@SlimeKnight Why not Monster Hunter XXX with Segura Kagura crossover?

@darkgamer001 Games at Japan are sold at a bit of a premium, usually 7-10 dollars more after the exchange. Maybe that difference can cover up the difference between the Switch cards.

@roadrunner343 Yes, that's what I'm saying regarding the streaming. Thing is Nintendo is so behind the times that either they flat-out deny access to the Switch or it will work behind a pay-wall. Mark my words.

@roadrunner343 The only issue I see with all these is the possible developers that have invested in a Switch programming team or that have already developed games for the Switch that have a counterpart in the PC (like Doom) since people could hold off buying the Switch version. Nevertheless you got to have a powerful PC to do this stuff and I can't imagine many Switch users who happen to have such a powerful PC.

Also, I could see Nintendo asking a fee to PC developers to allow their game on the Switch, behind curtains.

@HawkeyeWii Easy. Imagine taht you have a PC and that you are tired of playing games in your 24" monitor and that you want to play them on your 65" Smart TV. You usually connect your PC to your TV with an HDMI cable and set the input to that connection on the TV.

Now, instead of using a HDMI cable, imagine that you can use Wi-fi. Should the TV company ban you from using the TV for that? I don't think so.

Another example: you use your Switch to connect to a website and play some flash games. What's the problem with that? It is the exact same thing: you connect to your PC and play the game on your Switch that is running on your PC. The Switch acts like a wireless monitor that sends your button presses/input to the game on the PC.

@matteus You can customize your car in several ways. There is a track editor. Uses the 3D effect.

Want me to continue?

@DarkEdi You got that right!!

@adh56 There are 50MM 3DS owners that don't own a Switch.

@PlywoodStick I was a teacher for 17 years (I still teach once every moon blue, to a Master's degree program). I wouldn't be allowed to receive such gifts. Maybe a coke or a bag of cookies or something like it. There was once this very rich student (his father owned one of the three largest companies in my country) surprised me by bringing me the trunk of his car full of groceries that his father's company made (crackers, cookies, several canned foods). I was a really poor teacher (it was 25 years ago) but I refused. After he passed my subject, he offered i again, but again I refused. I didn't want to tarnish his reputation (as well as mine).

@SimplyCinnamon53 A friend lost 3 fingers in a freak accident. The hospital told him that he had to shell out 15,000 for each finger. He didn't had the money, but for one, some of its friends paid for a second one. Now, he only has 4 fingers on his right hand.

In my country (I tried to convince him to come here), its a Third World country, but with a little cash, maybe 5,000 dollars, he could have bribed a doctor to get him first in line and have its three fingers sewn back.

It's mind boggling. Then I remember that Apple is 30 times bigger and I'm so glad that I bought 3,000 of their shares when they were at 13 bucks, 20 years ago.

@Freek I'm really glad is a Third Person Shooter game: watching Jill from (her) behind on a leather pants never gets old.

@GravyThief Around 240 million units? Don't think so. I'll (delightly) surprised if the Switch sells more than 80 MM.

Must have!! Chun-Li's looks so awesome!

@LUIGITORNADO :"there is time", you meant.

Well, if you are dead on the ground, you can't reflect on anything...

@JaxonH We have around the same amount: 453 DS, 121 3DS, 86 Wii, 37 Wii U, 2 PC plus like 40 PS3 and around 20 PS4 (son's).

Add to that around 250 digital games (mostly 3DS and PC games).

That throbbing penis-shaped heart made my day!! (the boobies one also).

The only thing ridiculous about this is that is not coming for the New 3DS XL or the New 3DS! I want one!!

@Alexprime It is a bit unfair. Nintendo knows the ins and outs of the Switch, had a lot of time to get Breath of the Wild right and was initially developed in a less demanding hardware, the Wii U.

Nintendo cherry picks who they help in getting their games to be their best. I remember one developer talking about how they help him, on the Wii U, bring a 15% increase in performance in a single afternoon.Of course, it was a AAA game.

