I was surprised to see the model done so well, but then I saw the jiggle physics and I am like.. er, this is where they went a bit far.

Yikes, people sure are getting mad.

You guys are taking this waaay the wrong way. Think of it like Disney or Universal. Both are huge entertainment companies which started with film but expanded to other forms of entertainment such as theme parks, TV shows, merchandise, etc. Nintendo wants to expand in such ways, to strengthen the value of their IP. If someone lets say is a big Mario fan, they not only will buy Mario games but will go to a theme park with Mario rides and etc. They are a business and want people to love their IP. Y’all are dumb to even think they would stop making video games x3

@dew12333 You okay there bud?

Just cuz a journalist wrote an article online doesn’t mean the rumor is true.

I have no intentions to try VR, so Switch having VR or not isn’t important to me. Its easy for a developer to throw together a series of mini games like Valve does and just do that but I think Nintendo is above the level that Valve has stooped to. Yeah there’s other VR ports of preexisting games like Skyrim and Fallout 4 but I think a lot of developers aren’t even sure what to do with VR. Imo I think VR will either exist as a slightly popular niche as it does now, or will fade away.

Maybe open select stores but with a warehouse style layout. Keep everything in big quantities above the shelves like Cotco but on a more consumer friendly layout similar to Home Depot/Lowe’s. Have only a few stores but the stores can act also as a warehouse with parcel shipping within the store’s area. On days like Black Friday the extra space above shelves will be very useful. Keeps things fast since toys that are in demand won’t have to go to a DC but to the store itself. Also their presense should be more online, but with pick up at store options as well if customers want product sooner. I dunno just a random idea.

To investors all they see are those expensive IPs, Vivendi probably wanted to get their hands on that and push them to be some mobile game studio. Some companies it makes sense to go public, but for a game studio where your IPs are your driving force for income I find that to me risky.

Never thought I’d see so many boobs in a NL comment section.

Of course not the entire number is true to active users, neither is the entire Switch install base. Not every Switch owner is an active user.

@Orwellianson I wouldn’t say its bad to be a fan of the CD-I, as I personally have quite a bit of interest in it based on its strange history. Of course if people think the console was successful and amazing then yeah they may be wrong in the head. The console was garbage but still fascinating in a time where there were many different formats battling for superiority at the time.

I didn’t like this meme at all when I first saw it, somehow every day I like it less and less. If it was poking more fun at the ridiculousness of the super crown powerup I would find it funny but this just seems like an excuse for more people to obsess over some waifu of the week.

Not enough stability

How about remaster WAW and put it on the Switch, or maybe just port the OG over. Game still holds up to this day

I ain’t driving several hours to the Bay Area for that, why not just have every Best Buy host it.

I’ll admit I have downloaded a lot of roms, I try to only get roms I have physical copies of. But as others have mentioned it is an odd “gray area” when it comes to legal stuff. I have had quite a few friends which pirate games, also download roms because they can’t afford games. I do think that is wrong as things cost money for a reason. But if someone is downloading roms for other productive reasons such as historical preservation, studying, or game development I think that is fine. But as I said in a previous comment if a company wants to limit the amount of games they release they have every right to. And people will find a way to download them for free which I have no issue with. But once people start trying to say they have some god given right to download those games for free then I think that isn’t right. Everybody steals something in their life, but you don’t hear people saying how they have the right to rob houses or steal cars. Anyways that’s my 2 cents

@Gelantious But if a company wants to distribute only a select amount of products they are entitled to do so. If people haven’t been able to play these rare games, them downloading them for free offer no benefit to the original creators.

DRAGONS
Eh looks alright

I noticed something someone said in the comments on one of the articles pertaining to the ROM site takedowns. Not only were many of the sites giving away games for free, they were using many character IPs to represent their sites and downloads. There’s a difference between being a fan of Nintendo games and ripping their characters off to represent your own product. If you’re a budding game designer try to make something original, it may be impossible to get noticed if you don’t have Mario or Pikachu as star of your game but it’ll payoff more in the long run.

@Heavyarms55 It’s one of those super highly rated indie games that kinda fades away on its own. The fanbase and media blew it out of proportions (had like a 99 on metacritic after being released) and then suddenly just fell behind. I started playing it after launch because a friend gifted it to me, I thoroughly enjoyed it but after an hour or so I felt no desire to go back and finish. Maybe I should go about that now hah.

I think it’s a smart PR stunt on Nintendo’s part.. their online has been viewed as lacking in the past so they are having third parties who are experienced with online gaming explain features for them so Switch Online can appear as a quality service others can get behind.

