Comments thinking this is about Banjo are mistaken. Any big reveal would have made the same reactions. This is it. I was there when they revealed the Wii U and there was a similar reaction to Bayonetta 2.

I expected it . Same thing happened last year. I have some stock and sold some of it before E3. Hopefully this bounces back. Btw, nobody actually loses money. It's on paper. And it's already the secondary market. So Nintendo doesn't lose money. One investor sells and another buys the same stock pool. Investors decided to sell the stock and make money now.

It's amazing how beautiful and Pixar like are those character reveals this was one of the best yet with a sequel of sorts to the K. Rool reveal. Other than that, I think the best reveals were Witcher 3 and No More Heroes 3. For commercial purposes , the Zelda games and AC are very important.

I'll buy RE5 if they fixed stupid horrible Sheva getting in your way all the time .

@LuciferOnReddit yes it does play like RE4. But without the Wii's awesome Wii Remote ... and without the dark scary atmosphere , and with that thing next to you all the time.

Suda51 thank you... I remember buying the duo for the Wii. Will brush them off and play . Love the Nintendo loyalty.

So ... not play the VC version anymore. ?

Cool combo with RE5 and RE6. One console for everything, the Switch

Shadow? You mean Echo?

@spurryitboi whether not people own just Nintendo or choose to, super excited for the ultimate version to be playable handheld for the first time ever.

I agree with the other comments. I also find this article claiming it's for old people or something quite disturbing. It is not for old people. It's for gamers. It has the awesome VC and some real Wiiware gems. And I always want to go back to some of the best games some of them mentioned here. More than anything I will always keep it hooked for my GC games so what does that tell you... prehistoric ancient ? Isn't Retro one of the biggest things for gamers ?

I'll just play the Wii version on the Wii. Still the best version.

@GrailUK I agree and it shows how low / primitive game reviews really are. Can you imagine a movie review saying that the movie is really good but you can get it cheaper on Netflix or maybe you can just download it for free? 😂 Also the idea that this game is the same on an alternative platform is totally asinine. Yeah I'm sure that other console is just the same as the Switch (portability , design of the machine and so on). Review and add a "caveat emptor" if they want in a footnote would be more professional way to do it.
If people want to argue that video games are not a work of art , reviews like this serve them the best evidence on a silver platter, sadly .

@NinChocolate sounds more like a cost saving thing. Go back to their R&D and see what vision it was.

@NinChocolate it is a handheld but it is also a regular home console. You can call it a hybrid or you can call it both. The dock is an integral part of it and its vision and its whole control scheme and games are also designed with that it mind ... Since the hybrid nature of it is a core part of the philosophy of the whole console (unlike an iPad) I agree that calling it just a handheld (without more) is inaccurate.

@jikflet this is a fascinating subject because they might be a communist government but China is successful today because they embraced capitalism (which is awesome). So there is a lot of excitement about Chinese companies but there is this looming danger that this is fake capitalism and in the end they will fail because of this communist core ingrained in them... It is at odds with one another and one day will/might blow up badly . Don't know when the tipping point will be.

@LavaTwilight socialist lies.

@WickedWitch it's just as graphic as Smash Bros. That's my point.

@BlackenedHalo Adventure Game.

@Zach1122 agreed adventure games can apply to more genres but that came first in think and then people used it for other games ... They should come up with a more respectful descriptive name . This just rubs me the wrong way like it removes the thought process the enjoyment part, the story of it, and it becomes some kind of boring puzzle pointing and clicking.

What's so graphic about it. Looks "kiddie" with all the green and blue "blood".

Darkman 😁 the best

It's so incredibly stupid how some people keep calling Adventure Games "point and click" games. Imagine if we called fighting or other games "move control stick and press button" games. It is a silly description that does not respect the genre which started way before there was even a mouse or anything to point or click with.

I'm especially excited for TurboTax , finally! Although would have preferred on New 3DS .

The new editions of the Switch are great news and just what Nintendo needs to stay on top of its game and lead.

I envy people who have time to play both their Switch and the 3DS. It's also pretty cool to think that my 3DS sitting somewhere in the house is still having games come out for it.

I don't know if I will ever get to the 3DS again unfortunately. For existing Nintendo customers, I agree it's kind of weird to expect us to buy a non 3D game for the 3DS. My Wii is actually still connected to the TV. I can play it again more easily... so these two mini games must be really really good.... for new players, I wonder how many of them are interested in playing the 3DS in 2D instead of Switch games.

