My comments are about the story but then that annoying stalker troll comes along like always and doesn't make a point about the story but dribbles out his usual garbage.

"Nintendo striving for a little anatomical accuracy". lol

Let's start with his nose being bigger than his mouth, his feet being bigger than his lower leg and his head is as big as his torso.

@IronMan28 Oh they more than basically called me a troll. They outright called me a troll, but then added in "so to speak" after I pointed it out, in order to minimise it.

@thesilverbrick Your free lesson for today.

You're welcome.

@YummyHappyPills They're basic and obvious mistakes that shouldn't be made. People pointed out a while back that this was happening and now I can't help but notice.

"Monster Boy And The Cursed Kingdom is due for release this summer, and with a physical edition also on the cars, publisher FDG Entertainment has been keen to reveal how it's pre-orders are faring. And the data they've revealed makes for some interesting reading. Turns out the Nintendo Switch version is trending very well - so well, in fact, that its outselling the PS4 version 10:1."

Numerous mistakes.

"That's pretty impressive, and indicative of how strong Nintendo Switch's user base is right now. It also proves how games such as MBATCK are just what a majority of Switch players are looking for."

There are issues with these lines, not grammatically, but factually. Well, actually there is a grammatical mistake. It should be "what the majority" as there aren't several majorities, it's either one or the other.

Anyway, sidetracked there, it doesn't prove "how strong Nintendo Switch's user base is right now" and where is the evidence that these games "are just what the majority of Switch players are looking for"? We've no numbers, just a ratio and there's several plausible explanations.

The Stalker is in the room.

@thesilverbrick Name calling now as well. Stay classy!

@thesilverbrick Awful analogy. And to say call them AAA 3rd party is also wrong because not all games from those publishers are AAA. Do people differentiate Indies by calling them Indie 3rd parties? No, they don't. Indies are called Indies to differentiate them from the usual meaning of 3rd party support. Sure it's not ideal, as 3rd party can by its literal definition include Indies, but that's how it is. 3rd parties were here first, Indies are relatively new. Nobody knew back then that they'd better have a more exact name for themselves because it would cause confusion years later when Indies would come under that umbrella.

@thesilverbrick Stop stating the obvious, we know Indies are 3rd party but when people differentiate between certain categories, they label them. So when somebody talks about 3rd party and Indies, people know the difference, e.g. Capcom = 3rd party, Image & Form = Indie.

Like how we know this Showcase won't feature said Capcom or Square Enix, EA, Sega, Bandai Namco, etc.

@thesilverbrick You're wrong, as you are to start a sentence with "because".

@thesilverbrick I've been over this countless times, not going through it again. People know the difference between when someone says 3rd party or Indie. But I'll ask just one question, how would you label a non Indie, 3rd party Showcase?

Flash of the Titans 2.

Don't know anything about this anime/manga, but any time I see it, some giant is running around naked while some pipsqueak tries to slash them to death.

@thesilverbrick Nope, it's called an Indie Showcase. Or Nindies to be precise, as Nintendo call it. They know the difference even if others are ignorant.

Swiftly followed by a 3rd party Showcase for Nintendo Switch. It's expected to last 1 minute.

I would also remind people that 85%(and growing) of the games on Switch are from Indies, with the remaining 15% made up of Nintendo and 3rd party titles. In all cases, be it Nintendo, 3rd party or Indie, the majority of the games are old ports.

So when people say, "The vast majority of my Switch library consists of indie games", it's hardly surprising, you've got a ratio of nearly 6:1.

You could say, it'll grow on you.

Features include:

-Laid-back, relaxing exploration: No ticking clock or perils laying in wait will prevent you from enjoying your journey here.

-An organic and mysterious ecosystem to play with: Interacting with graceful animals, ephemeral flora, and intriguing monoliths alter the world in vibrant and unexpected ways.

-Procedural population: The forest only materializes around you when you get close, regrowing in a new way each time you pass. What will you find when you retrace your steps?

-A dynamic soundtrack that responds to the player’s travels: The audio shifts along with the visuals, providing an enveloping aural and immersive experience.

Step 1: Wait until it's half price or less.

We've known this for some time. The Nyko portable dock has a notorious reputation, though this is slightly different. You should always buy 1st party products(even though they're more expensive) to be safe.

I posted a video in the Dark Souls thread, maybe a week ago now. But it was of the PS3 and the Switch versions and honestly they didn't look that much different, just basically a slightly higher resolution on Switch. This is the video.

Us Wii U owners be laughing.

@Robzilla Still, he's responsible for killing thousands and thousands of people, many innocent and destroying countless other lives. I know he's not in the same league as the other 2 I mentioned. It's just an observation more than anything.

