I enjoyed playing Borderlands 2 quite a bit, it was a lot of dumb fun. Which reminds me that I haven't finished it yet... If B3 is like B2 and the problem is really just "They have other priorities", this is not a very good sign.
Looks really cool, but it won't make me buy the console by itself (Still haven't played Wind Waker, Twilight Princess or Skyward Sword and I'm totally fine. Having those three on the system as cheaper titles would help imo)
Guessing this will come about 2-3 years from now. SMT demons in Unreal Engine look slick.
If Atlus brought Devil Survivor or some other SMT spinoffs (Persona Q 2 with Persona 5 characters?) and also Etrian Odyssey to Switch, that would give me a lot of favor for the system. A Tokyo Mirage Sessions port would also help.
Still excited only for 3ds titles, since I already own a 3ds. I'll be getting excited over the Switch only after I can safely evaluate it as something worth buying. Pokemon BW2 arrived very late into the lifespan of the DS, so we could still see some late gems for the 3ds too. EO5's announcement is something I'm excitedly awaiting if nothing else.
Some of my most favorite games don't require a lot of power at all (I recently bought a PS4 mostly so I could eventually play Persona 5, which I could play even on the PS3), but I understand the fact, that if a device lacks power, it can be difficult for developers of big games to port to it, and that might be a problem when you try to establish a big enough install base to keep the flow of new games for the system coming. Games are ultimately most important - power isn't, but it can limit things.
Happy Holidays? This card doesn't take into account all the spawn of Sheol, who would wish to be wished Happy Unholidays. Check your angelic privilege Nintendo.
Now let's see if the name of THE Mario is enough for phone casual players to make them buy a pay-in-advance mobile game, instead of downloading some random free runner so they can make their kids shut up / to have something to play on the toilet. If Mario can't do it, I don't know what else can.
I have high hopes for Yacht Club Games and their future projects. This looks great. Anyone else would probably just slightly adjust the levels, create a new character with different moves and be done with it, but they really seem to have gone an extra mile with redesigning the bosses and everything.
It seems that despite a delayed departure, the Hype Train could still reach the final March destination with full force... If Nintendo remembers to fuel the engines.

Re: First Impressions: Getting Strategic in Disgaea 5 Complete
I want a Disgaea/Fire Emblem crossover, just so I could pick up super serious Fire Emblem characters like Xander and Lon'qu and throw them at enemies
Re: Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia Coming to 3DS on 19th May
3DS is still very much alive. This made my day much better. Great use of their IP.

Yup, the price and longevity are still an issue.

Re: Review: Super Mario Run (Mobile)
Now let's see if the name of THE Mario is enough for phone casual players to make them buy a pay-in-advance mobile game, instead of downloading some random free runner so they can make their kids shut up / to have something to play on the toilet. If Mario can't do it, I don't know what else can.

Are those IPs their property or did they just publish them?

Re: Video: Pokémon Generations Moves Into Gen VI With Lysandre and His Crazy Hair
It's funny seeing how they try so hard to make the guy with all the obvious evil screaming from his design appear like an ambiguous Steve Jobs type.
Re: The Sacred Hero Teased For Nintendo Switch Release In 2018
From the little imagery in the teaser, it reminds of Zelda quite a bit.

Oh look, free DLC, free until Dec 15th. Amazon scheduled my delivery of the game for Dec 16th. Lucky me.
Re: Video: Pokémon Generations Episode 15: The King Returns is Suitably Dramatic
I like how they chose Reshiram, because a white Pokemon suits an initially black-vs-white morality templar guy like N better in my opinion.
Also, I would have preferred if the picked the female protagonist for BW

Is Danny DeVito confirmed to voice Pikachu yet?
Re: Pokémon Sun And Moon Is Nintendo's Biggest UK Launch Ever
@kobashi100 Somebody said that? Because that would mean that person knows nothing about the products except for the brand's name.
Re: Pokémon Sun And Moon Is Nintendo's Biggest UK Launch Ever
Well, it is a great game from what I've played. Only problem I have with it: I trained a flipping male Salandit T_T
Re: Feature: 10 Essential 3DS RPGs
@CrazedCavalier It is an action RPG.

Re: Nintendo Switch Won't Be Sold At A Loss, Two Million Units To Ship In Time For March

Sorry
Re: Video: Pokémon Generations Episode 8: The Cavern is Full of Apocalyptic Scenes and Impressive Over-Acting
4th gen next, probably. Which reminds me, DP remakes are going to be on a (semi)home console now :3
Somebody should really take a Parasect to that Kyogre, it will drink all that water and ask for more.
