Eh, mostly just a way to save a few bucks. I miss when they used to just let you spend Club Nintendo coins (a few, not a ton) on old NES title ports once a month. It was simple, it was humble, it was a fun way to discover titles you might not have otherwise tried.

Not sure what point an adult game has after it's censored, it feels like an unnecessary restriction. I'm not a fan of this type of game but if I were, I certainly wouldn't gravitate to a censored port.

Eh, I just sort of stopped caring when it wasn't available on Switch. I've never been super into the game, but it's always seemed to me like one of those super time consuming games that you need to be able to sink grinding time into, and I usually restrict those to handheld. Gonna pass for now, I might pick up a Switch port if it drops. In the meantime I'm keeping my PS4 to short and sweet titles with big spectacle that the Switch can't play.

@Henmii I gave it a go recently, gameplay videos don't really do it justice. It's difficult, but engaging and kind of relaxing. I'd recommend giving it a chance.

Always loved these games, insta-buy already.

I've always liked Miis as a bridge between the player's real world identity and a universal in-game avatar. For casual games that aren't dependant on a consistent world (ex: Animal Crossing, Mariokart, etc) they're a perfect fit. The idea of having a consistent avatar to take into all kinds of games when you play is appealing, though I do feel they should have added more customization features as time went on. Maybe some clothing outside of miitomo too, and people would have cared more.

Proftiable or no, this is really sticking it to the people who spent actual money on outfits, posters etc. Within the game. I spent a total of like, four bucks and a ton of My Nintendo coins. I'm sure there are people out there who paid more. Only giving us like, 2-3 years of service for a game that pushes people to pay real money to invest in in-game items feels pretty scummy for Nintendo. I feel like it deserved a few more years, even as a ghost town.

Surprised this is even news. Poor guy took a bet and lost.

Personally not hyped because, well, I have enough clutter but for kids this is an awesome idea. I just hope they keep the cardboard sets cheap, that will really be the deciding factor here.

Here's hoping they update it to adjust the iteration cycles. The game is fun, but bottomless pits that send you back any more than a minute of gameplay, especially in a game like this where just getting to a shard is already a big deal have made me put the game down one too many times.

@TheOpponent Actually yeah, that would be awesome. We've already got ports on the dock, it would make perfect sense.

Seems like virtual joysticks have been kind of an industry standard for years. I remember playing a port of Sonic on an old iphone in the shop almost ten years ago with one of those little virtual sticks. Even if they had it, it doesn't look like they've been protecting the property too much.

@ekwcll I dunno, the minigames feel like they're still just there to break up the fighting. I've never played Arms with anyone and heard the suggestion "Oh let's play volleyball".

I enjoyed this game a lot, though I'll admit I don't recognize any of these characters which doesn't exactly get me hyped up. I'd like to play Gal Gun at some point though, waiting on a Switch port for now. Don't see the point in a mighty number 9 character though, I know it's technically a crossover game but Beck always felt like he was just in it to be there anyways.

Shame. I would hope it gets some more expansion content at some point in the future, even if it's not currently being planned or developed. That said, as is it's a pretty sweet fighting game with a ton of fresh ideas, albeit with a light single player experience and a few characters who are less than, well... Memorable. I mean, I can't say Spring Man or Master Mummy are really memorable Nintendo faces...

iphone exclusive, splitting the community for minor features, seems like a scummy move to me.

Also just gonna say this pre-order discount makes a ton of sense. Currently there's no reason to pre-order games, but a little discount in exchange for them getting cash early on to sink into advertising or cocaine or whatever they like is a good trade-off, especially with indie stuff. This should be more common.

This is adorbs and I will put a honey alert on it to wait for a sale.

Interested, but as is I'm in a game overload. Maybe if it was on Switch for my Switch Pokemon fix, but on 3DS I have plenty of games to go through.

I'd totally jump on this for the novelty for a buck or two, but knowing Nintendo they'll crank the price up too high again. Retro games are great and all, but not all of them really hold attention for too long anymore and a lot of them can just be emulated.

Not saying piracy is awesome or anything, but in the decades without these games a lot of us have just played them through emulators. I wouldn't pirate a game I can buy but for the last few years nobody WAS able to buy this.

Eh, I wasn't crazy about it on 3DS so I'm not too hyped here. It was okay, but to me it felt like it kind of lacked an identity beyond just a sort of hard platformer with a layer gimmick. Maybe if it had a little story, or some sort of a unique art style I would have stuck around but as is, it just kind of fades into my memories of games past.

I haven't played nearly enough of this title, probably around 15 hours.

Yet, every time I pull it up for online I end up having a fantastic time. It's weird. I never think to play it, but the few times I do I always enjoy it.

I dunno... Reviews for this have been pretty lukewarm so far, and the whole removing Jontron, then banning people from their communities for just about anything fiasco hasn't inspired confidence. I might pick it up on sale one day, or in a humble bundle, but I don't foresee myself buying it for now. Shame, I was pretty into it too.

