After looking at the video thumbnail, I thought the trailer would be somewhat creepy, which it wasn't. I still think it would be better as an animated movie however.
I love indie games and I even used to be an indie dev myself and would like to get into it again eventually. However, I despise the Wii and casual games. That's why I'm done buying new Nintendo systems and instead going to play retro, mobile, and PC games only, unless I'm convinced the next Nintendo system will be more like my beloved GCN and not like Wii, Wii U, or Switch.
I've always thought it would be a good idea to have cross-platform play for the classic games between Switch, PC, and Mobile with the online subscription.
I would really like to play through Kanto again as FireRed was my first Pokemon game (unless Colosseum counts), but I don't want to buy this game if it's going to make stupid motion control mandatory. I might get it once it's available used, but I don't want to support it.
I always thought it would be cool if someone did a Guitar Hero/Rock Band style rhythm game, except with chiptune music (using the songs of actual chiptune artists). Maybe I should make one myself.
FireRed was my first Pokemon game, and I'd love to play through Kanto again. If it weren't for stupid motion control, I would actually be looking forward to this game.
@ThanosReXXX Also, I'm willing to bet at least 2 million people chose a PS2 or Xbox over a GameCube for the sole reason of the DVD player. If GCN had one, I think it would have at least outsold the Xbox.
My top ten favorites: 1. VVVVVV 2. Mutant Mudds 3. PilotWings Resort 4. Pokemon X/Y 5. Super Mario 3D Land 6. Pokemon ORAS 7. Retro City Rampage 8. Sonic Lost World 9. Pokemon Sun/Moon 10. Animal Crossing: New Leaf
@Fight_Teza_Fight Lets Go is in the Pokemon franchise, so it will sell very well, but I doubt it will be the Pokemon Go players that are the ones buying it, rather the ones who were already Pokemon fans to begin with. Unfortunately, Nintendo will falsely interpret the high sales of Lets Go to mean the strategy of appealing to typical mobile/casual gamers works.
For people who have played both South Park games: Should I play through all of TFBW DLC before I get Stick of Truth, or play through Stick of Truth and then go back and get all the TFBW DLC.
Here's an idea, Nintendo says they want the 3DS to continue as a "training wheels" system to the Switch, but by 2020, that probably won't still be able to continue. For the first year or two of the next gen consoles, most games will probably be dual releases between current and next gen consoles, so the Switch will probably still be able to run at least a handful of them like it does now. Then, in 2021 or 2022, Nintendo can release a Switch successor early, when that is no longer the case. Nintendo would then continue to support the original Switch as the new "training wheels" device at a lower price.
@EightBitMan Well, "heavily downgraded ports" are still a big step up from the Wii U which had almost zero third party support, and from the Wii which had lots of third party support, but 90% of it was fitness games and minigame collections.
I hate the Wii. While the Wii U and now Switch are far from perfect replacements, I don't miss the Wii one bit, and if all future Nintendo consoles will be based on it, time for me to find a new hobby.
Not sure whether I'll get this or not. The WarioWare series is very underrated and unique, and in fact, Touched is probably my favorite game on the DS. It looks like almost all of the microgames on this game were also on an old game though.
Also, why does Nintendo always wait until the very end of a console's run to release the most experimental titles? That was part of the problem Conker's BFD had, as with Drill Dozer on the GBA. Now, they waited until everyone will be done with their 3DS for a while to release a new title in a series which hasn't had a new game in 8 years.
@Zuljaras
Honestly, I think I will give up on video games completely and find a new passion/hobby if I have to accept that. If Wii will be the basis for all future Nintendo consoles....the gaming world simply isn't the one I used to know and love when I had my GCN as a kid.
I guess this officially means no Wolfenstein Youngbloods on Switch, which I'm kind of disappointed by. This game should be good for the Switch though too.
What should happen is once MS/Sony release their next consoles, Nintendo would release an upgraded Switch, similar to what they did with GBC/DSi/New 3DS, which would be more powerful than PS4 Pro/Xbox One X, but not as powerful as the new consoles. And they would continue to market the original Switch at a lower price and could run only handheld quality games.
But we all know that all Nintendo ever does is make bad business decisions, so they will probably try to release another handheld alongside the original Switch.
Booooooo. @HobbitGamer "Hey, It was fun enough for 9.5 million people the first time." Sure, 9.5 million people who most likely play nothing besides mobile and PC games now.
"Reach a non-gaming audience" With competition from mobile games, there is no way any non-gamer would buy a console of any kind, no matter how cheap they can make it. That's like trying to sell a Beyonce or Taylor Swift album exclusively on vinyl.
