I think the Pokemon company and Nintendo are taking the mick here. Are they going to charge extra to play their extremely old games that any phone can download for free and play??
I think more than ever with theme parks and movies Nintendo is trying to keep the focus on Nintendo and not a particular dev.
I feel like Nintendo itself has decided it is now bigger than simply a game developer but now they are fostering a global brand that transcends one medium. Best to focus on Nintendo the brand with all it’s projects.
It's small dev with limited budget and clearly the quality could not be maintained on Switch.. A game like this used to run flawless on Nintendo DS and 3DS, Switch is more than powerful enough. It is simply a lack of money and knowhow that made this fail.
Hopefully it will be patched, because the Switch is probably the ideal platform for sales.
Wait a minute, are you trying to tell me Epic is CHARGING money for virtual Lego items? I thought all video games were free???? I mean this is Fortnite, and you are trying to tell me there is a store that charges money?? Who ever heard of such a thing??!!!
If you didn't think the "free" Lego expansion was not going to sell you stuff you need to have your head checked.
This I believe the only Star Wars game that lets you easily drive AT-AT's around at will. The newer Battlefront games treat them like short timed rail events.
I was hoping this work like a Yoshi game where you have a to b levels but then to 100% it is more challenging. Also there is loads of collectibles to earn.
I think there is a misconception that Nintendo because they don't have the best graphics and go for lesser hardware that they are some kind of c-tier company in the world of video games.
Nintendo is one of the richest companies in Japan.
I also have heard that Japanese companies are very demanding but usually have very good boundaries for weekends and holidays. But while your working they expect 100%.
The truth is that all the big 3rd party publishers have gone with this uni-platform approach of X86 PC like engines. They no longer put it on everything like they use to. Now it's just PS/Xbox and PC. And yes they could make more money by putting it on Switch, but they don't think it would make enough money.
This is why GTA V is not Switch, they figure those players who care already own a Playstation or Xbox. Why put the resources into a "kiddy console".
Imagine if Nintendo released a book with backgrounds to use all those stickers that come with various game pre-orders. Would make an epic my Nintendo reward.
@GogGogGogGog yes I believe Gold Mario does have some differences. For example in Mario Party 10 gold Mario was a figure if you used it. Possibly have some interaction with Mario Odyssey as well.
If they were to ever announce Mother 3 I would do it at the Game Awards and have Reggie come out and do a bit about people asking for Mother 3, and then just go..."ok." and the trailer rolls.
@DTFaux you might be kidding but I am busting out the ring fit adventure because I want to ride that thing!!! We go to California in August all the way from England.
Saudis are smart, oil isn't going to last forever and they need to diversify. Nintendo is the stock to buy right now. Next gen console and movie is going to send it soaring.

Re: Reminder: LEGO Animal Crossing Sets Are Out Today, Will You Be Picking One Up?
I bought Isabel’s Visit and it’s small but gives you the best “starter set” experience as it comes with a house, Isabel and tools, a garden, etc
It uses the Mario round connector piece system so you could connect it with Lego Mario for a bizzaro Nintendo Lego crossover.
Just like with Lego Mario these will I think get larger adult focused sets in the future.
The sets are very well priced for what it is. Easy to mix these with other Lego bricks for more stuff.
