If Nintendo doesn't release another generation for say 8-10 years and just does say, 3-4 hardware upgrades/iterations for the Switch, it could easily sell 100 million units.
Don't buy this, as cool as the actual headphones looks, I will not be patting Nintendo on the back for this overly convoluted and unnecessary mess. I'll just stick to google chat or actual phone calls.
@Ryu_Niiyama I can understand where you are coming from and in most cases I could agree with your view, but in specific cases like this game, Destiny vanilla and other "cash in" games I make an exception. If a developer removes content from a finished game to sell it as Dec or sell a small effort for full price (I.E. most Wii U launch ports) then value has to be discussed in the review.
It's sad that this game is thought of as a lazy cash in. With a little more effort, it could have been labelled a love letter to the fans. (Adding every known character in the street fighter universe, give every version of each character, added survival mode, all known Street fighter artwork/assests, sound fx/music from all versions with the ability to Switch mid gameplay, fully realized online including tournament scheduling and Capcom hosted world tournaments.)
@LinkSword I'm hoping they add multiplayer, I was certain the last Xeno had online multiplayer akin to PSO. It was still an axing game but that would've push it into legendary status for me.
You missed Firepower 2000, Robotrek, Battletoads in Battlemaniacs, Super Smash TV, Final Fantasy II, The Peace Keepers, Double Dragon 5 and Mario Paint, but otherwise a fine list.
Other than the grinding loop, stage 5 is the only other problematic thing with this game. Bullet hell dodging is one thing but dogdong a forever heat seeking emp that disables all weapons for the entire level is just lazy design not a thoughtful challenge.
I loved both Xenoblade games, I just hope this one is online multiplayer. I was so hyped for the last one thinking my brother and I could play online a la PSO.
@Yorumi dude no-one really cares what you think. That's not a dig at you, just that people tend to already have their mind made up. That being said, you could come off a little less whining/complainy when you post stuff. You are free to disagree with Nintendo charging for online, stating that it is peer to peer without evidence of that (I.E. the service hasn't even rolled out yet nor are they charging you for it yet) isn't anything that anyone wiahes to listen to. You do come off as a troll, just because there is always a negative connotation to what you say. I mean I don't really care what you say, I read up on stuff and make up my own mind. Heck I don't even have a Switch yet.
Is there an option for southpaw controls this time? I had such a hard time with the last game, kinda wish all console had the xbox accessories app where you can just program the control however you like.
Hopefully someone is hard at work on games like, Metroid, F-Zero, Wave Race, 1080, a real Star Fox, Punchout, I'd even like to see something Like Star Tropics or Duck Hunt revived.
ALBW was incredible but not quite perfect, a larger world a la breath of the wild would be cool. I feel like it was on the grey area between greatness and perfection.
I know why Nintendo is still supporting the 3DS but I kinda wish they'd just drop it. I mean they dropped the Wii U like a sack a potatoes. I love my 3DS but I really want to know how much software Nintendo can produce yearly once they focus solely on switch.
@ThatNyteDaez People complain because it's not what they want, I don't understand either. Some complaints are valid, they price is too high(although it does seem within reason), the launch lineup is thin (but Nintendo has learned their lesson about that, right?) but complaints about it being a hybrid is crazy to me. I mean who wants a phone that is more than just a phone right? Oh ya, everyone.
@Spoony_Tech Well if they think a last gen Fifa is going to do well then they are part of the problem. I am all for Nintendo having strong 3rd party games, but for a long time now everything 3rd party port has been a lazy, little to no effort by the developer. Then the games bombs and they have to blame someone other than themselves and that is just bull. If Street Fighter 6 or COD 2017 come out day and date without, being gimped, but still sell terribly then that becomes a real problem. Wii U had a terrible install base and that was the only other real root of that issue.
@Slim1999 How is that cheaper? I'd still have to pay $300 USD plus exchange rate and shipping, that would be more expensive. I'll just have to wait until the holiday season and save up is all.

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Sets the Scene for Mario and the Switch at E3
@Incarta I would love a dark Metroid Dread, not quite horror but with horror elements would be great.

@LinkSword I don't Xeno makes it out this year but I'd love to be wrong.
