Nintendoforlife

@tanookisuit And what exactly is your response to those who wanted to download Rocket League aka the second most bought game on the Eshop aka a digital only game.

@JHDK Yeah I'm with you, it's nowhere close to the ideal greeting for newcomers. But again when you have sites such as Steam crash during their mega sales, it's hard to believe Nintendo could have outclassed them. In steam's case they have the benefit of choosing the date the sale goes live, where as Nintnedo has to plan for a date they are not in control of. Either way I doubt this will have any affect on how the newcomers view Nintendo, especially considering people expect this to happen when they open and set up their kid's Switch a day ahead of time. A month from now people won't even remember this happened.

@JHDK To be fair the way you worded your post does warrant those responses. The keyword here is "managed" which implies they somehow were able to mess up a seemingly simple task. But in reality this happens literally everywhere digital shopping takes place. So this isn't a situation that's standing out from the norm of the industry, nor will it have any impact moving forward.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE I heard it takes awhile to unlock those characters, so I wouldn't bet on using them quickly without grinding.

@JaxonH If anything atleast we have a comparable game in DOOM to atleast have some sort of expectations. Rather than just going in blindly with new Devs.

We'll miss you Thomas! Thanks for the dedication and detail you put into your work!

Apparently, the Devs are TERRIBLE in terms of supporting their games. So I'll take a hard pass on this one.

@rjejr Nope Gator is still around this was from 5 days ago:

"Glad Nintendo's brand is relevant again, even if it's in a capacity that doesn't necessarily resonate with me. Have been in (temporary) possession of a Switch the last month or so and it's pretty cool I guess. Odyssey is nice, even if it's made me want to revisit 3D World and Galaxy 2 instead. Still have no desire to go out and buy one for myself though.
"Speaking of PS4, Sony's console has hit the 5.5 million unit marker in Japan. The system has been available since February 2014, while the Switch doesn't even have a full year under its belt yet. At this rate, Switch's Japanese install base could overtake PS4's in 2018."
I find this kind of stuff just silly. You can't compare Switch to PS4/XB1 when things are in favor for Switch, yet turn around and say "well, Switch is just a portable" when things are not in favor of Switch. It's either a direct competitor to those consoles or it's not."

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Finally! Welcome to the fun side bro!

@JoyconGang Correct this will be 40$ actually, the same as the Street Fighter released earlier this year................

@Rika_Yoshitake Why do you have to beg to give an answer?

@gatorboi352 Do you see yourself upgrading to the S anytime soon? Or is that more of a ehhhhh I don't really need it scenario.

@Rafx There is some info here from the team that helped port it over: https://twitter.com/Blind_Squirrel_/status/938512589868421121

@fungusar Thanks for the correction, I'm shocked to see a game of this level of quality come from an indie. I guess it goes to show indies are capable of making first person games of extreme quality.

More Indie third party support, it's nice to see more filler that will eliminate any possible droughts. I also just noticed we have a new staff member here, so I have to say welcome @Dom to the community!

"WWE 2K18"

Everything else seems decent enough for the week. I'm interested in seeing the response to floor kids in particular.

@gatorboi352 Welcome to the fun side

@Savino Yeah that's clear since he has the highest selling system in Nintendo history to his name..........oh wait.

@Rhaoulos @khululy

@Deathwalka This is not EA this is 2k, two competing companies.

@QwertyQwerty Yeah I get your point, but saying "thanks 2K for also allowing us to play this crap game" is depressing haha. They got it right with NBA2k, but what's the point of all the WWE features if the game barely runs.

@QwertyQwerty From everything I've seen the game is actually crap (Which is on par with past iterations of the game). 2K deserves zero props for this trainwreck of a release. If that's what people want, to each their own I guess.

@Muddy_4_Ever Can you give me an idea of what you might mean? Are you suggesting something like paid buffs?

@OorWullie @1UP_MARIO Yeah let's just end it there before someone gets offered a record deal.

@1UP_MARIO Yep, turned out to be a lame game, such a shame.

@Angelic_Lapras_King I think you can be confident a Launch Day trailer will be uploaded in due time.

@Supadav03 Glad to hear some parents are thinking ahead of time.

@Grandpa_Pixel It's honestly rather shocking after we got snubbed earlier this year. But this might be the start of a great partnership going forward.

You have to give it to Capcom, they came through with the goods. Continued third party support is always welcome!

@dimi "Nintendo is still milking the success of Wii"

Where have you been these last couple years?

This is the difference in culture between the Wii U and the Switch. With the Wii U this game may have been openly received by the player base. But with the Switch you see games like DOOM on the console and these type of games just feel empty.

@Thierry You're assuming they have the cash flow to support that.

@shani To be more exact they could run a deficit for 38 years before they went out of business as of 2014. How long could they last now with an extra 134 bil Yen.........

Nintendo still doing EA's job for them

@Paraka You misunderstood me. We will return that's correct, but right now we aren't thirsty anymore. When we feel like playing a platformer I'm sure a lot of people will pick it up. But after playing Odyysey some people just need a break from that gameplay. Nothing against this game in particular, it's just Nintendo got their game out first. Oh and it just happens the game Nintendo got out is in the running for GOTY haha.

@Switch_will_fail Nah it's biggest sin was not being able to run with ease on the most powerful console ever created.

@Paraka Imagine being thirsty and ordering lemonade from a stand. It's been 30 minutes and you're still waiting, so you walk across the street and get one from another stand. Will you want lemonade again in the future of course, but do you still want that lemonade from the first stand? Nope.

@Switch_will_fail You're the type of customer businesses LOVE to have.

@ShadJV More power to you haha. Once I 100% a game I never want to speak of it again.

@ShadJV It's really not worth it. You'll just get it, be giddy you have it on the Switch for 15 minutes, then realize "oh wait this is the game I already own"

@MrGawain I mean Skyrim is number 2 on the Eshop right now. That might just be based on the average age of people downloading games, but Marvel isn't even on the best seller list.

@BezBot This game would almost be completely impossible to beat online.

@StupidName64 In reality that will last for about 20 minutes before they are high above everyone else.

@Paraka What do you mean no more?

This is very very impressive! I guess I need to get back into Splatoon 2 again.

@Equinox It's almost like they also have an opinion...............

@JHDK Assuming he's allowed in the room outside of this video haha

@Ikana64 You can technically do 4 player split screen online actually.

And Super Mario Odyssey retakes the top spot as expected

@Nygiantz17 Considering this is already the prolonged version of the game..........
