@Abeedo It isn't valid BECAUSE they're ex-Nintendo employees that haven't worked there for years but NintendoLife likes to pretend that they have valuable insider knowledge. All they spout are opinions based on outdated internal company knowledge for clicks. It's REALLY annoying, especially since they rarely have anything nice to say anymore.
@PizzaKing Same. I don't know why NintendoLife acts like their knowledge is important. All they were to Nintendo were PR people. They might have some insider info on some of their internal politics but its been years since they've worked there at this point.
Have you noticed that they ALWAYS have something negative or "revealing" to say? It's all for clicks and nothing else. Truth is, they don't know anything about how current Nintendo operates and only pretend to based on outdated knowledge from positions that weren't even THAT close to the higher ups at the company to begin with. They're just grifters pretending to be insiders. At the end of the day, they don't know anymore than you or I.
@ManaOwls How is this Mid Gen in anyway? Brother we are getting 4K 60 FPS on this thing. The console even supports 120FPS HDR. The upgrade is phenomenal here, far more than I was personally expecting.
I mean, I welcome more competition I guess. Competition keeps companies in check, so anything that makes Nintendo fight for the top spot is a good thing in my book. Although I have zero faith in Microsoft's ability to market a game console. They have no clue what they even are anymore.
@Henmii At 30 FPS? Sure. But this game targets a locked 60. Ain't no way you're getting any more detail out of the original hardware, this is a good as it gets.
@Henmii How? The game looks gorgeous, very much in the vein of Prime Remastered which is considered to be one of Switch 1's best looking games. I honestly think comments like this are especially dim considering this is and always has been a Switch 1 game. What were you expecting? Do you think the Switch can suddenly pull power out of thin air to make this game look like a PS5 game? Have realistic expectations. Your disappointment is on you.
It's insane that these two act like sales and global marketing experts when they were just....PR people that had a quirky YouTube show. You know they only said this for engagement and sadly, we're playing right into their hands. I really dislike these two, they need to let it go already.
Us: "Hey Nintendo, could you MAYBE pick up the pace and release multiple albums a week on your music app?"
Nintendo: "Hmmm....you know what? Sure. We here at Nintendo understand your desire to listen to our music and engage with our content outside of our games. So we're going to drop THREE soundtracks on the service for this week."
Us: "THREE?! Wow! Okay, awesome! What are they? Tears of the Kingdom? Fire Emblem Three Houses? Xenoblade Chronicles X releases this week, so maybe that game? Oooh or maybe a classic like F-Zero GX or Kirby Air Ride???"
Nintendo: "Better than that! Here's our soundtracks for Dr. Mario, and TWO versions of Tetris, the NES and Gameboy soundtrack! ENJOY!"
I 110% agree. It can obviously be a case by case basis depending on what kind of game you're making, but ultimately if a game is Japanese in nature, it should cater to that audience.
Take Persona for instance. The culture within each game is heavily Japenese centric and I wouldnt want it any other way. I've learned so much about different foods, social cues and practices because of these games. I can't tell you how many times I've Googled a certain food or what "Senpai" actually means. And Japenese centric games just have a certain look, feel and appeal and it would be a damn shame if that was left behind. It's a part of their culture that I welcome wholeheartedly.
Western games have their place but gaming would be very boring if it just appealed to America and Europe.
@N00BiSH I don't understand how creating an entirely different button scheme for menus is more intuitive than jut making it the same across both Bros. Sounds like you just have rose tinted glasses here.
@N00BiSH It IS a problem though because like I said, it would fundamentally change how the plug menu works for both Bros so it makes sense to streamline it. It's really not a big deal anyway, I don't know why you're letting it bother you so much.
@N00BiSH This is such a non-issue. I don't understand why people are so upset about. Sure, it trips up muscle memory but it's not a bug at all. And plus, making Luigi's actions tied to B would effect how the Plug menu works which would be confusing.
I admit, it did trip me up at first but I got over it after the first few areas. Once you get used to it, it's second nature like anything else.

Re: Feature: "If The Game Does Not Sell Well, We May Be Done" - It's Do Or Die For Too Kyo Games & 'The Hundred Line'
Yikes. Why is it so do or die? Do Dangonronpa games not sell well? Zero Escape is also pretty popular from what I gather. What's going on here?
