@Greatluigi Genki was actually the first ones that identified the reasons for 3rd party docks bricking the Switch hence the creation of their CovertDock. They have a comprehensive write up on that on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/ckaiiv/an_engineers_pov_on_the_3rd_party_dock_switch/

@IchibanKasuga He was just joking based on the email leak.

Capcom usually gets new hardware devkits early. So if they're planning on a new Monster Hunter game there's a chance it may come to the next Switch. Seeing that their A team and B team is non-existent at this point due to the fact even Rise got a PC/Xbox/PS treatment, I would guess they would produce the game for all possible platforms moving forward. And a handheld MonHun is big in Japan. There's still that chance since they usually announcement MonHun games a year or so earlier before release.

I would still temper my expectations though

@Kienda I would argue that the sticks (in the last 20 years or so) still had some form of drift regardless of brand. My PS360, PS4, GCN. Surprisingly, my Wii and Wii U Pro controllers didn't have any drift but my cousins did even their PS5. It's not just Nintendo. Though I only had one instance of drift on my Joy-Con and that was a launch day unit. One round of cleaning and I haven't experienced it since.

I was sooooooo into Splatoon 3. Then life happened and I also moved to a different country. That was last November. I already missed so many Splatfests and other content that I think I'll just drop 3 and wait for 4.

@ModdedInkling Got it

@ModdedInkling The apparent rumor was at Gamescom though not PAX. Or am I missing something here?

@Liam_Doolan Point taken

To be fair, Reggie already stated in countless interviews that they're [already] an entertainment company. Or at least more on entertainment than just video games; competing for customers' time rather than directly competing with hardware power. Bowser is just cementing that fact especially with the launch of their theme park and movie. Not really a surprise here.

@Liam_Doolan I think you need to emphasize the availability of both the wired and wireless models more in the article

This looks awesome! Use the controller or not it certainly adds novelty to your collection. But tbh I wouldn't actually use this controller especially if you also want to use it as display piece.

Bought it on release but didn't have the time to play it yet. Good thing I've waited

It's basically just Fortnite: Soap Season

Emulation will always be a gray area. No matter how noble and "legal" emulation and homebrew is, it can still be used for illegal consumption of games. So I get where Nintendo is coming from and potential risks (piracy) are still factored in the legal system and can be ruled in favor (against).

That said, this still sucks but I wouldn't worry too much. The Deck isn't the only thing Dolphin can run on.

A great way for Japanese immigrants to enjoy the movie in their native language. It's cool Nintendo providing them with that option.

I'll probably try watching it as well with my JP friends especially since Mamoru Miyano is voicing Mario, though I'm not familiar with the other JP voice cast.

@ketrac No, I agree. I am merely stating -a- problem. Not discounting the current issue.

My real concern is for lazy staff who piggybacks on the works of their peers/teammates and still gets credited. I've seen it.

Hopefully a Depp Cut world tour!

I just want a Smash Bros movie.

I'm all in for either a Metroid, a Zelda, heck even a Splatoon movie! And I honestly prefer animated than live action.

Speaking of the movie I've seen it and I was really surprised by Chris Pratt's performance of Mario. He sounded pretty natural, not to mention a phenomenal performance from Charlie Day and Jack Black. I understand people's desire for Charles Martinet to voice Mario but after seeing the movie I'm not too sure if his voice would fit a feature-length film with a lot of talking. That's just me.

@westman98 I never mentioned it actually is for mobile. Even if it is, it's not the end of the world. I only stated that hopefully it's not just for mobile. All things considered this is a good thing if it means Nintendo can up their business that could benefit all.

When the article was first published I had a few laughs as well on why on earth people would assume it's already mobile just because DeNA is involved. Not to mention the disdain they have on the topic.

So I assume this isn't just primarily on their mobile business based on the company description, at least I hope it isn't. Hopefully there's a macro advantage here for Nintendo in terms of both their HW/SW development side. They're mostly emphasizing "entertainment" and "technology" so I'm thinking this isn't just about games either though still focused on digital. This could also be something related to their online infrastructure moving forward.

Bummer. I guess it's another 1 player fighting game for the Switch. I'll pick it up eventually.

No love for Best Buy Canada? Shame. I already pre-ordered from there.

Oh god finally!

Hey, they could. Doesn't really mean they should. And only because they have no choice but to entice regulators. If it weren't for the deal there's no way in hell they'd touch the Switch.

Interesting how he only referenced "Nintendo" and not the Switch specifically.

