He crossed that Rainbow Bridge

@Erigen I mean, it's Warner Brothers

@TheMegaMarshtomp I think Nintendo was freaking out about the future after the Wii U (and rightly so) and thought mobile was necessary to their survival. But after the Switch exceeded expectations I don't believe they feel producing mobile games is a must.

I can't imagine Nintendo announcing a Switch successor before the holiday season that doesn't come out until 2024. Would likely sabotage both current and future hardware sales.

Toad looks a little . . . husky to me.

@Beefcakeyamato Price Charting currently has it listed at $547 loose and $1,095 complete.

To quote The X Files, I want to believe.

Big Atari XEGS energy here ⌨️

I'm no lawyer, but I don't understand how this kid has standing to sue when he was spending his father's money. The whole case sounds like lawyers trying to squeeze a settlement out of Nintendo.

@KevynOnVideo When you bought games based primarily on the box art . . .

Really can't stand these "modern" designs of Disney characters. And they aren't limited to this game, unfortunately.

Always wondered what Princess Peach smelled like . . . I'll show myself out.

Nintendo legal counsel on line 1 . . .

Looks like a LEGO game without the LEGO license.

He looks . . . fuzzier.

Well it definitely looks very smurfy.

@Teksetter Always loved Farmer Smurf's accent.

For $150 you should be able to actually play SMB on it.

And I thought a Big Wheel was awesome . . .

@HotGoomba I understood that reference.

@LP09 Cold Stone is very good, but also very 💰

Now I want to see a DuckTales RPG.

@LEGEND_MARIOID The camera angles in EM2 made it very frustrating.

So I'm guessing in TC's Animal Crossing, you have to overthrow the island before you can run it.

It looks like a tie-in for the release of Rocky IV. 🥊

That video needs a seizure warning 😵

I would call this proof of concept, but I have no idea what the concept is . . .

@sailornic I'm no lawyer, but the GCN is 20 years old, so my guess would be the patents have expired at this point.

@Ryu_Niiyama Cats stealing electronics and works of art was a big problem in the 1980s.

"I for one welcome our new hip hop overlords."

Kudos to whomever selected a picture of a Switch running Animal Crossing new Horizons . . .

@stinky_t That's basically the Switch 😊

I have a Super NT from Analogue and it's great. But I'm just not interested in the Pocket because of the form factor. If it had a horizontal orientation like a GBA and could play games from other systems I'd give it a serious look. As it is I'll stick with my modded GBA with an IPS screen.

@TheFrenchiestFry All of that is true. However, it's also possible Ocean was limited in what they could do by DC/WB. That's part of what happened to Titus in the disaster that was Superman 64.

@Kienda "Sneakers" is a term used in the northern U.S. In the South a lot of us call them "tennis shoes." 😁

Don't forget originally Donkey Kong was supposed to be a Popeye game. Shigeru M. really wanted to do a Popeye game, but King Features, who owned the rights, didn't think it was worth the trouble. So he replaced Popeye, Bluto, and Olive Oyl with his own characters. When King Features saw what a massive hit DK was, they were more than eager to make a Popeye game. So we ended up with two classic arcade games.

If it was a motion controller, I could see the appeal. But as a traditional game pad, not so much.

Gotta say, "The Missing Link" is a Zelda title that is just begging to be used.

Mario has been around longer than 35 years--the sale brochure/flyer for Donkey Kong in 1981 referred to him as Mario the carpenter. It's only Super Mario Bros. that is 35 years old.

Q: What is the upper limit on how many times Nintendo can repackage and resell Super Mario Bros.?
A: Infinity!

"Besides, we've got to unload DirecTV so we can stop it form hemorrhaging any more money."

@Slowdive True. For all intensive purposes the Jaguar was the end of Atari. Everything since then has been basically a repackaging of legacy IP.

@Nintendofan83 You've said it. No way Nintendo could make a cheaper Switch and still provide a decent amount of internal storage.

Why do this?? Why not make a slimmed-down version of the OG Game Gear about normal size with around 25-30 games and price it in the $75-$100 range?

@BabyYoshi65 Well this has raised the bar exponentially higher for everyone else.

@Aaron09 Most of the top ten Wii U games were bundled with it at some point as well: Mario Kart 8, 3D World, Nintendo Land, Mario Bros U, Luigi U, and Mario Maker that I can recall.

I don't think the Steve Jobs comparison is particularly apt. Nintendo was around a long time before Miyamoto, and he's never been a CEO. Sure his creative contributions have been invaluable, but they've developed other very successful franchises besides those he's been directly involved in.

@mrmememan I can assure you that if 4-year old me had been given this thing in 1980, I'd have covered it in stickers.

Very well done. Although the way Tom Nook dresses he looks like he should be backing up Perry Como.

@super08mario That's the real reason. Gamestop is already struggling and corporate management knows if they shut stores they won't be in business much longer. They're still going to take a hit due to less traffic, so it may not matter.
