i like it, even though i never played the game.

@Tsusasi They get money for using their IP. It's the same as a company opening up a theme park using Nintendo IP without their permission.

@LuciferOnReddit not a boring design, the demon on the left is the same one on the health globe and the angel on the right is the one on the mana globe, the globes are popular elements of the franchise's UI. the problem with this is they should have had a dark red joycon on the left and a dark blue on the right to match it.

@BladedKnight that's the worst part about the labo part, it takes up too much space so i wont be buying any more of them.

@andywitmyer Wii U was the worst imo with the jaggedness.

there should be a choice for both like Xbox does it.

@Emperor-Palpsy well said and this applies to any mature content whether it is in books, movies or games, it’s just that a lot of kids would rather play a game than read a book and games hook kids so they do the activity for longer than reading a book or watching a movie. I don’t see how people don’t think there is any issue with it. I think mature games are meant for adults. I remember as a kid I played and watched and read anything I wanted and I can admit my imagination was more violent and dark, things I drew were gruesome, I think people don’t want to admit that but that was definitely because I would be consuming this kind of stuff. Did it mean I would be violent? Not at all, but there was definitely a difficulty in doing things I didn't want to but should be, does it mean we should get rid of it? No, I enjoyed it as a kid but it should have been more regulated or limited in time. Nowadays I dont take a lot of that stuff as seriously, but kids think all this stuff is such a big deal.

Its not nonsense but it is not limited to games. Anything that expands the imagination into violence will promote violent thoughts and behavior. It is way more likely to affect children because they are just discovering their imagination and their feelings are strongly attached to that and they can imagine themselves in those situations, while most adults understand the clear difference between reality and imagination and know don't associate themselves with it. Does it mean the kids are going to be violent? Not really but they may get frustrated more easily.

You know what is a different kind of fun I’ve forgotten about? 100%-ing games. I’m now going back to games I played/beat and seeing if there are things left to do or if I can get something new out of another play through. People blast achievements and trophies but they add a lot of replay value and getting some achievements is just so ridiculous that it is maddening fun, like trying to boost in a multiplayer mode nobody plays, beating something under a certain time or without dying. It’s what we did as kids but now we think we got everything out of a game because we played it or beat it, not true. Also this year I only buy one new game a month (New Years resolution) and I enjoy it until next month, it’s been working out well and I really get to sink into a game and enjoy it, I haven’t regretted any purchases yet even though I bought some unpopular games.

@link3710 have you looked at the footage? VGA is for mainstream audience more than core gamers, to market your number 1 game coming to your console as an anime style top down turn based strategy game would be a bad idea. I’m sure they will show some footage for it but I don’t think it can be their main attraction at that show.

@link3710 Those are good games but to show Fire Emblem or Daemon X Machina as your big game at the VGA wouldn't be a good look for Nintendo. They will like have a small session with Metroid just like they did BotW a few years ago.

Picture translation: Something is cooking up (Wolfgang Puck) at Nintendo (Reggie) and it will be revealed during VGA.

They should add an achievements system and have you unlock things like wallpapers for your Switch like Xbox does it, or they can add profile pics to unlock. As long as they don't add crazy achievements to their exclusives I'd be good with that system. As for everything else it's got a long way to go. It's peanuts compared to Xbox Live or even PS Plus.

@NintendoFan4Lyf well that sucks, Xbox Live does it for free, no need to be subscribed to save in cloud.

@faint No, Xbox Live stores cloud data for free.

EA should release Dragon Age for Switch

I don't bother collecting indie games available on every platform

@Ichiyama Switch is a shovelware swamp. There are a few good exclusives on it but very small amount compared to Wii U. Unfortunately Wii U will be without exclusives soon.

@Nincompoop doesnt look too bad for this one. also it's very light reading and more about action.

i want Grim Dawn for Switch.

I had no idea there was so much animated Pokemon content.

@Cobalt I bought it but got gifted dragon quest builders at the same time so have been playing that

@NewAdvent it's tough being indie and frustrating when you're making good games but nobody wants in. can't judge indie the same way as you judge a gigantic publisher. if they are asking for help, it's different than if it was a huge corp. obviously they are in trouble and don't want to stop doing what they love and are good at. sometimes when you are in desperate times you may sound desperate but that has nothing to do with the ability to deliver.

