As a fan of a similar game, Puzzle & Dragons (puzzle RPG with randomized, upgradable characters, a stamina bar, and F2P), I'd say these prices are fair. Won't. E buying any myself but these are about industry standard prices.
@rjejr Can't someone enjoy the evening with their family in peace?
In all seriousness though, that LAN adaptor is way overpriced. I got my Wii adaptor for $10, not $30! Get your act together HORI! Yeah, I'm usually the guy that thinks things aren't overpriced, but this is highway robbery.
@strongest_link I'd disagree about the Shovel Kinght amiibo having the most gameplay (I'd say Wolf Link does).
Frankly, I'm just against indie amiibo in the first place. I thought they were supposed to be for Nintendo characters, not random characters that appear on everything but the kitchen sink.
Uh, Arms, Splatoon 2, Xenoblade 2, Super Mario Odyssey, Fire Emblem, Octopath Traveler, Snipperclips, indies as far as the eye can see, Breath of the Wild, and a few big third-parties.
That's not to even mention E3, where the big new games are announced.
@rjejr I'm pretty sure Nintendo does not expect everyone to get even a third of the accessories on offer. I'm probably just going to get the car mount and an extra pair of Joy-Cons for now.
The Switch isn't a "console of accessories". It really doesn't have that many more than your average console.
Mario Kart 8's sold 8.4 million units. About 60% of Wii U owners own this game.
Mario Kart 8, New Super Mario Bros. U, Super Mario 3D World, Nintendo Land, and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U each sold at least 5 million units.
The other top 5 best selling Wii U games also hit at least 2 million units sold, with Mario Party 10 at the end of the list selling 2.04 million units.
Oh no, a company not named Nintendo made a licensed Nintendo SD Card and it's kind of overpriced, but optional because you can just buy a regular SD Card. But since Nintendo's name is on it, it's their fault!
@jswhitfield8 They made the game terrible on purpose (probably to lure in suckers to give them money with promises of a free game). Of course you can't turn her off.
It may not be the worst on the eShop (even if the devs want it to be), but it's the second/third worst.
The HD version has better graphics, smoother mechanics, slimmed down Tears of Light quests, amiibo support, Hero Mode, the GamePad quick select, and gyro controls.
I'm guessing you forgot about Splatoon, Super Mario Maker, Yoshi's Woolly World, Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, Mario & Sonic at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, Paper Mario: Color Smash, Star Fox Zero/Guard, Mario Party 10, Pokkén Tournament, and Kirby & the Rainbow Curse?

Re: Nintendo Details How Voice Chat And Multiplayer Lobbies Work In Splatoon 2
@Dr_Corndog Something tells me you don't even know what the app can do.
It's far from pointless.
Re: Image & Form Gets SteamWorld Fans Speculating with New Tease
@faint I'm also saying that there shouldn't of been Monster Hunter amiibo.
Sonic, Pac-man, Mega Man, Ryu, Cloud, and Bayonetta are the only exceptions, because they were in Smash.
But that's just by silly little opioids. Don't worry too much about it.

Re: Feature: The Rollercoaster Ride of Nintendo's Financial Reports
@rjejr I was thinking of the 3DS in particular, but you do have a fair point. The Switch has to have to accessories of a handheld and a console.
Extra Styli
2 Screen Protectors
Case
Charging Cradle
Circle Pad Pro (3DS)
Faceplates (n3DS)
Charging Cable (n3DS)
Re: Image & Form Gets SteamWorld Fans Speculating with New Tease
@Ignatius I did, in fact, read the article.
It says the picture is a hint. In the picture, there's a fanmade amiibo of Rusty. Thus, they're possibly hinting at a Rusty amiibo.
I was simply saying I don't think we need another ~~indimiibo~~ indie amiibo, whether it happens or not.
Re: Image & Form Gets SteamWorld Fans Speculating with New Tease
Ugh. Another indie amiibo?
One was enough.
Re: Video: A Look Beyond the Wool in Making the Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World Animated Shorts
@remag What does that have to do with Poochy?
Re: Nintendo Details UK Pre-Order Bonuses For Zelda: Breath Of The Wild
@jimi "instant jump to anywhere was fully removed"
No it wasn't. If you want to have a discussion we me, don't start it with inaccurate info.
If you hate Nintendo now, then go ahead and leave this site. We don't want you.
Re: Video: A Look Beyond the Wool in Making the Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World Animated Shorts
That's amazing!
And adorable!
Re: Nintendo Details UK Pre-Order Bonuses For Zelda: Breath Of The Wild
@jimi "What line up?"

Re: Super Mario Run Now Costs £9.99 To Unlock In The UK
Just going to put this out there:
Half a year ago, the pound was 20% more powerful than what it is now ($1.49 US dollars then vs. $1.24 US Dollars now).

@neufel I didn't know there was a sleep mode ala the 3DS. That's all.

@Freelance I was just taking the country-wide minimum wage: $10.50 in Newfoundland.
Re: Official Nintendo Switch Technical Specifications Have Been Shared
Sleep Mode? O_o
Re: Japanese Gamers Think Nintendo Switch Is Too Expensive, But Don't Mind Paying For Online Access
@RoomB31 The minimum wage in Canada in $10.50 CAD.
When converted to USD, the Canadian minimum wage is $8.01.
The minimum wage in the US is $7.25.
Quit complaining. Only Australians can complain.
Re: Zelda: Twilight Princess HD Studio Tantalus Is Porting RiME To Nintendo Switch
@GoldenGamer88 But how is the Wii version better "in almost every way" beside your weak point about the menus?
Re: Zelda: Twilight Princess HD Studio Tantalus Is Porting RiME To Nintendo Switch
@GoldenGamer88 How is the Wii version better?
The HD version has better graphics, smoother mechanics, slimmed down Tears of Light quests, amiibo support, Hero Mode, the GamePad quick select, and gyro controls.
Re: Japanese Gamers Think Nintendo Switch Is Too Expensive, But Don't Mind Paying For Online Access
@Smokingspoon Why don't you try converting the Switch prices to USD?
Switch: $399.99 CAD = $303.69 USD
Pro Controller: $89.99 CAD = $68.32 USD
1 Joy-Con: $64.99 CAD = $49.34 USD
2 Joy-Cons: $99.99 CAD = $75.91 USD
Joy-Con Grip: $39.99 CAD = $30.36 USD
Dock: $119.99 CAD = $91.10 USD
Games: $79.99 CAD = $60.73 USD

Re: Random: Mario Sports Superstars amiibo Cards Use Really Old Character Artwork
I'm more impressed they were able to turn Bowser's DDR pose into an amiibo card without it looking out of place.
Re: Random: Mario Sports Superstars amiibo Cards Use Really Old Character Artwork
@Bunkerneath That was placeholder artworker. Look at the actual box art now.

Your joke fell flat the second it entered the room.
Re: Fire Emblem Heroes Will Also Release on iOS on 2nd February
Uh... okay.
I'm iOS, so I'm fine with that but...
Why even act like it was timed exclusive on Android?

Meh.

Re: Super Bomberman R's Price Still Has Yet to Be Finalized
I'm expecting $30-40 across the board, retail and digital.
I mean, It'll probably have microtransactions because Konami, but I have... faith in them that they won't charge $59.99 for this.
Gosh, that was hard to say.
