I'm not a Monster Hunter player but Stories looks really good. When I saw the first gameplay footages the only thing I could think was "will it get localized?". Well, now thank you, Capcom. It's a day one purchase for me
@PK_Boss11 I always talk about those games because they sell consoles. Maybe not now, but I believe those are the games the Switch needs. The more consoles sold, the more third-party companies will get their eyes on the system. It was the same thing with the 3DS: after Zelda (OoT 3D) and Mario (3D Land), the next big games were MH and Pokémon (correct me if I'm wrong). And after that, there were lots of games coming due to the install base that was actually pretty big. My question was a little bit of rethorical, tho. But after Mario and -potentially- Metroid, I believe Pokémon and MH would be great games to be on the system. (Sorry for any misspelling, I'm still learning english)
When Kimishima said they'd make profit since the system launch he wasn't joking. And, yeah, BOTW is the only must-have game at launch, but it will probably be one of the must-have titles for the whole system lifetime
I wouldn't buy a Switch for my 8-9 years kids just because it's a handheld device. Nintendo needs something cheaper for parents to buy for their children because there's still a market behind this, and the 3DS is getting really old. Maybe a cheaper, tinier, lighter and less easy to break Nintendo Switch, with no TV support and the same library (basically a "2DS") would work. But if they divide their consoles again and make Pokemon and Monster Hunter exclusives for that handheld, Switch is dead
I hope it sells even more than the PS2, although it's not likely. Just forget that stupid 3DS successor idea, bring Pokémon and Monster Hunter to the system and we will see this console selling AF
Okay, now I'm really concerned about this. Specially because so many of you guys are happy about this 3DS successor. Pokémon and Monster Hunter are the most important games for the Switch, so if they decided to move those games to this new handheld instead of Switch, it's gonna kill the hybrid console. The only reason for me to be optimistic about this is the fact that Nintendo can always make the systems communicate themselves, but this new handheld would probably be weaker than the Switch, which is also a bad thing (sorry, bad english comment passing through)
I was never a big fan of MH myself, but I was really hyped for this. Stories was going to be the first MH game I'd play if it was localized and it gets me sad to know that this won't happen anymore, considering the poor sales in Japan.
I'd be glad if they had removed Miis too. I think it's a feature that should be exclusive to Wii/WiiU eras. But, for the Switch, I'd like to see something new

Whoa! I love the design, but that price tho...
Re: Feature: What We Expect From Nintendo's Annual Financial Reports
@AlternateButtons I think he's talking about the EU's pricing, which is more expensive than US's. €250 would match the $299

Re: Square Enix is Considering More Nintendo Switch Releases
Kingdom Hearts 3 will be using the Unreal Engine 4, isn't it? I hope they port it to the Switch
Re: Video: NBA Jam Fans Might Like the Look of NBA Playgrounds, Coming to Nintendo Switch
The only basketball vídeo game I've ever played was Mario Hoops 3-on-3 but this looks pretty fun
Re: Feature: Thirty Years Ago, Little Mac Became a Champion in Punch-Out!!
@impurekind That would be nice. But I'd be pleased to see Little Mac as a DLC character for ARMS if they don't make a Punch Out for the Switch, though
Re: Review: Snake Pass (Switch eShop)
I'll have to agree with Alex, Noodle is probably the best name for the snake

Re: Reggie Fils-Aimé Promises "A Big E3" For Nintendo This Year
Is it too early for an announcement of those Pokémon and Monster Hunter games that everybody want for the Switch?

Re: Random: Would You Trade Your Brand New Nintendo Switch For A Fully-Boxed SNES?
@Tarvaax That SNES is more valuable than a Switch. Maybe you could even sell the SNES, get a Switch and buy some VC games with the money lol
Re: Friend Codes Are Back on Nintendo Switch, But There Are Other Options
What's harder to understand than Nintendo using FC in 2017? People defending this archaic method.
Re: Friend Codes Are Back on Nintendo Switch, But There Are Other Options
I just can't understand why this is the main option to add people when the Wii U did a better job by adding/searching users by their IDs

@JaxonH I hope you're right. But if it's not even in development yet, I wonder when will this come out?
