NintenGuy

Astro's Playroom does what Nintendont.

@AllBLK Those guys calling people idiots for believing the credible and very accurate leaks will be very quite now. So that's a plus.

@Edu23XWiiU imagine ignoring all of the sources on the wiki that the pulled quotes are cited from and attempting to move the goal post in a weak attempt at a bad faith argument. Imagine flip-flopping your numbers & dates when you get called out on blatant lies. Imagine complaining about me using ign as a source and then yourself using ign as a source that completely contradicts your own argument. Imagine having to resort to insults & name calling when you don't have a leg to stand on in a debate. That's how everyone knows you lost. Toxic fanboyism has no place in the gaming community. Do better & be better if you can. 😆✌️

@Xenoblade-Fan you realize Astro Bot jumped back into the top 10 in the US & UK after the game awards win right? So what's the disconnect? Looks like it brought more attention to Astro and people went out and bought it.

@Edu23XWiiU These comments & level of Fandom are toxic to the community. You don't have to hate on things to make you feel better about the stuff you like.

@Edu23XWiiU did you say the same when Breath of the Wild won? Nintendo must have paid huh? The hate in your heart will prevent you from even trying great games like Astro Bot. That's really sad.

@DaniPooo Oh no offense taken. I like hearing all opinions. It's what keeps communities honest.

@tsim21 The only rage I see is in your comment. Tells alot about you. 🤭

@DaniPooo I dont doubt that you've seen those remarks. A small online minority doesn't speak for the masses though.

@Edu23XWiiU You are woefully misinformed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_2
"By 31 March 2012, over 155 million PlayStation 2 units were sold worldwide"
"Discontinued Worldwide Jan 4 2013"
https://sonyinteractive.com/en/our-company/business-data-sales/

As I previously said, Sony last reported PS2 sales numbers in March (31th) 2012. They were at over 155 million at that point. They stopped PS2 production in Jan 2023. Nearly a year later. Also IGN reported that PS2 sold over 160 Million months ago. Jim revealed it on a Podcast. Some people just started raging & playing mental gymnastics when Sony finally confirmed it a few weeks ago.

https://www.ign.com/articles/playstation-boss-jim-ryan-reveals-ps2-sold-160-million-units-worldwide

"On 29 March 2024, Jim Ryan (CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment) stated on the Official PlayStation Podcast that the PlayStation 2 had sold over 160 million units worldwide. This statement was not corroborated by Sony directly until nearly eight months later, with this figure appearing on the PlayStation 30th Anniversary website on 26 November 2024"

So Edu23XWiiU if you're going to make bold statements bring receipts. Looks like your info came from out of someone's behind. Lol!

Honest question. Did you just make up that info to push some odd Sony hate narrative because you want Nintendo to "win" or are you just repeating bad info you got from some echo chamber forum? It's clear you didn't even do the simplest bit of research.

@DaniPooo Yeah I'll do me and save my money. Also we all know how console compatibility work. Thanks for the reminder I suppose... Lol!

The pre-emptive cope is hilarious from some people online. They will never accept it if the switch doesn't pass PS2. Lol!

@kevinm360 by your 3DS numbers thats a 50% drop off from the DS's 154 million. That's not good. Considering 3DS launched at $350 and they had to slash the price to $160 within months. They never recovered. They did well, but that huge drop off from the DS to 3DS along with Wii U's failure is literally why they consolidated there console & handheld divisions. That's how we got the Switch.

@VoidofLight True. The share button was probably the least used thing on Switch. I'm just thinking of a way to take that to another level. It would need a forward facing camera for that to work. I see livestreaming is so big now especially to the younger crowd.

I understand. I know a few people got enjoyment out of it. I think most people are just tired of useless gimmicks. There is a reason they were canned.

@Edu23XWiiU What makes you think those numbers are made up? The last time Sony reported PS2 sales before this year were in
March 2012 (155 mil). They still produced PS2's for a year after that. They were only $99 at that point too. People also ignore that IGN had PS2 sales at 159 million way before old man Jim made the 160 million announcement.

@Burning_Spear ok cool. I understand.

@rjejr Mario is due for a new 3D entry. Would be a nice suprise. I didn't get a Switch at launch because I could just play Zelda on my Wii U. When Mario Odyssey came out my ears perked up and I went and got one.

@VoidofLight Oh those. Lol! I was happy when they were removed. Street pass was a novel gimmick that people eventually turned off to save battery life & Miiverse quickly turned into a toxic echo chamber. The best part of the Switch was that it focused purely on games. I hope those lame gimmicks stay in the past.

Probably more social media & streaming integration. I can see a camera/live dedicated button. Kinda like on PS. Since that's so big now a day. It would make more of an impact with a portable.

