I hate to say this, but I think Nintendo will also be behind the eight-ball when it comes to security. I always though Japan was this world of high tech, but as we are finding out more and more they are the land of Fax Machines and pagers from the 90's.
Cyberpunk style on foot story campaign mixed with racing. Traditional F-Zero racing, but also an open zone city to explore, street racing and battles. Captain Falcon has to fight off the competition in the mean streets of Mute City.
I am firmly in the camp Nintendo is building the Switch 2. I don't think the pro make any sense from a business standpoint.
What makes allot of sense is a new dock that upscales the image to 1440p and without adjustments by developers could lower the resolution of games for better frame rates and then upscale back to 1080p.
@Anti-Matter Right, this is clearly a mobile game. All mobile games that want to make any money are free to play. It is just how it is. They aren't going to change that because you don't like it. I like that mobile games come to Switch.
Everyone there at Activision is just waiting for the legal to finish up and the ink to dry on the deal with Microsoft and then everyone walks away with a golden parachute.
@Stocksy If the US is getting 10 we have no chance. Even scalper prices will eventually go down when Nintendo releases the gold N64/GoldenEye controller.
@BobLong-RickTangle they could fix the issue simply by making more. I think the problem is they are made in China and boats are stuck in ports. Everything is running low.
@Magrane This is what we used to call an XBLA game. It was never going to come to an expensive cart to sell for $30. LRG is basically just created overpriced but fun physical collector editions.
If Nintendo put a music app on the Switch and put their vast sound collection on there and added it to the NSO Expansion Pak, I promise you it would explode with subscribers.
I literally think the reason they haven't done it is there is no sound producers free who they could give the job to. They won't carve out resources and time for it, no it would have to be a weekends and nights passion project from some senior sound person at Nintendo.
So my wife recently had a distant great aunt die and leave some thousands to her. And so we are planning a trip to America and I am trying to convince her California! But I wish they would built thr Florida Nintendo World first!
You know what, why doesn't Nintendo just take up pre-orders again and then ship them as soon as they come into stock.
I mean where at the 10 controllers they are selling coming from? A lost crate somewhere in China?? Surely they should be making millions of these and selling them worldwide with subscription bundles in stores.
Honestly I would give this one the Metroid Prime treatment. I would make a third person cyberpunk semi-open world to explore, do on foot combat and quest systems and then also have the epic races both on official tracks and in the streets.
If I was an EA investor I would be extremely concerned about the future of the company. Their core business is FIFA and Madden and those are in flux. Their shooters have all bombed and they didn't diversify by making more games. They have Respawn until they choke it to death like Bioware and Popcap and Maxis, etc.
EA may regret not investing onto the Switch given it is thr 5th best selling console of all time! Where is Classic Battlefront? Where are the Sims?
The Switch is the first Nintendo Console (not including wii u) since the N64 to not have a Sims game.
And yet these publishers keeping doing the same thing over and over chasing fads like NFT and loot boxes. They just want to be Sega and make gambling games.
Don't be fooled this is a high quality mobile game which is also coming to Switch. Same with Star Wars Hunters, that also is a high quality mobile game.
These will be free to play and have aggressive monetization practices.

Re: Random: Nintendo Shareholder Apparently Asked For A New F-Zero At General Meeting
We are never getting Gamecube coming to NSO. So a remake of F-Zero GX is far more likely then you think.
Re: Random: Nintendo Shareholder Apparently Asked For A New F-Zero At General Meeting
Here is my elevator pitch for F-Zero.
Cyberpunk style on foot story campaign mixed with racing. Traditional F-Zero racing, but also an open zone city to explore, street racing and battles. Captain Falcon has to fight off the competition in the mean streets of Mute City.

Re: Disney Dreamlight Valley Opens Gates For Early Access In September
@samuelvictor The truth is that all mobile games go down that route. They loose players so milk the ones that are left.

Re: Switch Online N64 Controllers Were Restocked Today, Did You Get One? (North America)
@Courtest1 If they wanted to seriously make money sell the controller with 12 months of NSO+Expansion pack for like $100 at Walmart.
Re: YouTuber Ends Metroid Prime Music Covers After Nintendo's Lawyers Call
