@Dev-N We are all getting old when time starts to pass by so quickly... :/
@N00BiSH While we won't know what would he do if he was around, I don't think Nintendo is heading down the wrong path given the circumstances nowadays. It was a very different world back then when Iwata was still around...
@Mauzuri Hard disagree at saying Xbox is a better system this gen but you are entitled to your opinion.
In terms of exclusivity, it really depends on what type of games the person likes to play. But Xbox's exclusives have been flop after flop among critics till Starfield.
"the FTC has been attempting to argue the Switch is "very different" to the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 - suggesting it's not really part of the same market by comparing its technical capabilities, with lines about its frame rate and how it compares in terms of GPU teraflops."
I think the FTC is right in this case though. Stop using click-baiting headlines please.
The silent protagonist works perfectly in Zelda games.
Between main characters in action games chatting constantly to themselves (hella annoying) nowadays, I really don't mind Link not talking given his personality.
@PinderSchloss It's 10min of like 3 gameplay mechanics. Calm down.
They said nothing about story and the world yet. Of course, you could argue that it's cuz they have nothing else to show for. But it could be they are taking time to reveal things.
@AtlanteanMan Until you actually learn how many charity organizations function, then you will realize that corporations, especially running well like Nintendo, are the least rotten apple and screw over the least number of people.
2022 has SO MANY AMAZING games that I'm not even through half of my must-play games.
The game that has surprise me the most is Pokemon Scarlet. I didn't even plan to play it when it was released but it turned out to be 1 of my favorite Pokemon games, if not the favorite.

Re: Sale Predictions Remain Unchanged Despite Switch 2 Price Concerns
If the console and games are good, people will still buy it regardless of the price.
No one who's buying a game console will be counting that extra $100 or $200 to pay mortgage or get evicted. LOL.
Re: Get Ready For Okami's Sequel With This Bargain eShop Sale
@Sequel Absolutely. I have it on console and PC too but Switch is the best.
Also, cutscenes can be skipped on Switch.
@Chibi_Manny This is a spinoff and it's not produced by Hideki Kamiya.
Re: Video: Ratatan, A Rhythm Roguelike From The Team Behind Patapon, Scores A New Trailer

Re: Feature: 25 Things You Might Have Missed In The Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom Reveal Trailer
@B_Lindz Same! It just looks soooo charming, fun and adorable.
Re: Talking Point: Would You Buy A Digital-Only 'Switch 2'?
I'm not a collector of physical games and I've already got a digital PS5, so I can see myself getting a digital Switch too.
But I also see why many people won't get digital-only console.
Re: Hideki Kamiya Is Leaving PlatinumGames
Wait... what? Isn't Kamiya = PlatinumGames?

Re: Ratatan, A Rhythm Side-Scroller From The Team Behind Patapon, Is Officially Heading For Switch
@Neph It's the original developer of Patapon who's behind it.
@MrCookieCrisps the Kickstarter is from the original developer of Patapon.
Re: Ratatan, A Rhythm Side-Scroller From The Team Behind Patapon, Is Officially Heading For Switch
I first saw the announcement on PS and was thinking that this is a perfect game for Switch. SO glad to see it's happening!

Re: Zelda: TOTK Playtimes Start To Appear, And Some People Haven't Been Getting A Lot Of Sleep
I've been sleeping like 4 hours a night because of TotK. :/ I'm hoping to catch up on more sleep this weekend.
Re: Zelda's Tears Of The Kingdom VA Took Inspiration From The Hit HBO Show "Game Of Thrones"
@DaniPooo I have a hunch that it's because she sounds as if she's on the brink of tears every time she opens her mouth.
I like how her voice sounds but it's a little too melodramatic.
Re: Random: Oops! Nintendo's Doug Bowser Makes Amusing Zelda Typo On Twitter
@Browny Freudian slip!

Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
@OrtadragoonX As much as I love the narrative, Hogwarts Legacy is nowhwere near a trainwreck, especially on consoles.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
I've pre-ordered it though I stop pre-ordering games for many years.
Got the physical copy even though most of my games are digital.
So ya, this game is very special to me.
Re: The Super Mario Bros. Movie Breaks More Box Office Records Around The World
Nintendo really understands their audience and players. They know we just want pure fun in such movies and games and deliver.

Hogwarts Legacy phenomenon. LOL.
Re: Talking Point: Which Nintendo Franchise Should Illumination Tackle Next?
Animal Crossing.
So much potential there because there are many distinct and well-loved characters.
Re: Talking Point: Should Link Have Voice Acting In The Next Zelda Game?
The silent protagonist works perfectly in Zelda games.
Between main characters in action games chatting constantly to themselves (hella annoying) nowadays, I really don't mind Link not talking given his personality.
Re: Poll: What Did You Make Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom's Final Trailer?
The music, the gameplay, the characters and there seems to be a decent story this time!
And Zelda in short hair is hot. XD
Re: Super Mario Movie Secures Most Successful Opening Weekend For Any Animated Film, Ever
@FishyS The critics totally missed the point of this movie. It does exactly what it sets out to do with flying colors - fun for all ages.
Re: Poll: What Score Would You Give To The Super Mario Bros. Movie?
9/10. It's not perfect but pretty darn close. THE best video game movie that I've seen so far.
Re: Poll: When Will You Be Watching The Super Mario Bros. Movie?
Definitely watching this in theater but not when it's just out. Too many kids around.

Re: Round Up: Everything Announced For Nintendo Switch At Nacon Connect 2023
Gollum is strangely interesting. I hope they make good use of the refreshing take on the LotR world and character.
Re: Poll: Would You Pay $70 For The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
I have no problem with the price of the game as long as it's well-made and no MTX.
I rather spend $100 to get 1 good game than 5 $20 mediocre ones with lootboxes.
