That picross 3D one is pretty great.

Blergh I just want a direct with some 3DS announcements. Switch lineup is stacked for already.

Plus Mario Maker 2, Prime 4 actual teaser trailer and Prime Trilogy Is all I need from Switch. Well maybe Pikmin 4 as well...

“Nindies*

Oh come on! Just give us a freakin general direct

Warioware may have had a meh debut but it’s second week sales had a much much lower %drop than most games do.

Etrian Odyssey X of course dropped hard due to a combination of stock issues and the series being bought mainly by a dedicated fan base.

Every Switch game but three(Octopath, Baseball and Taiko) up week on week. Nice +38% on Captain Toad.

Regardless it’s disgusting that Level-5 hasn’t even addressed this.

Shame on them.

Level-5 aquired comcept so this is on them now.

Level-5 is about as good at communicating and doing things in a timely fashion as a mute, blind and deaf 100 year old man.

Also Stephen how did you managed to post that seven times? Did NL just bug out on me or did it actually post your post seven times?

Anyone else notice FEMC from persona 3 portbale is back?

JohnTron was right all along about “Sness”

Yes please.

To further expand the top 20 to the best of our knowledge would be...

19 Super Mario Maker 2.93(As of December 31st 2017)
20 Legend of Zelda Link Between Worlds 2.90(As of March 31st 2014)

Link Between Worlds current sales are likely several places up though.

@Cynas

It’s really popular in Japan and Europe. And it did solid in America too.

Anyways it’s not surprising to see Zelda missing. Look at DS Top ten(In millions)

New Super Mario Bros: 30.80 million
nintendogs
: 23.96 million
Mario Kart DS
 23.60 million
Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day 
19.01 million
Pokémon Diamond Version/Pearl Version
 17.67
Pokémon Black Version/White Version
 16.64
Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day
 14.88
Pokémon HeartGold Version/SoulSilver Version: 
12.72
Animal Crossing: Wild World
: 11.75
Super Mario 64 DS
: 11.06

Wii is similar.

Zelda sells systems and is a critical darling and always does well In Sales...but it doesn’t hit as wide an audience as Mario, Pokemon etc.

BOTW is the first Zelda game that is looking to sell on par with Mario Platformers, Pokemon and the like. 9.48 Million(Switch version alone) and it’s not losing any momentum at all.

However as of March 31st 2018 Ocarina of time 3D was at 5.60 Million in sales. Behind only Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon netting it the #12 spot. We haven’t had a sales update on Link Between world since March 2014 but I dare say with it getting a Selects release(In Europe a couple years back and America early this year) and a hardware bundle at GameStop, as well as being freakin Zelda it’s probably not too far behind OOT.

Like anyone actually expected it before October 2019 anyways.

UK hasn’t exactly been the best market for 3DS in general. It had its moments but in general 3DS games have done far worse than Switch games have in general even looking back several years. I am more curious to see how it does in France, the US and Japan.

And yeah those reviews have been really slow in coming up which probably didn’t help with visibility for the game....

I wish the S series would be on 3DS too. I prefer touchscreen controls for picross, 3DS is easier and safer for me to take with me outside the house and I find the 3$ premium they charge for roughly the same content as the e series annoying...although they might still do the 7.99$ on 3DS too in that case. Really silly to not support touch controls. There are Switch Stylus pens....

I hope they at least keep doing the e series. We got e8 and Sanrio Characters picross between S1 and S2...here is hoping for e9.

That said almost certainly buying this when my 3DS picross backlog dries up.

This is so trashy. Let me use what I want.

Like half the people who beat Brock back in the days didn’t even have one of those.

According to Nintendo.com and Jupiter’s site Sanrio Characters Picross also releases this week.

@ReaderRagfish

Also there probably are at least a few troll votes and users who actually did(knowingly or not) physically cause this via poorhandling, an accident etc.

Like this is not a non issue but I do strongly doubt the general populace has a 20% rate.

More disgusted at the repair cost. More than half the cost of the unit for a fairly basic repair? Should be a shipping/handling/processing fee and than you get charged the raw cost of materials for repair + the repairman’s fee.

Dunno what it would cost but it certainly would be a lot less than this nonsense.

I like the minimalist theme.

I despise the PS4 menu. Too much nonsense on there. Remove like 80% of that nonsense

All that blast processing is too much to handle.

I like how that is a defense. It not having real world value basically means it’s gambling without a prize that has any real value.

Just makes you look worse lol.

