Not bad Nintendo. Not bad considering the Switch has been out for less than a year and a half. Now Nintendo just has to keep the momentum with great games!
Nintendo needs some more big IPs to keep new console buyers coming. I am still waiting for a current gen Earthbound, Wave Race, Donkey Kong, Golden Sun, Kid Icarus, Fatal Frame, Advance Wars, Pikmin 4, a new Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles and Super Mario RPG 2.
Makes perfect sense. For a long time Nintendo first party games are the ones I pre-order and know there won't be game breaking glitches. Also, this goes to show why the Platinum Games and Microsoft relationship did not work for Scalebound. Platinum Games wanted that quality and creativity and Microsoft worried more about those timelines and needing a console exclusive.
It's very different. I hope they can deliver. The best option for this game would have been to have some online multiplayer to take things to the next level.
I am glad Splatoon 2 is doing so well. The original Splatoon caused some Wii U shortages when it was released in Japan. The sequel is even more successful.
What he says definitely makes sense. It's a way for the developer to keep a classic game a classic by not ruining the IP with bad sequels. At the same time, I think similar games could be made that take elements from prior games without being a sequel.
That would be cool. I am glad Nintendo was open to this idea. Mario was supposed to be in the first movie but they did not have a good way of adding him to the storyline.

I've really enjoyed this game. Perfect on Switch!
Re: Daemon X Machina Producer Believes A Lot Of Modern Games Look The Same
Without a doubt. Many mainstream games are similar and then the new entries into a series do no innovation whatsoever. It's like cut and paste.

Good to hear it was profitable. I hope it gets them to make another game on Switch!

Metroid Prime 4 will probably be a November 2019 release.
Re: Nintendo Is Considering A Successor To The 3DS According To Its New President
Well, with over 60 million 3DS handhelds sold I do not see why Nintendo should give up that market. An affordable handheld would not be a bad thing.

Re: ToeJam & Earl: Back In The Groove Now Aiming For Fall Release After Initial Delay

Re: PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Creator Drops Lawsuit Against Fortnite
Well, good thing to know PUBG's developer is not salty. Fortnite is the new Call of Duty. Very overrated.

Re: Video: The Unsung Heroes of the Nintendo Switch eShop
@MeatSauce Yes, Oxenfree on Switch has the New Game+ option.
Re: Dead Or Alive 6 Might Come To Switch If Technical Hurdles Are Overcome
This is definitely an excuse. Dead or Alive is a niche game and the reality is niche games sell well on Switch.
Re: Treasure's Masato Maegawa Explains How Developing Sequels Would Be A “Difficult Decision” To Make
What he says definitely makes sense. It's a way for the developer to keep a classic game a classic by not ruining the IP with bad sequels. At the same time, I think similar games could be made that take elements from prior games without being a sequel.
Re: Monster Boy And The Cursed Kingdom Gets Shown Off In Brand New E3 Trailer
Seems like another win for the series.
Re: Rumour: Charles Martinet Will Be Voicing Mario In The Wreck-It Ralph 2 Movie
