2022 really is The Year of the Hedgehog.

@Axecon I mean, the designer for the two protags ARE known to create V-tubers

@victordamazio It's probably a Japanese thing. Better to ask for permission than forgiveness after all.

@HeadPirate So basically, Nintendo forced SWT to shut down because Nintendo wasn't certain that they could escape legal liability if anything went wrong? Considering the messy legal landscape of the Professional Smash community, I can't really blame them too much for being too careful.

@Thief I think they already have.

@F_Destroyer Ironic how the same design was used for the NES 2, which was RF only.

It's also no surprise he doesn't have a "Duke" Xbox controller. Those were never released in Japan.

@BongoBongo123 Chromebook? It's possible if you have a spare SD card and SD card reader. Look up "BannerBomb"

Wouldn't it be better if instead of buying all of A-B, they split it up into separate companies to only be a majority owner on the main ones?

Still waiting on Yo-Kai Watch 4...

As for why Genshin on the Switch is MIA, I'm going to say that the two main reasons are as followed;

1: Genshin is built on Unity, which while easy to port to many systems, good luck on optimizing it! If the PS4 has trouble running it at times, heaven forbid the Switch would have a good time with it!
2: Sony and/or Tencent is stonewalling the port for as long as possible. Sony has invested heavily into the game, with them helping MiHoYo (HoyoVerse) to make a native port for the PS5 and allowing the developers to put Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn into the game as a free character. Meanwhile, Tencent has massive grudge against MiHoYo for turning down an offer to buy them. With the sucess of Honkai and Genshin, it's possible they are using their influence with Nintendo (Since they partnered to help release the Switch in Mainline China) to keep the game off the platform. (Last one is a bit tinfoiled hat of mine, but I feel like that's what's happening.)

@victordamazio I think it's sort of a nod to Pac-Man World 3, as that ghost comes back to help Pac-Man.

I'm 100% certain that by this time next year, Persona sales will be over double what they are now. Who knew that releasing games on different platforms would actually make you money?

@Seacliff Ehhh... Personally, I think most Sonic games have sold over a million, but unlike Nintendo, Sega usually stops counting.

@AX-7 Sonic Dash 1 and 2 for starters.

The article fails to mention that Puyo Puyo has quite a number of light novels, with some being fanslated into English. Puyo has a quite a deep lore for a puzzle game.

@vinicity So wait. This is a game... Made IN a game?

@Cronodoug That's kind of ironic, considering how Chris was originally planned to be in the First Sonic Movie as Tom.

@NovaPrime It's his church or rather, his former church that gets people angry about him.

@Royalblues Can't really blame you. I mean, the main character was designed by someone who makes V-Tubers.

@AstraeaV Not on Switch it will!

@Cia Clearly you're new to Sonic. Identify crises have been in the series since the Dreamcast days, if not the Mega Drive/Genesis.

Insert Indiana Jones gif here

To be quite honest, I think it's best to open it, but try to keep it intact. The envelope is MUCH rarer than the magazine, so even if the issue inside is toast, it can be easily replaced. As for which museum to give it to, why not Nintendo themselves? (Assuming they don't have a copy of Nintendo Power #1 sealed in their archives)

@ModdedInkling My guess is that they are too far along with this and can't easily stop it. Sunk costs, basically. They sold their western cattle for a couple of beans that are most likely not magical.

@Rob3008 It doesn't matter how plot-heavy it is, the fact you're being spoiled is an annoyance at any point.

Two Point Studios is NOT an indie studio. They were when they released Two Point Hospital, but they were bought by Sega of Europe in 2019. I am surprised how nearly 70% of the playerbase are on Switch, considering how much it pushes the Switch's processes to their breaking point and how easily it crashes at times. At least TPS is working on fixing the foundation of the game before adding more expansions to it; which judging by TPH's DLCs is going to be many and feature rich.

As someone who 36 starred the game on Steam, it feels much easier than Hospital because of one thing; Summer Break. Not only do a number of your students leave because they graduated, but it also allows the students and staff to rest and take care of their needs, making them happier. This safety valve is welcome, but I do wish for a challenge without it. Maybe in a future update.

