No, it confirms Luigi won't be in smash.

Look Ryan. I love you, but you can just poke into threads and say hello. No need to be afraid. We won't bite.

Haven't played it yet, but remember it coming out way back when. Zeboyd was good on breath of death and cthulhu saves the world, but everything else was not. Love their talent though, so I'm excited to try this out soon on a portable system.

Nothing about this is a good idea

RIP in pepperonis old man, it is only a matter of time.

dark samus actually has a really cool looking style. Amazing. I have a friend who will probably love a different samus playstyle.

most game stories are self contained. Rarely they are connected. It is clear that OOT and MM are directly related for example. Similarly Windwaker and Phantom Hourglass are the exact same people. However when you go outside of this, its really more about making a new story. Take each story as self-contained, and accept that fact. The official timeline is a joke anyhow.

@Tsurii putting boobs and violence together though? We need more of that. Just offend everyone. I'd love more of that.

the modern era is a bunch of puritantical babies. Susan Wocalakadingdong just mad she doesn't have oppai.

the art looks trash, but gameplay videos betray that middle school art look in a good way.

Way to make me NOT respect you activision. Playing favorites to try to make them like you more in a ploy to get them to sing your praises to the plebs? Yeah, this isn't how you make people like you.

They should have detachable wires to be truly customizable. Allows for lower input times, but allows people to play wireless for convenience, giving casual players and competitive players their preferences. The C stick thing is nice. If the triggers are digital though, I'll just pass. The Switch pro controller is a modern design and has the NFC reader and rumble and are wireless.

Also the Zelda one looks ugly.

I have a wave bird and my OG gamecube controller wired, so I don't feel the need to buy these things unless they give me something modern.

with some games cross play seems like a bad idea, mainly highly competitive multiplayer games. But games like minecraft that are generally more about just goofing off, cooperating and such are great fits. This game is like the poster child. Because you make games for others, and crossplay gives others the ability to play your game.

Too many people who try to crack their consoles don't know what they are doing. You can tell them to back stuff up and follow the guide, but they never will. Its a test of intelligence.

Its Bravely Default all over again, in a good way. Game exceeds expections, and it already had really great sales. It outsold Bravely Default on release. I'm happy for the team behind the game. Generally I think Square needs to have their arms twisted to give us what we want. However I think this case is genuinely just a case of not being able to properly gauge the demand for a game. Its always a difficulty for games publishers. So I'm glad Japan is proving that physical is still popular, its cultural. In the West we seem to care more about instant gratification, and not going to a store, or bothering to swap a game card. Japan loves their physical music media still too while we are all but entirely beyond it.

At the end of the day

Please Understand

If anything, I'd say they could stop adding titles and then remove some. I swear there is already some real trash. In time it will end up like any other platform.

Copyright law is [removed] anyhow. Thanks Disney.

That being said, my personal view on it would still say that Nintendo is in the right. Their videogames have been around since the 80's and that is still not a super long time, pretty much everyone involved in the games made are still alive too. the OG Zelda is old, but Miyamoto is still kicking around and making use of the Zelda brand to our delight.

This case is just massively overblown though. Everyone knows that rom sites don't actually make money. 100 million dollars? Give me a break. I would say they will get a small fine maybe, or an injunction to cease providing the software on their sites.

I await final result either way. Nintendo Ninjas are ruthless and unfeeling psychopaths, so I doubt this will end in any way other than those sites are toast.

But....where do you get a water type or grass type before brock if you can't pick squirtle or bulbasaur....I think there was a mistake made.

Secretly, I think he wanted to do this in part so that there couldn't be a next game and he could do something else. Its no secret that Smash has made the man a wreck. I see this at the least, the last smash game, and at best, the game that will be ported forward to new systems for eternity, with the simple task of just adding a new stage or character every so often from new Nintendo IPs and games.

I think he hopes this ruins it and is the big push to end it and be what melee ought to have been in his mind.

And really to be quite honest I think he deserves to work on something new, and I would be happy to see him make something unique, new and bold. He obviously makes good games.

@R4z0rGr1nd3r but which digimon game? Most of them have been terrible.

cute little find. Probably more done because more people will recognize it over a virtual boy too. WiiU was a nice idea, but the switch is the true actualization of its ambitions, the tech just wasn't quite there yet.

Dark Horse, sit down. Okay I love you, but please, pump your breaks. You can't keep making these things and making me want them. They are too nice.

Jokes aside, I am really blown away with the quality Dark Horse brings. This one is to sure more basic and clean, but you can't deny the extras are awesome. I'm a sucker for maps and I love the BOTW map. The spirit marble seems a bit silly for the book perhaps, but I'll take it.

