Played this on the PC; I enjoyed it, but I enjoyed Rune Factory 4 more. One big problem on PC is my hands hurting after a while, something that would be solved with a controller...

Glad other people agree with the music part. Good shop music is basically a Nintendo thing after the Wii Shop Channel.

@dkxcalibur It's one thing to lose my stuff, but the worst is when you don't own up to it! Never giving you something important again!

But see, they'd didn't say you can't stream Nintendo content, they just said you can't stream while part of the creator's program!

Gosh darn it, I might actually beat this game if I had it on the Switch...but I don't want to double dip...

So many games...all I truly care for is Odyssey. Will definitely pick up some more though; Odyessy is just priority.

Looks fun, but I still need to pick up some games higher on the list...

You know guys, the amount of effort needed to complain about the icon is the same amount of effort it is to complain that people are complaining.

We all waste "some" time on the internet, don't pretend you don't. It's nice to do something with that time then, eh?

I don't understand...there is only one correct choice for this.

I guess this is our chance to see how low the % can get!

@rjejr My question is: why would shutting down the service be a stepping stone for WiiWare games to be released elsewhere?

ART STYLE GAMES!!! NOOOO!

It's a neat idea, but I'm just not a fan of these games. Doesn't mean I think it's a bad idea, I'm just not interested personally.

It looks great, but I'm not sure what to expect, gameplay-wise. So I will wait for reviews, and most likely pick it up.

@BumpkinRich When I say trust I refer to the fact that Nintendo would help me get my account back in the case of said hack. I have various proofs of my ownership, including my Switch, Wii U, and 3ds that are all tied to my account. Just like dealing with identity theft, there are resources to help get things back in order.

Good statements. Even if they aren't 100% on point I like the driving ideas behind it.

@BumpkinRich If I was the owner of a large network, if I was responsible for the well-being of others, if I had a large investment, of course I would add extra security.

But this is a small account with a company I trust. PLUS, I try my best to keep important stuff off a device that is the target of the majority of viruses.

Why complicate your life by putting everything behind a 15 password wall? It's unnecessary.

Are you prepared for an asteroid impact on your living space? I hasn't happened but it could...like, some things aren't worth worrying about.

@Lumine There are so many things wrong with that statement. The sass is real.

@Lumine @Exy wth guys? I've had one password accounts for years that have never been stolen, and yes, accounts that I have poured money into. In fact an authenticator has only provided me pain, as it was uninstalled from my phone and prevented me from logging into my account. I had to give personal information to log back in. Yeah, it's an extra layer of security, but if anything ever happens to your phone...BWAHAHAHAHAHA.

Huh. The one I played had plastic coins.

This was the first time in a long time that I enjoyed monopoly.

@ValhallaOutcast They ruined Sun & Moon for me by showing 95% of the new Pokemon and features. Like, come on Nintendo!

Been trying to stay away from Odyssey, although I've probably already seen more than I should.

How many full-on mods has he made now? 5? Of course he's confident people, he hasn't been touched yet!

Not a bad thing, not too much a good thing either. I'm seeing both sides of this.

Looks interesting...but something about the frame-rate in that video seemed off.

Our incoming Nintendo games are running thin. It's about time we get some new announcements!

Ah ha! I was waiting for this to show up. Surprised you posted the SM64O thing first, ha ha.

I'm not crazy about achievements, but they could be neat things to have in Mario games, if Nintendo adds in some wild, secret, and hard to get ones.

This seems really cool but I don't know if I'll ever experience it.

@AlternateButtons Idk, Nintendo hasn't hit a Kaze Emanuar thing yet...will this be the first one? I put my imaginary money down on "No".

Gamecube games tend to have this weird quirkiness that makes many my favorite games of the century (thus far). Nintendo made decisions that won't please the widest audience, but for those that like them, it's all "wow this is fantastic!" PMTTYD, Pikmin 2, and Super Mario Sunshine are all great examples.

C'mon people, the old icon was definitely not up to the standards it should have been. No need to complain about the people complaining.

Don't let the social media craze get to ya; there are small things worth discussing just as there are small things that aren't.

Doesn't look too bad, but games that can be played on a phone usually don't have the control complexity + tightness I desire in my video games. Rhythm games can be an exception though, if they're good.

@Trikeboy Not something to lose beans over, but if you're here, what's wrong with commenting how you feel about it?

It certainly goes against that NX guideline thing, that's for sure!

Not sure if this is the change I'm looking for in the series, but what I thought were big changes in Sun & Moon were really not that different. So change seems to be a good thing to hear for Pokemon. We'll see where they take the next game.

Colosseum and XD were exciting departures from the norm, even if the games aren't as easy to go back and play as the handhelds.

Would have liked to see every origins level in this. But alas. Good to know I can stay away.

Guess there's no stopping me just playing Origins again.

@Yorumi I agree with a ton of that. I for one cannot wait for Subnautica to hit 1.0 release; Wargroove looks to be the Advance Wars fix I've been looking for, and the obvious examples Terraria and Minecraft are bigger and still less expensive on PC (never understood that). On top of MOBAs or MMOs with friends, it seems like dropping Nintendo should be no problem.

