"As far as I'm concerned, as long as it wasn't cut from the main game (And this clearly wasn't- it's a remake and no part from the original is missing) then it's fair game. $50, $100, $1,000... doesn't matter. If it's extra, it's extra."
"This is optional why are you guys complaining xD?"
Surprise, people don't like scummy business practices. And a season pass that costs more than the game itself releasing at launch day IS scummy no matter how you look at it.
I don't care enough for nu-FE anyway so I'll gladly give this DLC a pass.
Also heard from a few people that the game runs just as well on the Wii U, which would make sense since it was being developed for that system for most of its duration. Does anyone here own both versions, or have played both at the very least to confirm this is the case?
Hopefully this is the start of a golden age for Nintendo. After the "dark age" that was 2015 and 2016, I'm beyond excited for Zelda, ARMS, Snipperclips, Splatoon 2, Mario, Xenoblade, Pikmin 4 and Fire Emblem: Echoes.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Skyward Sword had a couple of things that I disliked with how it was designed, but overall I thought it was really good! The story, music and characters are decent and I loved Skyloft.
Good results overall. I think the winners deserved their respective awards, although I would argue DOOM technically had better game design than Overwatch. Both games were great though!
@KTT Kirby, Fire Emblem and Monster Hunter come to mind. Rhythm Heaven wasn't a major release but still extremely fun.
@Anti-Matter I'm curious, what games do you think should have won instead? Just asking.
@G-Boy I don't want to spoil major stuff for anyone, but things like writing an essay for Mettaton would have to be cut or botched at the very least. It wouldn't be a major issue but I think it would take away some of the charm.
I've been on board since day one with BOTW. I don't care about the traditional conventions at all, I just want the best game and freshest experience possible, and things look good on that front.
@Haywired If you should ever support a Fire Emblem game, it's this one in my opinion. It goes back to the roots of the series while bringing a lot of new things to the table. Besides, if this sells well, we could get remakes of the other Japan exclusive FE games, which is always a good thing.
"Hey guys, we're going to charge you 20 dollars for stuff that is normally in a Zelda game anyway and we're gonna be super vague about other information and not even wait until the game is out to announce this! Pay up suckers!"
I got my old Wii up and working again so I don't really mind if there's no GCN VC. And if there's a Gamecube game I want that's too expensive... well... yeah.
@OorWullie I mean... that's more excusable but there's no reason to not include this "harder" mode with the base game anyway. I guess we'll have to wait and see though.
I really hope Splatoon 2 becomes more competitive and e-sportsy and stuff. Splatoon 1 was really neat and was close to having a "meta" and all that fluff.
@KirbyTheVampire Jap VA's having exaggerated voices is true for the most part but there are plenty of anime where the characters sound like normal people and do a good and realistic job of portraying emotions.
I see the R rating as a good thing as it lets the writer make the show he wants without many restrictions. Whether or not that's a good thing remains to be seen.
Regardless, I'm quite optimistic and I don't think people should be judging the show as a whole because of a producer's idiotic comments.

Re: Hands On: Hey! Read These Hey! Pikmin Impressions
I think a lot of people seem to be dancing around the fact that this game has a 90% chance of being mediocre at best with Arzest at the helm.
Also I'm not one to dislike a game because it's different, this just looks really dull and happens to be different at the same time.
Re: Nintendo Outlines Pricing and Details for DLC in Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia
@JaxonH 45$ for a season pass is still too much.
"As far as I'm concerned, as long as it wasn't cut from the main game (And this clearly wasn't- it's a remake and no part from the original is missing) then it's fair game. $50, $100, $1,000... doesn't matter. If it's extra, it's extra."
That's not how it works.

