@Mijzelffan I disagree I prefer the second item slot, as staying in first place was wayyyy to hard without it. Too many times I was in first place only to accumulate a gold coin, while the person behind me got a red shell.

@Xaessya THIS is the real problem. If you think this guy is the only one with a collection, you're mistaken. I can't stand when items are released in scarcity and people hog them all.

@gokev13 Yeah but that wasn't the general consensus haha.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE I don't think that's an accurate point to make, considering Nintendo decided to shut it down themselves. Who knows it might have been considered one of the greatest games of all time, likewise it might have been worse then the most recent Starfox. I understand being excited or neutral about it, but being dissapointed about a game we know zippy zap about meh.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Fill me in on why people would be shocked in a bad way that a game never before released is being released?

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Correction they are making 3 of them.

@wiggleronacid Nintendo sold 11.4 million of them in 2011, that was six years ago. How exactly does the Switch have a larger audience?

Strange amount of weekend articles this week, I like it!

@Fath Ahhhh now I understand

@Fath "But I'll respect your position on that" Respect? What is that word? I do not believe what ever you are describing exists on the internet

@ThanosReXXX Ok thanks for the insight into the industry.

@Fath I don't think any situation you mentioned crosses the line whatsoever. Playing a game and going to watch a movie are two totally different things. You can't get close to the same experience playing the game as you can watching a movie. In AM2R's case you arguably can.

@ThanosReXXX You mentioned what doesn't break the rules, but you didn't mention exactly what does break them? Is it the one choice of using character skins that makes it illegal?

@MegaVel91 Thanks I've been watching too many shows with talk of patents lately haha, I mixed the two up.

@nhSnork Yeah man people are investing themselves wayyyyyy too much into these games. It's comparable to telling a director or producer how they need to make their sequel, or second season of a show. In my mind their decisions got me to like the game in the first place, so what need is their to question them? And like I said since I'm not emotionally invested in these games, I couldn't careless if they take it in a direction I hate. It's just one game I no longer like, time to move on case closed.

@GameOtaku That would be because either

A: Nintendo really doesn't care about it, and it's not affecting their sales

B: They have a private deal with Nintendo

C: They just haven't been sued yet

@GameOtaku The line is drawn when you make something that could affect their sales in whatever area. If you make and sell a Mario shirt and that affects their apparel sales, you'll be sued for using their character's likeness. Art doesn't affect their sales because they have no "art" sales. So it's really nothing but free advertisement.

As for my coffee example just pretend Starbucks is the only company that sells coffee in the world.

@GameOtaku Again not the same because it provides competition. Why buy the 3DS game when I can play this free game on my computer no less. It's like a makeshift coffee stand outside Starbucks. If that stand can get pretty close to the quality found in starbucks, do you not think people would rather get a free coffee rather than pay? And does that not affect Starbuck's sales since all those people were going to buy from them, but chose the free option?

@GameOtaku If you sell them you're using someone else's creations to make you money. If you don't it's basically free advertisement for Nintendo, so why cut it off?

@GameOtaku I mean again what competition does not put up against Nintendo? Nintendo doesn't sell fiction novels, so someone else creating fiction novels doesn't take away any potential sales.

@GameOtaku
I would guess because Nintendo does not sell Mario art, so there's nothing to compete against. And even if someone on Devianart did decide to sell Nintendo themed art, they would be sued to obvlivion.

@westman98 Notice how he says those games are just a "little" aspect of their 2018 lineup.

@GameOtaku Yeah that's true, but we're talking about Nintendo here. They very rarely slip up and create an absolutely terrible game when it comes to long-running IP's. Of course, the Metroid games you mentioned were pretty bad, but those were spin-offs.

@ap0001 What I would prefer is someone making their own game and selling it rather than copying another. I get the mindset behind taking inspiration from past games and practicing your skills by recreating them. But this guy is obviously talented, so why not branch out and try something new?

@GameOtaku Call me crazy but I personally prefer letting Devs do what they want with the IP THEY created. If I don't like what they do I just won't buy it, if I do like it i'll purchase it. But I would rather have them enjoy what they make and let it be what they want instead of forcing my wants and needs on them.

