Re: "The Wii U Was On Life Support" - Reggie Restates The NES & SNES Classic's True Purpose

@mattitudemf He was saying the opposite. Nintendo not releasing mini consoles is a result of their greed, since because the Switch consoles are doing so well, they can just bring back older games through their subscription service rather than offer a one-time purchase method in the form of mini consoles. The Virtual Boy situation is a perfect example - they knew they wouldn’t be able to sell a Virtual Boy mini console, so why not just sell an accessory that allows you to access Virtual Boy titles but requires you to own a Switch and a premium subscription? That way, they can grab those who specifically want Virtual Boy games without having to produce a Virtual Boy mini console that would be ignored at retail stores because no one outside of die-hard Nintendo enthusiasts cares about the Virtual Boy

Re: Pocketpair Continues To Defy Nintendo With New Palworld Trademark

Wish they’d just come to some sort of agreement. Sick of this patent nonsense and all these Pokémon-lookalikes walking around and all this stupidity in general. Just get them to make their game more visually and slightly mechanically distinct and then leave it at that. No patenting of every near mechanic. Companies have a right to make sure their ideas are safe from being blatantly copied, but this is a situation where Nintendo is splitting hairs when it comes to patents. But, obviously, Palworld isn’t innocent here - they essentially ripped-off Pokémon from character designs to mechanics and had the audacity to act like they were being bullied once the whole thing started. There ultimately should not be a winner here.

Re: Nintendo Announces Sweeping Price Hikes For Switch 2

@Kingy You underestimate the popularity of gaming. It’s not just some cool toy anymore. Everyone thought mobile devices would put an end to consoles. Did that happen? No. PCs are not going to take over, everything is getting more expensive so it’s not like console price hikes are that unethical to the point where people are going to boycott them, and again, crashing the industry is not going to suddenly make everything better unless some new Nintendo has a wild idea to fix everything. Gaming is not going to die just because some people find the prices to be offensive
