Mewtwo took a lot of effort in melee to unlock...and what about Devil Jin in Tekken 5...stop complaining that they game isn't built for tournaments...Smash was never built with that in mind anyway
How was this list made is beyond me. Its judging criteria isn't expansive enough and is in need of a rewrite to better facilitate how big this series si
People seem to be really picky about a company's own property. "If you don't give us what we want we'll just pirate it."
Coupled with the fact that they protect their ip by releasing on their terms in their ways either to help market something or new ideas. You think snes mini would have been as successful if the entire snes library was available on switch?
It's a privelage we get to play these games in the first place. It's not our place to negotiate as consumers and essentially blackmail them. We can voice our unhappiness with this or celebrate it. But threatening a business with illegal activity is not the strongest case, just because it's easy to do doesn't mean we should resort to it instead.
If being different is what they aim for....how about not paying to use online services that aren't selling points in this day and age? That's one thing Wii U had over the other consoles was free online and I loved it for that.
I don't think I can agree with this placing...It's just odd. Would you really go back and play SUMO over USUM? Yellow lower than Red & Blue. Is this list based on legacy? Or quality? Or opinion? Because it isn't consistent in any category. Please, someone explain
It was confirmed by "Niantic's head of marketing for Pokémon GO in Japan, Kento Suga, has started tweeting about this, indicating that it is a tease and not a mistake."
Online service is silly. Online is a given, cloud saving isn't a selling point anymore, NES games...that is good! Every other communication offers free party communication without hassle. This is an announcement...don't hold off on the hidden extras!! You're trying to entice us
From a business point of view road-maps are so important to investors so with them holding back information.... "We love to surprise the overall community and environment, and when we surprise, we surprise big."
Doesn't quite sit well...so it's no surprises (ahah) that stock fell because it's less to work with investment wise.
So I have the Anker 20100+ powerbank. It comes with two USB-A ports and one USB-C port and included with cables matching different ways of connecting to the switch.
Does anyone know if it's safe to use? I'm overseas and this is the whole reason I bought it...
@the8thark It's pretty clear that Odyssey is in another ballpark if you put it side by side with Y-L. Not saying Y-L is bad but it ain't a contender for many people's GOTY for valid reasons.
So not only did we have to wait for this version when many could have bought on another platform but we could buy it a second time and it would still be cheaper than the Switch version....Was super excited to finally play this but going to have to wait now.
I don't even know more than half of these games so not really missing them. I reckon what they have is balanced out well. You add in Chrono Trigger that may make too many RPGs at once. People should be content with 'the other best rpg of all time'
If I could add any in it would be amazing if we got a translation of one the Fire Emblem games for it though. -Legend of the Mystical Ninja -Micro Machines -Zombies at my Neighbors -Earthworm Jim
I believe not from a business stand point that Nintendo aims to do what the rest can't. If they were a carbon copy of Sony and Microsoft then the gaming world would be very different, not trying to downplay the two at all but we all know how different Nintendo is. Sometimes it doesn't work but sometimes it does and the fact that millions can enjoy that which Nintendo brings is truly amazing.
->Happy that so many Nintendo IPs are getting another round this year and the next. ->Sad that they didn't confirm anything to do with localizing Monster Hunter and no image of art or direction for this Pokemon game. The direct itself could have been done better and included the other reveals shown in the tree house but overall their E3 has been a good one.
They said it themselves that this console was supposed to bridge the gap between handhelds and the smartphone players...to do that you need to have other features aside from just games.
Saw another guide that said not to link your account with My Nintendo as one of the most important steps. You can then restart your game albeit by reinstalling and re-rolling to get the best heroes with Orbs. i myself learnt about this too late but a handy tip nonetheless.
@electrolite77 A game console has to be cheaper because it is a limited function unlike a good PC which is a lot more expensive and it is. If people can afford a phone they can afford this, different uses yes but it's all dependent on what the buyer will use their money on
Guys it's really not that expensive...you'll happily spend over 500 for a brand new iPhone. It's being released as a new piece of tech so I think it's fair
That whole video they thought it would be funny to joke about a release date for Zelda and keep everyone on edge ....No This was supposed to win over everyone as a new peice of technology. Show what's to come and give us all an incentive to buy at launch, yes it has Zelda which is great but what about other people that are to make the switch over to this console that aren't quite sold on Zelda what else do they have?
Everything else I am so excited for beyond words but it needs the Launch line up secured before it starts getting ahead of itself with release dates down the line.
@BranJ0 Ahh that explains it perfectly, thanks. In this day and age if it's not as mind blowing as a previous installment it's not as 'good' in the eyes of a reviewer
Wait that review confused me. They gave a game a lower score because they didn't want to pay for it? Didn't agree by paying real money for virtual content.....that's what gaming is!!!!

@Kalmaro Pretty sure this already has overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam so no difference on switch.
