@The_Nintendo_Expat Dude I'm only trying to explain why they probably focused more on the multiplayer then they did single player. I didn't realize stating facts was "making excuses" for them. I wasn't even planning on buying this game right now anyways and will wait for a sale
@The_Nintendo_Expat Camelot has an extremely small team of about 40 employees. I assume that's why they decided to prioritize multi player over single player
@TitanSix They have Mario Tennis Fever, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave, Pokeopia and (if the leaks are accurate) Pokemon Gen 10 for this year, alongside Splatoon Raiders most likely. I think Mario Wonder is the only other upcoming Switch 2 Editiom for the time being (and let's be realistic, I don't think there's a whole lot of other games they could do a Switch 2 Edition of outside of Smash Ultimate, Three Houses and the Xenoblade games)
@PessitheMystic
I mentioned Reggie because people seem to have rose tinted glasses when it comes to the guy. He was a good CEO but people have come to the conclusion that he cared more about the fans than Bowser when in reality both had profits as their priority. Not to mention how fans had to petition him to get Xenoblade, Pandora's Tower and The Last Story released in America.
@PessitheMystic How is Bowser any different from Reggie besides the latter being more out there and memed to death? Reggie was still a CEO concerned with profit over everything else no matter how hard some fans want to act as though Reggie was their friend who looked put for them
What's the definition of "struggling" by the way? The console still seems to be doing fine in the U.S. and Europe, even if it's not the same heights as Japan atm. I'm sure the next Pokemon will absolutely move systems
@Jhena He's also lied about Nintendo bricking consoles, came up with an insane conspiracy theory about Nintendo using the Pikmin short to force people to get the Nintendo Today app and lock all news behind it so people couldn't leave negative reactions, and when pressed about keeping in an incorrect fact regarding Nintendo disabling comments he said he kept it in because he liked people obsessing over it.
I'm not giving him the benefit of the doubt, especially when he name called shady ass Youtubers like LordFrogamire and FritangaPlays
@Jhena He's acts smug and condescending to anyone who disagrees with him about the Switch 2 being a failure, and made light of that horrible ICE video earlier this year
@Jhena You mean the weirdo who's utterly obsessed with Nintendo and who went to the midnight launch to watch how many people were in line to prove that the system was a failure?
Kirby Air Riders not being in the top 10 actually makes me genuiely frustrated and angry. The game is incredible, packed full of content, and Sakurai put a lot of love into it while also not locking anything online and not having any DLC. Yet gamers decided to reward Sonic Racing Crossoworlds instead, which while good has less content, is the same price as Air Riders, has pre-order DLC nonsensd and a season pass DLC announced before the game released
@SillyG By the time the DLC is released it'll have been almost two months since the game launched. If you don't like the DLC and think it's not worth the amount being charged thar's fine, but I'm a little tired of people on this site just yelling about it being cut content without any evidence other than the release date of the DLC
@Pillowpants @CupidStunt You all have any proof this was post game content cut and resold as DLC? By your logic the Master Trials DLC for Breath of the Wild is also cut content and that was released three months after BOTW
@OFFICIALMichi I think Nintendo is expecting most people to just buy the $5 upgrade and not pay full price for thr Switch 2 version unless they never bought it on Switch 1
@EarthboundBenjy Wasn't Emerald Rush in Bananza made by a seperate team? Also how do you know it wasn't developed after the main game was done considering DK Isles doesn't have any bananas and Ignot Isle has the post game bananas and Boss Rush like Mario Odyssey?
@YunoboCo Ignot Isle IS Mushroom Kingdom. It's where the post game bananas are and where the boss rush is like in Odyssey. Also there's more going on it Emerald Rush than the balloon mode
@UltimateOtaku91 Yeah they would have released this game with nothing with it and slowly drip feed free updates over time like thr mario sports games, arms, splatoon and new horizons
@PharoneTheGnome
because the dlc was developed after the main game was done? i think it should have been $10 but do you think ever dlc made should be free?
Also lmao at you thinking nintendo like is ea - i'm not seeing nintendo push loot boxes or shutting down studios

All of those games you listed were on weaker hardware and probably took less manpower and money to develop for then the Switch 2

Again that Master Trial DLC for BOTW released only three months after the game launched. Do you think that stuff was cut content?

Re: Round Up: The Latest Previews Are In For Pokémon Legends: Z-A
@Yoshi3
1. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 DLC was announced November 2017, not June
https://nintendoeverything.com/xenoblade-chronicles-2-expansion-pass-announced/
2. Pirahna Plant was free for only a few months. After that it was $5.00.
3. The BOTW DLC was announced in February 2017, not May 2017
https://www.svg.com/41902/legend-zelda-breath-wild-dlc-revealed/
4. Considering how people are complaining about the size of DK Isles and how there's no bananas or fossils I believe it was done a few months after launch
Re: Round Up: The Latest Previews Are In For Pokémon Legends: Z-A
@SillyG
You do know they announced DLC for BOTW, Xenoblade 2 Fire Emblem Three Houses and Smash Ultimate before they released right?
Nintendo fans are miserable

Re: Review: Donkey Kong Bananza: DK Island & Emerald Rush (Switch 2) - DLC That's Ripe With Fun, But Could've Been More

Ignot Isle IS Mushroom Kingdom. It's where the post game bananas are and where the boss rush is like in Odyssey. Also there's more going on it Emerald Rush than the balloon mode