@Bolt_Strike A commercial product is product that can make money. Could this make money if they decided to put it behind a pay wall? Yes, it could so it qualifies as a CP even if you don't sell it.

@GameOtaku Ok but the problem is fans coming along. One fan comes along makes a game, people get hyped over the game, Nintendo makes a different kind of game, people riot.

Which is why he talked about deciding the direction games go in. If you let fans dictate what gets made you lose your creative input. Which likely will resort in less effort, as well as creativity put into the game.

@GameOtaku (Not trying to hound you, I just haven't been on NL all day and I am really hungry for discussion.)

They probably don't because they have no reason to. Nintendo's stock is higher than it ever was during the Wii years. Sega on the other hand, was basically a meme in the gaming community up until this year. Nintendo could say "we can make the game far better than you ever could". Sega has had a history of being outdone by fan-made games, which is just a really bad look for a company.

@Seacliff I don't think you know what a commercial product is. A commercial product is something that "can be sold". It doesn't matter if it is sold, all that matters is if it can be sold.

PS. In the world we live in today, I think it's fair to say him saying "because we don't want to" would be met with some serious backlash.

@GameOtaku The same way all companies with trademarks lose money when someone else makes their product and gives it away for free.

I think the points he made about "driving the direction" the game goes in is pretty fair. And I'm really excited to see what happens with the AC app.

@Henmii Did you miss the part where it says the Switch is the fastest selling console of Nintendo's history? Yes, the games are also selling pretty well, but I would say the console is wanted as well.

It's not really that impressive this commonly happens with DS cards, as I see @Aerona has also mentioned.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE This is a prime example of why you don't make mobile games into console games 9/10 times.

@Henmii I don't know is it? http://time.com/4739562/nintendo-switch-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-launch-sales/

I think the most interesting aspect of the article is

"but Miele dismissed the notion that EA's Switch support is hampered by the hardware's limited horsepower."

So what exactly is up with support?

@ACK I believe this is the first time ever someone has been able to shut him up.

@gatorboi352 Except one is making a claim based off the analyzation of a demo version of the game. And one is "confirmed" directly from the Design director of the game. But yeah you're right no difference...............

@gatorboi352 The question is have you played the PS4 Pro? The pro or Xbox One are both not capable of doing so. They will either run at 1080P 30FPS or 900 60FPS for major AAA games. As for the Scorpio: http://www.ign.com/articles/2017/06/14/e3-2017-bungie-confirms-destiny-2-is-30-fps-on-xbox-one-x

@gatorboi352 Except every other console on the market can't run AAA games at 1080p 60p 🤔

@Yasaal The problem with you arguement is that you seem to be saying the Switch, Xbox one, and Ps4 are equal. And we all know they aren't so why would you expect Nintendo to do better with less resources? Nintendo doesn't care about graphics it cares about gameplay, that's been established for awhile now. And if you don't like it Nintendo just isn't for you, as I honestly don't see them changing it up. Especially since the Switch could be a mega hit with stock.

Meh I honestly doubt the Rez won't be bumped. Unless there is some hidden performance intensive additions to the game. With that being said a steady performance seems to be a loss art nowadays. Happy to see Nintendo do what it does best.

@KirbyTheVampire Not to call you out but I don't understand why people were expecting Smash or AC. This year's lineup is full of games, and we still need first party support that can create hype next year. Smash and AC are the logical solutions for the problem of a second year drought.

@VENOMVSCARNAGE Ehhhh I don't think it's really that patronizing. I can see my friends moving out of the way right when I go for a jump causing me to die haha. It could provide some laughs.

@LinkSword Huh thanks for that

@LinkSword if you're able to speak it, can you translate the post?

Co-op gameplay that I've heard they confirmed might make this a buy.

@rjejr You might have to stage the death of your switch my friend haha.

@SonicSpeedX I don't think so. It's versatile and provides a really good experience. As well as the fact it's a much better deal than the basic Wii u which also was $300

@SonicSpeedX "More interest in the Switch"

You can't find a Switch anywhere, I don't think interest is the problem right now.

@rjejr Terraria was announced for the Switch months ago.
