Hire this man only if he applies. Only if he applies. Otherwise, steal his idea and give him no credit. I am being completely serious. Also, don't ever acknowledge that he had done so. Completely serious.

@YANDMAN 2.5d? Is that really a thing or is it head canon? It's a side scroller presented in 3d. BTW, I bought OPT second hand for under 40. The way it should have been priced.

No. Sprite games are never worth 60 dollars. Metroid Dread is not a 2D game unless you're say all games are 2d games(flat screen tv). The price of $60 should be base on 3d models. I'm looking at Octopath Traveler and thinking it should be 40 and under.

What does this have to do with Nintendo?

@Heavyarms55
Actually, I kinda hate it. Like there's no charm or the charm has been sucked out and now they all look creepy.

@brunojenso Yeah, it's something you have to put up with. In general, the comment section should be treated like you're in an elevator. You're close by so you can hear one another and sometimes someone says something obscene. You just have to take it for what it is: an opinion. Who knows, maybe someone out there is reading what I wrote and thing just the opposite. Maybe Mario party really is better than I assumed it is.

@Ralek85 True, most of botw release date is due to switch release schedule and labo vs gow is not a true 1 on 1 comparison, but I would still believe that Nintendo is not wholly concerned with release schedule. One factor of that is the fact that most nintendo games are not like Sony games. In most cases when Nintendo and Sony both release near the same time, except of course multiplats, both companies are selling two different products. I don't have a list of tripA games release on the same time, but if there is, you would see differing demographics and genre of game. And if that's true, Nintendo wouldn't care what other companies are pushing out whatever time of the year.

@Zeargo "Although Nintendo throws out some nice surprises, now and than. Nothing great has been happening recently. E3 was a disappointment to me. Yeah they had Pokemon Let's Go and Super Mario Smash. But the Pokemon games just another port with some changes, which raised a lot of concerns for me. While Smash is just another Smash game (like other game series such Mario Kart etc.) to the latest console. Only worthwhile mention was Mario Party."

What!? 😂 Let's Go is at most a remake not port. Smash has everyone, which is also something huge for someone who actually plays the game. Pichu baby! Also, "Super Mario Smash", I don't think you play the game. You may have played it here and there, but really play the game. At least learn 6-7 characters.
And then Mario Party was the big e3 winner. Don't know if you're trolling, if you are, I apologize for my inability to see it.

@Ralek85 I'd agree with all you've said, except the fact that Nintendo is overtly concerned with timing release schedules against big games. Be it rdr2 or gow4, nintendo don't care. They put botw against Horizen. Hell, they put Labo against gow4.
Nintendo games have long legs and will sell their games at retail price as when it was released and will stick like that for years on years. Wii u games are still $60 today. They believe that good games will sell itself.

@Cobalt To be fair, Nintendo has pulled back the importance of E3 in the last 3 years. Seems to me they are happier controlling dates when they don't have to compete with other companies all in the same weeks. Directs are more personal and they have the option to release them without word. That's more interesting than blowing all they have in just one day, dividing it through the year is more practicle.

Nintendo games cast a huge shadow over third party titles is my explanation. They gave us Smash which would doubly tumble Nintendo's stock more severely than it already hasif it wasn't announced. A pokemon game that might just save PoGo and tide fan outcry for poke on Switch. And some other lesser nintendo ip. Maybe their idea is to release some of the third party games they announced last year without other massive games customers would have to save for along with smash and pokemon. This leaving games like wolfenstein seemingly viable for purchase because of lowered expectation of no more tripA titles. Right now nintendo wants third party to succeed more than any other generation. And because Nintendo knows you'll buy their tripA titles anyways, win win situation.
