Im betting this isnt even gaming related. With Octo expansion out this summer a new mode or additinnal content beyond that seem redundant. Splatoon anime all the way!! The manga already exists...just a matter of time.
I hope someone from Nintendo looks at online reactions this time around. They just CAN'T pull another NES Mini fiasco and under supply. They're betting the farm on the Switch and the rumored 2 million launch supply has me worried. I'd say over all the buzz surrounding it is above average and they need to flood the market with it and games. In the first 3 months I shouldI be able to walk into any Walmart, EB Games, Gamestop randomly and walk out with everything I want. No waiting lists or hunting down where might have it. I'm already sold on it but to succeed more than the faithful need to come back Nintendo's way.
Yes the AppStore has become that bad. Have you seen any of those 99 cent games they used to have? Cut the rope...Where's my Water? Remember those? Super fun, short but worth the 1-2 bucks. Look at the free section of the app store now.....hardly any games. Snapchat Instagram and Facebook dominate.
Im so happy i visited this site. After reading dozens of asinine reviews and complaints on other websites and the Apple store I was getting really frustrated with the gaming public in general. I seriously started thinking 1/2 of gamers were wieners. After coming here I realize all the people doing the complaining are the same group of people (mobile only gamers) who have allowed the rise of "free to play" which led to the crapification of the AppStore. The people here obviously "get it". And by "it" I mean the value of a quality game and the reasoning behind Ninty's decisions with its mobile strategy in general and Mario Run specifically . Nintendo, rightly so, doesn't agree with free to play and is trying to re-introduce pay for play. And I trust Nintendo with my $10 without hesitation. They even gave us the 1st 3 levels to let us see if it lived up to Nintendo's standards, which it thankfully does. I happily paid knowing I'll be playing this game well into the new year. Mobile gamers really dont understand the dollar value of a game like their console brethren who gladly pay $70 for each game. Unfortunately this actually is a case of hardcore (console) vs casual (mobile only). Hardcore gamers seek out quality games and are willing to pay for it regardless of platform. Mobile only gamers have never seen real quality games because they aren't willing to pay more than a dollar at a time. I guarantee anyone why has spent even $10 on candy crush or clash of clans are the same people who wont pay for Mario Run. They just dont get "it". We do. So keep supporting Nintendo's mobile ambitions. they're the only ones even trying to drain the AppStore swamp.

Re: Talking Point: What Approach Should Nintendo Take With Its NX Reveal?
Id like to see a combination of a traditional press event but combined with an instant availability like Apple does
