Re: Feature: Five Reasons You Should Play Zelda: Breath of the Wild's DLC Pack 2

Its the disappointment of not getting what you expected. Totally my mistake as nintendo barely explained what its gonna be - so I mistakenly expected something bigger - actually like a whole new story that takes place in botw's hyrule - some new original story content, guess we could argue about semantics here.
In the end its a lesson for me never to fall for these kind of dlc baits. Mario rabbids does the same - they ask you for 20 bucks, deliver some minor content first with a promise of bigger content with more story lateron. And it makes sense you think, they just released the game so it will take some time for them to create something bigger. Or xenoblade with 30 bucks asking price. So I will rather wait and see from now on.

Not really complaining about those 20 bucks - but I believe if I had known what the whole package would be I would have bought it much later - maybe even waited for a discount as I do not consider killer must-have content. And thats my minor gripe with it. Its certainly not the dlc-of-the-year.

Re: FIFA 18 on Nintendo Switch Accounts for a Tiny Percentage of UK Launch Sales

Truth be told, Nintendo Switch is a different console and nintendo fans are different gamers. I only buy nintendo consoles and mostly first party games. If I ever wanted to play fifa I would have bought a sony or ms console. Totally not interested in the game. In order to make an impact on the switch companies need to focus on exclusives. Kingdom Battle was a nice surprise for me. First Ubi Soft game in my collection in over 10 years

Re: Editorial: Is This a Golden Era of Gaming? Absolutely

Not sure I would call it the golden era but it definitely has its pros but also its cons. I dont necessarily like the commercial aspect of gaming and how it has shaped games of today. Be that as it may, each generation brings something new and intetesting but I am getting older and spend less and less time with gaming although I buy much more games than when I was young and spent more time with it, hmmm I should think about that.
Sometimes I am under the impression that there is simply too much of everything and choice and priority have become difficult to decide. Maybe thats why I simply go with nintendo.

Re: Metroid Prime Trilogy and Majora's Mask Included in Latest European My Nintendo Rewards

I dont really know what to think about nintendo discounts or special offers. I mean its cool that they believe their aged products are premium and deserve premium treatment - thats part of what makes em special (other games that old can be bought for dirt cheap in a package with othet games).
But personally I think they dont have a real sense of honor. Prime trilogy released with a 50% discount. Along the way it was offered as a bargain with 50% off. Thats when I bought it, even though I own the disc version. But giving a discount of 30% in exchange for gold points? I think thats a little bit insolent. I mean u dont have to take em up on their offer, its up to you but imo its the wrong signal if u do.

Re: Review: Hey! Pikmin (3DS)

I cancelled my preorder today. I dont want to invest in a mediocre game even though I like pikmin, that might send the wrong signal to nintendo. In fact I cancelled my whole order which comprised of splatoon 2 and ever oasis. I think I need to start prioritize game purchases and wait for price drops of certain games. Next purchase will comprise of splatoon 2, metroid 2, superstar saga, kingdom battle (if its any good) and mario odyssey
