Physical NFTs.

@Phillips455 Wow, wasn't expecting it to be that much... Hopefully they make a new tier for a stand alone physical copy for a lower price.

@jagetron Plus they got amiibos and other merchandise. Honestly I don't think they really need a Kickstarter for this but neither did Platinum Games or the Shenmue III developers.

I wonder if I should back this, do they have a tier for a physical copy?

@blindsquarel I always thought Florida's case numbers going up was because of how many fled to the state from New York and California. More people equal more cases usually.

@blindsquarel Yeah, I don't like the updates, sure it's a very small bit of new info but NintendoLife has made new articles for far less important things.

Also agree with what you said about the comments.

Saw the release date announced live. The super computer used to announce the date was interesting.

@nofriendo Unfortunately it seems like it's a rare game but the style is nice.

Having a clay-mation art style for a video game would look amazing!

@ATaco Disinformation implies that it is a deliberate lie, this is just people speculating (and some are joking) as to what the reason for this game's removal is. Nothing wrong with that unless someone claims one of the above reasons is the definitive truth. Like you said, we don't know the true reason, people are just guessing.

@Spider-Kev Pretty sure the law only prohibits foreign buyouts of Japanese companies if the Japanese government gave money to that company at some point.

@Fantasia I heard you just need a save file for that game, so renting it from somewhere and starting a file should give you the song in Smash.

@HotGoomba Agreed, Kirby Star Allies was praised, I don't think I've been more let down by another game.

I've seen other Platinum streams live, hopefully I can see this one live too.

@SuperChris01 Not surprised they're still on Windows XP, lots of older tech still uses it. That is worrying though since Microsoft stopped supporting XP years ago so it's not secure anymore. I could see using AWS for eShop downloads and hosting their website, it seems fine to use them for that, but to use those same servers for gaming just seems like a bad idea, it's probably why their service is so laggy...

Wait, Nintendo is using Amazon Web Services for their online services? Why are we buying subscriptions when they aren't even hosting their own servers? I could see Amazon charging Nintendo and then Nintendo charges us but surely Nintendo could host the servers themselves for far cheaper, no doubt Amazon is increasing the price.

I'd appreciate anyone willing to explain this because I might be misunderstanding.

Got the same score I did last time, 10/12.

@UglyCasanova I'm disappointed they didn't even use nanab berries instead of real bananas. Aside from the buttons, there are a few Tropiuses in the pattern but it's really hard to see.

@Nico07 I think them becoming more reclusive happened after Iwata died, not when Reggie left. Iwata seemed way more passionate about his job and appeared in multiple directs, hosted almost entirely by himself, unlike the new CEO who we barely hear from or see.

@ModdedInkling Yeah I agree, I think when Nintendo skips out on major events like The Game Awards it's a bad idea, from what we've seen from the Wii U, Nintendo's most dedicated fans can't keep them afloat, they need to draw in more and new people and one way to do that is have a big and noticeable presence at special events, one where gamers from different gaming platforms watch too. On the marketing thing, Nintendo's ads are really boring now, it's usually a family or one person just playing the Switch with some game footage. I miss the 90s and 2000s where their ads were more interesting and varied.

@MarcusIsCool Nintendo was way more personal with their fans a decade or so ago, I remember for the Mario 30th anniversary they showcased fan made videos and the eShop used to have videos made by fans on it. One of them was a parkour video but the people were dressed like Mario characters, I don't remember what it was called but I liked that fans were interacting with Nintendo in some official capacity.

Anyone else feel like Nintendo is getting more reclusive as time goes on?

So that's what that Minecraft animation and number were for by the YouTube logo...

@YusseiWarrior3000 They could have made both, I'm not saying it should be one or the other.

@NoTinderLife Honestly, that'd make this app a lot better, throw in some My Nintendo functions and it'd be great for all things Nintendo.

@YusseiWarrior3000 I would buy costumes for characters like Samus, Olimar and more, too bad they only ever made them for the Miis.

@Snatcher Yeah, since this exploit is done through the in game and PC and Battle Box it should clone the item the Pokemon is holding. Might be a good idea to clone some valuable items to sell.

@Snatcher Don't forget to duplicate rare items like Master Balls and other items you only get once per play through.

Yo this would be awesome if it came to Switch or PC, I loved the DS version of Chrono Trigger and the 2D animated scenes were great!

I suppose this is a better investment than NFTs but still a huge waste of cash to me.

Remember when the online was free and you didn't need trials or subscriptions?

@Mountain_Man We'll find out if Nintendo patches it out in an update sometime in the future. (I'd like it to stay, personally)

@Chibi_Manny Star fragments maybe.

@k8sMum @Lyricana I understand that the game got dull for you two (it got dull for me as well) and starting fresh renewed your interests but would you have gone and restarted if this game never got this big update? For me, if this update never came I'd probably would have quit.

@Dad You can turn off you're phone's location whenever you want, it can only track you 24/7 if you let it.

