my globe trotting is limited to the occasional conferences and lectures about every other year, I'm hoping to be invited to a conference in Brussels, October Next year, maybe I can stop by and we can toss back a pint and shoot the breeze, maybe spar for fun LOL

@ThanosReXXX
I was having fun about the stereotype comment my friend

the video was a bet on my birthday, if I could not beat Terry in a Doctor Who trivia contest, I had to make a very humiliating video and post it on my FB page, if I won, Terry had to walk around campus wearing nothing but Kool Whip and a Speedo carrying a sign that said "Sweet Treat"
and the mini mohawk was my normal look for ma y years untill about 3 years ago when I just evened it up the make one of the new council members happy

I fight for mainly the stress relief, but the money I have my daughter bet on me helps out with some bills too

you seem like an awesome guy and got a good deal in common, hope we can be good buds

Ummm Liam, I don't mean to come off like a prick, but could you have even tried to google or maybe even call or email the company rep on a coment about the other two games, even an official "No Comment" would have been better than Bayonetta 3 which is old news and "take a guess"

Jesus man, I am sick and tired of the so called "reporters" here either making up irrelevant pieces just to fill in some blank spots here on NL and/or just relaying what some other game sites say without doing any followup work and/or just plain missing and incomplete info
what usually happens is the readers end up filling in the blanks, but those blanks shouldn't have been there in the first place

give me the contact info to your editor or whoever you work under, I'll work for free, just to show you guys how it's really done

@ThanosReXXX
my career does not mean I am your stereotypical, long scraggly haired, stuffy shirt
and yes, I do fight, and game, and am a hard core Star Wars Guru AND Trekkie (I know, a mortal sin in most countries), I trained under Ki Soo Jung for 20 years in Aurora CO, U.S. and......
well, let this tell you the rest
me about 10 years ago on a bet from my students

remember, stereotypes hurt too
Oh, Grazie for the belated welcome bro

@ThanosReXXX
Ohhhh Thank God me and my wife aren't the only ones who loved GL !!!

How is your opinion of Kilowog ???

I admit I would've rather seen a John Stewart GL, personally, but I liked this one too

would it have not been easier just to make a flashcart ???

plus, how is it ok for NL writers to brag about hacking consoles for the purpose of illegally loading ROMs onto it, but the rest of us get hard core 8itched at by mods when we talk about hacking and methods ???
hell, this article even mentioned the person's name, and sure as hell no mention of not being approving
yet another hypocritical rule ???

I'm JUUUUUUST Sayin'

I'm going to make a HUGE assumtion, by saying
people probably would rather have the original 24, and a more playable format, like a handheld, than 48 that you can't play worth a damn

unit $150
HDMI cord $10
wired NEOGEO controller $33

$193 to make it playable......
Aye Don't Thank So Yo !!!

@Anti-Matter
"Not Eternal. Someday it will decomposed / destroyed by itself."

they may just be games to you......
but to others, not so much, those games took creativity, tallent and innovation, it may be digital, but in really is no different from any other literature or art or any other medium of knowledge and/or entertainment

they were also "owned" by someone at some point, but it was those who appreciated those things that kept them from degrading and decomposing into oblivion

@diablo2
"If i hear 'Metroidvania' one more time......"

LOL !!!
AMEN to that bro !!!

@SomeBitTripFan
Nemodius was the name of my great grandfather in Greece, he nicknamed me "Nemo" when I was a little bitty, I was always very shy and spent most of my time toiling over experiments and inventions and rarely associated with people or family, he said in ancient Latin, the word "nemo" means "No One", I was his invisible little friend, always there, but never seen, I liked it, so I kept the nickname even now, but it has had no infuence on my love for the cephalopod: octopodiformes, that pure love was long before my nickname, so no jokes

it's cute, Metroid meets Pokemon with a turn based RPG style
worth watching but gotta go with @googles789 on this, no cart, no go

@NerdyBoutKirby
I think the reiteration of the couple's marital status was also a paft of the fluff
it looks bad enough when one person running a "black market" business, but a team of a married couple....
(no offense ladies) but stereotypically women are an incredible oddity when it comes to "crime on this magnitude", so a married couple makes the situation seem even worse and so the fake success of the taking down of a major crime syndicate looks MAGNIFICENT in the eyes of the business world and day to day consumers

but as I mentioned before, in post #131
it's all an illusion for the benefit of those who don't even involve themselves with such activities

@SomeBitTripFan
Im not entirely certain?
unless that symbol looks like an 8 legged cephalopod,
why bro ???

