Used to own the charchoal one but now own the cool ice blue varient. And 2 controllers.
Together with 20 games was the best deal i made in my life for 20 euro's.
2 times mario 64 (lol) Banjo-kazooie. Dk 64 Kart 64 Oot Jet force gemini And some other classics i cant remember, bundled with the usual EA fifa shovelware
But the staggering amount of games i own makes me a collector.
Own over 80 games on the switch, and 100%ed about 60 of em so far.
Ranging from witcher 3, to diablo to splatoon to smash, to octopath to twewy, the zelda's and the mario's.
I dont however buy every game, skipped pikmin, 2d mario, tropical freeze and others for diverse reasons, such as difficulty being to low, game not interesting me or owning it on wii u.
I'd say square, nintendo and bandai are the 3 devs / publishers i own most games from.
One buyers regret being snake pass, not cause of it being bad but cause it didnt hook me persee
@AbejaGrande what a great rebuttal, that really stung, ouch. oof. kablam!
calling me a douche doesnt change the definition of to promote and that in the end you were simply wrong.
go grab a dictionary and read. might proof beneficial for your feeble mind to advance and prosper and even be able to not try and disproof something without doing some research. it took me less than 10 seconds to look up this definition of 'to promote'
Examples include contests, coupons, freebies, loss leaders, point of purchase displays, premiums, prizes, product samples, and rebates. Sales promotions can be directed at either the customer, sales staff, or distribution channel members (such as retailers).
there are different definitions for what it means to promote, advancing in rank, awareness and yes even bringing attention to sales
Unlike the smash discussion which i stand behind, this is sad to see. Especially as someone who suffers some ptsd and mostly play nintendo's games simply cause they give me that, 'feel good, enjoy yourselves' vibe
Hopefully nintendo understands the backlash and atleast donates some themselves.
Dissapointing is quite an understatement in this regard
Both kimishima and furukawa hail from the banking world and pokemon company.
Even Iwata had close ties to the pkmn company so that is a non argument tbh.
Furukawa is extending the line Iwata and kimishima said.
We will not know what this president is up to fully yet. Prob not next gen either as they will simply go for switch 2.
The generation after that is what will make a true deciding factor.
Also to suggest a game company wouldnt produce games or slow down on purpose is silly.
Maybe in release scedule they might. But they will always work on games as that is their income.
Its bad business if you stop production cause of a few good years which can turn around fast.
Suggesting that shows that no one here knows business or game design even.
Gotta remember.
A ton of ps5 games are prob alrdy ready or close to being rdy.
A pandemic wont stop what has alrdy been worked on for years, most projects from sony and Microsoft probs Alrdy finished a few months backs and are being worked on till release for now.
Nintendo has been in the middle of restarting development on some franchises and should be close to finishing up on others while being in the middle of others.
Zelda and mario come to mind on being close to having their sequel released.
Optimizing games should still be possible if we understand nintendo' s and Microsofts wording.
What comes after is what will really affect development. Building an engine is impossible to do now. Level design and enemy design / animations will have slowed down heavily for example as it will have to go through several members of a team. So lots of delay in those kinds of things
Tbh i always go for the hardest difficulty in games, thats where my fun is.
But yh i love to spend hours getting better and if you dont have the time, easy mode is the way to go.
Looking at it from a reviewers perspective. Often times you come across a game you dont like. Or its just objectively bad. Dont want to spend hours through a ***** game your gonna give a 1-5 score anyways so yh easy mode is again good for that.
Dont get the story part though. There has not been a story in gaming that is atleast better than a b-film smth like sharknado. Stupid fun but not rly smth you wanna dissect as a 'story'
And didnt even mention ppl who cant make certain tricky moves in quick succesion due to disability/ injury. Again easy mode helps with that.
hmm might have read the question wrong.
figured it was based on first party output not persee third party's.
agree with you on the n64 being the worst case for nintendo in terms of third party support.
only now are they gaining support back, even from company's who never supported nintendo in the first place, or havnt since the ds times, really.
gotta add though, kinda sour square supported microsoft with full kh before nintendo, esp microsoft getting dq now, which is great for them, but a big slap in the face from square
wouldve figured we gotten full square support by now, guess not
Using a review site that is funded by several high profile devs and even has their game adverts on.
Yh no thanks not rly reading reviews anyways from either critic or user on big profile high funded games .
Cant say for all sites. But running an advert on your site for a game your review? smells like an unhonest review anyways.
Critics usually also look for different things in a game.
Tlou2 and paper mario would be more heavily judged on their story and less on gameplay. While 3d mario and splatoon would for me be heavyier judged on their gameplay. As that is how developers intended the games made
Presentation is Nice and all. But i can still enjoy a fun gameplay, great story and lesser quality Presentation.
But even if a game has the best possible presentation ever, if the game isnt fun to play or doesnt have an interest story would be a waste nonetheless
you know its bad when bethesda has way more support for the switch than ea has.
tbh idc anyways, i dont buy any EA game anymore on any platform, havnt done so for years, and they havnt rly given me a reason to do so tbh.
launching mass effect 3 for full price to later release a complete trilogy same price on other consoles? gee i wonder why EA doesnt get nintendo fan support

