@OorWullie Not only from these results. All the starter packs are way cheaper already then when they launched, on all platforms. Wondering if that has something to do with the physical toys.
I think 3% isn't that bad though, when you compare it to Assassin's Creed launch on the PS4, xBox and PC, which sold millions.
Not surprised by that. They still have the answers from the poll. Might not be the most recent since there came out a lot of games between then and now, but still.
Can we just all appreciate how good Incineroar looks. His down B gives him this really cool effect and the animation after a hit or miss (which depends on what kind of attack it is) is really amazing. Not enough love for that, honestly.
I hope there are a lot of cutscenes in them. Loved how most characters had voice acting, sounded really neat. Hopefully playable in co op too, just like Subspace.
The only thing I didn't like is that they announced a Singleplayer mode two months before launch, such a weird decision.
Still not sure if I want to play this game. I like the gameplay of Pokémon Go, it's easy and simple (although some things could be a bit faster, like the dialogue when you catch a Pokémon).
But to put that same gameplay instead of wild battles just looks so bland and boring. The rest of the game looks so good. Pikachu and Eevee are adorable and the visuals look really pleasing (although the character design feels a bit like a generic mobile game). Sigh, what to do.
Man, this sounds amazing. Brings back those great memories from Breath of the Wild. Really want to listen this on Spotify though, just like other Nintendo songs.
@Dalarrun I have close to 200 hours into the PC version but it isn't the superior version, for sure. Without DSfix, the game runs pathetically bad. Are the servers even live again? Because when I played, they weren't.
Wow, the comment section is going wild again. Kind of pathetic that people don't want to see politics in here, while everything is determined by politics.
@Xaessya Although I kind of agree with you, it takes ages making an animation for every move each pokemon has (so 151+ Pokémon, 10 moves at least, so that will be atleast 1510 different unique animations).
Hopefully some Super Mario Party with friends! I invited them over since previous weekend was a lot of fun with that game. It's too bad people have problems with it.
Rather see them making a new game, instead of porting very old games which were free on PC and available on all platforms (except Nintendo then) for a very long time.
@Anti-Matter Not at all. Mario + Rabbids is a different type of game. Finally a turnbased shooter in the Nintendo Universe. Don't have to milk that game with dumb spinoffs while we could aswell have a nice sequel, which it deserves.
Played the first one on PC, but didn't really like the focus on platforming and the visuals at the time. I was playing Hollow Knight too at that moment, so maybe that's why I couldn't get into it. Will play it again for sure sometime.
@Krull Eh, I think one of the most importants details in a Mario RPG is humor. The humor Monolith has is way more serious or anime based than what a Mario RPG has.
Three years later, my dad got a N64 for my sister, who is 7 years older than me, along with Zelda OoT. When she was playing, I sat next to her with these big eyes, enjoying her adventure. Sometimes I was allowed to play on the N64 too. But ofcourse, I got stuck at the water temple. I think I was 12 when I finally finished it. That game gave me some of my best memories.
I'm going to buy Super Mario Party for sure somewhere in December. I'm still doubting about Starlink though.. and if I'm going to buy it, which platform?

Re: Soften The Blow Of The Team Sonic Racing Delay With This Early Soundtrack Sample From Sega
Love this soundtrack, honestly. Although I think the Rooftop version is better.
Re: Atari's RollerCoaster Tycoon Adventures Arrives On Switch Later This Month
Just some friendly advice for anyone who wants to buy this: we're talking about Atari here. Just wait for the reviews before buying.
It's your own choice ofcourse.
Re: Reggie: N64 Classic Mini Is "Not In Our Planning Horizon", But Wouldn't Ever Rule It Out
The N64 always gave me blisters..
.. can't wait to experience that again!
Re: A Behind-The-Scenes Look At Character Models And Props From The Pokémon Detective Pikachu Movie
Charizard looks like a trophy Geralt of Rivia would put on Roach. Awesome!
Re: Rumour: PlatinumGames Is Working On Three Switch Titles
Scalebound won't ever release on the Switch, that's for sure
Re: Reggie Says Metroid Prime 4 Is Well Into Development
Wondering what we will see at the Game Awards though.
Re: Video: The Pokémon Detective Pikachu Movie's First Official Trailer Has Landed
Going to wait for the reviews for this one. I'm glad the designs and CGI isn't that bad, but still. You never know with videogames movies.