It's not a very long game, and it's simplicity.....
my youngest daughter loves her P.C. version, I MAY be convinced if it was no more than $20 on a physical cartridge

@SomeBitTripFan
LOL it wasn't an insult bro, LOL

@SomeBitTripFan
well, i don't feel so bad now hoping people won't think me the only long winded talker in here

@goggles789
you do realize the same hackers that have been dumping ROMs from the carts have also been copying and recompiling DLC games for Switch since the begining also right ???
hard or soft, it is a software file to hackers, so assuming digital downloads are more secure is pretty ignorant

give it 2 more years and flashcarts will flood the market and people will no longer need to use hardware hacking dongles

as for more difficult finding roms, most people just go to torrent sites for new and older games anyway, not rom sites, rom sites have not just the same chance of corrupted and infected files as torrent sites, but most rom sites implant their own hidden ware when you accept cookies, so i prefer torrents anyway, but in my defense, I only have ROMs and ISOs of games i had legally paid for and Modded/fan titular roms, so I'm not stealing profits from no one, so i am guilt free as far as I'm concerned

@tetrapod
You are absolutely right, it was an "ATTEMPT" at a show of power

I say "Attempted" because in ULTRA-UBER Reality, it ONLY "Projected" an "Appearance" of power to other software companies and consumers and people who don't download anyway like those here posting how happy they are at Nintendo's success,, but it was NOT the kind of success they think

but the ULTRA-UBER Reality remains that Nintendo's "Show of Power" was like an 8 year old child wearing a Macho Man Randy Savage Halloween suit, it looks good, but nothing else
Power gives you the ability to effect the outcomes of things
but the Piracy Community KNOW AS FACT that Macho Man Randy Savage "Show of Power" is just paint and fluff, it will not intimidate, or make anyone pause or reconsider and will have neither any long OR short term effect effect whatsoever

it was a Theatrical Performance, anyone not going to the theater is not affected by it, in my new catch phrase "ULTRA-UBER Reality" it was ONLY a Business Politics move and nothing else, it makes them look good, stocks may nibble up a little for a couple months, system and game sales might increase too, but the Piracy Community is laughing it off
and if some of the comments on this very page suggest, it may have actually had the OPPOSITE EFFECT, several people have mentioned having or going to be bulk downloading everything they can get their hands on while they can probably for the next two weeks, that will eventually level back off to normal when the paranoia subsides and downloaders realize their resources will not go under

many of you supporters of no copyright infringement activities may not like what I said, but that doesn't change the fact,
it was a magic show to impress those who want to be impressed, but as convincing as the magic seems....
it's still just an elaborate illusion, not an effect

@Anti-Matter
well, it happens
I won't necessarily endorse regular ROMs, but "Modded" ROMs and fan made Titular games i do
may be considered the same as "copywrite infringement", but as I figure, those original game companies are not losing any money from games that don't "officially" exist and the makers of Modded and FMGs don't charge money, so NO ONE LOSES, so i have no problem with those

@Mrtoad
never said that, just saying it's like trying to swim UP Niagara Falls wearing cinder block boots

making stronger security is nothing more than a dare,
thousands of hackers and electronics hobbyists to do the impossible, and they do it, dump roms/iso, crack firmwares, bypass this and that, it can't be undone

@FiveDigitLP
Classic Bond fan.....I am respectin' !!!

@ajackson5888 @onery
LOL Awesome Jax AND Onery, Grazie !!!

where there is a will, there's a way, companies keeeeeeep tryin' to stop it, but no matter what, there will always be a demand and there will always be a hundred who will fill that demand
cut of one head, two more pop up

it says "Almost", anybody got an editor ??? ( @TheVision Can you help me bro ???)
I'm betting this is one of those that DON'T "Sync"

well, let's see, buy $1,100 in jewelry
pay 10% sales tax ($110)
get Switch
wait a month, take Jewellery Back
keep Switch
$330 - $110 = a $220 Switch
Mega Man 11 ($33) + any $66 game = $319 (after tax) still save $11
I'm Sold

uhg....I have no idea why, but the more I keep watching the trailer about small "Pocket Monsters", it makes me think of giant ones coming late 2019, I hate waiting !!!

I keep reiterating it is just "Opinion", you're the one who keeps on, you drop it, I already have

@Freelance
LOL, just havin' LOL !!!

@Freelance
would you will my youngest daughters your Switch and games before you go running into traffic to be killed ???

@KayFiOS
never mind, it wasn't like that, and it wasn't against you, and had nothing to do with race, had to do with changing from what it was originally which many people seem to be superfluous about and changed to suit a more western audience,
it wasn't race, but if that's where you want to go
anyway, I'm dropping it

@Yoshinator
hey, I'm not innocent when it comes to occasionally jumping to a conclusion, LOL
I consider myself an overly open minded person, comes with my line of work, but occasionally I jump the gun too

it's all about fun though right ???