FWIW it's a 10-year deal so the franchise is bound to come to whatever the next hardware will be.

And I suspect the very first game that will come out of this deal will be on the 10th year /s

To each their own, I guess...

I need ARMs 2

I really had fun with the game. Lots of pretty cool mechanics and competitive potential. The game deserved better.

As much as I want XC3 to win GOTY, the sad thing is unless it's a Final Fantasy game or a Persona game this beloved franchise will never get it's day (or year). But at least they got a nomination so congrats to Monolith for that accomplishment!

I hope their next big game could knock it out of the park.

He basically broke the sport. This is now meta! /s

I really wanted to buy one. But since I already have the digital version when the Bayo 2 port came out it's so hard to justify double dipping just to get a physical copy. Pretty annoying they made it an eShop exclusive back then.

@Nikhogan It was never 100% sure the bug would have been found if they delayed it a few more months. I can understand for offline games but nobody can predict and test every little aspect in online games regardless of genre. There's a reason why a lot of them are still in early access hell not to mention decade old games that are still in service still receiving bug updates.

@Uncle_Franklin Yeah though feature-wise I'm pretty content with it as a sequel. But the modes haven't really changed much so it's pretty easy to just jump to 2 again for some matches.

Can't wait to play Bayo 3! More power to Hale!

Gonna play it day 1 though I hope things get sorted out asap.

I'm sorry for Taylor but I'm playing the game, for the game. I'll mute the audio if I have to just to make a point.

That's something. As much as I understand Taylor's side, she didn't put a lot of thought into her message in terms of the people that could possibly be affected when she asked for a boycott.

@itsclobbintime I buy used games all the time. But that also got me thinking. If no one will buy the brand new ones then there are no used to go around. I'll just stick to my pre-order since I already paid for it. I usually either give it to friends for free or outright sell it off after I'm done playing.

As much as I want to support her, I've honestly anticipated and waited long enough for the game and already pre-ordered it. For me it's too late to back out now. I really want to play it.

That said, I wonder if Nintendo also knew about this. Platinum's messaging was indeed curious and I'm hoping this gets sorted out. I bet they were confident that Taylor wouldn't snitch cuz of the NDA so sucks to be them right now.

From the footage alone it's kinda Speed Racer-ish. And I love that game on the DS! It's one of the very few 'futuristic' racer on the portable.

If in the first place people wasn't quite sure in the trailers if it was Taylor or not voice acting Bayonetta then I think all is good. If we were really keen and adamant on the actual person + her voice for the character and still wasn't sure from the footage then that already says things.

It's apparent that most people either just wants Taylor (biased maybe?) to voice the character (regardless of how she delivers) or just the voice/acting. Cuz I remember in the trailer comments people just assumed and were like "yes, it's hellena taylor omg!!!". Then we get this confirmation...

Nothing "wrong" with it I should say. But I did expect things to change here and there. I mean Sonic, even with the new face and minus the teeth, still looks weird to me but hey it grows on ya.

@hyappatsuhyakuchuu Okay.

Technically I think it's more of a collision detection bug on the bridges. Personally, I think it's easier to fix by fixing the maps rather than adjusting the ink hitboxes to conform to every hanging platform. When colliding with objects, in most cases it should not trigger damage application to players. Phew that was nerdy.

As a Dualies main I did in fact experience the roll bug and quite frequently at that. I always thought I was just pressing things wrong. Good thing they were on top of it.

Cool and all but I wish they also did a SplatNet Shop widget. I don't want to display may losing streak on my homescreen XD.

Better yet, the ability to add homescreen shortcuts of SplatNet features. It's a lot of taps just to get to the page you want.

For a hack n' slash from D3 this looks pretty good animation-wise. Pretty fluid. I'll keep an eye out.

@PigmaskFan TBF depending on the weapon, you need to focus on protecting the collected eggs rather you yourself jump in and get them or else you're the one who's gonna get roasted by your teammates. It's a tricky situation since if none of your mates are collecting then it's up to you even if your weapon is a splat charger.

I hope Harada invites Sakurai again for a casual interview on his channel. Those were really fun to watch and listen!

A shame they're wording this as the final one for Ryza. Every iteration in the Atelier series deserved more than 3 IMO. But hey, hopefully the finale is worth it! I really enjoyed the first two.

Another Fatal Frame game Nintendo is willing to share. Cheers to more multi-plat games!

I think it was never officially called "Breath of the Wild 2"
