Is Muhammad bin Salman still a shareholder of Nintendo ? Knowing that Singapore is a tax haven with virtually no political opposition, one can see the democratic values of Nintendo which is a multinational like any other. One for the money, two for the more and more standardised and pricey video games (and Legos, and Happy meal, and bland movies, and real estate, etc...)
I found Lego Voyagers was the most appealing game of the Direct. It's published by Annapurna, which seems to have slightly changed their artistic views to make more $$$. The daughter of Larry Ellison eventually became a business-as-usual adult, I suppose...
The best entries of the series were released within the first 5 years (the first 10 years if, as I do, you consider Yoshi's Island as part of the gang).
The wait for "Super Mario World 2" seemed sooo long back in the days, when I was a kid.
And I'm still waiting for a sequel to "A link to the past" on Super Nes !
@NintendoJunkie My comment doesn't contain an ounce of irony. There were enough original and intriguing game mechanics that made me stay but I found Undertale disturbing and unpleasant by the way the story unfolds. I couldn't tell you more without spoiling this already bitter sauce.
Just don't put too much trust in that skeleton character that sticks with you along that game, which has been widely praised, but turns out to be a sadistic moral lesson, in my opinion.
Keep in mind I'm in minority, but still...
No. This game made me feel terrible and guilty. The twist at the end was imagined by a pervert, and I felt like I was abused by the creator of this horrendous game and by the characters who inhabit in it.
Nintendo capitalisation = 100.000.000.000 $ = 1/4 net worth of the current Senior Advisor to the President of the United States = 50 millions times my wage.
"The heart of the matter lies in production costs" ...and the brain of the matter lies in profitability rate. Don't want to know where the cojones of the matter lie.
The weakest moments of the Iwata and Miyamoto show are the shots on that poor 3DS screen and that messy map and that CG Victory of Samothrace seen from the top or whatever angle... I hate audioguides even more if they are videoguides.
All things considered, writing the script of "Outrun" requires much more talent than adapting, say "Gone with the wind" (based on a novel) or "Amadeus" (based on a play), because there is no story to rely on at all. ( my attempt to prove Hollywood is still getting better)
So, Rudd got his paycheck for both the commercial and the "rather lovely little conversation" (aka "professionalism") just like he (and his colleagues) does with industrial movies and press junket, and we're supposed to get sentimental ?
I've read a lot of rumours. That one about the Philippines crew who mutiny because Brussels sprouts were served at every dinner (Nintendo owes half of sprout fields on Earth, it's not well known). That other one that claims those Switch 2 are actually on a cruise, going to the Cyclades islands.
I watched "Perfect day", a Wim Wenders film which take place in Tokyo (the main character is a fulfilled public toilet cleaner who listens to Lou Reed - hence the title) Some peaceful scenes in a huge, beautiful (and super clean) public bath.
I've played "Akka Arrh" for 15 minutes... There was nothing to do apart watching chains of explosion, and trying to figure out what the point was (I've never figured out) ---> "Uninstall game".
15 seconds of this trailer have burnt my retina, so "no way Jose" (I meant Jeff).

749$ is the price i'd ask to keep that "absollute thing of beauty" (dixit Yosher) at home for one month.

Indeed. It's been a while that Mario swapped his plumber overalls for the international business class traveler suit.

Re: With Switch 2 Looming, Nintendo Has Surpassed Another Monster Financial Milestone
How to put things, such figures, in perspective ?

Everything's normal.

Re: F-Zero 99 Has Been Updated To Version 1.6.0, Here's What You Can Expect
@Moroboshi876
Yes: F-Zero 99 1.7 : the offline edition.
98 decent artificial opponents in such a game must be more challenging to achieve than with Tetris 99.