@Cobalt agree, this year is super dry. it took a full year to get a good exclusive (Smash) which is also nothing really new. i haven't played my Switch from Jan to July.

nah if anything they should have a murloc

@HollowGrapeJ yes, get it.

@wratih9 start with picking one up, not some. see how you like it first. it's not for everybody and they are not short games.

1-2 Switch is trash. Should have come free with the console.

I think people are over thinking. The trailer was a reveal for Castlevania which included Death from the game. The reason it was Luigi was because his own game series is set in haunted mansions so it's the best character to have in a crossover trailer. It was an excellent trailer for a character reveal. Start with what audience knows (Luigi). He's in a haunted house. Death attacks him (woah, shock moment). Castlevania character reveal (wow moment). Richter reveal (cherry on top).

Dark Souls is like the Dark Souls of Dark Souls.

6/10 means there is a decent game there and depending on the person there is fun to be had.

it was great. i was on the fence of getting it day one but this direct swayed me over with the amount of content. even that training mode looks like a great additional feature. this truly will be the ultimate smash game.

@adam9431 it's supposed to be Kura but got messed up in localization.

@Jawessome yeah but that greed goes both ways, just as he said himself in his first post, he's greedy too. if you don't want to feed the ultra-rich directly and be poisoned every day, you don't have to. go to the local farmer's market and buy organic groceries, wash them when you get home. go to local clothing shop, etc. to say they are too expensive while being able to upkeep a video game hobby is being greedy too. that's why i fell out of that "hate the rich" mindset. they are rich because of people who want to buy quality products for less money and more of them. we have a choice and if we don't want to be part of the grid then we can find a small shack on a piece of land, grow our own vegetables and food, etc. people don't need electricity even, much less a Switch. but most people like the OP don't give up on those things because they are greedy just as much. he wants the easy food and necessities for less money so he can buy his entertainment and he's willing to give his money to a rich man to get it then acts like he has no choice. it's delusional. he does the exact same things as that rich guy he's complaining about but on a smaller scale, nevertheless his functionality is exactly the same or even more greedy because there are a lot of rich people who are humble with their money and don't act carelessly to it.

@Heavyarms55 you literally go out every day and give your money to rich people and bathe yourself in their services and products, but you complain about them. seems insane, don't you think?

@Heavyarms55 where is my loyality misplaced?

@Heavyarms55 brainwashed to hate rich, hardworking and successful people, i get it. i personally don't think money means success in and of itself but if that's what they think they truly want and have earned it legally, then good for them. your hate for anybody is your own transgression. you comfort and limit yourself with it.

@Heavyarms55 lol its because you don't have you don't understand it. Without the rich you wouldn't even be able to have half of what you have.

@RETRO_J super smash bros and Pokemon themselves are going to move tons of units. A lot of parents are interested already and Labo gives non gamers a good reason but they are holding out until the holidays.

That's why hat happens when half your lineup is ports of your previous device's games. It will come back though unless competition is announced.

well looks like phase 2 of Switch lifecycle is right around the corner

no thanks.

kickstarter already canceled.

nicee

that yooka laylee level couldnt look more uninspired.

@MarioFan02 yeah but did you play it at launch? fps was dropping hard all the time and sometimes to 0. They patched it later.

@Atariboy that's too bad of an experience. i had a great experience with my New 3DS small version. it cracked next to a shoulder button and the shoulder button fell out. They fixed it for $50 super fast and returned as good as new.

MARIO Tennis now this with consoles cracking and more to come. Nintendo has been sloppy and you can say no big deal but that is not Nintendo quality and why we love Nintendo in the first place. Don’t forget the terrible frame rates of BOTW sometimes dropping to 0. Seems like they too are going to rely on internet to deliver a final product whereas they used to deliver complete games at release prior to the Switch.

That UI/text is going to look absurdly tiny on portable mode. Already looks unreadable on my iPhone 6S in the trailer. No way I’m buying that.

I like the soundtrack idea. Everything else is unnecessary junk.