I liked the Sonic movies way more than Mario. The acting, humor and mix of real actors made them a lot of fun to watch. Jim carry is perfect as Eggman. Jean Ralphio as Sonic is too good. Watching the Mario Movie in theaters was the worst experience I ever had at the movies. A bunch of 30-40 year olds that just wouldn't shut up. I could bearly hear anything. I did see it when It came on Netflix and it was a solid movie. Just didn't have the heart that Sonic did.

@VoidofLight the leaks tell you about the specs. I can't post them, but you can easily find them & apparently the leaker is a trusted source. I have Switch games I haven't even opened and will not rush out to buy a incremental upgrade. I actually respect that they are taking the NES to SNES approach. Just stronger, refined and not forcing any more lame gimmicks. Plus still no D-pad is crazy.

Looks like I'll be passing on a Switch 2 at launch. Doesn't seem too different if all the leaked info & images are true

Easy pass. Not wasting money on emulation collections that could be way more robust.

@Burning_Spear did you say that the PS4 & PS5 have sold 100 million between them? PS4 sold 117 mil & PS5 is at 65 mil. I know this is Nintendolife, but at least try to be honest.

I'll play this on PS5 for sure. It'll be down the line when it's cheaper.

The hypocrisy & flip flopping the die-hards of this community have been showing this generation is so sad to see. Its good to see a few people are being honest about these situations.

I'll buy it pre-owned...

@Serpenterror Did you not read the article?

There is 11 frames of input lag... absolute trash.

@YusseiWarrior3000 What argument? I destroyed your comment with facts. Simple as that. Vivox isn't native to the Switch hardware. Hench why all but 5 or so games have to use the app for voice chat. Try harder next time chief.

@InkIdols I actually respect people that voice their issues or b****, b****, b**** like you say. Way more than the ones that worship companies and just bend over an take it. That's the bah, bah, bah sheep mentality.

@YusseiWarrior3000 The Switch doesn't have voice chat. Your Phone used for the app has voice chat. LOL! Fail!

@bigheadwillie I haven't paid more than $30 for PS plus in over 5 years.

Tetris Effect (PS4) looks fantastic on my 65 in OLED TV. I'd imagine it would look great on the revised Switch, just on a smaller scale. I can't justify buying one though. I'm not a portable gamer anymore.

Nice! I'm going to check the video out.

@CharlieGirl I got my PS4 copy day one from amazon. The PS4 version did have a wide release. The LRG version just had foil cover to go with the Limited Soundtrack vinyl record they released. Which I have too.

I'll stick to playing in VR. Good that it reaches more people. It's easily the best Tetris game released in the last 5 years.

@YusseiWarrior3000 Don't let people's opinions on video games bother you so much. It's not a good look.

@YusseiWarrior3000 It's Hot Trash. Sorry that upsets you.

@YusseiWarrior3000 Eh yes. More people agree with me than you. Try harder next time.

That is absolute trash. Easy Pass.

I'll pick up the PS5 version. Should be $33 in store at wal mart. This is sitting at a 81 metacritic. I'm curious on where it stabilizes.

Good to hear! I can finally retire my Gamecube copies of SMB 1 & 2. I hope this remake is technically sound. I'll be picking it up on PS5.

I had fun with Kirby Star Allies. I picked it up used for $35 though. Looks like I'll wait to get this one used too.

Looking forward to dusting off my Switch and Pro controller to play this. I haven't played anything for a significant amount of time since Age of Calamity. I need to finish Tales of Arise in the next two weeks so I can play Dread start to finish with no interruptions.

That's a hard pass.

@TheGrizMan Indeed sir. Indeed

That trailer was rough...

@Darkyoshi98 Metroid Dread will be $50 at Walmart. No maybe about it. Lol! I buy all of my games based on walmart in store prices. Best Buy & Gamestop both price match WM if you have credit there to spend. Amazon has been matching too. I haven't paid $60 for a switch game in a couple of years.

@Xiovanni
Are they really that sweaty?

@TheGrizMan
The guys you replied to roboshort & Solomon Rambling were talking about getting the game if it reviewed well as a whole. Did you even read that? Nintendo life isn't the only place people get reviews from. You gave a blanket statement that it was "reviewing well". A 69 score aggregated from multiple sources isn't reviewing well. It may go up or plummet more in the coming days. Who knows. They have the right to wait on scores to determine if they want to purchase. Why does that bother you?

I personally buy games based on what I think its worth to me. I'll pick this up when it's $20 in a few months. Metroid Dread is worth the $50 at launch to me.

@TheGrizMan
69 metacritic is reviewing well?

@Heavyarms55
Said like a true fanboy. Smh...
