Dk64 was 3D. Super different than dk country.
That didn't answer the question dang nabbit! >:(
I'm getting a win u soon.maybe..
If the Wii U makes it that far :O
Zelda will likely be one of Nintendo's last releases for U. Just like Zelda for Wii
Hyped
Totally buying a Wii U in January. Super Mario 3D World, Bayonetta 2, Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Bros, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, The Legend of Zelda, Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem, Star Fox, and Xenoblade Chronicles X.
Why January?
Also I'm getting all of them as well.

I'd buy one now if Christmas wasn't coming but I have to buy gifts for like... seven or eight people.
Not interested in Pikmin 3, ZombiU, Wonderful 101, or Yoshi Yarn. Donkey Kong is a maybe. I know nothing about Project Giant Robot.
I was forced to post here.
So did anyone get Smash U? Enjoying it?
Gotcha
I know you want to make the Nintendo thread active here and all.....but dont TALK TO YOURSELF YOU WOMAN :O
Nah I didn't want cone to bother replying to my first point and I'm too lazy to edit posts.
Also I quoted you!
I'll be getting a WiiU within 2 weeks from now. Cant wait :)
Don't you mean two months from now?
I was forced to post here.

I'm getting my WiiU and my games tomorrow ;)!
Cant wait especially since Sat will be my off day :D!

But won't you be busy watching the playstation experience?
Am I suppose to watch that? I was under the impression that you'd watch it & then post all about it ;D
Oh I'll be doing that too, but we'll also be doing a live chat hangout while it happens.
Anyway, there was a report from nintendo today. Though it isn't translated yet.
http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2014/breport_m1409.pdf
What google could give us(which wasn't much) is that Tomodachi life is at like ~2M shipped worldwide, and Hyrule Warriors is at like ~1M shipped worldwide.
We need it translated before we can be sure of this. So now we wait for someone to translate it.
Good numbers for both.
I was at the store the other day playing Hyrule warriors and it exceeded my expectations. Might end up getting it myself.
But won't you be busy watching the playstation experience?
11 AM PST?

err.....11am PST? I wont be able to watch it live cause I'll still be at work lol.
Post the updates/news for me :O
No it's Sat during your day off :)
Amazing.
I hope to get Hyrule Warriors sometime next year alongside Bayonetta 2 and NSMBU/NSLU.
Still no translation on that report? What is taking Siliconera so long?
Who?
I (hopefully) get to play Smash Wii U tomorrow!
It will be glorious.
You playing it at a friends house?
They're technically coming over here, but yeah. Should be fun!
And a new translation proves that the only thing we got from this report was Tomodachi Life's numbers.
EDIT: And smash bros 3DS.
Maybe we'll get new numbers at tga?
I just got my WiiU and my 4 games :O!

Still rearranging my room with all my game systems intact.
Also charging up my Gamepad.
What about now? Is the system still updating?
I just barely finished rearranging lol
I had to unplug my gamepad and I just only re-connected it :x.
Everything is swell now.
I have my WiiU next to my PS3 with my Wii above them - my gamecube is on the opposite side of my Wii and my PS2 is on the opposite side of my WiiU and PS3.
My N64 is on another cabinet hibernating next to all my other game systems mentioned above and my gaming laptop is above my N64 :P.
All my portables (GBC, GBA, NDSLite, 3DS XL and PSP) are all in my other room where my gaming desktop, printer, scanner and my external harddrives are at.

You have a very big shelf / entertainment stand ;D
Also, you have 2 rooms? :o
Yep I bought a huge stand - my HD TV is in between my Wii and my GCN :P.
Yes, I have two rooms.
The first room was the room I originally used to sleep in but I turned it into a study/secondary room - it houses my Gaming Desktop, printer, Scanner, a dresser/drawer which has clothes and all. It is also where I put my portables in and where I game on PC - also where I am posting from at this moment :P
The second room used to belong to my grandmother but she passed away back in 2003. We mainly kept the room as a prayer room (although we now mainly pray in our living room now) and left it unused but now its the room where I sleep in (my bed was placed in the room) and is where my gaming systems and my Sony Bravia TV is :D.
Why do you have your gamecube, Wii, and Wii U all hooked up at the same time? You can play Gamecube games with your Wii and Wii games on your Wii U. You can have a set up of Gamecube/Wii U or Wii/Wii U. I say Wii/Wii U since Wii component cables are easy to find.
Sounds like a pretty sweet setup you got there 8)
Why does your TV still have the energy guide on?
Lol Why?
Here's a pic ;D
(dont mind the walls, they need paint - its a old house afterall xD)