List date as a year from when actually expected. When it ships early, you are now just really good at delivering early.

Stupid really. Just let people do what they want with their money.

Japan sure loves its RPGs. Also keep in mind that they buy physical media much more than we do generally. The CD music industry is still a thing there, and its doing very well from what I've heard.

@SmaMan was right. People commenting here don't really understand the ethics of hacking. When a company refuses to secure a flaw in their system, you are within your rights to use the exploits found to bring more serious attention to the issue with the evidence of what you did, usually in non-harmful and humorous ways like this. In fact, this is a classic example of it.

What was done here was pretty routine. If a good person trying to help is your idea of a bad person, then you are the type that would have kept us so ass-backwards to the point that identity fraud would be rampant. The only people who can tell you what they are exploiting, are the ones who have done it. Nintendo didn't offer a reward to hackers to bring forth security issues for no reason after all.

I don't even really know what is meant by any of that anyhow. Software is a slave to the hardware that it runs on in any era. All NES games looked the same, all Playstation 1 games looked the same.

I don't know what he was supposedly getting at, if only the article's author had done a better job showing us what was said rather than a single sound bite.

Based on what they did provide, all I can say is, his game looks like a lot of games these days too, what what is he actually saying that makes his game special visually? I don't know, it is painting with broad strokes. Now, is the genre of the game uncommon? Yes, and I think that is far more important as well as the gameplay.

These days the tech is so powerful that we can play big AAA games on a portable, super thin piece of tech. Visuals are now a topic of diminishing returns, and most people don't give a poop anymore like they did during the entrenched console war days when graphical improvements came along with how much a game could actually do. These days, that isn't a real issue.

Outside of being able to render something on the level of true photorealism in real time with a legitimate city full of people and no loading screens, I don't really care. Just make a good game.

so....they just lowered the texture quality....well thats lazy.

Can't wait to see what the internals look like. Though I doubt it, I would be interested to see if they changed anything else for the better or worse. At the very least I suspect components may change suppliers.

MYCARUBA!

There is nothing about the Switch that would make its plastic behave differently from any other products. It is literally just ABS like most consumer products. It is cheap and easy to use. The problem here is that the switch design is such that if you aren't careful you will be stressing the frame. Putting joycons off and on will give it torque, if you put it in a bag with the joycons on, it will put uneven stress across the system.

The system had to use this type of material to be cheap enough to be able to make a profit like every portable game console before it. I have a box full of DS systems with busted hinges. Does this mean that the DS was a bad system with insane failure rate? No. Anecdotal evidence means nothing. Stories like this are bunk. The stories on launch day of faulty switches was bunk. Failure rate was on par with any other electronics device.

Would I pay an extra $50-100 for a console with a larger, thicker frame made of a better material to ABS. Yes, I would. However I am not the average person who doesn't think that way. They just look at price, and don't think about deeper things. Why was there a race to the slimmest laptop/notebook? It seemed better and people liked it. But those hyperthin products are flimsy by nature.

Sometimes to convince the masses to buy something you have to make some choices that are actually against their best interests.

I don't know man. If you pre-order a digital item....

Incoming mediocrity

@Nico07 yeah that is a big reason why I'm confused too. This whole thing makes no sense. I remember the aisle, it was just a huge aisle of pieces of paper you took to somewhere else where someone would go get the actual item and have you pay for it. I actually remember getting my gameboy that way specifically because I was super excited for it.

I have to wonder what went on in the store where they were leaving boxes out at all, I mean they didn't even have displays or anything either that at least I can recall. Its almost as if a customer bought it, went back into the store to look for stuff, and threw it under some oddball shelf. Perhaps a shady employee who tried to stash a copy away and retrieve it later without paying? Could even have been a matter of bringing the shipment in, and it fell off something as it was being hauled in and got kicked under shelving? I can't say for sure. But I think the fact that they didn't change or rearrange their shelving in 20 years is impressive and sad. My Toys R Us changed its layout probably 3 times or more in those 20 years.

The real reason nintendo is done with the VC and hasn't brought classic titles to the switch E-shop is that the NES and SNES classic have been too good at printing money. The N64 Classic is coming next, awkward though it may be with how many of those games have already come to the DS or 3DS in better forms in the past.

This is the kind of hacking that really isn't going to damage anything. There is almost no overlap of people buying the NES/SNES minis with people who understand how to emulate on the switch, feel safe doing so, and feel like its even worth the time. And even then, I do think plenty of the types of people doing this are dyed in the wool videogame fans and even many of them will still buy those little things anyhow.