@Yoshinator
don't get me wrong, I agree, very nice looking, and as for opinion, of course, I was just seeing a lot of people complaining that it's not real enough if they are going to change it, but then I hear it's too much and made me snicker.

just funnin' ya bro

@RadicalThe_Tay
Hey, sometimes you need to take a step back to go two steps forward, I like that they made a good in between, too CGI toony and it wouldn't have been considered "Just Another Boring Pokemon Movie", as for too big Industrial Light and Magic super real, yah, probably would have been laughed at, this happy Muppets thing kind of works, but no matter what, you just can't make some people happy

@KayFiOS
yah, whining about Pikachu's accent, seriously, hmm......I understand those who are all for "Purity", he's not the only one who's got a problem, apparently, many people do, but notice the hypocriticalness that he said nothing about them changing the little Asian boy to Caucasian in game or African American in this movie ???

@Yoshinator "Charizard Too Real"
would you like some cheese with your "Whine" ???

@LetsGoSwitch
Uhmmm.....giant fire dragon, what were you expecting ???
come up to you, roar loadly while blowing 5,000deg flames, then suddenly grab you, lift you up and.....

"I will love you, and hug you, and squeeze you and call you Fluffy !!!"

@MoonKnight7
I have a feeling you are not as much of a minority as some here would want us to believe

@Megal0maniac
an excellent actor does not mean the right actor for a part, of course, in reality, it's all personal preference, but for me as much as I love Danny, every since seeing him and Doc Brown on Taxi way back when, but NOT for Pikachu, again, opinion

Love Ben Afleck, great actor, same with George Clooney, both of them were good Bruce Wayne, but SUCKED as Batman

but again, it's all to each his/her own

Now Meowth was obviously moddeled after Gilbert Gottfried, (in the shows and movies - voice and persona) so it would only be right to have Gil do Meowth !!!
but again "Opinion"

@Tempestryke
did i not Clearly enough and repetitively enought reiterate my "OPINION" had NOTHING TO DO WITH ABILITIES, JUST HIS APPEARANCE BEING TOO SIMILAR TO LINK or "Link"-ish being my EXACT WORD !!!
and also REPEATEDLY say it was an "O.P.I.N.I.O.N."
no need to go overboard trying to defend poor Isaac yo !!!
(also an "OPINION")

@Locke159
I admitted I am worried about Reynolds as Pikachu, but Danny Devito ???
love the guy, but I'm really havin' a hard time with that

@ItsOKToBeOK
LOL !!! DAMN, YOU RIGHT MAN, HOLY CRAP !!!
Meowth had to have been based on Gilbert, it's not just the voice, it's the behavior, body language, everything, LOL, Damn, how could I have not seen it before ???

@DenDen
Amen, they look "realized", but not distorted or altered or messed up, in fact, they look perfect, almost like they took the original frames from the shows and just added textures, I love the look

too bad not everyone so open to the new look

@SlowPokemon
opinions will obviously vary and only way to find out is watch it

@wolvesboy
well, FUDGE !!!
Ok, what actor has a strong south Bronx Jewish accent could pull off a good Meowth ???

anyone ???

@link3710
the sfx definitely looked pretty cool
frankly, Charizard almost looks betters than the dragon in the Monster Hunter trailers, LOL
(opinion)

If Meowth isn't in this movie (with the original voice actor), I'm gonna be pissed, looks good though, I'll go see it with my 12 daughter for sure

now honestly, I like Ryan Reynolds, he plays some cool characters, but his acting style is very limited, you can change the appearance, but everything I have ever seen him in, he is ALWAYS that careless and flirtatious wise ass and am having trouble imagining him as what everyone has come to think of a Pikachu persona all these decades from games, movies and shows

I hope they don't mess this up

@Damo
hey Damien, any numbers on actual the output size ???

@nocdaes
the "idea" is nice, especially for a person like myself who has to shoot around everywhere and doesn't have much room for stuff but loves the ability to big screen my gaming also, the idea is good, but I'm not going to shell out $200 for a device that is not bright and makes a 2' x 3.5' screen 15' away, might as well just keep it in handheld mode, the screen would appear the same size but look crisper and brighter

of they can increase the output brightness and size to 5' x 7.5 @ 10' away, I'm sold

@Cicero
good question, Bluetooth adapter lag for audio (for me) would not be a big deal, but a video delay for a live gaming system could be detrimental, glad you brought that up

@Damo
also, I wonder what is the maximum (USEFUL) size it can project before becoming ugly ???
it's awfully small and doesn't seem like either have a powerful light and not much of a focal range

I am and have always all about the ability to pack up and take as much with you as possible, and as cool an idea these seem like, even i think this is a bit much

I think the only real saving grace is that it can be used for other things with a USB-C connector, still.......
(just my opinion)
