Re: Surprise, Surprise! Super Mario 3D All-Stars Prices Skyrocket As Scalpers Set Up Shop

I can still order it on bestbuy. What did nintendo THINK would happen? They flooded the market with this thing, and it wasn't even very impressive. No galaxy 2, and they didn't improve anything either. Did they think retailers would just stop selling it? They clearly didn't buy back the copies or anything. They just removed it from the e-shop. That is literally all they did. I have games of which there were only a few thousand copies made. This game has millions out there.

Re: Danny DeVito 'Is Still Inside Of' Detective Pikachu

The only reason they Chose Ryan Reynolds is because of his name, nothing else. It had nothing to do with how well his voice fits. In fact any open casting call for voice talent would have resulted in a better fit than him. I'm sorry, I don't hate him, but he is a commodity now, not to be seen for talent, but as a brand to draw people in. Danny Devito's voice was funny because it is the polar opposite of cute fuzzy pikachu, and Reynold's doesn't channel any of that attitude from what we've seen, its just him speaking like himself, which just sits in a lukewarm area that sounds off. It also snubs the VO for detective pikachu in the game too.

This movie is going to be one for the books.

Re: Nintendo Adds New NES Games And SP Versions To Switch Online Earlier Than Planned

hirokun

Two NES games a month is kind of pathetic. I mean, I'll get the online service for pokemon once it comes out, but between poor netcode for smash and these paltry NES offerings(what few there are) I'm content playing single player games and local smash games with friends. Sorry Nintendo, try harder. 2 NES games, 2 SNES games, and 1 N64/gamecube game a month might turn some heads however. But bringing a handful of 8 bit era games to the switch is not impressive.

Re: Fire Emblem: Three Houses Is Getting A Gorgeous Limited Edition In Japan

Europe still getting the best version overall. The pins are way cooler than anything else. A usb stick with the songs is a bit strange, but honestly if you want the songs, you'll rip them from the CD to play on a phone or computer anyhow, just odd considering thats so much more costly than a CD. But still, the nicest looking edition of them all really. Though the shape of the europe boxes is less attractive than the Japanese ones.

The steelbook for the Japan one isn't really all that nice compared the the one Europe and North America are getting. This one actually seems to be the weakest of them all.

Re: Game Freak Director Junichi Masuda Thanks Pokémon Fans For Their Continued Support

He just wanted to show off his CIB collection of games.

No, but that is nice. I appreciate the people who are humble and take the time every now and then to recognize that we are both thankful to each other. Fans for the ability to enjoy something wonderful, and the creators to be blessed with the ability to keep making something and support themselves and express their talents.
