally impatient right now and will destroy anything. XDD
I think many are boycotting Sony products in wake of the recent Sony Music producer scandal (many are accused of rape but judges let them walk free for whatever crooked reason.). Regardless, it's not exactly shocking Sony would announce new PS4 models, as they did with their entire Playstation lineup (excluding Vita currently).
@Snow-Dust I think the reason for the deformed characters in his game is due to technical limitations, not style choice. If they were more realistic it would have taken up a lot more cartridge or memory space.
Actually Blast Ball can either be fun or terrible depending on your skill level, and of course since I'm not all that great in Splatoon I haven't won any matches in this either.
The main game looks promising enough though, if only to tide us over for MP4, and at least the co-op elements aren't too enforced...
I could tell many folks at Retro like Behr were secretly anime fans... Buddy & Me is a whimsical tale reminiscent of Studio Ghibli films, and Armature helped make both Bloodstained and ReCore even though the main heroines of both have a wild anime girl vibe going on with their wardrobe.
People are still sore over Nintendo's e3 2015. Hell, some are still sore over e3 2003 after so long, because connectivity screwed them over. I'd say if you absolutely WANT a new Metroid or for NX to be a powerhouse system that will kick the crap out of Sony/M$/Apple, best you either wait or get a life.
Um... I don't really expect Fatal Frame to be like DoA Beach Volleyball, so why should that matter (and never really cared for that kind of tradition of alternate costumes in survival horror and other games anyway, just think it's mildly amusing but little else).
Stock news is really boring. If investor confidence drops, that's equivalent these days to getting flipped off by John Bohener or Vladamir Putin. I never met known and cared for these people, why should it bother me?
Um, this guy approved and produced the release of Enter The Matrix (also came out on GC) and that was among the worst games ever made. Are you sure you could agree with Dave after a total bombshell like this one?
Unlike the game industry Hollywood doesn't give two bones about the effort or quality they put into their films... just find a license, hire at least two pruduction companies with tons of cash at the ready, who then hire graphics and effects artists, a third rate hotshot director, and someone famous enough, and leave the scripting for last since they don't need it to look their worst on screen... voila, another movie set for release.
It's a bar set so low even Honey Boo Boo could direct a film at this rate.
Donkey Kong has already been a staple in Adam Sandler's film legacy, (no?) thanks to Billy Madison (excerpt: http://youtu.be/P9EhvDAMjWc ) so I'm not surprised. But as opposed to Pixels he kinda has a point: there are plenty good classic games out there but only the arcade types like Donkey Kong and Pac Man have the balls to make you play the same stages over and over again on progressively higher difficulty in order to achieve that ridiculous high score.... XDD
Let them talk. Iwata very likely picked a possible successor behind closed doors long before his death, and one he counted on. So-called "market changes" like the mobile and Stream sector are mostly fad-related, and will wear thin just like consoles, only quicker. Nintendo's NX might be last for gaming consoles, but it'll be a first for other things, specifically small devices like Apple TV.
And no, Wii U isn't a "bust", Mr Patcher, it had struggles, thanks to a changing market. Get it through your passive-aggressive stance on the market in general, already.
Since polls and comments do not correlate well with one another, I'll just say this: Release a portable with a receiver box for TV/monitor use (and possibly a disc drive attachment, a la Mac Mini, for retail titles), also give the controller/system equal parts Wii Remote and Gampad functions with some added surprises, and it'll be a hit, guaranteed.
Fans are always going to complain about one little thing at e3. Wind Waker was arguably a better showing at e3 2002 than that "connectivity" disaster of e3 2003, but still suffered annoying backlash because it's wasn't anything like the "mature" Zelda demo shown at Spaceworld 2000.
MP Federation Force is the Wind Waker of E3 2015: it's so easily hated when being first announced yet everyone into Metroid will buy it when it releases.
"Final Fantasy Tactics on 3DS" huh? Well, there are a lot of talented artists and musicians in Japan who want to be just like the big guys, yet they can't even make a decent yen, very much like job availability in the US, UK and elswhere, so filling in a void on 3DS would be most logical.