Doin updates and mah current WiiU collection ;P
(http://i.imgur.com/V4jEwfN.jpg)
Your Wii U library is bigger than my PS4 library already!
I only have Destiny for now. I already beat & sold inFamous & The Last Of Us R though
:o
Why you sell games!
That was some good Zelda footage.
Agreed.
Loved the waypoint marking system.
However it did look kinda "raw." I was glad they reconfirmed the 2015 release.
I keep hearing people say it is an empty world, but they need to realize 2 things.
1. This game comes out late next year(I say late because Star Fox is coming out before it), they have plenty of time to work on it.
2. Aonuma said at e3 that you can run into boss-like monsters anywhere on the field. So keep that in mind when the place goes empty.
Also, just imagine.Spoiler for Image:
This map=One area of Xenoblade X
It wasn't the empty world that got me, but the empty off screen graphics. If the game looked better, you'd think they'd show a direct feed. Also from off screen it seemed to lack detail. Appeared to need more world geometry like rocks and stuff, hence it felt like an early glimpse to me.
I hit platinum status on Nintendo Club again thanks to my WiiU and its games :D
Now I wish NoA would just....put some GOOD physical rewards ;( ..... I want dat yoshi plushie T.T
Edit: I am loving mah WiiU *_*!
TLoU has great MP though!!
I'm a filthy casual gamer (that also goes on forums for some reason)
If it's a multiplayer focused game, I'll keep it. If it's a single player driven game, I sell it once I beat it so I can get some money back :)
TLoU has great MP though!!
So, you played it finally 8)
Yes and I started playing at 8pm my time (during the Game Awards halfway or so) - When I got up to stop from playing it was 3 am XD.
Good thing today's my off day lol
(I still woke up early though to play Smash :P).
Did you play Smash Bros the whole time? I wouldn't blame you if you did, SSB is always one of the top games every generation
I played Mushroom and Flower Cup on MK8.
Showed DK to my parents since they love Donkey Kong :p
Played MP with my parents a bit on Super Mario 3D World.
Then played the rest on Smash. Did classic mode with Link + Mario and did a few 8 smash and 4 player smash against CPUs *-*
Just watched Zelda U gameplay... I was just telling a coworker(who just bought a wii u) that Zelda will be the only game that gets me to consider a wii u... I'm so dissapointed. It looks like crud. Animations look bad. Controls look clunky. World looks empty. And I'm pretty sure I noticed frame rate issues.

and Uncharted is a year out as well. I'm not expecting that to get much better than shown but itll probably get better than Zelda is respectively.
Well they still have a year to go so hopefully for the best ;o...
Also the visuals remind me of Skyward Sword and they were great as is, so cant wait *-*

Zelda better fill in that "massive world" and work out those lame clunky controls.
I'm hyped for both games :o

...they are motion controls in Zelda U
Speaking of controls - cant be as bad as Skyward Sword's motion controls.
Anything beats motion controls.
if they were trying to avoid anything there are easier ways to go about it than that very unnatural demonstration
You could tell in the video they were trying to avoid stuff. Remember at e3 when Aonuma said huge monsters can appear anywhere on the map?

no, to aim the bow.
You mean swinging Sword, I didnt see that in the trailer.
Besides how would you do that with a dang gamepad o.O
Zelda was the only game I played on my Wii. I regret buying the wii because I should have just borrowed the system from someone. I love Zelda.... I don't know how anyone can be excited for what the showed.
Kinda funny you say this, my friend is hyped to no end... with Link doing nothing but riding Epona in an empty world...

I played through the whole thing. But the controls just turned me off to the Wii. I actually didnt know there were two zelda games on it till last year. And thats all they showed. Might be more. Also, the stupid waggle to swing a sword. It was stupid.
Did you play through the whole game or just the beginning? lol
You havent even played the best game on Wii then D:
TP was great but it was pointless to get it on the Wii since the GCN version was available and you didnt have to use the awkward motion controls.
Thats it? I rather have this feature than having to swing something just to do a basic attack like on Skyward Sword. I take this as an improvement over what SS had. hype x100 XD.

Patcher wasn't wrong when he said Nintendo fans will buy anything from Nintendo, even if Ntntendo's next console was a cardboard box. They'd even go on to praise Nintendo for being innovative by making them use their imaginations instead of making games.
Zelda games are always up there with the best games of their respective systems, but I can only name a couple of times that they were the best game on the system. The SNES was beat out by Super Metroid(barely), Gamecube was beaten out by Metroid Prime(and a few others), Wii was beaten by Xenoblade Chronicles(and a few others).
I semi-agree with this in the case of TW101 and the upcoming Splatoon (which could end up being good maybe) but not all Nintendo fans are like that you woman!

Speaking of splatoon, what do you guys think?
Imo it doesn't mesh with the Nintendo universe. The art style is fine, but the character designs seem wrong. Because of this it just feels like a small game Ninty is making to try and please some people, verse their next big huge ip next to donkey kong and samus.
Gamewise it seems ok but a bit too bland. I think I'd get board after a few matches.
Splatoon looks like an indie title that all the nintendo fans make fun of the ps4 for having but are excited for it. Also looks like it would get old fast(er than titanfall. Yes, I went there) and if it's multiplayer than in a few days/weeks it will be hard to find matches.
but do you make fun of indiestation4?
I'm not excited for it.
Also it has a single player campaign unlike Titanfall.

I disagree (especially with Metroid for SNES but that is another discussion :P - due to the existence of the NDS Zeldas - I really really did not enjoy mainly because of their choice of control. The fact that they made 2 Zelda games play with touchscreen controls was a really bad idea. I can deal somewhat with motion controls but touchscreen.....really?
Looks like its worth $10 and I'm not even joking.
I agree, the gameplay looks bland and it does look like a low budget game, i.e. a Nintendo Land mini game reject that turned into a full fledged game.
I'm not hyped up about it and will wait for it to be in the bargain bin before buying it.
They could of used the visuals and the design (along with all resources) to make a Super Mario Sunshine 2 or a HD remaster of the GCN ver imo but were pressured into making a new IP because the gaming mainstream media/internet pressured them for years saying they dont have any new IPs ~_~.

