I can see myself finally getting a Switch when there's a packed in game and I can just order one on Amazon without a price gouge.... so probably around 2019 lol
This is pretty sleazy and cowardice of them to claim it's based on diversity and JonTron's alleged stance against it(?). JonTron is in no way against diversity and I'd challenge them to link to where he's against it. They just simply don't want to the negative press with his voice being associated with the game. I have no dog in this fight, I'm just identifying Playtonic's reasoning for removing him as cowardice and dishonest.
Good on the guy for meeting the goal but wow, it's an unapologetic clone game. At least make it your own like say a Shovel Knight. I could have made a sprite swap ROM hack for his daughter in a weekend without needing kickstarter funding. There's a lot about this that I'm not entirely sure I support. Plus pulling the heartstrings with "daddy girls can't be knights". Give me a break.
I get the impression that only a few people would be upset with this information. As in previous Nintendo console releases the power of the system isn't the selling point. As long as the games are fun right?
I'll gladly pay a physical copy tax especially on cartridges. However it does mean in the long run I probably won't purchase all the games I'd want to. Eh there's plenty out there.
They could have said it takes place anywhere in the time line and it would have worked. That just goes to show that it doesn't matter in the slightest.
Eiji Aonuma has kinda ruined the series for me. The only games I like that he's produced has been the Wind Waker and Link Between Worlds. It's not a popular opinion to have on this site but OoT and prior are stellar titles, then Aonuma takes over and things start to get really weird. The series would be better off if they gave the reins to someone else.

Re: Forget Scratched Screens And Joy-Con Problems, "Warp-Gate" Is The New Nintendo Switch Issue
They should have ate the cost and upgraded the CPU to the latest Nvidia's Tegra. They run cooler for a start and provide more performance.
Re: Feature: How Battle Princess Madelyn Is Fulfilling One Little Girl's Dream Of Starring In Ghouls 'n Ghosts
Just edit the sprite patterns for GnG. This clone is ethically worse than just editing the game and giving it out for free.
Call me cynical but I feel this whole pandering and using his daughter was to pull on the heart strings of the indy gaming community.

Re: Retro Platformer Battle Princess Madelyn Hits Funding Goal In Just Five Days

Re: Here's Why Nintendo Switch Games Cost More Than Those For Other Consoles
I'll gladly pay a physical copy tax especially on cartridges. However it does mean in the long run I probably won't purchase all the games I'd want to. Eh there's plenty out there.

Other than the frame rate drops, the Wii U version looks great!
Re: Feature: Some of Our Favourite Legend of Zelda Games
Eiji Aonuma ruined the series on the Wii.
The series became too text base and less action adventure. I hope BOTW brings back the classic exploration and action.

Re: Yep, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Takes Place After Ocarina of Time
They could have said it takes place anywhere in the time line and it would have worked. That just goes to show that it doesn't matter in the slightest.

Eiji Aonuma has kinda ruined the series for me. The only games I like that he's produced has been the Wind Waker and Link Between Worlds. It's not a popular opinion to have on this site but OoT and prior are stellar titles, then Aonuma takes over and things start to get really weird. The series would be better off if they gave the reins to someone else.
