Well, video game studios (EA, Ubisoft) and stockholders what did we learn about microtransaction and live services games? "Layoffs fix everything".... It's like talking to a wall.
I saw my life flash before my eyes in the trailer... I need to stop playing video games, staying up late, drinking Mountain Dew, Eating chips, and Taco Bell...
Here's the problem with Nintendo being Nintendo. Every knows Nintendo to be wacky and out of their minds when it comes to releasing consoles. The issue is when they do something out of the norm either it's TOO gimmicky and leads 3rd parties running away after the first 2 years. Plus, in some cases the gimmicky sacrifices process power leading to even more devs running. When Nintendo decides to play it safe you have the Nintendo faithful from different generations cry it's not weird enough. I tend to be in the camp of "they finally allow my purchases to transfer so I don't have to rebuy games." April is still a long way out and who knows there might be an attachment that allows you to feel the psychic thoughts of Mario and the need to jump on everything he sees.
Right on I'm glad of the reveal...with that said. You have these self-entitled generation who says it not enough. "THEY NEEDED GAMEPLAY! THEY NEEDED TO BE MORE WACKY LIKE IN THE PAST!" To them I say get a life. It will get here when it gets here.
Yeah, I saw this with Tetris the other day...then DOOM popped up because my coworker told me about it. Still crazy to think what you are able to accomplish with a file.
Forever Entertainment ... really? really Nintendo? You could have gotten like Saber or Panic Button? I'm glad the Retro Name isn't on this BAD BAD BAD BAD PORT.
The race is on to break the news first on the new console. Its funny because sites like this live on the traffic and ads. Concrete, solid and accurate information is lost because of it. But I guess this is the world we live in.
@StewdaMegaManNerd It is real time. You allowed to move freely and escape whenever you want. Just like in the first xenoblade or if you play phantasy star online. There is an auto attack as you move around the enemy. Then you have arts or moves that have a cool down. They have different effects depending on the art.
I bought the game recently because it was really really really really really really really really cheap...with that being said the start of the game is very slow and very chatty...did not like that. I wonder if that is what to expect going forward.
Damn straight its more than a pretty picture. Such a good side scroller and pretty damn good gameplay. I need this on my Switch right now...may when 2 comes out.
It looks like I played 106 games totaling 444 hours played. 3 top games were the usual XC, Vampire Survivors, and Metroid Prime. Interesting some newer games didn't make the list.
cool...I guess I personally think it should have gone to that card game. Astro Bot while kinda fun is not Mario or Jak and Daxter. Because the game is built on ads for other games. I'm not saying Nintendo doesn't do this but at least they are classy with their nods to their other titles. Plus, the music to introduce the games felt off...but that is personal tastes considering in the past we had mario/zelda/metroid in the mix for goty.
Another click article but I clicked, right? Micromanaging sucks I left a job because of it. BUT it is their IP and we as Nintendo fans enjoy that "Nintendo Polish."
Mass Chaos is what is going on at Nintendo as they struggle to keep up with theme parks, movies, toys, and clocks. They wanted Disney money not knowing what it meant. Now they are struggling to put games on the table. I'm starving over here.
@WhensDinner Plus, Nintendo focus on smaller style less expensive games is paying dividends. SONY/Microsoft expensive first party focus is starting to show its age and unsustainable.
Microsoft can't stay committed to anything unless it's a huge success especially for hardware. They only real reason they still have hardware in the console space is that they need to survive until all their games are ready to be cross platform. Once that is done, they will jump ship. Sony maybe but if their VR headset is anything to go by, they can't juggle another piece of hardware.