It's official: Nintendo is broadening the demographic base for Switch on Day 1. XD

Re: The Nintendo Switch Power Debate is Back - Report Suggests It Won't Quite Match PS4
Wouldn't be taken by surprise if system power is still the most popular subject gamers talk about versus what's going on with their lives. 🙄
Re: Stardew Valley is Cancelled for Wii U, But It's Heading to Nintendo Switch
Of course not, very much looking forward to the Switch update.
Re: Nintendo Share Value Drops 6.5% Following Switch Reveal
Investors? Screw them. They're like pundits judging Hillary for her email leaks. I want to see performance from the actual console once it comes out.
Re: New Patch Goes Live For Minecraft Wii U Edition
@Joeynator3000 Well yeah, since real life conversations don't work on the internet, some just gotta roll with the bots.😡
Re: New Patch Goes Live For Minecraft Wii U Edition
I got an idea... EXTRA STABILITY! Kidding. 😆

Re: Poll: Did the 3DS Nintendo Direct Boost Your Hype for the Portable's Line-Up?
To be honest I would rather have something, ANYTHING on a more phenomenal level than just more 3ds game announcements.

Can't say no to Kirby. XDD

Since I already own most of these games digital I'll just buy the NES controller for my Wii U. XDD
Re: Witcher Studio Says Nintendo NX "Will Be Fantastic", Claims To "Know Things"
I dunno, might still happen. A spinoff more than a port, perhaps...

See, that pretty much proves the designers still hold n64 memories dear to them... XDD
Re: Developers Don't Seem To Know Any More About Nintendo NX Than You Do
I'm sure the Internet was asking for total secrecy, after all that early revealing of the Wii U...

Many knew Alan Young as McDuck, but Ren and Stimpy's Haggis McHaggis was his all time best role, ever.
Re: Video: Nobody Sells The Appeal Of Terraria Quite Like The Japanese
It's natural that Japan loves this, since the character sprites look right out of old Final Fantasy battle graphics... XD
Re: Ori and the Blind Forest Director Criticises Secrecy and Lack of Access to NX Devkits
That sounds like sensationalism to me. I'll wait until the actual details for NX are unveiled.

Cloud Strife hops and stomps on goombas for first time ever.
Re: Yes, Fatal Frame's Lingerie Outfits Have Been Removed From The Western Version

Re: Former Sony Exclusive PixelJunk Monsters Is Coming To The Wii U eShop
Sony and Nintendo should merge, that way they could discuss a strategy suitable for distributing games on each others' systems as well as mobile.

Re: Analysts Wonder If Super Mario Can Save NintendoÂ
"Super Mario will sell mobile revenue" is analyst code for "PLEASE let the mobile industry win!" You'll be eating those words soon enough, analysts.
Re: This Is The Last Real Console Cycle, Proclaims Industry Analyst Michael Pachter
I just realized Patcher is less analyst and more Roger-Ebert-of-video-games; he's only around to fill a void of proclaiming nonsense.
Re: Super Mario Maker DLC Confirmed, Famitsu's Mascot Necky The Fox Coming Soon
I'd like to see DQ's slime be playable. It'd be great. ;P
Re: Interview: Here's Your Chance To Ask The Voice Of Mario Anything You Wish
I see you voiced a character in Skies of Arcadia. What is it like to provide voice work on an RPG versus other genres?
Re: Bandai Namco's Project Treasure Is Now Called Lost Reavers, Beta Test Incoming
Already looks better than Devil's Third, and for a more affordable(?) price. (Not sure what I have to pay for yet)
Still it kinda reminds me of what I read from the "quest" mode of that obscure PS1 fighter Ehrgeiz.
Re: Pokémon Brawler Pokkén Tournament Coming To Wii U Early Next Year
I thought as much it would hit either Wii U or NX, but given Nintendo's obvious stance on backward compatibility, may as well be both. XDD

Will this be 3D enabled? Cause I really can't imagine playing 3D while simultaneously looking down at the bottom screen without epic eye strain... XDD
Re: Don't Worry, Samus Will Be In Metroid Prime: Federation Force
I'm still positive the game will be better than Other M (as in, anything's better than that disappointment of a core Metroid title).

Re: Nintendo Seeks Improvement at E3 2016, Though Miyamoto Defends Near-Term Rather Than "Dream-Like Demonstrations"
Fans are always going to complain about one little thing at e3. Wind Waker was arguably a better showing at e3 2002 than that "connectivity" disaster of e3 2003, but still suffered annoying backlash because it's wasn't anything like the "mature" Zelda demo shown at Spaceworld 2000.
Re: Blast Ball is Actually the Tutorial in Metroid Prime: Federation Force, With an Intriguing Story Promised

Re: Mercenaries Saga 2 Is The Closest You'll Get To A New Final Fantasy Tactics On 3DS
