@HotGoomba Virtual Girls AND Boys.

@Bobb One of the many downsides of Unity. Could also be that MiHoYo is already juggling five different ports at the same time and adding a sixth wouldn't be possible with a major patch happening every 6 weeks or so.

@SwitchVogel There's actually a cloud version of the game in the Mainland Chinese server, so once it starts rolling out to the International servers, I think we MIGHT see the Switch port be converted to a cloud version.

@Jbuggydroid Not just when its running, but also the game itself. And it's still growing in size as well.

@HammerGalladeBro Care to explain why?

There are a number of reasons why Genshin isn't on the Switch. Performance aside, I think Sony made a deal with MiHoYo just after the Switch announcement for the game to be PlayStation Console (Mobile and PC aside) exclusive. Sony does do a whole lot of advertising for the game, so that must of been part of the deal, in exchange for Aloy being in the game. I also have a tinfoil conspiracy that Tencent is also leaning on Nintendo not to have the game on the Switch. Short version is that MiHoYo rejected a buyout of the company by Tencent and it's success really pissed them off because of how much Genshin has made, SO FAR. Meanwhile, Tencent is helping Nintendo sell a region-exclusive Switch on the market in Mainland China. So it's tempting to think that Tencent is throwing another wrench into the lack of updates on the status of the Genshin Switch port.

Do any of the characters meet one another like in Octopath? Just curious.

The Switch gameplay was shown off in the newest Direct... Hoo boy, is it janky.

@PLATINUM7 ...That's what I said.

@WalesInteractive Er... What?

@nesrocks Good luck playing it legally in the copyright limbo its in.

@KevTastic84 You know of grinding in an RPG? Think of doing that but for "actual" money.

@Fizza I'm going to give Sega the benefit of a doubt for this. The trademark they filed might just for them to prevent anyone trying to use their brand name in any project. I'm thinking more in the legal area than in the commercial.

Let's be honest, we're never going to see a Arcade Archive of Ms Pac-Man. Giving free money to another company for doing nothing is something B-N is never going to keep doing.

I REALLY want someone to make an FMV game were there's an option to have a Sega/Mega CD mode just for the fun of it. Complete with 1X load wait times.

One last thing that people seem to forget. You can buy a company without needing to buy the whole of it. I can see Nintendo buying like 25% or 30% of a company to keep it afloat and keep it close in its orbit, but them going all Pac-Man like Microsoft and Sony are doing is as likely as a Yo-Kai Watch 4 English release.

@Yomogi Plus, Nintendo already has a good majority percentage share in multiple of companies (HAL, Intelligent Systems, etc.) along with Japan's very strict foreigner buyout laws means that Nintendo doesn't have to worry about any corporate raiders trying to yoink Kirby or Fire Emblem away.

Another reason why Nintendo doesn't buy developers is because usually those whose names people throw around that Nintendo could buy also have ties with other entertainment industries. Sega for example also owns more anime studio TMS. Nintendo is one of the very few video game companies that ONLY does Video Games.

Though if they were to buy someone out, I would place bets on MercuryStream or Level 5.

@Krysus Like the update says, the ones making the games have tried to push back on the idea, only for the big wigs to do it anyways. Seen this before with Neopets. Killing the brand just for a quick few bucks.

@OFFICIALMichi Long story short, the bank account servers can do many more transactions with the same amount of energy that one block-chain can do.

Too little, too late. Maybe if he did his research ahead of time and didn't sign up, he would be still liked. Good luck finding a gig that doesn't have other voice actors give you the stinkeye for burning your career in one go.

@BCMT My guess is that Nintendo rather have people play Tetris 99?

@Specter_of-the_OLED I don't think they (Two Point Studios) is willing to do an amusement park simulator. Sure, they made Theme Park, but let's be real, no one plays Theme Park. They play Roller Coaster Tycoon 1,2, or 3 (Or Planet Coaster)

@Specter_of-the_OLED To be fair, I think the management change to Iwata allowed Nintendo to accept some emulators after 2002.