Oh I wasn't even considering handhelds when I said that.
I wonder if it started out as a SMS spin off? The ink mechanics at the core are pretty similar.

No problem, I've played Phantom Hourglass and really was turned off from the motion controls, the first time I've ever started a Zelda game and just stopped playing mainly cause of its controls (btw this is coming from a guy who played Legend of Zelda 2 on NES xD).
Don't worry, I'm probably the biggest Zelda fan on this site, and the DS games were the bottom of the barrel. Spirit Tracks being better than Phantom Hourglass, but still a bad zelda game. An okay game, but a bad zelda game. PH is probably the only zelda game I wouldn't put in my top 100 games.
I'm probably the 2nd biggest :P
but do you make fun of indiestation4?
I hate Nintendo, but am too afraid to leave them.
Probably isn't hard. I'm guessing we don't have very many on this site.
I wouldn't call myself a Zelda fan but I don't recall playing a Zelda game I didn't like.
Lolwat? PS4 already has more indies than WiiU has had, I'm sure. And loads more on the way for PS4 than the U
I've never heard Nintendo fans making fun of PS for indies. They have the same amount of indies on the Wii u so it would be hypocritical.
Afraid of what? Having more games to play regularly?
I hate Nintendo, but am too afraid to leave them.

I wasn't trying to make it into a competition to see who has the most indies. I was merely saying that it would be hypocritical.
I honestly wouldnt spend a dime on indies on home consoles....especially at the price their going for.
I love Indies on PC because you can find them dirt cheap through bundle sites and mad salez on Store Fronts :P
That's because most of the indies on PC suck. Well most indies in general suck.
The good ones are completely worth $20 and up. Journey, Unfinished Swan, Anti Chamber, VizionEck, etc.
Do you guys remember how all the nintendo fans were claiming nintendo was intentionally lowballing fy numbers so they can smash it and look good to investors and raise stock? Yeah... How many times did i get ban from slapping them with reality?

Tp was the worst Zelda ever! I'd rather play two for a month straight with my eyes held open by paper clips. That's saying a lot because I absolutely hate 2.
TP was my most fav zelda ;(
I honestly believe that if Nintendo comes out with a console that can be close enough to the competition in power, adopts the same general control scheme as its default, builds a more robust online infrastructure, and does more to give itself an image with more of an edge by having more adult oriented titles like Bayonetta while still offering the old warhorse franchises, they could really be a force in the next generation. Considering that it seems the handheld market is almost sure to be swallowed up by smartphones and tablets, it's probably in their best interest.
I don't think so. I think Nintendo is seen too much as a kids friendly and mature unfriendly brand to really change that around, especially over say one generation.
Not necessarily. If Nintendo comes out and reveals a new console with a bunch of edgy titles and a different kind of presentation they could pull it off. It just depends on how much work they put into it.
That wont happen with the current leadership.

The only way Nintendo can compete is with an "innovation" to differentiate it from the other consoles. This innovation must be something hot, not something like a tablet controller...

Hehe they'd need to spend a shitton of money to buy the XBox division and all its IPs. I mean, Minecraft alone costs 1B! Buying the Xbox division would probably be the death of them.
Nintendo's family image is super valuable. They'd be crazy to try and change that.
Instead they need an additional brand that's focused on mature games. Say they buy the xbox division. Nintendo makes a beefy system but they still make family games like they always have. Then they have xbox devs making halo, gears of war, fable, etc. These games are released exclusivly on Nintendo systems as "XBOX PRESENTS" or something like that. Problemsolved.

That was a pretty good Direct!
- New Fire Emblem announced for 3DS
- New 3DS coming on February 13th, along with MM3D
- Xenoblade X footage shown, coming 2015
- You can now download certain Wii games for the Wii U. The first, Super Mario Galaxy 2, is up now. These are half price (£8)
- Splatoon has multiple different types of weapon and a plaza, coming May
- New Amiibos coming in the same time, will be used with Mario Party 10 which is due in Spring too.
-Codename STEAM is coming in March; moreover you can use Fire Emblem Amiibos as characters in game.
Those were probably the biggest seven things from the Direct. More here: http://uk.ign.com/articles/2015/01/14/heres-everything-from-todays-nintendo-direct
Nothing too exciting, then :( I don't think I'll ever get a wii U
Not even for Zelda and/or Xenoblade?
You know I wasn't going to get the new 3DS, but dang that Majora's Mask 3DS is gorgeous.
I agree. It's super sexy. Shame how the game doesn't actually come with it though.
Its so hilarious how backwater Nintendo of America is with not releasing the special MM 3DS XL with the game AND the power adapter. Seriously? What a garbage company.
Anyways, these games interested me from the Nintendo Direct.
High Priority
The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask 3D (3DS)
Fire Emblem (3DS)
Low Priority
Puzzles and Dragons Z + Super Mario bros (3DS)
Etrian Mystery Dungeon (3DS)
Kirby & The Rainbow Curse (WiiU)
Xenoblade Chronicles X (WiiU)
Mario Party 10 (WiiU)
Not really hyped for that many games - Nintendo's Direct was lackluster for me in quantity but hey at least MM3D and a new FE is coming out.
Hopefully we'll see better games during the Summer time.
Shhhh, you'll be labeled a Sony fanboy if you say that. Cause you know, you're getting a PS4 in two months ;o
Shaddap you woman ;(
I wish I could get a PS4 in 2 months...I would of pre-ordered FFType-0 HD Collector's Edition (yes the $100 one) n_n.
Did they have a release window for Fire Emblem?

