It'd be awesome if they also made new Spirit fights to promote other upcoming games, such as Splatoon 3, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Mario & Rabbids: Sparks of Hope, Advance Wars: Re-Boot Camp, Sonic Frontiers, Triangle Strategy and/or Bayonetta 3.
Making Spirit fights doesn't take as much effort or resources as say a new character, presumably a skeleton crew could do them. May not happen, but it'd be nice.
Would be awesome if they added more Spirits, such as ones for Pokémon BDSP, Advance Wars, Splatoon 3, Kirby and the Forgotten Land and so on. Ah well, it was a great run.
...Oh, it's just something for YouTubers and influencers. I thought for a moment they were looking to recruit Indie developers, have them make games with some of their neglected IPs, such as DarkStalkers.
Hm. Interesting, but I'd rather get some of the Amiibos I've wanted to get for a while, mainly the Archer and the Rider BOTW Link and the Monster Hunter ones.
...And I kid you not, I just bought it for PS4 last Thursday during the Black Friday 2021 PSN Store Sale. Had I known it'd come for Switch, I'd have waited. Oh well, still awesome news.
Hopefully they later bring more of Vanillaware games, such as Odin Sphere, Dragon's Crown and Muramasa.
Such is the Power of Nintendo! With so many awesome games plus its lower entry price compared to other platforms, it's sure to be the masses' main pick for quite a while.
Regarding PS5's low search results, I'd say that it's the price and lack of enough exclusives at this point to make it desirable to mainstream consumers. In a few years it may be the most wanted Tech thingamabob, though.
Hm, not into this franchise. Barely heard of it so not very interested... On the other hand, that means I can focus on my other Warriors games and getting SW5.
WAH If... the WarioWare crew were playable in Mario Kart 9? WAH If... Penny learned magic and Ashley studied science? WAH If... 9-Volt were a PlayStation fan? WAH If... Orbulon actually conquered Earth? WAH If... 18-Volt had lost the rap battle with 13-Amp?
This may also support the rumors that GTA Remasters are on the way. Take Two wouldn't want any competition that could kill off demand for their remasters, if they're true.
Awesome. I still have to get this game, hopefully some time in the future.
@zool Depends on multiple factors. Not all games cost the same to produce, not all are expected to sell the same. Some receive a big budget for marketing, others get little if anything at all.
Some games may just sell hundreds or "merely" tens of thousands of units and still be considered successful... while others may sell over a million or two and still not meet minimum sales goals.

Re: Kirby And The Forgotten Land Scores March Release Date, New Trailer Appears
It looks great. Funny how Waddle Dees were defeated en masse in previous games, yet now Kirby is supposed to help them. How things have changed.
Also, nice to see Meta Knight confirmed. Wonder also what King Dedede is up to this time.
Re: Surprise! Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Is Getting A Brand New Spirit - Street Fighter's Evil Ryu

Re: The Wonderful 101 Kickstarter Rewards Continue To Face Delays
Sigh. Platinum, we like you, but please don't self publish again until you've got the hang of it.
I just bought W101 off the eShop around release... And though it has some awesome sections, there are others that slog down the game.

Re: Nintendo Switch Is The UK's Most Wanted Black Friday Tech Deal, Apparently
Such is the Power of Nintendo! With so many awesome games plus its lower entry price compared to other platforms, it's sure to be the masses' main pick for quite a while.

WAH If... Orbulon actually conquered Earth?
WAH If... 18-Volt had lost the rap battle with 13-Amp?