@Ludovsky I guess it's just a personal thing with me, I'm able to play a game I've put down for a long, long time without any issues. Even if it's something heavily story based.

Glad I didn't restart then, not sure why so many others did.

@SalvorHardin You can block channels by clicking on the three dotted line and then clicking on "Don't Recommend Channel" and you won't see that channel anymore.

@BlubberWhale Creators can still see the dislikes, it's just hidden from the public, which defeats the point YouTube set out to make. This just hides what the public thinks from the public itself.

@Xiovanni I don't know if Nintendo or whatever studio they would partner with would allow a big enough budget to make the animatronics look convincingly real. I'm not opposed to that idea however, I like old movies like Tremors where puppets and animatronics are used for the monsters.

Lots of people want Brie Larson to play Samus in a movie but I think it'd be better if they did a 3D or 2D animated movie, doing a live action movie would just use copious amounts of CGI to make the aliens and environments anyway so just go all the way and not have any real humans on screen. Plus I think it'd be better to have one of Samus's old voice actors reprise the role to keep her voice consistent and propel a new person to stardom.

@ModdedInkling Depends on how many points they ask for, here in the U.S. 1 gold coin is the equivalent to 1 U.S. cent, if they ask for 600 gold coins for a pack of cards that's still 6 dollars, which is what the old Welcome Amiibo card packs used to sell for here. I'd love to see better rewards from My Nintendo, I think exclusive amiibo cards would be an awesome start but they could be hard to obtain if the point exchange for them is high.

@ModdedInkling As cool as that would be, I don't see Nintendo offering amiibo cards for platinum coins on My Nintendo. Maybe for the gold coins?

@nessisonett Thorium has less of those problems when it comes to nuclear power sources, it's much, much safer and if leaks do happen it doesn't irradiate the area for a century. I don't support uranium as a power source. I'd also think it's best for countries to be independent when it comes to energy.

As I mentioned in another comment I wrote, green energy sources need lots of land to generate proper amounts of energy, land that is better suited for farming and forests which clean our air and provide habitats for animals. I feel like since land is a finite resource, it's important to save a lot of it. Nuclear power plants use much smaller amounts of land compared to green alternatives. Green sources of energy are also entirely dependent on the weather, if it's cloudy or if the wind isn't blowing hard enough the energy output decreases or stops completely at night for solar. Some power plants fix this with reserve batteries which are terrible for the environment because of the materials used and the processes needed to create them or they switch back to natural gas or other fossil fuels. Nuclear stays at the same output level irregardless of conditions and as long as the waste is properly stored it's harmless.

Solar panels use tons of water to be cleaned (which can be problematic with droughts) and they're made from rare metals which have to be dug up using powerful mining equipment which emit large amounts of carbon and other toxins into the air and the panels aren't easily recycled when they reach the ends of their lives. Wind turbines also have this same recycling issue, so they just get thrown into landfills when they break. Also I read somewhere that the materials in solar panels can be toxic and pollute the ground when their thrown away which can poison groundwater.

@nessisonett We could severely drop carbon emissions if loads of countries went ahead with nuclear energy. France uses nuclear and produces so much energy they send some of it to other countries. Also, electric vehicles aren't helping if they're recharged with fossil fuel power plants, a lot of people think they're saving the world by driving a Tesla car. I don't think anyone needs to sacrifice anything, we just need to upgrade power grids to use nuclear energy.

@WeltraumDreamer As it stands now, we can support a population of 10 to 12 billion with the world's current farms and population growth has stagnated in the developed world or it is at sub replacement levels, meaning people aren't having enough kids to replace themselves. Newer options for food are becoming available and indoor farming could become a widespread thing. Think of a parking garage, but each level is farmland, maximizing the land available by building up.

I don't know what a future limit for the human population can be but as technology advances we could potentially never have a cap if new planets are terraformed and colonized. For now though we ought to build thorium reactors and scrap the so-called green energy sources which eat up huge swaths of land, driving out wild life or outright harming it like wind turbines do to endangered birds and fill landfills when they break and are made of hard to find materials. Thorium is cheap and abundant and has potential to be recycled or repurposed once it is used up.

@WeltraumDreamer Or we could build thorium reactors for energy to save the environment instead of implementing sinister population control laws that will no doubt violate human rights.

@ModdedInkling amiibo cards can be bought in North America, assuming you can find a store that has them in stock. I used to buy the Animal Crossing cards from Game Stop before New Horizons was even announced.

@WeltraumDreamer I don't know if Nintendo limits how many duplicate items a single person can purchase but if they have a system like that in place I'm sure scalpers have found a work around.

@SuperMariCrow Scalper bots perhaps.

So what happens when you trigger this glitch? It says your save file remains unaffected but doesn't say what it does.

My only issue with the game so far is how inaccurate it is with counting steps, I've compared it with a pedometer and the game seems to under count by 100s.

To my surprise I've seen flowers planted by other players, didn't think I'd see that in my area.