Sony sold so many PS2s because it was at a perfect time where everybody wanted a DVD player. That or well, it had good games offered too ha.

If you search deep enough you’ll find some private rom storage sites for historical purposes, I found one that I use to download roms to test emulators and what not. Or get some rare/overpriced games I can’t get. I would happily pay for said games on the Switch or another platform I use if it was offered but I have to resort to downloading online for now. Places like emuparadise and coolroom etc may try to say they are preserving history when we all know what those sites have been used for. I just wish there was a way people could appreciate games without worry of people using it to steal to save a couple bucks. Maybe there should be come controlled archive online, maybe people can pay a subscription (you know like paying for a ticket to a museum)

@RupeeClock The Zelda concerts always had surprise arrangements from games not advertised (Like Link’s Awakening) maybe Sunshine would make a secret appearance which would be very fun!

@Cobalt The visuals alone are what got me to buy it, had an incredibly experience.

I really have no issues with how they’ve been doing things, unfortunately I don’t make enough money to buy games when they come out so I usually end up picking up games after a good paycheck. Recently I just got Mario and Rabbids and that game is really fun, I plan on picking up Octopath this week as well. Of course the only thing I wish for is more third party but I play a lot of games on my PC as well.
EDIT: Also I really want more racing games!

What I don’t understand is that it was a big honor for Nintendo to come to Bethesda so early with the Switch, I understand that Nintendo wanted Skyrim on their console but Bethesda couldn’t think of anything else to do? I just find it odd that just Skyrim is all they planned for.

Where’s Neo Turf Masters!

@Anti-Matter There doesn’t seem to be a whole lot that you like

Don’t really understand the negative attention towards this, I quite enjoy the idea and always made cardboard crafts when i was a kid. The garage mode is what sells it for me, already plan on making the guitar and a few other instruments. But of course people have to think the development of this is taking away from games like Prime 4 and Smash 5, ah well.

Those headsets are way to expensive for what they are

Love the song reference

@doubleohdan What?

@the8thark Yeah I am still bummed Neo Turf Masters got a 7..

@Anti-Matter Not really sure how this game has any comparison to DDR..

@Bengals76 But what they’re doing keeps the game relevant far after its release. They built a solid game, and after the game comes out the devs decided to make more characters for free. I don’t see the problem here.

@-Green- omg I just have to say your icon is so cute

This is what I take it as. Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, pretty much every AAA game company has been using mobile devices as a way to put out their IP to gain interest in their products. I think Microsoft wants to use that idea but open it up, putting games on other devices that aren’t their own to gain interest in their products. No Halo 6 or Forza 7 likely won’t be on your Nintendo Switch. But what I do see is a Forza, Halo, or even a Rare game “spin off” put onto the Switch or PS4. Maybe a small arcade-sim version of Forza 7 with limited features but still has the taste of Forza. That’ll get people to want to be interested in Microsoft’s product and maybe want to buy a PC or Xbox One X as a new console rather than one from Sony.

I see a page on Neo Turf Masters! That game is seriously under appreciated

Thank god I hate Sony animation

@Menchi187 There’s a way to be constructive and critical without name calling. That’s just going too low and ruins any credibility of your statements.

PICROSSSS
No seriously I needed my picross fix on switch

I bought Arms day one thinking I’d play it more but... I really haven’t found the want to play the game. I tend to find most fighting games come across as rather bland to me.
Though I am glad to see that it’s still getting regular updates.

I’m playing the remix 10 mode and wow it’s actually incredibly addictive. Also paired with that kick ass music.

@ricklongo or maybe I'm seeing the same people who complained about motion controls are the ones who want them now :>

My question is that why didn't they just make this a DLC for the original Sun and Moon. I'm not a huge Pokémon fan so I won't be double dipping.

So people used to complain about motion controls and now people want motion controls? Come on just pick one already

If you want a really addictive Neo-Geo game get Neo Turf Masters. I'm not a sports fan at all but that golf game is seriously just a plain fun arcade game.

@BoFiS Though I think this app concept is kind of more of a companion app, rather than Nintendo's original idea of it being a necessary dedicated app. You don't need the Xbox or PS app to use all the functions of those consoles but they are very nice when you are away from the system. That's how the app should be, and how this redesigned app is portrayed.

It's so weird to me how upset people got over the game during the fest. It's not like some huge competitive title, it's a casual work out app with a Pokémon skin on it. If they want to play Pokémon just go play any of the several titles that have come out the past 20 years.
