Loved this game. I still regularly play the soundtrack to this day.

This game is incredible and I loved every second of it. I love it when passionate creators and passionate fans collide in the best way possible.

I absolutely cannot wait for this. What a love letter to the original arcade game.

The game will do well, very well. So it’ll just come down to if the developer wants to do it. Still, as it is, this has had me so excited and I cannot wait to play. I appreciate all their hard work.

Preordered and ready to go, like the heroes in a half shell!

Their entire store went down in flames because of this — unreal.

I was on the site 3 minutes after the news that preorders were live and I got a whole range of problems, logged me out, said my limit was reached, even though I hadn’t added anything yet, got put in a waiting room, then you couldn’t log back in at all. Man, what a disaster this was.

I never got one, don’t expect I will at this point.

If you have a New 3DS, definitely pick it up if you get it at a decent price.

Oddly enough, even as a big splatoon fan, I never picked this up, so hey this works for me.

Same for me. I’ve had Nintendo and Sony consoles ever since the SNES and PS1, and I never, ever had a problem with sticks. I have 4 pairs of Joy Cons, and every single one of them has had drift, some of them, multiple times too. Nintendo’s slow pace at acknowledging the problem, while they piled up in repair shops, to the point they needed more workspaces, is just madness.

As far as what’s happening, as I understand it, the sticks that they used wear down on a graphite plate that rubs off and creates debris. This then causes incorrect or random inputs. This was what I read a while ago though so if someone knows more, or better info, feel free to correct me.

It’s wild to me that, all the testing done in R&D, and joy con drift ended up affecting so many people. What’s even more wild is it took Nintendo so long to acknowledge the problem, kinda, and as a result, you get awful stories like this.

I always thought summer was a great time for Splatoon. September is not really summer to me, but hey, a date is a date. I can’t wait, I love Splatoon.

Maybe on a steep discount. This game was alright, but I played it during the Wii days, and I’m not really itching to play it again.

The game was… ok. Star Fox was the first game I thought of when the Wii U came out with the game pad. However, the game was just ahead of its time. The games not bad, it’s just not really worth revisiting. The levels are just very sparse and empty cause the game had to draw two frames, on the game pad and the tv, instead of just one. There was only so much they could do with it. I just feel there’s better games out there that could get sequels or remasters.

I agree with him, Nintendo’s been all over the place. Adding these obscure games would be fine if they also added some more recognizable titles too. But worse, the additions are sporadically added too. There’s literally no road map when games are coming.

It’s beautiful…🥲

Even if you have it already on other systems, I highly recommend Resident Evil Revelations. It had some of the best uses of 3D for a third party game. Very atmospheric on the little handheld.

I keep throwing my wallet into my iPad, but nothing is happening!

I’ve been really looking forward to this one. I love this style and I love strategy games. I can’t believe they kept that name, but oh well.

This is fine. It’s better than what I’ve been doing with platinum points before this, which was letting them expire.

I think we all took a collective sigh of relief when we saw the more open areas. Legends, was such a breath of fresh air, and I am so, so happy to see that influence in the next gen. I can’t wait.

What a disaster.

This was one of my favorite third party games on 3DS. The 3D was actually really well done; not only could you adjust it on the 3DS itself, but you could adjust it further in the game settings too. Great atmosphere, great level designs, great combat, and a decent story, even if it gets kinda dumb at the end.

I can’t believe this game is 10 years old. My god, where does the time go?

Retirement goals! She made bank, good for her!

This game is so good. A well deserved success.

As a graphic designer, I give that subtitle a 10/10

Kirby games are like wearing a good pair of shoes, they’re either good or great, and this one looks great.

This is cool, I’ll definitely pick this up.

I hope it’s true, the time is right to release a new Mario Kart.

Very hyped for some more Splatoon. I can’t wait.

If you’re looking for a good mature RPG, this one is a great pick. I’m so glad to hear it’s selling well. It’s good to remember that I’m sure the sales expectation for this game was limited and niche. 800,000 copies in 2 months vs 600,000 in two years is a stellar achievement. A Switch user base of over 90 million certainly doesn’t hurt too.

Awesome looking boxart but omg that name. Literally the two most boring words, together, lol

Still, really looking forward to this. Octopath Traveler (which is still a terrible name — but better than triangle strategy), was one of my favorite games in the Switch’s early years.

