I feel like, if Nintendo were to push something similar to this to market, it may actually stand a chance. It's something to think about, even if it's unlikely.
@JayJ I hope so too. My only comfort is that I like how ConcernedApe pushes updates. He usually develops an update until it's pretty stable and then rolls it out. (Unlike some other companies cough Microsoft cough)
If something goes wrong, he gets right on and fixes it. Not to mention he has a small team helping him this time around so it'll be quicker. It'll probably be fine.
If he signed an NDA and/or contract, and then purposely broke them to leak that info, then it makes sense why Epic would sue. The only reason why it sounds ridiculous and has blown up like this is because, well, it's Fortnite. I think that the "leaker" (for lack of better term) is in the wrong here, Epic is well within their rights to sue.
[Also, thinking about it, it'd seem to me like Nintendo would probably do so as well. In fact, they probably already have...]
Okay, listen, if there's one thing I love: it's all of the Ice Age movies. So this, to me, looks actually kind of fun. Sounds dumb... but looks fun. Might buy it just because!
I'm personally not into having Terraria on my Switch, but can see how it's a perfect fit for the console. Not for me--but maybe for someone else!
@rjejr That is a great resource to determine whether or not a game is worth full price. It's how I've decided whether or not to buy games, and I couldn't recommend it enough.
Honestly, I'd love it if they would just bring Virtual Console back. I would literally throw my money at Nintendo for it. (Well, okay, maybe not literally but hopefully you get my point.)
I am going to play some old school NES games like Dr. Mario (my new favorite)...as well as some Splatoon 2, Animal Crossings (GameCube) and Boom Blox, of all games!
@JayJ Tell that to my little brother, he's always complaining about it being slow and I'm just sitting there with my Switch like "Well that's unfortunate".
@tourjeff I first played it when I was 9, and I couldn't grasp the controls very well at first for either game. If the 7 year old is willing to be patient while learning, then yeah. Otherwise, wouldn't even consider it.
@Bondi_Surfer I doubt they're just going to throw NES games on there and call it a day. They should've just brought Virtual Console back as it was a great way to capitalize. Nintendo's gotta stop shredding their cards.

Re: Review: Portal: Companion Collection - A Nintendo Debut For Two All-Time Greats
Great to hear the framerate is near rock-solid 60fps. With the Switch being, well, the Switch: I'll admit I was a bit skeptical!

Two of my all-time favourite games finally hit the Switch! Woohoo!

I seriously doubt they know about it, as well, and I also doubt that it'll be announced in 2020.

Re: Random: Teen Uses 3DS, Wii U And A Fridge To Tweet After Parent Confiscates Her Phone
There's a lot more to this story. If I were NL, I'd be searching around that Twitter thread people have linked. Nothing about this girl adds up...
Re: Ice Age: Scrat's Nutty Adventure Scrambles To Switch This Fall
Okay, listen, if there's one thing I love: it's all of the Ice Age movies. So this, to me, looks actually kind of fun. Sounds dumb... but looks fun. Might buy it just because!

Re: Bethesda Might Have More Surprises For Nintendo Switch Owners In The Future
Fallout 76 would NOT be a good fit for Nintendo Switch. Fallout 4 on the other hand...

@scottdevine48 Agreed, though the original Adventure had voice actors.
Re: Video: Nintendo Would Like To Remind You That 2DS Exists This Christmas
I get why this exists, but I hate the design of the 2DS XL. It's ugly. I prefer the 3DS XL heavily over it because of it...
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 29th)
I am going to play some old school NES games like Dr. Mario (my new favorite)...as well as some Splatoon 2, Animal Crossings (GameCube) and Boom Blox, of all games!

@KoopaTheGamer This sounds awfully familiar. I think it's already been covered before. Anyone up for finding it?
Re: Diablo III On Switch Will Include amiibo Support, According To Blizzard Developer
Might I suggest marking this down as a rumor until we know it's been really confirmed? I'm very skeptical at the moment.
Re: Feature: The Day I Met Donkey Kong On Live TV
Wow. Just wow. That was touching.
Re: Review: de Blob 2 (Switch)
@tourjeff I first played it when I was 9, and I couldn't grasp the controls very well at first for either game. If the 7 year old is willing to be patient while learning, then yeah. Otherwise, wouldn't even consider it.

So I already own a majority of those games, and the one's I don't, I really don't want.
In other developments: I tried the quiz and got 5/5. I should probably go outside or something....I spend way too much time gaming.
Re: Spewart Hat And Suit Added To Super Mario Odyssey
Every time I think I've 100% the game, they go ahead and add another costume.
Stop, please. I beg you. For the love of all that is Peach.
Re: Nintendo Classic Mini Double Pack Releasing In Japan On 15th September
@Bondi_Surfer I doubt they're just going to throw NES games on there and call it a day. They should've just brought Virtual Console back as it was a great way to capitalize. Nintendo's gotta stop shredding their cards.

I don't have either of them. Missed out on launch!