Xenoblade is looking really good from a gameplay and exploration point of view.
The graphics seems to have taken a dip though. Is it really running at 60FPS? That would be pretty awesome.
It might be the camera angles used in the latest trailer that's making it seem worse than what it is.
Nah, Xenoblade is not 60FPS. The video is 60FPS for some reason but the footage itself is 30FPS. I think it's 720p as well and not 1080p. The art looks great but the technical aspect doesn't look very good, especially the characters.
No, it's been improving over time.Spoiler for Image:
I did a comparison to the earlier trailers and it looks worse...but like i said in my initial comment its completely different camera angles. Theres a lot more aliasing in the first trailers.
Which areas are you speaking of?
Image quality in general...but there are a lot of factors that come into play here...like the quality of the footage and the camera angles used.
But just from watching the videos on Youtube, i compared the first two trailers that were released to the current one released and i can see a lot more pixelation, aliasing and jaggies across the board.
Im certainly not some IQ guru but thats just what im picking up at the moment. I could wrong ofcourse :P
Link the Youtube videos and we can all compare. Because I'm in the same boat as Shinobi right now. Xenoblade seems to have downgraded since its first few trailers from what I can tell. Still loving the art style, though.
Here is a video showing all the trailers
And here is the latest trailer
Try and find better versions to do a better comparison.
There's a collector edition?
Wow nothing beats that first trailer....the music is on another level :D It's probably one of my most watched trailers of all time. Which is why im so sensitive to the look i suppose.
Lips accessible to everyone? Glorious
Here's that one, Project Treasure game.Spoiler for Image:
Lips accessible to everyone? Glorious
My girlfriend bought a WiiU for her two nieces this Christmas and they're always playing NSMBU. Maybe I'll tell them to get Xenoblade lol ;o. /s they're only 3 and 7
You forgot Bayonetta 2!
I think with that age NSMBU is probably best. At least until Kirby comes out, because that seems the age that would enjoy Rainbow Curse.

Sweet. Welcome to the club!
I still like nintendo
due to zelda, kart and smash
but I like sony more now due to uncharted, little big planet, and kigdom hearts
Thx ninsect anyway. @thread d1(smash commentator) has possibly spoiled a nintendo game be playable at apex. http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=975308
Yeah definitely 3D World since it's not that different from NSMBU. MK8 probably eventually, maybe.
You take that back you blasphemous casual :O
2.5D Mario > 2D Mario

It's just math.
Update on my wii u collection:
Super Mario 3D World
Smash
Donkey Kong
Epic Mickey 2
Captain Toad
Nintendoland
Pikmin 3
Bayonetta 1&2
Outside of lacking MK8, I feel really good with my collection. Still, I wouldn't mind:
Lego City
W101
Zelda
NSMU
Zombiu
Hyrule Warriors
3D>2.5D>2D
It's just math.
You talking games that have already come out?
Yeah I just got my wii u this Christmas so I have a back log to get through.
I'm looking forward to Kirby, Yoshi, x, zelda, splatoon, and really anything from Myamoto outside of Star Fox. I really hope that robot demo becomes a game.
What do you guys think of Hyrule Warriors?
@ sackboy You're who?
Completely forgot about this game.
I might get it sometime in the future....
Also RIP to Nintendo Club ;(
Club Nintendo has ended.
When?
Can I still spend coins?!?
Lol you know what I mean. I mean the playstyle and buttons and stuff
You take that back you blasphemous casual :O
2.5D Mario > 2D Mario
When?
Can I still spend coins?!?
Yes. But save them for next month.
They are planning to release a lot of physical items and digital games in February.
Pretty good games Imo and what? Like who as in my vgchartz name or something?

Oh snap, my gf bought a WiiU for her nieces this christmas and after playing it a bit with them she is now sold on it and wants to buy another for herself lulz. She's not a big gamer though but I won't complain because I benefit!
Playing Super Mario RPG at the moment. Love this game.

Me and my friends are organising a Wii day for next saturday. I think we're gonna play mario kart (and I'll own them :P ) and wii sports. Its a shame no one owns a WiiU, still yet to see one in person :(
Best Mario RPG.
I've played it at least 6 times.
Going to play it again sometime in the future.
I has a Wii U. I haven't used it in a few weeks.

Let's share.
Anyone have a pro controller? For the life of me I can't seem to turn off the gamepad and just play.
Here Legend go here. I don't have much time because I'm working.
http://www.ign.com/boards/threads/is-there-a-way-to-turn-off-gamepad-completely-when-using-other-controllers.453419529/
Can't say if it will work because IGN is blocked at work.
No, I've been using the superior classic controller. On another note, I don't think I'll be getting the new 3DS.
Pro is better yo!
And why not? Would it be your first 3DS?
Lol@people on VGChartz thinks 300k globally is realistic. Us probably accounts for that. Target alone probably holds 10% of that.
170k in Japan with less in Europe and Us combined when Us is the largest market (three times the size of japan)? Like I said, unrealistic.
Context maybe?

