Tomodachi Life was a much better experience in my opinion. Miitomo just got so boring. I was done with it after about 2 weeks. Nintendo didn’t do enough to keep it interesting until it was too late. If they had dropped Nintendo clothes earlier, or some better reason to keep playing maybe it would have had better legs. A nice experiment I guess. A game of the decade though? Eh, can’t say I agree, cause nearly everyone here had completely forgotten about it, but everyone has a opinion.

What I don’t understand from angry fans is that they’re doing this instead of making a “new game with a twist”. Would you rather they just do the same thing they’ve done before and drop new games with barely anything new to them?? 30 bucks is cheaper than 60, and I get to use my same save file, so I don’t have to play through the story again. Works for me.

“Paywall”
“Bitter”
“Enraged”
“Disappointed”
“Pokémon should be ashamed.”

That’s all I keep reading from Pokémon comments all day. Frankly, I’d much rather they do this than make a “new game with a twist” like they’ve done since pretty much forever. Some people have gotten to the point where you’re just not gonna be happy with anything Pokémon does. If that’s the case, maybe it’s time to just move on to other gaming adventures.

As for me, I like what I saw. I really enjoyed the wild area, and since the expansions are done the same way, I’m sold.

Personally, I’d rather they do dlc than releasing “new” games with a “twist”. Aka ultra sun and moon, etc.

No feet, but that aside the game was phenomenal. It absolutely saved the franchise. It’s crazy to think that 3 Houses easily may not have happened.

It’s obviously about Home, the timing just makes sense. Now, 20 minutes is a bit much to just talk about Pokémon storage, so maybe, maybe there’s something else to talk about, but the star will be Pokémon Home.

For all others “disappointed” by the news, calm down. The real Nintendo Direct will be here soon, I’d guess in 2-4 weeks. Pokémon Co has always done announcements whenever they wanted.

That’s a Switch.

@Ventilator

I remember that whole fiasco. Fatal Frame never came to NA physically — digital only. That was only in Europe and Japan if I recall correctly.

I get occasional crashes, so anything to help with that would be good. Otherwise it’s a really great port, so anything else they may do is appreciated.

Personally, I’d like to have Pikmin 3. That game was incredible. However, I voted for Xenoblade X. I never played it, but my wife would lose her mind if that came to Switch — her favorite game on the Wii U.

Folders would be much appreciated

“You've deluded yourselves and others into believing everyone is experiancing what you're experiancing.”

Funny, I was gonna tell you the exact same thing.

@vio

I watched that earlier this year. It’s a good video, and probably the most in-depth review on the internals of the joy con.

@XenoEmblem

“If I can have that many controllers not have any problems, and I use them constantly and extensively, then the average person shouldn't be having this problem.”

Interesting logic there, I’ll play along.

I have 3 joy con sets in my house. 2 of them have drift issues, therefore I can determine that drift is occurring on 66% of the average Switch users! Math is fun.

I can’t believe there’s still people out there who think people who’ve had joy con drift are mishandling their hardware. What? We’re not throwing our Switches down a flight of stairs every day. In most cases, it has just been from normal use. That isn’t normal, it’s a design flaw in the hardware. Just cause you haven’t had an issue doesn’t mean it isn’t a problem overall. You’ve just been lucky so far.

I’ve had systems since the SNES days, and I’ve never had a problem with any of my systems, Nintendo or Sony. But the Switch has a chipped top on the back plate and joy con drift 3 times. My wife’s Switch, which is about a year old, just started drifting as well. She doesn't throw her Switch down the stairs either.

Happy holidays, play lots of games!

I still can’t believe they got Witcher working on Switch. Very impressive port. And Cuphead was about as flawless as you could hope. Next on my list to get is Alien.

Playing through the Witcher right now. I also wanna finish Fire Emblem, the game is incredible. Two long games lol

Just got this from a friend as an early Xmas present. Looking forward to seeing what changed since the demo.

Loved themes on 3DS, it was a great way to add a little personality. I don’t know what Nintendo is waiting for honestly. If they’re worried about Switch boot up time, then just make some static jpgs and sell them for a buck, then there’d at least be something.

The first party Nintendo games will be about 20-30% off.

Loved this game, with its cratering frame rate during special moves, and all. Haha. Really enjoyed this game. Looking forward to doing another play through

A bit of a baffling launch with a lot wrong with the original ports, however, I’m glad to see that they’re trying to instill some goodwill back.

I played it, and it was ok. No offense to anyone who played it, but the community on this game wasn’t what I expected at all. If I needed healing, there was a good chance no one would come for me despite the fact they were often close by. It lost its sense of fun, real quick.

I’d much rather stick with Overwatch and Splatoon for my online gaming fix, where teamwork is much more essential.

A man taken from us way too soon. May he continue to rest peacefully.

They did an incredible job with this port. It obviously makes sacrifices, but I was really surprised how good it looks in motion. You notice the sacrifices more on the tv, but in handheld mode the game really shines due to the smaller screen. I have had a handful of crashes though, so I hope there’s a patch or two to address that. Still, they did an amazing job and kudos to springing for the 32 GB card, it makes a huge difference.

@MisterKorman

My wife played it on her iPad briefly. She got bored of it pretty quickly. But hey, if you’re looking forward to it I hope you enjoy.

