What I've read here in the comments and from the article:
It's basically the age old: Miyamoto doesn't believe in fluff. He doesn't do stories because it get's in the way of gameplay. He doesn't do "art" because everything needs to be functional to the game, the product.
So, he's been pretty transparant actually.
(Still don't like the man, but he's very open and honest!)
It's a good thing I had the money saved and I'm a Nintendo only guy. But every decision made in the last two months have been very anti consumer, or anti player. I'm really concerned what the future holds.
Maybe a nice PS4 and finally playing all the other games I've been missing in life, would have been just fine!
@parkerdeal My first thought!! 🤣 I'll take the damn Zelda notes glitches if I could find a working dupe glitch again! Do you have a vid for me or something how you did it?
I can't play it myself, but you're all in for an absolute classic, I can feel it! 🤎
I'm a bit bummed out that I'll probably have to wait a REALLY long time, or not even getting a Mario 64/oddesey game again.
But, this looks fantastic,.so like Luigi's mansion on the GCN we'll probably have an absolute blast with this and Mario will inevitably show up later down the line!
And people talking about lore: It's obvious we're in a total reboot of the series. We may not like it, but that's what they're doing starting with the movie and MKWorld.
@Dev-N it's been the first month Of NS2 when this releases, there was nothing on that screen and they already had this prepared because people were playing this at events...
It's going to be agonizingly slow, once a month at best! So basically how they've been handling 64 and GBA! 🤣🤣
@Mario_maniac My best friends used to rent this one. I understood little of it but it looked like so much fun! I'm downloading it right now!
Truly one of those games I always dreamt of playing (along with Final Fantasy 8,9,10 and Dragon Quest 8! ) It'ssonweird and cool finally owning all of these!!
@Chlocean @Bobb Go for it! It's like your favorite tv show. Each chapter is it's own contained story, like seasons on tv. But there's a cool overarching story going on for the full series.
It's a bit strange at first because it's a parelel universe. But it absolutely has the same charm as Undertale!
And Undertale is great, not too long and really unique. Go in with the knowledge of it's an Indy game made by 2 people and have fun!
I started on launch day when everyone was around equal level. I could win that, but haven't tried now all the pros have bagging strategies and jump walls like ninja's! 😂
I'm a Ninty only guy and a huuuuuuuge FF fan. The thought of getting FF 13, 15 and 16 and maybe games like Type zero and the other FF7 games.... I'm over the moon happy to finally get this chance!
An actual non-cloud Kingdom Hearts 3 would be lovely too! 🤔😂😂
See also Nintendo music.
I just hope the guys who think of this stuff get as screwed over in life and business as the composers they're doing this too!
@FortniteJ It's not with everyone either. My face YouTuber is a Pikmin nut. He get's a bit of flicker during the final stages of bingo battle, a second of glitch during the end and begining of a day and he had his game crash in the second screen of the start menu once.
@HalBailman
What makes it a 7 if you haven't played it? You could be right in your case, but it sounds so weird! 😂
I think the negatives mentioned are mainly of you've already owned the game, if you haven't and like rpgs this was definitely one of my Favorites gameplay wise and already looked great in 3ds.
Story is a bit meh, but the characters are fun enough that I didn't mind!
A game that feels like an rpg boss rush. You'll have to take every single job in a fight, and the bosses usually come in pairs or trios. Using each others skills, braving and defaulting, to get you to breaking point.
I've never had this much fun thinking of strategies, making teams and finally breaking through the defences. A game I never have regretted buying and will happily dive back in ten years later!
Power to them if they make it work. Ninty have been such giant $%^#$ in owning your games and savefiles lately that they deserve people taking matters into their own hands!
I'm not risking it thought. You're 1 update away from a really expensive paperweigt!
Davidvinc did a little rant about this. It's probably the Switch update that killed him. All the save data you had on the SD card got wiped when they moved to those virtual game cards.
He's a Youtuber that focuses on RPG's...so you can imagine how his total lost playtime went in the hundreds or more hours lost.
We didn't notice because most of us have the save cloud as a backup, or save states on the console. But it's insane it happened anyway!
Edit: Oh yhea, I forgot I can't cloud save for Pokemon..!!!
I can't play button mashy games anymore, so raming through a kiloton of bricks is out of the question. But this looks like it will be absolutely amazing! Have fun everyone!
I really regret buying mine and hate looking at the thing. All the anti consumer choices really hit home when you start playing this puppy!
We're at: want to use your games or saves on another profile?, want to use them on another systeem? .... you'll have to pay for that!
I paid around 600 dollars for console and controllers, paid for Mario Kart, paid for NSO plus. My sister did a time trial and got a message that she can't upload her time trial to the leaderboards because her profile isn't paying for NSO!
My extra save file wouldn't use Zelda notes because I had to buy the extension because the download I used is profile locked!
I can't play at my boyfriend anymore because the saves and games can only be played on 2 consoles. So I have to box my Switch 1, or never play at his house. Mario kart wouldn't start because my profile was linked to his and mine NS1! (I wanted to start fresh on NS 2 because of the horribly low memory on the thing..)
They're disgusting, and I hate this company at the moment.
I'm still heaving mad from finding out I can't use game cards on this one because I'm connected to another Switch 1.... I'm going to scream!!! 🤣🤣
God I hate Nintendo right now, I'm so soured by all this bad juju, greedy behavior and downright theft of my rights that I'm hoping some of those executives have a horrible, dreadful week. God I hate this company right now!!!
I'm literally sitting here angry with a just downloaded Mario Kart in front of me having regrets of buying this stupid thing!
It's so exciting! They say I'll get it tomorrow, but also that it's crazy busy and they've been known to deliver the next day at times like that. God i'm nervous and excited!!
"If not now, then when?" Was my thought as I clossed my eyes and added to cart! 😂
The Joy cons messed up my hands, so I have to use the pro. And since the NS1 pro is backwards compatible I never would have experienced the new controls when the system was out. Who buys a controller instead of a new game?
It's good to temper this expectation early! As others have said, I mainly did it for the stupid giggles Ingot out of it. But with that speed it was like controlling a rabbid Chihuahua on Red Bull!

Re: Switch 2 Exclusive 'Drag x Drive' Won't Include Local Multiplayer Support
