@Arawn93 Nah this doesnt make sense. Nintendo is just picking on a little guy since they know its hard for him to fight back. Major corporations published unlicensed unofficial guides for 40 years. To this day there are major corporations printing magazines and guides with Nintendo’s IP, and Nintendo cant do anything about it. But when a single individual tries to do something, Nintendo knows they can scare them off, because even if Nintendo loses in court, they know the individuals project will be shut down, because the legal defense will be so expensive.

@Audiogore0733 Netflix isnt on Switch though.

This app has been around for a long time, its just now coming to Switch.

@GrailUK If it helps, I think the weapons turn into people?

Im confused. Article says a 4 button system, but it has 6 normal attacks?

@BloodNinja Did you try Oniken? Its basically an NES Ninja Gaiden.

@ModdedInkling Also as a 5 Switch family, it sure is a lot easier to share games.

@METROIDDREAD It is pretty cool, but this isn’t a new discovery. There’s 3 year old videos of people doing this. There’s one with 125k views. There’s another one with a little kid who sounds like he’s 6 years old doing it. So this is definitely a known.

Maybe @dartmonkey could imbed one of those earlier videos to credit the pioneers?

@Bass_X0 Its an HD remaster of an arcade game. Im sure they could throw it on there if they wanted to.

Maybe they are going to add it to their Arcade collection thing.

Yeah I put my order in a week ago when the physical version was announced. My daughter will love this.

@ThomasBW84 are you sure the NA information is correct? Is the 21st here, and I haven’t heard anything from LRG or Abylight.

@LzWinky Its not an honor system and you dont need a patent. Computer code is protected by copyright laws.

“ In the context of software, a copyright could protect source code, object code and user interfaces. A copyright is obtained automatically at the time the expression is created, such as when the source code is written, when the user interface is created, or when the program is compiled.”

And yes open source software with EULA is definitely protected and enforceable.

It is helpful to everyone if you don’t chime in unless you actually have valid information. Stating your guesses on a public platform just leads to others carrying that misinformation forward elsewhere.

If Nintendo doesn’t respond and remove the game until the issues are resolved, the emulation author does have the legal ability to make a court case, and one that can be won. However this is unlikely due to the upfront costs.

@Damo awesome! Thanks for turning up the journalist integrity. I love this site even more now

@Henmii Nintendo owns all code of said ROMs so its the same thing as stealing someone elses software.

@Damo Now can you remove the affiliate links until the emulation author is credited?

Nintendolife seriously put affiliate links to this game in the article, so they could also profit off of stolen work. Cmon guys, you’re better than this. @damo

@Obito_Sigma yeah but a free item is still a free item.

@damo I think if you dig a little deeper, the only new thing here is that it would be a hybrid. For over a year now, actual reputable leakers have been talking about an Apple dedicated gaming console, and Apple being in talks with big publishers.

Microsoft and Sony haven’t really tried to compete with Nintendo on portable gaming lately. But Apple would be a more suitable rival, with success in portable devices. iPhone and iPad in reality are already competing with Nintendo for mobile gamers for game time.

Previous leaks were hinting at more of an Apple TV device with powerful gpu for gaming. But it wouldnt be a stretch to imagine that may have evolved into a hybrid.

But either way, accurate leakers have indeed revealed that Apple is working on gaming hardware, contrary to some of the insight you have here.

@anoyonmus They recently released the Capcom Home Arcade, and that had AVP

@Kevintendo the world famous YouTuber has commented at my favorite news site?

@Xiovanni The single OS still gets version updates. Thats the same strategy they have with Windows 10. And theres stuff on Windows 10 that doesn’t work unless your version is up to date.

Thats the same strategy all mobile OS use. Android 5 is a version number. iOS 9 is a version number. They arent a new OS. Its just Windows 10 is the name of the OS. Where as Android and iOS doesnt have have a number in the name. Like Windows 95 isn’t the 95th version of Windows. But it did get several version updates.

Android and iOS are basically Windows 1. Its the first OS, they never made a second one.

@Northwind can you move what pokeball a pokemon is in? If not... if you throw this at a pokemon and miss, its just gone forever?

@vanYth I love all the old Blizzard manuals. Even though Warcraft 1 wasnt the best game, I still love the manual. Even their strategy guids included lore.

SSI games came with a boatload of supplemental stuff in the box. Ah the good ole days

Link to the Etsy Shop, since NLs Odyssey link just goes to their own review.

@Shade_Koopa Given the fact that streaming video only uses 100mbps on 8k video, and 8k video isnt even an option on Switch. And the fact that online gaming rarely uses over 1mbps with 5mbps being overkill. What would the Switch do with the increased speed? Download update patches faster? That probably wouldn’t even happen because its not like Nintendo’s servers are going to send out updates at over 500mbps. USB 2.0 ethernet adapters work at up to 480mbps.

The biggest game on Switch takes less than 10 minutes to download on Switch at full speed. The average triple A takes about 2 minutes.

Its not really much to gain here.

Its not like its a pc where you are doing all kinds of crazy things. For what the Switch can do, max speed it has now isn’t even necessary.

That's hot, can't wait.

