Re: A New Nintendo Switch Bundle Is On The Way With A $35 eShop Credit Code Included

Very tempting but I will hold off for the eventual (God willing) Animal Crossing bundle. I have made the mistake in the past with owning only one console and one copy of the game (Gamecube and Wii) and will not make that mistake again with the Switch. Resolved that problem real quick with the 3DS and Animal Crossing. The arguing and complaining got so bad that I eventually bought a 3DS and a copy of Animal Crossing (both of them) for the wife and the kids.

Re: Peter Molyneux Wants To Bring His Next Game To Nintendo Switch

@Ogbert I wasn't trying to pick a fight. Just pointing out facts (whether their are facts or opinions is debatable). I absolutely love the Wii U. True story. One of the main reasons why I bought a Wii U was because of an article that Game Informer ran about the Wii U version of Aliens Colonial Marines (that we now know NEVER even existed) and how it was the definitive version because of the Gamepad being used to track xenomorphs in real time. I canceled my subscription shortly after the truth came out and I do my very best NOT to give Gamestop any of my money since they own Gameinformer.

@Ogbert The only misstep with the Wii U was Nintendo's SILLY branding, marketing and lack of support on their end. Every Nintendo Direct would include 10 times more game announcements for the 3DS than the Wii U. They knew they MESSED up with the name Wii U and how they marketed the system (people thought it was an upgrade for the Wii) and that their was no going back. So they gave up on it and focused on the 3DS instead. And then third parties dropped support, most didn't even bother and the system died. The end. System was fantastic though and had potential but unfortunately Nintendo failed to realize that potential.

@Aneira I guess so. If almost every game is going to get an 8 which according to this website means the game is "great", then I guess they should start using decimals as well. Which I personally can't stand. For example, giving a game an 8 or an 8.5. Seriously? You were that torn that you couldn't decide whether the game deserved an 8 (great) or a 9 (must buy) so you took the cowardly route and gave it an 8.5. That's just my personal view on ratings systems that use decimals.

Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want From A Switch Mini?

The Switch Mini isn't for me since I already own a Switch and prefer the ability of using it as a console and a handheld. In my opinion, Nintendo needs to make and market a handheld Switch in the same manner they did with the 2DS. Make a Switch that is more durable and has a better battery life for $200 (or less if possible) and I can see myself buying one or two of them for my kids.

Re: Smartphone First-Person Shooter Modern Combat Blackout Is Firing Onto Nintendo Switch

I haven't played one of these games in years but I recall the earlier Modern Combat games being pretty good, especially when compared to what was being released on mobile at the time. With that being said, this can be a good thing. If you think that Activision won't be paying attention to this games sales, you are sadly mistaken. I hope this does well enough for Activision to realize that they made a HUGE mistake not putting out a COD game on the Switch.