A ton of new Xenoblade X news.
http://nintendoeverything.com/xenoblade-chronicles-x-details-world-size-battle-system-gamepad-usage-and-more/
Takahashi apparently has the clock at 300 hours.
There is a link with all that info. No context missing. America's > Others > Japan. But Japan has 60% of global stock?
Context is still missing, what sold what in where?

if someone needs to explain self explanatory statements everytime then things would get real annoying real fast. Obviously nintendo report came out which is obvious what my statement is in reference to and which is obviously about one of two products nintendo offers. 250k for either is unrealistic so really irrelevant which one it was in reference to but the wii u if ya need to know.
I meant, you just came in here talking numbers. You've said nothing of which devices, software, etc. Or even a link to comment on.

psh, get with the times. Ha, I made those comments before Legend made the financial thread.
But I didn't know the reports came out. I came here to check up on the site, checked in here and I see these statements out. I was legitimately confused until I went into the financials thread.

720p confirmed :(
wtf?! You brought me back!
Doesn't matter to me. I've got a CRT, so I'm fine.
Xenoblade Chronicles X sure looks nice - I'll get it but not day 1. More than likely I'll be able to find a cheap copy during the holidays later this year.
I'm more interested in Yoshi's Wooly World though - NEED MORE INFO ON THAT!
wtf?! You brought me back!
But that just means you limit the resolution to a horrible one lol.
I like using Tubes because I don't have to worry about what resolution what I'm watching/playing is. That, and I have like 4 of them, and I'm not going to buy a new tv if the others are usable.
But that just means you limit the resolution to a horrible one lol.

I ain't even mad. So long as I can see what's going on.
To say the truth, I found CRTs not actually bad at displaying images. They are, not really bad, but bad at colours. LCDs are far more vibrant. Larger CRTs though are a problem period.
Yeah, they are. I have a large one, but the colors are so poorly executed that you can only see the image at a certain angle.
I'm assuming it's a projection T.V.? You have to be quite far away from those.
Spoiler for Image:
Persona 4 is a PS2 game yet their faces look less creepy.
Be kind Pezus, Persona 4 uses anime looking characters similar to that.

I suppose it's just time to let the new in.
Hopefully there will be a "New" in and not just in Japan.
I'm not a fan of those type of kirby games ;o
GIMME PLATFORMER BISH :O
Anyways, so.....I hope we get a Mario game or somethin later this year announced (other than Mario maker D:)
You mean like a new mainline Mario?
2D Mario seems doubtfull since we've got maker, but I could see a new 3D one if it's 3D world 2. Would prefer a new saga though.
Yes 3D - I'm still sick of "NEW" 2D mario.
Why are you sick with it?
My first 2D Mario game was NSMBU. I found it fun.
Haha woah that's a cool thing to think about. My first 2D mario game might be the last for a long while. While my first 3D mario game was the first.

Lot of people were just upset that we got 4 NSMB games within a short time of each other.
They were good games, people were just burned out.
Also, how have you not played Super Mario World?

I'm still waiting for Kirby Air Ride 2. Sakurai should get over to HAL and make that happen.
My first 2D Mario is Super Mario Bros. I used to play that with my mom, whenever we got the nes working. I used to be scared of Mario dying so I had her play it for me.

I just somehow missed out on 2D Mario.

You missed out on 2 of the best 2D Mario games ever made: Super Mario World and Super Mario Bros. 3.

I thought you liked nintendo?
I do, but I dont like Nintendonerds ;(
Nope.
And what classifies as a Nintendonerd haha?
Nintendo Elitists who only like nintendo systems/games and shats on other games.

Didn't know there were many who actively bashed other fanbases.
But isn't that the same for any fanbase?
I'm talking about specifically on VGChartz.
The Sony fanbase on that site was mainly placed in Vita threads and the PSNation thread before Pezus left it so they were barely noticeable
The MS fanbase was in the shadows because they were afraid to speak their opinion.
The only Sony fans that actually acted like the Nintendonerds were the idiots like S.T.A.G.E (who for some reason reminds me of Curl-6 - both are idiots but anyways) and idiots who got permanbanned like VGKing.
Regardless, the Nintendo fanbase on VGChartz mainly irks me the most ;o.
Maybe I should be more active on VGChartz.
Why do we care about vgchertz?
If there's something from there you wish we had here though, just ask.
Not worth it.
They mainly talk about game sales (mainly japanese sales) rather than actual gaming discussion.
There's those tournament threads (Smash and MK) from time to time but not as much as you would think there should be.
Whelp, they did it. I am no officially hyped for Xenoblade 3D. Why am I hyped? WHY?!? I already played the game...three times...

I want to get eet.
But later.
I wanna get Bayonetta 2 and NSMBU along with Zelda WW HD.
I have two of those games XD. With that said, I can't get into Wind Waker :/. I hope Hyrule Warriors keeps me interested.
I'm gonna be needing something to play...
Maybe I'll speedrun Metroid Zero Mission.
I need something to play too :(
*shudders*
Those game I mentioned on that post are bottom tier priority ;p
Most of the games I actually want are either on PC or PS4.
Nothing too worthwhile for WiiU and 3DS.
So you admit it! You secretly hate Nintendo. I knew this day would one day come.
Dat Squareenix survey didnt mention the WiiU at all.
RIP #WiiU #UsuckWii #SNES4Lyfe
Did you expect it to?
They added WiiU and 3DS in the poll now.
When does x come out?
April 29th 2015 in Japan
TBA 2015 in NA/EU
Still no date in the west?
Argh!
Well XCX has 21 points at COMG
should at least get 50 or more
New direct tomorrow. Perhaps I'll do a live summary here.
I love having more Nintendo fans here. I love directs but always don't learn about them till too late.
Thanks!
So long as we don't get too many April fools jokes here on Vizioneck, I think I can end my hiatus early enough.
Worse than anything I could have imagined. Time to extend my hiatus
It's taking me a while to fix it. This is a glitch!