@Ghost_of_Hasashi why would Microsoft have Tecmo’s source code? Game companies dont give away their source code to other companies. Thats like giving away a trade secret.

Microsoft has the finalized game, Ninja Gaiden Black and its still available for purchase. Ninja Gaiden 2 as well.

Its not their fault Tecmo lost the source code so they cant port it to other systems. If you want to play it, play it on a system that has backwards compatibility, like a current gen xbox.

@ParasolStars Have you tried this second generation with the built in battery? I had the same issue with the dpad in the older model that requires AAs. I play Street Fighter a lot and the old model was ripping up my thumb. But the new model uses a softer plastic on the dpad and it has more rounded on the edges.

If you want it on Switch just wait. These publishers know 90% of people that own a Switch would buy it there. They are just milking consumers. They know people will buy it a second time so they can have it on the go. Thats why they always release on Switch months after the other platforms. Dont play their games. You think Tony Hawk started development on Switch after the PS, PC, and Xbox version released? Nope, but they sure weren’t going to tell their customers it was coming to Switch, until after their customers already bought a copy on a non portable system.

Even a couple commas for pauses before and after the title would help.

@KillerBOB I just started watching Twin Peaks for the first time in my life. Im early into season 2 and your avatar spooked me lol.

@liveswired hmm this is some false information. First of all I have had joycons repaired several times due to drift. They always shipped to a repair facility inside my country.

Second, yes I have seen the insides of a joycon. They look fine and comparable to any modern thin and lite technology. Youll find the same kind of ribbon cables inside of $1000 iPhones and Samsung phones.

Third, the part that fails isnt made by Nintendo. The control stick is made by a third party that also makes control sticks for Nintendos competitors, which is why PS5 controllers also have the same major issue with drift. The issue is the supplier has a monopoly in the market and there was a flaw in the design. It isnt a cheaply made part.

Fourth I didnt say Nintendo doesn’t profit off of joycon sales. I said they aren’t profiting from repairs. Repairs are free, they dont charge for them, they arent making extra money because they drift. Please read the context of my reply and the original comment before responding next time.

@patbacknitro18 you ain’t getting botw2 details and release date yet for the same reason you didn’t get details on the new Switch model yet. Nintendo wants to make sure its Mario Edition Switch sells units before putting out the more desirable upgrade.

Nintendo wants to make sure Skyward Sword sell mass quantities. We will hear about botw2 a couple months after SS starts selling.

@BloodNinja heres the thing about 8bitdo I learned the hard way. Their warranty is fake. If your controller dies 30 days after you buy it, you cant return it to a store. So you are left with a paper weight.

I emailed about a warranty repair when the Bluetooth chip on mine died. After emailing back and forth about 15 times (they were avoiding telling me the truth, and just playing games to get me to give up) they basically said “look we are couple guys in a warehouse in China. You can send your controller in for repair, but you have to pay shipping both ways from China so itd probably be cheaper to just buy a new one”.

@nessisonett Yeah Im sure Nintendo is making a ton of money with free life time joy con replacements. Paying shipping both ways, paying for employees to repair those joycons and paying for a facility to house it all.... all on the off chance that a few people might buy an extra set while they wait for their repair?

@Ralizah Best way to play it is in bed in handheld mode. Like reading a book before you sleep.

@sanderev ?

@KingMike Yeah I know, just having fun with someone so serious

@Wavey84 What is Grandai 🤔🤠😆💀

@Wavey84 I don’t agree with your assessment, however I also don’t know what Grandai is either .

For me this is kind of like whats happening to streaming services like Netflix right now. It was great when there was just Netflix, Prime Video, and Hulu. But when every little company started breaking off to do their own thing, I became less interested.

I love the big Nintendo Directs. But as more companies break off and do their own thing, the Nintendo Directs become weaker and Im sure as hell not gonna make time to track every companies individual schedules for presentations. So its a lose lose for the companies, I feel like less eyes will be on their products.

@NPC411 agreed, but what does the dudes age have to do with anything?

@tom91 25th will be the announcement. 25th anniversary. 27th, Pokemon day will be for festivities

@VR32X It was actually announced before, but NL was slow to report on this announcement.

Just commenting to help push this article to over 500 comments.

@justpizza PowerA makes one.

@TheFullAndy To be honest you seem really out dated and out of touch. Like you have the mentality of someone living in the 80s or 90s. The script has flipped. You are kind of the odd socially unaccepted person in 2021, not the people playing these games. Like if someone at work was acting and saying the stuff you are saying, its safe to say that person would not be a part of the main group, and probably be eating lunch by themself, or with a small group of people that didnt fit in because they are too grumpy or living in the past.

@Wargoose this game looks hilarious, something most other shooters lack. The gameplay being mediocre is your opinion, which is obviously not shared by everyone. If you can’t understand why other people buy things they enjoy, I don’t think anyone can help you with that pondery.

Also you are kidding if you think there is a wealth of on rails shooters to choose from on Switch. The library available is minuscule.

@holygeez03 Did they edit the article since you posted? It shows a ranked list to me.

@PosterBoy True. Also she looks like a rogue class, which typically never wears protective gear because it hinders movement.
