@Gold_Ranger You do see the irony of how offended people are about this decision, right?

@Gauchorino This isn't censorship. The Trump administration calling for journalists to be jailed is censorship; this is a platform holder or publisher (it's unclear which) making a business decision, much the way Disney choosing not to air an episode featuring racist imagery is a business decision, not censorship.

@Mortenb At least have the courage to tag me, apologist, before you claim I'm the danger, not people who propagate hate. Because that's what it is, not "an opinion".

@Zuljaras I don't accept certain behavior either. Which is why this isn't the end of the story, bigot.

@Zuljaras What the fuzz would make you think I'd accept your "apology"? Or believe any of your lies?

Also, I never accused you of criminality. That you believe I did indicates either delusion or a semblance of a conscience that knows you're filled with hate for people simply for being themselves.

@Zuljaras So you're not only a bigot, you're proud to be one.

NintendoLife moderators: the bigot is getting more likes than the guy calling him out. Is that really the site you wish to run?

@Mgene15 You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.

@Zuljaras Nice to see you at least admit your transphobia. Curious that that's where you immediately went.

@777dan777 They don't expect people to pay full price twice. They expect people buying it for the first time to pay full price. Pricing it low enough so that they can make a second sale from people who bought it on Wii U is a losing strategy.

@Zuljaras I'm for real. And I'm not concerned with being called pathetic for it. Nor with those who call me such.

Not surprised at the number of white people who don't get it speaking up.

@Cobalt Finally got around to reading this thread.

I'm 45. My first console was the 2600.

But by all means, assume I don't accept what you say because I'm not mature enough to understand you, rather than consider that maybe you're not as correct as you think you are.

I'd say a 9 is significant, but just today NL published an article about Mario Tennis which undermines their own review. One wonders how many other reviews are similarly unreliable.

One also wonders if the moderators are going to cowardly remove my observation again.

@DownRightSam Exactly. Crunch is a notorious problem in the industry, yet gamers have the audacity to claim laziness. Entitled bootyholes.

@Cobalt Just yesterday there was news that one analyst is predicting the Switch will be the best selling console of 2018. While I am skeptical, it does suggest that the Switch isn't losing quite as much momentum as your narrative requires.

Also, Nintendo promoting indie games doesn't prohibit them from working with AAA publishers, nor those publishers from publishing.

Waiting for endless comments that:

1. it's good that a game isn't coming to the Switch, or

2. this is proof that third parties are abandoning the system.

Neither is true.

@Cobalt I took the time to read what you wrote (well, some of it; you've been commenting so much I don't see how you have time to play games), and I understand it. You don't like the Switch--which is a perfectly valid opinion. You don't think it offers enough new content to distinguish it from the Wii U--which I can see, even though I disagree. You think that means the Switch lacks identity--that's simply untrue, and not something that can be justified as mere opinion. The Switch's identity is what the Wii U's should have been, had Nintendo decided what they wanted it to be. But they never could, so the market couldn't respond to it, and the result was the spectacular rejection of the console.

You also contradict yourself. You gave a list of games which you say give the Wii U identity. But most of them are also on Switch, yet you say they don't give it identity. It can't be both. Either they add value to both consoles or neither. Either they're worth playing on both consoles or neither. A good game is a good game, regardless of platform.

@Cobalt Dude, just stop. First of all, many of those games aren't exclusive, and not just because they've been ported to the Switch. ZombiU and Lego City are multiplat, and Pokken and Hyrule Warriors exist as Tekken and Musou elsewhere. And the Switch eShop blows the Wii U eShop out of the water. Even more than Nintendo's games, most of the indie games worth playing have been ported, whereas there are many games that never appeared on the Wii U worth downloading on your Switch.

If you don't like the Switch, fine. But the reasons you give aren't valid explanations, let alone reasons I should agree with you.

@Cobalt Apart from the absurdity of continuing to claim Switch only has two games which count, when you claim the Wii U had a strong identity you lose all credibility. It had no identity whatsoever.

@Cobalt Then why did you buy a Switch?

Also, have you ever been to Sligo, Ireland?

@Cobalt So multiplatform games are fake? That makes no sense at all.

Since @Cobalt put "real" in all caps it must be true. Can't believe I've been playing so many fake games all this time.

@G-Boy If you haven't heard of mobile games going to PS4 or X1, you haven't been listening. Oceanhorn immediately comes to mind as a game that started on iOS and went multiplat. The first other mobile game that I could think of that came to Switch, Burly Men At Sea, is on PS4. I'm sure I didn't just come up with the two counterexamples, and that there are plenty of mobile games that all the consoles are getting.

@Cobalt Of course it's the right thing to do. They're console games which first appeared on mobile because of the economic reality of development. Now they're getting their chance to appear on their rightful home.

@rjejr At least you've been able to manufacture a reason to be upset about something. Sounds like your day has started pretty well.

@Captain_Gonru I doubt it's because it does anything for the game; it's probably just because it's from a video game studio instead of someone with access to a game printer or publisher.

