This is so disappointing.. I hope they can change this prior to release.. even if they just add an option for subtitles it'll suffice.. really want to play this game in Japanese with English subtitles..
It's somewhat disheartening.. sure.. however.. I still expect to be pleasantly surprised come January.. for all we know idle rumour chit chat (graphical power wise) and even if it's not I still expect it have stunning / gorgeous games. Neither Nintendo nor Nvidea would want this to be anything other than a success - sure fanboys will buy it no matter what.. but Nvidea needs this to sell like hotcakes and therefore expect it to come super developer friendly with perhaps the best tools available anywhere - this thing will be optimised like crazy
I'm not sure how I feel about this anymore.. after upgrading my PS4 for a PS4 Pro.. I don't think I could sacrifice 4K res and go back to 1080p (by choice).. however.. Nintendo's art style usually trumps anything else.. so I guess it'll be a wait n see kinda approach..
I'm actually kinda disappointed by this if true. This baby beast needed 8gb minimum.. any word on exactly what spec ram this is gonna be using? I'm just saying.. it's starting to get old with Mark Rein hating on Nintendo in regards of specs
Unless they've invented a totally different way to compress data this would be a dick move. Third party developers & publishers need an arm around their shoulders with options - not chained shackles and whips on their ass
I'm all for Nintendo ditching their proprietary cables & chargers! USB type C is the way forward! Personally though I do strongly feel that the dock should charge the switch wirelessly. It'll be convenient, less messy, feel more "high tech" and like an actual gadget rather than just a toy or videogame.
@gcunit my point being the other 2 ain't got much to moan about especially when considering that the GameCube version sold better and was the better version of the game.
Any backlash will be unjustified.. the original didn't set the charts on fire for the og Xbox / ps2. Actually.. bayonetta sold like crap on the ps3 / 360.
Nintendo.. please sign them up and get an exclusive version of Doom up on the console! Doom 64 was amazing.. we need Doom NX!! I'd so buy the NX in a heartbeat!
@Octane spot on.. at launch I saw games like Batman Armoured Edition retailing for full price when the game on other platforms were in the bargain bin lol.. Mass Effect 3 pissed me off too.. they should've at least given us the Trilogy that they released on other consoles.. oh frame rate sucked too..
If it's the now somewhat aged X1 or something custom based on the now aged X1, it'll be another example of Nintendo shooting themselves in the foot like they have many times before..
Great success story! I wonder how much of a cut Nintendo makes after Niantic & The Pokémon Company?
All in all I hope they go ALL OUT with the upcoming Animal Crossing & Fire Emblem games. As long as the games are good, most people out there don't necessarily mind paying for IAP's. Go for it yo!!
@GravyThief it's shocking that the old and the uneducated have jeopardised the future of their children and their children's children all because of their banana mentalities
@MrYuzhai I understand the discussion can get heated at times, but please let's keep this comment section civil - Octane
The bigots and Jeremy Kyle hopefuls will destroy this country.. the British farmers will feel this hard within the next couple of years and obviously beyond..
@Yrreiht totally agree with you.. speaking of Metroid.. the NX better be a suped up killer beast.. Metroid deserves a huge AAA release that'll be an industry poster child - Prime was killer for its time.. but time has passed.. they need to rock the boat again. It's about damn time Nintendo.
There's many positives from what they've shown.. however I hope they utilise their time well to improve the look & polish of the title to make heads turn.. here's hoping the NX is a beast and pushes this baby well
Nintendo.. Whatever you make I'll buy regardless.. That's how much faith I've still got in you guys.. However I won't lie when I say that I miss the Wiimote and to some part more traditional controllers. I've secretly been hoping for a super enhanced Wiimote like controller for the NX.
How many mins a day? Lol.. Pretty sure these numbers are on the low side. Hopefully a few updates / patches will add more features and eliminate the loading screens every so often.
Also 40k a day sounds pretty abysmal for Nintendo's first ever Smartphone App / Game!
Come on Nintendo! Advertising! Advertising! Advertising! If Game of War can get Mariah Carey & Kate Upton you sure as heck better land me Scarlett Johansson.
Sorry but this is totally crap if true.. Link is a dude ffs.. Instead of emasculating an iconic character they should instead let us play as Zelda as an option.
The feminist agenda is ruining popular culture by being completely short-sighted .. If you want to give women the notion of empowerment create plots that will actually give them that feeling rather than "ooh ooh here's link now make him into a chick"
Also I'm worried that having NPCs fully voiced but not link will start to feel like any other game out there.. Instead give us a plot point as to WHY Link can't speak if you're going to go down that road! Was it a curse? Accident? Was he born like that?
I'm worried.. It honestly feels like it'll be both too little and too late.. Consumers don't have a whole lot of trust left in Nintendo to be able to create a home console worth investing in anymore..
I like Miyamoto, always have.. but this is nonsense. I don't think anyone views E3 as a US only event due to the digital age of not only today, but since before videogame websites became the norm via the news, magazines etc etc.
Nintendo were extremely light in what they had to show and announce, third parties have almost left the Wii U completely and Nintendo didn't exactly show / do much to win back any confidence from not only any potential consumers but its current user base.. E3 2016 has got to bring it big time.
They need to push this game HARD when they release it in the west.. Awakening had a decent sized marketing budget - they need to 1+ on that.
Very excited to play this.. Only thing missing thus far is the Fire Emblem theme - hopefully there's a new version of it for this game.. Is there an OST for the game yet?
@gatorboi352 I doubt they can unfortunately.. Their inability to act accordingly is fast alienating their loyal fan base.. I love Nintendo, sure, but as it currently stands I doubt I'll be buying their next home console..

I'd be pissed if it can't support HDR / 4K despite coming out waaaaay after the One S / PS4 Pro (pretty sure the PS4 Slim also supports HDR)
Re: Analysts Expect Nintendo NX Reveal by Early October and Make Bold Super Mario Run Predictions
Super stoked! However I'm dying at the same time as I own a Samsung Galaxy S7 edge! Hopefully it won't release too long after its debut on iOS..

Re: Nintendo Life Weekly: Zelda Wii U Rumours Point to Sex Choice in Playable Character
People are so short-sighted of the long-term implications of these daft touted rumours.. The feminist agenda is ruining popular culture..
Instead of emasculating Link why not have Zelda as a playable character ffs? If you want a strong female character then Zelda is the clear choice.

Re: Talking Point: The Mystery of Devil's Third and Its Drift Away from the Spotlight
It's as if Nintendo wants this title to fail 10 times harder than it already will.
