@IronMan30 "Goes to show you that judging a game at launch as if it will always be in that state and comparing it to a feature complete game that also got updates is a bad idea." Reviews would be essentially pointless if you have to judge games based on the potential of future DLC, especially for a game that never got future updates promised in advance (like MKW). If Nintendo didn't think MKW was a complete package at launch they wouldn't have released it in that state
Why did it get copyright striked by Sony? Like, it's a very obvious copy of TLOU, but there doesn't seem to be anything it outright stole from Sony, so what's the deal?
@Rika_Yoshitake For the 1millionth time, Emulation does not equal piracy. You can emulate games you bought legitimately by dumping it from a game card. And it is preservation because good luck playing digital only games like Kirbys dream buffet one the eshop inevitably shuts down
@Mauzuri The Pokémon fan base is so large at this point that it is literally impossible to please everyone. I don't really see what there is to be 'grateful' for, yes, new Pokémon games are nice, but they are made because they make money, not out of kindness

@Davzilla isnt that just Pokkén Tournament?
Re: Talking Point: Would A Third Wave Of Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC Have Been Too Much?
Adding even more characters sounds like a nightmare for power balancing though.

@solarwolf07 the games themselves are the same across platforms, though I've found it easier to draw straight lines with the switch joycons

Re: Bandai Namco Releases Switch Demo For Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival
@felix330
I wonder why in 2022 are games releasing so much later in Europe? Like, there's no physical copies to ship?
Re: Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope Won't Include Multiplayer
A bit of a shame. I hope the single player mode makes up for it.

Re: Kirby's Dream Buffet Rolls Out Worldwide Release Date
@gaga64
i think VAT accounts for some of that. Though the game seems quite more expensive in the US as well, i wonder why?

You claim the pikachu by in-game mystery gift, it's not a pre order bonus per se

Re: New Trailer Gives Us A Better Look At Mario Kart Tour's New Track, Singapore Speedway
@Hero-of-WiiU
Wii U games for example may be last gen but they will always be playable on original hardware and on emulators.
Games like Miitomo and Pokémon Duel are permanently unplayable, and unfortunately they set the precedent for Nintendo shutting down unprofitable games
