I think the real perpetrator is Sakurai, he paid this guy to throw a crab. Why? Because the next DLC character will be the iconic headcrab from Half-Life. This pretty much confirms Half-Life 3 for Switch.
@rex_rex How would those costumes work with Peach floating through the air though? It already looks questionable with the dress. I mean what on earth, just because you wear a dress doesn't mean you can defy gravity!!?
But I wholeheartedly agree with new alternates >>> mii costumes
Those Mega Man skins were nice though. I wouldn't mind those back.
I REALLY want Capcom to also make a Miles Edgeworth investigations HD collection. Those games deserve a bigger audience!
Also I wouldn't mind Ace Attorney 4,5,6 done in the same style as this. Wasn't a big fan of the 3d anyway. But I guess some people would see it as a downgrade...
Very likely to be the official render. I doubt Best Buy randomly pulled this render from the internet. It also fits right in with existing renders and he has the right posture to fit in this frame and the roster:
These events don't really speed up the progress of collecting spirits. They are indeed pretty useless. I collected all 1303/1303 spirits because I'm a completionist. Besides those numbers at the top there's no reward whatsoever. The game doesn't even give you a secret 1304th spirit or something... Something would've been nice...
@Aneira Sorry yesterday is too long ago to remember! I'm just excited to see news about Nitrome. You almost never see appreciation for this awesome studio. I guess I'm hoping to meet fellow fans who know Nitrome since the flash days.
Nitrome games are my childhood! As a child the only system I could play games on was a PC, this was before the DS era. Nitrome was the best free to play gaming website at that time. Besides that I played some emulated Nintendo games like Super Mario World........
I thought Nitrome was pretty much dead besides mobile games! Never thought I'd see the day that Nitrome releases a physical game for Nintendo Switch! I will buy this even if it's just for nostalgia
Nope not quite as good as Lost in Thoughts (Fates) or Heritors of Arcadia (Echoes) The techno sounds do not fit this series. This sounds like a standard Anime intro. Nope nope nope
@Plainclothes_Man I really like the english Lost in Thoughts lyrics!

Undertale was really nice, but I kinda feel like it was a one-trick pony. Maybe that's just me? Deltarune didn't click with me, I stopped playing it pretty early.
Not completely unrelated: I really ought to try EarthBound someday
@RupeeClock You can still get to 9.9 after using a classic ticket (intensity doesn't go down and it can still go up), it makes the task a lot easier. I think you can even use multiple tickets and still reach 9.9.
@impurekind That fix is a lot better than the one in the article. They shouldn't have removed the parts that make sonic so iconic. I think the movie one looks a bit too kiddie, like winnie the pooh or something xD Even though he has the body of a full grown man, yuck...
This game is crazy. It's definitely the best 2D platformer from recent years.
Regardless I'm not sure if I'll double dip if it ever comes to switch. I don't feel like putting myself through literal hell again to finish the game xD
That's not really how I would potray Ridley. He's basically a mix of xenomorph and pteranodon, that's what he should look like. Still looks awesome though.
Nope, they work differently than EX. They evolve like regular stage 1 & 2 Pokémon (look at the symbol and text at the upper left corner) The thing they have in common with EX is that your opponent takes 2 prize cards when a GX has been knocked out, also stronger attacks and better HP.
The earliest ex generation also had to be evolved. Also let's not forget the Mega-EX Pokémon.
There are some work arounds, like the Rare Candy item which let's you put a stage 2 on a basic Pokémon.
@Luffymcduck That is what it means (and it still counts as a stage 2 Pokémon when in play) A nice 1-of in decks with fast builds. Not really something to build a deck around since you could end up with multiple in your hand, not very reliable.
Neither one of these cards seem too amazing. Some recent GX cards are extremely overpowered.
@Madder128 A new Pokémon or Animal Crossing trailer would do a better job at that, they are the real system sellers. Though personally I'm equally as excited for Prime 4. Switch's future is looking very bright!
You may think that the employees ought to prevail~ And be tucked some place all safe and sound~ Yasha Haddaji captured and rotting in jail~ His harassment nowhere around~

Re: Gallery: All Of Joker's Smash Ultimate Alternate Costumes, Kirby Hat And Mii Outfits
You know Kirby has had a gun since Super Smash Bros 64 if you count Fox's blaster.
So what if Snake doesn't have a handgun. He still has a badass arsenal.
Re: Random: Check Out The Retirement Gift Geoff Keighley Gave Reggie Fils-Aimé
Oh man, this is stunning! Sam Spratt should also make one starring Sakurai! PLEASE?
Other Nintendo legens like Iwata and Shigeru would also work

Re: Cuphead Won't Be Any Easier On Nintendo Switch
Nabbit for Cuphead!!!
Re: Cuphead's Creator Would Be "More Than Pleased" To Let Him Appear In Super Smash Bros.
Oh, I would love to have Cuphead in Smash! (and Mugman as his alternate)
But I don't see it happening either. Though popular, It's only one game. The franchise has to grow bigger to be eligible.
Re: Japanese Charts: Smash Ultimate Is Now Less Than 10,000 Copies Away From Outselling Splatoon 2
Splatoon is the better game in my opinion
I've played both over 200 hours and I can conclude that:
Both these games need major improvements in their online system...
