Not gonna buy any tencent nintendo games. Say no to tencent domination!

@Crono1973

True! BUT you can buy the season pass AFTER all dlc has come out (did that with kingdoms battle) or you have it's gonna be good (did that with botw).
Will probably 3h as well but first I wanna see how this new story content turns out.

The only thing I am ok with are season passes as long as there is meaningful dlc. Microtransaction are just crazy or even predatory like in feh or pokemon go.

Curious how the switch will hold up against the next gen of home consoles if they want to keep the switch alive for much longer. Imo the best thing would be to introduce a new switch every 4-5 years with full backwards compatibility.

Think I will pass

Perfect game for the 3ds

After reading this article I bought myself a spare 2ds xl. It came with installed tomodachi and physical copies of pokemon moon and what seems to be a holy grail: teddy together, lol

To each their own

They will bring most definitely more fire emblem. The franchise is at its peak atm.

Pretty much open to anything. A new advance wars would be great (and F-zero)

@sixrings

True, it might never happen. Btw 2.5 years! I guess there will be another nintendo selects run.
The thing is, I buy my games according to priorities as I can't play them all and my backlog has grown to such an extent that I doubt I will be able to play it all, lol. Last month I got myself ni no kuni, links awakening and dq11. Still playing dq11 and havent even unpacked the other two. In the meantime they had a sale on etrian nexus on the german amazon, also bought dillons deadheat and sushi striker for cheap to get free shipping. Backlog growing. Still playing dq11 as we speak, lol. So yeah, I think I will wait a while to get Luigi.

I have both games on the 3ds and I can't say I am much of a fan. Wiill certainly get this one but (hopefully) on sale one day.

@Xansies

That is exactly my assessment! I played the original splinter cell on the original xbox and thought it was great. Then came sp2 a year later, sp3 a year later, sp4 a year later. I never played assassins creed but that game literally came out every year.

Hmmm.... gonna need to buy a spare 2ds or two.

@Heavyarms55

Ubisoft is underwhelming imo. Rabbids kingdom was the first ubi game I have played after maybe 15years. I don't get the rabbids design they look disgusting imo, maybe its some french humor I don't.

Do they have any good pvp games?

The price of a game isnt really important. I rather wait and save for a good game than buy a couple of mediocre ones.

Then don't bring the game

Sloppy. Easy pass for me

@SalvorHardin

Its the sales figures that are convincing.

Congrats! And geta life btw

It was surely a mistake. The gimmicky controler was unnecessary and made it expensive. Poor hardware specs didn't help to convince people to buy it. Nintendoland wasnt wii sports.
Worst of all, Nintendo didnt really support the system.

@Doofenshmirtz

They should have tested the game during development. I bought it for very cheap a year after it came out and I can say it's not worth the original retail price. Some games are just doomed for the bargain bin because everyone buys the best games first. Today I ordered etrian nexus from amazon germany and in order to get free delivery I bough dillon and sushi striker, would have never bought them day one.

@baochan

That would be true for all other gaming companies and its sort of regrettable.

But on the other hand I must agree its also kind of cool. I mean you buy a game for full retail price and know its gonna keep its value (codename steam notwithstanding, lol)

Is it just me or is this underwhelming?

@Belatarr
Don't get me wrong. But you try to make a connection between profit or the lack thereof and addiction. Thats not really the point imo.

Lets take drugs for example, generally they kill you or just ruin your life, pretty bad. But lots of artists, musicians, song writers, etc. have done drugs and made quite a profit or at least created some beautiful things. Probably a small percentage of drug users, lol, but that doesn't make their drug addiction better, or less addiction than those who didn't make it big. Addiction is addiction.
Gaming might have less positive side effects. ALTHOUGH I believe that my driving skills, which are relatively good if I say so myself, might have been sharpened through gaming. Or rather my mind in regard to reactions and situational assessment or something like that. I usually just take a small glimpse and see a picture of whats possible with my car and what not. Might seem dangerous to other people, though.

@Belatarr
You can be addicted to a boy/girlfriend for example. I agree the friends thing was a little farfetched but still likely.
The thing is: addiction is connected with habit formation and repetition. While certain things might not be called addiction per se, they still can be or become one.