Re: Overwatch Director Says Blizzard Is "Very Open-Minded" About Switch Release
Yeah great, but I already play it on PC too much. Don't see why I need it on Switch then. Hopefully Blizzard adds crosplay though.
Re: Overwatch Director Says Blizzard Is "Very Open-Minded" About Switch Release
@Monokuma Blizzard is talking with Microsoft and Sony about that.
Re: YouTube Has Officially Arrived On Nintendo Switch
Still don't really get why people want a bigger screen with a (probably) lower resolution.
But hey, I guess it's a good thing that this is out.
Re: Guide: Spirits in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Explained
I'm not going to miss trophies. Designing them just takes too much time and not necessary when there is official artwork available to grab.
Plus, World of Light really seem to benefit from Spirits. Lots of crazy stuff can be done with it.
Re: Masahiro Sakurai Reveals Nintendo Has Already Selected DLC Fighters For Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Not surprised by that. They still have the answers from the poll. Might not be the most recent since there came out a lot of games between then and now, but still.
Re: Three New Characters Join The Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Roster
Can we just all appreciate how good Incineroar looks. His down B gives him this really cool effect and the animation after a hit or miss (which depends on what kind of attack it is) is really amazing. Not enough love for that, honestly.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Adventure Mode Is Called 'World Of Light'
I hope there are a lot of cutscenes in them. Loved how most characters had voice acting, sounded really neat. Hopefully playable in co op too, just like Subspace.
The only thing I didn't like is that they announced a Singleplayer mode two months before launch, such a weird decision.
Re: Smash Bros. Ultimate Just Got A Whole Lot Deeper Thanks To The 'Spirit' System
Trophies just takes a lot of time to design, like Sakurai mentioned. The Spirits system feels more unique. I don't see what the problem is.
Re: Poll: What Do You Want To See From The Final Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct?
A good singleplayer mode. That's all.
Re: Switch eShop Pre-Load Listing Reveals File Size For Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu And Eevee
Still not sure if I want to play this game. I like the gameplay of Pokémon Go, it's easy and simple (although some things could be a bit faster, like the dialogue when you catch a Pokémon).
But to put that same gameplay instead of wild battles just looks so bland and boring. The rest of the game looks so good. Pikachu and Eevee are adorable and the visuals look really pleasing (although the character design feels a bit like a generic mobile game). Sigh, what to do.
Re: Fortnite Has Been Downloaded To Nearly Half Of All Nintendo Switch Systems Worldwide
Downloaded it, I never play it. My GF likes it, so worth the download.
Re: Super Mario Party Has Sold 1.5 Million Copies In The Month Of October
@Guiltygear I really hope they won't add bigger boards. The game is not designed for it, unless you do more than 20 rounds.
Re: Super Mario Party Has Sold 1.5 Million Copies In The Month Of October
Wow big number. I'm really enjoying it too, so I have to say its well deserved.
Re: Nintendo Treehouse: Live To Showcase Smash, Pokémon, Yoshi's Crafted World And Diablo After Direct
@Timppis Which isn't weird since its Nintendo's biggest launch game this year.
Re: Rumour: Unannounced Characters For Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Have Possibly Been Leaked
I hope this is fake. I really enjoy the characters, but just look at what the Smash Wii U and 3DS leaks did. It wasn't any good for the hype.
Re: Video: This Amazing Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Remix Only Uses Sounds Found In The Game
Man, this sounds amazing. Brings back those great memories from Breath of the Wild. Really want to listen this on Spotify though, just like other Nintendo songs.
Re: Review: Dark Souls: Remastered - Perfect Portable Punishment
@goggles789 About Prepare to Die. It's a few years ago and I didnt start it up recently, so I don't know if matchmaking is still shut down, but it was when DS3 came out. Read the following article:

Re: Review: Dark Souls: Remastered - Perfect Portable Punishment
@Dalarrun Yeah, who doesn't right? But isn't it pathetic how you need to install a mod to fix a game?
Re: Review: Dark Souls: Remastered - Perfect Portable Punishment
@Dalarrun I have close to 200 hours into the PC version but it isn't the superior version, for sure. Without DSfix, the game runs pathetically bad. Are the servers even live again? Because when I played, they weren't.
Re: Random: Former American President Barack Obama Doesn't Care About Pokémon, So Go And Vote
Wow, the comment section is going wild again. Kind of pathetic that people don't want to see politics in here, while everything is determined by politics.
