@Tendogamerxxx I’m not particularly fond of them either, but not everything is made for me. The switch could honestly use a popular sports game that runs well and isn’t loaded with micro transactions.
It isn’t the same thing. Like I said, when Ori one was released, Ori 2 was still in development and had six months exclusivity to X-Box because they are Microsoft games.
@SwitchForce The point of bringing up Mario and Duck Hunt is this has always been happening. The people who bought the individual copies made an investment. They will likely increase in value more than the dual copy.
@Kreko the physical version for the first came out while they were still making the second one. Those carts have also been out for a while. Are you mad about Sonic Mania and Sonic all stars racing being on a cart together? What about Mario and Duck Hunt being on an nes cart together?
@Clarice Then what was your original point? You said nobody was in danger. There’s a reason why the people who actually live in Tokyo are protesting people from around the world going there for a sports event right now.
@Clarice how do the athletes get food? Are they locked up like in a prison or can they visit other places in Tokyo? Do the athletes ever come into contact with workers that will come into contact with people outside of the stadium?
@Clarice So far 2 athletes and 12 members of security staff have tested positive. Do you think they are so walled off they they come into contact with no one? No workers? No transportation? No doctors?
@Fujimoto-San The service has its moments. It would have been great during COVID, but it was already long gone. Nintendo is always late or early to the party.
@BloodyMurder I don’t know anything about the bankruptcy, but five million across 6+ platforms and 5+ titles doesn’t sound like the feather in their cap that they want it to be. Especially when this is one of their premier franchises.
I haven’t enjoyed a Mario Party title since the game cube. Hopefully they’re doing something different and that franchise will get passed on to a different developer.
@MajorTom didn’t we just go over how the last one took 3 years and you replied with “it’s already been 3”? Pretty sure COVID had an effect on that 3. Anyway, Platinum has a great track record and has released 4 games (3 being ports) on the system in the last 3 years. I highly doubt they are going to stop the 1 release minimum per year streak. Especially when bayonetta 3 has been bankrolled by Nintendo. We haven’t seen anything from final fantasy 16 or the next elder scrolls and I seriously doubt they’re canceled.
@Heavyarms55 I would argue the Miles Morales is that killer title, but one killer title is rarely enough. The only examples I can think of where this strategy worked was BOTW and Wii Sports.
@NGNYS it’s called COVID. Supply chains and manufacturing is really really messed up right now. The uptick in Switch sales has probably been effected by folks who couldn’t get a ps5 for holiday and got a switch instead. Not everything is a conspiracy. Typically the easiest answer is the correct one.

Re: Huntdown To Get Wider Retail Release And Second Run Of Collector's Edition
@huyi Putting out a limited release as a small company is not extortion. I’m starting to think you should google extortion.

Re: Ori's Physical Games Are Getting A New Two-In-One Release On Nintendo Switch
@Kreko I looked up the dates. You’re just unwilling to admit your wrong on the Internet. It’s okay, you’ll survive.
Re: Ori's Physical Games Are Getting A New Two-In-One Release On Nintendo Switch

Re: Ori's Physical Games Are Getting A New Two-In-One Release On Nintendo Switch
@Kreko That doesn’t work because both of those are already completed. A very different situation than Ori and Ori 2 when they were released.

Re: Ori's Physical Games Are Getting A New Two-In-One Release On Nintendo Switch
@Kreko Ori one came out on the switch in 2019. Ori 2 wasn’t finished till March 2020 and had six months Xbox exclusivity.
Re: Report Outlines Cancelled Plans For Nintendo's Role In Tokyo Olympics Ceremony
@Purgatorium I 100% agree. It was likely a cost versus reward situation.

@LaytonPuzzle27 This is an incredibly silly take.

Re: Review: Samurai Warriors 5 - Fast And Flashy Musou On Switch
I feel like this is the highest rating NL has given a mainline Warriors game.

Re: Rumour: Persona 4 Arena Ultimax To Be Remastered For "Modern Platforms"
Modern platforms makes it sound like ps5 and Xbox only. We’ll see.
Re: Soapbox: Nintendo Switch Online's Library Is A Snapshot Of '90s Gaming Shelves
@victordamazio screwed how? You are paying for online servers. These games are just extras. Don’t like it, cancel your membership.

@Aerona where do you think Nintendo consoles and carts are manufactured?

@Silly_G every other day? That’s some serious exaggeration on your part.
Re: Hideki Kamiya Hopes To Share An Update About Bayonetta 3 At Some Point In 2021
Sounds to me like he wants to talk about these projects, but for some reason Nintendo doesn’t want him to. That’s what I gather.

Re: Hideki Kamiya Says Bayonetta 3's Development Is "Going Very Well"
@MajorTom I’m sure there is nothing about 2020 that’s been different than any other year on a global level. Nothing at all.
Re: Kirby Developer HAL Laboratory Teases New Projects For 2021
2019 they published a small game and a Kirby game. 2020 they published a small game and a Kirby game. I’m expecting the same in 2021.
Re: Hideki Kamiya Says Bayonetta 3's Development Is "Going Very Well"
@XenoShaun they also said development was going well for bayonetta two. The o e that took 3 years to make.
Re: Hideki Kamiya Says Bayonetta 3's Development Is "Going Very Well"
@Joeynator3000 took them 3 years to make bayonetta 2. Not sure why this one should be any different
