Had an amazing year reading NL articles, it feels like so long ago when Tom left the Editing position.
So far the only review I disliked was the Senran Kagura one Everything else was fantastic as always be it the Smash review, or the speed of how the news went out, everything.
Here's to another fun year with the Switch and NLife!
Played Brawlhalla on Steam with the Pro Controller with my other Steam friends, it was very comfortable and definitely a step above the keyboard controls
Persona 5 on the go (on a relevant console)? A day one purchase goes without saying!
Oh and that video with Sakurai is the cutest thing I've seen all week
I mean if it's a complete overhaul (maybe in a few months) and they rename/relaunch it I wouldn't have a problem, the current eShop can have a change really.
But if it's just a name change as this entails then this is a horrible decision. eShop is a perfect name we're used to saying for a long time, suddenly shifting to "Nintendo Switch Online Shop" would cause more trouble and confusion, along with not make it memorable.
@SCAssassin I did, and I don't see any statement from Nintendo meaning everything is a guess. From what these analysts are predciting to both my and your analyses.
When there's no information people can't do anything but guess what will happen, similar to what happened with the Switch when it was the NX, but the difference being the Switch is available everywhere along with it's software too while NintendoMobile's games aren't because ???
@SCAssassin Yep, they're just trying to pass it off as an excuse even though they know what can be done to boost FEH sales, or maybe they still are fools enough to not know how to gauge and remarket products to continue the flow of sales by tapping into markets they haven't yet set foot on.
@dumdum Yup! And I guess Sakurai knows that too, which is why he doesn't let those people's squawking get to him since there's a larger majority silently waiting for his best content
@Medic_alert I have but even if I am a fan of Animal Crossing I doubt it can be as much of a sales pusher like how Splatoon, MK8D and all were in 2017.
But in the end, 2019 didn't start yet so we may get a direct in Jan or Feb that reveals everything for next year so I hope we see a lot by then.
@JJ286 Too early to tell but honestly topping 2017 won't be an easy feat at all. Would love to see them try, 2018's first half was kinda empty for me so amaze me Ninty
My 200GB card is 7GB away from being full but I'm not rushing it since I'll probably not be buying any games till E3 2019 and I've got Smash with me so I'll continue to wait till then.
We don't deserve Sakurai. Especially those fools who harass his Twitter feed just coz a Maro side character or some old rpg character didn't make it. People need to grow up and be grateful we're getting so much content.
As for the majority of the Smash community, we're all itching for December 7
@ThomasS @BladedKnight Go ahead and misinterpret it then. The first statement is obviously a jab at Sony but by no means did I suggest that companies will leave Sony to completely work with Nintendo coz that's clearly ridiculous. There's a difference between a jab and plain fanboying. I don't hate the PS4 in the first place XD
@ThomasS You seem quite jumpy. I never said they'll drop support for PS4 but instead flock to the Switch (as in they'll also port games for Switch as well which could possibly mean less exclusives for PS4). They'd be crazy if they actually went all in on the Switch and left the PS4 platform lol. Chill before you call others fanboys or at least ask em to explain their stance lol.
@Liam_Doolan "This game is controlled entirely by the touchscreen and was the first Switch release that could only be played in handheld mode."
There was an update earlier this year which let you play VOEZ through the JoyCon controls as well and on TV mode too. Please update the article accordingly.

Re: Fire Emblem Heroes Experiences Decline In Player Spending During The Month Of November
@SCAssassin There is a reason this article was posted.
Re: Fire Emblem Heroes Experiences Decline In Player Spending During The Month Of November
@SCAssassin Highly doubt there are 44 countries in the world, that's not even half.
Re: Fire Emblem Heroes Experiences Decline In Player Spending During The Month Of November
I guess this is the time to start expanding FEH into other regions of the world but whatever, let the game die if Nintendo wants it to.

Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Faces Massive Online Data Dump
@ClampedDownHard Guess the only solution would be to wait for the Switch Pro then, but that won't be until 2020 I bet

@countzero It would solve tons of problems though with one hitch being the one as you said, I believe it's worth the step

Re: Nintendo's Share Price Hit By Largest Drop In Two Years After Nvidia Shares Crash
If I remember right Ninty's share prices soared a little when the Bowsette meme took on.
In other words: No one cares. Their share prices will soar again on December 7 so whatever.
