@Don You just have to reach Nintendo Support by email or phone and ask them to relink your Nintendo Network ID to the new Wii U console you get.

Since the Wii U introduced the NNID, the purchases are linked to that account. Nintendo just needs to link the account to another console and that's it. Yeah, there's no way to do so without Nintendo's help.

I can play all the Xbox exclusives from a PC.

So, are the images in the article the PC version?

@Turbo857 They are talking about morph mode gameplay.

@Pete41608 I was talking about the recent incremented wages you mentioned (considering around USD$12 hourly), since I mentioned Switch as an example in my comment, not the 3DS.

This 65" Samsung TV in Amazon is usually USD$648. It seems like it's its standard price, not a discounted price, given it's been like that since the price dropped from USD$698 to USD$648 starting January 2022, and it hasn't increased since then.

And yes, it's a sold and sent by Amazon, new, not some guy selling their used TVs.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08Z25BH33/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_5XFHVW85QJ3CSXYBQPZY

Here's a screenshot if you can't enter Amazon by any reason: https://imgur.com/b69su5B

That's USD$648 between USD$12 hourly, 54 hours of work. Let's say 6 hours a day, that's 9 days of work. Add taxes, and you get around 10 or 11 days of work, 12-14 days in places with a LOT of taxes (14 days would be like 50% of taxes).

Now. Even talking on previous wages, or worse jobs wages, USD$7.25, that's no more than 20 days of 6 hours of work. USD$648 between USD$7.25 hourly are 90 hours of work, that's 15 days of 6 hours. With taxes, 16 to 20 days, give or take.

I'm talking about days of 6 hours of work. Of course not talking about straight days. My examples are assuming you get 30 hours of work a week. That would be 2 weeks of 5 days of work each.

Just for comparison's sake, a 48 hours week (6 days of work, 8 hours a day) in a Mexican McDonald's gets you around USD$75 (for the FULL week, NOT hourly, NOT per day). The MSRP of that same TV from before is still USD$980 in Mexico (and yes, in the Mexican Amazon, not some local stores that pump up prices). You would need 13 full weeks of 48 hours of work for getting the same TV here. That's 78 days of 8 hours of work. Or 104 days of 6 hours of work.

House pricing, hospitals and food are extremely expensive in USA. But electronics and entertainment? It's very, very, very cheap. And, well, yeah, we are talking about entertainment electronics here in the Nintendo related website.

@-wc- Minimum wage in my country nowadays is around USD$0.70 hourly. A person with minimum wage would save for a Switch (USD$300) in around 428 hours of work. That translates to 71 days of 6 hours of work.

Oh, but wait. MSRP here for the normal version of the Switch (not OLED) is the equivalent of USD$419. That means 598 hours of work instead of the 428 I said before.

Gaming is a luxury if you'll starve for getting the console fast, just avoid getting the console at all. Where I live, a lot of people can't get a Switch.

And if someone getting the minimum wage (USD$0.70 hourly) is lucky enough to get one is because they get credit and pay outrageous interest amounts, and end up paying up to USD$1,200 for the normal Switch edition after 1 year of paying the credit.

I myself earn USD$4.19 (four dollars) hourly as an Android developer. I know how hard it's to get a console. My point was that getting a few more bucks for people who already got USD$200 in less than a month isn't that much.

But if you got the USD$200 in 1 year, yeah, that's another story.

@CANOEberry I don't know where you got the "stupid" you repeated several times. Never said that word. Didn't even say "rich" in my comment.

I said gaming is a luxury. If you can't afford it, don't buy it. It's not a basic need for every human.

And I mean, you were already paying 200 bucks. What are 50 more?

If you live in a non-developed country, you'd need to work more than 200 hours just for getting the console. That is 33.3 full days of 6 hours each day. Meanwhile most people with normal jobs in USA could get it by working 5 days of 6 hours of work each day.

