Nintendo athletic shoes confirmed?

All in all, there are so many exclusions from the list that it's not especially informative.

@MBII I found the article interesting; just because it doesn’t interest you doesn’t make it pointless.

I wonder if they’ve been taking a look at why Stardew Valley is so popular.

The last great wrestling game I played was Rock n Wrestle. It’s been 34 years, must be time for a remake? https://youtu.be/tCz4VNI6ghA

@SniperGaming Inappropriate language there.

@OorWullie You win.

I just watched the trailer. W t actual f....

I enjoyed it; I know people complained about 'twitchy' controls, but I think it's just the way the cars are supposed to control. You have to adapt your driving style to the sensitivity of the controls.

@Chayshirin Yes, Forbes are reporting the global results, which have Nintendo at #12. This article is reporting the US subset, as are Businesswire (linked from this article). I'm not sure what your point is there.

The report is carried out by the leading research organisation in the field, using their proprietary RepTrak methodology: https://www.reputationinstitute.com/why-reputation-institute

@clvr They included the link to the study on businesswire, I think that's all that's needed on a gaming website. The business-focused websites include more in-depth information, which is correct I think.

@Chayshirin

"To determine the list, RI surveyed more than 230,000 individuals in 15 countries from January to February 2019. Companies considered typically have revenue in excess of $50 billion, a presence in all surveyed countries and brand familiarity with at least 40% of the general population."

I grew up on text-based adventures... I'm definitely interested!

I’ll be buying Celeste then!

I'd definitely buy a 'pro' model; so long as the majority of games scale back to the standard model too I think it's fine. A few 'pro only' games wouldn't be a problem in my mind either, if they're too demanding for the first gen model. Better than these games not coming to a Nintendo machine at all. I know that splitting the userbase like that is controversial, but I don't have an issue with it myself. If I buy a PC game I might need to check the system requirements, and not everyone can play the most demanding games. A mid-cycle revision is a new reality for consoles!

The Pro version makes complete sense if Nintendo want multi platform games to come to their system when the next generation of consoles from Sony and Microsoft launch. The current switch will look increasingly like a kids toy console when PS5 and Nextbox launch. We don't want to be back in the era of having Petz and Just Dance as the only third party releases outside of the indies! Nintendo must have plans to manage the generation shift from the other platforms.

Sounds great; as a big F1 geek, I'm in!

@bunkerneath I imagine they'll patch any of the latest rules that aren't reflected in the sim as yet. Definately not a deal-breaker for me.

@Rafke It's not a fact, it's your opinion. That IS a fact. I think I'll wait for a review from someone who's actually played the game, but thanks for taking part in the discussion.

@Nintendo_Thumb Great point.

I imagine the price will drop once everyone's New Year fitness resolve runs out!

Shame it doesn't look like there's a Wi Sports style boxing match option, that'd be fun if the movement is more consistently picked up this time around. Still mildly tempted by this, but it's not cheap compared to all the various modes and games in Wii Fit.

@hatch They used multiple Switches in interesting ways with Mario Party Switch, so why not?

@MadeOutOfCake It’s not really relevant to Wii U remakes, but I second the vote for another Mario Strikers, the Wii iteration was great fun for local multiplayer.

I really enjoyed this game, more of the same please!

@DABYX It's not really expensive per game at that price, is it?

@Giygas_95 Yeah, really rushed off your feet at work I guess ...??

I've been enjoying the game so far; the handling takes some getting used to, so it's god if they're fine-tuning it to make the game more accessible.

Looks good, adding to my wishlist.

I like the modern take on the low-poly art style, looks good and sounds fun. I’m in!

There are an awful lot of keyboard warriors on this website who seem to have nothing better to do with their time than to criticise the content. If you feel that you could do it better, start a website or apply for a job. I imagine that the majority of readers are not interested in your constant negativity. It saps the joy from what is supposed to be a fun hobby, and must be incredibly frustrating for the content creators.

Rollcage was a blast, I’ll pick this up.

@Medic_alert I’m in the same place as you, I’d definitely pay £600 or so for a Switch Pro for the benefit of more games and portable play.

I’ve got high hopes for this... Looking good from the trailer.

I was impressed with this at EGX; definitely one for my 'buy' list.

I played this at egx and enjoyed it; definitely on my 'buy' list.

It was a really good year; lots to see from a Nintendo perspective, with indies especially well represented. A good time to be a Nintendo gamer.

Excellent, well done Ninty.

Also, anyone not being respectful in this case should take a long look in the mirror.

I'm not sure if the 20 fps is an issue in a game like this, zoomed right in. Still buying it, score seems to be very subjective on this game.

@Whalehome My point is that the single user cost is $20, and people would be going to all the effort of creating a fake family unit to try to avoid that cost.

So... people are really going to club together in little groups of 8 to share a cost of $20 for a year? It breaks down to $1.66 per month, but you'd want to spend time finding a way to share the cost between 8 friends, pretending you're a family group? Uh-huh.

I bought a boat last month, and it's hopeless. I live nowhere near any water, and this boat is almost completely useless. It doesn't move. I am going to email the manufacturers to tell them what I think of this so-called 'mode of transport'!

Nice art style.

I haven't played the first one, due to it being a mobile port, but will get the sequel if it reviews well. The first gsme must have had reasonable sales on Switch if the sequel is an exclusive.

My daughter played both Endless Ocean games for years after release, and has now secured a degree place to study marine biology at university. How's that for making a life-changing impact?

@ArcanityInc Thabks for clearing that up.

@pika677 Mr Game and Watch says 'hello'.

@shani Terrible idea for a company offering family-friendly experiences!

So, today I learned that in America 'cracker' is a term used as a racist slur, and I thought it was just something to eat with cheese. Every day is a school day. You learn a lot from these comments sections sometimes!

I had a lot of co-op fun with Affordable Space Adventures on Wii U, this sounds like a comparable experience. I'm in.

@BraveLilac I think it's often to do with the engine powering the game and the overall development environment being compatible with the console you want to port it to (assuming physical inputs etc are as expected for the game). Switch can run Unreal Engine, for example, so it makes graphical downgrades and a relatively easy port possible. If the game is created with a custom engine, and it's not available for Switch, no amount of graphical changes will make a port easy... It becomes more of a rebuild at that point.
