And this is a good thing?

Honestly would rather have a remake of Adventure 1&2

@westman98 Wow, that's depressing.

This game looks like it has more charm and thought put in to it than Fortnite or it's pretenders ever could have thought to have with it's smaller maps and no "ring of death" constantly corralling you in.

Might just give this a shot.

Please be Luftrauser 2. Pleeeeaaaase!

So? It was wrong then and it's still wrong now.

Amiibo are nothing more than physical dlc and no amount of marketing can change that fact.

This is all well and good, but what about RUNESCAPE?

@Ashunera84 So, just because a particular issue doesn't affect you personally means you should have the right tell people to shut up when they have an issue with something?

It's bad enough that Nintendo and other game companies think that they can screw us over with overpriced, undercooked games and remasters with dlc and battle passes; but it's abhorrent for someone like you to try to silence anyone who disagrees with those practices and belittle them for their concerns in the process.

Why should anyone be surprised? Remember what Nintendo did with Samus Reurns and how you’re required to have the Metroid amiibo to unlock hard mode and art galleries?

They could have easily included this in the game to slightly justify the price but chose not to and I’m beginning to fear that Nintendo is slowly turning into EA due to these signs

I mean, imagine Splatoon 3 with a battle pass with unlockable weapons, skins and all . That sounds nice, right?

Meh, I don't really care either way since it doesn't offer any real incentive to revisit the game, like with a special event or something of the sort or to even add more pokemon to the regions via a software update.

Heck, if I could describe my experience my entirety of Sword, it'd be this: played through the main story, beat it, tried the first dlc, got bored not even halfway through and stopped playing, haven't picked it up since.

If GF really want people to revisit gen 8, then they better offer a better incentive other than "here's a voting poll because we don't care anymore, pick what you want and leave us alone."

That's alright Nintendo if you don't want to put your more popular first party titles on the service; it just makes me feel less bad about emulating ROMs of those old games on my PC/handheld devices.

Y’know I wouldn’t be surprised if we got Cool World for SNES before SMRPG at this point.

And yes, while these games being released next week may be cult classics, it still doesn’t make sense to release all these less know third party titles when there’s plenty of first party titles at Nintendo’s disposal that people would appreciate more.

Imagine Nintendo's legal team being so petty that they shut a Kickstarter down because of a font.

Hopefully the kickstarter is released and if not, just another reason to show how outdated and draconian Nintendo's legal practices are.

Nah, the golden age was the early 2000's when we didn't have season passes and dlc shoved down our throats and could actually have all the content that was on the disk from day one.

As long as the title of their next project doesn’t start with ‘Star Allies’, I’m good

Imagine Mario fighting along side Lu Bu.

Nintendo needs to invest more into putting in more posters into their rewards program than these silly pins, note books and envelopes IMO

Meanwhile, news reports say that the sky is blue.

@ChakraStomps oh? And is suppose people who pirate abandonware of long discontinued games that will never see the light of day again are also sad as well?

Also, what proof do you have that piracy has lead to the season pass model other than corporations using it as a scapegoat to push these ant-consumer practices?

it sounds to me like you’re just making up excuses to demonize something you clearly don’t understand or on how little impact it has on the industry as a whole, which the same excuse can be used for used game sales as well.

It’s times like these that I am reminded how good we had it in the old days of gaming before greedy online practices started ruining it.

Ah well, At least I still have my RG351M! 😜

Truly, GF’s well of imagination knows no bounds.

And then I woke up.

@SwitchForce Indeed. Sad that Nintendo cares more about a tiny, insignificant thing like piracy more than giving people a reason to care about their shoddy online service that would encourage them not to pirate in the first place..

DingusDongus: That's my uncle.

@nessisonett I agree. While I don't agree with everything that game companies do and am harsh at times with my criticisms, that doesn't I'm going to attack the people working there. It's just uncalled for.

I see everyone here talking about Nintendo acquiring Capcom, Gamefreak, Konami, etc.

But is no one going to mention how cool it would be if they were to acquire Vanillaware?

C'mon, people, we need Odin Sphere and Dragon's Crown on Switch!!!!

@DrDaisy

"but age almost always has a devaluing effect on video games and this is no exception."

I feel the exact same way about Nintendo and it's fans trying to justify 3D All-Stars' msrp.

https://www.reactiongifs.us/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/raised_hopes_futurama.gif

It definitely has and Untold Legends/Diablo vibe to the gameplay and loot system, which is something I can definitely get behind.

Iwata warned us about what would happen if Nintendo went down this road(though he was more or less talking about going into the mobile market) and it seems he was right.

