I'm not a fan of these waves sales they are doing.
Just put them all on sale at once rather than trying to create Fomo

At best this film will be a funny family friendly with something for fans to spot but still a money grab at worst it will be a cynical family friendly, insults the fans money grab

Like if it's enjoyable great cash grab away. Like it's not going be Citizen Kane or a story that had to be told. It is just about a brand at the end of the day.

Night trap is and always was awful.
If it wasn't for the hearings showing it as an example of violent video games I can't imagine it would be on anything other than lists of awful fmv games.

E3 is sadly outdated and has been a shadow of its former self. It might get one more year as a revamp towards whatever trend they try to chase at best.

So long E3 I'll miss what you once were back when it mattered.

Gotham Knights was reduced on amazon and the online shops so might explain its mysterious entry here.

Resident evil 4 deserves its strong sales its just an amazing remake

This crowd have no idea what their community wants at all or doesn't care. These changes seem particularly dumb.

Very cool of them

@GameOtaku let's face facts until they announced eshop was closing and created a panic buying frenzy of fomo it was a ghost town and a dead system.
The ability to buy natively on the system was already gone for years and very few people used their 3ds anymore (cant remember last one i saw in the wild) and most games people panic bought they were never going to buy during the 3ds life time at all.
It's more sad nostalgia that it's closing than this great tragedy.
All things have to end eventually and as you point out there are other ways.

Why are people complaining about the eshop closure as if it came out of nowhere and that millions of us still used the eshop.
It's a bit of a bummer but 3ds came out over a decade ago and has been dead for years.

People (mainly non Nintendo fans) laughed and mocked Nintendo and said it was doomed now when it began doing directs over live E3 shows but looking back it was the blow that eventually killed E3.

I'll miss the excite of the big dates and the cringe of live performances but seems no need for E3 anymore and their move towards influencers was final nail in the coffin.

Well with 3ds eshop closing and payments stopping this was always on the chopping block too.
Took ages to load so I'm guessing a very old server was switched off.

We have Ulimate we don't need Melee remastered.
Plus ypu change anything the Mellee moaners will come out.
Just throw it up with other Gamecube titles on NSO or eshop done

In fairness don't you have to have NSO and it's limited to 4 per customer for the account in total. Pretty sure it says life time limit so don't think scalpers are a big problem here.

I guess I'm just a bit sick of it being unnecessarily hard to play all the Sega console era Sonic games. Like a collection of everything up to dreamcast titles or even Heroes and GBA ones in one place would be great.

Not bad but with the screen crunch could they not instead use master system versions or just include both.
Also why not throw in the missing megadrive/satarn games of Sonic 3d, spin ball, sonic R etc and what is it going take for them to release Knuckles Chaotix again.

I wonder if they will revert to Olafs original Santa design

Marketing or not it's probably never going be a big series. It's a niche genre I'm delighted with turn based Strategy but others it just isn't their cup of tea. Fire emblem has more character personailty etc which helped it. Outside COs units are faceless canon fodder here

So far in Europe the sales are disappointing. No capcom games and NiS/Atlus ones that went up are missing a few titles like Persona Q2 isn't on sale for example.

Like it's last week you'd think be 30 pages of sales not 6 (with half being the generic always on sale shovel titles)

Doesnt the 3ds have a limit of 300 of those game lauching windows before it can't display others. I guess he could use multiple SD cards but that's alot.

Japan one isn't even clear its for a game without searching for gameboy logo

Like you can make a competing cola drink but you can't put it in a red can with a while swirl and call it koke

This looks just way too similar to advance wars like If you showed some pictures from both I think people wouldn't be able to say which is which.
I'd suspect nintendos lawyers may shut it down.

@Frobodobo expansion packs were just dlc with a separate physical disk. They did exact same stuff as modern dlc except I needed to put in my age of Kings or yuris revenge disk to play (and have original installed too).
So I don't get the dlc is new argument they just changed name cause its a download now rather than a separate disk with its own box and manual.
Only new if you were consoles only until likes of ps3/xbox 360 or if you had a dreamcast

Great but really need more of these kinda sales before the end. Like surely everyone should be knocking at least 25% -50% off

Not worth it at all I know two others sold for mad money but I suspect this is proof that there's a limited market for these investment cards one I'd suspect is creating an artificially high price for pokemon cards.

Why the 3 button one, I know it's the main one in the west but is so inferior to the SNES and 6 button one.

In fairness to Atlus they have had alot of decent sales on 3ds way more than most publishers/developers but seems they messed up calling last one final and seemingly would break Japanese law if has another final sale so pulled it.

If you think of it as half the price of course its not worth it but if you think of Side Dish as the dlc (presuming its similiar to octo expansion) and this as a comestic preorder bonus than its fine.

MS "hey nintendo want Cod?"
Ninty "what, nah I'm ok"
MS "even if it breaks Sonys heart?"
Ninty "where do I sign."

