@Wexter I doubt they'd be allowed to discuss it and as I'm based in a different state to Nintendo, probably nothing to do with the office I work with. I will say, hiring and firing and disciplinary decisions rest with us so IF something went down then it would fall on the big N. Of course, that's a big IF and I'll leave that to the courts.
Interesting, wish there were more details as I do have temps from that agency working under me. Their reps always seem to want to do everything by the book...
I was watching the trailer to see what all the fuss was and my internal monolog was like "Looks normal. Seems pretty standard to me. Not that risqué. Nearly over now and WOAH WTH?"
Jeez, I only bought this for my son last month. He came running up to me in shock this morning when he got the message on his 2ds about the eshop closing. This does seem like a really inappropriate thing to do in the digital age. Not so much with the Wii because only a tiny minority ever downloaded games, but Wii U/3DS were the serious beginning of downloading.
It's not just that they use British accents that blows my mind. It's that they sometimed use regional accents rather than the generic drama school/newsreader voice that most non-UK people think is an English accent. That's the really rare part.
@Paraka I have a very successful career with a well paid job and one of the perks is spending my hard earned wages on some Marijuana which is legal in my state. Now if my staff came in baked I would obviously throw the book at them but some of my best performers enjoy some weed in their downtime.
I remember somehow getting invited to a launch party for it in a Manchester nightclub. GameCubes everywhere. We were all intrigued by PikMin but without an instruction booklet, it was a total mystery and the lovely PR girls didn't know either
@PBandSmelly there isn't any drama. He seems to be a fairly nice person. It's just that both his music and persona strongly alienate a sizeable amount of the population.
I really don't understand the upgrade fee. I paid $35 about a month ago for my renewal. The new service is $80 so I'd expect to be charged less than $45 buy they're trying to charge me $49.99 plus taxes.
Most of us succeful adults have been there. Only this year, I bailed on a workplace that had developed a toxic culture. People speaking out are trying to do these companies a favor and stop them losing talent. If you can't keep the talent, especially the talent you trained and invested in, then your days are numbered.
It IS an amazing game BUT I don't understand why you would get this much more expensive version when it's cheaper on your phone and the game pretends to be a phone interface anyway?
I do enjoy Chibnall's run but I totally respect and understand those who don't enjoy the writing as much.
Would you believe it's actually good? Played it on my tablet. Could see this being good on handheld if it supports vertical view, otherwise avoid and play on smart devices
Oh wow, that's a little melancholy. I remember my first few months of commuting with my 3ds and getting just 1 streetpass (I got one day one and lived in Yorkshire) but then it started to pick up and as for trips to places like Paris and London, used to take regular Streetpass breaks to process them all. The highlight was getting Japanese tourists in the Louvre
Well, anything has to beat the horror of "Destiny of the Doctors" - shudder. Seriously, though, I did enjoy the VR game on PS4 and the found phone game was actually genuinely wonderful. So, I have cautious hopes for this one.
@ralphdibny Well, the SMT games are all RPGs based around fighting and recruiting gods and devils during a Tokyo supernatural apocalypse so I think the only link to "If..." is the school setting
@ralphdibny just noticed the title screen has the 'Shin Megami Tensi' bit in Japanese but 'if' is written in English and is even written as 'if...' like the film poster so DEFINITELY not a coincidence

Re: Nintendo Has Added Paper Mario 64 To Switch Online's Expansion Pack
Great game, for sure, but I already bought it on the Wii. It's still there in my Wii U. So this is a big fat zero for me. Come on, Nintendo
