@KitsuneNight Only Doki Doki Panic had a save feature and that was because you needed to play the game 4x to see the ending (which was later removed in the rereleased version, Super Mario USA).
Famicom version of SMB 3 did not have any save function either.
But, it should be noted that the lack of a save function isn't just an 8 bit problem. There were SNES, Genesis, a few PlayStation games and even GBA games that lacked a save function .
Wasn't this already open for preorders at Gamestop, Best Buy, Walmart, etc. just after the direct mini aired? I feel like that would be proof enough that a physical version was coming, but then again they do sell Fortnite "physical versions" that only come with a digital code...

The last week of May is looking to have plenty of major game releases, I wonder if the Battle for Bikini Bottom remake will still come out near the end of May.
Decent direct, considering the circumstances. Nice to see 2k and Atlus starting to fully get on board with the Switch. BD II looks nice. Panzer Dragoon looks to be a good remake. As long as Ninjala isn't pay-to-win, I think it'll be great.
Bit of a shame, that Namco and Capcom didn't bring any of their A tier titles. And Nintendo brought their B game with this direct (not surprising with how much Nintendo still relies on physical game sales). Was hoping to see something from Warner Bros., specifically the Midway part..
@mesome713 Ah yes, my favorite dish at any restaurant "cooked animal tears". I'm sure it's on the menu on every steakhouse in the country, right next to the "Grilled last sounds of a cow before it died"!
Maybe Nintendo could patch in a special easter egg for those who take this path: If you talk to Tom Nook after doing all of this, he'll give you the "incredibly fun" almond picking minigame after finishing it he'll give you animal cruelty stock footage (provided by PETA) similar to PETA flash games as a reward.
Also if you have any cat or dog type villagers, they'll "move away" and disappear with no explanation.
Now that Gamestop is closed, looks like Hobby Lobby is next to (rightfully) be a punching bag because of the poor excuse why all their stores are staying open.
@Mjoen If Nintendo hired everyone that ever made anything with their IP in it like all you armchair internet business management experts demand, Nintendo would have a million developers pushing out tons of shovelware with their IPs like those dime-a-dozen C-rate indie publishers on the Eshop.
If any of these developers want a job at Nintendo, maybe they should propel themselves and do what it takes to get there like that American guy who learned Japanese and moved to Japan so he could work at Nintendo. In the end he became an environmental artist for BOTW
@glorymade
I think it's like YouTube's system, where most of the time no one actually goes to court. And instead Nintendo just files a takedown with Sony so X content can be removed.
I would assume after if you kept using Nintendo's IP after being warned multiple times, Sony would just ban you from posting your creation's online.

Do his artistic skills know no boundaries?

He's using Dreams on Playstation in any way he can,
First, make a bootleg Mario model.
And put him in a world filled with flat textures
Then make sure the contrast's high,