@Rayquaza2510 I'm aware of that, but it doesn't make it okay. Rushing a game to release and then packing the fixes into a day one patch might be more efficient but evidently the customer still has issues with it because we're always here talking about it. Old way was you finish the game, then you ship it.

Day one DLC on the other hand, I'm totally cool with. That's new content, so I say bring it on.

I actually played this one on PS4 and it had huge technical issues there too. I liked the game and I've just bought Season 2 to see where it goes, but it still had slowdown, glitches and a recurring error where the game crashes after each episode's credits on a PS4 Pro.

Total weaksauce. Spent nearly seventy bucks this year on the PSN store though for Black Friday, so it's probably a good thing.

These are barely sales. Outside of the switch case, this is like a minor amazon sale on any other day. Black Friday has become so pointless over the years.

We need more stability. This afternoon, my switch gave me a notification that said it liked me a lot. An hour later, a notification that just read "don't go to school tomorrow". I demand greater stability.

I want to hear him speaking like JD in Heathers.

That was adorable. I still have a little BoxBoy to go on 3DS, but I would happily jump to get it on my switch.

Probably gonna buy the DLC after I finish the main game. I don't play it often, but whenever I pull it out with a friend it's always a good time.

Best post I ever saw was a well drawn NSFW image of the Arcade Bunny and his Boss. The boss literally had a joystick, like from an Atari except it seemed to function the same as, well, the other kind.

@Ainz TBH from the moment I found Grante I thought it was silly to restrict him from selling those items anyways. Isn't re-buying special stuff the whole point of him?

Shame. Probably gonna hold off and get it on PS4 after some reviews drop. I would rather have a handheld option, but it seems the game isn't taking full advantage of the dock.

Pretty eager to play Forces, even if reviews don't pan out too well. I just want to play a Sonic game that takes itself a little more seriously for a change.

Even with the lukewarm reviews, I'm really looking forward to playing this. I loved generations and if it can deliver at all on the tone and idea that they're building I'll happily take it.

@Jop You can, but there's less eye-contact, direct interaction, etc. I've noticed that for awhile now. Tabletop games are generally inferior, but they still have a place because they can facilitate conversation so well. That, and I find people who aren't game-savvy are often very resistant even to basic party games. It's a small sample size of friends though, so maybe most people are more eager to explore the medium.

@HydroTendonMan and @Rayquaza2510 I've heard that the reason is because they're rushed, so the fixes have to be developed after the game ships and added as a patch later. That said, it's super sloppy and it means the people who buy on day one get punished with a buggy unfinished game for supporting the publisher.

Never understood the awesome fanart people were able to do on those touch screens. Hope they replace it with something new quickly, maybe something that doesn't ban people for cursing and instead just filters stuff out for kids.

@CCore28 It's really pushing it too, seeing how much harder it is to gather people around a video-game board game than a physical one.

"Hey, wanna play monopoly?"

"Yeah sure."

"Cool. Lemme get the switch hooked up, and everyone pick a joy-con."

"What?"

"Yeah, it's a video game now. That way we don't need to sit at a table and talk to eachother."

"Oh."

@Rika_Yoshitake Totally. I'm always baffled by day one patches. Do they not test these things before selling them? Day one it should be ready to go, not every game should need the devs racing out to fix it the moment you buy it.

Gonna try it out just to see, but I'm not making an Australian My Nintendo account. I'll see if I can tie it to google, if not I'll trash it for a month.

I expected it to look worse, I kind of like the thick border lines and colors on the characters here. Environments could be better, though.

Not bad, a bit light though. I'm hoping to see the DLC really support this game in multiple waves, like it did with Hyrule Warriors (which I will still buy on Switch any day now, Nintendo).

@Kayfios That wasn't really my point. Kids generally like what's advertised to them, but that doesn't mean all of their entertainment is created equally. Shark Tale and Monsters Vs. Aliens were both movies I saw as a kid. As a kid, they were fine. As an adult, I don't look back on them with the same fondness I have for say, Shrek, Finding Nemo, etc.

I'm just saying that this guy's track record indicates this is going to be a bland, forgettable miscarriage of a movie and I hope I'm wrong about that because frankly I find the idea of it hilarious.

Yikes, what a resume. So basically the guy who directed all of the worst dreamworks movies. Hopes are not high.

@ZeldaToThePast It's rather confusing. The "themes" tab has been there for what now, six months? How long does it take to upload some pngs of Mario and charging two bucks for them?

For now my 200gb card will hold out until those 500gb cards get cheap enough. Then the 200gb goes into the phone, the phone's 128 goes into the 3DS, 3DS card goes into the tablet and tablet card goes for sale. Circle of memory replacement.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Then again, Steam players are constantly overwhelmed with sales and bundles. As a humble bundle buyer my steam library is beyond unmanagable, so a lot of the games in it don't get played. I buy something for my Switch, it's getting my attention.

@gatorboi352 I dunno, I kinda like the joy cons. I use the pro most of the time, but that's just because I'm used to it. It's not like the gamepad where it's huge and clunky, a few joy cons in a grip are still perfectly nice to use, at least as fine as a Dualshock 4.