Just a minor quibble: the use the word point when its clear that score is a better fit.

If the old guy had an alien barrel at the end of its banjo, it would have been more interesting...

@gurtifus Does it look like a penis? Balls and all? Or I'm just a sick puppie?

@nhSnork Is one of the reasons keeping me from buying a Switch for my daughter. I finally took the DVD player from her room, as Netflix has all the movies and programs she likes, but still have a cable box (which is gonna be out of there in 2-3 months) and a Wii U, where she can game, watch Youtube (over my watchful eye) and Netflix.

And it doesn't costs Nintendo much: the capability was there and Netflix said on record that they had everything readied for lunch, just needed a call from Nintendo.

@Nincompoop That seems about right. But if Sony and Microsoft see Switch as a threat, they might push the envelope a bit farther (Microsoft did it with the Xbox One after getting a hold of the PS4 specs) just to make sure that developers have a hell of a time downgrading to Switch Lite.

Nintendo could double the specs in processor and graphics power in 2 years, without raising the price for a Switch Pro.

@rjejr That'll be a dream come true: "Switch tablet" for 99, a pro controller for 70 and a inexpensive charger for 20. If they do that, I'll go for a couple of them.

@dystome One of the highest costs in making and delivering products is the storage cost.

I think is way over too optimistic to produce that many Switches, which is about a fifth of total Wii sold and twice as many Wii Us sold in its lifetime.

Maybe Nintendo has closed some deal on AAA titles (like GTA 6 or something as big) that we don't know about. Or they are already working on Mario Odyssey 2 for release on X-mas 18.

@gcunit Yes, the same can be said about lots of games, including FIFA, Doom, the excellent Etrian Odyssey line of rpgs, etc. We want the complete spectrum of gaming experiences, but when a truly one comes along, we find it too niche and punish it for it.

@KirbyTheVampire Exactly. Why the had to shoehorn the game on a Halloween list? Because it was recently released?

This speaks volumes of the NL staff integrity, IMHO.

@LegendOfPokemon Well, at least Luigi's Mansion 2 is not: I broke a 3DS Xl playing it nonstop (specially the multiplayer, which is fantastic).

@Steel76 It reminds me of Super Mario 3D Land, down to the color palette.

@Kalmaro There have been even less family oriented games for Nintendo. take a look a fricking Bayonetta 2 for crying out loud. Or the Senran Kagura games.

It seems that either you are a hypocrite or you just hate Nazis getting killed.

My wife couldn't understand my love for the DSi. She's not a person that could be spend hours upon hours playing a rpg, or even something like Nintendogs (she doesn't like pets much), let alone games like platforms or brawlers or the sort. Also, she is not too much on exercising but when the Wii finally came to our house, she was sold. Wii Sports was a bit extenuating for her, but cycling in Wii Resort (and the occasional kendo fight with my son) were her (almost) everyday distraction. That was one of my happiest time as a gamer, but then she got sucked up with the likes of Candy Crush on her mobile and never looked back.

Here is hoping that the Switch can come up with a game that will unite us again as a gaming-family!

Like almost every day, I'm gonna do some Pokemon Shuffle.

Also, Lovers in Dangerous Space Time (on my PC) is gonna get some love!!

@Ultimategamer132 You are nuts if this patch only took 3 weeks to make it.

Had the game come out later than the Xbox One and PS4 versions, Nintendo fanboys would have riot, so I think taht they took the lesser of 2 evils.

@Shiryu To be honest, I do also raise a brow now and then regarding the in-game-purchases of some games, specially mobile ones. I was surprised to read that most of the income for several mobile games come from a very tiny perentage of gamers. Some of them usually spending 500+ a month on said games.