@Shadow0blivion TL;DR @SwitchForce I assume this law that apparently prohibits censorship completely in Fantasyland (as this law doesn't obviously exist in the US as the Hays Code, Comics Code, and even an attempt at something similar for videogames in 1993 were all encouraged by the federal government) is named Godwin's Law?
@Shadow0blivion @SwitchForce
If censorship by a private company is illegal, explain to me why Howard Lincoln (Former president of Nintendo of America) or Kenichiro Yoshida (current president of Sony) aren't wearing stripes behind bars right now?
So according to some people in this comment section, Castlevania should appeal to people who hate the traditional "side scrolling nonsense" Castlevanias (a.k.a mostly non-fans)
@roadrunner343 Thanks for correcting me, should've double checked that beyond all the headlines about E3 being the "biggest gaming convention".
I'm surprised that Gamescom has 350,000+ attendance compared to E3 at around 65,000. Maybe it's just me being not European, but to me it always felt like E3 was the bigger event.
I don't get why people want E3 to die, I'm pretty sure it's still the best attended gaming convention in the world. But, no one wants smaller conventions like Gamescom, PAX East to die.
@mesome713 Just curious, I see you overly praise Nintendo for every action they do, but you do realize Nintendo is one of the least environmentally friendly company in the video game business, right?
I remember Nintendo used to be constantly raked over the coals by Greenpeace every year during the Wii era.
With Hatsune Miku having shortages due to SEGA underestimating the demand for that game from the Switch audience, I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happened to P5S.
Not to say even without shortages, it would sell as much to the Switch audience as the already established P5 fanbase on PS4. But, I do think such shortages (if they did indeed happen) could've really hurt the sales of the Switch version.
@sixrings “I'll be able to play Nintendo first party games in 1080p 60fps on a PlayStation? That's news to me.” If you just want Nintendo games at 1080p/60fps, Why have you complained about third party games being 720p such as Metro Redux and Samurai Showdown (that you would’ve bought if “it was 1080p” which it already is on Xbox and PS4)?
You frequently complain about the inconsistency of Nintendo fans, because we’re not all a hive mind (imagine that!). But, you frequently flip flop between wanting a Switch Pro , so you can have flawless third party ports and just wanting to play my Nintendo games at 1080p when someone asks you, “why not just buy it on PS”.
Nice to see an announcement, release or Direct from Nintendo remain relatively uncontroversial, I feel like it's been since LM3 came out when it last happened.
Not to say we shouldn't criticize Nintendo when they do something wrong, but it's just nice to see.
If this was a Cyberpunk 2077 leak, the journalist would've gained a hate mob rather quickly, as it would be seen as a sin against CDProjekt Red (which did happen at E3 2018), but because its Sword and Shield, its completely justified.
@Crono1973 "What else would they say? 'Our survey got very little attention'." As far as I can find Atlus has never previously responded to the results of one of its surveys before. And that's not the most notable part of the article anyway as the article mentions: "this is the most feedback the company has ever received on one of its surveys"
@mesome713 "Ask the youth which they want, some has been Hero from Dragon Quest, or the great Batman." When has Smash ever been a popularity contest? If it was Goomba and the old man laying on the ground in Viridian City would've made it in before most of the cast.
And DQ hero a has-been? DQ is a lucrative franchise in Japan, the latest installment has sold millions, the mobile app DQ Walk has been a big success,, and the franchise makes millions of dollars of merchandise. It's quite literally a multi-billion dollar franchise.
"'m just saying if you gonna go that rout, give me Spring Man, or Rex from Xenoblade." If we're making this a popularity contest again, DQ11 sold more than both those games combined. Hell, DQ11 sold more in 2 days in Japan alone more than Xenoblade 2 did in 2 years worldwide. And I'm 100% sure that most kids would choose Batman over those 2.
"Dragon Quest isn't bigger than Nintendo" You're comparing apples to oranges here. It's like saying "Warner Bros. is bigger than Frozen!", sure Nintendo is overall more popular than DQ, but most of Nintendo's franchises are less popular than DQ except for Mario and Pokemon.
". I'm talking iconic figures who make you want to buy a game. Give me John Wick!" Weren't you complaining about third party characters not having anything to do with Nintendo?
If we're making this a popularity franchise again, the John Wick movie franchise has only made less than 600 million dollars with 3 movies. DQ is a multi-billion dollar franchise.
@mesome713 Wait, Dragon Quest, the Famicom's and Super Famicom's second best selling franchise, behind only Mario. The franchise where every main game (published on a Nintendo console) has been published by Nintendo in the west plus the spinoffs. And the franchise where Iwata personally helped translate the first game. It isn't apparently part of Nintendo history? What?
Oh I guess it isn't a POPULAR enough third party series to be in Smash. The one that's sold MILLIONS in Japan alone! I guess Batman with very popular games on Nintendo systems such as.... uh that Sunsoft one.... or that spinoff to the Arkahm series on Wii U and I'm sure there's... a few others?
And do I really have to make a case for Banjo Kazooie, where the two most popular installments were funded and published by Nintendo and were made by a company (that at the time) owned by Nintendo? Or Terry, who's appeared on many games over the years on Nintendo platforms? But, I guess Doshin the Giant is a better choice because "he's owned by Nintendo"?
