@Shadowthrone Yeah, what's wrong with a phone? Nintendo doesn't want customers to treat their flagship device as a 2nd screen and not have to pay another cent for software,
This means nothing. Of course Spencer wants to put his xCloud service on other consoles because his company would benefit by doing so, and that also would mean he hopes that Nintendo and other console manufacturers would be willing to take such a risk. No, they would not. xCloud, Game Pass, Xbox Games, none of those things are licensed by Nintendo.
Enough with the Microsoft/Nintendo obsession. It's so unappealing. If you have a smartphone, you can simply use that for the service.
I bought Depixion for $2. It's similar to Picross but there are three parts to the puzzle to give it color (red, yellow and blue variants). Then you have a replay of all 3 parts playing at the same time to make the color puzzle come to life.
@anoyonmus Why not? Sony's been the console leader for the most part since they first entered the market. They see no cross platform play as a benefit to them since that encourages more system and software sales.
Nintendo and Microsoft are more than willing to have cross play while Sony was being stubborn and arrogant as hell on that.
So? You can have cross platform play with PC.
Banjo and Steve in Smash bros thanks to cooperation between the two.
Minecraft is owned by Mojang and they make decisions on their own apart from Microsoft. Banjo happened because Phil Spencer wanted it and Sakurai's took his bait. Wouldn't surprise me if a Banjo sequel is in the works for Series X now.

Really excited for MHS2.

Re: Overwatch 2 Is Removing The Second Tank Slot From PVP Teams
The activity of this game must be dwindling. Removing a tank player though is very upsetting because I main, Rein, Winston, & Wrecking Ball.
Re: More Hints At Samus Aran In Fortnite Emerge, This Time In A Comic
A better celebration of gaming than the celebration of gaming.
Re: Random: Local Council Installs Plant Pots That Look Like Mario Warp Pipes, And Residents Aren't Happy
I agree. They look so out of place.

Re: Here Are The Switch eShop's Best-Selling Games Of April 2021 (Japan)
No Xenoblade Chronicles 2? What a shock that consumers didn't do as "Nintendo" wanted.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Had A Spectacular Year, And May Have Big Plans
Smash Bros. Fans: But Sakurai said Fire Emblem was one of Nintendo's major IPs.
Re: The Epic Vs Apple Lawsuit Might Have Revealed Phil Spencer's Nintendo Secret
@Jokerwolf They are always in competition. They're out to sell people their hardware and software just like the other 2 companies.
Re: The Epic Vs Apple Lawsuit Might Have Revealed Phil Spencer's Nintendo Secret
@Entrr_username Yes, you could. You can decide to buy Xbox games and use the Switch as a dedicated 2nd screen.
Re: The Epic Vs Apple Lawsuit Might Have Revealed Phil Spencer's Nintendo Secret
@Entrr_username So do you think Nintendo introducing this new service where you wouldn't ever have to pay them another cent is a good idea?
Re: The Epic Vs Apple Lawsuit Might Have Revealed Phil Spencer's Nintendo Secret
@kingv84 I didn't know that was a problem. The sales of the Switch state otherwise.
Re: The Epic Vs Apple Lawsuit Might Have Revealed Phil Spencer's Nintendo Secret
@kingv84 That's exactly what I wrote on my YouTube channel community page.
Re: The Epic Vs Apple Lawsuit Might Have Revealed Phil Spencer's Nintendo Secret
@Shadowthrone Yeah, what's wrong with a phone? Nintendo doesn't want customers to treat their flagship device as a 2nd screen and not have to pay another cent for software,
Re: The Epic Vs Apple Lawsuit Might Have Revealed Phil Spencer's Nintendo Secret
@LUIGITORNADO I give this site traffic. Maybe I shouldn't anymore. Is that an okay idea?

Re: Random: Head Of Xbox Phil Spencer Still Has That Nintendo Switch On His Shelf
For what it's worth, Reggie's first console he owned was a Mega Drive/Genesis.
Re: Random: Head Of Xbox Phil Spencer Still Has That Nintendo Switch On His Shelf
What is this website's blatant obsession with Microsoft?
Re: Capcom's Monster Hunter Rise Has Now Sold Six Million Copies Worldwide
Sakurai: And it's all thanks to my precious Mii outfit.
Re: Random: Hey, There's Also A Smash Mod That Keeps Fire Emblem Content And Removes Everything Else
A different character, a different excuse.
Re: Random: Hey, There's Also A Smash Mod That Keeps Fire Emblem Content And Removes Everything Else
@Friendly 8 is a lot. It's also got more music and more spirits than most Nintendo series.
Re: Feature: Why Do Games Get Removed From Switch eShop? It's Surprisingly Easy
"Ratings are both simple and iffy"
What does that mean?
Re: Mini Review: Picross S6 - A Bold New Direction? A Fresh Take? Eat Your Picross, Son
I bought Depixion for $2. It's similar to Picross but there are three parts to the puzzle to give it color (red, yellow and blue variants). Then you have a replay of all 3 parts playing at the same time to make the color puzzle come to life.
Re: Mini Review: Picross S6 - A Bold New Direction? A Fresh Take? Eat Your Picross, Son
I haven't even bought the 5th one.
The music here is bad though. So I'll pass.
Re: Xbox Cloud On Switch? Nintendo Won't Allow It, Says Industry Analyst
Because it's bad for Nintendo's business.
Wow, did an industry analyst really need to be told that?
Re: Random: Updated Diddy Kong Render (With Fur) Spotted On Nintendo's Japanese Website
The only thing I notice is that Diddy's hat and shirt are 2 different colors. But Sakurai made both articles the same color.
Re: Soapbox: 'I'll Play It On Game Pass' Is Becoming Common, But Does That Affect Switch eShop?
@Johnnel Another win for Microsoft.
Re: Soapbox: 'I'll Play It On Game Pass' Is Becoming Common, But Does That Affect Switch eShop?
Should Nintendo have a subscription service for Switch? Sure.
Microsoft's? Hail no.
Re: Rumour: Multiple Parties Reportedly Interested In Buying Square Enix
@anoyonmus Yes. They are S-A-W-F-T.
Re: Multiple Parties Reportedly Interested In Buying Square Enix
@anoyonmus Why not? Sony's been the console leader for the most part since they first entered the market. They see no cross platform play as a benefit to them since that encourages more system and software sales.
Re: Multiple Parties Reportedly Interested In Buying Square Enix
@anoyonmus Oh yes, the typical blanket arguments.
Nintendo and Microsoft are more than willing to have cross play while Sony was being stubborn and arrogant as hell on that.
So? You can have cross platform play with PC.
Banjo and Steve in Smash bros thanks to cooperation between the two.
Minecraft is owned by Mojang and they make decisions on their own apart from Microsoft. Banjo happened because Phil Spencer wanted it and Sakurai's took his bait. Wouldn't surprise me if a Banjo sequel is in the works for Series X now.
Re: Multiple Parties Reportedly Interested In Buying Square Enix
@anoyonmus "Also Xbox and Nintendo are much more cooperative compared to SONY."
They are? Like how?
Re: It Looks Like Labo Is Being Put To Rest As Nintendo Takes Down The Website
No problem. Just put it in Smash Bros. because that's how you sell copies of it...
Re: The Longing Makes You Wait 400 Real-Life Days To See The End, Launching On Switch Today
