@iLikeUrAttitude is that bad? For me it's super good because I don't have an Xbox and if the rumors are true then there are now many more games I can play
I woke my 5 & 7 year old kids up at 11:20pm so that they could go to the midnight launch with me. We had a blast. I took the next day off work and we played Zelda, Bomberman & Snipper Clips! Turns out the real value for me has been taking it on work trips and playing on the plane & in the hotel
I bought a 200GB card at launch. Unfortunately, it was getting fullish so on Black Friday I bought a 400 GB card (which had been too expensive when the Switch launched but not now) so hopefully the price of bigger ones will come down significantly before I actually need a bigger one
@KingdomHeartsFan @Sandro89 @Mogster I know I'm late to the party, but I'd like to chime in. I bought a Wii U on launch day and I bought almost EVERY SINGLE AAA game on that system. They are AWESOME games, and I dumped a lot of time and money into it. That being said, I'm one of the people begging Nintendo to port more Wii U games. I sold my Wii U to help finance my Switch addiction and I want to play more Xenoblade X & Wonderful 101 and I'd be more than happy to pay $60 each. Yes they're selling a 5 year old game for $60, but that price is a discount compared to what I paid. I bought NSMBU for $60 and NSLU for $20 (I paid $80) I very much enjoyed the game and I am not up for paying $60 again, but if it ever makes Nintendo Selects I'd love to buy it for$20. I loved DKC:TF on Wii U, but I'm hoping to buy it in the $30 price range on Switch so I didn't pull that trigger. MK8 I bought in both systems and it was cheaper on Switch because it came up the DLC AND a legit multiplayer and you can now hold 2 items. (I bought 2 copies on Switch so that my wife and I and 2 of our kids can all 4 play online together) and I don't regret it. If you're mad about the ports be mad at someone like me because I'm buying some of them and I'm begging for even more. Don't be mad at Nintendo, believe it or not they're actually pumping out new games faster this gen then they ever did in Wii U.
@Paddle1 you're right! I somehow forgot about that. I finally remembered when something triggered my memory of levels where you have to kill Yoshi to win
@AlexSora89 I didn't say wait for a sale. I said every game I know I'm going to like and I know I won't want to sale (as in I'll keep forever) I buy digitally because it's so much more convenient
@AlexSora89 why would we boo you? Any game I'm sure I'll want to keep and not sale I buy digitally (unless physical is significantly cheaper) it's just so much more convenient
@rockodoodle I went the opposite direction. We wanted multiple Switches to play Splatoon & Mario Kart online together as a family so I sold my Wii U (which I loved) and we own 3 switches. We played both games online together quite a bit 3 player Splatoon & 6 player Mario Kart. I don't quite regret it as we have had a ton of fun... But I assumed the only game I would really lose was Nintendo Land, but I'm no longer feeling as sure about that. At least we'll have Mario Maker again soon
@OorWullie I'm with you there. If an indie studio (WarGroove) can give players the ability to chain levels into a full gave with story then there's no excuse for Nintendo. (Although if I'm honest I'll buy it either way. I LOVED the original)
This is my second most wanted Wii U port (Xenoblade X being #1) I sold my Wii U, but I would gladly buy the Switch version of this game to be able play it again. The demo for this game almost convinced me not to buy it... It was an awful demo. Fortunately I decided to go for the gamble and I LOVED IT
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (I just made it to the final boss so I'm hoping to conquer it today).
NBA Playgrounds 2 (my wife & I are loving the free new content they released this week)
Splatoon 2(going to play Splatfest with my wife & kids... Might as well take advantage of owning 3 Switches)
Ys VIII (gotta have an action JRPG going so if I finish Xenoblade I'll start Ys VIII)
Is anyone is wondering, THIS GAME IS GREAT! I bought it and took it to Thanksgiving and ALL the adults loved it. My wife and I still play it 2-3 nights a week instead of watching TV. my son (7 years old) also enjoys it.
@cyrus_zuo I haven't played Playgrounds 1, but I can tell you that defense is critical in Playgrounds 2. You'll never win a title without good defense not even on Rookie difficulty
@Scottwood101 my wife and I play this together. Yes the commentary makes us laugh. What's cool is you can switch between several commentators so we'll switch them every month or so and it really helps keep the game fresh!
I bought Civ VI and NBA Playgrounds 2. I absolutely love both games and I’m glad to hear that Civ VI is selling well (hopefully Playgrounds 2 is also selling well)
@thesilverbrick you assume that if they had set the goal at 15 million they would have still achieved the same 17 million where I assume they would have sold LESS because they would have had a lower goal and they wouldn't have work as hard to try and eek out everything they could in an attempt to hit that 20. If they set a goal of 15 million and sell 15.5 million THAT'S WORSE than setting a goal of 20 million and selling 17 million regardless of what idiot investors think
@thesilverbrick it's not any different. The average person (employee) once they meet this slightly lower goal, shoot as soon as they feel certain that they will meet it, they slack off. Nintendo's management is wise to keep setting high goals. It keeps people pushing and not relaxing.
@thesilverbrick for the same reason I don't set low goals for myself... It doesn't help you reach higher. High goals promote hard work and creative thinking!
@nhSnork I am going to buy it. I've also never played another Ys game before but I asked several and it doesn't matter you can fully enjoy this one without the others
@mcdreamer You're playing Xenoblade 1 & Xenoblade X!!! I'm very jealous! Those games are awesome as long as you have enough time to really get into them
@MisterKorman @marandahir @boxyguy @1UP_MARIO @Lizuka @The_Legged_One @Orin41 @Orin41 @Aozz101x @Muddy_4_Ever well guys, looks like several of you have experienced or ideas that suggest it might be fine. That's good I'd rather be wrong than right here
@MisterKorman @marandahir @boxyguy @1UP_MARIO @Lizuka @The_Legged_One @Orin41 @Orin41 @Aozz101x @Muddy_4_Ever one of you guys that are saying that this is perfect for mobile will have to help me understand how the controls will work because to me it sounds awful! I can see tap the screen to rotate and swipe down to drop but trying to quickly align it perfectly by swiping sounds hard
@mikegamer what you do with it is up to you, but me personally if I buy a game that comes with a code for a second game that I know I'll never use I'll sell it and cash out (or at least give it away to a friend's) before letting it go to waste

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 2nd)
@Balta666 interesting. I've never done new game plus not even on the original Xenoblade Chronicles (my all time favorite game) maybe I should try it
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 2nd)
@Balta666 is XC2 as fun the 2nd time as it was the 1st time?
I'm with you, I'd LOVE Xenoblade X on my Switch!

@jolteon23 YES!!! Xenoblade 2 is incredible! I just beat it 2 weeks ago

Re: Talking Point: Is The Remake Of Zelda: Link’s Awakening Worth $60?
I bought this game on my 3DS 2 years ago for $6. No way I'm paying $60. At $40 I'd consider it. It $30 I'm there day 1.
However, if they do this or they did A Link to the Past on GBA where it came with a 2nd new multiplayer game I'd consider it at $50
