Whoever thinks that Nintendo investors are some corporate nutjobs that only care about graphs is fooling themselves so badly... That or is too young to understand investors. You don't get to become an investor of Nintendo if you are not passionate about gaming.
@thatawesomedude It sends the wrong message in terms of marketing, shows uncertainty about the concept and it just dilutes the brand. I do not see it happening at all. A Pro version, like suggested, is a far better decision by the company.
No, detachable controllers are not happening. It's like taking out the touchscreen on one of the 3DS iterations. Not happening. It is crucial to a lot of games to have motion controls, and the whole concept of the "multiplayability" with the Switch is that you can share a controller. Not happening at all.
Me and my buddy pre-purchased it and there were only 3 copies that arrived that day. For pre-orders... Not pre-purchases. Cancelled the pre-purchase, asked for a refund and went to buy the last 2 copies in a different city. Damn!
So Switch Top selling console and no Switch Exclusive Game in the best selling of the year? Only NBA and NFL (ports) ? And hell, Red Dead is a great franchise but it is nowhere near as popular as COD and Battlefield...
I am a Gundam enthusiast and that MASS game took heavy inspiration in gundam for their designs. Looks really like a gundam in a game. Having said that I couldn't be more excited to play it. On the Indiegogo campaign, the steam keys arrive in March 2019, so maybe summer 2019 comes to Switch.
@NEStalgia Trust me, no one is actually amazing at these games! I LOVE them yet I follow some guides the moment I get stuck, because I know myself... I will drop it if I get stuck for far too long, but I also know that I love the stories, the development of the narratives, characters etc. I love the Blackwell series, yet I had to use, for a lot of them, some pointers! Don't get put down by the feeling that you are cheating!
I think that NintendoLife dropped the ball on this one. If this was not NBA 2k18 and 2K we were talking about, they would've slammed it with a 2 or 3.
Given it's who it is, they are just not giving a score so that everyone can buy it, and later on give it a proper review chance... The entire grinding and VC barrier cannot be changed with a patch.
Guys this game is crazy good. Seriously don't be put down by this score. If you like strategy, tower defense and beautiful artwork and soundtrack... This game is a no brainer!
@PtM It's a great movie you should watch. All of the references to a day repeating itself over and over until something happens, usually reference The Groundhog day.
@FragRed @Shufty What you guys are saying is real, but to me as a consumer, as a person who wants to play, all those facts don't matter because at the end of the day, I want to play and not wait. And what you are saying, basically, is "Please understand".
Well, I do. So until the devs, maybe later on in the Switch lifecycle, start to release simultaneously as other platforms, or at least with a really small timeframe of release, I will be getting my indies and non exclusives on other platforms where they are readily available, if I have the itch to play them... And that saddens me.
It's these kind of things that get me rattled on the Switch. Why eventually port it instead of simultaneously release it? I've been wanting to play it since it's launch, and I am probably buying it very soon... I would love it on the switch but I cba to be waiting for "an eventual release date". Same happens with a ton of games that are being announced that will eventually release. They could sell a ton more if the devs could keep the pace with releases, and capitalize on the still not crowded eshop. Maybe Nintendo holds them back too, becasue of their new eshop policies bleh...
@Moms-Meowth I am reviewing this game right now and I have the same oppinion as this review. Has nothing to do with the Zelda branding... The game plays REALLY stiff, animations are not very good, bad actually. Looks like a very unpolished game, released before gametesting. Has a lot of issues, it's repetitive nature, certain gameplay aspects are just thrown in for the sakes of it, lots of items just appear, and the objectives are not really clearly conveyed.
Game is gorgeous, sounds really great but that's about it, imho...
I hate to break it to everyone that is optimistic but... This could pottentially be very dangerous to the deal that Nintendo is selling to developers. Meaning that their market would suffer. Most of the indies that are ported to the switch I already own. The games that I do not own, I can buy a lot cheaper on steam, stream them, and dry the cashflow off the Switch shop. Discouraging developers to actually develop games for the system...
@-Green- Yeah but most of them are 260 emotional teenagers or the kind, that gave 0's actually. Some of them are giving without reasoning, others for the sakes of being hipsters, and others simly because. There is almost none mediocre rating. That means it brings down the big number of praise ratings. read into them.
