This looks really fun... shame it's kind of bare bones in terms of adding new features and plays mostly like the original but if it's broken don't fix it? I'll most likely get it anyway.
I'm kind of disappointed the Switch won't have Wii U Pro Controller support... did they give a reason for that? The new one is kind of pricey. Not even complaining, just want to know why they'd do that.
Jesus, some people here will defend Nintendo no matter what stupid stunts they pull. The pricing of the accessories is a legitimate complaint, not everyone has money pouring out of their pockets. But yeah, we HATE Nintendo because we don't eat every little thing from the palm of their hand! How ungrateful of us.
@DanteSolablood Agree 100%. What's wrong with having expectations? These certain commenters belittling or even straight up attacking others because they dislike how the Switch is turning out is honestly pathetic lol
Hoping they have more surprises on the way. The FE direct was a nice announcements, I hope we get small things like that to keep us interested until E3.
@nab1 I don't get the "DUDE POSITIVITY LMAO" people. Let people have their own opinions. Those who don't like the Switch will have fun on other systems, those who do will have fun on the Switch.
I'm not feeling it at all. Like I said, this just feels like a repeat of the Wii U... a cute gimmick that everyone can live without, plenty of game droughts, no third party support, etc.
I'll get one eventually for Mario (And Zelda, although it's not as big of a deal for me as some people) but this wasn't good. The paid online is extra salt in the wound, as I'd only likely use it for Splatoon (Lack of third party devs can make or break a subscription like this).
I can't go through with the "muh positivity" vibe some people have here, I'm really, really disappointed.
Nothing really convinced me to get one at launch, this just looks like another Wii U to me. And while the Wii U was ok, I don't want another repeat of game shortages and a short lifespan (Which Nintendo have entirely to blame for themselves by the way).
All I'm saying is I haven't seen anything that shouts "This is different, we've learned from our mistakes!" although the few games that do interest me like Mario and Spla2oon look good. Maybe I'll get one next year.
@Syrek24 Not that I don't disagree with what you're trying to say but he didn't even mention Fire Emblem in his post. Also "go back to ___" is the weakest argument ever.
I still play it on a nearly daily basis. It's an amazing game in my opinion, and while flawed, still an incredibly fun and fresh experience. Nintendo really went all out in the creativity department and it shows.
So I take it we're getting something with AZ next week? Doesn't seem terribly exciting for the last episode, I'm hoping for some surprise bonus episodes in Alola.
I liked the Wii a lot more. Better library in my opinion.
However, the Wii U has Bayonetta 2 and Splatoon. Unlike most people I still play the latter on a near daily basis. I don't regret buying the console one bit.
@Mega_Yarn_Poochy If you took the time to read the comments section you'd see a lot of people complaining about this. I personally think it's sort of scummy but I wasn't going to buy the game anyway so it doesn't affect me.
"But no, this is an indie developer, and they can do no wrong." Still don't understand this weird idea that people are biased towards indie devs.
@ALinkttPresent It's a port of an existing game. We've all played it without the gimped features, I think it's not unfair to judge.
@ThomasBW84 "Online doesn't matter anyway lol I'm going to ignore all the creative and fun levels that were only made possible thanks to online sharing" is a pretty petty argument, although I agree with most of what you said to an extent. (edit: woops I read that totally wrong that's what I get for writing stupid comments when I'm tired)
So Robobot, Spirit of Justice and SMT4:A didn't get nominated? Yet Clash Royale and Pokemon Go, two mediocre mobile games did? Ridiculous, but I didn't expect any less.

Re: Gallery: Here's What The Nintendo Switch Looks Like From (Almost) Every Angle
@Ogbert Yeah, it makes sense. Still a shame though, I don't care about the new features at all. Oh well.

FE 4/5 remake please
Re: Soapbox: The Switch Presentation Was Good, but Not Perfect
@Pj1 Nothing so far, expect it to be ignored as much as it was this past generation. GCN VC about a year after launch if we're lucky.

Re: Video: LEGO City: Undercover Re-Release Gets a Shiny New Trailer
@Anti-Matter what's wrong with GTA, or other "adult" games?
Re: Video: LEGO City: Undercover Re-Release Gets a Shiny New Trailer
Nice, never got the original so I'll be happy to pick this up on the PS4.
Re: Shovel Knight Is Coming To Nintendo Switch With Gender Swapping And Co-Op Modes
@Mega_Yarn_Poochy Sounds like you're complaining just for the sake of complaining. At the end of the day it's not even a big deal.
Re: Gallery: A Close Look at the McDonald's UK Super Mario Happy Meal Toys, Including TV Commercial
I really like the Piranha Plant one. It's cute.
Re: Nintendo Switch Presentation Given Estimated Runtime of One Hour by Niconico
I'm actually really excited now.
Re: Poll: Are You Optimistic for Nintendo's 2017?
Yes, I'm optimistic. Can't be worse than Nintendo's performance in 2016.
Re: New Features for 'Mario Kart 8 Switch' Appear in Box-Art
Sounds too good to be true, but if there really are 6 new cups (And it's not just DLC) I will be so excited.
Also I hope this means Bowser Jr. and Diddy are finally playable!

Re: Feature: A Year in Development - Yacht Club Games on Digging In With Shovel Knight
@Zach777 But the game was released in 2014. This is just DLC. This stuff takes time and effort you know.

Re: Video: Pokémon Generations Episode 17: The Investigation, is Now Live
@Calllack AZ is on the promotional poster, so I think his backstory is a safe bet for next week's episode.

Re: Pokémon: I Choose You Movie Gets Its First Trailer
Gen 1 pandering is usually lame but this is interesting. I hope this doesn't mean we'll have to wait one more year for Marshadow though.
Re: The First Pokémon Sun and Moon 'Global Mission' Was a Bit of a Flop
Festival Plaza is garbage. Bring back a PSS equivalent for Stars.
Re: Feature: It's Time to Vote for Your Nintendo Life Game of the Year Awards
Sun and Moon was my GOTY as far as Nintendo systems go. Great game.
Re: Yooka-Laylee Rattles Away From Wii U Release
@therealgamer Jeez, calm down. You're spamming the comment section at this point. Also nice generalisation.
@MajinSoul Whiny 12 year olds aren't indicative of a console's userbase. Nintendo fans get a ton of bad rep too thanks to a certain minority as well.

On the third island. Have about 100 or so Pokemon so far.
Re: Pokkén Tournament to Get Another New Fighter in Arcades
What's the point if it's not coming to the Wii U? Pokken was such a missed opportunity in general.
