@SubtleGris Not everyone buy at release and there is also new players everyday.
Continued support for game can help bring new players who are on a fence or just got their console. Maybe they aren't interested in a "surf DLC" in particular but the image of an active and good developer can drive more sales.
On the other hand you see developers who barely touch their game after the initial release. More than often leaving bugs unfixed, let alone releasing new (free) content.
It was certainly a very polished entry in the series and worth playing, i don't regret buying it. Can't wait to see what they have in store for Wario on the Switch.
"Have you ever downloaded ROMs and used emulation yourself?"
Nice try FBI, i'm not falling for that!
Jokes aside i wouldn't mind a "Netflix" type of service (with an offline option like the current NES games, not streaming) if it had at least the size of the Wii U VC library. Right now the offering is incredibly underwhelming.
If they are going to keep at this pace, i rather just buy and own them.
@Lando_ Sold around 75k copies in the first two weeks back in March in Japan. These Switch numbers are probably the result of a 6 month old port i think.
Since the Switch version was only released now in Japan i'm not surprised with these numbers, until now japanese players could only buy the PS4 version after all. I have a feeling the Switch version it'll do better in the west though...
Better battery and a dock with more features (like ssd or external hdd support) would be nice. Not that i would buy right away (got my Switch less than a month ago) but i could potentially upgrade in the future.
Game is so much fun on PC, great time killer. Shame it doesn't run great on the Switch. Even my PC gets pretty hot when running this game, i guess games like this is too heavy on the CPU side.
@maruse One or two weeks would be more than enough in my opinion. I personally wouldn't complain if they made that clear. I'm not expecting 6 months either but most cloud services gives you at least 30 days to recover your data before deleting permanently.
Some people has really busy schedules or live in places with poor connection, a small grace period window would be very very appreciated by some of us.
@maruse should have a grace period at least for a few days, like any normal cloud server service. I'm not expecting eternal storage though. But i guess that's asking too much from poor struggling Nintendo.
Not sure about your apartment analogy, but where i live you can actually make a contract that gives you a few days to move your belongings with you. Like you know... a grace period
I'm planning to get my Switch this year so i was hoping for some cool bundle to be announced. I guess i'll just settle with a cheap standard model and pick a skin from DecalGirl.
I don't understand why some people are freaking out. It actually costs MORE to maintain a GMS license than Unity or Unreal.
If anything, Unity is way more accessible to shovelware with the amount of pre-packaged assets on the Unity store to create asset flips, like Hammer 2 and UnitZ.

Re: Video: Here's What Happens When Peachette Saves Peach In New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe
It's cute but... meh, from the title i expected more. Maybe some kind of joke when Peach meets Peachette.
Also what the hell happened here? It seems not even Mario is safe from drama these days...
Re: Review: Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey - A Worthy Remaster Of An RPG Classic
Yeah, they probably just wanted a digital release of these games since they aren't printing DS games anymore.
I'm picking the game up since i don't own the original DS version but i probably wouldn't if i owned the original one.
Re: Disappointing 3DS Software Sales Show The Console's Slow Death In Japan
I'm more than happy with the current 3DS library so even if it doesn't get any more new games i'm fine with it.
If i could ask for one last thing it would be Persona Q2 english but aside from that i think the 3DS had a very good run.
Still need to clear my backlog though...

Re: Motion Twin Not Interested In Making A Sequel To Dead Cells
It seems they want to make something different and not just stick with the same type of games.
Hoping they make something great again in the future.
Re: Gallery: There’s No Need To Bash These New Streets Of Rage 4 Screenshots
Looks nice to me, can't wait to play it.
Re: Feature: The Final Wii U Games We'd Like To See On Switch In 2019
One or two of these games per year wouldn't hurt i guess. I rather they spend more time on new games after all
Re: Nintendo Focused On The Current Switch, So Don't Expect A Revision Anytime Soon
Yeah... hmm... are you expecting him to say anything that could slightly affect sales so close to Christmas? I mean, have some common sense...
Re: Rumour: Joker In Smash Bros. Ultimate Triggers Speculation That Persona 5 Is Coming To Switch
It's probably because of PQ2, it was released a few days ago in Japan for the 3DS.
Re: Monster Hunter-Style Online RPG Dauntless Is Coming To Switch With Cross-Platform Play
@aznable Online only, you can hunt solo but still needs to be online connected to their servers.
Re: Monster Hunter-Style Online RPG Dauntless Is Coming To Switch With Cross-Platform Play
This game is really underrated, more people should play it.
Re: Review: Ark: Survival Evolved - An Ambitious Survival Epic That's Borderline Unplayable On Switch
It runs like a turd everywhere, i wasn't expecting to be any different on the Switch.
Such a shame because i really like the idea of the game, but the poor optimization really kills it.
Re: Koei Tecmo's Mystery Switch Tease Was For A New Horse Racing Game
Damn, i was expecting Samurai Warriors 5...
Re: Waku Waku Sweets Brings Cooking Sim Joy To Nintendo Switch This Week
Looks fun, just not $39.99 fun.
Re: Dragon: Marked for Death Delayed Until January 2019
@Balta666 The first announcement trailer showed some solo-play footage so i assume there is a single-player option.
Re: Video: Nintendo Really Wants You To Know That The Switch Has More Than 1,000 Games
A weapon to surpass Steam.
Honestly i don't think i ever bought more than 100-150 games on a single console generation.
Re: Video: Nintendo Would Like To Remind You That 2DS Exists This Christmas
Planning to get a 2DS for my nephew and niece, they love playing it every time they visit me.
Re: 2K Confirms Civilization VI On Nintendo Switch Will Not Include Online Multiplayer
But it still costs $60...
2K being 2K, as usual.
Re: M2 Reveals The Nintendo Switch "Can Already Run" Sega Naomi Titles
House of the Dead series would be nice, i miss Goldman voice acting.
Re: The 3DS Is Far From Dead, Nintendo Says It's "Continuing With Efforts To Expand Sales"
Backlog on my 3DS is still pretty huge, i actually see myself playing it for the next few years considering the exclusive gems i have yet to play.
If more (good) games comes to it, i do see myself buying them.
Re: Three, Yes Three Resident Evil Games Are Headed To Nintendo Switch In 2019
I have a feeling the physical edition will have mandatory download, as usual.
Re: Try Not To Get Too Angry At The First 'Hero' Shot From The Upcoming Monster Hunter Movie

