Everyone: Nintendo Labo is the perfect gateway into some of Nintendo’s greatest IP’s for kids, and some of the kits lend themselves to certain franchises.
The Switch has problems, sure, but one thing I’ve noticed with the Switch is it’s personality. My main take away from video games is the story, so in theory I should be far more attracted to Sony’s offerings. However, the worlds formed in games like Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey (and Tennis to a lesser extent, I see you Toad Commentators) makes the Switch feel unique whereas the Wii U had none of that.
My question is who is the final character? They said it would keep going to June, and every enemy in the game has now either been released or announced as a playable character.
As many say every single time one of these events occur, what’s the point for those who have already completed the spirits. I haven’t picked up the game in weeks, and this would be insentive to do so.
I don’t understand all this hate for Funko Pops, so,e of the, look pretty poor (like Pikachu for example), but I’ve got some Marvel and Doctor Who ones and they act as really nice shelf fodder.
The TCG is a mess. With new sets coming every three months, it is virtually impossible to collect a whole set, and eventually storage becomes an offer. Most of mine are away in storage, never to be seen again. My Ancient Mew’s are all I need.
@Stocksy Don’t brush me off like that. They aren’t just hiring three random people off the street to record a few lines. They’re getting 24-36 professional actors (languages and all that) to come in, sign a NDA, record lines and the Nintendo have to stealth add them to the game to avoid datamining. Call me a fanboy all you want, but with the amount of work Sakurai and his team have put in in the last two decades, I think taking measures to avoid a leak and not waste too much valuable money and money should be allowed. But, you know, that’s just my opinion.
@Stocksy Okay, look here. I’d get saying that with most games, but Smash Ultimate has more then enough content in its base game for a full priced game. The DLC is so pricy for multiple reasons:
-The characters will take a while to develop, so people need to be paid.
-Licensing fees, as it seems quite likely that the entire DLC roster is third party
The DLC will be more then adequate, let me assure you.
Not big on Fire Emblem myself, but that is one sleek design. A bit light on content, but I’m sure the price will equate. If they release a Pro Controller for this game, that might change my mind.
Pretty sure this is the big game Ninty we’re referring too. I’m really looking forward to it, but on the whole the Direct was lacking. Better then E3 2018, but worse then March and September 2018
Okay, let’s go through my predictions for a possible Direct.
-No 3DS Content
-Extensive Feature on Daemon X Machina
-Segment towards the end for Animal Crossing
-Release date for Fire Emblem
-Fire Emblem Direct announced.
-Pikmin 3 Port
-Boxboy Port + amiibo rerelease
-Metroid Prime Trilogy Port
-Assasins Creed 3 Remastered
-Spyro Reignited Trilogy
-End on either: Link Awakening Remake or Pikmin 4 Teaser
Thanks for reading, personally not expecting that Mario Maker 2 announcement to happen until E3, and I’m still sceptical about 2D Zelda (but I feel it would most probably be a remake)
EDIT-Also, I believe Retro’s project is Pikmin 4, for no reason whatsoever.

@Desrever In fairness, this is a British website run by a group of the nerdiest people in the country, of course Red Dwarf would come up eventually.

Re: Nintendo's Nindie Manager Hopes Cadence Of Hyrule Will Start An Indie Collab Trend
Donkey Kong X Shantae comes to mind, but honestly Nintendo just give Pikmin to someone if you aren’t going to do anything with it.

Re: Video: Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth Gets Brand New Story Trailer

I mean, this is nice and all, but when is Nintendo cancelling Link’s Awakening and replacing the trailer with Ponyo in the ocean instead of Link?

Re: Armoured Mewtwo Trademarked In Japan
Just so you all know, whenever Pokémon trademark everything it’s always about the TCG and everyone is always disappointed.

Re: Talking Point: Labo VR Is The Best Worst Idea Nintendo Has Had In Years
I have high hopes for this. They just need to be inventive and make use of their IP.
