Re: DFC Intelligence Believes Nintendo Switch Can Shift 40 Million Units by 2020

Nintendo Switch has great potential, only thing it has working against it is ... Nintendo.

I love Nintendo games and was all set for pre-order. Now after hearing about voicechat only via smartphone - possibly all hub-stuff also, limited production & fewer games than expected, bad choices like no charging in the standard JoyCon-thingies (don't remember what that part is called ), no bundles/included software etc. etc. I'm a bit more cautious. I'll still get one for the first-party games only Nintendo can produce, but I'm not as optimistic about the systems future as I was.

Nintendo obviously still has problems letting go of the past... too bad.

@Yalaa "Itagaki was really screwed over by NoA, i feel kind of bad for him cause even if it's a game if Sony or Microsoft had published this game they would have hyped the game to the max even if the end results wouldn't turn out so good."

In case you don't realise, this is a good thing about Nintendo as opposed to Sony / Microsoft.

Re: European Wii U and 3DS eShop Cyber Deals Now Confirmed

Spideron

Got all the WiiU games, both Box Boy games plus Wooly World & Paper Jam. The rest I'm not interested in. This is usually the case as Nintendo just put out 2-3 of their highest sellers for sale. So all that benefits from these sales are the people who normally don't buy games, not us that support Nintendo in a major way. Which is a shame...

Re: Talking Point: The Problems With My Nintendo So Far, and Why All's Not Lost

Really miss the Club Nintendo-codes included in physical releases as that's my preferred format.

Also sucks that DLC etc. don't count. I bought the Minecraft Chinese Mash-Up Pack yesterday for my kids and expected to get 10 gold coins for it but found that Nintendo only reward full titles - not add-ons. If you have a rewards program, it should reward you for how much you spend regardless of what you spend it on!

Not that it matters much though. I haven't found anything of interest besides the Zelda Picross thing. (And I bought the My Nintendo 3DS themes just to get something for my coins.)