Been to japan one the power band is a must to get the most out of it, particularly the bowser jnr challenge

Felt a bit average to me, too heavy on dlc or games from 3ds era coming over that just didn't particularly interest me much.
Pikmin 4 opened very nicely but then I felt no excitement myself until metroid (which only being 1 deflated it slightly) and Gameboy.
Happy advance wars got a release date as did Zelda but felt nothing much new and big revealed and hung on likes of almost out kirby for too long..

Listed as 70 euro here which is more.
New Ps5 games unless they are discounted releases have been 75 euro here that's almost 81 usd . Xbox have slowly closed that gap to 70-75 euro.
It's eventually just going be new industry price.
Though Botw is still 55 euro today and was 60-65 euro at launch which is rare most nintendofirst parties launch arround 50-55 and come down to maybe 45. Is it a bigger cartridge memorywise than majority switch games?

@Luminous117 I know right its such a daft assumption. But apparently that's been a huge issue for tech companies now. They planned or expected the "good times" covid profits increase to last . Now its gone you have lay offs and cut backs accross the industry.

It's a decent move by Nintendo as it softens the blow of inflation a bit. Think its wrong for people to associate it directly and specifically with an increase in game price.
McDonalds were in the news in japan for raising their prices recently along with various snack companies etc cost of living is raising in general.
Inflation is the true culprit thats driving cost up across the board and no company wants to take the hit to their profit by not passing it on to consumers I'm afraid.

It just seems with these sales reports the market always goes that numbers(often huge) is disappointing as its X and we wanted X plus Y (usually a unrealistic number).
Loads of them were shocked the video game covid sales bump ended but of course it did.

Wouldn't be surprised since every bill I have has increased in last 6 months particularly electricity, gas petrol etc and price has gone up on pretty much everything else in supermarket.
Even likes of a can of coke is like 20% more.
Video games aren't inflation proof they just seem to be the last thing to increase.

What's wrong with either version. Half way through campaign on xbox and played switch version for 3 levels too using n64 controller. Nothing majorly wrong has popped up for me on either. Could original team do better, probably but like its 26 years on I assume none or extremely few of them work for Rare or even same company as each other.

@Arawn93 triangle strategy is not the same at all, it's not clear the connections if any vs Advance Wars clear use of hey its war but fun and full of stereotypes
Nintendo made a PR decision based on protecting its image. I love advance wars myself and hope they will release it already but I see why it was delayed,same thing happened with advance wars due to 911 in many markets if I recall correctly.
Modern Warfare was in late October when some time had passed. Also Activision Blizzard doesnt have much of a reputation to protect from public scrutiny after its scandals

Rwalistically there is a very big PR difference in releasing it in 2023 vs releasing it shortly after a war broke out involving a nation the game parodies in a cartoon manner through Olaf and Blue moon. Sadly the war has being going on so long that its now become normalised as opposed to the shocking event it initially was.

Great to have it playable on something other then my aging N64. Great game and holds up better than half games on later consoles.
Be nice to have a few other bond games released

So it's in the game on release and people were giving out about it from trailer before they tired the game on release and jumped to its been removed outrage. Very much jumped the golden gun on this one.

1 in UK charts, the series has come along way since games stores had no clue what I was looking for trying to find shadow dragon on ds. Which eventually found randomly In a video store after tired so many gaming outlets

@Anti-Matter not asking you to support them just to recognise others like things you dont and stop moaning that things you don't personally like sell well. If majority just want to enjoy fifa or fortnite let them , doesn't impact me playing whatever I want.

@Anti-Matter No they don't mate, people need to buy whatever games they enjoy playing. For a majority thats fifa, gta etc not my bag personally but theres a reason they sell. For someone always pushing kid centric poorly reviewed games you should appreciate that.

That's the problem isn't it every second comment for games like this on its digital release is "no physical no buy" "I'll wait for a physical " etc on these limited physical release articles ( they cant print them in massive numbers as wont sell them all) there will be comments complaining it's too pricey.

Euro/Japan for being stylish over US ones clunky here' sjusr some clunky looking models

Kinda long overdue like been at it for decades. If he's not a champion level unstoppable master of pokemon he needs to get a new profession

Quick save is a welcome feature. I've been caught out before in persona games waiting for a save point.

The successor to the switch most likely.Realistically the only way modern high spec games will work on Switch is by cloud gaming which everyone here seems to hate but It's either that are they won't be on the console at all. I love my Switch but it's tech is rapidly aging, thats why i have other ways to play the big new non Nintendo releases. Asking for native ports for the Switch of games running on the latest Gen consoles such as ps5 or X Series its almost like trying to port a Switch game to the Gamecube at this stage.

Sony looks increasingly ridiculous now. Claiming there's no way it can compete against CoD and monopoly etc. Microsoft going we offered you a deal and look it's on Steam and Nintendo (on paper) you have confused Playstation with the entire gaming market Sony. This is also the same "this is for the players "Sony that hates cross play, has a digital only model of the ps5 and an overcharging digital store, doesn't allow digital game codes to be sold elsewhere and always tells you buy Playstation for exclusives , anyone it buys is suddenly Playstation only but MS exclusives are bad. Increases the price of its consoles and pushes overpriced remakes of remakes. Tries tocharge for upgrading to ps5 versions whenever it can. Really lost alot of respect for Sony in last few years