4 hours!
I'm keeping my hype in check because it can go either way.
I always overhype things and have fun regardless.!
I think that's an April Fool's joke
I'll just throw up some possibilities here.
First things first, I'm pretty sure we'll see:
-Splatoon
-Fire Emblem
-Indies(Affordable Space Adventures, curve digital games, Runbow etc.)
-Third Party Localizations(Attack on Titan 3DS, Stella Glow etc.)
We'll probably see:
-Yoshi's Woolly World
-Xenoblade 3D
-Mario Maker
-Third Party Localizations(Yokai Watch, Fatal Frame etc.)
-A new game.
We won't see:
-Xenoblade X
-Zelda
This is just speculation on my part.
Apparently Japan is getting two versions of Fire Emblem, but in the NA direct, they seemed to imply that it was combined. Perhaps that is one of the reasons we are getting it late.
So what was you guys' opinion on the SMTxFE trailer?
I like it not being just another fire emblem game
plus it gives wii u its own persona :)
Who here collects amiibos ?
Yeah I just have to laugh at those saying this trailer was better than the P5 trailer. That trailer was pure naughtiness[AF]
I should probably preface this with saying that I still think that this game is probably going to be great, that being said I found this trailer pretty dang bad, or to be more precise I find some of the design decisions they made very disappointing.
Atlus games are always Anime and there's always some fanservice in them but this just takes it completely over the top, the song is utter forgettable garbage in my opinion that could easily be put in almost every action Anime opening ever and I completely hate how filled with two natural pines this whole game apparently is, it is just ridiculous even the "battle armor" as overdesigned as it is, is cut in a way to give all the chicks some nice cleavage.
Gameplay looks fine, enemy designs are great but the points I mention above just ruin the trailer for me, who ever concipated that trailer must think that all people that like those games must be huge anime nerds that obviously have to like annoying Jpop and anime bosom, which kinda pisses me off.
But maybe I've just been spoiled by the greatness that is the Persona 5 trailer, that trailer just oozes with style, charme and freaking confidence, 3 things that I have a lot of trouble finding in the SMTXFE trailer.
Phew really had to get that out.
I have an EpiPen. My friend gave it to me as he was dying. It seemed very important to him that I have it.
You're wrong. Q.E.D.
Oh goodness.
Go ahead, prove me wrong. You can't.

As far as comparing the trailer to P5, I don't really think they are comparable.
P5 was aiming to be more stylish, while this one was aiming to be more flashy.
Guys can we not just buy both
there gonna be amazing anyways
Got Ness, pac man, charitable and the splatoon 3 pack
I broke my finger today, but on the other hand I am completely fine.
Do they still have Shulks available?
Nope, sold out while I was standing in line. I think only two people managed to get one.
Just read that they are sold out on the new wave as well. Same boat as Best Buy. Once amazon goes up, I need to act fast.
Toys r us in the morning too.
Darn you toys r us. I had all 3 of the hard to get ones.and the ship crashed and now they are all sold out. Funk!
Not sure if you said this before, but are you getting the yoshi ones?
Yeah.
Yeah, I think I will. They might be the most valuable to. As they are harder to make, they may make less of them.
Shoot, I probably need to preorder then.
To be on the safe side. And it they aren't rare at least you have them or could sell them off. I might get two sets one to keep and one to flip.
Bought the Mario Kart 8 DLC Pack 1 & 2.
Worth it.
Love the features/content!
The dragon track(forgot the name) and Mute City are amazing.
Mute City was cool.
But Dragon Driftway and Hyrule Circuit were my favs!
Hyrule circuit was pretty awesome cause of the theme, music, the rupees replacing the coins and the zelda enemies replacing the mario enemies.
Dragon Driftway was fantastic - surprised me too with its design lol.
Yeah, Hyrule circuit was all about the fanservice. Another reason to look forward to the Animal Crossing tracks
gave my vote for the smash character DLC thing. i really think nintendo will listen to me.
here are my answers:
Your Gender: Male
Character you're voting for: Mother fudgy Kratos
Title of the Game the Character Appears in: The Game Bayonetta wishes it can be
Why should this Character Become a fighter: so i can see kratos baby slap mario the same way the PS4 is baby slapping the Wiiu
Haha can you share the link to vote?
I'd like to make a submission for Captain Toad!
So I played an hour of Super Mario 3D World.
Such an amazing and beautiful game.
Dem visuals! Nintendo should of went HD last gen! XD
They really should have...

Layton 7 might come to wii u
Layton 7 was first announced in 2013. At the time, it was slated for 3DS in addition to mobile platforms.
Layton 7 finally resurfaced today at Level-5 Vision 2015, but as a much different title. It's now all about cards, a plot in which players must locate vampires among a crowd, and a 3DS is no longer planned. That being said, a Nintendo version hasn't been ruled out.
Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino has said that he would like to bring Layton 7 to Wii U. Whether that interest pans out remains to be seen.

I'm curious if Layton on Wii U would be wise at this point. Maybe NX?

I'll just assume that this is a joke.

