Planning to visit Universal Hollywood this summer, hopefully will see some nice views of the Nintendo construction on the Lower Lot! Already seen some nice pictures of the hills having been installed.
@TheFullAndy I was joking, applying Balan logic to that game. I don't know how buying an used copy of anything would help support the company/devs making it.
@Clammy There's also this Sonic game from 2006 that reviewers have a grudge against where the creators were bullied so much that they changed the formula and stopped selling it.
I'm sure it's on Ebay for an inflated price, so you can help support the devs.
The N64 didn't sell too badly compared to the SNES... in the US. It just massively flopped in Japan at a time when the most successful games in the industry were Japanese.
Chicken Little is being removed off Netflix on March 31st, this must all be an evil plot by Nintendo to destroy the entertainment entirely on March 31st.
For anyone curious only 4 games have sold over 1 million physical copies on PS4 compared to Switch's 14. Those are: 1. Monster Hunter World 2. Dragon Quest XI 3. Final Fantasy XV 4. KH 3
For a bit before FFXV came out, MGS V was the highest selling PS4 game in Japan with 430k copies sold! Switch is doing stupendous.
Either Sakurai is doing a great job at trolling and misleading everyone that the Hunter isn't coming when it actually is... or more likely all the Monster Hunter for Smash rumors are fake.
@Ryu_Niiyama "Save the girl" is easier to introduce in a 10-20 second cutscene and it's a believable thing for a street gang to commit (compared trying to conquer the world).
@idrawrobots They're Gamecube controllers that were formally Wii remotes created from Wanda's reality distorting itself. Not having wires is the least weirdest part of what's happening!
The Capcom Stick was made by Koch Media, so they're the ones who got the rights from Disney for Alien Vs. Predator not Capcom (who just licensed their games to Koch)
Just like it's Arcade1up has both a license from Marvel and Capcom to rerelease MVC, but it doesn't mean that Capcom has the rights currently to rerelease those games on console.
Not saying that it'd be impossible to get it though.
@Jakiboy Camelot has never worked on any of those Mario franchises and I don't see why they would now. While they've been working on the Mario Golf series since the N64 days.
Maybe if your concern was a new Golden Sun, your comment would be a valid concern
@Vortexeo So far it's sold just a bit less than 3 million this fiscal year (and we're 3/4ths done with it and past holiday sales). So if it continues at this pace probably not by possible by the time the Switch kicks the bucket.
Plus I'm sure there's going to be at least some type of remake from Gamefreak which will cause sales to slow down for S&S
@Andy_Witmyer Man, I've been told good bye plenty of times, I better check if I'm alive or not as apparently saying good bye is now only for dead people!
@JayJ Unless if Sonic games are going to get anywhere close to AAA production values again, I doubt it, relatively unknown voice actors are much cheaper than a famous Hollywood comedian.
For a second I thought this was an announcement of a new SwitchSimpsons game or a port/remaster of one of the (good) ones. I guess, just have to wait some more...

@Averagewriter It is the arcade version just likely edited to remove any mention of Nintendo and Midway and online multiplayer added. Same team who worked on the Xbox ports of the two Killer Instinct arcade games are working on this.
Only console game is the bonus game Battletoads/Double Dragon.
@FroZtedFlakerZz Lucasarts did make plenty of games before it was shutdown, but I'm guessing this is meant to be the post-Disney buyout Star Wars games. @Liam_Doolan Ah, that makes sense.
I was kind of hoping when I read "history of games from Lucasfilm" for something a bit more exciting than a few collaborations and some of EA's Star Wars games, like as if there weren't any Star Wars games from before 2015.
There needs to be a Namco Museum 2 with all the obvious games that are missing from the first collection (Galaxian, Mappy, Rally X, Xevious, Pac Mania if possible Ms. Pac-Man and Pole Position) and maybe for the first time a Namco Museum 3D with the Tekken series, Ridge Racer, Cybersled, etc.
@dcstud
Frogger is already part of the Arcade archives lineup though the main tune is changed.
@Tourtus It probably wasn't created by someone at Nintendo, since it's apart of the larger Universal Studios Japan website. Still they should've sent the needed art assets to the team at Universal Parks and Resorts that created the website.

It's coming out in two months, that's not enough time to save fundamentally bad gameplay, graphics, etc.
Maybe if it had an extra year of development ahead of it then they might be able to fix it.
