@Lionyone I just said that it is unavailable, not that he do not want it, and I was being sarcastic. It is obvious that there are a bunch o competitor hardware inside those companies since day one (or even before, you know, industrial spying is a thing). And I am referring to every big company in this business (MS, Sony, Nintendo, Amazon, Google, and so on).
@Lionyone Phil Spencer can't, as Sony released the PS5 but forgot to produce it (or at least forgot that their stuff is made of parts, and those parts had to be ordered).
@RupeeClock everything you said plus the shiny rates being waaaay better for paying players.
I never spent a cent on this game until the mew event earlier this year. Out of 62 shiny that I have, only 8 I got before I spent real money, and I play since release (there was no shiny pkm early on but my point still applies)
@Sandro89 why spoofing is bad for you? The worst that is going to happen to you is earn some free lures on pokestop on your region.
Banning innocent players on other hand, is indeed a huge problem. As much as shiny locking (or at least make harder to get shiny) not paying players, witch they do.
I accidentally updated this morning, and, as I am atmosphere user, I thought that I was banned. I entered on support page and thankfully I saw there the maintenance notice.
@cleveland124 well written, but this text of yours is more speculative than fact based. I consider it a good fictional text based on a real life even, just like Analogue excuses.
@MatoFilipovic I think this game is indeed going away. That's Nintendo, and they do this kind of stuff. They discontinued NES and SNES mini when they were still selling a lot. If we go back more, they never sold GBA on 3DS, even that they got the roms ready (that ambassador program). They let a mountain of money go away and didn't care.
Without Mario 35 the NSO will become less appealing, but they just don't care. (and if they do, they can just press a button e fill the service with value from their back catalog).
I know it is all a matter of subject opinion, but looking at this list made me have a subjective opinion that this journalist has to play the snes a lot more.
Kid Icarus is awful. It's a boring on-rails shooter with a girl talking A LOT. When yoy get rid of the girl, other girl take her place. You can disable the voices only after you beat that crappy shooter.
I've been playing this update on pc, and I can't recommend enough. It was by far the best update yet. It is like the game had doubled it size (except dialogues, that are bigger now but not much).
@Lionyone I never played sea of thieves, so can't give my opinion but it is bellow 70 on metacritic, while perfect dark, 007, banjo kazooie, conker and dk64 are all above 90. Not that I am telling that metacritic is beyond mistakes, but it is an indicative of decline in quality and productivity.
@Pikachi9000 if it is shiny on home it is shiny on Sword/shield... Legit, cloned hacked, from gen 3, gen 7 or cell phone, if it is shiny there, it keeps shiny
@mariomaster96 it is easy indeed. The process to get a shiny legendary is just the same as regular for raid dens. Sometimes they made them uncatchable, but that's all.
@mariomaster96 I'm guessing that it will be like ultra space wilds. Once you found one, you can't find anymore. Now what will happen if you join a friend adventure after getting the legendary she/he is hosting I can't even guess. Currently they give poor catch rates for friends and 100% catch rates for the host (Except promo dens).
Also I don't think it will be any shiny lock. I may be wrong but they clearly don't care anymore at this point. Just look how easy is to get shiny dens today, and they did nothing about it.
@Rhaoulos yes, anyone can release a book, magazine, video, etc filled with Nintendo logos and assets as long as the purpose is information, be a guide or a criticism.
As examples, Mcdonald's and the Sea World have some very critical material available for years now on streaming platforms, with their logos all around, and the videos are still available.
But products without informative purposes are banned. You can't sell unauthorized pikachu toys for example.
@Kalmaro you don't need motion controls on handheld mode, as in this mode the tablet unit is the one that deals with the motion (even with regular joycons)
@EmirParkreiner just guessing here, but maybe it drifts in game only, then throw the boost in real life.
Anyway, if you think about it, it will be the most realistic physics for a racing video game ever, because it indeed use the real world physics. I think it is insane.
@JohnnyC Mario Kart 8 is awesome. The 2 players split screen is awesome, but with 3 or 4 players on same screen, the frame rates are so low that you better off playing a slide show. It is disgusting.
But... Mario Kart cellphone edition manage to be even worse.
@Agriculture that's 100% wrong. There are fiscal benefits to who produced goods inside our borders, but imported goods are not forbidden at all. This import ban was real in the past but it was 30 years ago.
@Yanina for me Stardew Valley opened a door that should be never be closed again. Lose half of possibilities just because you choose a gender on game's first screen makes no sense.
@beazlen1 I don't believe that galaxy 2 is included by any means, they would announced otherwise. When Nintendo made Star Fox 2 unlockable, they advertised a lot about it. So don't expect Galaxy 2 before March and consider that it may never come to Switch.
@MaxlRoseGNR if there were a hidden game we should know by now. Pirates have this game at least since Saturday, so nothing this big would go unnoticed for more than a couple of hours.

Re: Nintendo Will Attend Brazil’s Independent Game Festival, Latin America's Biggest Games Event
Expect SNES inspired games. That's our style.
Re: Pokémon HOME June Update Will End Compatibility With Select Smartphones
The app is cluncky, with an awful interface. For what it does, anything capable of managing lists should work.
This badly optimized app raise concerns about how good the gen 4 remakes will be, as the same developer is involved.
Re: Hands On: The EverDrive GBA X5 Mini Solves The Only Real Issue We Had With The Original
@The_Trooper49 the $10 iron is enough for this extremely easy job. It is really that easy, you should try even if you never done this before.
You don't even need flux, or good alloy for that job (but use those if you can for every soldering job).
A quick ali express search of the term "gba snes shell" will show you a product that feature the same shell and screen from the Damien's GBA.

Re: Hands On: The EverDrive GBA X5 Mini Solves The Only Real Issue We Had With The Original
@The_Trooper49 the case and the screen cover you find easily on Ali Express.
The IPS screen is available everywhere, it is super easy to swap screens on GBA.
The battery kit he used is the clean juice, witch is a waste, as you can assemble a battery kit yourself with more capacity and costing way less
Re: It Appears Pokémon GO Is Falsely Banning iPhone Users Again
@NateM94 you want a evenly playfield but you use your credit card... nice!
Pay to win is super fair.
Re: The EverDrive GBA X5 Mini Solves The Only Real Issue We Had With The Original
still bigger than Ez Flash Omega (wich fits on DS slot if you will to). Still cost more as well.

Re: To The Rescue Is A Cuddly Dog Shelter Sim That Supports Real Dog Shelters
You pay 20, play the game and 4 or less go to dog shelters...
or, you give 10 to a shelter and spend 10 on a better game...

Re: Hell Yes! DOOM And DOOM II Just Got Another Add-On, And It's Out Today

Re: Legendary Pokémon Found In Sword And Shield's Crown Tundra DLC Have A 100% Catch Rate
If they don't fix the super exploitable RNG for raids it will no be appealing getting a shiny or a really strong monster.

Re: Random: Someone Made A Manual For Super Mario 3D All-Stars And You Can Buy It Right Now
@fusermarucs guide books are 100% legal in my region. It is considered journalism, that's why unofficial game magazines may exist.
So it's not immoral nor forbidden worldwide

Awesome toy for kids!!! On side note, It will be the first Mario Kart game where you can't drift.