Re: Reggie Admits Switch Was A "Make Or Break Product" For Nintendo After Poor Performance Of Wii U
@nocdaes
The point not being about money, but consumer trust.
I wouldnt have bought the next nintendo system if the switch turned out to be a wii u repeat and a lot of other people would agree.
It already happened with sega before.
Nintendo wouldnt go out of buseniss, but would be a third party conpany at that point.

Re: Rumour: Pokémon Diamond And Pearl Remakes Will Be Revealed For Switch Next Month
@westman98 prob comes down to the animation variety then, the pokemon just seem more alive.
But tbh to be expected.
This is prob the engine where mp4 was based off, before it got cancelled.
This game is obv easy to recap a failed project and this project in terms of monetary gains.
Cheaper to make, easy to make money off as its the pkmn ip.
Investment could be done solely on animations and the world around it in i'd assume 2 - 3yrs of dev time.
So yeah bandai would want to make the game look very appealing

They decided they didnt want code altered in melee so they could play online, which is fair.
Re: Square Enix Announces NEO: The World Ends With You, A Sequel To The DS Original

We know kariya was the senior in twewy
Edit: idk why everyone is crying for the switch controls, they work perfectly fine, can easily do a 100% lvl 1 run on ultimate.

Happened with docks aswell as some 3rd party adapters.
They dont play Nice with eachother as switch has a costum usb-c frequency.
Any other will fry it.

Re: Talking Point: Are You Prepared To Spend $70 On The Latest Games?

Re: Nintendo's Directors Earn A Relatively Modest Wage Compared To Other Industry Execs
Atleast we can feel good about liking nintendo and how they handle their staff.
No lay-offs
No overpaid ceo's.
No crunch
Can Also look at sakurai who bought tons of equipment for ssbu dlc team in these times.
Can probs see the same thing happen within nintendo.
Sure it can be deducted as had returns and they would pay significantly less than normal consumers.
But it still speaks of how they want to provide the best enviroment for their employees.

So yh.
+more directs to come.
Prob easyier to make 10min directs and not full blown one.
I half expect another direct this week having said all that.
So we'll see
Re: Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase Airs Later Today
Obv its 10mins of bakugan.

Re: Nintendo President Apologises For Joy-Con Drift, Can't Comment Further Due To Ongoing Lawsuit
@Dethmunk @grot
Well obv the % is untrue and said to drive home a point.
But it is suspicious that everyone i know all has had their joycons drift.
Sure can keep sending em back.
But after 3 times? Yh f that.
Never had problems with any nintendo system up till this point.
Snes, n64, Cube, wii.
Gb, gbc, gba, ds, 3ds.
Note that i left out nes and wii u.
Wasnt alive during the nes era so cant confirm that.
But the Wii u was the first sign of me seeing how nintendo makes lesser quality products.
It might not be on purpose the way they brought out the joycons.
But not really offering a solution for them after a high failure rate in my experiences and in my friend circle is bad.
And it all comes down to a design flaw.
Re: Guide: How To Fix A Drifting Nintendo Switch Pro Controller
Have had 0 problems with the split pad pro and all 3 limited edition pro controllers (splatoon, xenoblade and smash).
Have not used my joycons ever since i got em back for the third time and drifting again within a week.
Happy to say this isnt as widespread as the joycons.
Also work well on pc

Re: Nintendo President Apologises For Joy-Con Drift, Can't Comment Further Due To Ongoing Lawsuit
@Grot there is a difference with doing their job or having a controller fail 95% of the time.
stop defending nintendo with a shoddy product.
if they build their controller competently, we wouldnt have to send em back to em in the first place.
my snes, n64, gamecube all are still in working condition, controller and all.
Re: Nintendo President Apologises For Joy-Con Drift, Can't Comment Further Due To Ongoing Lawsuit
my original joycons went back to nintendo 3 times and are back to drifting.
luckily the daemon x machina joycons dont drift at all, atleast
edit: for those saying just clean it, it works for like 10 mins or doesnt work at all still after cleaning, its a design flaw