@Crono1973 Nearly all companies know, there's a reason it has a name. The "Osborne Effect"

I think the best idea could be to have a new dock with a bit of extra processing power to help out on games that need a bit more power to them. Not a full system, but like an extra RAM or a co-GPU to help games run better on full screen. Of course, that does run into issues of how seemless the Switch dock is, eaily could cause glitches at best and crashes/corruptions at worst.

Actually, wouldn't Yoshi be first anyways? Super Mario World came out in 1990/91, while Kirby's Dream Land came out in 92.

It's a shame that no one saw read the second part of my comment. I offered a suggestion on how to make things better, yet you guys dunk on me for a Mario & Luigi reference.

My point is, Nintendo needs to drop their current contractor since its causing harm to not only real life people, but also the family friendly nature of Nintendo's brand and even name. I just hope NoJ actually allows the changes to happen.

Look Doug, I know I shouldn't judge you on your name, but even the real Bowser cared more about his own minions. This is more PR than HR to me. Also, wasn't some of the problem employees were/are part of HR? Clean up before you show off; end your relationship with Aston Carter.

I feel like there some plot holes that need to be filled if they plan to fit in Gerald Robotnik. Isn't Robotnik meant to be an orphan? Also, a major question I have is what IS Dr Robotnik's first name? Is it Ivo? If it isn't, that could be a way to write in a different person without needing to recast Carrey.

@Sebos Ahhhh! That helps out a lot. So it was really bad luck than lazyness it seems.

@FawfulDX Bowser in the M&L is different from the mainline Mario games. Heck, even Paper Mario Bowser knows who Luigi is.

@aznable It's not that uncommon. Many games for the PS1 used soundtracks that could be mistaken for 16-bit platforms.

@NintendoEternity Because all three console makers have banned ALL AO games from being on their platform, period.

It's even more surprising considering how close Sega was to becoming like Atari; a name being passed around like a old fur coat at a Goodwill. Sega was surprisingly lucky, even in it's many, MANY missteps from the mid 90's to the merger with Sammy in 2004.

I have my doubts for a Mario Minecraft pack. We already had one and that's still locked to the Switch (and Wii U) versions.

@TowaHerschel7 But at least we get a mobile game with NFTs in them

...Kill me.

@Bobb Not unless it has NFTs in them.

Why yes, I AM still bitter, why do you ask?

@JohnnyC Ooooh! BURN!

@BloodNinja It's more than just lazy parents. Kids are more likely to fall into gambling addictions than adults. It's the same reason why real casinos don't allow any minors under their roofs.

@zap-switch You weren't softlocked. That was one of Eggman's speed traps!

@steventonysmith Because Nintendo doesn't want you to play mobile games, they want you to play games on the Switch.

@HeadPirate Good luck finding anyone who works at Nintendo that is willing to spill the beans. They've got secrets locked up tighter than the Disney vault in Fort Knox.

@Silly_G 80 Days is basically Around the World in 80 Days, but with a big heaping of steampunk. While your first playthough is a bit railroaded (heh), Once you play it again, the world really opens up. Want to meet Captain Nemo? Go to the moon on the Columbiad? Take a trip to the center of the Earth? All of these routes are in the game! Personal favorite route is going to Agra and riding the Taj Mahal (Yes, I said RIDING) across India like an Elephant.

As for the gameplay, it's about time and money management, balancing the two along with the ticking clock. Buying and selling knicknacks is the best way to make cash on your travels, but keep mind of how much you can hold on one from of transport.

@Bizzyb And yet they didn't care enough for Kingdom Hearts.

@RupeeClock Clearly they didn't pay attention to the cutscenes.

All I want is Yokai Watch 4. Is that too much to ask?

Could Nintendo at least say what they ARE OK with? A written list would go a long way for making things clearing on what they approve and disapprove of. (After that, THEN we can nudge them to the 21st century.)

@BishopShiozawa Wait, Aether has a voice actor? /hj

I do have a question. Will there be a music toggle for Sonic CD between the US and EU/JAP soundtrack, like it was with the 2011 Remake?