I think the only time nintendo really cares is if you are doing something to cheat online, pirate switch games, or gain sensitive information(people's personal details from E-shop purchases) and the like.

UK price point is bad. It is like Nintendo of Europe just copy pasted the price from the US price and changed the dollar sign to the pound sign...awkward. Also having having the bestbuy GCU or amazon prime %20 off makes it actually a good deal. Keychains.....not so much.

Someone tell Darren that this is far from the first switch game with no inside cover art.

@NEStalgia #JUSTBETHESDATHINGS

Between Microsofts total 180 from the release of the Xbox1 and this kind of open collaberation with nintendo, I may actually buy an Xbox1X(wow that looks like some edgiboi's username) if the new Halo game actually gets back to being what actually made Halo great under Bungie.

It would be nice if the game got an update to make many aspects less annoying when navigating menus and if the late game were a bit more fair. As it stands, there is no room for this game to grow further since you can easily get to level 100 and NEED to because even then your mons get one shot at the end often times.

Oh well, I hope those without switches enjoy it. It can be decent enough and buying stuff with real money is really not needed.

nintendo life loves giving games a 6 so much, they even started giving games upside down sixes. SMH.

Jokes aside, it is a relief that this game is finally here.

No one liked VC anyhow. Just complaints of not enough of the games from the past and all too high cost, and in the past the lack of being able to transfer purchases from one system to another.

I don't expect anything to be different except that some games will be free through the nintendo online service itself as a bonus which is nice for those who care about retro titles. But I just don't think it matters. Either way, it has to be ported or emulated and that takes effort, and it is effort Nintendo has never really bothered much with.

I'd prefer remasters anyhow. The Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask remakes on 3DS were miles ahead of what the originals were and I had a blast with those games. I'd prefer quality remasters of good games over a slew of games as they appeared years ago.

>Switch breaks record to sell more than any other in its first year in USA

EA, yeah the switch isn't worth it. Fools.

Glad that at least one company is starting to get their workflow in order properly to get things released all at the same time.

Hmm, well I guess we will see how that goes. Some games use DLC as an excuse to not make a full product better later on. But many games are genuinely whole, but the DLC are just goodies. This is the same team from Bravely Default, and filler aside, the story, and depth of the game's job classes stood solid on their own easily, and the sequel of course just trimmed the fat and tweaked balance a bit. I think this time around we can assume this game will be robust whereas things like Starwars Battlefront EA1 was a good example of a game bereft of content that needed DLC to fix its glaring issues. Rarely these days, but there are "expanions" which in ages long ago were basically new games built within the game using the same assests and just adding more with a story that was just as compelling. Starcraft 2 is a good example there. I wish companies did those more.

Anyhow, I expect this to not be an issue and it tells me they are likely confident in their product, and I get a hint of suspicion that Square want this team to get going on either a follow up game or perhaps to make a third "bravely" game. I would only really suspect the latter in the event we get a port of the first two games to switch in a similar manner to bayonetta getting the first two ported while the third is in development.

That's just my 2 bits.

really? What a joke. Can't even be bothered to print a piece of paper and mail it out and ask for premium currency for it? Even GalGun2 is sending out free replacement art no questions asked for those who don't want the wild guns misprint on it. So lazy. Either give the image away free, or charge the coins and send it out to people.

Nintendo: Show up at E3 and don't mention AC

Also Nintendo: "Now that E3 is over, have an AC special edition 2DS for a now 5 year old game!"

R00D! >:[

everyone thought this year's E3 was really bad and underwhelming when in reality it was actually pretty good, its just those people had been ruined by rumors.

-starfield
-fallout76
-TES6
-pokemon lets go pikachu/eevee
-smash bros.
-fortnite on switch

These are among the things I knew about, and I do my best to avoid rumors and leaks, but everyone is an attention seeker on youtube and even the thumbnails and video titles ruin things for me. I'm quite tired of it all as a fan of games, but I can't avoid gaming news altogether just because news sources are begging for clicks.

Its tough and sad. In the end I'm still happy enough. E3 was good, and really only EA was a total failure, which was expected anyhow, so it was a good E3.

The last smash? No. The last smash for Sakurai, I can see that. I forsee this version just being ported and have new characters added potentially though. The heavy lifting has been done, and if the pros are okay with how it plays, I think it would be wasting dev time to start from scratch again. But I'd like to see Sakurai make something new and be on a team making a creative new IP potentially, but get this man something else to do.

I mean its a JRPG, so not really that shocking that it can last a long time if you want to %100 it. If anything I prefer it to get along with things. I honestly find that measuring a game by hours of content to be pretty crude in the first place.

young link is back. I am whole now.
