Are you triggered bro? Gaming is everybody's pastime, no special degrees required. For some people the financial commitment is an obstacle so Nintendo provides a nice compromise. I would even play a game with you just buzz me into your 10th floor suite.

@capitalism

You've just shown yourself to be an equally "wretched" Nintendo fanboy. Believing outlandish rumors and placing scorn on a whole segment of the population, who might be more affluent than you. Bias does not lend itself to fact finding.

Some interview, Gone in 60 Seconds...

"people be interested"

I am going to assume that's a typo.

@ThomasBW84

Let's be honest with ourselves here, I think plenty of people will buy this game for Mario. And the assumption of quality that a Nintendo game should be able to carry into a pudgy apathetic market place.

Wow dudes, good thing gamers these days aren't superficial.

@CrazedCavalier

That's not what I said, the issue is with how flighty the positive comments are. Contrast this with the very sparse conventions in this new Paper Mario entry, and I am genuinely curious how this game might earn appeal.

Vague comments offer little insight into a fan's mindset, unfortunately.

The first two comments might as well have been paid off by nintendo themselves lol. Just saying that's some mighty generic praise... for a mighty generic game.

I won't be purchasing, as the character variety seems very lacking. Battles look uninspired, etcetera.

Seems like the developers are struggling to keep this series different than Mario and Luigi in their heads. Most games have puzzles, so right there is an over simplification of the gameplay.

Super Mario RPG is the genetic code of Paper Mario...

The success of the first generation cannot be understated, imho.

None of the other generations would have existed, and they are all just further developments of preexisting ideas.

The bung doctor, a legend before its time.

Ah yes the valuable efforts of the noble homebrew community.

We should also praise thieves for breaking into somebody else's house so we can obtain their valuables.

@Allspice that makes sense, for me it seems like a weird choice to emphasize the press deadlines rather than the content.

Like this kind of information should be accessible to everyone, and really isn't a good time or format for an interview.

Oh another thing, how is this an exclusive article?

Don't all the fans of Nintendo everywhere deserve to know this basic news regarding the launch of a new title?

This is a disgraceful way to treat the fans who supported the launch, and an embarrassment to these developers. I think we heard from them too soon, before the game was even a reality. And now their optimized tech demo was a simple case of bait and switch. Which only hurts their case because it was a chance for them to be upfront with the game's technical failings.

I wouldn't continue to support this company frankly, how does this qualify as a final effort and their magnum opus? Which they now relegate it to some NX vaporware status.

@3MonthBeef

How can you even compare those two games, it's like night and day?

Probably the reviewer had fun with that game and not this. Simple

@Luna-Harmony a PS4 and a hard core title, I don't see how that even applies?

For one thing the price is way beyond that available to a typical youth. Pokemon Go is very accessible and geared towards a casual audience, for another.

Should let Alex review this one, at least he got the word out!

How do they keep screwing up the simple things?

Free in one region, locked/demo in another. Just have a single plan for the rollout!

@rjejr

I hope that didn't cost you an undue birthday "bash" we could really use a system to notify about such events!

There's nothing to be glum about, your comments sparked a lot of conversation. Just like they usually do.

@rjejr

These new Pokemon are so poorly designed, Game Freak is pumping out freaks.

What is needed is an evolution of the core design philosophy, rather than the 'Mon themselves.

Since when does vulgar language pass muster on this site?

I honestly think this is the first article without some kind of disclaimer. When you enforce a "G" rating in the comments section, the editors should display the same level of courtesy.

Only 400,000 units were sold of a totally obscure franchise.

But waait the install base in Japan who had been exposed to the concept and are saturated with handhelds sold more units?

Goodness me.

e3 is a gigantic spoilerific convention

this website is a news source with the sole purpose of removing a person's ignorance about the world

hypocrisy

The article can't possibly describe the game in question, which looks like a steaming pile of cat liver.

Humbly I admit this doesn't look too enjoyable for me, but reasonable prices are a great way to encourage sales (and loyal customers).

The pricing model is geared towards individual choice in selecting contributions, so it's not really correct to say people are avoiding the $13.00 tier. Actually for the results to show a total identical or beyond a given tier, would be purely anomalous and could indicate a strong contribution from generous donors (like the $100+ crowd).

Sounds less than amicable, if they believe kicking old personnel is the way to advance the company.

@Socar

Move before the bomb?

Yeah why didn't everybody do that; talk about a sadistic assumption.

@Dave24

All the name calling in the world won't help your point, the facts are out there, why should we trust your interpretation?

Arm chair generals: hindsight is 20/20

For those reacting to this news like an atomic bomb on their minds, well, history is provocative. War history doubly so; I guess stay off the Internet and protect your fragile knowledge of the world.

@rjejr

I am fairly sure that in the time you spent typing a rebuttal, most people would have sent the email and been on their way.

Continually nearing the uncanny valley with this engine.

I really think the charm of the original lies in a less is more approach, i.e. minimalism that lets the character take center stage.

@Neko_Ichigofan

You shouldn't be ignorant as to the kinds of legal claims that are brought against Nintendo, probably on an almost weekly basis.

Unfortunately there is a kind of arms war being fought at all times against copyright poachers, and the only way to combat that is to keep a large army of lawyers on staff. Doing any less would be naive.

I wasted some time to take in all that was written above, this definitely shows why the Pokemon fan base is apparently toxic to outsiders.

While I've played most of the games this line of argument is loathsome and pretty well defines why the story in the games has no interest to me.

@maxz

Cool! That does help, thanks.

While I can't understand Japanese (...yet) the opening seemed like a buzzkill. Really I could be at home reading through dialogue on my Wii U!

The actual concert though; incredible.

This might be the dumbest video of all time, even watching and understanding the ideas behind it...

@Megumi

Squid Girl is lyfe.

This looks fantastic, kind of stoked these space/rogue/survival games are in vogue right now.

@Peach64 you bring that assertion without presenting any evidence, which clearly puts you on the same grounds as your fellow "ignorant" persons.

Think about any number of indie studios which are able to develop for Nintendo, with their implicit help which is the whole point of developing for a certain console. You expect to have a learning experience.

@kybuukid213

That picture makes me so happy, omigosh.

It helps that the Inkling has such an impish grin!

He can sleep now? Yea dude nice work, by abandoning all principles of level design you've truly achieved something remarkable. Maybe it's galactic justice that his mental wellbeing should suffer along with those he's trolling, lol.

That was darn cool, wasn't expecting much tbh!

Prince piepie can get blessings from eligible maidens... oh ic

@Lizuka yea pretty much

I was a big fan of Kickstarter until a lot of malarkey happened with it over the recent past, and several projects that I backed simply tanked.

The more games that support a particular amiibo, the less you are paying for each "use" of it so that makes a difference.

In light of that more titles with support for the existing figures would bode well.

@Jimtaro

Sorry but I don't quite process what you are trying to say. If it's that a Nintendo themed level should not be compared to the benchmark, that being the original level what comparison would you suggest?

I hope you don't consider this snippet to be impressive enough to stand against modern gen efforts. The only reason I'm going on about the atmosphere is because it's a tangible part of the Zelda experience, maybe for you it's there but I think this could be a tech demo for any game.

This comes down to whether you feel the N64 graphics carried a charm with them. I feel that a large part of the atmosphere is missed... Kakariko village is a small burg indeed but not abandoned, overgrown with knee-high grass. The sun glinting eerily and drowning out all the surroundings? Zelda titles are king at projecting a vibrant and lived in world. So this kind of modern dubbing is hardly a threat, and more of a gee that's neat. But not befitting of Nintendo.
