Considering the timeframe of when the Switch 2 will launch, I would put some chips down on Mihoyo/Hoyoverse throwing it's weight on the system. I'm thinking of a parallel to June 2017 where the Switch got a boost with Fortnite launching on the Switch.

Assuming Sony doesn't have some sort of console exclusivity rights, a triple play of Zenless Zone Zero, Honkai Star Rail, AND Genshin Impact could get a good amount of players from those games to jump into the Nintendo ecosystem.

I have a hunch that Nintendo of America is still scarred from when SSBU was leaked a week early because of a Mexican retailer breaking street date. Thus because of this, whenever a retailer like Amazon or Walmart ships a game before a street date, they have to take action against them for shipping it early. My guess why it's happening now is send the message before the Switch 2 is announced to say "Play by OUR rules or you're not getting as many consoles as insert other retailer"

It's a shame, but at least they were able to close down on their own terms instead of being smited from above.

I was reading the title way too fast and thought it said "Homestar". That's a crossover that I think no one would see coming.

Five years later; people want both games to be on the same platform. Oh how times changed....

I still wonder why Fortnite is bending over backwards on this. Can't they just point at the ESRB rating of Teen and call it a day?

@DiamondJim You and me both....

@RupeeClock Speaking of, WHERE the heck IS Wario Land 4? Or even 1 & 2.

IT'S HAPPY HOUR!

@Mana_Knight I feel like if she didn't voice Tails at the mid-credits scene in the first movie, they would of cast someone else.

@NinjaNicky I mean, he WAS the Grinch in 1999. So it fits his character.

@Greatluigi If this is the case, that's one joke that's funnier in hindsight.

...You sure this isn't three days late?

@GarlicGuzzler I think it's QA for Nintendo published games, not games submitted to the Eshop.

I have a feeling that Rovio helped soften the blow a bit. Without the Angry Birds money printer (Not as high as King or Hoyoverse, but still a money printer) I would figure Sega might of killed Relic and even Creative Assembly as well.

@Zeebor15 You're a bit mixed up. Relic made Company of War. (And Age of Empires 4). Creative Assembly is the one making Total War games.

@mystman12 Username checks out.

Bloons is Kiwi made? Today I learned.

Going to buck the trend and go with Neopets. Especially considering they're doing a whole event with their 25th later this year.

Maybe you shouldn't of asked for money for your emulator. Plain and simple.

Woah. That's all I can say.

@Zeebor15 To be fair, they know quite a number of people who got the pink slip as of late. Embracer has a lot of things, but little to show. EA has their sports games, Activision (Before they got nommed by Xbox) had Call of Duty, Ubisoft has Assassin's creed and so on. The company is also kind of new in the gaming space. Sure the studios that make (or have made) it up existed for some time, but the umbrella is only a decade or so old. It's also a general annoyance that whenever a company faces tough hardship, they NEVER try to cut the wages of those who got them into the mess in the first place.

@Coolmusic I have to disagree. Mania is one of those lightning in a bottle type of games, even if it was made again with the same team. The other universe would be complaining how dispite how good it was, it's more of the same.

@PipeGuy64Bit Arzest is basically a studio that makes "meh" games as a whole. Balan aside because Naka was the one who really caused it to go from "meh" to "What the hell was he thinking?!"

@Laxeybobby They did have it. But it was removed after the publishers cried to Nintendo that they were getting bullied.

Please. I ask for one thing. Yokai Watch 4 in English. PLEASE.

@Mario500 Short for "If you know, you know."

Now I'm wondering if they are either planning to get a PG-13 rating or try to avoid it.

Knuckles has a hat 10/10.

Haven't played Fortnite. Still won't. Unless they add the Club Penguin dance, then MAYBE.

@Zeebor15 The irony of that is thick enough to be a wafiu.

Reminder that Gary Bowser was hit with this fee because he was the only one of the pirate group that could be arrested. (Watch Moon Channel's video on it for more detail)

@HammerGalladeBro Maybe they could add some of the stages from the 3DS version to this version too?

@martynstuff So how long until the Social Media pages make fun of the name?

@Kyloctopus To be fair, they ARE trying to drum up hype for the 3rd Sonic movie.

Going to say that it's POSSIBLE Nintendo and TPC have a case on copyright infringement, but I'm guessing they rather have this fizzle out than get the suits involved. Then again, they have a case against DeviantArt recolors, so...

Let's be honest. AI or not, this game is going to be killed off in a year's time.

@Sisilly_G Or try to get a REAL Popeye game on the Switch. No shovelware nonsense.

Personally, I would of liked it if they split off Mario/Luigi's voice from Wario's. Not saying his Wario voice is bad, but it doesn't seem to fit as well compared to how nearly seamless the transition from Charles to Kevin for the Mario Bros were.

@PrettyPatrick I mean, there is a game that is called "YEAH! YOU WANT 'THOSE GAMES,' RIGHT? SO HERE YOU GO! NOW, LET'S SEE YOU CLEAR THEM!" which takes the piss on those fake mobile game ads. So....

@Astral-Grain Nah, it's 1:1. You have your point.

@Astral-Grain It's more of a "WE GET IT." type of thing. Plus, TBH, he's the one who starts it.

I REALLY don't want this to be Yo-Kai Watch 5. I'm also not sure if it's a new IP, Level-5 is currently giving the series an anniversary roll-out for it's 10th. My guess its a side-game like how Busters/Blasters was. Still, I wish that Level-5 were more transparent (heh) about their plans for the series

(Look, all I want is either the English version of Yo-kai Watch 4 or a remake/port of 2. Hell, I would actually be happy if they canceled the English version of 4, I'm tired of coping)

@Tyranexx That and timing. Nearly all the momentum of the series hit the wall HARD in 2016. Pokemon's 20th (Which included Gen 7 AND Pokemon Go)

@UltimateOtaku91 This is like, the third or fourth time?

@Otherboard Agreed. This feels much to similar of how they tried to make Yo-kai Watch an international IP but the ball stopped rolling.

@HankScorpio After all, The World Ends With You.

And um, get a Switch stylus.

I feel like this port shouldn't have existed in the first place. Would of saved everyone the trouble.

I will only accept something like a "Super Game" if it's like Sagaga.

@AtlanteanMan Is Camelot of today the same Camelot in the 90's and early 2000's? As in the people who made Shining Force and Golden Sun still at the company, working on Mario Sports games?

It's also baffling how Dave the Diver was nominated despite it having the backing of a multi-million dollar company because it "looked indie". Also, Cocoon was actually NOT the developers' first game, thus giving it "Best Debut Indie Game" cheapened the award.

Disclaimer: Yes, I AM a Pizza Tower fan. I'm actually in the credits under my real name, so I do have some beef with the awards being stolen. I'm annoyed that at the start Geoff highlighted "Tour de Pizza" in the audience as if he KNEW that Pizza Tower wasn't going to win the award.

...So there IS a chance...

@algernonramone I just hope Phil is open to the idea.
