@joey302 @Exy The 17 games previewed in the Nindies Showcase back in February, with released games in bold type...
SteamWorld Dig 2
Yooka-Laylee Overcooked: Special Edition
The Escapists 2 GoNNER
Dandara
Kingdom: Two Crowns
Runner3 Blaster Master Zero
Flipping Death Graceful Explosion Machine Mr. Shifty Tumbleseed
Shakedown: Hawaii
Pocket Rumble
WarGroove
Stardew Valley
Pronounced "Sheffy" as in the English city of Sheffield (or at least that's what Google Translate gives when I try to write it in after a few Guinneses!)
And I thought the Codies were one of the main third-party developers from that infographic back in January...
Takes me back to 2002 when they announced they were developing for the GameCube, then cancelled all GC games in development a few months later, and the only GC game they ever released was Free Radical Design's "Second Sight" in 2004.
Andrew Hewson, Rob's dad and founder of Hewson Consultants and UKIE, also co-founded 21st Century Entertainment, publishers of Digital Illusions' seminal pinball titles on Amiga and PC (Pinball Dreams, Pinball Fantasies and Pinball Illusions).
Does anyone else think the drastic lowering of the Switch goal has harmed the game's chances of making its target? Or is it fair to say those of use who used to enjoy playing these games in the past have moved on to other genres?
23 days to go, 2,365 backers, only £122,462 raised of its £855,000 initial goal (about £1.17 million for the game to reach the revised Switch goal)
@SLIGEACH_EIRE The reason that GTA has never appeared on a Nintendo console is because Nintendo screwed DMA Design over the N64 game Body Harvest, wanting them to change the game into an RPG before cancelling it altogether, leaving DMA to almost go bankrupt before being bought by Gremlin, saving the game AND the company (although GTA was published by BMG Interactive, who were later bought out by Take 2, who then bought DMA from Infogrames who had bought Gremlin in 1999, moved the company down the M90 from Dundee to Edinburgh in 2000, and rebranded them in 2002 as Rockstar North) In this case, it's apparent that old wounds just won't heal.
What are Nintendo playing at? They need a "299" moment (something to wow the consumer and gain support from major publishers), not an "It's out there" moment (something that will only confuse and alienate consumers and publishers alike - look up the first E3 of 1995 and the Saturn vs PlayStation press conferences)

However I fear the Welsh might be giving this one a wide berth, lest the stereotype take hold!

Anyway, I'm sure the Switch owners will flock to it... #sheeppuns

Re: Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle Has Been Rated in Brazil
@setezerocinco It sounds more like it's going to be a tactical shooter. Not your typical Mario game is it? 😉

Re: Here Are The Players Lining Up For NBA Playgrounds On Switch
@Shiryu And that game came from Delphine Software, the studio behind Another World, Flashback and Fade to Black!
Just goes to show that fighting games just weren't their forte.
