The best Mario game as a pack-in is good for those lifetime sale stats. Anyone picking new to Switch as this point are likely to pick up Mario lart anyway. The map packs have been nicely advertised and will continue to be.
@Torakaka @Lizuka All this stuff was done at the time of the base game. Don't pay for something that was carved out to grind money out of you. Should've been included.
@KBuckley27 There's no excuse really. Most people who want a Switch in Japan already had one. It's closers to the end of its lifecycle than Ps5 is, obviously.
and as expected, every version of the game is now even more broken, and they have introduced the premium skin shop, where everything costs blood money.
Gameloft repeated their history of crap. Do not buy this game.
Generally, I want to see more of Zelda throughout the games. She's the title character, and often she's reserved for the beginning and end, with small glimpses in the middle.
While I enjoyed piecing together her story in Breath of the Wild, I would have enjoyed seeing her more in the present part of the story.
Skyward Sword does a decent job, because it sets them up in a good way, but there's not that much development throughout, as it's mostly a chase until the last few parts.
Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, is one of my favorite games of all time, and my favorite 2d Mario. I only wish it was as colorful as its level design and music.
If you're thinking of playing Link's Awakening DX, just skip it and do the Switch remake instead. The additonal buttons for item control simply makes it a way superior version.
@IronMan30 Nintendo sits with more money in their pockets through voucher purchases than they would from retail after every part of that supply chain gets a cut.
@AlexHarford One of the reason for layoffs in the above mentioned is also because of terribly planned aquisitions or initiatives that fall flat on their face. See Google Stadia, MS Azure etc.
Nintendo has the benefit of being a video game company, first and foremost. All their emoployers are there to produce something ciritical in their pipeline.
Nintendo makes money and is still good profit per share for shareholder. If you're a longtime holder, with belief in their next console, you understand that Switch has peaked.
@Dylansuxx Spoiler: it's all for nothing and the game will shut down with no way to maintain what you bought. Mobile games are not preserved. They are use and dispose.
If you did it on a credit card you might still be able to do a chargeback.
@FredsBodyDouble They've restarted it more times than Skull & Bones, why stop now? Burning money to keep themselves warm, burning the company to the ground.

Re: This Is What The Pokémon Bank 3DS Shut Down Update Looks Like
@DiamondJim You don’t think the passion and effort shown in Scarlet/ Violet was enough for thr fans to see their appreciation?
Re: Poll: Six Years On, Which Was Nintendo Switch's Best Year So Far?
2017 is when the stars aligned, and is the reason why we're here today. Probably an accident.

Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Version 1.2.0 Is Now Live, Here Are The Updated Patch Notes
@Zach777 This burn was so hot, I could feel it through the screen.
Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet DLC, The Hidden Treasure Of Area Zero, Coming Later This Year
@Cronodoug They already bought it. 🤷♀️🤷
Re: Disney Dreamlight Valley Gets Another Update Early Next Week
and the Switch version will still crash randomly. Do not buy this.
Re: Call Of Duty Will Run As You "Would Expect" On Nintendo Platforms, Says Microsoft
Don’t care for COD, but I can appreciate that it’ll be there for Nintendo’s next console.
Re: Japanese Charts: Tales Of Symphonia Remastered Makes A Solid Debut

Don't try to trigger console wars
Re: Peppa Pig: World Adventures Gets New Globe Trotting Gameplay Trailer
@LouBlu08 it's the same argument people make for broken Pokemon games
Re: Peppa Pig: World Adventures Gets New Globe Trotting Gameplay Trailer
@LouBlu08 They are the publisher. They have full control of the games.
Also, it being a kids game is not a valid excuse. Kids deserve better games.
Re: Peppa Pig: World Adventures Gets New Globe Trotting Gameplay Trailer
Outright Games makes crappy games with barely any content and try to take advantage of parents with little knowledge of gaming.
No one should ever buy this crap for their children. They're better off without, and you won't support the cycle of crap.
Re: Rumour: New Switch Bundle Featuring Mario Movie Bonus Supposedly Launching "Soon"
@mariomaster96 Pleeeeeeeeease. It's the only 3d Maro I haven't played.
Re: Review: Kirby's Return To Dream Land Deluxe - A Suitably Dreamy Encore For One Of Kirby's Best
Forgotten Land was awesome. That's the type of game I want more of in the future. Not buying this.
Re: Talking Point: What Is The Best Special Edition Switch Console?
I accidentally ended up with the Smash one.
It does not matter. Do not buy a new console because of stupid colors.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 18th)
Finishing Minish Cap this weekend, I think.
First time playing, and it's great!
Re: Super Mario Bros. Movie Runtime Seemingly Revealed
@RushDawg Nay. The specific plastic toy and crap for this movie is what will give them the most profit.
Re: Feature: Super Nintendo World's Show Producer And Head Chef Shed Light On The New Park's Development
As a european that doesn’t really like theme parks, I still cry a bit inside because this is so far away and crazy expensive to reach:
😭😢😪
Re: Super Mario Bros. Movie Runtime Seemingly Revealed
92 min toy commercial. Please let me be wrong.
Re: Soapbox: As A Colour Blind Gamer, I Can Now Finally Beat Metroid Prime
Your teacher was a moron.
Glad you could beat Prime.
Lovely to see all the positive reaction to the game from people who haven't played it before.

