Nintendo should just end the program all together.
Not because it’s terrible but because of the nonsense I’m reading about how anyone deserves anything, like they forget they get a game when they buy a game.
Five bucks?! They should be paying off my home loans! My life is ruined!
The reactions in here. NIS should have just kept the five bucks. People would be fussing anyway. At least it’d be more about the part that’s actually important.
My copy of The End is Nigh arrived right before I took off for the day. Looking forward to opening it up when I get home and putting it with the rest of those awesome Nicalis releases.
I was playing Heroes quite a bit for a while, to the point that it was taking away from other games. Then I got burned out and stopped and I tried going back once but I just don’t care anymore.
I've been on a bit of a Binding of Isaac kick so my Switch will see the bulk of my free time while I wait for Thursdee and Fire Emblem Warriors to come around next week.
Been waiting for this and it's just about a month out now. It comes at an interesting time right in the middle of Odyssey and Xenoblade so even though I have plenty of other Switch games coming (FE:W, Poi, Sonic, Skyrim, etc) it'll get some priority on arrival since I've held off for so long.
They really don't need to do a lot. Maybe add a couple tabs and expand that new release category. I'd much rather a focus on the home screen interface. I miss organizing titles to my liking. And themes!
Monopoly Gamer is actually a lot of fun. I picked up the collector's edition and all the extra characters on a whim back when it dropped and played with some friends and we enjoyed it. It's not too much like Monopoly at all, more the equivalent to a movie loosely adapted from a book. We have a few house rules we established after playing around and it's a good time. Defs worked out better than I expected because it's not as vanilla Monopoly as I even was expecting.
I've said it before but I'll say it again. The biggest problem isn't Nintendo, the retailers, or the scalpers. They all suck but the worst party is the clowns who pay the scalpers. Their paying ridiculous prices give justification to the scalpers' actions. Now it's an unstoppable situation because too many people just go "Welp, guess I'll just throw away 300 bucks cause it's a cute tiny NES."
Been waiting for the Switch version and have it preordered. I might have given in and got it on PS4 by now if I didn't have it coming at only 16 bucks.
I want them to reimburse me for the soda I threw at the stage cause I'm an angry manchild. I want them to reimburse me for the tea and honey I bought that night cause my throat hurt after yelling and having no soda to keep my throat moist. I want them to reimburse my parents for school expenses such as lunch money, no. 2 pencils, and even the 42 dollars from that time I ate all of my fundraiser candy because I clearly am not putting my education to good use.
That's actually a good piece of news just from a general standpoint. If they just did NBA18 it might seem like they're testing the waters to see if a Switch release is a worthwhile investment, and while adding one more title with WWE18 doesn't necessarily change that it's still good to see they're not letting a single title decide the future of game development for the Switch.
I hope NBA and WWE sell well, I'm considering taking a chance on both. I've never tried the WWE2K games and haven't touched NBA2K since 15, I think.
If you're having trouble finding a Switch at retail and avoiding the inflated prices you may want to settle on never owning a Switch or paying whatever now because if they announce a mainline Pokemon game for Switch tomorrow those inflated prices are gonna blow up or you'll be waiting so much longer for one at reguler price.
Unless they are able to really amp up that production.
Honestly the one thing I want is more information toward the future. I don't expect every detail on every game and every application coming but they don't seem to say much since the Switch stream in January.

Re: These Officially-Licensed Switch Controllers Look Absolutely Stunning
They all have one flaw I can’t get beyond and that’s the character images on the right handle.

Re: Review: RiME (Switch)
Disappointing considering I’ve waited this long for a Switch version to play the game.
But thanks to Amazon muckery I got it preordered for 16 bucks so I will take that and hope a fix comes.
Re: Poll: Which is the Best Super Mario Game?
It’s ridiculous that SMW has that big of a lead over the superior SMB3. You people disappoint me.

All good. Mid November cluster grows and never stops.
Re: Reggie Fils-Aimé Targets an "Extra Nintendo Twist" for the Switch Online Service

I’ll go against you clowns and say I’m ready for them to bring the toppiest of twists to their online next year.

@Anti-Matter
Yes, indeed. Had it preordered at GameStop since I had some credit there and picked it up Tuesday morning.
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th October (North America)
I picked up Poi on Tuesday and have given it a good bit of attention between Fire Emblem and soon Odyssey. Fun game, worth its pricetag.
Re: Nintendo's European eShop Halloween Sale is Now Live
I get a nice chuckle any time people complain about things made cheaper not being made cheap enough.
Re: DOOM Confirmed for Nintendo Switch Launch on 10th November

Re: Feature: The Biggest Nintendo Switch Retail Games of 2017 - Fall / Winter Edition
I've got twelve games coming between now and 01 December for Switch alone. Gonna have plenty to play for a while.
Re: Poll: The Switch eShop is Hot, But Is It Time for an Overhaul of Its User Interface?
They really don't need to do a lot. Maybe add a couple tabs and expand that new release category. I'd much rather a focus on the home screen interface. I miss organizing titles to my liking. And themes!
Re: Stardew Valley Arrives on the Switch eShop This Week
Good news. Haven't played yet cause I wanted it on Switch.
Also stop falling for bad bait, people.
Re: Deals: Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games And Accessories For October And November
Gonna be a spendy couple of months. I expect my library to more than double before November ends and then toss in Xenoblade right when December hits.
I love it.

Well it's good there's a date. Been waiting patiently for this one on Switch because of how cheap I'll get it. Soon enough, I guess.
