As long as I can play it thats all I care about, the only reason that compelled me to do Mint was OCD and wowing other people with my possessions.
In retrospect that doesn’t seem worthwhile to me and also fully digital means; less taken up space, better for environment longterm and the best part! Cheaper!
This is such a bad take. You can pin blame on a few bad actors who yes, hurt people, but that is NOT the majority.
I can’t tell if this author is giving such bad faith arguments or if they truly believe that the majority of the smash community (who have denounced the bad ones mind you) are really all responsible for people they have no control over.
@ButterSpill it has neither been confirmed nor denied yet, but usually when a dev team doesn’t highlight local coop and pushes online multiplayer, it usually means it wont be included.
Which will be a bummer tbh, i wonder how cross save progress will be logged, like will multiplayer be only for dungeons? And not as a caravan sharing the same yearly progress?
Much left unsaid, hopefully more light will be shed in the coming months
Its super obvious why its on there, its due to a Black History Month Campaign.
Lucian is a champion from League of Legends that isn't on Xbox, yet he's there too. Whoever put together the character collage threw her up there due to her skin tone, not due to confirming any "Rumors" about Xbox on Switch or vice versa lol.
@Dr_Lugae yeah i just remembered that, some of those rom hacks are dope, i just meant retail wise but yeah for sure every big franchise has those. I was just saying it's nice that companies like SEGA are willing to hire people with a passion for said company's games. Nintendo is very exclusive to natives on their company hires, especially with core video game IP's. Of course you could make the same argument with Whitehead, but hey, idgaf about diversity tbh, just wish there was more equal opportunity with Nintendo. Hell I could rant for days on this, nvm lol
Now i see why Nintendo was so quick to shut down AM2R, somebody other than Nintendo released a remake that is better than the one they were making lol.
I'll still play it, to support the interest of making more Metroid games in the future, but damn, that's just sad Nintendo got 1-UP'd by their fans in making a remake.
God i hate slur campaigns. Jon wasn't in the wrong, but theres so many SJW's out there that will complain and weak Companies (Like Playtonic) back down because they are afraid of being slurred as well.
It's like PETA, just ignore them, and eventually they'll become irrelevant and their stupidity will be well known.
I hope a Hat in Time keeps JonTron's voice lines, at least they have a sense of loyalty.
seeing as the DLC isn't going to be finished till quite a while after release, i thinks it dope
they have a point! why waste such an awesome experience with 1 playthrough!? just add more to the world that you didn't have time to finish, and go from there!
They should have a name for DLC like this, perhaps "Honest DLC" ??? mainly because of how it's not pay-walled pre-made content like EA or Activision does.
So many fans, with their own idea of what Zelda should be.
For me? I hated Skyward Sword, loathed the DS titles, but absolutely loved Majora's Mask & Twilight Princess. And Minish Cap, cough
So I guess from a Business perspective, they would cater to the "Largest Fanbase View" for maximum profits, but then again from an Art perspective, we should let Aonuma make them as he sees fit.
Long story short......... Probably gonna be random because of all the variables. Here's hoping "Breath of Fresh Air" is as the title exclaims!
@shinpaku Woh man, COD i can drop, but Fifa? how else will I pass the time with my Hispanic amigos? Nah, I still love fifa 12, best futbol game ever made
I pre-ordered the Zelda game.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................On Wii U BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The switch is essentially what the Wii U should have been at launch, but it took them 4 years to get it together.
That being said, better late than never. I hope they do well because Nintendo does things so differently from other companies, and along with their Unique IP's are why people love them.
Hopefully they stay strong, their shareholders though (and board of directors) are VERY SKEPTICAL and who blames them? Nintendo is on the rocks, but maybe launch sales will push them in the right direction.
Now WHO'S READY FOR MELEE!!!??? NTSC version, no PAL, screw that.
Lol, everyone is just gonna download an emulator if they want the monthly game. It's nice to know literally every game from Gamecube backwards is free to download and play.
this reminds me of the GameKid, I backed it on Kickstarter but unfortunately the creator is having issues hence the delay. Cept the GameKid runs raspberry Pi, meaning Nes, Snes, N64, GBC, GBA, etc. Cool concept though
In regards to personal growth HungryBox did amazing this year. I would like him to get placed at the top, but knowing how consistent Armada was this year, it's gonna be close. Also Plup played out of his mind too, I kinda wish he'd get top 3 at least.
Yah gotta remember, Nintendo HATES having their stock sit on shelves, so they'd rather under produce than over produce.
Eventually they'll saturate the market like they always do, it just won't be in time for Christmas which is why so many people are complaining.
Lets be honest though, most Young Kids probably don't want an NES classic though, few of them will appreciate the games and say they look bad. Yet parents pay 300-400% of MSRP value because they don't know better. What a shame
@WhiteTrashGuy I kinda agree lol, but haters gonna hate.
Also I can confirm this is very unlikely to be "a Higher Up Order" for PR. My friend worked at Best Buy for a while and there was a guy just like this fellow but played WOW on the PC every day lol. Eventually when one of the lower end gaming PC's (that was used/returned) was low enough, a group got together and did the same thing! They didn't record it or anything because, well I don't know honestly, but it was cool. This kid actually sat in line with me for black friday 2 years in a row and then when everyone went inside at midnight, he'd just go home because he didn't have any money
Don't let people with negative opinions/accusations with 0 pieces of evidence get you down, otherwise you let them win.
Happy holidays folks, tis the season, and while acts of kindness like this are few, they happen, you best believe it!
Let's be honest, anyone with a decent PC can play all the old games up to Wii for "Free" (cough, emulators, cough).
A new way to play Melee would be awesome though to be honest. I love the idea of mobile Melee, would be a great way for Nintendo to also add patches to Old Melee and maybe balance stuff out for once. No need to nerf the crap out of OP characters like Fox, just buff low tier ones to make them viable #BringBackTheKong
also, coop Pikmin and FFCC!!!! that'd be soo gooooood

Re: Talking Point: amiibo Have Always Been Physical DLC, Skyward Sword HD Is No Different
If its physical its NOT DLC.
Digital has unlimited supply whereas physical is VERY limited.
QoL features should not be limited to a limited few, thats just stupid and honestly anyone who disagrees is probably privileged

Re: Playtonic Removes JonTron's Voice from Yooka-Laylee

It's like PETA, just ignore them, and eventually they'll become irrelevant and their stupidity will be well known.

Re: Editorial: After The Bold Brilliance Of Breath Of The Wild, Where Can Zelda Go Next?