Re: Review: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (Switch)
Definitely not for me, but I'm glad Switch owners who haven't played the original will get to enjoy this.
Re: Arzest Emerges as Developer of Hey! Pikmin
This looks GROSS but at least it isn't Pikmin 4.
Re: A New Mythical Pokémon For Sun and Moon is a Mysterious Marshmallow, It Seems
@ThatNyteDaez I mean, we did get the Tapus and some UB's... those are pretty OP.
Re: Video: Splatoon 2 Trailers Show Off Weapons for Global Testfire Event
The dual pistol weapon and how it works reminds me of Tracer a little bit.
Re: South Park: Fractured But Whole Not Coming To Switch, Despite Apparent Twitter Tease
It wasn't even a proper tease. Their twitter posts random quotes like that all the time.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry Tackles Zelda: Breath of the Wild on Nintendo Switch vs. Wii U
I'm very happy both versions are similar. The DLC is coming to the Wii U version too, right?
Re: The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Runs Better In Switch's Portable Mode
@ProjectCafe Me. It looks like the exact same experience (I don't care about portability) and I don't like buying consoles at launch.
Potential Switch launch money will go into Zelda and NiER Automata instead!

Re: Feature: A Chat About Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Evolution of the Franchise
@invictus4000 Ye, the fragmented world was the thing I disliked the most. Every area was a pain to go through in the later portions of the game.

Re: Poll: Nintendo Switch Countdown - Less Than a Week to Go, Is the Hype Building?
Hype for the Switch - Not enough money sadly, I'd love to get one at launch but I can wait
Hype for Zelda - Absolutely and wholeheartedly through the roof
Re: Guide: Nintendo Switch Launch Games & Release Dates 2017

Re: Guide: Nintendo Switch Launch Games & Release Dates 2017
It's okay. I'll wait for Mario though. That game is going to be incredible.

Re: Nindies Video Showcase Coming Later This Month, Expect Lots Of Nintendo Switch Games
@G-Boy Those are some good ideas, actually! I suppose it could work with a bit of creativity.
Re: Matching Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons Sure Look Pretty
@Deadlyblack Or maybe invisible joycons to reference the fact that nobody bought the Wii U

@G-Boy How would Undertale be like on a console? I can't see it working out.
Re: Virtual Console Will Not Be Ready For Nintendo Switch Launch
@Mart1ndo He's just some random person on the internet. How is he ruining anything for anybody? Let him speak his mind, and agree to disagree.
Re: Video: Watch Eiji Aonuma Unbox The Legend of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Limited Edition
The temptation to buy the new console at launch for Zelda is very, very real. I'm not sure if I should cave in or not.

Re: Harvest Moon 64 Heading to Wii U in North America This Week as Part of Anniversary Celebrations
What's a good place to start? I got one of the PS1 titles on the Vita and it didn't really grab me. Or should I just pick up Stardew instead?
Re: RiME Will Take Around 10 Hours To Complete "If You Really Want To Take Your Time"
This is fine though? Especially for what it's trying to accomplish. I don't really like games that overstay their welcome.
If you're still not convinced may I add Portal to the examples of "good and short" games. It just comes down to the price.
Re: Video: New Japanese Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Commercial Contains A Massive Reveal
@Bunkerneath Yes... that's how spoiler warnings work. Besides, the title wasn't enough for you?
I get why people are sensitive over spoilers, but use your common sense next time.

Re: Talking Point: The Nintendo Switch Could Revive Local Multiplayer
Nothing beats local multiplayer! Some of my fondest childhood memories come from playing co-op games with friends and family on the DS and Wii.

Re: Amazon Japan Suggests That the Fire Emblem Echoes amiibo Unlock a Special Dungeon
I want to be angry about this but I really can't. The game is going to be great anyway and the extra dungeon probably won't be that cool.

Re: Nintendo Confirms Expansion Pass DLC for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Paying for a brand new story and content? Sure, I'm down for that. BoTW is obviously a labor of love and I'd be happy to pay for more.
Paying for a hard mode and a challenge dungeon, stuff that's usually in a normal Zelda game anyway? I don't see how anyone could defend this practice.
Re: Talking Point: Splatoon 2 is Set to be a Vital Early Arrival on Nintendo Switch
@BigWhoady No, you just sound like a bit of a tool.

Re: Splatoon 2 Global Testfire To Take Place During Nintendo Switch Launch Month
Nice. The more people get to play Splatoon, the better.

Re: Amazon UK Offers Nintendo Switch Downloads, Cost More Than Boxed Equivalents
@The__Goomba Digital distribution is really great on Steam. It's okay on PS4, lots of good sales there. Not too sure about Xbox.
Nintendo still has a lot to learn in the digital department.