Gaming addiction can be very versatile.
Let me share an example: I used to game a lot in the past. Since I didn't own a fast internet connection it was mostly single player. Games with a beginning and end. During my studies we had a presentation about gaming addiction (some 13 years back). The guy who held this presentation was addicted to ultima online. I wasn't aware of things as chinese farmers and other stuff. Guy said, he could spend like 14h a day playing it. Sometimes he just played 5-6h due to constraints and was frowned upon by other players. And that was his thing, being constantly in touch with other real people, although in the virtual world. He didn't care about the games I played at all. He was a smart guy btw.
Some games are plainly designed to get you hooked. They blatantly take advantage of your weaknesses or life situations. Like gacha games for example. Ever seen a report on jap gacha gamers who spend fortunes on a pixel char? Thats stuff an unrelated person can't relate to (didnt wanna use the term "normal person", lol)

@Belatarr
Thats totally debatable. People can become addicted to hanging around with friends, people can get addicted to jogging for example, work, sex.
And people can get addicted to gaming.

What a ball of sunshine these people are! Lol!
Any addiction has various causes. Humans are complex beings and you can't paint a black and white picture.
Gaming addiction is not physical for sure, lol.
Let's take a lonely and depressed person. Very prone to get addicted to anything that can fill the void.

This could be good.

@Daniel36
Nintendo presented the game during a direct. People were already afraid the next pokemon game will suffer, lol.
Whats there to experiment? It's not like this is a whole new genre they were working on. Seems to me they thought it will sell because its cute and from nintendo. And chances are it will, lol.

haha, what a garbage game. THB I had a feeling this one would be bottom tier when they announced it was eshop only. Why wouldn't they bring it out on a physical card? I mean its the pokemon creators, so there is some name to it.

Peeked my interest. Prolly grab it on sale

@Octane

It's the very same game content-wise.

@Octane

Or punish a game for (almost) no story at all/s.

A separate rating for ports in regard to performance in direct comparison to more powerful consoles wouldn't be a bad thing. I mean this solely from a technical point.

Witcher 3 has an overall rating of 9/10 or 90% on ps4/xbox. Are we getting the very same experience? No! Are we getting the very same game? Yes?

@Ralizah

So it performs 9/10. That's very good performance!

I think in regard to ports (and maybe generally) we should have a separate rating system. A rating for the game itself and a rating for performance only.

I have stopped buying ea games during the original xbox days - but the company still exists. Hmmm....

@Moroboshi876

It isn't mandatory. What is your point?

There are so many things in life that aren't mandatory. Doesn't make them good. Like child endangerment for example.

Look, I don't know about people complaining about having to pay for smr but I don't believe nintendo changed its monetization because of it. It was clearly planned this way. I

I say it again, it's a form of monetization that preys on the weak and vulnerable and somewhat tarnishes nintendo's image imo.

And as you said it's not mandatory, I didn't even try this game, what for?

@Moroboshi876

Tbh you seem to be a little bit naive. Mario run had nothing to do with the monetization of games like feh or mario kart, despite it being mentioned somewhere.

Nintendo didn't invent the predatory gacha system but they have fully embraced it. They didn't have to follow suit but they did.

You have to know, gacha games prey on the weak and vulnerable. People who for whatever reason feel spending tons if money on a single game (which they actually never own) makes them happy.

Thats all there is to it. It's a topic as old as gacha games themselves.

The thing is, in regard to feh, a lot of people would buy orbs if they were reasonably priced, like 10% of the actual price. I would.
But nintendo and other game companies arent out for occasional spenders, they are out for those who are willing to spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars on a waifu or husbando.

Tell me, isn't it sad when you think about it?

I only buy digital if I absolutely have to, and then only when the price has dropped significantly.
Should there ever be digital only I will stop buying new stuff. I dont even have time to play all the physical game I have already stockpiled.

I have been waiting for this my whole life....

NOT!

and another remake

Yo Kai definitely has its appeal - but Pokemon is just more popular and has a greater tradition with many adult fans. I played 1, got 2, and will buy 3 when its cheap. Yo kai 4 looks great

despite owning the original ds game I will buy this one again for collection sake - when it's become super cheap that is

got the cold case game. Was a fan of the ds games and thought why not. There is worse things I could do with my points.

Thanks for bringing this up NINTENDOLIFE, I think I haven't checked mynintendo in over a year

Easy pass for me.I never played the first two games, never appealed to me and this game won't change my mind.

BS - workers in Russia are afraid to speak out against their superiors. You never know what kind of contacts this ass has and what kind of repercussions they may have to face. They should have fired him. shame on nintendo

@Heavyarms55

agreed, it endangers real gaming. Companies realize they can make easier profit with a simple and repetitive game that is f2p on the outside and p2w on the inside. You can literally spend hundreds of not thousands of dollars and still not get the pixel character of your choice. and people will till praise cygames for its generosity. Furthermore it definitely facilitates gambling. These games are labelled as 13+. Of course, parents are responsible for their kids, but lets be real here. Gacha games are predatory and it saddens me that Nintendo has become part of it.

stupid gacha clowns , lmfao. Maybe one day their efforts will pay off and they finally get some real content in feh
