I think the switch pro will be tv only. We have the standard model which lets you switch the from handheld to tv mode. Now we have an only portable only model. My next guess is a tv only model with no screen. But that’s just my speculation
Got over my collecting habits as it became more like hoarding. In the I’ve kept a small hoard. And I eith buy digital or physical and trade when done. I just don’t see the point anymore.
Nearly every game has some form of update. When the shop shuts down how will you get your updates for your physical cartridge? Look at Mario tennis on switch for example stacks of updates. Physical seems kinda pointless at this stage.
He used his account on the hacked console and a non hacked system. Using his account on the hacked system breached the EULA so all his systems linked to that account were banned.
8/10 = Fanboy score. In my opinion the game is a 5/10 tops. Like most mobile games, it's fun for the first 5 minutes and then forgotten. Game has as much depth as an ants butt hole.
Nintendo probably thought it was a niche product with niche audience. Hence they thought they made enough. No one has a crystal ball and this product could have just as easily have flopped. If you make too many and no-one buys means they would lose money. Make not enough and people whine.
Amiibo does not have any value as they are now common as dirt. They won't have any value in the future as every man and his dog has a sealed collection. If you are buying amiibo for any other reason than you like them or want to use them you are doing it wrong.
Nintendo can't really win either way people will always complain. Not enough Amiibo support people with Amiibo complain that they don't do enough. Too much and people will complain about the pay wall.
It's not entirely Nintendos fault. They would have have crunched the Numbers on how many to make based on the sales of the Wii U & 3DS hardware + The number of games that would use them and how well they would. For example would their be a point in making 1 amiibo per copy of the game they print. The issue is Nintendo didn't anticipate that people who don't own Wii U or 3DS consoles are buying these figures as well. I think Nintendo should be forgiven for assuming that people with Wii U/3DS consoles would be their consumer base, these are Wii U/3DS accessories after all.

Re: Yes, You Can Scan The Shovel Knight amiibo While It's Still In Its Box
Amiibo does not have any value as they are now common as dirt. They won't have any value in the future as every man and his dog has a sealed collection.
If you are buying amiibo for any other reason than you like them or want to use them you are doing it wrong.
Re: Analysts Weigh in on Nintendo's Successes and Failures with amiibo
Nintendo can't really win either way people will always complain. Not enough Amiibo support people with Amiibo complain that they don't do enough. Too much and people will complain about the pay wall.

Re: Editorial: Nintendo's Approach to amiibo is Increasingly Frustrating
It's not entirely Nintendos fault. They would have have crunched the Numbers on how many to make based on the sales of the Wii U & 3DS hardware + The number of games that would use them and how well they would. For example would their be a point in making 1 amiibo per copy of the game they print. The issue is Nintendo didn't anticipate that people who don't own Wii U or 3DS consoles are buying these figures as well. I think Nintendo should be forgiven for assuming that people with Wii U/3DS consoles would be their consumer base, these are Wii U/3DS accessories after all.
