Re: Sonic's Upcoming Movie Receives A PG Rating

Sanders

There’s no rule against using that word as they did in transformers from 1986. Originally transformers the movie was rated G and that meant it would have limited showings during the day, so the creators and Hasbro jointly decided to throw in a specific curse to bump the rating to PG which allowed it to play all day.

Re: Surprise, Nintendo Isn't Hosting An E3 Press Conference This Year

Sanders

E3 is a junk, pompous event. The press conferences are obnoxious, horribly staged briefings with cheap music and celebrities. Nintendo doesn't need it, and they haven't for the last five years. What Nintendo needs to do is continue this streak and maintain consumer enthusiasm, and a digital event streamed directly to the Switch is more lucrative and straightforward.

Re: Editorial: Pricing Blunders Have Distorted The Narrative Around Nintendo Switch

With a global sellout on pre-orders, incredibly strong word of mouth, to the point my mother even knew about it when I called her over the weekend, and one of the most powerful brands in gaming launching with the Switch, I believe Nintendo correctly appraised the market. As a father and a gamer, $299.99 is an incredible price for the Switch, comparing it to the 199.99 of the New 3DS, the 399.99 of the PS4, and the 299.99 of the One S. The fact of the matter is, Nintendo has a competitive cost with a strong line up of single, and local multi-player games. Furthermore, I have a separate device, a 4K player for my movies, and a smart TV for streaming apps. The average household already has a dedicated media playe4, what they're looking for is a compelling gaming device, and Nintendo is handing them an intriguing, accessible piece of premium hardware.
