Is cross-play planned for it?

@Spoony_Tech It's already out. It's called Pinball FX3 for some reason.

I sure hope this is good. Advance Wars is, by specific insider accounts, truly dead and buried for the foreseeable future, so if this strikes out then it's going to be an even longer wait for Wargroove to pick up where it left off.

@memoryman3 I don't get it. What's the joke here?

Absolutely hilarious that Japan is complaining about something like this. Japan has had it too good for years. They can take one for the team for once.

If there's anything to actually get upset about that matters, it's that only four games have online play and they don't include Street Fighter Alpha 2 or the other two Street Fighter III games.

It took me a year but I finally 'get' this game. That is, I now understand the goal. Now I'm working out the most efficient ways to get four of a single character and turn them into my squad of elite, yet overspecialized enforcers.

Well I'd sure love to be able to look into this myself, if only Nintendo would allow me.

Now I want to buy this because I want to see how not ready, brother it is for myself.

If he's just going to be passive-aggressive about wanting to work with Nintendo, that's as far as he and his company are ever going to get.

Sure they can.

I haven't played any of the Mega Man X games after SNES so I'm looking forward to see just how terrible the later ones are.

I don't have any issues with the current graphics. It's all it needs to be and nothing more. I'd rather they try not to make it especially flashy like a lot of people seem to want. They probably don't have the budget for it anyway.

Also, it's extremely telling how the very first thing they showed with Mega Man 11 is gameplay, unlike Mighty No.9 which showed off concept art first.

This thing will never come out.

So this long-lost game will finally be published on Switch, but only in limited physical copies with no digital release and only in Europe? What kind of business model is this?

There's two things I'm looking forward to for the coming year, particularly on its first anniversary:
1. Certain big third parties still putting out public statements that betray a lack of faith in Switch despite all indications showing strong success and future promise for it.
2. Every game news source agreeing to quit bringing up the dead horse that is the Wii U in relation to the Switch. We get it already.

@EmmatheBest LordBBH streams random MAME games, as in ones he isn't allowed to choose, including the most obscure games from around the world, every Monday at 9 PM EST. He's extremely knowledgeable about arcade games in general and the histories of a lot of games that many people aren't aware of. https://www.twitch.tv/lordbbh

Good. They should keep it this way.

This game is one of the favorites of the poverty gaming scene and deserves more attention. I like to think of it as Street Fighter II Champion Edition from another dimension. Here's English commentary of a tournament from the Mikado earlier this year so you can see how deep it gets. https://youtu.be/GHjG8kSBZOQ?t=5m27s

And this is Nintendo-related how?

This thing is never coming out.

What exactly is "mature" about this?

The only Dreamcast game I want on Switch right this moment is Chu Chu Rocket. I didn't give it a chance back then and I only learned somewhat recently that it's a perfectly designed 4-player game. The kind that Switch should be inundated with.

When's Marvel vs. Super Mario Bros.

You say this like it's a good thing.

"[We] don't recommend doing such things here at Nintendo Life", so here's exactly how to do it and who you can ask if you have any trouble.

Nobody should be allowed to make money on video games they didn't create.

@GC-161 You should watch the Animal Crossing animated film that was released in 2006.

@BigDaddysPizza Meanwhile I tried to push for Patrick Warburton to play Pikachu instead. Fat lot of help that did me.

Hey remember when a lot of people also wanted Danny DeVito to play a Pikachu that was also a detective that speaks the language of man?

Hey remember that movie that had a Pikachu that was also a detective?

@jpfan1989 That's the impression I got. It's not so much a promotion as it is Charles Martinet just entertaining himself. Especially in this earlier press conference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIzwSaj7B08

For reference, here's what happened last time Mario had spoken dialogue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8sYvNtjXRI

THE EVALUATION SHALL C—

Wait

@BLP_Software If they could accomplish this in Switch's first year, imagine what they'll be able to do in its fourth and fifth. Compare first-year Xbox 360 and PS3 games to what came out in their sunsets.

It's a good thing Hamster tends to include both Japanese and US versions of arcade games in their releases, because games like Undercover Cops and Perfect Soldiers deserve the best versions for modern re-releases.

The real kicker is that's labeled the #1 New Release in Nintendo DS Accessory Kits. Looks like it would be handy for Switch though.

@AyeHaley The people who reply to their own tweet containing something they don't own to advertise something unrelated are the worst kind of content sycophants. They can't earn their own visibility so they take from others to benefit themselves. Infringement of content by aggregation websites for profit is getting out of control—largely because Twitter is doing very little if anything to stop it—and it's no better when individuals do it.

Don't you just hate it when someone gets a popular tweet (usually with content they didn't create) and then they leverage their newfound visibility to push their own agenda that has nothing to do with it?

I think the worst part is that Sonic Forces was one of the first games to be specifically announced for Nintendo NX, and it has the worst performance of all versions.

Okay but what's arcade about it?

Ha ha, that page on The Super Spy. It's like they know.

I struggled with going back and forth between using the pointer controls and the button controls in the Galaxy games. I have no such issues with Odyssey.

My house is halfway there.

Normally I make a gag about these comments, but nah, this one's too easy.

Okay, fine. Self-fulfilling prophecies for the win?

Half those developer names give me great pause.

@Spoony_Tech To compete with My Nintendo News on headlines, obv.

@ThomasBW84 I just wanted to show these videos to more people.

@crackafreeze Less than one minute to full involvement. Keep your tree moist (or just get an artificial one) and you should be fine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoG6tWq6BYY

@JHDK http://www.firefighterclosecalls.com/close-calls/

"Close call" is an actual term in the fire service for firefighters who could have died in service and made it out safely. If you think this is entertaining, you should watch some NIST flashover tests and see how long it takes for a small flame to transform an ordinary house into a veritable inferno. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqMVm72FMRk

I can't help but think all those patent lawsuits over the 3DS screens are partly responsible for this. That or the pain it caused on battery life.
