Re: Nintendo Indie World Showcase Announced For Tuesday 18th August

@Bunkerneath Yeah, exactly what Reprise said, hopefully if the rumors of this were true, then we get the “something bigger” next week. Which might be a direct. I wouldn’t refer to an indie showcase as a direct, as they are two very different things, and I don’t understand the people who do.

Re: Talking Point: Are You Prepared To Spend $70 On The Latest Games?

While Nintendo's games themselves are many times higher quality than those offered by their competition, I don't believe they have as large as a budget as many third parties spend on titles with high amounts of cutscenes and realistic graphics. So while I would understand a price raise in next gen titles, Nintendo's games, while amazing, aren't next gen, and therefore should stay the same price. Not to mention Nintendo games hold their value, while many other games are $40 or less a year after launch, so the $70 initial price is only for those that want it at launch.
On a separate note, I don't think any paid games should ever use microtransactions. You paid for the experience up front, and shouldn't be asked to pay more to win, or unlock cosmetics.