Though they seem to have made a fortune in recent years by expanding their business practices into other media , they seem to have forgotten what originally brought them that fortune in the first place, becoming more corporate as years pass.

If not for the pandemic and people being stuck inside their homes, Switch sales would not have done nearly as well and Nintendo knows this which is why they haven't been putting in nearly as much creative output as they used to back when they were struggling with the Wii U and even the first year of the Switch because they know they don't have to.

Ironic, considering this is a thing.

@Ralizah Glad to have ya on board.

Yeah, it's the same thing with old ps2/Gamecube games that Sony and Nintendo refuse to re-sell on their digital store fronts, and if you really want to know the truth about it, even piracy itself isn't nearly as detrimental to their profit margin as Nintendo and Sony make it out it be and is nothing more than a boogey man that they use to scare the unsuspecting player base with to keep them loyal to their brands.

Pfft, emulation sites have hosted the fan translation for years.

Y'all need to get with the times and stop relying on gaming corporations to always give you what you want and diy.

An Igavania Collection would be a welcome surprise.

The game we need but don't deserve.

But we already do have minis of other Consoles like GameCube and N64; you just need to pay a hacker on eBay/Etsy to access them 😂

Affirmative action at its finest 🤪

Umm, okay?

This looks very nice besides a few ntipicks about the length of the game icons.

I've mentioned this before in another article but Sony and Microsoft got this kind of thing right with the PS3 and XBOX360 with their UI customization and it baffles me that Nintendo has yet to catch up yet and even though this sort of thing isn't necessary as some have said, it's still a nice feature to have to make the console feel like it's yours, not to mention the folders make navigation more convenient with those of us with larger game libraries.

@JuiceMan_V I pride myself on my walls, thank you~

Like I said, Juice, if you like the service, that’s fine, but there’s plenty of us that expect more from a company like Nintendo and those criticisms shouldn’t be ignored just because these problems don’t personally affect you. Peace. ✌️

@JuiceMan_V So you're saying we shouldn't expect a better value for a paid online service because it's cheaper? And for the record, PSN and XBL were both around the same price as NSO on PS3 and XBOX360 at launch and still provided better value, not just with better netcode, but the UI for those consoles gave users customizable menus and avatar customization ,on 360; something people have been asking from Nintendo for Switch for the past four years.

And what proof do you have that NSO will get better besides wishful thinking? When exactly has the service gotten better? Don't you think four years should be more than enough time for NSO to get better, or, and this is a hunch, maybe Nintendo is complacent in not doing anything to improve the service because they know people are going to purchase the subscription regardless of any improvements because they know it's the only way for us to play their games online and are doing this to hold the consumer hostage?

Lastly, people don't just play fighting games competitively for money; many people play competitive for fun as anyone who has played street fighter or COD for that matter will tell you and having your input be behind or screen stuttering in a fighting game, even by a milisecond because of lag can ruin the whole match.

Look, if you think NSO is worth the money, fine, you do you; But don't assume everyone is going to tolerate this sort of service for the price, especially the competitive community.

@JuiceMan_V Who cares? Many, actually.

If you play Smash Ultimate as much as you say, than I know for a fact that you've noticed the input-lag and frame-skips which makes the game unplayable for us who play the game competitively and should be absolutely unacceptable for a paid subscription, no matter what the cost for the service is.

I'd honestly care more if Nintendo actually made buying a subscription worth it by ACTUALLY improving their online infrastructure and adding game libraries to the NSO that people actually care about i.e N64, GBA and Gamecube instead of drip-feeding us SNES and NES titles that we've been getting since wii that no one cares about.

All the more reason to keep emulators and rom sites alive and running, despite what big corporations might say.

Heck, if it wasn't for emulation, I wouldn't ever to be able to re-play old psx/2 classics like Gundam: Federation vs Zeon or the Robotech games and whether anyone wants to publicly admit it or not,(especially on this newsite) it is a necessary part of game preservation and needs to be protected, especially in an age where corporations are becoming more overreaching and caring less and less about their old retro titles and would rather see them lost in the wind.

@ModdedInkling the fellow brought attention to himself by wanting a petition to censor what NL says regarding “piracy” because his feelings were hurt.

@sanderev 🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻

Now if only we could get those ports/sequels of Mighty Flip Champs and and Mighty Milky-Way

A sequel to both Heist and Quest would be welcome: the rpg mechanics were a welcome change and I would personally like to see how much the devs could improve theme.

Turok 2 had multiplayer patched in after its re-release on Switch so I don’t see why RC can’t do the same.

@DK-Fan My guy, you do realize that Satoru Iwata himself was against the idea of Nintendo going to mobile to, right?

Would you classify him as a hater as well?
