I remember watching a manga artist on YouTube, and he was specifically saying that making the thighs barely fit shorts and adding shine is like a textbook method of making a girl look sexy in manga/anime. So yeah... I'm not sure I believe them.
Why are they all cancelling their Wii U releases now and not months ago? Stardew Valley, Yooka-Laylee, this game, and it's certain that Bloodstained will follow.
@jimi According to VGChartz, Metroid Prime 3 sold around 1.8 million copies. Other M, it sold another 1.4 million. I wouldn't really call them "flops".
@khaosklub Eh. I had played Super Metroid before. It was glorious. But years later, when I played Metroid Prime, I thought it was the greatest transition of a gaming series from 2D to 3D. Didn't even feel like I was playing a different game. This was still as Metroid as it could be. Almost 15 years later, I still believe that.
Eh. Adding Gen VII Pokémon could potentially cannibalize Gen VII itself. New Pokémon are among the main reasons people are buying the games. Plus, adding Gen II Pokémon could tie to the eventual release of Gen II on the 3DS Virtual Console, which could come even sooner than Sun and Moon.
@KoopaTheGamer Who doesn't wish that? But still, the games we've got for the system are great, and plenty. I'm very satisfied with it, unlike the Wii U.
As an unbiased European, I feel "offended" by the change itself, and not by the original content. At the very least, the Native American costume was a lot more unique.
I'm still seeing people on the Internets being confused about this, so once more: Story of Seasons is not the same franchise as Harvest Moon anymore. The Harvest Moon franchise is now fully owned and continued by its former publisher (and the "Harvest Moon" games have REALLY taken a dive in quality since then), while the series' original developers have rebranded their games as "Story of Seasons" in the West. Thus, Story of Seasons IS the real continuation of Harvest Moon, even if it isn't named as such. If you want the good old Harvest Moon you've known and loved, you should be getting the Story of Seasons games instead.
And what does power even have to do with The Binding of Isaac? How is that even an excuse for not releasing that particular game on that platform? I'm pretty sure the game's not very demanding, a downgraded port even runs on the New 3DS, which is much, much weaker than a Wii U. I don't know if the Wii U is much more powerful than a Vita or not, but I know this is BS.
@Nintenjoe64 If it makes you feel any better, the stories between those games are completely unrelated, as far as I'm aware. You don't need to play the first game in order to play this one. It's more like a spiritual successor than a sequel.
With this update, this game is starting to look like a very decent Minecraft alternative. I will definitely be buying it next month when they release the patch. :+1:
@Squid_Gangster Uhhh... what are you talking about? With 20 bucks you're buying the game. And if the project is cancelled, or they don't manage to raise the money, you're getting a refund.
@dizzy_boy ...so? This is ridiculous. It's not an excuse. This is still the parents' responsibility. Parental controls can easily lock down all internet capabilities. This same thing could have happened through any online social medium, including all the websites accessible through the 3DS' and Wii U's web browsers. Things like hardcore porn, gore, and interaction with shady, perverted people are just a Google search away. Give me a break.
I get it that Nintendo didn't want to be involved in any of that, because they probably believe that would hurt their "100% kid-friendly" image. But still... they've screwed their mature audience so many times I've lost count by now.
I've heard people saying that the reason Pokémon games don't have a screenshot feature was to prohibit people from posting inappropriate content on Miiverse. Like nicknames and such. But firstly, if that's case, why do they now allow this app, which can potentially post inappropriate pictures?
And secondly, there's a freaking report button on Miiverse. It's there for a reason. Same goes for the voice chat in Splatoon, and the removal of Swapnote. Parental controls can lock down a hell lot of things, if the parents desire so. I don't understand why Nintendo feels the need to be so strict do the parents' job.

Re: PowerA Is Releasing A Blood Moon Zelda Controller For Switch
Looks like an ugly bootleg controller.
Re: Review: Super Mario All-Stars - All That Glitters Isn't Necessarily Gold
@Brutchie-bear I've always preferred the remakes, yeah.
Re: Sword And Shield Are Now The Best-Selling Pokémon Games Since Gold And Silver
The Pokémon community simply deserves the decadence.
Re: Red Dead Redemption 2 Contains A Nintendo Switch Controller Image
Most probably just controller support on PC.