Gameloft repeated their history of crap. Do not buy this game.
Re: Splatoon 3 Reveals Expansion Pass Wave 1 Launches Later This Month
All of this should be on the Nintendo Switch Online + expansion pack subscription.
Re: Feature: Rating The Best Zelda/Link Relationship In The Legend Of Zelda Games
Generally, I want to see more of Zelda throughout the games. She's the title character, and often she's reserved for the beginning and end, with small glimpses in the middle.

Tears could be interesting, but we'll see.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis Of Metroid Prime Remastered
Depite the low resolution, the art direction is so great, it doesn't really matter.
Re: Video: Here's A Closer Look At The Mario Movie Toy Line By Jakks Pacific
This is where the real money is made; on super cheap to produce plastic crap, sold at premium price.
Re: Super Mario Bros. Movie Shares New Posters Of DK & Bowser, Here's A Look
@ChaoticKirby Holy crap
Re: Super Mario Bros. Movie Plumbing Commercial & Website Launched
When the commercial is better than anything from the actual movie.....
Re: Poll: Which Character Would You Like To See Return Next In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe?
I’d rather have a custom grand prix option with customizeable settings.
Re: Limitless Coal Is Finally Returning To Disney Dreamlight Valley
And no news on performance improvements for Switch. I constantly see this in the eshop stop selling list, despite hearing it runs like crap.
All the other console versions are locked at 30fps right now to prevents crashes.
Re: Every Nintendo Switch Online Game Boy (Color) Game Ranked
Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, is one of my favorite games of all time, and my favorite 2d Mario. I only wish it was as colorful as its level design and music.

Re: Nintendo: $70 USD Won't Be A Trend, Games Priced On "Case-By-Case Basis"
@AgentGuapo All the FOMO items are free money from their most devoted fans. Terrible.
Re: Nintendo: $70 USD Won't Be A Trend, Games Priced On "Case-By-Case Basis"
@IronMan30 Nintendo sits with more money in their pockets through voucher purchases than they would from retail after every part of that supply chain gets a cut.
Re: Yes, Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Costs $70, Collector's Edition Announced
Nintendo would of course ninja do this.
My local retailers will compete it down to 50e at launch anyway.
Re: Nintendo's Share Price Takes A Hit Following Latest Financial Report
@AlexHarford One of the reason for layoffs in the above mentioned is also because of terribly planned aquisitions or initiatives that fall flat on their face. See Google Stadia, MS Azure etc.

Re: Nintendo's Share Price Takes A Hit Following Latest Financial Report
Nintendo makes money and is still good profit per share for shareholder. If you're a longtime holder, with belief in their next console, you understand that Switch has peaked.
Now on to climbing that next mountain.
Re: Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Surpasses 20 Million Units Sold In Just Six Weeks
Whyyyyyyyyyy
Re: Video: MVG Checks Out "Awesome" Update For GameCube Emulator On Xbox
@Yosher It'll be there for the next console, but N64, Snes and Nes won't be, so they'll drip feed in the opposite direction.
Re: Square Enix Planning "Multiple New Titles" And New IP
They need to publish fewer and better games. So many weird half-arsed titles with Square-Enix labeled on them.
Re: Nintendo Improves Switch eShop's Search Function With Small QoL Update
Nintendo should just hire the guy who does Dekudeals and let him do his thing. They'll sell more games. Everybody wins.
Re: Quiz: Are You Ready For Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom? Find Out With Our Fiendishly Hard BOTW Quiz
Uhm, Botw didn't have full voice acting, only in selected scenes? Wouldn't full voice acting mean that every single line of dialogue was voiced?
Re: Monster Hunter Rise Sales Surpass 12 Million Units Worldwide
Cool. I can't get into Monster Hunter, but great to see its success and fan reaction.
Re: Mario Kart Tour Welcomes A Brand New Course In Piranha Plant Cove
@victordamazio Does it have real multiplayer now, or fake multiplayer still?

Re: Mario Kart Tour Welcomes A Brand New Course In Piranha Plant Cove
@Bunkerneath I know. I just don't understand why people pay for mobile games
Re: Mario Kart Tour Welcomes A Brand New Course In Piranha Plant Cove
How does this mobile crap get so much content?!
Jelly.
