Yeah, like Nixxes did with Helldivers 2 for PC.

Soulless hackers are there for the $. Another guy that brings a product to the market will cash in big but will be hunted. Round 2. Unfortunenately.

Where does that leave my Switch 1 version? Does it get ‘fixed’ as well? Or is that the selling-point of the S2 version? Do you get a discount if you own the S1 version?

Earlier generation games were created in months by small teams (<10), nowadays it takes years with huge teams. It’s not sustainable to keep the price as it always was. Game creators need a stable income, just like everyone to craft the best experience for you. Why should games be excluded from inflation. One accepts this for every other non-vital product, but apparently games need to be free preferably, which leads to other models where you pay even more. Accept the inflation, realize you have been saving money last decades.

€90 euros!!! For Mario Kart World, it’s bananas 😣 (thats $98 USD)

@martynstuff
Don’t think that the marketing is already 2-3 months in effect with all the leaks and anticipation, rumor, etc.
At one point no-one is buying the OG anymore because daddy heard its going to replaced soon.

Tomorrow announcement of a Nintendo Direct then..

@wiiware
That would really thrive the genre, compared to other consoles. If you can use a sensor bar alike and controllers have IR that would be awesome!

The width doesn’t bother me, the weight does. A bigger screen is welcome, but also longer battery time. Let’s see.
Last fiscal quarter should take 2 weeks to determine whether to extend the Switch life or go with the announcement quickly because sales plummeted.

After holiday 2024 sales, there is only a very low long tail of Switch sales left. As Switch is the only main product (compared to Wii/DS and WiiU/3DS) they simply can’t wait for a holiday 2025 release, unless there are no launch games ready. So I expect a late January announcement and launch in April, starting new new fiscal year.

If you want to challenge yourself and create a Switch emulator, chapeau! But don’t distribute it! There is no gray area, you cloned a system that is not yours. Invent something yourself, use your talents positively.

If key first party releases are delayed, so is the launch.

@Banjo-
Had to be more precise, you lose the motion control function. Can’t play Switch Sports on Switch Lite.

Ha! Launch window of Switch2 is known now.

@HotGoomba
Haha. Good luck on your job at Quality Control at Nintendo.

Boring! Nobody is going to read it. Like a terms & conditions for using Amiibo.

My mind is ready for this. A physical copy that is.

@dew12333
Yeah feels like some shots were taken at different daytimes.

@Astral-Grain
Hey, you can also see it as a compliment! If you feel harassed, then I apologize, just wanted to discuss opinions.

@antisumo
Your assumption doesn’t hold, I never played it either but still consider this a greedy deal.

@Deviant-Dork
This is the Nintendo ecosystem, Deluxe versions of WiiU games include valuable extra’s to validate the full price. This is the standard. What Rockstar/TakeTwo does, is below par for a conversion of a 13 year old game. As said they could have done this 6 years ago at full price. They are seemingly unable to relate to the market.

@Deviant-Dork
A greedy business or if you want lazy business.

@Astral-Grain
You reasoning sounds like a Take Two or Rockstar employee.
300.000 copies sold and you are at break-even easily. That’s 0,25% of the Switch userbase.
Do you see the balance is off?

This statement only confirms it.
No love, only $. Don’t buy.

Rockstar is pretty late bringing RDR to the Switch. They could have done it 6 years ago, the hardware hasn’t changed and then Rockstar would have supported the Nintendo platform. But they didn’t. Probably because they feel the platform lacks the power they need for their games.
So to do this now, when 120M units are sold, there is zero risk involved. For sure you are going to make a profit on this. And that feels a bit like money-grab to me, certainly at full-price without any extra’s. It shows that this is a business decision, not a decision from the heart or even that you want to on all platforms.
Rockstar will claim that the card is more expensive than discs. But is certainly not a $10-$20 difference from a $30 price point.
Double Eleven did what Rockstar asked.
I can imagine the disappointment of a 13 year old game to be republished as premium.

Would make sense as there a lot of AC characters to make a couple of Lego Series figurines.

New game of Retro Studios is in the works long enough to be launch title. I hope Metroid 4 but you guess is as good as mine.

Can you weigh them on a scale before opening or is the cart too light to determine if it’s in or not?

Indeed. ‘Where’s my prince’. Who’s this punk?
Glad to see something is coming, missed the series.

A little bit commercial statement, but I like the games mentioned so go ahead James, score that deal.

Hopefully top half of the box art will be adjusted for the EU case.

@PoeTheLizard Keep looking at the cover.

Bigger card size and card manufacturer price increase.
On top of that, 4 years of game development where developers dedicating these years of life for you to enjoy and that’s not worth $70? It’s $2 per hour played, max. If you’re low on money, don’t buy digital and just sell it after you’re done with the game.

I’ll take anything. Good to see there is still some life in the franchise.

Advance Wars 1+2RC will at least take a half year delay to get to the streets with respect to the war, so not before October. From there it will have to be refitted into the Nintendo release schedule.
I see some mentioning online of release date February 23rd 2023, but that is the day before the invasion started in 2022. I can’t believe this is a date communicated by Nintendo.

For me Animal Crossing for N64 (although my japanese sucks) or Samba de Amiga for Dreamcast with original controllers.

Enjoyed the WiiU very much, loved the intro tune of Nintendoland until the OS got quicker and the tune was shortened.

On the gamepad: what I consider a missed opportunity is to be able to download small games to the gamepad and be able to run them standalone, without the base station.

Was using a hologram with bedoof and ditto alternating with lightfall a better option? Probably way more expansive than a sticker, but really would dig such a card.

Whatever you do, don’t name it SwitchU.

A lot of people look at this from a gamer pov, which is understandable. From Nintendo’s pov, I’m sure they admire and respect the art, craftsmanship, hard work of the fan games based on their IP. However allowing one of these fan projects to exists, motivates many lesser skilled fans to do whatever they want with the IP which makes it uncontrollable and unwanted. Some fan work will then be unsuitable for my and your children to lay their eyes on and forever change their perception on the previously safe IP. So best to avoid that and they take a firm stance to allow nothing to be in control and protect the IP from uncontrollable events. This has nothing to do with “greed and cowardice” but everything with protect and avoid.

Did they get the coin?

M+L being the letters that apply both to the bros as the soccerplayer.
Lionel arrived at a new castle collecting mucho coins there.
Lionel being afraid to go into his dark mansion alone at night?
It’s farfetched.

@liveswired As long as one does this for developing their own skills, nobody complains. Just don’t distribute other people’s work.

They are taking assets from the sold product and are decompiling from that product and after this, reconstructing source from decompiled resiult. Definitely breaching copyright regulations. If done from scratch and creating code from scratch, that would be a recommendable achievement. They have to recreate music, levels, models, particle effects, textures and sprites as well, otherwise it’s still redistributing copyrighted content. Why do people think they could claim it their own? Start creating your own game to get your 5 minutes of fame and grow up!

Instead of the ‘we hear you, but we don’t care’ attitude in reaction on your request not being put in the game, you can also ask to be part of a focus group. It is for a multimillion user game only possible to make changes if they are validated by a large portion of the players, hence the focus groups. Being part of focus groups allows you to get more insight in how the game is managed and what effort it takes to change, balance, test, etc to a multimillion audience. It might even take you further if you have the skills that are needed.