@SeantheDon29 I don't think it's fair to compare the two. Third Party Emulators are more focused on playing as many games as possible, while Nintendo wants their games to work near 1:1 as their Original release. Thing is, this is Nintendo we're talking about, they try to re-invent the wheel more often than one might like. They've been using multiple different emulators from different parts of the company.

@MarioBrickLayer I don't think they can buy Sega. Sega is already part of SegaSammy, which does much more than games. And as we seen, Microsoft goes for the whole company, not just one part. Them buying Sega is about as likely as them being up all of Warner Brothers.

@DTFaux Ubisoft as well, but I get your point.

@Zuljaras As seen with RAID Shadow Legends.

Nice. Though I doubt any of these games will be added to the NSO SNES collection. This sounds more like an Evercade type of deal. Either way, it's better these games are given a re-release than sitting in whatever vault they have been in since the turn of the millennium.

@Magician Not actually from Kemco. It's from Rideon Japan.

Also, 35 dollars is a rip off.

@link3710 Wouldn't be surprised if that did happen soon.

@dumedum Yup. Much better controls and performance.

Yea, I think it's time for Nintendo to step in and stop with the insane price changes.

A little bit of extra RAM would of helped the Switch in the later years. That's what the real bottleneck of the hardware is.

AEIOU, John Madden. AEIOU.

@HeadPirate Other than coding wizardary, I would say that the cart might have some extra chips inside to do some of the heavy lifting. Kind of like the Super FX or SA1 on the SNES.

@Crono1973 Hype. That's all it is.

@Specter_of-the_OLED Actually, it's not the chip that's the problem, it's the cartage port. The NES has a lock and key system where the cart communicates with a chip in both the cart and the system. Over the years of use, the pins in the console bend leading to a bad connection where the console can't see the cart's chip, thus forcing the console to keep resetting, causing the blinking red light.

@moodycat Ehhh. I would skip on Civ VI. Terrible support on Switch ever since the Rise & Fall and Gathering Storm DLC dropped. I would recommend Citizens Unite.

@River3636 Oy! Don't be dissing Eden Industries with the publisher!

@aznable As someone who actually likes Rideon's games, that's actually one of their weaker titles. Go with Marenian Tavern instead.

WE ARE PIKMIN! HEAR US MOO!

@HotGoomba WE ARE PIKMIN! HEAR US MOO!

@nitrolink
A: I doubt it takes that many resources to develop for, so I think Niantic will keep it alive for much longer.
B: I think Nintendo may fund the game to keep Niantic to keep it afloat as long as possible
C: Pikmin's creator isn't transphoic (I hope to ANY GODS THAT ARE LISTENING that Miyamoto isn't.) so there's less people turned off by the politics of the creator.

@OnlyItsMeReid You don't actually "play" it. It's more of an app than a game. As for the amount of time played, If Baircade played since the North American Launch for at least one hour a day, it would add up to 55 hours. That's just the time in the foreground, could be much longer if you include background time.

Monty on the Run anybody?

Where's Guru Larry when you need him?

I do wonder if you can play as Ms Chalice in regular Cuphead if you buy this DLC.

@HammerGalladeBro Knuckles' isn't an anti-hero. That's more like Shadow and what not. Knuckles' is more of a red oni to Sonic's blue oni.

@Hydra_Spectre Actually, Paws Inc is under Nickelodeon's branch, so it closer than one may think.

@Specter_of-the_OLED

A: He has. Had Re-runs of Garfield and Friends in the 90's and maybe 2000's.
B: Nickelodeon now owns Paws Inc (Garfield's parent company) for a few years now.

@AstroTheGamosian What I feel Nintendo does lack in is with how many minor IPs are dormant. If they're able to give their biggest IPs to other studios, why not some of their older and smaller ones? Give Ice Climbers or Clu Clu Land to someone and see if they can pull a Kid Icarus Uprising with them.

@WallyWest God, I hope so. Either the guy is a kid and is too young to deal with different opinions or has the mental capacity of a kid. Leaning towards the latter.

@mariopartyfan68

Good thing Japan doesn't have GameStops. I would pity those who work there if they existed.

Maybe it's a good thing that Madden is not on the Switch...

@MsJubilee

@NotGeno MAMA MIA!
