PALversusNTSC

There is realy no end term of stopping this game in sales.
Who would have thought the switch would become so popular.

I think it will break every record in game history, watch the corona outbreak sales figures next month. I would not surprice me, the switch is hitting 75 million sold units worldwide.

It must be something around that amount, since most shops haf prox 5/6 units in stock before everybody went crazy, and then we dont even count big online shops in every country.

@Ensemen

Everybody knows mario, ask people from age 4 till 85 who he is, they point him out.
he has the same cult as mickey. You can not say that about master chief or crash bandicoot lol.

nintendo is basicly a modern way what disney was in the 21th century.
So i understand this investors motives.
Although i dont think nintendo has the same business drive that walt disney had.

The company clings too much on japanese tradition, americans have balls in business so to say.
Im not an american btw

@YANDMAN
Not possible man.

The games needs all the system memory, so multitasking is out of the question. The OS is just not build to multitask, only thing they could do is add twitch for watching streams, its impossible to play switch games and stream at the same time.

@La-weejee
I agree.

Those titles deserve to get attention, the wii u had some magical games.
The wii-u itself was also a fantastic system, but you had to own one to see it yourself.

I still think the concept would have become popular if it was slimmer and could be taken from home like the nintendo switch, and nintendo had worked on these relationship with 3th party developers.

I'll hope concept will be tought of in the future, i realy liked the usage of a secondary screen in games.

Not realy intrested in most of these metroid games beside the first one from the wii.

I owned a wii just for 6 months and got rid of it fast

Bad luck this all happens in the year when new consoles are being launched. Those events are always magical.

One of the best fps solo campaign ever made.

Whats the point in showing a fps movie trailer and telling what kind of game it will be?

Not many games are realy metroidvania anyway, yes there are maps and sub levels, but where is the atmosphere?

Only hollow knight comes close

@carlos82
Yeah, but where is motion controll on a n64 controller.

Best thing you could do is to buy a usb bluetooth transimiter and use ps4 controllers.

I prefer those even above the pro controller, wich has a rumble function (its not adding something to gaming IMO) and just dont like the bulky layout. Also it suports motion controll

Thrifting can't be solved. It's an hardware issue most common with people who push the analogsticks to hard or in most cases eat crisps while gaming, its just dirt.

The most iritating problem are joycons that keep disconecting, i hope the update solve this.

@ATaco
Well microsoft is promoting its brand via nintendo switch. Looks like a return favor to me.

In the near future i see both of them working more together, maybe with a streaming service.
At that time hardware is not relevant anymore.
I see it happen within 8 years.

Microsoft will help nintendo to set it up.

@MaxlRoseGNR

The xbox needs a game like banjo kazooie, without these type of games i see the xbox franschise slowly die.
They already took a hard punch after the xbox360.
The console misses diversity in games.

It also the reason why i left my favorite brand, games are depressing, you want to see more exclusive titels like on ps and on nintendo consoles.

The xbox is all about explosions, shooting.
The console made me depressive, and the xbox one was a mayor setback after the legendary xbox360.

Well, they dont want to make money obviously.

I never understood, why rare never made a true follower of banjo-kazooie, banjo-tooie.
Its one of the few great games they made.

Guys.

Im planning to buy the whole collection, but can you give me advise of wich one to play first. I see there are several standalone versions.

Thanks

Gratefull and many respect to all those companies who tried try to pull it of ofcourse.
But if you want to see those games in full glory, buy a next gen console and play as they attended to be played.

@Donutman

no i don't think that wil ever happen, but they could give microsoft some rights for donkey kong

They mean nextgen, as in ps5 and xbox series x?

leaves in laughter

Strange thing is, i say fysical copy at the mediamarkt a week before launch in the netherlands.
But before i wanted to buy it, i wanted to check reviews on the internet sinces i brought not my smartphone with me.

At home i could not find any data about it, only a release date april the 1th!!??

you cant blame nintendo for such strange times, not their fault all of a sudden everybody with kids on this planet want one.

they delivered at launch wich other companies could no do, like sony, wich is imo a way bigger company

wow if almost whole stock is gone at retailers worldwide, what amount are we talking about.

Dynamic camera with analog stick. Sometimes you can't see behind objects, i dunno why anno 2020 nintendo did not thought of this?

A protection mode for your stuff, if you have a kid that sell all your stuff, like mine, who sold my wifes fenches and flowers lol.

The games ui gets quit boring after some time.
Also the islands are boring i miss caves, diverse music, thunderstorms. You get the point.

For the rest its a sweet game, my wife and kid are enjoying it, but it holds ME back to start the game.
Its just to blend.

