Devs want to market these games the same way and using the same screenshots cuts down on time. Should they make special screenshots to sell each unique version? That’s just multiplying their work x4 for very little benefit. Is it lazy? Maybe. Is it grossly misleading? Not really.
If your burger doesn’t look EXACTLY like the picture in the advert, you’re going to demand your money back? Get a grip, people.
Love that this is getting remade, but this looks terrible. Like an entry level group of employees slapped this together in a couple months type bad. Or maybe a fan project that nintendo bought...
It looks cheap and low effort by Nintendo standards. Just not impressed.
Yawn. Could not care less about Smash. Dont worry, i wont be watching. Was there really a need for a Smash Direct right now? The game isnt out for nearly 4 more months. A Smash Direct would have been better a bit closer to release, no? Mid September, maybe?
I would much rather have a regular Direct focused on other games and the new Switch Online. Dark Souls Remastered release date?
I couldnt care less about Pokemon or Smash. Or Labo. Or Kirby. I barely care about the mediocre Mario Tennis Ultra Smash DX. At least Mario Party looks like it wont be completely awful, like 9 and 10 were. Not much for me this year i guess. Thanks, Nintendo! I havent bought a Switch game since Odyssey!
@N64SNESU Looks that way. Man, the Wii U is really looking better and better the longer the Switch is out. Had to hook mine up again as my Switch is just a Salmon Run machine.
Next up, Mario Golf with 6 hole courses! You know, for the quick, arcade fun!
Well, i didnt want to emulate your old games Nintendo. I guess I have no other choice now. Im not paying those exorbitant prices on old Gamecube games. Sorry not sorry.
Incredible game...that i got for $20 for my Wii U. I would buy it again for another $20. $60 is Crazy Town. Surprised this version didnt include Greedy Kong in addition to Funky!
Theres still precious little for Wii U owners on the Switch, not that Nintendo ever cared about Wii U owners. Maybe Nintendo will make some good, new games one day? Nope. We get ANOTHER Smash rehash. Yay?
After playing Odyssey, which is a masterpiece, and getting 650 moons, i do look back on 3DW with even greater fondness. Its a pure platformer whereas I see SMO as more of an adventure/platformer. I felt far more challenged on a consistent basis in 3DW. Theres nothing like Champions Road in SMO for example. A lot of the special stages in 3DW are quite challenging to get all 3 green stars.
@Grumblevolcano nah. The gamepad can be repaired anf the betteries replaced. Thats like saying the switch will be worthless because it relies too much on joy con lol
I love the change of pace. We’ve had five 3D Zelda games in a row that focus on dungeons. The last thing I want to do in botw is to spend 2 hours in a dungeon when there’s so much to explore.
The Switch library is decent right now. I just have BotW and Splatoon 2. Getting Odyssey on day one. A lot of smaller, independent games. Nothing wrong with that. I have and Xbox, so I have a ton to play. The Switch releasing mid-gen and being easy to develop for is paying off big.
I also have my Wii U still hooked up for VC and the numerous games not on Switch like Pikmin 3.
I love BotW. Bought it twice. Once for Wii U and again when I snagged a Switch. I love the old Zelda formula, but it was time to go a different route. I love the fact that you don't have a limited wallet. It was infuriating to get to a hard to reach chest, only to discover that it was a rupee that you couldn't hold. Stupid. Needless. Good riddance.
Also I didn't care for the music in past Zelda games. It had the subtlety of a jackhammer. Especially Twilight. Love BotW music and non-music. Hateno Village has beautiful music. The lack of music in the world is very immersive imo.
I'm glad I own a Wii U. In addition to having awesome exclusive games, it's a great legacy system. I hadn't owned a Nintendo home console since the NES. The Wii U allows me to catch up on most of the biggest hits from the past and full Wii BC.
I do own a Switch, but, so far, only have 2 games for it. It's okay. I don't game on the go. It's nice to play in bed or when my wife is playing the Xbox. Hopefully Mario will be as great as it looks and Nintendo has some huge surprises in store for 2018. The schedule after Odyssey lacks some luster.

The game of E3 for me! DAY. ONE. BUY.
Re: Bethesda Confirms Wolfenstein: Youngblood Will Include A Download Code Instead Of A Game Card
@Kr96 obviously it IS too expensive for them to use 32gb cards. Even if its an extra $1, that adds up very quickly on a mass scale.
Was there this mass outrage at P* for Bayonetta 1 & 2?
Re: Wolfenstein: Youngblood Might Come With A Download Code Instead Of A Game Card
Blame Nintendo for making a system with a pitiful amount or internal storage that uses expensive cards to play games from.
Re: Soapbox: I Don't 'Get' Smash Bros. And I Just Don't Know Why
Same. Its just another 2D fighting game with a Nintendo skin to me. Nothing to get too excited about.
Hopefully Fire Emblem will be good. Haven't bought a Nintendo game since Odyssey came out.
Oh, well. Guess ill just have to work some more shifts for Mr. Grizz in the meantime.

Thats literally all i want at this point.
Re: The Switch's Home Menu Uses Less Than 200 KB Of Resources For Super-Fast Load Times
The Switch has the snappiest UI ivr ever used in a vidro game system. I hope MS and Sony copy this! My Xbox takes an eternity by comparison.
Its gotta be that flash memory.

Re: Talking Point: Does Sega's AGES Announcement Mean The Virtual Console Is Dead?
Id love a physical Switch cart or digital compilation with the NES/SNES classic games on it. I dont want yet another system cluttering up my HT setup.

Re: Augmented Reality Street Fighter Is As Cool As It Sounds
@impurekind i feel the same way. This SF AR looks awful and boring. How is this better than designed stages?
Real life is usually quite mundane, which is why video games are a fun escape.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry Considers "Nintendo Switch Pro" With NVIDIA Tegra 2 Processor
Of course the Switch will eventually get an upgraded version. I doubt it happens before 2019. My bet would be March 2020.
This year is definitely too soon. Even 2019 is pushing it.

Got mine on Wii U for $20 about 2 years ago. I won't be picking this up at $60.
Owning a Wii U has its perks.
Re: Super Mario Odyssey Was Always Planned To Be Released On Switch

I love them both for different reasons.

Re: Here’s Why Traditional Dungeons Got Axed in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Re: Soapbox: The Switch Has a Big Problem, and It's Too Many Great Games

Great time to be a gamer!
Re: Soapbox: Breath Of The Wild Is Amazing, But Is It The 3D Zelda That Enthusiasts Expected?
I love BotW. Bought it twice. Once for Wii U and again when I snagged a Switch. I love the old Zelda formula, but it was time to go a different route. I love the fact that you don't have a limited wallet. It was infuriating to get to a hard to reach chest, only to discover that it was a rupee that you couldn't hold. Stupid. Needless. Good riddance.
Also I didn't care for the music in past Zelda games. It had the subtlety of a jackhammer. Especially Twilight. Love BotW music and non-music. Hateno Village has beautiful music. The lack of music in the world is very immersive imo.