Re: Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends Definitive Edition Is Heading To Switch In The West
Is it really complete this time or will sell scenarios as DLC again like in the "Complete Edition"?
Re: Review: Sinner: Sacrifice For Redemption - A Distilled But Ultimately Disappointing Dark Souls Wannabe
Feels like an okay-ish game, but releasing alongside Dark Souls is just the worst timing ever.
Re: Wario's Latest Microgame Collection On 3DS Wasn't Just A Quick Money Grab
It was certainly a very polished entry in the series and worth playing, i don't regret buying it. Can't wait to see what they have in store for Wario on the Switch.
Re: Survival Horror Corpse Party: Blood Drive Could Be Switch-Bound According To ESRB Rating
First one is still the best. I don't recommend playing this one if you haven't played the first two.

Re: Guide: The Best Nintendo Switch Hardware Bundle Deals
$539 for a game code and a case.
Nice deal.
Re: Random: Super Mario Odyssey Hack Allows Player To Stack 200 Goombas
This makes me want a Mario Maker on the Switch even more, i really hope Nintendo gives us a new Mario Maker.
Re: Pirated Copies Of Super Mario Party Appear Online, Switch Piracy Concerns Continue To Grow
Games being leaked has been a thing a long time ago. I think the last Pokemon games got leaked one week before release.

Re: Rumour: Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn Will Apparently Be Exclusive To New Nintendo 3DS
The website got updated, now it only says "Nintendo 3DS" which probably means it'll be playable on all models.
Re: Random: Switch Hack-And-Slash Game Warriors Orochi 4 Just Won A Guinness World Record
I wish WO3 was released in english for the Switch, gonna have to live with just WO4.
Re: Visual Novel Steins;Gate Elite Is Heading To The West On Switch In February 2019
This visual novel is great and i recommend even to people who aren't into visual novels but still enjoy a good read.

Re: Soapbox: We Like To Grumble, But Nintendo Switch Online Is Actually A Very Generous Offer
Maybe... just maybe some of us wouldn't mind paying a bit more for a better service. It's not always about being cheap you know.

Game is so much fun on PC, great time killer. Shame it doesn't run great on the Switch. Even my PC gets pretty hot when running this game, i guess games like this is too heavy on the CPU side.
Re: Feature: 5 Times Sony Shamelessly Copied Nintendo
Damn, i miss PlayStation All-Stars. I hope they make another one...
Re: Rumour: Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn Will Apparently Be Exclusive To New Nintendo 3DS
Kinda weird but it could be an error since Sushi Striker also was marked as "New exclusive" but changed before launch.
I'm not exactly affected though, i got a N3DSXL anyway.

Re: Your Nintendo Switch Cloud Save Files Will Be Lost If Your Online Subscription Expires
I think saves should still be in the cloud and only block the ability to sync, not straight delete them.
"Your saves are still in your device, you're very unlikely to lose even if you take a few days to renew the sub"
So what's the point of cloud saving then? Might as well not exist if this is going to be an excuse from now on.

Re: Behold The Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Nintendo Switch Hardware Bundle
@TreonsRealm It says in the game box in red letters
"Game will not be playable until it'S official release date."
It'll probably contain some kind of pre-order code
EDIT: ops, quoted the wrong person. Fixed it haha
Re: Nintendo Website Suggests Multiple Switch Games Will Not Support Cloud Saves
Well, in Splatoon case they could save your progression server side like... you know, any other half-decent shooter in the market.
Re: Square Enix Announces Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition HD For Nintendo Switch

Still hoping they will localize Seiken Densetsu Collection...

Re: Soapbox: Why I Prefer Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate To World
TL;DR World is not on the Switch.
At least this time you didn't mistake Generations with Generations Ultimate like in that monsters list article.
