@NinChocolate Both River City and Double Dragon are owned by Arc System Works.

@Drac_Mazoku And lose their multi-platform appeal? No way!

I've come to realise, shortly after Disney moved away from first party development, Marvel Vs Capcom Infinite was confirmed. Coincidence? I think not!

This game was a collosal loss for Square Enix. It's baffling that they're not doing a physical release for this game.

Is it shameful for me to demand Virtua Racing HD after seeing this?

Nintendo is always successful in the domestic market, it's the international markets that they need to target!

As Nintendo fans, are we really to judge? Nintendo needs the general market, they already had Nintendo fans assured with the Wii U.

Meh, vocal minority. Ignore them, Nintendo has thought through with this transformation with their online services. It all boils down to execution, we don't need Miiverse back.

@Damo Aah, my bad. Thanks for clarifying.

At least they're outright open about the Wii U death. But they have to give a refund process like Playtonic as some people only backed the Wii U version.

@AlexSora89 Sometimes, copyrights work out for the better. Just look at Double Dragon and River City Ransom. Because Arc System Works owns the rights to those franchises, they can survive outside of a defunct company.

@Anti-Matter Kingdom Hearts is primarily a Sony franchise. All the games that have come to Nintendo are the side-games. And even so, the compilations are on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4.

I am a maniac for Kingdom Hearts so I'm so happy that's it's number 1.

Oh dear... another talented developer that'll face the chopping board by Nintendo's legal team.

It's a sad reality that the handheld gaming market is non-existent for Western developers.

@AlexSora89 I can elaborate upon the two potential situations. Relinquishing rights basically means that Sega no longer has the rights to Wonderboy (like they no longer have the rights to Rez). Licensing on the other means that, they still own the Intellectual Property, but it's the developers that are making the majority of the profit out of the game (like Fear Effect Sedna).

To clarify, is this docked or undocked?

@AlexSora89 Either Sega relinquished the rights or it's being licensed like Shenmue III.

I'll buy this on the Switch for the portability and support of Sega localisations.

@Captain_Toad Why do you care more about a video game franchise than the working conditions of the people who programme, create assets and direct the game? That's beyond selfish and feeding rights into the hands of Konami. And they're not rumours, they are facts. Various reputable sources have confirmed this. For you to "defend" a corporate entity like Konami is dissapointing just for the sake of an overpriced Bomberman revival game.

@singingbrakeman It's funny, ever since Sammy acquired Sega and created the consolidated holdings company, Sega Sammy Holdings, Sammy never jeapordised Sega gaming structure. Sega's gaming and Sammy's pachinko business were unafilliated with each-other to this day. Konami on the other hand is compromising home video gaming for their pachinko business. Unless Kojima gets an apology or the workplace practices change, I will never directly purchase a Konami game.

Really, I could go on, but you get the point. Stop avoiding this fact with rose coloured lenses for Bomberman, it's a legitimate concern that's damaging people's lives.

This should give you an insight into the revolting company.

@nab1 American Graffiti was a really good movie and that was directed by George Lucas when he was still talented. I respect Miyamoto's legacy, I just feel as though his credit is merely due to nostalgia and nothing more.

@River3636 Are you not aware of the workplace abuse that Komani runs its company with? corporate greed happens in the industry all the time, I'm accepting of that. The difference with Konami is that they treat their own developers just as badly as they treat their customers.

@Shiryu So? they've already been funded by Konami so they've got their pay. Plus, do you know how good their working conditions are? they're probably being treated as badly as regular Konami staff with unwarranted surveillance and humiliating side tasks. Your money is going directly to Konami.

I'm not surprised with the support. Bandai Namco have helped with Smash Bros. and Pokken Tournament so they'd definitely be on board.

I refuse to purchase anything from Konami. Their corporate greed has shredded them of any humanity.

People can hate Ubisoft all they want with their relationship with Nintendo, but at the very least, they're trying to make the most out of the Nintendo Switch in its early years.

No disrespect, but I feel as though Miyamoto is the George Lucas of Nintendo now.

I NEED A SWITCH PORT NOW!

I really want to remain as a tech demo simply because I don't want to see another foolish take down story.

They should have focus tested before mass producing it.

Monolith Soft as a developer are really good with Pixel Art. Just look at Xenogears and Project X Zone as examples.

I really hope we get a three in one collection in the west as opposed to just Sega Classics 2. That's means that were not losing out on any of the 3D Sega games.

Good. I have a reason to keep my PlayStation 4. Not everything has to be ported to the Switch. And for people saying that he was rude, he wasn't. He just got fed up of a request that involved a lot of NDA on his part.

Isn't Glory of Heracles first party to Nintendo after the former publisher went defunct?

I really want Nintendo to dabble in the robot genre. Bandai Namco currently owns the field with Gundam and Super Robot Wars.

Tagging Grant Kirkhope in the reveal was a really degrading move by Laura.

I'd laugh my butt of if a Switch port was in the works.

Don't make this Argos exclusive for the United Kingdom!

@Shiryu Cheers man, Armor King is very under-rated as a Fighting character. But back to topic, these "fan-games" are more trouble than they're worth now. Essentially, what these creators are doing is asset flipping. Nintendo is well within their rights to be as adamant as they are with take-downs.

@Shiryu After AMR2, do some of these developers ever learn?

On the one hand, these are non-profit fan projects that pay tribute to Pokemon, but on the other hand, these people are using the intellectual property without The Pokemon Company's permission. Ultimately, it's better off to go in a Freedom Planet or Axiom Verge direction.

@DanteSolablood I always seen it as more of a cultural bias if anything. Japanese consumers are more supportive of Nintendo and Sony because they're domestic whilst Microsoft is more of an overseas product.

Well, this is interesting...

@XCWarrior But that's partly because it's an iOS exclusive right now. Apple's market share in the mobile industry isn't as large as it used to be...

@Equinox the Wii U is the second best home console in the Japanese market and look how that panned out for Nintendo. I'm so glad that I bought myself a PS4 Slim, I love Nintendo, but no offence, if the majority of third parties are going to Sony then that's where I want to be. I want the widest variety of games available to me.

A regular NES is more cheaper than an NES Classic so it's worth the investment.

@Kirby-life What's wrong with the Pixel art? It stays consistent with the DS Dragon Quest remakes!
