@Silly_G The servers being taken down in a far away future is not a real issue : there will be a way (legal or not) to get the game working. Or you could get the data on a micro SD, then onto your hard drive so 20 years from now when you wanna go through a tedious game you already completed, you can reinstall Starlink.
Gonçalo Lopes : Goldeneye + WCW/NWO Revenge + Mario Party were my life in 1999... right before it became Soul Calibur + Toy Commander + House of the Dead II.
@Octane They're asking us tu pitch in for the online service, so I guess who's paying is... us. Clearly (even though it was announced from the get go) we now have to pay for what we've been getting for free for more than a year. An improvement such as "real" voice chat would've justified the upgrade.
@MsJubilee They know it tanked because it was released the same month as : Mario Odyssey The Evil Within 2 Assassin's Creed Destiny 2 South Park Gran Turismo : Sport Forza 7 ... and right before Call of Duty: WWII.
Oh yeah sure they should still be in there. But we'll all have a laugh if they go : And the Megaman 11 demo... is available... RIGHT NOW ! on the eshop.

It's also a bad business decision :

> you get more people to love your brand & games and buy your next big release by making your products available to them

@Silly_G
If you stick to this rule you'll have to skip many games in the future, and I'm not sure Nintendo will eventually hear you out.
Re: Video: The Nintendo 64 Classic Mini "Leak" is Completely Fake
A N64 Mini would be the best way to kill all the good memories of those games by realising how poorly they have aged.

Re: Sega Still Thinking About Releasing Puyo Puyo eSports Outside Of Japan
If they translate it to english, people can manage getting it on the Japanese eshop.

@Pazuzu666
Who cares about killing the planet if we can get more dusty colorful plastic cases on our shelves ?
Re: Feature: Fireproof Games On Why Award-Winning Puzzler The Room Is Perfect For Switch
I thought this game would be tearing me apart, Lisa.
Apparently it won't.
Re: New Study Suggests That Playing Violent Video Games Leads To Increased Physical Aggression
@BigKing Are you saying my mother would swallow anything ?
Re: New Study Suggests That Playing Violent Video Games Leads To Increased Physical Aggression
Centuries of wars, murders and massacres can be blamed on videogames.
Re: Random: Nintendo Is Now Refusing To Offer Stock To Amazon France After Disagreements
Fnac has more interesting deals anyway, if you pre-order at least.
Re: The Escapists: Complete Edition - A Likeable Prison Caper Rendered Irrelevant By Its Sequel
I wish they'd have focused on fixing the 2nd one instead !
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 29th)
Into the Breach : can't get enough of that game !
Re: It Sucks To Say It, But Castlevania Requiem Isn't Coming To Switch
Konami's not very bright to keep on missing out on the Switch's success.
Re: Random: Someone Just Sold An Early Copy Of Super Mario Party On eBay For $7,100
@RupeeClock
There's no street date for second hand items.
Re: Hold Me, Virtual Console Data Has Been Discovered In The Nintendo Switch eShop
I won't buy many games unless they fit in some online multi !

Firs thing I did was look for Crazy Taxi. Was it not an option ?
Re: Cities: Skylines - A SimCity Successor That Struggles To Shine On Switch
5 is a very generous note (but it is often the case here).
Re: Super Bomberman R Update Adds Castlevania Stage, Five New Characters And New Mode
At least it's comforting to know that Konami too is still aware that Castlevenia exists.

Re: The Nintendo Switch Mobile App Has Been Updated To Support Voice Chat On More Games
Isn't Fortnite running a "proper" voice chat ? How is Nintendo behind on this ???
Re: Reigns: Kings & Queens - It's Like Game Of Thrones Meets Tinder
Wonderful, I was waiting for this ! Might look a bit dull but there's more to it than it appears.
Very fairly priced, too.
Re: Sony Responds To Nintendo's Success With Its Very Own PlayStation Classic Mini Console
I hope loading times will be boosted, because the one thing I remember doing most in front of a Playstation is waiting !
Re: UK Charts Reveal That Only 2% Of NBA 2K19's Launch Sales Were On Switch
Would getting rid of that micro-transaction nightmare be such a bad thing ?
I'm pretty sure a Mario Basketball (even a small 30$ eshop exclusive) would destroy everything.
Re: Wireless NES Controllers Won't Work With Other Games On Nintendo Switch
How is that a surprise ? Half the buttons are missing !
Re: Rumour: Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn Will Apparently Be Exclusive To New Nintendo 3DS
Everyone complained that the New version wouldn't get many exclusives. Now let's complain that it gets some ! Because why not ?
Re: Bethesda's Pete Hines Says Wolfenstein 3 Is "Absolutely" Happening
@MsJubilee
They know it tanked because it was released the same month as :
Mario Odyssey
The Evil Within 2
Assassin's Creed
Destiny 2
South Park
Gran Turismo : Sport
Forza 7
... and right before Call of Duty: WWII.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 15th)
Into the Breach whenever I have 5 minutes to spare. This game really has me hooked !
Re: The Escapists: Complete Edition Is Breaking Free On Switch Later This Month
I don't get it. What's the point of releasing the first one when the second is already out there ? (and would require some fixing on Switch)
Re: Video: Civilization VI Gets Its First Nintendo Switch Trailer
I hope there'll be a demo for this game, my girl might be interrested.

@tourjeff Really unrelated :
your avatar is one of my hopes for tonight !!
Re: NBA 2K19 - Effortlessly The Best Basketball Sim On Nintendo Switch
Not buying a game wher microtransactions play such a big part.

Re: Nintendo Direct Officially Rescheduled For Tomorrow, Thursday 13th September
@JoeDiddley
That would be a dumb move to keep "reveals" of games that were revealed a week ago.
Re: Nintendo Switch Online Will Start On 19th September, More Info Coming In Direct
I don't think I'm playing any game that require it so we'll see...
Re: Fans' Passion For Waluigi's Smash Exclusion Is "Fantastic", Says Nintendo's Andrew Collins
They'd be very inspired to make Waluigi a secret unlock when you platinium the game !
Re: Belgian Government Launches Criminal Investigation Into EA Over "Illegal" FIFA Loot Boxes
@Anti-Matter
Inquire about Star Wars Battlefront 2 and its reception, you'll have a good idea of the problem with it.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Direct To Be Rescheduled For Thursday 13th September
I don't know how much they relied on the stuff that was revealed in the meantime, but they might have to "muscle it up" with new reveals.
Re: Video: What Can We Hope for and Expect from the Delayed Nintendo Direct?
Cleaning is important.
Re: Hands On: Getting Fancy With Shovel Knight: King of Cards And Showdown
@Balta666
The Specter Knight campaign is way easier, but the New Game + is more of a challenge I think.
Re: Hands On: Getting Fancy With Shovel Knight: King of Cards And Showdown
Shovel Knight still keeps me entertained. I've 100%ed the Shovel achievements but I'm still working on the two others from time to time.
@OorWullie They could keep releasing sequels for years as far as I'm concerned, I'm fine with it !

Re: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition Announced For Nintendo Switch
@BlueOcean
And the Seiken Densetsu collection !
Re: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition Announced For Nintendo Switch
Why ?
Didn't SquareE have at least 20 games to remaster before this one ?
Re: Random: A Tiny Animation Change In Mega Man 11 Is Leaving Some Players Unhappy
Makes no sense to try and trigger people's nostalgia, and yet not pay attention to that kind of detail.
Re: Gone Home Celebrates Fifth Anniversary With Physical Release On Nintendo Switch
@Dahn_
... and the cartridge.
It amazes me how people are begging for a physical release but don't want to put their money where their mouth is !