In the other hands, games like this one and specially GTA use a lot of currency, but you can get by easily without spending a dime (besides the cost of the game): my son has been playing GTA V (with me riding shotgun) for 24 months and there is no sign of running out of things to do. I'm surprise. SO, if this special edition allows me to play 2x or even 3x the usual length of teh game, I'm in.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE It is almost the same with every big developer. The only thing that hurst a bit is not having Beyond Good and Evil 2, but if you look at EA, they offered even less to the Switch audience (just 2 games, that are already out) and even Bethesda could have say something about Fallout 5, but I guess they want to test the waters with Skyrim and Doom.

There are economics at play and Ubisoft simply went for teh easy stuff to please Switch owners.

@XenoShaun Yes, no conspiracy theories please.

Which is telling of Nintendo: why on earth you didn't give SE a proper heads-up regarding the Switch? Its baffling specially considering all the support from them in so many games for the 3DS.

@Kalmaro They said: "the development was way ahead when teh Switch was announced". Blame it on Nintendo for not giving Square ENix (really Nintendo?) a big heads-up.

Also, if it were to come later on the Switch, then there will be a flock of fanboys arguing why there wasn't a release at the same time as other consoles. (this happens everywhere: I read some PS4 owners trashing Cuphead because it was not coming to the PS4 since it was a Xbox and PC exclusive).

@QwertyQwerty Not anytime soon: look at sales of Dragon Quest Xi (almost 2MM).

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Your thoughts (and of those of the guy in the video) echoes my experience with the joycons. He has big hands and so do I, and went I tried them up, first at a friend's house and then at a game store (yes, the have one for people to play around), i found them to be uncomfortable small. I think that they need like a centimeter on each end to start feeling OKayish. Holding it sideways was a nightmare: my hands on the underside were touching each other all the time (and not in a good manner).
Also, the buttons feel a bit damped or mushy, not clickety at all. That did surprise as Nintendo has produced so many controllers that are top notch (I love my Wii U controller). However, for me is not that much of an issue: already bought a Pro controller and it feels, shape and size wise, even better than the Wii U one, and the buttons have a very nice clickety feel and distance (I mean, the distance they travel when you press it down). Also, my daughter has small hands and I don't see an issue with the buttons for her as she doesn't know better.

Finally, portability is very important for me so, yes, I will yield and buy a Switch. Soon. I promise.

@Nincompoop You might not be far from the true: on Steam, 202 reviews only. Probably means like 1,000 sales.

@ThatNyteDaez The competition is fierce at Steam. I usually only buy when they have a sale, and with 50 bucks I usually acquire more than 10 titles. Last week I bought 2 incredible good games (Lovers in Dangerous Spacetime for 6.80 and the Darkest Dungeon for 10?). One is on the Switch and the other one is coming to it in the near future. Both are excellent games but I bought them because I saw them first here, not at Steam.

They have a sale of 380+ titles at the moment. Compared to the 20+ titles that Nintendo puts up every week (usually games that have been on sale before) and, yes, on Steam is much more difficult for a game to gather any attention at all.

@geox30 That's exactly what I said. You need to learn to read better, I guess. Period.

@geox30 Nintendo fanboys need to take a break and value FIFA18 for what it is: an excellent game soccer that includes portability, with less modes than other versions that run on more powerful hardware. Period.

@sillygostly 800 hours!> You meant 8,000 hours, right?

I'm about to give up myself (about 20,000 hours, because no matter how well you play, RNG will screw u over.

EDIT: Forget what I wrote. It is 800 hours and I have put in like 2,000 hours.

@sillygostly Well said.

BTW, you gave up on Pokemon Shuffle? Haven't seen you around...

@OorWullie Of course he doesn't own it. FIFA18 lacks the mode but has the portability. I said that's an excellent compromise.

Those that are whinning about non parity would have never buy the game regardless of modes or content. That's how Nintendo fanboys roll.

@Anti-Matter Stop, you are making me hungry!!

I love root beer (my favorite beverage, specially vanilla-flavored) and Japanese-inspired food is my favorite also (I lived in Japan for 3 years).

@SwitchVogel You have been busy lately: I read three articles today and every one was made by you, including the Axiom Verge review. Keep it up!
