It was incredibly cheesy, but that's why I loved it. It reminds me of the older Nintendo Directs when they would do stuff like this. I don't think he has the same charisma as Reggie did, but then again, who does?
I think this is great. It allows a game to be enjoyed by more people, and that's never a bad thing. However, I would imagine it would stay a console exclusive, although I could be wrong about that.
I'm probably gonna be playing King of the Hat and Rivals of Aether on my PC, as well as some Smash Bros. Tis the weekend for platform fighters I guess.
This isn't gonna happen. It would be bad for everyone involved. Not only would even less people buy the xbox then there are already, but people wouldn't buy games from the eshop if they're on game pass, leading to less sales for Nintendo. And even if Nintendo got a cut from people who used game pass on Switch, that would mean less money for Microsoft. There's just no way I see this happening.
Scalebound would be cool, but I can guarantee you that if it turns out to not be Scalebound, people are going to complain about it not being a rumour that has no ground to stand on.
A remake of a 20 year old game boy game should not be released for the same price as a brand new game. $40 would be a fair price, but I have a bad feeling they're going to charge $60.
I've seen a lot of people disappointed with this direct, and I think it's a perfect example of one man's trash is another man's treasure. Super Mario Maker 2, Link's Awakening, Rune Factory 5, Box Boy + Box Girl, Unravel 2, Tetris 99 — all things that I thought were great.
Rune Factory 4 was my favorite game on 3DS for a while, but I played it so much that I don't think I'll be getting it on Switch, especially since it still looks like a 3DS game. I'm super hyped for Rune Factory 5 though.
@NintyNate 8-9 big hitters is a lot to ask of a single company. Chances are we'll be seeing 4-6 Nintendo developed games this year, with 2-3 of those being the big hitters, as well as maybe 3-5 big hitters from other company's (Doom Eternal, Overwatch, etc.)
Does everyone here realize that Donkey Kong Country: Tropical freeze took up 6.6 GB on Switch, while the Wii U version took up 11.4 GB? They're both the same game, and the Switch version even has some extra content.It just means they're better at compressing software and getting a games file size as small as they can.
I feel like I'm the only one here who thinks these are good picks and hasn't played either of them. While yes, Zelda II is probably the worst in the series, that doesn't mean its bad, so I'll go into it with an open mind, and I tried a demo for Blaster Master Zero and liked what I played, so I think it'll be fun trying out the original.
I thought the scene where toad stabbed someone 11 times in the chest in an incredibly violent and gory fashion was really weird, but other than that the game shouldn't be at +18.

Re: Yacht Club Games Has Delayed Shovel Knight: King Of Cards
I'm disappointed, but it's better for them to work longer to make it great than for them to rush it to meet the release date.
