@SuperJoon I was just gonna say "why aren't they just adding mouse support?" but apparently they already have? Since when?

And why wasn't that mentioned in the review @Jon_Mundy?

Nice!
Now I finally have a reason to play Fortnite.

Well if Mediamarkt are putting it in their shop, it's probably genuine.
For someone like me who hasn't played AC since the first game, such a compilation for 40€ sounds actually enticing.

Yay, more mobile crapware for the Nintendo Switch!

What, they still hadn't added PvP battles up to this point?!

Wow, I hadn't seen this video yet, but it looks great!
That mode alone is an incentive to get Smash.

Nice, thanks for the info!
I was looking forward to this one, let's see how the demo is.

So what? They're not even really competing in the same market anymore.

Sony is serving the home console market while Nintendo evidently is serving the handheld market + everyone who wants Nintendo content.

That story is old news.

Well that Seth Coster guy certain doesn't speak for me.
It's pretty negligent to paint all Switch gamers with the same brush, because his assumption most definitely won't be true for all Switch gamers.

'Excited'? More like 'terrified'.

Well the Switch's contribution to those 200m registered players can't be that big, that's simple math.
Even if every Switch owner had downloaded and registered Fortnite, it would only make up 10% of the player base.
Obviously the real numbers will be lower.

Nice!
I'll stick with FM19 on PC for now though, sadly the PC version of the game is still vastly superior.

@Mountain_Man
Did you know the creators of Out of the Park actually learned their craft (yes, the series existed before, but wasn't on the same level) from Sports Interactive - the FM creators - while they were part of SI?
As a FM player, it becomes immediately obvious when I first saw a friend play OOTP. There are lots of similarities.
So maybe you should check out FM instead.

@Tullochard The text was fine and readable in FMT18.
Besides, just like in any FM game, you can scale the UI to your liking.

Not bad, but for that price I could just buy another Pro Controller...

Please let it be an HD remaster!
I'd buy this game again instantly.

Edit: Just seeing the comments above, IMHO playing Skyward Sword without motion controls makes no sense. It would take too much away from this exceptional game.
All of the battles against Ghirahim would become pointless and boring, for example.

No, motion controls have to be mandatory in SS, there's no way around it.

Yay, Art Academy!
If it's for free, I'll definitely get it.

I can't wait to get this next month!

Usually I would oppose this, but I know exactly what Aonuma means.

When I ride past the ruins of Lon-Lon ranch, it evokes the memories I had while playing OoT, while other parts might evoke memories I have from Skyward Sword.
It's all very personal and depends on which games you've played and which of those you liked. Not necessarily on those games that would make sense regarding the timeline.

BotW is full of conflicting references to all kinds of Zelda games from different timelines, meaning it can't possible bring all of those together in a comprehensible, logical way, without any contradictions.
So the only thing that makes sense is: BotW exists in a parallel universe. Outside of the official timeline.
That's the only explanation for it referencing all kinds of games from different timelines (in the main universe) with no connection to each other.

Phew, just in time, my Switch was almost falling apart. 😅

Wow, this is terrible. Glad this stuff is finally coming out.
Also glad that NL is reporting on something newsworthy for once.

Nice!

All studios should adopt this approach. It should become the new normal.

This article has 0% new content. It's not even news.

Evne though the headline suggests there is some new game content and that the article might detail what that content is.
But no, it doesn't.

Well played, I thought the headline + subheadline were suggesting the Switch version of Luigi's Mansion was already out in Japan and leading the charts...
Why do I repeatedly fall for these click-baity headlines on NL? 🙄

What good is all that quantity when the quality is lacking?
There's probably more trashy games in those 1000 games than the Wii era ever produced.

This looks ugly.

Just confirm it already!

Here's a way to boost its appeal: make it for free!

Nintendo really shot themselves in the foot with NSO. The player base in Splatoon 2 for example shrunk noticeably after the introduction of NSO. It's hurting Nintendo's online games while having no negative effect on games like Fortnite (if anything, Fortnite benefited from it).

Playing online should just be for free, period. They could call that the free plan and add a paid plan that includes all those retro games.

Yeah I got one of these about a month ago and it works like a charm!

@G0dlike Nope, Genki is the clone. This one has been around for a while now (earliest reviews on Amazon are from July) while Genki isn't even released yet. And Genki is way more expensive.

Also, Genki charges extra for a USB adapter for the Dock.
And Genki doesn't work with the Hori stand.

Didn't know Notepad++ is available on Switch...

Okay.
But the Mexican stereotype in Mario Odyssey was okay?

Why not implement that into a new company policy instead of just fixing it for one game?

Lol.
Doesn't really matter though since the Switch has no region-lock.

I don't play any games on my smartphone, simply because I don't think it's the right medium (screen too small, no buttons) and because I don't enjoy playing on the go for 1 ½ minutes.
But if Nintendo do it right - with the IP and great backlog they have - they could deliver truly unique and awesome mobile games (not something shallow like Mario Run) that would become bestsellers.
I certainly wouldn't play them, but I can see that happen.
It would hurt the Switch though, so I really wish they hadn't abandoned stationary consoles.

@impurekind The same way you did in the original, with motion controls. Or have you forgotten that smartphones have a built-in motion sensor (guess where the inspiration for that came from)? Your smartphone is basically a Wiimote with a different form factor.

Great for her. But I don't want her playing that role, she's just not a great fit for Samus.

The best part of this article was the last sentence.
At a time when everyone is doing (or considering) remakes, remasters, retro-inspired games etc., it is comforting to hear a big publisher say that they'd rather make new games for the system instead of yet another port!

They should've just made a Nickelodeon DLC for MK8D instead.

Where do you see chicken meat in the second picture? I certainly don't see it...

Please let it be true!
And please finally open the floodgates for more apps a gamer might want/need.

I'm as sceptic as any gamer (latency, possibly only reliable via ethernet cable) but if someone were to solve this problem - and utilizing AI could definitely be helpful - I could see it become the new standard.
It would work well on a platform that's basically 'Netflix for games'.

Nintendo used to run a service called 'Miiverse' which provided exactly this functionality and was very useful to find other players and get in touch with them...

Nice!

Of course I'm still playing it occasionally, there's so much stuff to do in this game!

Not a fan of Dark Souls, but I still don't get why anyone would want to play a game like this on the go...

Who ever thought trailers that don't remotely explain the game in question were a good idea?

This trailer certainly won't make anyone want to buy the game because one simply doesn't know what it's about.

What a boring, generic trailer.

Cool, I'll probably get that.

How about fixing the bugs first that make this game unenjoyable?
The game feels like the studio doesn't even have a QA department.
I'm working as a QA manager, so I know what I'm talking about. Those bugs should've never found their way into the final product!

Great, I was wondering when it would finally be released in the west.
Can't wait!

@RyanCraddock The first sentence of your article is missing a word between 'will' and 'on'.

Why not make Birdo non-binary?

Looking forward to this!

Wow, I didn't know about their original plans. Sounds quite ambitious to me, so I'd say it (not the Powerglove, the whole VR project) was definitely ahead of its time.

Even I as a strict form-follows-function guy have to say, it's definitely the most stylish gaming accessory ever created!
Would love to see something similar for current VR hardware. Then again, current VR controllers are already pretty amazing, so maybe there's no need for a glove.

Funny how several people here didn't even read the article and still think it was made by Nintendo... 🙄