It's basically a risk factor. Not an admission or anything like that. A reasonable risk factor. They are trying to be more profitable and that's good for them, but it has risks. There is nothing immoral in trying to become more profitable, that's the way it is supposed to be.

@WaveBoy right as usual. The problem is seemingly they promised too much (free) DLC at the time they financed the game and now they are stuck with it forever. The amiibo for shovel Knight is btw amazing , I love it... But the idea to release even more amiibo (3!!) was way too ambitious and it looks like they can't deliver .

Ridiculous. I had the amiibo pre-ordered for years now... I knew this was gonna happen in the last delay and people jumped on that. I'm not sure these amiibo will ever be released.

Not much point to do this. Smash wins easily and the other categories are too much work.

Sony sux big time

Ok, this is amazing:
Nintendo has confirmed that the Switch became the best-selling console in US history for the five-day period from Thanksgiving to Cyber Monday

It’s time for Gamestop to go out of business. It’s way overdue.

I bought RCR on Wiiware and loved it.
I also love how accessible the developer is. You can talk with him on Twitter, email , he's the nicest. I received a cool T shirt and other items buying the Wiiware version in a promotion he did.

Then much later I got the Switch physical collectors edition with more goodies. So hoping for that too here.

5 times? More like 5,000 times 😂
Sony sux.

5 times? More like 5,000

Sony the copycat hacks, forever and ever.

This is really impressive actually. I mean really. Remembering that one NES game on the Wii used to cost $5 . This is what $20? a year? Wow. I hate subscription services but this one's cost is really cheap. it's cheaper than CBS all access ha ha. Probably won't last forever.

The name is not dumb, it's a classic long weird name for Japanese title and plays homage for the Wii U. It would have been disrespectful to drop the U.

Crazy. This Direct announced like a million new games

@AlexSora89 it really shouldn't. Nintendo doesn't give a damn about E3 and that's cool. They want the big announcements as they want them when they want them. Nintendo sets the rules and people will play by their flute! They could just ditch the E3 altogether if they want.

@wiggleronacid it's not a lot of games at all . Some of them are total crap. Some are horrible port jobs. Not gonna even discuss the indies or Wii's Just Dance. It's embarrassing to even mention. .And what exactly did they spend time on for Switch? Another Rayman Port just not as good as the Wii U one? Or another just dance or this horrific Rabbids Mario? I don't think there was anything else. These guys released endless amount of games on other platforms. Where's Tom Clancy. Where's Far Cry. Where's The Crew. Where's For Honor. Wheres I'm Alive. Where's all that AC and Division and Rainbow and From Dust and Watchdogs 2. Nothing is at all on the Switch.
There's no more the power excuse. Not after Doom and Wolfenstein. Certainly not for ol' 360/PS3 stuff.

So it's just what it is. Dishonest bunch of liars saying that they have a good relationship . They do nothing. It is what it is.

@kobashi100 learn that other people can disagree without being ridiculous. You are childish. But I expected responses like that .
They were obviously dishonest because they made promises about relationships and then went back on it. Perhaps that's okay with you. Not with me. They misled all Nintendo customers. Zombi U sold very well. You are spewing out a myth.

I don't like these guys very much and they are dishonest.

They screwed up with Assassin's Creed - could have had multiple games on Switch already as well as dozens of other franchises.

I think the Mario Rabbids collaboration is a POS sorry.

And my favorite game, Zombi U, they criticized the sales for no reason and then made a disgusting port of it to the other consoles instead of improving it and making more sequels for it, perhaps for Switch. Etc etc.

@Mountain_Man the nice thing is it can get some beautiful experiences from the other consoles AND from PC whenever the developers want to do a powerful portable version and then we get the first party . So it's a solid situation.

Hope we get XCOM one day.

How cool is it that this game is now console exclusive on Switch.

Nobody wants to work at Sony.

@ReanSchwarzer7 8 months is practically a year.
It's next spring ffs. And it's possibly be delayed again . That amiibo pack has been in my preorder since time immemorial it seems

April 9 is insane. Tha's like back to the Future stuff. Very strange. I thought we're talking days or weeks not years.

What's the point of the Deals Link ? It's not working. Can't you post the deals/sales here?

Meh, God of War is so overrated.