Zelda was not the most exciting, but there's no denying I played the heck out of it and enjoyed my time (Wii U though!).
But I still get excited for Mario, and Splatoon > Overwatch for me. However, it's freakin' Pikmin that gives me no chance. There is no substitution for this series. Its combination of exploration, RTS, and action-combat is unlike anything I've ever seen in gaming. They made some big mistakes with Pikmin 3 though; maybe 4 will trash everything (although I really hope not).

Might as well get comfortable while I'm here though, is my thought. One big difference for me is I don't play much on mobile devices, so the portability of the Switch is a huge plus for me.

@Yorumi I was in the "last Nintendo system ever" category with the Wii U, but then they introduced Super Mario Odyssey...how can I stay away? 15 years since our last non-linear Mario.

I'd like to be done after the Switch now, but if they release Pikmin 6 with a level editor on their next console, how in the world am I going to stay away? (Hopeful for two Pikmin installments on the Switch)

Hopefully they'll just give me the Pikmin level editor on the Switch and I can be done with Nintendo. But then of course they'll show Odyssey 2 and I'll just be in a pickle...

Yeah Nintendo has some shady practices and terrible mistakes, but I've played enough on my Wii U to more than justify the price, and I'm sure I'd do the same with the Switch (at least if Odyssey is as good as it looks). I sure don't like the internet subscription fee, but $20 a year is worth the enjoyment I'll have, even for their shoddy service. It's a BS fee, but a reasonably priced one; kinda like a toll road.

@River3636 While it's true I don't have a (working) mircoSD, I'm not against buying one. I just think it's silly to buy 2k18 physically and then put a mandatory patch on the sd card. What if I ever need two sd cards? I've then got to have the right sd and the right cartridge inside the switch, which seems unnecessarily complicated. Put it all on the console memory or go digital.

Also, one thing they don't have is 1 TB mircoSDs. That's set for life right there but it's not an option. Those switch cartridges are small enough, and I don't want to organize tiny SDs that all look exactly the same. What's my point? If I went and bought all these high GB games I could burn through a microSD quickly. That's why I typically buy AAA games physically and then the indie games on the eShop; put all the indies on the external storage and the AAA titles on the system memory. But now the physical AAA titles need to take up sd memory?

It's not a deal breaker, and this probably won't effect me personally. However, with mircoSDs you can't just buy one and be set forever if you grab all these AAA titles on it; not to mention those things seem to be less stable than an HDD. Then you have to start juggling these tiny pieces of plastic just to play your physical games.

Do you think Peach pays Mario? Perhaps he just gets a bunch of stuff for free, like his house and a set of groceries every two weeks.

@607jf At $300 though you don't have to put down a loan (or credit card loan thing) for a Switch. You can save extra money from your paycheck and just get it; as a kid you could even save enough from your summer job. You certainly wouldn't also go and buy legitimately everything for the Switch then, as that would reach a guess of $1000+, something the two scenarios above couldn't pay for (immediately). And in those two scenarios, would you rather: buy a microSD, or buy another game? I'd ditch the 2k18 and go for 2 games instead.

@River3636 @Rontanamo_Bay I'm not too upset about it, but my confusion is, what's the point of a physical release if you need an additional card to play it? Wouldn't you just put it all on a microSD? It might not be an issue worth raging about, but the decision seems to lack some common sense and is worth discussion.

My biggest problem is I don't trust microSDs. I've only used one once (SanDisk), and it broke, costing me a ton of pictures.

And well, Needing two carts to play one game is ridiculous, especially if I ever need two microSDs. It'll get super confusing.

A simple solution is this game should have never seen a physical release, and any game too large to fit on one cartridge. Needing SD card space to play the game kind of defeats the purpose of a physical release...

I don't like where this seems to be heading...

Honestly guys, if SLIGEACH_EIRE makes the worst comments on the site then so be it! They really aren't that bad, and it shows what a chill community we have.

I've thought about this one for a bit, but never got it on Steam. Maybe I'll pick it up for the switch, who knows.

Probably my top game from the showcase atm.

Thanks for the Miimories...
ha ha...
yeah.

At least the switch can take screenshots; the screenshot feature was one of the most important parts of Miiverse.

Already bought a few of the more interesting ones on PC...

Oh well, they'll be more expensive on the Switch anyway, I'm guessing.

I get why they're shutting it down but...
...
I don't like facebook, twitter, and all the rest.

@cleveland124 @aesc Interesting points, never thought about those. Thanks for the info! I still feel like developers are pushed into dlc because they'd like their game to sell for a higher price, at least to a small degree.

@bolt05 No, I mean inflation. Games are, as far as the people I've talked to and I am aware, underpriced. They can easily be raised to $70, however, I believe companies don't because they choose to charge for dlc instead.

or

Games should be priced higher due to inflation, but for some reason they aren't.

Well games are a bit under-priced at this point due to inflation; however, if game prices increase and then they do this, I'll be mad then.

All I know is Switchs are starting to be easier to get around here. The NES Mini and SNES Mini are probably mistakes, but Nintendo doesn't see it that way because they're making easy money off it.

It totally stinks for the consumer, but if you just pretend that the minis don't exist, then most problems vanish.

@Exy They listened when it came to to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and battle mode...
