@progx Actually it's Nintendo's fault for using 64gb carts and giving no other option. It would cost the developer money to use the carts to port their games.
OW is a game not really worth my time, or money. Between this and the already toxic OW community (that I had to endure during my time playing) I say good riddance to bad rubbish.
@TheLightSpirit I can relate to that, trust me. Try to find some new roommates if you can. If you live with lazy people that want to sit around playing video games, or watching tv all day, and they have no one else bringing in the bread, they'll eventually sink. Let them learn the hard way.
I personally don't have much interest in Fortnite, but have to admit, their marketing is off the charts. For anyone hoping that this is the death of Fornite, you got a long wait, because it's not going anywhere. This is just to make way for a whole new map.
Well, how about that? Release quality games, get sales in quantity! Impressive, considering MK11 came out late April. I'm sure there are others, like me, that haven't got around to buying it yet.
@Ayye-ant Buy GTA on another platform if you want it so bad. It's plainly obvious with the success of the Switch that Rockstar should have brought it over by now. They failed to do that, so THQ Nordic swooped in and capitalized on that absence. Probably to gouge interest for a 5th entry in the series.
For anyone that doesn't have a Ding Dong XL should get this. It has tons of gameplay. If you get tired, you can always play for a few hours the next day. Had mine since early teens.
"If Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen sells well on Switch, then we might consider porting DMC 5."
Sorry, I'm not buying a 7 year old game on a might. You've just lost a sale with that statement alone. Not buying those old a** Resident Evil ports either. I'm through with Capcom. Bye Felicia
Sounds like Poorja Boy to me; if he only has green diamonds. That's the lowest unit of currency in Zelda. I have stacks of silver and gold diamonds like Zelda 😂
@CupidStunt I never questioned whether Platinum can pull this off, just saying this could strain the relationship between Microsoft and Nintendo. It was originally supposed to appear on the Wii, so shouldn't be too hard of feelings.
Would be fantastic news if true. This was actually the only reason I wanted to buy an Xbox One. I'd much prefer this to Astral Chain. I suppose this would put a major damper in Nintendo and Microsoft's relationship, though
Wow, looks amazing. Team Cherry has been a godsend to gaming and seems to be one of the few developers out there not motivated by greed. Charging only $15 for the original masterpiece, giving away free DLC and now backers getting the sequel for free! Unheard of. Idk whether to call it wizardry or slavery. I won't even get mad if the decide to charge full price for the sequel.
Fortnites days are numbered. All the hardcore and casual players are leaving in droves. The kids will be the only ones left to plug the holes of that sinking ship.
I've not gotten around to playing Rage 1 or 2, so I definitely would love to play this on Switch if possible. Any Post-Apocalyptic game like Mad Max or Fallout I'm all for.
Oh wow! Retro has a pretty rocky history, so they will now have a ton of pressure on them to get this right. Some of the developers are no longer there. Hopefully they can get this done.
@Arcamenel Racism existed before Obama and it will continue to always exist in all different walks of people. Nothing you can really do about that. This is not about what a person thinks, it's more about what a person does. Obama fueled a lot of hate in people that has triggered violence across America. His rhetoric has formed two hate groups; Antifa and BLM. Both groups commit violence and try to shut down free speech. They accuse those that carry the American flag of being Nazis or white supremacist. I don't know about you, but I don't see any phantom KKK members or Nazis, do you? Although BLM and Antifa are sure acting like how the Nazis did. Btw, those things you mentioned happened a long time ago. I think it's time for everyone to move on from that. The US has corrected it's mistakes of the past, but are certainly not the only ones to blame for that. Almost everyone has been slaves at some point in time and some places like China, North Korea and India still have slavery, while most of us Americans fought to end it. It's time to stop playing the blame game, the race card game of the far past and move on.
I might have to snatch me up a copy for that price. Seems like Capcom is heading in the right direction when it comes to the Switch so far. Not only are they giving Switch owners the option to buy physical but for a reasonable price as well. I stayed far away from double dipping on REV 2 simply because I didn't want to dedicate 24gb on a digital purchase.
@Spoony_Tech Joy Mech Fight is the 3rd one. I don't know if that will help much though.
Edit: Nevermind, that's only in Japan. Unless you want to download the Japanese version lol... Wow, this service is becoming a bigger joke by the month.
For anyone who has never played this, get it, you will love it. It starts off slow at first, but it gets fun as you go. It's got a Witcher and Shadow of the Colossus type of vibe. Maybe even a dash of Zelda (dungeons/puzzles)
Blaze is thick af, tbh! Though, not sure if I'm feeling the new art direction. It doesn't look bad, just doesn't seem to fit the SOR theme at all. Hopefully, there will be a beautiful soundtrack and lovely gameplay to make up for that.
This isn't the full story NL. Some witnesses later claimed there was another weapon thrown in a dumpster nearby, described as looking like some sort of explosive. The bomb squad was notified by police about the situation. They shut down every street within a ten block radius. When the bomb expert arrived at the danger zone, he found what appeared to be a vr headset.
I hope the government doesn't use this as an excuse to ban our light guns and vr. That would be a major blow to the gaming industry.
How would the world sleep at night, knowing that they could've seen the butts of two hamburgers? It's good to know Facebook is keeping our children and some sensitive adults safe from the horrors of this world.
@OorWullie Good deal. I might be tempted to pick up either Yoshi, or NSMBU since I never got that on WiiU. That DXM game... Idk, something turns me off about it. Just have to wait and see on that one. MK11 will be coming out in, I think April? So I will be picking that up too. Man, 2019 is looking to be a good year so far.
@Simonmoskovits Yw bro. Yeah, I'd say Nintendo is definitely on the right track. I just wish they would release 1 big title through early or mid part of the year to keep up the momentum. It was starting to slip away until Pokemon and Smash picked up the pieces. It doesn't matter, it can be 1st or third-party. Though, I suppose Fortnite and Diablo 3 may have sold some Switches, holding up the fort (pun intended) till Poke and Smash arrived. It was a bumpy 2018, but not too bad. I think next year we'll see more releases throughout the year. Anyway, I hope there is no movie tie in for Pokemon as well. I''ve never been a Pokemon fan, but this is the first that I've had any insterest. For the first time ever I'm actually excited about Pokemon. Wow, never thought I would say that!
Predictions for total hardware sales March 2019 - 32-35 million. I bet an imaginary dollar!
What do y’all think?
I'll go with 33m. I'm not much of a betting man, but I can spare an imaginary dollar. I can win at poker 8 out of 10 times but as soon as I put real money on the table, I lose 8 out of 10.
@Simonmoskovits Nintendo sold about 18m units the first year. Their target for March of next year is 20m. So basically they estimated to sell 38m consoles by March 2019, which there is no chance of that happening now. Nothing to worry about, Nintendo just overestimated a bit. It's possible it could be in the early 30's by then.