So anyone think COD could back to wii u
its possible but unlikely....(imo)
I doubt it. Wii and DS COD only worked because of huge install bases and novel game control.
Black Ops II was on Wii U though.
Back then they didn't know what the Wii U's fate was.
Black Ops II was on Wii U though, as was Ghosts.
In fact Treyarch made the Wii U version of Ghosts. Though IW made the other versions.
75% chance BO 3 will come to Wii U.
Added some stuff. Ghosts was 2013.
Though I'm gonna lower that optimistic guess.

Already got DK64!!!!!!!
Everything makes sense now....
You planning to get the MK8 DLC that comes tomorrow?
I won't be getting it tomorrow. Just got one of the DLCs today.
Maybe in the upcoming months I will.
Have other games I want to get as well. :D
There are two games that would make me jump to get a Nintendo system above all others.
Super Mario RPG, and Donkey Kong 64.
SMRPG because it's still one of my absolute favorites ever. DK64 is great too, but I need to finish it...
You get it cheaper if you buy both at the same time.
Hope you are able to finish DK64 this time around.

I played until the ending as part of my job, but I came back to the office even after that to keep playing.
Clearing quests grants access to more party members.
Although you won't have access to certain things if you don't progress the story to some extent, you can explore the entirety of Mira right from the start.
The previous game(Xenoblade) set story objectives and gave you freedom to explore before arriving at them, but in this game there's a much higher degree of freedom, like the developers were saying 'you can do whatever you want, just do some story quests occasionally.'
After clearing a certain quest, you're able to freely re-customize your avatar. You can even change genders, perfect for moody people who think "I don't want to look like an old man again today."
We left NLA and walked from one end of the continent to the other, and there really were no load times. I was surprised that the game didn't run choppily due to the disc seeks.
However, there are three points where there are some small loading: when you go in and out of the BLADE Home, use skip travel, or view cutscenes.
And since this preview version is disc-only, the textures and character assets would sometimes take several seconds to load in when we'd drive around with the Doll at high speeds, or immediately after those load points. I'm interested in seeing to what extent the 'load time reduction data packs'/digital version can reduce this delay.
Rock faces and lakes are usually impassable boundaries in games, but if you try hard enough you can continue past them in this game. You can jump up some rocky platforms to scale cliffs, or stealthily swim[by sea] around tough enemies guarding the entrances to continents, which make finding paths through the world very fun.
The direct path isn't the only path. If you try going down a path that made you think "maybe I can get there from here," you'll find that you will in fact be able to. This kind of accommodating map design is just what you'd expect from Nintendo and Monolith Soft.
No matter what height you jump from in this game, you won't take any damage. You can jump all the way down from the top of the Upper Strata in the BLADE Area to the Lower Strata. And the game won't have to stop and load at all, totally seamless!
If you don't plan out your strategy and manage your arts and equipment, the bosses are quite difficult, even for people who are experienced with RPGs.
But don't worry, it's still a Nintendo game. They allow you to lower the difficulty on a boss if you lose to it several times. There's no penalties for lowering the difficulty, so people who don't play RPGs often can still enjoy the story.
When you defeat native creatures, they'll drop equipment that was used by members of BLADE they defeated/killed. Drops obtained from enemies have different abilities and affixes attached to them, some even have unexpected ones! Searching for equipment with amazing abilities by killing enemies can give it a bit of a [loot-focused game] feel
You don't get money for buying equipment from killing monsters. You can sell the materials you get from them, but that doesn't net you much cash. So, how do you get money on Mira? The Frontier Net, of course. It's not just for gathering info on the planet. The person who placed the probe receives payments regularly(fixed intervals), from the citizens of NLA who pay a fee to view images and information recorded by the probes. The more Data Probes you set, the more money you make.
The moneymaking occurs in real time, so you'll make a lot if you just leave the game there and space out!.
There are tons of Doll weapons and armor as well, that you can freely customize.
Dolls turn into vehicles when dashing. The frame series don't just differ in vehicle design, their handling and engine sounds change as well.
I played this review copy for much more than 100 hours, but there was still so much left to see in the game. There were many things we were unable to fit into this review, so we hope you play it yourself to experience all of its limitless fun!

With this new service, our members will be able to visit Nintendo's website and log in with one ID, and they will receive various services including the ones based on their past purchases and gameplay records as well as services that will be an improved version of the current loyalty program.
This I assume.
He mentions current loyalty program, what program is this?
Hmm, I don't know...
Obligatory Paper Mario rumor (http://nintendoeverything.com/rumor-intelligent-systems-tells-job-expo-attendees-that-paper-mario-is-coming-to-wii-u/) comment.
Sounds like heresay.
Anyways if true - I hope it is more like the original or TTYD and not the recent ones....lol

