Ubisoft released, like what? One good game on the switch? No wonder their profits from the console are 7%... They better not blame poor sales on the console itself, because they haven't released much.
Uh, I'm pretty sure PS4 market is oversaturated with FPS and Sports games. A good portion of PS4 owners are filthy casuals who only buy Madden and Fifa. It's unsurprising that an indie game would perform better on a Nintendo console, since most of us prefer non-FPS games, and would rather play the sport outside unless it has fantasy rules.
I personally enjoyed Xenoblade 2 music more than the original. They probably had a larger budget for a greater variety of songs. For example, there's a greater variety in battle music. The original just had a few songs that repeated throughout the game. However, I love both soundtracks equally in terms of feels.
Well, Nintendo now owns MonolithSoft, which was founded by former SquareSoft employees. I honestly could care less if FF never comes back. We have Xenoblade.
Urgh, kind of irritating whenever people call laser etched cardboard, "3D printing". 3D printing involves an additive process on 3 dimensions. You print designs and cut in two dimensions to produce Labo you fools.
Normally I would be mad that consoles are considered toys, but if thought is put into it, then they really are just toys. Toys for adults that is. Look at a child play a toy, then look at an adult holding an electrical device, yeah... No difference at all.
Confusing times we're in. A competitor supporting the switch while third parties are messing up when it comes to supporting it, looking at you Capcom (supporting XBO over the switch in their home territory, are they insane?)
Everyday I check online for any stock, but always come empty handed. I'm pretty sure this shortage is causing the sales to go down for each week. The other day I checked my local walmart for any stock, but I only found a poorly managed Wii u section with switch accessories and no games. I asked a store clerk if there were any switch units available but was told that they will be getting new stock in the next few days, pretty sure those sold before they even appeared on shelves. I live in Arizona.
I was so focused on finals week that I completely forgot that June comes after May. It's only a few days away! I came here expecting to wait another month, lol.
Well with Sony and Microsoft competing in a money throwing contest to see who can get the most exclusive third party content. I predict that one of those two consoles will have a timed exclusivity deal. I doubt it will come to the switch, but I don't think Activision is that stupid.
You can't love something without supporting it. These developers that claim to "love" nintendo just don't want the wrath of angry gamers raining down upon them.
The last time Nintendo put a touch screen on a rectangular device people were comparing it to the iPad. "So, it's an iPad for the Wii?" That's right folks, think pre-E3 2012 Wii U. Will it be a good idea to showcase a feature that pretty much every device out there has? No, no it wouldn't, everyone knows what a capacitive touch screen is, no need to advertise it.
There are people out there that would prefer that Mario Kart Deluxe, Splatoon 2, Xenoblade 2, and Super Mario Odyssey be launch titles, but Nintendo knows that they must spread it out over the year to maintain momentum. So, clearly some people just want Nintendo to fail by asking that of them, for releasing everything at once leaves nothing, and eventually this leads to a drought...
That's a smart move, trial period for people to try out Nintendo's new online service, then paid subscription relying on word of mouth from people who used it. People who complain about this, shouldn't have asked for it in the first place.
Well, the pollution in China certainly warrants concern for the health of its citizens, for exercise in the region will increase cases of lung cancer, and their government certainly does not want people questioning their habit of ignoring the problem.
I think it's worth mentioning that the rumor of a delay came about due to localization, so japan will probably get the game at launch. Corocoro is japanese, so...
Is it really fair to blame Nintendo for self-entitled IOS brats that spend hundreds on micro-transactions, but can't even shell out a one time payment of ten dollars?
You there's something fishy going on when Media Create bundles PS4 models, but keeps the various 3DS models like the new XL and old XL, 2DS, and new and original 3DS separate. Sony fans if you ask me, 3DS is certainly outselling the PS4...
I can say with about 85% accuracy, that if Mass Effect Andromeda releases on the Switch, I will certainly buy it on the Switch. Otherwise, EA lost a potential costumer since that's the only non-nintendo series I'm interested in.
Well, this does make sense. When the Wii U was released, Nintendo made the stupid mistake in releasing the Wii mini, and keeping Wii production alive. This combined with poor marketing and dumb customers thinking that it was an upgrade that naturally bought the cheaper Wii mini, and later discovering that Wii U games didn't work on it, led to what we have today. The switch being the only Nintendo console out there will certainly boost its sales.
Honestly, if Xenoblade Chronicles X's massive overworld fit in the Wii U's less than 2GB available for games, then I'm sure 4GB is plenty for another Xenoblade sequel. Which is really the only game (aside from Pokemon)I'm looking forward to, if my icon didn't already give it away.
facepalm Standard is not equal to maximum, nor minimum. I don't see why people are pissed about this and making assumptions that this size will be enforced on 3rd parties. Nintendo doesn't even use the entirety of the 25GB that Wii U disks have, so it's obvious that in order to cut costs, Nintendo made the switch's cartridge variable in size, so they can adjust as needed.
Those IR sensors are probably that gesture trademark we saw earlier, allowing for multitouch gameplay while the console is on the dock. Or they could be areas where such a device is attached to and function like the circle pad pro for the 3ds did.
At this rate my prediction that handhelds release in spring, and consoles release in the fall will come true. The handheld portion of the nx releases in five months, and the console portion releases in the fall. (Look at 3ds release, and Wii U release)
I'm guessing releasing information a year and a half before release is a mistake they learned from. I.e, xbox tablet compatibility and ps4 & vita compatibility following shortly after wii u information release is something nintendo wants to avoid this time around.

Re: Super Bomberman R Is Coming To Rival Systems With Exclusive Characters
Nintendo needs to pull an EA. Buy Konami, dismantle them, and abuse their IP. Although, Nintendo being Nintendo, it will probably be a good thing.