Next update should be, that your kid (second account) cant sell your stuff, where you can password protect some actions.

Thank you very much.

These updates are getting annoying. The game is just 4 days old and everyday since launch we get daily updates Sometimes very slow download.
Why dont the do this once a week, in one big download.

@Zuljaras
A requirement if you want better graphics, as said.

@progx

Doom was 14gb plus 8gb additional

As expected last week.

Science of stupidity.

I like what they did with the caracters in final fantasy 9.
Hopefully one day a full remake:)

I even suspect (read:suspect) the gamecard technology nintendo uses can not go higher then 32gb.
Maybe it has something to do with the read/write speed, wich change above 32gb.
Its like sticking a usb 3.0 into a 2.0 port.

Sd formats change too above 32gb.

Nonetheless get used to the digital era, even if you bought a game physical, you need big updates, the bluray system is also useless within a couple of years.

@Heavyarms55

I dont think so.
Probably around 10,8 million(still impressive)
These sales figures are just an explosion because of the fans where waiting for it.

Most owners dont like these fluffy sweet games.

Im not buying this game, the annoying voices caracters make is irritating after half an hour.

@mesome713

No, its just that japanese people have more dicipline.
Beside that japanese people where always beware of this situation and wearing masks often.

We western people ignore rules (also europe)
Just do what we want, and dont think as a group.
Alot of people find this situation over execerated, and do what they want and break rules

I work in this business, i work at a pro retail/wholesale.
These mask wont help against viruses, they are for dust particles.
In europe there are 3 types class 1 (normal dust diy) class 2 (harmfull dust) class 3 with a valve for harmfull dust and liquid harmfull parts particles (not virusus)
Those masks are for construction workers.

You need surgent masks to protect yourself (those green masks)

Handgel does not work either, its for bacteria, and basicly alcohol and ingredients to use it like a soap.
but washing your hands first with soft soap and after that, the gel with 97% alcohol will work.
The outer layer of the virus need to get soft (soap) then use alcohol, it will kill the virus instantly, because it penetrates through the outer shell.

Its sounds cooler, thats for sure.

Playstation X was its project name, Psx was the original launch name in the U.S as shown in early advertisements, then named playstation.
It became Playstation ONE with the slim version, and when the playstation 2 was launched, people starting to call it the ps1.

Sorry for my reaction btw.

@Robzilla
Exactly my thoughts.

I never understood what the fun is all about a game, where you play several caracters but without one great story. Its just pointless in a jrpg.

It looks realy great, and ofcourse can be fun, but its just a shame there is no story behind it that would have made it more apealing like final fantasy III was. This is what actualy holds me back from buying this, even if it will cost 5,-

I was expecting more from this game during development.

He guys.

You guys also missing the free online games from the estore? Is there a maintance or something

Metal gear and silent hill belongs on the ps4, beside that imo konami is history, there hasnt been any nice game since 2001.
Maybe some pes editions.

Nintendon should focus on indie studio that made baldo. There lies a great potential.

This good be a great studio for a game like mother 3 or a new paper mario style game

@Kintypoo121

Do you have a fast mobile internet connection on your smartphone?
With unlimited data?

If so why not try to make a hotspot on your phone. Maybe that will help.

Real man are baldo.

Nintendo switch consoles (not the lite editions) are completly sold out in the netherlands in 1 day!!!, because of the corona virus.
People staying at home with their kids, because schools are closed for 3 weeks.

Bizar.

Damn i missed the boat.
Wish i bought 10 of them could have made good money, like i did with the mini snes.

They have to make better games, all their games have the same annoying guitar music and arcade feel into it.

Also stop pushing those sonic games, they are so repetitive and not apealing.
The company lacks creativity.

consoles can outlive 10 years if they are suported enough with games and updates. if there are so many units sold, it is selfsuporting.

there are reports that even people start to return to the xbox360, there are awesome mods available

this is kinda criminal, why would a company like nintendo do that?

@sixrings
well depends in what perspective, the games also hold their value, unlike any ps4 or xbox title that lose value when you step out of the gamestore, and considered very fast as 2nd hand.
also the games are no direct ports and on cardridge.
and not even considered as 2nd hand, so you always sell them for a good price.

also buying games on the switch, IMO offers a better experience, thats why people love to buy games on the switch.

I still remember the time People laughed at me when i told on miiverse back in 2016 Nintendo Should go for the mobile market.

Who is laughing now?

@Cdodd
i did not read your comment back then, and it was the first thing i thought too.
its what i like to see also.

but it has its flaws, some games will be produced for docking mode only, maybe it will become confusing for consumers.

i forgot achievements!!!!