@ThanosReXXX No, it's an article right on the main page of the mobile site. NL clearly reposted an old guide; I wonder if the links to online vendors were left un-updated as well.

@ThanosReXXX Sorry. My fault for assuming an article NL posted on Sunday was only one day old.

It does explain a bit, however...

@rjejr @ThanosReXXX Carrying multiple SD cards is incredibly easy. I found a case that carries eight on eBay for five bucks that's the size of two credit cards. It fits easily into my Switch carrying case, something I assume everybody who uses the Switch portably has. It's literally the opposite of a problem.

@Haywired @superguy123 The difference is when you buy Magic cards or Pogs you are getting something in return for your money. There is random chance involved in what that is, but the pack is guaranteed not to be empty.

@subpopz That irony always makes me laugh too, that the Switch is derided for not being as good as second-best by people who don't realize that buying a console belies any claim to demanding the best graphics, which have been on PC for decades. I also have to laugh because PS4 and the Bone hold back PC development, because studios target the weakest hardware first and then upscale for more powerful hardware. If they could afford to ignore the console market we'd see games X1X could only dream of running.

@Turbo857 In Japanese that's the same as "Luigi".

This is a spot-on review of a fantastic game, and I'd sooner double-dip on this than get Aces, despite what @gatorboi352 says about my motivations in saying so.

Puzzle games aren't my thing, but I'm glad those who enjoy them will get to play this. I gotta be honest, I so associated this game with the PSP that I always assumed it was a Sony title, so the announcement surprised me on a number of fronts.

@NCChris Just an FYI--when you point out any of @gatorboi352 's illogic he doubles down on his claims and concludes that he has wrecked you, whatever the eff that means. It must be the closest English translation of a Trollese word.

@gatorboi352 No, it's also suspicious how wrecked I am.

@gatorboi352 Me. Ys VIII. Pode if reviews say a single player can handle the co-op gameplay. de Blob if I get in the mood to play an amazing game in HD. I won't be getting Aces at all. I'm waiting for Camelot to announce Mario Golf.

I mean who honestly looks at a list of two dozen games and both dismisses all but one of them and assumes everyone will be equally dismissive?

@BigKing Can you please respond to what I actually said, not what you want me to have said?

Of course getting a new team up to speed takes time.

EA has time.

Of course money needs to be recouped.

Nintendo fans would buy the game, and it would be recouped.

Of course publishers shouldn't throw money at projects that wouldn't earn any money.

This isn't one of those projects.

This game is perfect for the Switch. Porting the original as well--which takes care of your concern that it wasn't on the Switch--is perfect for the Switch. The publisher is refusing to make money by making bad decisions. If you don't understand that, please stop telling me I don't understand development, and start believing that just maybe the ignorance is yours.

@gatorboi352 I love how you're doubling down on Sony's position on cross-play. Were Nintendo market leader there's not a chance in hell you'd give them a pass, let alone argue that their market position justifies their actions. Yet further proof you're naught but a troll.

Also, methinks thou dost protest too much about the "troll" label. Kinda like the people most likely to accuse others of theft are thieves themselves.

Also also, thanks for the "grown-up" insult. My purpose has never been to change your mind; as with any fanboy you're just going to be further entrenched in your fanboyism when presented with actual arguments. My purpose has been to reach people you might persuade, and prevent that from happening. When you showed your true colors you helped my cause greatly.

@gatorboi352 No, your point wasn't proven. Your point remains as incorrect as ever. Let's take your Runner3 example. There were 55 other games released for the Switch within one week of Runner3's release. That means "They're excited because there are no other games" is false, because "There are no other games" is false. The excitement comes from somewhere else, and you remain a troll and a zealot, not a clear-eyed person speaking truth.

Let me ask you: if Sony and Microsoft had cross-play for Fortnite with Nintendo being a holdout, would you have called it a nothingburger, or would you have taken the opportunity to yet again criticize Nintendo? We all know the answer; please don't insult us by pretending it's anything else.

@BigKing So you say I know nothing about game development, but then tell me things that a) I already know, and b) don't contradict my point, which is that this isn't related to the developer but to the publisher. To paraphrase someone I once talked with:

lol you know absolutely nothing about commenting.

Playdead has tweeted "Worldwide June 28", so you can update your story.

@AxeltheBuizel It has everything to do with EA. Small dev teams don't have the resources to do all the porting themselves, and small dev teams can't afford to delay games half a year--but major publishers do and can, so if the game isn't being ported it's because the publisher chooses not to, not because they're unable.

@gatorboi352 Congratulations on the convert.

@gatorboi352 Also hilarious: zealots who populate fan sites of something they're not a fan of.

@Menchi187 Jeebus you're a bad troll. And not because you're naughty.

@gatorboi352 stay troll bro 👍

@Crono1973 Both, actually.

@gatorboi352 I fail to see how highlighting a game which will sell millions (and millions of systems) is mishandling success. Perhaps you can explain.

I'll let you know if I'm excited after I get around to playing Lydie and Suelle.
