Re: Nintendo Switch Sales Surge Past A Million In Japan

dumedum

It really is unbelievable what an amazing success the Switch has been on all levels. Sales. Reception. Games. Excitement. Stoxk price. Nintendo itself probably couldn't have expected it. You just never know. Switch is a hit. An amazing piece of tech.

Re: New Trailer for Skyrim on Switch Showcases Motion Controls and Link amiibo Support

dumedum

This is really cool. I am so happy Switch is getting this game.. I hope the Switch and this sells well so we keep getting those 3rd party quality versions. The best on the Wii U was Arkham City, Mass Effect 3 and so on. Of course they used the great 2nd screen which no longer exists... but playing on the sleek portable, and with amiibo, it's good enough to make it special.

Re: Poll: What Do You Think of the New Nintendo 2DS XL?

Brilliant move by Nintendo. Why kill the 3DS/2DS family when there is so many people loving the machine and what it represents. It will be premature. As long as there is a market, they should continue with the DS line, and it's nice to see how people were sure that because they killed GBA at the time they have to kill the 3DS as well.

Anyway, it's nice to know I might have more uses for my New 3DS but my focus is on the Switch now indeed. You got that, you got Mobile, Nintendo is banking on all fronts and that's awesome.

Re: Poll: What Wii U Ports Would You Like to Play on Nintendo Switch?

dumedum

@BulbasaurusRex they might be worse I agree but no... "thereby resulting in a critical nightmare." Reviewers never understood or were excited enough about second screen. "Hardcore" gamers/reviewers always (stupidly) asked whether there is a Pro playing option or no buy... So no, unfortunate, but no. They can make any game with regular controls and they'll like it.

Re: Poll: What Wii U Ports Would You Like to Play on Nintendo Switch?

I'd say Bayonettas because that on the go us incredible and unprecedented...
(2) Paper Mario because this just flew under the radar and fits handhelds....
(3) Xenoblade Chronicles because of the sequel so it'll be on the same machine.

Super Mario Maker is an obvious one but people really flocked to the 3DS version at this point. Captain Toad will be great but will come off as an indie to many people. NSMB and DK pro ably a waste of time at this point as sequels are probably being developed one way or another. Smash will come too but again maybe it will be a sequel of some sort and can arrive later.

Re: Feature: From BIT.TRIP to Runner3 - The Nintendo Journey of Choice Provisions

"one of our core values is thinking from the player/controller, to the screen." These guys are the best. Love them so much. wish all dveelopers were like this. We could have had so many great games but so many idiots are " gimmicks!! More pixels something p and woo trophies or something," missing the ingenuity of things like the Wii Remote (and the magnificent never properly imitated nunchuk) and the GamePad. Even the GC was amazing with the button placements and comfortable squishy triggers. The controller defines the game and Nintendo does it best.

Re: Playtonic Removes JonTron's Voice from Yooka-Laylee

dumedum

Don't know what he said (maybe he deserves it, no idea) but this here is freakin' awful line "in light of his recent personal viewpoints".. at least rephrase that differently. Talk about the expression, assertions and the platform, not his mind. Almost 1984ish sentence.y

@brandonbwii nothing to do with Whites, but Islam is a big issue, because as a principle, many adhering to the faith, radicals, believe in eventually enforcing Sharia Law instead of integration or acquiescence to the society. Lots of problems.

Re: Nintendo Switch Can Be Used On UK-Bound Flights After All

dumedum

@Equinox @dezzy it is really not an important distinction as you seem to think it is. It is antisemitism and that is generally regraded as a form of racism. Jews were treated as a race in the past by Nazis for example. Words don't always mean what they literally mean. For examples antisemitism is not anti Semites people (which includes Arabs). It is anti Jews. That's what the word means just not literally. Homophobia is not really fear of gays. It is being anti gay. And so on. Hardcore gamers? Shovelware?

Re: Nintendo Switch Can Be Used On UK-Bound Flights After All

@sillygostly Not sure we should talk politically here but here you go (Moderators - feel free to delete everything). You are wrong. You are wrong and clueless and you are misleading. I lived with Arabs and Muslims IN the Middle East. It is called Israel, the most free liberal country in the Middle East. I suffered consequences of Islamic Jihad terrorism. Arabs murdered, killed, and Jihad means something very specific. It means charity and struggle and bullshit but it also means killing infidels, and killing them joyfully. They are intolerant towards women, towards gay and the islamic jihad doctrine is a cancer in western societies everywhere. So you are the one brainwashed by Islam/libertardism.

Turkey is a good example. Of course they had "nude" beaches. It was a great country - Israelis love(d) it. It is supposed to constitutionally be a secular country. But it is now abducted by radical crazy Muslims. The same thing they did in Lebanon. And the same thing they do basically everywhere radical Muslims go. If you are not a Muslim you can hardly visit Saudi Arabia, you are banned from some areas... if you are a woman, you can't drive there. Some Muslim countries execute gay people. And you would be surprised - many people like to have a drink during their tourism. Not important to me, but cannot complain why people don't want to go there when they can't have a bit of fun.

@impurekind it's really not. Some people will go into extreme "ridiculous" stuff like that. You name it some terrorist already attempted it somewhere (For example, using toddlers/babies/pregnant women/gifts by husbands and fiances to their loved ones).

Re: New Kid Icarus Awards Have Shown Up on My Nintendo in North America

dumedum

These are not awards/rewards. Give me back Club Nintendo!! and big thanks for all those who always complained about that wonderful service and now we lost it forever.

@ThePoochyKid are you freaking kidding? "Discounts" are always worthless because you can always get cheaper with old games or used, and there are discount sales anyway being done. Getting a free game, no added nothing, that is so much better. And physical rewards, really cool beautiful collectibles at your door... a dream now gone destroyed forever. And what do you even get coins for? Not like before, with many surveys and options. Here you hardly get them and they just expire all the time.

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Upgraded Confidence in Switch is a Relief

dumedum

@Windy we were never duped. It was always clear, from the moment there was a Playstation and N64 got less third party that this was it.. Nintendo focuses on first party. GC had many third parties until it didn't, but nobody was really shocked of that (being looked at as a more kiddie console etc). Wii was obvious from day one that it will have only those developers who would fit the control system properly, and it was obviously not HD.

Wii U there was big announcement but surely everybody knew that this all depended on whether the thing was popular or not... we knew it's a hard sale since it came before the "next gen" machines and people felt it was underpowered again.

And this time nobody raised any expectations. It's a Nintendo portable device, and I haven't heard Nintendo say it's ever going to be a third party machine. Any third party is clearly "bonus" and any person who had some experience with the Wii U and before knew this. Also clearly is the case with 3DS, where people overlook it no matter how much it sells. Everybody knows this, nobody is duped.

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Upgraded Confidence in Switch is a Relief

@cripesdude Mass Effect to me at least the ship has sailed... I guess it will be cool for those that never played Mass Effect 3:SE but that version was so amazing using the second touch screen that going back to one screen will be a huge disappointment, especially with titles I already played (ME3) or that I know what happened because of the in-game comics and encyclopedia. So Andromeda will be best here but that one has mediocre reviews.
