Thought it might have been something along the lines of the hot coffee ending from the original flash game but come on. Children's content can get away with that much ass.
Sega's including things like merchandise and pachislots to increase the numbers here. Last year they said Sonic sold 360 million but going back to 2011 it only sold 70 million. No way did they sell 730 million Sonic games between 2011 and 2018, or more than double the sales figure from last year.
Good idea that I wished more people would do (old graphics like this look cool, don't @ me). Unfortunately, this game appears to suffer in the execution based on reviews.
Got it because the Nintendo fan in me couldn't go without it. 6 sounds about right. It's easy enough to pick up and surprisingly fun but its age certainly shows. The price of Hamster's releases also doesn't help. Same price for early arcade games like this and later Neo Geo games can make it a harder sell. If you're curious, maybe just wait till you have some gold coins you don't mind using.
The option for a one player Adventure Mode had me intrigued but sounds like even that's not really enough to justify getting this without playing with friends a majority of the time. Oh well.
I feel like people complaining about a clickbait title should pay more attention to the Random tag. It's not like the News tag was used. This is just pointing out a rather humerous placeholder date.

It was initially revealed for Switch and PC, with it being console exclusive to Switch. Now there's confirmation of a PS4 and Xbox One version coming.
My left joycon would really only experience issues if a part of me got in the way. I exclusively use the pro controller when playing docked now so that solved my problem. Even in tabletop with joycons, everything's positioned so that no part of me gets in the way.
But then I'd have to take a GB game out of the case and I only do that to play the GB game. Cool and resourceful find nonetheless. I have 8 physical games and my Switch carry case has room for 14, so I'm not yet at the point where I need extra carrying capacity.
That's incredible. I wonder if that customer support person just helps with the old consoles. Can't imagine they get too many people calling in for help with their NES or SNES.
We've seen the tofu before and I know they said they tried rabbits before squids but this is the first we've seen of the rabbit designs, at least from what I'm aware of. Interesting how ideas evolve.
Wasn't as good as the previous one imo. I did get a kick out of seeing a Nitrome game and the Messenger looks alright. Can't say anything else interested me that much.
Gooey was also in Dreamland 2, he just wasn't playable.
Anyway, I'm freaking ecstatic to see these characters return. I've always been a big fan of them. Hoping to see the other companions from Dreamland 3 in the future.
I'll gladly take the small but imo, reasonable rebate. I'm not expecting to use the coins to purchase full retail games but I already managed to save $10 on purchases, $5 of which I got quickly from the new system. It'll be great for getting the cheaper titles either for free or at a discounted price. I can see myself picking up a lot more of Hamster's offerings because of this new system.
And if I compare it to what other loyalty programmes I'm apart of, I'm either getting about as much money back as others or it's flatout better because I don't have to buy so much within a certain period or spend ridiculous amounts of money to claim some crap prize.

I know seeing games that aren't Smash would be nice but I'd also like to see more Smash haha.

I think you mean GBA and DS.
Regardless, sad to hear. The art for Golden Sun was really good. Hope his son and family are doing okay.

Re: Random: A Game Boy Cartridge Case Can Perfectly Store 15 Of Your Switch Games
But then I'd have to take a GB game out of the case and I only do that to play the GB game.

Then they should make it more apparent. Have a categories tab on the side alongside recent releases and charts.

Re: Nintendo Plans To Increase "discoverability and visibility" On The Switch eShop
My only complaint has been a lack of categories. Otherwise I don't think it's designed bad at all.
