As a North American, I'm actually glad Xenoblade came out in Europe first because the English dub is so much better than if they'd used the same 8 American voice actors every other game has. The voices in this game are so great. Glad they're all back. I had no idea Melia's actress became so successful. Good for her.
@Arkay I've never once played an Animal Crossing game without some exploit to pay off my house and build a nice nest egg and I've played most of them for hundreds of hours each.
If anyone has a problem with that, they can drive themselves crazy obsessing over how other people play the game.
@ReaperExTenebris And yet clearly there's a sizeable market for it, so ***** cares if it's missing a couple of features? You call it a waste of resources but that's completely absurd.
@glenny3214 How could someone read this article and not get that the item was originally called "Switch," not "Light Switch," and they changed the name to "Light Switch" to make it clear that it was specifically a light switch..
@Zyph It's $15 for one of the versions of the base game and another $15 for the rest of the characters as DLC. People complain and whine about it but they wouldn't bat an eye if it was just one version for $30. It's pathetic.
@Rika_Yoshitake How dare the media expect to go to a trade show to do their actual jobs and not wade through a sea of people who don't have the good sense to go to PAX instead.
If you had a job, how would you like it if a bunch of people were hanging around your workplace getting in the way?
Before Ultimate was announced, I was speculating that the Switch Smash game would be a combo of the Wii U and 3DS games (all of the stages and modes in one game) with a few new characters and the return of the Ice Climbers. Instead we got something more ambitious than that. If the next Smash game is just a port of Ultimate with some bonus content, I'll probably be OK with that.
User reviews have no value anyway. Look at the random idiots you see complaining about every game online and ask yourself if you care what they have to say about games or other media?
There needs to be some way to transfer your save when the Switch Pro comes out. I never would have upgraded to a New Nintendo 3DS if I'd needed to leave my Animal Crossing town behind to do it.
@Manah Years later, when they released the RV cards, the only way to get those characters to move into your town was from the RV campsite. It was mostly (entirely?) villagers who were in previous AC games and not New Leaf before that point.
Look, any time a character I don't actively dislike is added to Smash Bros., I'm OK with it. I like Fire Emblem: Three Houses and while there are other characters I would have liked more, Byleth is fine and there are six more chances for Wonder Red to show up as DLC.
@ap0001 What self-insert characters? Aside from Byleth, they all have their own dialogue and specific personalities, both in Smash Bros. and in Fire Emblem.
Considering Sword and Shield would still be the worst Pokemon games even if they included the full National Dex, of course this won't please the "moaning Dexit crowd."
@Crockin Axing tons of mainstay features (dungeons, story, exploration, GTS, not to mention the national dex) and replacing them with the Wild Area does not make a AAA game. Also things like environment design are not "bloat."
Selling Pokemon numbers is just more of a reason why they could have afforded not to cut half the Pokemon and a bunch of features, not more of a reason why it's OK that they did.

@ReaperExTenebris Yes, those morons, releasing an extremely successful dedicated handheld. Those fools. Those absolute idiots.
Re: 8-Bit Brawler Jay And Silent Bob: Mall Brawl Gets Its Own Switch eShop Release Next Week

Re: Bandai Namco Offers "More Fun For Everyone", Except Switch Owners
It's also the only Namco game they don't put on sale every three weeks.
I want this version for the multiplayer but I'm not paying full price for it because I already have it on PS4.

Re: Nintendo "Unwilling" To Confirm If 88-Year-Old Grandma Has Her Own Character In Animal Crossing
If she's not named after the grandma, then why is she called Audie? The rest of the animal names have some sort of joke or reference in them.

This game is great if you have friends.

@KitsuneNight I, too, already have comic books, and therefor have no need to read other comic books.
Re: Random: Animal Crossing: New Horizons' Easter Bunny Really Doesn't Like His Job
@edhe I know, I can't believe a Nintendo website is posting so much about a hot new Nintendo game. Who could have seen this coming?
Re: Flipnote Studio Isn't Coming To Nintendo Switch, Because It Was All For April Fool's Day
If you start your April Fool's joke before April 1st, it's not an April Fool's joke, it's just a lie.
Re: Random: Brie Larson Says She's More Than Happy To Be In An Animal Crossing Movie
@Silly_G Because everyone who isn't a neckbearded virgin is obsessed with Brie Larson.
Re: Dragon: Marked For Death Is Receiving A "Massive Update" On 21st April
@Zyph It's $15 for one of the versions of the base game and another $15 for the rest of the characters as DLC. People complain and whine about it but they wouldn't bat an eye if it was just one version for $30. It's pathetic.

Sonic 2 did come out, even though it's not on the list for some reason.

Re: Leading Smash Bros. Player Calls Out Nintendo For "Not Putting Resources Into The Scene"
What exactly does Nintendo have to gain from putting money into the Smash Bros. scene? It's already the best selling fighting game of all time.

Re: You Might Not Be Able To Transfer Animal Crossing: New Horizons Save Data To Another Switch
@Xeawn If it works with a full system transfer, then it's not that bad.
Re: Nintendo Shares More Information About The Multiplayer In Animal Crossing: New Horizons
@Torakaka With the number of Animal Crossing amiibos and cards I've bought, I'll be really disappointed if they don't at least do something.
Re: Pokémon Sword And Shield Sold A Phenomenal 16 Million Copies In Under Two Months
So of course they couldn't afford to model and animate all the Pokemon.
Re: Reminder: Smash Bros. Ultimate's Second Fighters Pass Can Be Purchased From The eShop
It's really dumb to buy a character pass before even one of the characters is out.
Re: Talking Point: What's Going To Be Nintendo's Big Game For Christmas 2020?
Bayonetta 3 will never be the big game of the fall because it's too niche.
Humanity isn't worthy of character action game perfection.
Re: Comparing The Witcher Games To The Books Is Like Comparing "Spaghetti Carbonara With A Bicycle", Says Creator

Too the Moon is a great story.
Re: Hang On, Competitive Pokémon Fans Are Liking Sword And Shield's National Dex Cut
That's nice. The Pokedex cut still sucks, though, and Sword and Shield would be the worst Pokemon game even without the cut.
Re: Nintendo Tweet Shows Off Pokémon Forms Not Yet Available In Sword And Shield
Considering Sword and Shield would still be the worst Pokemon games even if they included the full National Dex, of course this won't please the "moaning Dexit crowd."
