Gris. Feels like the game Bound on PS4 but better. Most artsy looking games have little gameplay but this Gris does has a lot of interesting ideas in platforming puzzle. This is not just a good looking game, it's fun to play.
Nintendo just realised that most of their games have no stories, so they can't be spoiled by game streaming videos. Especially at the launch of Smash Bros, game streaming is free advertising for them.
KI:U can't be ported to Switch because Pen is mightier than the Joycon. After using the stylus in that game, you will know why they went for it: it's as good as a mouse in aiming, maybe even better.
Sakurai should start working on a Smash Bros RPG. He already added some RPG flavour to Ultimate, why not go all the way and make a Smash RPG? Maybe something similar to Mario and Luigi RPG but with dozens of characters to choose from, and instead of mini games or fighting with stats, let the fight in random encounter be regular Smash game.
Don't you think it's strange that Nintendo includes even minor characters but purposely excluded Waluigi? Even 3rd party characters were added but not Waluigi, their own? I guess blood is thinner than water at Nintendo... but knowing Nintendo, there has to be a reason.
You are collecting 'cards', levelling them up like any good old RPG, using them like Pokemon... but in the end it's still regular Smash Bros when actually doing the fight.
There's a puzzle/strategy element in all the fight that requires you think which fighter+Spirit fits best. There's a stage where flying Yoshi will constantly kick you when you comes close, so a downward thrust attack with Captain Falcon is the best solution.
A sh*t game + a sh*t port = a pile of sh*t. Similar to Rollercoaster Tycoon Adventure... why do they even bother making these type low quality game? The people who buy them are to be blamed for supporting these type of crapware, then again they were punished with a crap game.

I don't think Nintendo has surpassed the creative gameplay design since they made this game.
You are literally playing 2 games at once with 2 screens. One is the outside world as Bowser, the other is Mario and Luigi inside Bowser's body. The interactions between the outside and inside world are filled with so many creative ideas. The LOL writing makes the game even more compelling.
For a Smash Bros with the most characters, you only start with 8 characters... the least in all Smash Bros. Also, the Adventure mode is just Smash with Hearthstone, not so innovative.
A lot of the DS games won't work on Switch because the mic is missing. Games like Zelda Phantom Hourglass and Bowser Inside Story required mic.
Why didn't Nintendo make Nintendog for the smartphone? It will be huge, this is the Nintendo game that will make lots of money on the phone. A digital pet that is with you at all time, it can even beep the phone and annoyed you like Tamagochi.
Unlike previous updates, this new firmware actually disrupted piracy. But only for a while, but it should be long enough to make Smash Bros unplayable on Jack Sparrow's Switch for quite some time.

Re: Review: Gris - A Deeply Affecting Piece Of Interactive Art That Is Utterly Essential, Despite Its Brevity
This game is psychically related to Gorogoa. One is a platformer, the other a puzzle game, but the art-style, music and mood is the same.
Re: Charles Martinet Receives Guinness World Record For Voicing Mario 100 Times
@ShadJV Does anyone actually read the articles here? I only read the titles, can't be bothered with the rest... so many words.
Re: Charles Martinet Receives Guinness World Record For Voicing Mario 100 Times
Why is that a world record? Against who?
Nancy Cartwright has been doing Bart Simpson's voice for 30 years, why isn't that a record? (Btw, she was paid over $300,000 per episode of Simpson)

Re: Rumour: German Retailer Lists Assassin's Creed Compilation For Nintendo Switch
It's Assassin Creed Chronicles, 2D side scrollers similar to Mark of the Ninja. Only a compilation of those games can fit in a cart.
If Ubisoft really wants to put a 3D AC game on Switch, it will be Assassin's Creed III: Liberation, a Vita port.
