Re: Nintendo Teases Microgame Mayhem In Wario's Upcoming Switch Release

Very unfortunate if that really is true, there's a lot of potential still left on the table, especially for something like WarioWare. I'm sure the game will still be great fun, but I had hoped that more games would make use of the joycons features as a central focus instead of just making everything for the lowest common denominator.

Re: Soapbox: Without A Dedicated Handheld Division, Is Nintendo Less Weird?

Hmm, well frankly I don't know if you can really blame anyone for the situation at hand. Most of the quirky and niche games on Nintendo's handhelds were made by 3rd parties, not Nintendo, so I don't think Nintendo is working at a lower capacity. However they could absolutely commission more games from smaller companies, which they are already doing, but they could do more of that. Also, since the switch is a HD system developers have to put in way more work for games on the platform, at which point they'd rather just make multiplats, and those that would make games for the Switch(like Atlus for example) still have to get adjusted to HD development and make some transitions, which don't always go well.

At least these are problems which will hopefully lessen as time goes on
