@Priceless_Spork True, but the most popular games were on the NES/Famicom Classic. Replacing a couple of the more popular games like Pac-Man and Metroid with slightly less popular games like Doki Doki Panic could help balance sales.
The best part is that most of BotW's issues were fixed in a Day 1 patch. Same for another game that I won't mention here due to a meaningless, heated debate. Mr. Shifty? No guys, it's OK! A 30GB game may have had some frame rate issues, so it's alright that our much smaller game has them. I like TinyBuild, but this is probably their worst case of PR yet.
Why does this surprise anyone? They needed a quick burst of money after the Wii U disaster o they could easily support the Switch's launch. That's the NES Classic's/Famicom Classic's purpose. The Switch released, so it will only be a detriment to sell them now. After all, they need some way to make the Virtual Console appealing while still having the classics available. The NES Classic would make Nintendo lose money at this rate.
Wow, a Nintendo site mentioned Patcher again! Seriously though, I think he could be helping Nintendo in the long run. Not many triple A companies get as many harsh critics as Nintendo does, and I think Nintendo might have been able to use these critic's ideals to create new features in their games. In a weird, twisted way, I am glad to see that Patcher has been mentioned again.
@manu0 How does one simple mistake make them bad people? It's like saying that Nintendo is a terrible company because they didn't retire the Wii U earlier. It was a problem that they needed to resolve, and any situation would have hurted them in the long-run. I get that the Wii U version was delayed, but at least they are offering a Switch version that will (eventually) be released. People criticize others over everything these days...
@Samuel-Flutter I'm alright if this isn't a "revival" in the sense that we were expecting. Just having a game like Kazooie in this age will spark some interest if it sells well. Even with the bad reviews, this game could still be a revival. Only sales will tell...
Seriously though, we should move this "discussion" to a thread. Someone looking at the reactions for the Yooka-Laylee Rap will be seriously confused by this.
@JTMnM Well, GIFs are another huge source of debate. If people cannot pronounce it one way, the entire community gets in a debate and a YouTube star will be removed from 17 random, direct-to-DVD movies! (Insert another sarcastic remark here.)
@Joeynator3000 I like Playtonic. This Jon situation is making everyone freak out, though. I can simply say, "Oh well. Maybe next time.", and move on. I just hope everyone can put Jafari aside and remember that Yooka-Laylee is supposed to be the next Banjo-Kazooie. I'm crossing my fingers that this won't feel like a spin-off of that series (Nuts and Bolts), but instead a revival.
I believed this up to the "FLUDD" chat room part. That made me originally gasp, as I thought Sunshine was forgotten by Nintendo. Then, I looked back at "Samus Seekers". Then, I looked at the date.
@allav866
You are not alone. I thought it would be some kind of "Escape the Room" puzzle, and not a bunch of puzzles on paper sheets. Did they say how much admission was?
@PlywoodStick At least overwatch is well made and deserves some sort of reward, unlike Pokémon Go.
BLIZZARD BIAS ENDS
Overwatch is a decent shooter, but they added 2 characters and maybe 3 maps as free DLC now. Compared to WoW's expansions, it just does not seem complete.
@-DEMISE- Oh my gosh. SORCERY, I TELL YOU! Especially if they are the original colors. They lowered the Green/Purple ones by 2 dollars and raised originals by 1 dollar.
I'm usually not interested in Skylanders, but this idea seems pretty nice. After all, this creates even more ideas for these Skylanders instead of destroying the Spyro series even more.

Re: Citigroup Analysts Predict Nintendo Will Release a Mini-Switch in 2019
If they made one for the Wii and even the 3DS (2DS), they'll make one for the Switch.
Re: Feature: The Big Nintendo Direct Summary - 12th April
Those yellow Joy-Cons look nice, and I need the Female Corrin and Bayonetta 1 amiibo.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Composer Confirms Soundtrack Is Practically Complete
I want this to not come sooner. Although that seems harsh, this game needs all of the details that Chronicles had to be a true successor.
Re: The Yooka-Laylee Rap Tries to be the Best and Worst Thing All at Once
@gamermole Oh no.
RARE DOES IT AGAIN!
Let's be honest though, Playtonic basically is a lesser 90's Rare at this point.

Re: Round Up: Yooka-Laylee's Scores Are In, And Critics Appear Divided
I'm a huge fan of 90's Rare, even with its flaws. These reviews, even the 2 out of 10, are giving me more confidence to get the game.
Re: Hearthstone On Switch Is "A Good Discussion Worth Having", According To The Game's Designer
This is interesting. I wonder how they'll utilize the docked mode, though.
Re: The Yooka-Laylee Rap Tries to be the Best and Worst Thing All at Once
@TheLZdragon It was a stretch goal. At least they are delivering on promises (Mighty Number 9)...

Re: Guide: How to Farm Dragon Parts in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
@AlternateButtons I'm not sure if links are allowed here. The video on YouTube is called "Journey of the Great Plateau Boulder."
Re: Guide: How to Farm Dragon Parts in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
In other BotW news, did you see the video where someone tried to launch a boulder from one side of the map to the other? It's pretty interesting.
Re: The Yooka-Laylee Rap Tries to be the Best and Worst Thing All at Once
Agreed.
Re: The Yooka-Laylee Rap Tries to be the Best and Worst Thing All at Once
@Joeynator3000 Same. At least I found someone who agrees with me.
Re: The Yooka-Laylee Rap Tries to be the Best and Worst Thing All at Once
Either way, I'm getting the Steam version 2 weeks after the game releases at the longest.
Re: The Yooka-Laylee Rap Tries to be the Best and Worst Thing All at Once

Re: Super Mario Run is Now Live on Android
The iOS version just updated, and added Yoshi recolors as new characters. They allow you to get certain colors of Toads quicker in Toad Rally.
Yay?
Re: Site News: Nintendo Life is Red, Nintendo Life was Blue
I like the colors, although the main layout is slightly worse.

How is this even related to Nintendo? Minecraft is a property of Mojang, not Nintendo. Can someone explain this to me?

@Tyranexx Thank you! I really love this Mythical Pokémon, and lost it when I lost Alpha Sapphire. At least I can get back the Sacred Sword move.
Re: New Version-Exclusive Pokémon, Pokémon Refresh and More Shown Off for Sun and Moon
The sandcastle has to be the best Pokémon of all time, though. I like it the most out of all of the new designs, although Orangu is OK.