No thank you.

Is it wise to put Cappy on a notorious criminal like Escobar? Where did that image come from? Would Cappy be put on someone like Hitler or Gaddafi?

Are you serious? That's the trailer?

All these type of games are going to feel like cheap, pale imitations compared to the legendary BOTW.

@rjejr "On the bright side, I don't see 1 2 Switch getting ported anywhere ever."

Thank God for small mercies.

You missed what they wrote in their Youtube description of the video.

"Infernium, a non-linear first person survival horror. Dive in an interconnected beautiful portrait of hell, die in a prison without bars and overcome a brutal penitence. An agonizing anxiety-inducing experience that will shake you to the core.

From the creator of the multi-awarded indie game of the year MIND: Path to Thalamus. Published by Undercoders, creators of Conga Master and the world wide acclaimed Superola and the Lost Burgers.

Running at native 720p 30fps on Nintendo Switch"

I heard something about this. They're getting exclusive characters and isn't it reportedly going to be cheaper too? It would take little effort to give Switch owners an exclusive character at least as a thank you for the game's success. I'd say if it hadn't sold well on Switch that there may not be any other versions.

This looks very good, it mixes up a few genres and reminds me of Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley, Monster Hunter as well as some RPGs.

"lets just call it Project Giant Robot shall we?"

And eradicate the other one from our memory. I know I'm being a bit pedantic but it should be "let's" not "lets".

What can we say about the screenshot? It's cel-shaded, it looks nice and the game may be some robotic version of Rampage. There's an awful lot of bins lying around with their lids off. They need modern wheelie bins. Everyone seems to drive around in the same yellowy/orange car. If you look in the bottom left corner, I think you may be that person with the gun beside the car. Maybe you've been called out after the Robot didn't like his stay in the hotel and decided to thrash the city. There's a Gunman Clive billboard on top of the building to the right of the robot. I think that's all I've noticed.

Nothing for me this week. Kirby: Star Allies is not worth €60.

@Jingo_Unchained We can do both.

@rjejr That's true. They'll charge full price regardless.

@NintendoFan4Lyf I thought of XIII too as well as Red Steel. It looks pretty good, hated the "music". "Procedurally generated levels." Hhhmm? Rising Star Games are a good publisher, so I trust their interest in this. I'll keep an eye on it.

@rjejr I have a suspicion Nintendo might call it new but we'll all know what it really is.

@jswhitfield8 Majora's Mask is absolutely not a remix of OOT. I see what you're getting at, but no, that's very different.

These(live action) are always awful or at least that's been my experience.

@Bondi_Surfer That's a terrible argument. So every time a new character is added to a game, it technically becomes a new game again?

@Phin68 Hype and promotion. Plus things will have changed from the original, e.g. Link and Zelda's character models, new characters, the DLC characters from the Wii U/3DS version weren't in the original trailer, etc.

People also talk about the "new" logo. I believe it's only partially showing its load-up screen.

@roadrunner343 I can see Nintendo calling this 5 because they don't want to acknowledge the Wii U. But more than that, by calling it a new game, they can justify charging full price. Then there's the DLC which I've previously spoken about. There's a fair whack of it, which Nintendo would like to charge for rather than letting everyone have it for free. Again, I've also said that it's not just Nintendo that makes money from the DLC, Sega, Capcom, Namco Bandai, Square Enix and many more take a slice of it. By having the characters as separate DLC they can get a bigger profit margin than being included in the main game.

@jswhitfield8 Splatoon 2 is more a Remix.

Seen them already and have been talking about them this morning, they look great.

It'll be Version 4.5. No way are they going to let all that Wii U/3DS content fall by the wayside without trying to tap it up again for maximum profit. Just look at all their other Wii U ports and this is arguably the biggest. They'll add in a few new characters, a few new stages, make a few alterations, add some new modes, slap some Switch paint on it and roll it off the conveyor belt. Plus the game already runs at 60fps and 1080p from Wii U.

I've said it before but when you ask big questions like this, you really should add in a poll to see what people think.

Get a grip of yourselves people!

@roadrunner343 SMO was in development since late 2013. They didn't rush it out for the Switch launch, it seems complete and they had it out well in advance for Christmas. It doesn't seem rushed and it's an original game. The majority of the games on Switch are old ports.

"You also seem to think releasing a product with the intent of making money is somehow a bad thing." How do I think that?

@roadrunner343 No, that sentence can't just as easily apply to the likes of Super Mario Odyssey.

Can they not sell them individually instead of forcing people to buy both?

Coming soon: Dark Souls - Lunaire of Astora amiibo

With interchangeable saucepans.
