Uh, Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World isn't at the top, you foul, 'u'-adding, tea-drinking, Poochy-hating, Sony-loving, colonizing, soulless monsters.

In other news, water is wet, the sky is blue, and Nintendo still hasn't revealed the NX.

Oh wait, maybe that last one isn't news.

This comment section has been interesting.

@Pinkman I was making a bad joke. Alcoholic beverages are the microtransactions.

1-2-Switch has a weird micro transaction scheme. It's completely, 100% playable without using them, but they enhance the gameplay a bit.

Also, they're pay what you want.

Generic could of been #1 one or something if Nintendo produced more comment is generic.

The Gen II update is pretty good. Nice new content, great Pokémon, some extra polish; all great features that improve the game.

Plus, Hoppip (one of my favorite Pokémon) are abundant!

And yes, millions of people indeed do play this game.

@impurekind Okay then. Now you can't download games, you have to share save files, and games can't use any in-game clock. Have fun.

From what I'm reading, it's probable that the carts are still in New Jersey, going through customs.

Two Weeks Later

The SNES Restoration Project has been Revived

That was quick.

I wonder how many people in this comment section have tried VR.

VR on a 720p screen would be absolutely horrid.

@carlos82 Well guess what, Nintendo's got two other Fire Emblem games in the works.

Just let some people enjoy thw game.

@Issi Their goal is to expand the Nintendo user base though mobile game.

Ever wondered why they push getting Nintendo account so hard for Super Mario Run and Fire Emblem Heroes? Because you're basically signing up for a glorified newsletter of Nintendo news in Nintendo's eyes.

The F2P money they get is simply a bonus (though every little bit helps).

Their whole market strategy with the mobile market is make people see Nintendo. That's also why Nintendo games are some the highest quality games on the App Store/Google Play (well, game in the case of Google Play). The retweet events are meant to get the world out there: Nintendo's back, and better than ever.

At IS's offices:

Staff Guy 1: "Hey, why did we even implement the idea that changing skills requires stamina."

Staff Guy 2: "Uh... I don't even remember Pretty stupid idea in hindsight."

Staff Guy 1: "Might as well phase out the whole idea of the 'Early Stamina Reduction Bonuses' then."

Staff Guy 2: "True, but we should say it's extended permanently for that juicy positive PR."

Toasts in celebration of free PR

Let's play a drinking game!

Anytime someone says "fanboy", "hater", or "should of been in the base game/update", take a drink.

You'll be dead in 5 minutes.

The reaction to this has been a hurricane of rabid weasels, destructive and downright confusing in some senses.

1. We don't know if they've even started on the DLC outside of the chests. I'm pretty sure you could make what's offered in pack 1 within 3 months.

2. This is no way confirms BotW doesn't have another Cave of Trials or Hard Mode. Twilight Princess HD had "DLC" that gave you a "new Hard Mode" (Ganondorf) and "new Cave of Trials" (Wolf Link).

3. You aren't paying $500 for a Zelda game. You're paying $500 for new console, controller, and Special Edition of a game.

4. Breath of the Wild will still probably be a good game despite these expansions.

Speaking on a high level, between finishing production and going gold (i.e. the eternal bug testing phase) there is a huge period of time where you've got artists and animators and writers sitting around doing basically nothing. You either lose them to other projects or you get them working on DLC. DLC always starts before a game goes gold. Once the game is launched/goes gold the work begins in earnest of integrating it with the final version/whatever iterative patch is going and then bug testing it. It can look like gouging and treating customers like cash cows, and that is often the case, but I highly doubt that that is what is going on here.

I'm not too bothered by this, personally. If Nintendo's got an IP which means their DLC conversion rate is going to be through the roof then that's hardly their fault.

Apparently, the Hard mode said is actually a Harder mode.

The base game has Hard Mode.

Wow...

I'm conflicted on this. I mean, I'm going the get this because 1, they deserve it, and 2, I'm a Nintendo fanboy.

But, it kind of feels wrong to have DLC in a Zelda game.

I'm just hope everything will turn out for the better. It probably will.

EDIT: Thinking back on this, I really am fine with this. There's no doubt the game and new content will be awesome.

Have a Poochy!

@ZurapiiYohane64 Nintendo announced the NX codename in March 2015 as a way to insure people they we're leaving the console market for mobile games.

That's only a year and a half, not 4 years.

Leaks and rumors can really harm the hype of something.

See: Pokémon Sun & Moon, the Switch reveal

I want this, but I don't $50 want this.

I'll buy it at $30-$35.

@FGPackers Not a chance.

Also see the movie. It's excellent.

@Tibob Because they'd hsve to get permission from Square to do so.

Okay then...

I'll just stick with Super Bomberman R...

And another one bites the dust!

Wii U: Criticized for getting 6-month-old 3rd party games

Switch: Critized for not getting 6-month-old 3rd party games

So it's a Puyo Puyo game, a Tetris game, and a Puyo Puyo X Tetris game?

Sign me up!

An early bird ticket to the biggest games show on Earth for only $150 isn't that bad.

When NL said hefty price, I was expecting > $500 to be honest.

Instead of 0 games on a Nintendo platform, we'll have 1game on a Nintendo platform!

In all seriousness though, can't wait to see the true extent of Switch third-party at E3.

@lighteningbolt79 "A few first party games? Portability? Are these really that good for people to buy this system?"

Yes, they are.

Thank you Nintendo. We could all use stability in this time of chaos around the world.

@NIN10DOXD Something to do with the voice actor's strike.

"yawn... Oh, good morning Poochy. I love you so much."

Checks phone

"Oh, the UK Sales are us. Let's so how well Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World did. Hey I even got a notified about it. Thanks @AlexSora89!"

scrolls back up

reads about the game's bad opening week

You Brits are nothing more than a bunch of terrible, heartless, 'U'-adding, Poochy-hating monsters! For shame!

@WeeManStudios Money's tight for me. I can't buy much due to the Switch being a month away.

I'm sorry, but I'm not going to spend my last month playing an average game.

...3 months after the thing releases.

Meh. Maybe I'll buy it, maybe I won't. With the Switch just beyond the horizon, I should keep my other game purchases to a minimum.

I'll probably pick up BoxBoxBoy instead.

Everyone on here seems to think that everything on the Switch will always stay at launch price and will never get even a cent teacher.

@wiggleronacid Don't hate yourself. Just buy it. It's a quality game.

@Firelork Leo plays a more important role in Heroes than most characters.

It's finally here,

ready for you.

If you know the gameplay,

you can play along too.

Preorder your amiibo now,

if you want to cheer.

Because Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World,

is almost here!

79 on Metacritic?!?!

This is madness! Do people hate Poochy or something?

And of course, IGN gives it a 7.1...

Will it sell gangbusters again or go down like the Wii U?

Find out next time on Dragon Ball Z!!!

@BinaryFragger I think the Mario Wrestling/Volleyball game was cancalled later.

There's also Crashmo World, if that even existed in the first place.

Hoo... ray...?

It's ~$2 a month. If you can't afford that, then maybe you have more important things to do than buy a Switch.

Uh, that score is completely and utterly wrong.

It should say 10/10 because Poochy

In all seriousness though, great review. I'm getting it on Friday!

You all get it too.

@UK-Nintendo You got everything; wvery Black Coin, Cake, and item, faster than completing any other mobile game?
