@Daemonite @JLPick Totally agree with you guys. I played it on the PS4 as well. The graphics are awful (for an 8-bit game that's saying something), the sound is annoying and get on your nerves really fast, and the game just isn't fun at all. I think a 2 to 4 would be an accurate score.
@Varathius ...okay...what does your degree have to do with the games you play?! Are you saying you're too smart to play AC?
I don't have an engineering degree so maybe i'm missing something here?
The lack of 3rd party support is a huge problem, for sure. But it would be disastrous for nintendo if they also made bad 1st party titles...which luckely there are only a few.
@Chubblings Well, i liked Arkham Knight, i watched the full ending on youtube (no way i'm doing the Riddler Challenges!!). It was a really fun game, although very predictable (the so called 'reveal of the Arkham Knight's identity' i mean...), and a kinda lazy ending. I'm a (not so secret) DC fanboy, and there were certain plot points and twists i really had a problem with. But, yeah, aside from that, it does deserve all the praise it's getting.
@readyletsgo yeah, i agree. I wonder if Microsoft are even going to bother releasing their next system in Japan.
@Wolfgabe Who doesn't love the bat, seriously? There even was a long running Batman manga. It wasn't very good, but still interesting though. Did you know there were once plans for making a Godzilla vs. Batman movie?
@faint Well, to be fair, Apple is a marketing machine They can sell anything by just putting the Apple logo on it. They are probably the best marketing company in the world (aside from Disney, perhaps).
@readyletsgo Yeah, i guess you're right. And yes, the launch titles were indeed pretty bad, but the same can be said about the PS4. And yet the PS4 recovered while the X1 didn't. But now both systems have plenty of Japanese-oriented games, and yet the X1 STILL doesn't sell?!
I wonder why they don't just drop the support for the japanese market, because poor sales like these must cost them a massive amount of money on the long run, right?
Pretty much what i expected for games like Batman AK & Yoshi's Woolly world... They're both great games and deserve to be high on the list!!! But i just can't see the appeal of Yo-kai Watch. But then again, i'm not really their target demographic at all.
I feel bad for X1, though. I wonder why it barely sells, while the PS4 is doing awesome. Most of the PS4 games on this list are multiplats, also available on X1. There's no reason why the sales should be this poor. Is it because Microsoft isn't a Japanese company, or what?
Man, if the game sucks, it sucks...if it does not, ...big deal! Defend or attack the game all you like, it won't change a thing whatsoever. Why are you guys even arguing??? Do you honestly think you can convince other people to your way of thinking?!
There are dozens of other games to play right now, so stop wasting your time and everyone elses. And please just stop with these nonsensical rants!
Why does this even exist as a full game? It would be great as some dlc expansion, but as a full game... i just don't see the appeal.
But that's just me
I was not the biggest fan of his, especially because of the state Nintendo is in today... but this is indeed sad news to hear on a rainy monday morning. RIP
@VeeFlamesNL Not at all. Just glad it is being released in NA, but it's strange it's not being done by Nintendo ( who'll release the game everywhere else)

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Dismissal of Chris Prangar Highlights Issues With Company Culture
Great article! A little bit too controversial for a 'Nintendo fansite', perhaps? But i can't disaggree with anything said in the article.
Re: Xbox Boss Phil Spencer Acknowledges Nintendo as a 'Beacon' for First-Party Games
@Chaoz Well, he's not a developer, he's the head of the company... that's why it seems like obvious PR to me. But by all means, believe what you want.
Re: Xbox Boss Phil Spencer Acknowledges Nintendo as a 'Beacon' for First-Party Games
@ningeek185 Riiiight, sorry, but i can't see statements like this as anything but obvious attempts at cheap PR...
Re: Xbox Boss Phil Spencer Acknowledges Nintendo as a 'Beacon' for First-Party Games
Wow, a few nice words about Nintendo, and everyone here starts writing love notes to the guy!!!
You know this is just PR talk, plain and simple.

Re: Devil's Third Will Be Released In North America, Just Not By Nintendo
It's good news this game will be released in NA, but it is kinda disrespectful of them to release it everywhere except in NA