You said it. You can't "get all the games you want". But you afforded the console. That's something a lot of people earning (even nowadays in 2022) USD$0.50 per hour (in non-developed countries like several in South America) can't afford without starving or having to save for months so they can pay their bills. Obviously gaming isn't for non-developed countries, unless you are from a rich family living in said country, but still, it's way easier getting 50 extra bucks in USA, Canada or developed European countries if you already saved 200.

I mean. A teen McDonald's employee who is still living with their parents in USA could get a Switch in just a week of work (5 days). And a 65" Samsung TV in 10 days of work.

A teen McDonald's employee who is still living with their parents in Mexico could get a Switch in 30 days of work and a 65" Samsung TV in 65 days of work.

Never said "stupid" or "rich" in my first comment, not sure where you got that from. It's a fact that it's a lot easier getting luxury entertainment electronics in developed countries, even for people earning the minimum wages in said countries.

It's been hours and it still figures as Altus in the title.

Alright then. Elden Ring reference.

The fact that dropping the price by USD$50 helped the console is nonsense to me.

I mean. Back then around USD$8.5 being the minimum wage hourly. Just work around 30 hours and get the thing. You are already paying with 24 hours of your work, why not 6 more?

Remember gaming is a luxury, not a basic need.

Sad for countries where not even the ambassador program applied, and still got the console costing 2x or 3x its price. Where you needed 200 hours of work for paying it all.

But for USA and most of the European countries? What are 50 bucks?

I didn't know Atlus had an Evil Twin called Altus.

You learn something everyday.

Also, their game Mir Sigea: Slenitnes 31 looks great.

@ShadowofTwilight22 I thought it was already in (slow) development? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RX7RBcOEn78&ab_channel=Eurogamerspain

@icomma I think most of development for the games I like (Zelda, Mario, Kirby) is done in Japan.

I mean. This is a company. Company do a lot of wrong actions. But the other side is people working on the company. And people also do wrong. External people will judge who is the culprit here.

At least there doesn't seem to be worse accusations like those in Activision.

I don't know this person, but she doesn't look like she could act Zelda at all.

@GrailUK They comment it in the article and say it's not that likely.

@sketchturner Yeah, that's why I said if "you pre-order".

@AndyC_MK111 I mean. The Standard version contains the main games. Just Buy that and that's it, I guess.

All other things look like gimmicks or fanservice for me.

@sketchturner Pre-order the Deluxe versión and you get everything since the Start Dash Pack is included for free.

@Angelic_Lapras_King They should add it in the "extra" pack that contains N64, some Sega console games and the Animal Crossing and Mario Kart DLC.

But knowing their pricing ways, they'll add a "third extra pack" for only game boy games, and you should pay USD$50 more.

"Simple gameplay?"

This thing has button combos and special attacks that not even Age of Calamity has. (And I loved that Hyrule Warriors).

Not sure what you talk about that in the review, but everything else is on point.

I like the art style.

@Axecon It was simple fun. No hard button combos for performing attacks, just swing some game controllers like you'd do in real life sports.

While it certainly helped a lot for attracting casual gamers, it was a real blast just to boot up and play some bowling or tennis and stop sitting down in the couch.

@Not_Soos Since it's HDMI output in Switch, there's no risk of brick.

@Varkster I don't know who Adam is, so I didn't understand why everyone was saying this was a Xenoblade reference.

So you just ignored the r/fireemblem art.

Alright then.

It looks crazy.

@Aurumonado This Mickey Mouse style came back in 2013 with a series of shorts.

The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse was released un 2020. It's also a series of shorts, but newer. Also several 20 minute specials here and there

@RR529 I mean, it would make sense if it was instead a Mario x Yakuza series fanart.

@HammerGalladeBro The author of this article seems to be located in Australia. There should be around 3 p.m. of Marth 25th right now.

But yeah, I get what you say. 2 more hours to go for the 24th here in Mexico.

I wish they translated it to other languages.