Plus, this isn't even about politics.
Re: Treat Yourself (And Your Ears) To This Stardew Valley Piano Collections Album
Ah nice, already downloaded it on Spotify. Especially Spring makes me very happy.
Re: A Zelda-Like Open World Pokémon Game Is "Still On The Cards", Says Junichi Masuda
@Sanasalin Exactly! Jrpg's like Xeno(2) and DQXI set a nice example of how Pokémon Open World could be. Nothing wrong with lineair.
Re: A Zelda-Like Open World Pokémon Game Is "Still On The Cards", Says Junichi Masuda
@TheFanatic How is Pokémon Let's Go completely new?
Re: Team Cherry's Decision To Cancel Hollow Knight On Wii U Was Hard, But Ultimately For The Best
@ilikeike It's not like Team Cherry released the game on a different platform which Cobalt owns since he constantly boasts about it.
Re: Photorealistic Graphics Didn't Match Welcoming Nature Of Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu And Eevee
@Xaessya Although I kind of agree with you, it takes ages making an animation for every move each pokemon has (so 151+ Pokémon, 10 moves at least, so that will be atleast 1510 different unique animations).
Re: Pokémon GO AR+ Is Now Supported On Android Devices
While it's nice and pretty development, I still think most people don't use it anyway, since it could be more difficult to catch Pokémon.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 13th)
Hopefully some Super Mario Party with friends! I invited them over since previous weekend was a lot of fun with that game. It's too bad people have problems with it.
Re: Video: See Yo-Kai Watch 4 Running On Switch With This 10-Minute Gameplay Video And Trailer
Looks good! Nice battle system. Hopefully they will improve the framerate issues, there are a lot.
Re: Random: Refusing To High Five Characters In Super Mario Party Has Hilarious Results
All these grumpy people in the comments.
Re: Random: Super Mario Party Shows That Nintendo Still Can't Decide Birdo's Gender
Could someone here photoshop Birdo without her makeup, the bow on het head, etc? Thanks!
The Birdo Gender thing is a nice running joke; it always surprises me how many people can be offended by a thing such as gender.
Re: Frictional Games Still Hoping To Bring Survival Horror Series Amnesia To Switch
Rather see them making a new game, instead of porting very old games which were free on PC and available on all platforms (except Nintendo then) for a very long time.
Re: Ubisoft Eager To Find Out Most Loved Mario Characters In New Subscriber Survey
@Anti-Matter Not at all. Mario + Rabbids is a different type of game. Finally a turnbased shooter in the Nintendo Universe. Don't have to milk that game with dumb spinoffs while we could aswell have a nice sequel, which it deserves.
Re: Surprise! Both Guacamelee Games Headed To Switch, First Available Right Now
Played the first one on PC, but didn't really like the focus on platforming and the visuals at the time. I was playing Hollow Knight too at that moment, so maybe that's why I couldn't get into it.
Will play it again for sure sometime.
Re: Random: Nintendo Features Sony-Exclusive Detroit: Become Human Actor In New Promo Video
That Thanos 'cosplay' made me laugh so hard.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles Developer Monolith Soft Is Hiring For New RPG Project
@Krull Eh, I think one of the most importants details in a Mario RPG is humor. The humor Monolith has is way more serious or anime based than what a Mario RPG has.
Re: Rumour: New Nintendo Switch SKU Planned For Late 2019
Nice! Can't wait for the improvements. But for the love of god, don't give it exclusive Switch titles.
Re: Reggie Says Wii U's Failure Ultimately Led To Success Of The Switch
Oh god, the Wii U vs Switch discussion rising once again. They always take their chance, don't they.
Re: Review: Super Mario Party - The Life And Soul Of The Party Once More
Will buy it later, since I'm broke at the moment, but man, this does look very good! Can't wait to play this - drunk - with friends!
Re: Feature: A 20th Anniversary Zelda Adventure - Playing Ocarina Of Time For The First Time
When Zelda launched, I was only 1 year old.
Three years later, my dad got a N64 for my sister, who is 7 years older than me, along with Zelda OoT. When she was playing, I sat next to her with these big eyes, enjoying her adventure.

@Adrevenue I know, but I want to know how the game hold on against PC.

Re: 'Tis The Season For A New Line Of Nintendo Christmas Sweaters, Pre-Orders Open
Luckily I have a nice warm and soft Zelda christmas sweater, because I don't really like these. Love the tradition though.
