Pokemon Go was a global sensation on the smartphone 2 years ago. Pokemon let's Go is trying to attract those smartphone users with it's back to basic formula.
As always, Nintendo is too late. No one cares about Pokemon Go anymore, making a dumbed down Pokemon on Switch will only disappoint hardcore fans.
@Varkster After seeing this year's E3 where Nintendo only had one major game to show, and it resulted in shares dropping... Sony probably thought it's best not to attend when you've got nothing to show.
They are now developing PS5 and new launch titles for this new console, but it's too early to show. All their resources are focused on PS5, they got nothing new to show for PS4 anymore.
E3 2020 will be the grand opening of PS5, Sony will make a grand entrance... just a couple months before the Tokyo Olympics where Sony will launch their 8K TV in Japan (Btw, NHK is already broadcasting in 8K). You can pretty much bet on PS5 having 8K output.
After the drought that is Wii U, Nintendo must be feeling really proud to have that many games. No more nitpicking these days, all indies welcome on board, put whatever you want in the eShop to increase the number.
@CupidStunt Yeah but it's only popular on the Gameboy, that proved that people only like playing this as a handheld game. Today most gamers will only sit in front of the TV to play games like Red Dead, Tetris and simple puzzles are meant for portable system or mobile.
@FragRed @imgrowinglegs Maybe a port for the New 3DS? The 3D effect can simulate some of the visuals, yes it's not as immersive but it's definitely more comfortable as a handheld game.
Besides Indies, don't you find it strange that all the best AAA on Switch (non-cartoony) are demonic games? Doom, Bayonetta, Dark Souls, Diablo 3, etc?
If they can make it for Switch, then they can easily make it for the phone.
I bet you $10 that when Blizzard was making Diablo 3 Eternal for Switch, they thought 'since we had ported D3 to an ARMS device, why not make a version for smartphone, it will be easy.'
Books, magazines, newspapers: anything printed are obsolete.
Anything that can't adapt to the digital age will become extinct. Game changes due to updates, how's a book going to reflect those changes? If Nintendo adds new characters to Smash, it won't be included in the book. Print materials are really outdated.
Played this on PSVR 2 years ago. This game flopped back then not because it's not good but because they were selling it at AAA prices. The game was also too difficult, together with a lack of content and high price = failure.
Did you guys know that Miyamoto doesn't like video games at all? He is more interested in music, working at Nintendo is just a job. That's why when Nintendo interviewed for applicants, they look for non-gamers to work there. They want employees who can bring their other interest/creativity to video games, not doing video games for the sake of video games.
This explained the unexpected and strange ideas they have at Nintendo compared to other gaming companies. The source of inspiration for their games came from non-gaming origin.
Handheld players will lose to docked players due to latency. Nintendo needs to show if the players are playing docked or undocked and matched players accordingly.
Nintendo is going revealed that Waluigi is in the game, and the crowd went crazy... not knowing this was all planned. Take away something then give it back, it will tastes so sweet.

Unlike Russia, USA is a tropical paradise with DK.
Re: Feature: The History Of The Civilization Series
Played this yesterday. The text on the Switch's screen looks slightly blurry, that means it's not running at 720p in portable mode.
I won't be playing this on TV, touchscreen is the selling point here.

Re: Nintendo Embraces Opportunity To Share New Games At E3 2019 As Sony Opts Out
Sony has a reason for not attending next year E3.
They are now developing PS5 and new launch titles for this new console, but it's too early to show. All their resources are focused on PS5, they got nothing new to show for PS4 anymore.

Pirates had started playing this today, it was leaked.
Looks like a Baby Pokemon game.
Re: Lumines Remastered On Switch Is The Best-Selling Version Of The Game

In a darkened bathroom, you sit on the toilet projecting Youtube on the tile wall... and you heard "Hello there, lovely people...".
Re: Lumines Remastered On Switch Is The Best-Selling Version Of The Game
Bring Tetris Effect to Switch, it will sell 10x more than PS4.
No one will sit in front of the TV playing Tetris, it's a portable game since it's conception.

Any Console/PC games released on Mobile will be doomed.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry Takes A Look At Diablo III: Eternal Collection On Nintendo Switch
Too bad the D3 icon looks so ugly, it disfigured the menu on my Switch.
One thing that all reviews failed to mentioned is the nice HD rumble, there are little touches like when you level up it buzzed to let you know.
Re: Guide: Spirits in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Explained
Why do they have to make the game so complicated? Putting Yokai Watch in Smash?
