Wow, those prices are a steal. Will pick up after work today

I’m interested. Not sold yet, I just need to see more. But I loved the series, so I’m really pulling for this one.

@Heavyarms55

You should watch it, it was a great conclusion to the series.

Remarkable how they’ve turned it around. I actually really like the new games. I think the series needed the change. If I have any complaints, it’s that 3 Houses has almost too much going on, but otherwise it’s a fantastic game.

I think a May release date would be the perfect time for it.

Can’t wait to play this on Switch, this game was just begging to be ported into the HD era.

Some of the biggest games, Pokemon, Splatoon, and now Animal Crossing don’t have cloud save support. It’s just flat out madness.

@BlueMage

That’s promising, let’s hope so!

Such great support! Can’t wait to see it for myself.

I really hope Dr. Doom is playable!

@Aaron09

It’s true. I remember a certain person on here who even changed his icon to Smash 4 cause they just didn’t believe it was a new installment. They’re gone now, thank god. Such a troll, and I’m sure there’s plenty more out there.

I hardly think that this will be the end of Smash, especially with the numbers it put up. In terms of what you do from here? I dunno. Either reboot it with a smaller roster, or keep going with the insane roster. I can’t imagine trying to balance 70 or 80 characters though. Madness.

Weird response.

I dunno, I kinda feel like they missed their opportunity now.

Finally! I was able to order one.

I’m maybe 2/3 of the way through this game, and it’s incredible. Loving the story branch I picked. I will pick up the dlc when I do a second playthrough.

In the US, it’s sitting at 64% on Rotten Tomatoes — but will get a lot more reviews soon. I mean, that’s not too bad, especially for a video game movie.

I definitely would have thought we would have heard from them by now, if anything, just to plug Animal Crossing.

I totally forgot about the app.

They found the leaker, and it was a gaming site?? Yikes...

Really eyeing that civ 6 expansion pack...

@mattesdude

20 bucks is a steal, go for it. I’ve sunken 250 hours into Civ 6, so the only downside of it is that it will take over your life for a while, haha.

People have gotta get over it. Over 70 characters and some still kick and scream cause a series is over represented. It’s not even the end either, we’re getting six more. I’m at the point where I don’t even know or care who they can add anymore. There’s already so many characters and video games represented. The six characters we get are just extra fluff to me at this point.

@Tantani

Nintendo isn’t publishing it this time, though from what I understand, they still own the trademark, and were also the co-creator of the series. So Platinum had to get their blessing to port to PC and PS4. Is it odd? I guess maybe it is, but W101 didn’t sell well at all so I guess Nintendo didn’t think it would hurt to port it to a wider audience. Nintendo just isn’t involved this time other than granting permission.

As I understand it, if a new game comes out Nintendo wants it exclusive to Switch, and I think Platinum will have to abide.

I gave Fortnite a fair shake, but I just couldn’t get into it. I like Splatoon and Overwatch much more.

Mario + Rabbids 2, please and thank you!

My theory is that nobody has a clue what’s going on except for Nintendo.

I have this, but wasn’t able to play it yet. Still getting through Fire Emblem and Witcher 3. So maybe I’ll get to it in a year or so, lol.

@Crono1973

I actually very much agree with this, I’ve always thought that was a silly argument. Nintendo may have its own niche market, but it’s still in the game business as a whole. Whether directly or indirectly, they are still competing for people’s hard earned dollars.

They shouldn’t be too complacent as trends can change quickly. The Wii sold incredibly well, but by about 2009, sales really started to slow down because HD televisions really took off. Yes, the Wii sold 100 million units, but it was practically irrelevant by 2010-2011.

All I’m saying is that I hope they’re being a little more cautious than what they’re leading on here. I’d argue that the Switch is positioned much better than the Wii was, with it being a hybrid system, but you still need to pay close attention to what Microsoft and Sony are doing.

I do really wonder if Sony is gonna try a handheld again, something that connects to the PS5 that you can take on the go.

Iwata would have loved how Smash turned out, great work as always. I hope he works on a passion project next, take a little break from Smash for now.

@delt75

Yeah, street pass was surprisingly addictive. I loved finding people as well. I love the Switch, but I also wish it had some of those features. I guess they were concerned about battery life, but it still woulda been nice to have even if you could turn the feature off to save the battery.

@jipiboily

Haha, lucky! I was never able to find one to try. Clearly the was a system way ahead of its time.

Love both of these games, not done with Astral Chain yet, but it’s been very enjoyable so far. UA3, I’m working on my second playthrough. I just love those games.

@Supadav03

That’s a great idea, and a nice way to repurpose it. I hope she enjoys it!

@delt75

I feel the same way. The 3DS is one of the best systems I’ve ever played. I’d even go further and say the 3DS is one of Nintendo’s most important handheld devices. It basically saved them from disaster when the Wii U was bombing hard. They were able to keep their losses at a minimum cause the 3DS was still selling pretty well in its prime.

I thought I’d get discontinued by the end of 2019, but it’s held on a little longer than expected. However, 2020 is certainly gonna be the end of the 3DS era. That’s just not a sustainable number. But hey don’t be sad, 9 years for a handheld console is pretty darn impressive.

I think they can hit those numbers with Animal Crossing coming. It is a quiet beast.

@jipiboily

The Virtual Boy is considered a handheld device, even though there’s nothing remotely handheld about it lol. But a lot of times even on those charts it’s not included cause it was such a failure.

If at all possible, they need a BIG game to at least make some noise after the PS5 and new Xbox release. Something along the lines of BotW 2. Not sure if it’ll be ready, but they need something like that.

What an odd choice of words, lol.

As a fellow animator (though stop motion is much harder to do), this is amazing. Nice job!

What was the point of this article exactly?

Saw this on twitter last night, so, so sweet. That smile lights up the world.

More than anything in the world? Non drifting joy cons.

@Kwehst

The one holding two other weapons besides a sword.

I find the addition fine. Sakurai loves the series, so let him have fun with it. Let’s step back for a second — Smash Ultimate has an insane roster as it is. It’s hard to be disappointed when there’s just so many characters to begin with.

@rjejr

Ah that makes some sense. I mean it’s been so long that everything is starting to mix together.

If we don’t get a Pikmin 4 this year, I don’t think it’s real. And if it is, it wasn’t nearly as far along as we suspected. I know what Miamoyto said, but I’m wondering if he was referencing Hey Pikmin on 3DS instead.

I like E3. It’s sorta like Christmas, except you don’t get anything but announcements, haha. I hope it sticks around a little longer, but yeah, it’s influence is starting to wane.

Nintendo’s approach has been good, just an online presentation that gets to the point, then they have booths and games afterwords. It works for them. I wouldn’t care if Xbox and Sony did the same thing. Most of the live shows have awkward transitions and moments that break the mood/flow. Like Sony making people move to another venue in the middle of their own presentation...

As for Sony, I’m not really sure what’s going on with them. I don’t think it would be wise to skip E3 again with the PS5 coming this holiday. Last year made sense to the fact that they didn’t really have much to talk about, but this year, there certainly is.