Oh man, this is tough. I’m kinda looking forward to all of them honestly.

I would say I was cautiously optimistic when it was announced. I thought merging handheld and home console was incredibly smart. Nintendo has always dominated in the handheld market, so it really just played to its strengths.

As far as games, or third party offerings, again I was cautiously optimistic. Granted, its still not quite there, but it’s better than where we were years ago. I know it was an old game by then, but getting Skyrim on the system early on doesn’t get enough credit. It was so cool being able to play that whenever I wanted, and it’s actually a pretty good port too.

I do think the Switch really, really needs some part quality improvements. The Joycons are still laughably bad. I will never understand why they won’t just bite the bullet and just “fix” the drifting problem. I’m not saying they need to go as far as recalling them, but it would be nice if I could go to a store and buy joycons that I know are solid, and likely won’t drift, or at least drift for a while. Their quiet “were looking into it” stance has been frustrating and maddening.

All in all, most of the criticisms in the article were fair, but Nintendo was able to overcome everything cause they just make really good games for the handheld market. Me personally, I love the switch, and I hope they keep going with a hybrid console.

I never played Saints Row, but heck for 3 bucks, why not give it a shot.

Always nice to have options. I’m really enjoying this so far, been challenging and fun as heck, especially in handheld mode.

Man, what a disaster this game has been.

For me, I did not like Skyward Sword at all. It wasn’t even the motion controls that bothered me, I just found the entire game incredibly boring. But hey, if it took Skyward Sword to get BotW, then I’m certainly ok with it happening.

Just got it preordered. Perfect gift for my best friend, who is probably the biggest megaman fan on the planet.

As someone who came from an extremely toxic work environment myself, these issues are disappointing to hear. It took me years to find something better — and I finally have. It’s hard work, but it’s worthwhile work, and I have a great group of co workers, and decent bosses.

I can really relate to the “they know people, so they just stay quiet” bit. My old boss was not a nice person at all. And when I say not nice, he’s so petty and small, that if you asked him to be a reference, he’d torpedo you with a perspective employment opportunity, just because you left his “amazing business”. Therefore, I do not list him as a reference, I cannot take the chance, plus, I don’t need him anyway. The point here is, some people are terrible, and some really are as bad as they say.

Metroid Dread is amazing, but I hope that MS can figure out some better practices. Employees, no matter what the job is, deserve good conditions to work in. It’s really just that simple.

My package is delayed, but it’s on the way. Very exciting that Samus is back in a big way.

For me, I’m doing just fine with my regular switch, but it’s nice to know there’s a modified switch if it dies unexpectedly. If you’re getting one though, I hope you enjoy it.

@Dizzard

I hear ya. I did live in the country, but moved closer to a city, so that changed. But I certainly know the feeling.

Street pass was really fun, and I loved visiting NYC and getting 10 hits almost instantly, lol.

Yeah a bygone era now, unfortunately. I do wish the Switch had some sort of social function like that.

When he passed away, I was devastated. Losing him felt like losing part of my childhood. May he rest in peace

Is there any way they can just “fast travel” the shipments?

I think I’ll wait until there’s a real need to upgrade, like if my switch breaks or dies. I have the original model, and it’s doing just fine. I’m trying to save up for a PS5 currently, so when they’re readily available I can just go for it. And yes, I expect to wait a while, which is fine.

@avictorao

I agree the same is true about Prime 4, but it’s more understandable cause Nintendo was picking up the pieces of their disastrous Federation Force game and wanted the fans to be excited, about something. So I get the reasoning there, even though it was flawed and the development started over. A shame it happened that way.

Agreed that Bayonetta 3 is just simply a case of announcing way too early, and we’ve seen absolutely nothing about it.

It’ll bounce back in a few days, the markets flip flop more than actual flip flops.

I voted a “B”. Very solid showing today. Metroid was a big win, and a great holdover while we wait for Prime 4. I loved Samus Returns, and there seems to be a lot of mechanics from that game.

Warioware! Love the series, so happy to see it back. And speaking of happy to see it back, Advance Wars! Wow, did not expect that.

Only downer was BotW 2 being 2022, but I honestly expected it. Covid was such a challenge for everyone and I’m sure it played a part. It’s totally ok though, there’s plenty to play this year.
