@BlueOcean I never said they didn't, and I own all three consoles and have great games for each. This mud slinging contest (which is one sided considering Sony already said deal with it) is just getting old and ridiculous. And if you believe for one second that this TV ad would even exist if either Nintendo or MS was in the lead, man I feel sorry for you!
@BlueOcean Awful lot of salt in the ocean it seems! For how pathetic they are, they're still coming out with great games and selling more consoles. Truly pathetic!
The second and third place runners in the console race teaming up to take shots at the leader? What a concept! It doesn't make them look desperate or petty at all
That's actually surprising to me considering all the really great games that were announced and shown other than....another Smash Bros. Are we sure it wasn't the largest amount of tweets because people were saying "enough Smash Bros, where's the other games for the year"
Jumped on this again at $15, and I will say they did a fantastic job on the port. Runs well, haven't had any major issues, and looks good on the small screen (minus the tiny text). GET. THIS. GAME.
These deals are, as usual, not very good. To compare, I just picked up South Park Fractured Gold Edition on PS4's E3 sale for $30, while on Switch it's $70. Yikes.
I'm sure with 80 million consoles sold and a killer exclusive line-up in the pipe, they're quaking in their boots over their decision to not share their player base
Honestly I hope Sony sticks to their stance on this, just so we can see all the teenage rage online for everyone who spent money on this and can't play it on the go with all of their swag
I was interested until forced motion controls and full price. I'll be patient and wait for the actual switch pokemon game to see if they screw that one up as well.
Focusing on the one game we all knew was coming but didn't need info on except a release date, not even touching the one game we all want, and announcing more ports. A big womp womp from Nintendo.
@Menchi187 Of course he can't fathom it, he stands on a soapbox 95% of the time with his head in the clouds, screaming down his unproven "facts" at the unwashed masses.
@Wouwter Can't be surprised at this point, any website gaming related or not will find a way to put Fortnite in a headline since it's so popular right now, being free and "kid-friendly"
I'm not that interested anymore, Nintendo of America can bring preorders here. They really need to get their collective s*** together on these mini consoles.
Honestly this "deal" is pretty meh, they'd have better luck selling a "home console" package. Take out the joycons, throw in the dock, hdmi, charging adapter, and a pro controller, knock $50 off, and bam, console competitor.
Did it really blow them away that their game sold more in a closed ecosystem of a couple hundred games than on a platform that releases thousands of indie games a year? Really?
I don't think i would buy an N64 classic to be honest, but mainly because I have the carts of the best games of the system already. I really don't enjoy the controller though, and I could see them charging another $80 for even fewer games based on the way they jumped up from NES to SNES mini.
"Mega Man 8 is arguably the most infamous entry in the whole classic series, and stands as easily the weakest entry in the series"
Lost me there. MM5, 6, and 10 are easily worse than MM8 by a long shot. My opinion of course, but it really sounds like a classic case of this being the first time the reviewer has ever played MM8, and was thrown off by the (mostly) positive changes.
In all honesty, who wanted it on Switch? Every time COD is mentioned, Nintendo die hards turn up their noses like someone just pooped on their Wind Waker WiiU.
I was thinking about buying this right away to support the devs, but I'm going to wait and see how it is performance-wise. It ran ok for the most part on PC, but there was a lot of bugs (pun not intended) and framerate problems that were pretty frustrating.
It's an OK game, but very easy and very short for the price. I completed it in about 4 hours and there wasn't much motivation to jump in for another playthrough.
We're not seriously trying to compare what Sony and MS offered a decade ago to what Nintendo is doing now, are we? That's an awfully dirty and busted soapbox you're standing on. They can't even give us decent local save backup options (something other consoles have had for years) or throw voice chat on the system, but they're going to charge for cloud saves, and their less than stellar online MP system? Yikes.
I haven't played a single switch game online, and I have enough retro games through classic emulators, i think i'm gonna pass on this. Good for those that play online and don't have these games though
Not bad, a dollar a game per year with more to come. Maybe they'll eventually roll out a "pick 20 for $20" when they get enough VC games on the Switch.
Of the very few times I actually tried using the joycons while my pro controller was charging, I did have the left joycon issue. Which pretty much made it so i'll never let my pro controller die again. Joycons suck.
This is truly a fantastic game. I've had it on steam for over a year and it's evolution from early concept to final game is amazing. Lots of challenge, great gameplay mechanics, and several upgrades make this the game mighty number 9 could never be
Yet another clickbait console war article. Imagine how much room there would be for some quality articles if it wasn't clogged with all of this garbage.
@rjejr Are they even allowing for trade-ins on labo? That'd be interesting to see a gamestop full of pre-owned cardboard kits marked down to 65.99! Enjoy God of War though, quite looking forward to it myself!
This was probably the lesser of two evils for Sega to be honest. Their other option would've been have nintendo themselves make it, but then there wouldn't be enough supply to meet demand, and they would've gone with short cords and a dumb proprietary controller port.
Have they confirmed it's the remastered version coming to Switch? The video posted was for the original PS4 announcement, so that really doesn't tell us anything.....

@Nintendoforlife Except it's not, because you can access it from multiple different platforms, as stated in previous articles.

Re: Feature: Wishing Upon A Star With Pode Developer Henchman & Goon
"We really feel Pode belongs on Nintendo Switch" translates into "it would've been financial suicide to release this on Steam first".
I agree. It's very hard to stand out on Steam nowadays, this was their smartest move.

Check. Your. Work. Son.

Re: Nintendo Download: 19th April (North America)
$30 for wild guns, really? It's a decent game, but being that old at that price for it's short length and limited gameplay is about $20 too much.

Sounds enticing, but I'll hold out for the Mega pack that's coming to other consoles. Unless they're like, $3 apiece, then I'll bite on a few.