Re: Nintendo Files New Patent For Hinged Joy-Con Controller
The real news here is that on the second image we see a Switch with smaller bezels.
Re: Early Mortal Kombat 11 Switch Impressions Sound Promising, 60fps Is The Target
@nintendolie Nah, I don't think so. Not even the Vita version of Mortal Kombat looked like a PS2 game, so I think you're safe.
Re: Super Turrican: Director's Cut Comes With With Every Analogue Super Nt Console
My, my, I approve of this new trend of developers going back and touching up their old games and re-releasing them to the public.
Re: Super Mario Run's Big Update Has Started to Go Live
@Kalmaro Magisk.
Re: Review: Metroid: Samus Returns (3DS)
@Anti-Matter Nintendo needs to see those 10's flying, or we're getting the next 2D Metroid in 30 years from now.
Re: Poll: Six Months of the Switch - What Do You Think of Nintendo's Console Hybrid?
I find the concept really cool, but I'm holding off to get the inevitable upgraded/improved version of it.
Re: Atlus Is Bringing Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology to the West in 2018
@Jim_Purcell They confirmed the Western release of those as well!
Re: Review: I Am Setsuna (Switch eShop)
@invictus4000 Yeah. With emphasis on the first syllable and NOT the second.
Re: Even When Under Pressure The Nintendo Switch Isn't Too Hot To Handle
Well, they've vastly underclocked it for a reason...

@vonseux For you, Synbios, it will.
Re: 3D Platformer Clive 'N' Wrench No Longer Leaping Onto Wii U

Stardew Valley, Yooka-Laylee, this game, and it's certain that Bloodstained will follow.
Re: Rumour: Yooka-Laylee Might Be Released in April
@retrogamero Well...

Re: Rumour: Yooka-Laylee Might Be Releasing in April
@Moms-Meowth As good as it might turn out being, I don't think you should be expecting that much from Yooka-Laylee.
Re: Nintendo Confirms That Upcoming European Release of F-Zero X is the 60Hz Version
Uhh... This should have been the case for ALL European Virtual Console releases, not just F-Zero.

Re: Analysts Expect Nintendo NX Reveal by Early October and Make Bold Super Mario Run Predictions
"Analysts" expected an NX reveal during TGS too. What happened to that prophecy?
Re: Metroid Prime: Federation Force Flops on UK Debut
@locky-mavo It's the game that will probably kill Metroid for many years to come. Hell no, I'm not letting this go.

Re: Metroid Prime: Federation Force Flops on UK Debut
@Grandpa_Pixel I'm sorry this had to be your first Metroid game. Because it is not a Metroid game.
Re: Nintendo Shares The Best NES Nostalgia Photos From UK Fans

Really? Pretty sure I can see a Master System below his NES
Re: Capcom Announces a New 3DS Game That Uses Japanese Travel Cards
Making your game a New 3DS exclusive sounds like a recipe for destruction.
Re: Talking Point: Pokémon GO's Next Major Update Should Target Gen VII Pokémon
Eh. Adding Gen VII Pokémon could potentially cannibalize Gen VII itself. New Pokémon are among the main reasons people are buying the games. Plus, adding Gen II Pokémon could tie to the eventual release of Gen II on the 3DS Virtual Console, which could come even sooner than Sun and Moon.
Re: Poll: Which Nintendo NX Games Do You Want to See in the Launch Window?
Metroid Prime. Freaking Metroid.

Re: Pokémon Snap Comes Into Focus for Wii U Virtual Console Release in Japan
I wonder if this is going to be controllable with the Gamepad's motion. Probably not, but still.
Re: Random: New 3DS Owner Replaces the C-Stick With a PSP Stick

Re: Tomy Seems To Think Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice Has Been Delayed For A Second Time
You might as well cancel it. Nobody's gonna care.
Start treating this franchise with the respect it deserves.
Re: Bravely Second "Tomahawk" Costume Change Confirmed For The West

Re: Bravely Second "Tomahawk" Costume Change Confirmed For The West
@Octoling What part of it makes sense? Because for me, it clearly doesn't.

While I hope this would be on the 3DS, this is most probably for the NX.

Re: Sega Sorry That It "Betrayed" Fans, Hopes To Win You Back With A New Game Announcement This September