@Giygas_95

Pikmin 3, and Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE

So hey what about Yokai Watch 3 Level 5?

They won’t bring it to NA so...whatever.

It’s not Treasurenaughts so who cares.

Remember like 3 years ago when jools said he was focusing on Treasurenaughts?

@chardir

My bro has a Switch and lives nearby.

Awwww yeah.

@MADGAZ what about Daemon X Machina? An exclusive new third party action game seems like a big deal to me. Oh and Ninjala. That new IP from Gung-ho.

@Nincompoop

FIFA 18 did quite well. And the Switch is a hot product. Fastest selling system ever in the US. EA can’t ignore that and such non specific tepid nonsensical self contradicting reasoning is not gonna fly. I dare say more than a few shareholders are going to be going “Why is madden not on Switch? Why are you doing almost nothing for Switch? It’s a hot and rapidly growing market. You cannot Ignore that kind of potential revenue!”

Gamefreak and Nintendo get a cut of the money.

Plus google and Niantic also gets a cut of Pokémon Go

@Giygas_95 The difficulty did seem kinda obnoxiously high to me in the first(I didn’t play much though so maybe I just never got The hang of it)

I agree difficulty setting would’ve been a good idea.

@H_Hunter

It’s amazing that ignorance persists enough for this to be surprising to be people. Nintendo has said they will keep supporting 3DS and this has been known as a 3DS title for many months now.

They also literally said in in this interview Switch wasn’t even a thing when this started development and that the way gameplay is set up needs two screens so...,yeah.

This sounds like flaming hot garbage.

@Razzy

Yeah I would’ve been lost and confused otherwise.

Thanks Dom

Hey Splatoon for 3DS.

The rage will be glorious but I actually liked Hey Pikmin....

The patent is too broad to be valid in the first place.

I kinda hope this doesn’t happen for awhile as I would love to keep getting 3DS games hahaha.

(I own a Switch too)

@MikeW Camelot actually.

How about Monster Hunter XX?

Except they better not pull a Sqaure Enix and localize only the Switch version...

@-Juice-

My point is it’s petty to wish the 3DS dead because it gets a handful of small and mid size games and act like it’s somehow hurting Switch in any meaningful way when it has all these big titles coming.

The internet needs to stop making every mention of the 3DS “it’s finally dead now because this lastest rumor” or “Nintendo should kill 3DS”

It happens all the time on Facebook, gamefaqs etc.

People need to stop being so toxic about 3DS. Accept that it still makes Nintendo money and that a solid amount of people still enjoy 3DS. If people complain they should complain respectfully to Nintendo instead of whining about how stupid they are.

Are we really mad that Nintendo is supporting a system long term for once?

It’s not it’s hurting Switch. All the best talent are making Switch games. 3DS is getting remakes and quirky little games like Sushi Strikers and Warioware.

Oh no how will the poor Switch owners survive not having Luigi’s Mansion when they are getting Smash Bros, Yoshi, Fire Emblem, Pokemon, Mario Tennis, Donkey Kong, Metriod Prime 4 etc.

All I want is Persona 5 Switch and Persona Q2

Sounds about right.

@PhilKenSebben

Your fault for expecting a game confirmed for 3DS in September of last year to be coming to Switch.

Well they lost my interest. I really prefer my RPGS portable. No 3DS and Switch being a nebulous release quite a while from now...my life may be a lot busier and my backlog certainly not much smaller....

Buzz off Sqaure Enix until you don’t screw up constantly with portables/Localization and don’t take an eternity to release or localize the games that actually happen.

@NewAdvent

Stardew Valley has become something acclaimed and proven on other platforms. And given how the dev keeps working on it and has something else in development is it really a hobby anymore?

@FragRed

This applies to everything.

Timed exclusives or “Esclusives” they suddenly aren’t exclusive the next year are quite common.

@thesilverbrick

Smash 4 came out four years ago and it took about two years to develop Smash 4 sooo...yeah not really,

I hope we get some more GB/NES remakes on 3DS. Most those

Zelda 2 could use a remake and the other GB zelda’s would benefit from better controls/U.I and graphics.

Also would love Advance Wars, Hey Pikmin 2, Monster Hunter XX etc. on 3DS

Switch I really just want Fire Emblem Switch details and Pikmin 4, plus release dates and a third party game or two. The biggest stuff( Smash hopefully for example) will be at E3.

@TheLobster

Yeah. I stopped making levels because nobody was playing them...so this will be great.

Yeah I can agree with this review.

It’s very good game.

Day one buy
