@Kayfios Maybe they actually don't like the stuff JonTron said and want to have a statement about it? Why do they have to do it quietly in the night, are YOU stifling FREE SPEECH????
@Alpacalypse Stifling hate speech is a good thing. "Freedom of Speech" is about the government not being able to arrest you for something you said, it doesn't mean you can say whatever you want anywhere without consequence
If they kept the cost of a higher harddrive out by outsourcing it to microsd that works for me since I don't really buy much digitally, but I do think that 32GB is crazily low for a 2017 system that you will be looking to sell things digitally on.
@Dr_Lugae it took Minecraft 4 years to sell 40 million because it costs something over 20 bucks. Mario Run was already downloaded 90 million times. Do you think Candy Crush hasn't had micropurchases from %20 of people downloading it?
@PlywoodStick Trump got elected on a "kicking all the brown people out of the country" platform, so I think worrying about the "SJWs" potentially maybe putting someone in jail in a possible future is still more like paranoia
Awkward situation because I would even kickstart this except I'm worried about a Cease and Desist letter which would make all my money disappear. In this case I'd be buying when it comes out.
The answer is incredibly simple: Nintendo needs to get 3rd party companies to make games for their system.
The idea of just playing the N+1 iteration of a 30 year old franchise is going to leave them with a smaller and smaller userbase until they are completely irrelevant/go third party
@Tops Too many people have said it better for me to add anything, but check out your favorite site for a review, it's basically the best Harvest Moon game since Friends of Mineral Town and maybe ever
In what I'm sure they are dreading, I can't look at a new Harvest Moon game without seeing how staid it is compared to Stardew Valley and how little they are doing to stir things up. Playing as Mario and Peach seems so tepid and done than the new things you can do in Stardew Valley :-/ Feels weird to be jump shippy on a series I've liked for so long.
No need to call it a ripoff when the developer clearly states the influence, especially when this game has been free online for years and will stay so.
I used to play this back on the NES and it's not that bad. Definitely agree there are better games to get on the virtual console, of course, but I'd say this will keep you interested for a bit if you don't mind it being pretty dated.
The Etrian Odyssey series is the best game series yet. I haven't felt as much fandom in a long time, but after being intringued by Jeremy Parish' articles on the game I'm completely in and I can't wait to play this, even though the Europe version of Etrian Odyssey Untold 2 just came out a few weeks ago.
The Etrian Odyssey series is my favorite series currently going. I'm nervous about it being a 3DS release only because I worry about the end of 3DS support and maybe they wouldn't localize it. I hope not!

Re: Playtonic Removes JonTron's Voice from Yooka-Laylee
you can say "there are black people who exactly say" anything if you're not going to provide proof.
JonTron said dumb stuff consequences happen. End of
Re: Playtonic Removes JonTron's Voice from Yooka-Laylee
@Smegmapoo69 I don't think jontron would have said rich black people do more crime than poor white people if he was a "black jew"
Re: Playtonic Removes JonTron's Voice from Yooka-Laylee
This is a good response in a business sense, having JonTron on their game is neutral at best, poisonous to sales at worst.
Ethically it's also good because JonTron has outed himself as a bigoted moron.

Another way to put this is that Zelda is the only game worth buying a Switch for
Re: Random: Would You Trade Your Brand New Nintendo Switch For A Fully-Boxed SNES?
Sure, because I could buy another Switch easily.
Re: Virtual Console Will Not Be Ready For Nintendo Switch Launch
Sort of glad I cancelled my preorder, not that I'm that salty about this, but I do like to know the full picture of a system before I buy it.
Like if any other games are really going to come out in it's first year for instance....

Re: Newzoo Estimates Less Than Five Percent of Users Have Paid For Super Mario Run
@Dr_Lugae it took Minecraft 4 years to sell 40 million because it costs something over 20 bucks. Mario Run was already downloaded 90 million times. Do you think Candy Crush hasn't had micropurchases from %20 of people downloading it?
Re: Newzoo Estimates Less Than Five Percent of Users Have Paid For Super Mario Run
If they priced this game as $3 and got even %20 purchase rate they'd have $54 million and I'm sure the purchase rate would have been higher.
Re: Rumour: Mother 3 Will Be Unveiled for the Switch VC at the Switch Reveal Next Week
This is a cool rumor, the coolest thing about the switch so far as I'll be playing Zelda on my wii u.
Would like to hear more about the games soon so a VC release isn't the coolest thing about a new system.

Re: Nintendo Download: 15th December (Europe)
Might finally dive in on a KEMCO game. They always looked like fun in a pulp-JRPG sort of way but are a bit too high priced for me to randomly grab.
