I'm no performance snob, but that fourth screenshot is so rough it looks like a PS Vita game.
EDIT: Does the site randomize it's images for the review? Never noticed that before. Since I'm getting different screenshots every time I reload this post, I'll note that I'm specifically referring to the one with Ryu fighting near the peach blossoms trees.
@Sinton I believe they're technically licensed as toys because they're just small enough to fit in the same category as the tabletops and tiny arcades that you see at the same retailers, resulting in a lower licensing fee.
Also can't have the boxes these come in be too large for the retailers and take up too much space on their shelves.
Interesting that there's more comments for this than the new Sonic game reveal... almost like revealing it through just a logo that gives no hints about what the game will be wasn't the best idea.
@Tamale I don't see it, but there was a rumor from a few weeks ago (take with a huge grain of salt) that Universal Studios Japan was planning an interactive Pokémon ride to replace their version of the Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man.

"it all pretty much boils down to Apple being a monopoly on iOS"
Isn't this like saying that Walmart has a monopoly on what's sold inside a Walmart? There's other brands of phones out there and it's not like EPIC is lacking the funds to make their own Fortnite branded phone if they really wanted to.
Other than having the same cartridges and name there is absolutely no similarity between the NES top loader and regular NES, stop cheeting Nintendo and just let Sony win ! !! !1!
@PoopScoop It would make sense considering they're relatively new CEO, Chapek, worked in merchandising for years which would included working on the business side of video games. He'd be someone who would know the money making potential of the medium.
Compared to someone, like the old CEO, Iger, who definitely seemed to be a firm believer in old media tenets (movie and TV) before everything else, which is why he gave up on both Disney Interactive and LucasArts.
@Mando44646 Orlando will open down the road, it's just going to take longer as they're building an entirely new park with 3 other areas in addition to SNW.
@outsider83
They demolished a few decades old soundstages and built new ones farther away from the main park area mostly on old Studio Tour attractions (for example the Red Sea that was seen in the Mel Brooks movie History of the World Part 1 is gone)
@zool The Directs are still considered apart of E3 though. Changing it from a live conference to digital doesn't change things, especially when Nintendo still has large, elaborate booths on the show floor like this from 2019: https://youtu.be/8zoaVhZjDKo
The governor of California just said this week that most venues should be able to return to 100% capacity in June, I believe specifically just a bit before E3 would've normally started.

"Off the top of my head, the gamecube is the last system that wasn't just a gimmick. Donkey Kong Country is probably the last game to create new characters of any lasting value. And Smash Bros is almost certainly the last new idea Nintendo had that delivered anything worth getting excited about the company's creative potential."
Animal Crossing? Golden Sun? Warioware? Pikmin? Splatoon? ARMS? Do those not count?
Also I have no idea how gimmicks prove that Nintendo doesn't have any new ideas. Are power consoles just naturally more creative or something?
Just curious on PureXBOX do you complain about the games on Gamepass not being completely new and built from the ground up for the service?

A PSP is not a PlaySTATION, because it's not STATIONary.
Am I doing this right?
