After the chris moneymaker effect poker games were everywhere. WSOP games, governor of poker, this and many many more. I think the fad has definitely slowed down, the next will be simulated fantasy sports for children. Draft kings presents on Nintendo switch Daily Fantasy Draft. Give the kids the real feel of gambling without losing money.
Weird take as I have never heard, "hey mario kart would be more fun if the art design was more realistic". I also dont look at Forza and say hey this would be cooler with a ninja turtles theme, wait wait that may be cool
Well it seemed to be very middle of the road, I havent played a borderlands game in ages but I'm also not craving it. If it comes it comes, shrug emoji yawn emoji period
Hmmmm Polish again, is nintendo making a big marketing push to Poland? Cool that they are trying to support more languages. I actually enjoyed the mario party games on Switch. Even the one people disliked
The previous tennis game was fun, the single player campaign was too short for my liking. Im hoping that this is still fun for single player. The only one that I didnt like was soccer, and I wanted that one to juat do what the previous games had done but better. Oh well
January was a month I played catch up with some previous games from the Christmas sale, beat the first Ori and played a pinball metroidvania named yuka or something close to that.
Ok 9, the misses release date of tomadachi cause I dont care about that game one bit, animal crossing question because it is a life sim so same as tomadachi, and pokemon statue price because well I dont collect random pieces of plastic
@liljmoore honestly I believe the complaints are coming from people who have had nothing go wrong in their life, it will be ok if a black bar covers a boob or johnson. In my country (usa) censorship happens all the time and we are ok we will survive. Die hard 2 on tbs in the 90s didnt ruin my life, I survived. Now if the government jails you over speech and censorship that is completely different and wrong.
Honestly gave it a 1, I dont really see life sim as a game style that I would ever be interested in. I dont do job simulator games either as I have a job.
@foursider yeah if a game doesnt have a skip cutscene button I get super bumhurt about it. Looking at you god of war...and a bunch of other games. It is one of my biggest pet peeves
@Dee123 mexico, Cuba, Dominican, Taipei. I think baseball is boring but to act like US and Japan are the only countries that like baseball is misinformed. Soccer and basketball are definitely bigger globally, but baseball has its followers.
This title reminds me of sports article headlines: "Williams scores 20 in a losing effort" What sport? Williams is a common last name? So on and so on. And you click on the article it is some random womens basketball game. Always annoys me.
Glad a game people like is getting updated, I'll probably never play it but still continued support is usually a good thing.
Also gameshare with gamechat seems super, gamechat overall is a cool idea and I think it works pretty well. Alas I have no friends
@Anti-Matter I have plenty of indie games. I just finished a pinball metroidvania, dont assume to know my tastes of games because this particular game isnt what I want. I just want a direct that has more than one game, indie game cool, AAA games cool, farming/life sims cool. Show us more games
@drykho I think the case is more that why focus on one game coming in the spring that is a life sim that many people arent interested in (and some are), when a direct with more games feels inclusive of more people's tastes. I didnt like the single game only direct for air riders either.
Pretty excited for this and brie has a nice voice, the first movie was simple but fun. Maybe a little more complex story would be nice and I thought the voice actors were good. Even Jack Black...
Maybe stop announcing games way before they are ready. Seems like a trend for video games and movies. Blade (the movie) finally got canceled. I dont need 8 years of hype either way, like give me a good solid 6 months of hype when the game is close or completed.

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's Game Boy Library With Two More Titles

Re: Baladins Is An Adorable Tabletop-Inspired Co-Op RPG With A Papercraft Aesthetic
Campaign games are pretty fun but hard to get the same people to play through the whole thing. I wonder how long the actual game is.

Honestly does this ruin or change the game in any way? Is the game still fun with a black bar over a johnson?

Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream For Switch?
Absolutely no chance I'll buy this, these style games just are so very boring to me.

Any direct that is more than 1 game is fine by me
Re: Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream Nintendo Direct: Every Announcement - How Would You Rate It?
