@forumposter21 Brilliant, that's EXACTLY the kind of minute details I was after. And you are right, with the little things it just adds up over time and lessens your enjoyment. Let's hope they patch these things as surely they are relatively simple. Like a silent click arrow, how could they miss that lol? Thanks SO much.
@Spiders How about music and presentation etc? I was a little disappointed with Mercenaries Saga Chronicles and found it a little glitchy/samey. Is it better and more polished? Advance Wars polished??
@LilDoggo48 Exactly, if you're desperate to see infantilised anime girlies bouncing about in bikinis then you can still get an import version. Or just cut out the middle man and go straight to PornHub lol.
@Carnictis Yes I'm here for it. And the thought of the programmer spending hours on getting the boobs right but letting everything else fall to the wayside made me LOL
Clearly this was all a planned skit hence him being mic'ed up and given the chance to plug his movie. Also he would have approved the perceived slight on the film by Andy Samberg. It's all marketing, people! And good marketing at that. Also note that Spider-verse won best animation over all the Disney offerings so anything can happen if the movie is great.
@redd214 Totally, there's a reason companies are developing games that look like they're from the 16Bit era like Octopath and not ropey 3D ones from the 32 Bit era. Not aged well at all.
You can bet they put the ARMS characters in Smash down the line. It's a Nintendo fighting game IP FFS, they MUST have thought about it. Maybe this is some sort or cross referencing event...
I don't think Nintendo can really complain seeing as they 'rewarded' players for getting 100% in Super Metroid by having Samus in her bra and panties. Not very PC by today's standards. Roll on Cosplay Bowsettes the world over next year mark my words haha!
I'm a HUGE fan of Phantasy Star 2 -4... who here has played this? Basically looking at it I can add another 2 points to the review making it a 9 and a must buy for me right?
Carrey is perfect for the role! He can do the maniacal cackle and physical comedy to make it work. A bit like Christopher Loyd did in Roger Rabbit. Good choice! Now lets hope it's not like SMB: The Movie...
To be fair it will have slightly been lost in translations from a Japanese journalist trying to make something exciting which everyone else took far too literally
@thesilverbrick They will sell a bucket load and it's good to know that they aren't just rushing out a core RPG and doing a half assed job. These are interim games and hit the Go! audience which is HUGE.
@ImagineerNik yeah I saw it a few weeks ago so they were ahead of the game on this one. Like the royals or not, it's a positive thing that people can come together and spread a bit of collective joy about so it cannot be a bad thing.
@gatorboi352 Haha so much I could say in response to that. Take a look at today's politics as evidence that that is not the case. It's just a great piece of work whatever way you look at it.
No s*!t they want to work with Mario, that would treble the sales! And mate we've all been playing Mario game since we were kids. I love Fire Emblem and Zelda but have played both games and they're samey and boring. Has everyone really run out of ideas that they can't continue on a main series (I'm looking at you Star Fox/F-Zero mash up!)?
@gatorboi352 Hmm maybe not a huge impact on sales but culturally yes. It'll be a lot more people seeing what Labo can do. While I've said before that Labo is pretty niche and mainly for parents with kids, this sort of broadens the appeal much like the guy Djing with it did. Either way it shows how relevant Nintendo is at the moment, especially in the US and Japan.
Just going to bed here in the UK and this has made my day. She sounds amazing and what they've done with Labo is incredible. Hooray for Jimmy Fallon. It's on 1.5million views atm on YT, I bet it'll be about 5 by the time I get up lol. GENIUS.
@tourjeff YES. JUST GIVE US A NEW PROPER F-ZERO! Mixing genres worked so well with Federation Force after all. The Switch is the perfect platform to move ALL of their main IP's forward just like Metroid 4 etc...
@impurekind It's very niche I would say and not for people without young kids so I expect it'll truck along for birthday as Christmas's etc. My sister got it for her husband and the kids to play with so the market is limited I guess.
@Stocksy Well said! The Wii U was the first Nintendo machine I didn't get since the bloody NES so bringing games over makes so much sense. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is one of the best selling games on the Switch so clearly it's the right idea no matter what naysayers on this site may say. 'Moan moan moan' more than 'port port port'! Sigh. Just be glad for the amount of choice we now have guys.
Ah it's a wonderful game. Have already sunk 80 odd hours into it. It's all about being intuitive and making your own missions. Like working out how to make more money, getting to the bottom of the mines, collecting everything in the community centre etc etc. You sort of have to go with the flow and the longer you play it the more involved you get in its mysteries.
Love the quote: 'some are saying that this could be a move by Nintendo to maximize sales of the new release' SHOCK HORROR! Nintendo is a still a company, of course they would want to maximise sales. Anyone who was going to buy it on the Wii U is most likely to have done it already so I don't really see the problem.
@JLPick Woah, clearly he's having a laugh, people are enjoying it and he's using Labo in a new and creative way which is what the company wants and what pushes Nintendo and the community. Saying it's pathetic and he's 'probably single' says more about you than it does about him.
@chardir Supermarkets seemed to have dropped Nintendo since Wii U as I never see anything to do with Switch in any of the major ones. Someone in sales at Nintendo UK is seriously not doing their job IMO.
@Heavyarms55 I would say the street takeover in New York City for the release of Super Mario Odyssey along with a recreation of the dance etc was pretty impressive. They don't bother so much with the UK sadly.

Re: Pokémon Sales Slump To All-Time Low In Japan, Despite Strong Worldwide Performance Of Let's Go
@Maxz I agree, this is just shoddy incendiary journalism. Contradicts itself as well on numerous occasions. Pointless.

Re: Smash Ultimate Nearly Featured Decidueye Rather Than Incineroar, Lack Of ARMS Fighters Explained
That doesn't really make sense about the ARMS characters. Put them in as DLC if the the 'timing' wasn't right the first time around no?
Re: Nintendo Crushed It In The UK Over Christmas, Best-Selling Physical Publisher In December
@CarpeDiem Clearly I was being facetious. Everyone blames every decline on Brexit so I was following suit.
Re: Nintendo Crushed It In The UK Over Christmas, Best-Selling Physical Publisher In December
@Heavyarms55 Yeah, its called Brexit. Groan.
Re: Nintendo Crushed It In The UK Over Christmas, Best-Selling Physical Publisher In December
And that's in the UK where Nintendo always has a tough time. Can we get the same figures for the US perhaps?

Re: Random: Treat Your Loved Ones To These Joy-Con Knife Blade Holders This Holiday Season
I think it's in pretty poor taste considering the state of knife crime in our cities at the moment in the UK.
Re: Nintendo Has Nothing To Say About Internet Superstar Bowsette, So Stop Begging For Her
I don't think Nintendo can really complain seeing as they 'rewarded' players for getting 100% in Super Metroid by having Samus in her bra and panties. Not very PC by today's standards. Roll on Cosplay Bowsettes the world over next year mark my words haha!

@invictus4000 That's brilliant, and exactly I'm sure what Nintendo had in mind!