The Pokémon Co. doesn’t play around with leakers.

I hardly think there’s anyone waiting around thinking that they want this on Switch.

For Gods sake... People need to calm down, it’s a freaking game. Some gamers are absolutely insane and need help.

Wow, it’s like night and day. Send the animators some love, that redesign is so much better.

Not gonna lie, this brought me joy this morning. If you cheat expect consequences — competitive play or not, he was ruining a fair experience for everyone else. I have no sympathy for him.

@Rapido

I hope for it every day!

Well given that AlphaDream went bankrupt with their last 3DS release, I’d say that’s obvious at this point. Yes, AlphaDream had other problems that led to bankruptcy, but still, NL reported that Nintendo killed other projects cause of it.

3DS had a fantastic run, with some of the best portable games ever made. It kept Nintendo afloat going through the tough years of the Wii U, and that can’t be understated.

Lol, I’ve learned nothing with this.

Largely agree, at least for the Lion King, I had the SNES Aladdin. But with Lion King, I can’t remember a level more infuriating than “I just can’t wait to be king.” It broke my fragile little mind back then.

I like the PS4, so congrats to Sony on this one. PS4 and Switch is the way to go for me right now.

“It's a basic twin-stick shooter that works and you can play it”

Lol, pretty sad when this is a “pro.”

I’m honestly a bit surprised by the scolding tone here. I’ve had it since launch and I thought it was a great port overall. I’ve never had noticeable frame drops. I totally get how taking some plant life out can diminish the overall experience, but come on, nobody is gonna notice some plants were taken out when they’re frantically trying to stop the payload.

@ClaytThaGreat

It actually plays quite well. I played for about and hour or so and it didn’t drop at all. There’s some texture pop in, it seems like the Switch can’t load the assets in time, like it does on PS4. But it fixes itself in a few seconds. No issues during the actual gameplay, it’s been buttery smooth even with lots going on.

A shame their PR disaster is gonna take the shine off this launch, cause it’s a great port of a great game.

Good lord, Blizzard is imploding like a dying star. What a PR nightmare...

Saber did an incredible job here. What’s even more impressive is that cd projekt red allowed them to spring for the 32 Gb cartridge. Great for physical collectors. I’m getting it to show support since they showed such respect to the gamers.

@sanderev

“... true it doesn't look as good as PS4 / PC / XBOX ONE. But it looks really good for a Switch game. Sure the game is not always really smooth, but it plays really good.“

Um, in a nutshell, this is what Digital Foundry said.

@Blizzia

“To me, this is a case of "fighting cleverly", not backing away from a fight. Lol. Fools run in first, and they're the first to fall.“

Lol, Nintendo never runs for anything. Clever little line, but no one is running. Nintendo mostly ignored this problem for the better part of a year. Then we got vague statements with “some users are experiencing...” Now, they’re fixing them for free in the States.

There’s always going to be people like yourself who get lucky and never have to address any problems, and I’m happy for your sake. But come on, you don’t think Nintendo rushed these out the door without proper testing? It’s happened to me far too often. Just from my experience with all of my consoles, over 30+ years, I’ve never been on the phone more times than with Nintendo regarding my Switch joy cons. Did I just get that unlucky? Maybe. But then again, if there seems to be enough evidence to build a lawsuit, I’d have to side with there being some truth to it.

And sure, always minimizing the damage is a good place to start, but Nintendo wouldn’t do it if they had a rock solid case. Maybe they’ll get away with it in terms of the law, but it’s hard to deny that there’s definitely a design flaw that conflicts with the Nintendo brand— and Nintendo knows it.

@Blizzia

“They're only being fixed for free in the US. It's pretty much just a common way of damage control, regardless of whether you're a guilty party or not.“

Lol, what?? If they’re not guilty they wouldn’t have a bunch of joy cons to fix. There is obviously some truth to the lawsuit.

“The fact that they're only doing it in the US... Tells you all you need to know.“

Um, right — that’s where the lawsuit was filed. If Nintendo had no wrongdoing then they wouldn’t be fixing them for free and would have just stuck to their guns, and continued to make money on repairs and pitting the blame on consumers. Its not often Nintendo backs away from a fight, especially one concerning quality. It is admitting the fault in a discrete way cause they want to avoid the word “recall”. The US is one of the largest markets, so it is pretty remarkable that you just shrug it off as no big deal cause other regions don’t have it set as their policy.

@Razer @Blizzia

If I may weigh in, I’ve had the problem on 3 occasions, so it is a major concern for the lite. I have never had any problems with any of my older consoles — Nintendo or otherwise, so it’s not that I’m rough on them either. Some people get lucky, some do not, but as time goes on, the chance of drift will become more and more likely as they get used. It’s a hardware flaw that was overlooked in R&D. And the fact that Nintendo is fixing them for free right after a lawsuit got filed, tells you all you need to know.

Really hoping for those who bought it that they don’t drift. For me it was a primary concern. If it is true, I can’t believe Nintendo went ahead and launched it knowing this was eventually going to be a problem.

A lot of third party games have found success on the platform, so it’s silly not to look into it.

Links Awakening of course! Got the Dreamer edition and that art book is lovely, just lovely!

As for the game itself, it’s just such a joy to play. I love it.

My wallet... it’s crying in pain.