@MostHandsieBoy Sure. That's how businesses work.

Are there people thinking game development was magic? I didn't know! You learn a thing or two everyday.

I loved the 3D-gameplay minigame for 3DS (Kirby's Blowout Blast). It sure was a good taste of future outings.

@Paraka So, like a cake or an ice cream set? Where can I get those?

To be fair, videogames are not something people need, just like the Pui Pui Molcar You got.

But it's funny to buy and play games and collectibles. So, nothing wrong with that.

@Browny I know personally a lot of people that feel attacked because of someone eating a banana the usual way (peel off and start eating without a spoon) because that's somehow (they think) a thing to do in private.

But I don't live in the USA or in an European country, so maybe there's not a lot of people like this around there.

@Chocobo_Shepherd People who get upset by the hidden themes in this movie are the same people that turn everything they see into a forced adult perspective because they want to outrage about everything. It's the same people that will scream if they see anyone eating a banana in public.

The movie is about a family that had an old god gift for the women in their family line to protect themselves by turning into big red pandas, but it's not convenient in the modern world anymore. So, "Turning Red" talks about turning into the big RED panda.

That's it. A little 5 year old that watches the movie catches this. Anyone saying it's not for kids under 10 because of the themes is crazy.

And well. If Turning Hard is about a family curse that turns males in a family line into statues, sure, why not? What would be wrong about it?

@StarPoint Being objective about the movie, a lot of people can agree the 3D animation used in the movie is top notch.

Story wise, yeah, not everyone's favorite, and that's alright.

@Degenerate_Mii They learned from the Wii U. After the Wara Wara Plaza, a feature not many people cared about, made the system very slow when loading the main menu, they did Switch UI as light as possible, removing any idea about Mii plazas or whatever that made loading the menu slow.

@anoyonmus It would be a good way to get people angry and for people to forget the game quickly. If they are saying that now, they will probably mantain the NO microtransactions after release.

@Rhaoulos It's all the working industries, not only gaming companies.

@VoidofLight Hellblade is an example of a game that didn't look "able to run on a Switch", but here we are. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMpgeTJYOkw&ab_channel=HandheldPlayers

Of course graphics would be heavily compromised, but it can be ported as successfully as other games like Doom Eternal, Hellblade or even a not so good port like The Witcher 3.

@SteamEngenius Lately, the Sony console has been the "family" console, given how much of censoring they've been requesting to their developers.

@MostHandsieBoy I mean, can't they be both? Anyway, they didn't say it's free for consumers, but only implied that consumers will be able to attend given the phrase "where creators and consumers alike can connect".

So, no mention of Serena?

@Coalescence Objectively, the Gamecube was more powerful, and graphically more capable than the PS2.

Just watch for videos of Resident Evil 4 comparisons.

What killed it was that a lot of developers didn't like the mini disc because it was hard for them to fit their games in 1.4GB. So they went with PS2. Resident Evil 4 is also an example of a two-disc Gamecube game.

Had Nintendo gone for standard DVD disc (4.7GB), gaming history would be a lot different.

@MostHandsieBoy I agree. And those are some good examples of good voice acting. My point stands.

It's sad there's not more money given to English voice actors (who aren't "celebrities"). That's surely a big part on a lot of games and animation acting sounding so lifeless.

@MostHandsieBoy Sad that for all kind of animation movies and games, English dub is subpar a lot of times, with some exceptions here and there. It seems like voice actors are not paid enough to show feelings/emotions when recording.

I want a Latin American Spanish dub. Where do I sign?

@RubyCarbuncle That's really harsh. But alright.

@Ocaz Didn't it have the oxford comma before?

@Spiders I agree with your statements. And thanks.

I'll actually give the game a try on PC when it releases tomorrow in Steam. But yeah, not hoping for any good experience base on all reviews I've read so far, on release date. Maybe some future patches could add content and improve combat mechanics.
