David Gibson, senior research analyst at MST Financial told CNBC that he expects 20 million sales for the year ending March 2026. For me as a gamer I dont care that much. For me as an investor i keep a close look at the Nintendo stock.
@Anti-Matter my console hype was absolutely the Wii. I flew to London to pick one up at Gamestop in Oxford street. Wii Sports with the motion controls made me so happy!!
@Yoshi3 get your point and i assume we buy product/services for good quality. For me golf games movies for example. Off course i will not compare a subjective price tag of a good vs bad quality game. But lets say we agree MKW is a good quality game (and if you disagree why bother mentioning the price) how would you come to a price sweetspot where you would step in?
@Yoshi3 i believe games are still fairly priced. If i play a round of golf, 4 hours, i pay on average eur 60. Thats eur 15 p/h. When i go see a football match, eur 40 for 90 mins. I go to the movies, lets say eur 15 for 2 hours thats fun for eur 7,50 p/h. MKW is eur 80 for lets say 20 hours of fun (family members not included), so eur 4 p/h. Thats how i look at it and for me its a fair price.
US imposed 24% import tariffs on Japan. It remains to be seen if this will affect consoles and outside US produced games. Further details will emerge but for now it look like Switch 2 will be 24% more expensive than in e.g. Europe. Unless off course Nintendo will subsidize US market.
Why so many biased replies. I like and played commodore, ngage, nokia snake, atari, playstation, nintendo and yes, mobile games like supercell and many more. All good and some horrible experience. This new gaming phone can be good experience as well, why not? Play it and then judge.
Yes, i couldnt agree more with this article. Remote controls gave me, and many with me, back the pleasure in gaming. Hope it will come back in some fashion.
I loved to play TP with nunchuk and wii remote. Why does this sound outdated..? The future of gaming depends on innovation, which the nunchuk and wii remote was and still is! Personally I moved away from gaming on consoles because too many buttons with subsequent too long learning curve for me. If I buy TP HD will be impuls purchase, will see. Good review Thomas.
I loved this game on the Wii. I loved to play this game with Wii controller and nunchuk. Im not into amiibo. Very much in doubt to buy, probably will after price drop, anticipated this so much.... 😥😥😥
Nintendo needs a killer something. I loved TP with nunchuk and wii remote, i loved wii play. I bought wii U zelda and didnt finished windwaker. Think VR will be the next real deal, prob buy a ps4 if VR gets kick ass reviews. Interesting to see what NX will bring.
Do i get a discount b'se i bought the original on wii? 😄😄 No, but serious, if I need to buy a plastic puppet for extra content I will be not amused, but still will buy the HD remake!
Sorry but this is nonsense. I have to buy a plactic figure for additonal content. I am a grown who dislikes amiibo - totally lost on this strategy. Think still will buy the game as I liked it so much on Wii, but not so sure anymore...
Have the game for the wii. Is the HD upgrade worth purchase for Wii U; what is forum opinion? Think its ridiculous to put extra content in a plastic figure...
Really looked forward to this game. I never had interest in amiibo, and never will do. If I have to buy an amiibo to get full content for a game, I will pass. If the rumour is truth, I really dont get it why nintendo is pushing part of its fanbase away
I am an adult who likes to play games. I really looked forward to TP HD; loved it on the Wii. Now, I never had interest in amiibo and this will not change. If I have to buy a an amiibo to get full content of a game, that just doesnt work for me. DLC ok, but an amiibo, no way, I will skip on TP HD on use my money on other content. I really dont get it why Nintendo does this, they are driving an old fanboy away...

Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd March (Europe)