How in the world did this thread get 50k+ views with less than 1k posts? @Legend
explains the weird jumps in site views
;D
explains the weird jumps in site views
hmmm they should, shouldn't they?
Nah, views here don't count onto the site views for some reason. Can't quite figure that part out.
hmmm they should, shouldn't they?
hmmm they should, shouldn't they?
Precisely why I can't figure it out. I might as well explain the bug from my understanding so it can be fixed in 2.0
Basically, if a thread is in live view it constantly refreshes. On it's own, this does nothing to the view count. However, if two tabs of live view are open, the view counter starts going up.
I don't know the system that well, but from what I understand, it assumes that there should only be one live view open, and therefore the other tab is a regular tab. Since the other tab is refreshing, the view count goes up. Not sure why the view count doesn't go up on the actual site though.
I was using this thread to test out the bug, and left it going overnight. So boom, 50K views.
True thread views are, just not ones created from Xbro's glitch.
The thread view count only registers unique views, not page refreshes. With live view it's refreshing 120 times a minute but the page view count doesn't change because of this.
However with two pages open in live view, the system thinks you are rapidly switching between both pages. Your history shows you were last in a different thread, so it adds 1 to the view count.
The reason the website views doesn't increase is because that stat doesn't care about what you're doing, just if it's a new view.
In 2.0 I've yet to decide how to handle page views in live view. If you're in live view it should count for something right? Thinking I'll do one view a minute or something like that. Currently it's set to one view every packet sent, which is about 700 a minute. Haha 2.0 has more page views in a day than we get in a year.
Good to know how it works. Need to use it as much as I can before it goes away.
Make this thread the forum's most viewed!

Time for some Nintendo magic!What's the plan?
What's the plan?Each thread now supports having a unique background, separate from the rest of the site.
Each thread now supports having a unique background, separate from the rest of the site.Alright, that is sick.
For some reason the background is clashing :(!Yeah it's way too bright.
Time for some Nintendo magic!how did you do that?
Goddang. Anything similar for the PS thread?Nah Nintendo is special.
And how do you edit the background?
Yeah i like this.For now, just make a direct deposit of $10,000 into my bank and shoot me a pm ;)
how did you do that?
Nah Nintendo is special.Gezz that's way too much. It needs to be a few hundred. It really could set us apart from other forums.
Backgrounds will be shop items. Buy for like 10 grand. I have the backend set up, but have yet to create the item. Not sure how to handle custom custom backgrounds. An admin or mod would either need to check to see if the background is valid, or they'd need to design the background itself.For now, just make a direct deposit of $10,000 into my bank and shoot me a pm ;)
Gezz that's way too much. It needs to be a few hundred. It really could set us apart from other forums.We'll have to see how much this new bank system makes people.
We'll have to see how much this new bank system makes people.Well you spam all day.
Ignoring stealing, I've already made like $400 today.

Deep Silver is releasing every game they have at E3 on wii u it seems according to the official siteSo in other words...nothing new or exciting from them :(

So in other words...nothing new or exciting from them :(Pretty much.
Ugh, why am I awake?Anything actually worthwhile announced - I dont care about Monster Hunter X lol - not into timesink games.
Anyway, Monster Hunter X got announced for 3DS.
Anything actually worthwhile announced - I dont care about Monster Hunter X lol - not into timesink games.Nothing the west should be worried about for now.

Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon

All for 3DS. For Wii U we got Project Treasure gameplay(No KOS-MOS though) and Japan got a Yoshi release date.
Also, Chibi Robo is getting a 3DS game with it's own amiibo.
dang, not a single game I want in that list lolIf it helps, Mario vs Sonic Rio got announced.( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
If it helps, Mario vs Sonic Rio got announced.( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)Played the first one - didnt like it. Not a big fan of sports games. Only Mario sports game I actually got into was Mario Tennis lol.
I think they just needed to get all the japanese games out of the way before e3.
Played the first one - didnt like it. Not a big fan of sports games. Only Mario sports game I actually got into was Mario Tennis lol.That's more or less all Nintendo has though! D: Seriously, that's Nintendo's fillers when they need something out stat. I wish they'd do more though. Bayonetta's a step in the right direction, but they need more.
Hopefully we hear new announcements about something....more exciting and not niche.
That's more or less all Nintendo has though! D: Seriously, that's Nintendo's fillers when they need something out stat. I wish they'd do more though.

Speaking of which, there was a new Fire Emblem trailer.Probably the only game I am so far hyped/interested in.
Oh and apparently a Nintendo Direct Micro just popped up for the US. Basically just the same as the Japanese one, except it only had the games that were coming to the west. It had some release dates and such. Plus Splatoon got it's first update.

Super Smash Bros. Pre-E3 Video Presentation Announced - IGN (http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/06/08/super-smash-bros-pre-e3-video-presentation-announced)
Huh - wonder what this is about. New DLC?Lucas comes out the same day, so probably.
Lucas comes out the same day, so probably.Oh I was thinking of new DLC :/
The game pad hurts after awhile. Nintendo needs to step up their game in controller design.Gamecube controller is the best one they had - since then...not so much.
The game pad hurts after awhile. Nintendo needs to step up their game in controller design.I 2nd this. My hands are pretty small, so they don't handle the game pad all that well.
Yeah can I just have full pro support?It's not supported in every game?
It's not supported in every game?3D world is great. Smash is incredible.
Outside of splatoon what else do you guys suggest for the wii u.
Also, is skyward sword motion controls only?
Oh I was thinking of new DLC :/Which is what I was implying. When Mewtwo released we knew Lucas was coming.
IGN is going to be premiering the gameplay reveal of an unannounced Platinum game during our E3 2015 live show.http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/06/...e-coming-to-e3 (http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/06/09/e3-2015-unnanounced-platinum-game-coming-to-e3)
Tune into IGN at 3pm PT (6pm EST/10pm GMT) on Tuesday, June 16 for an extended look at gameplay from a new game from the Japanese studio that brought us Viewtiful Legend and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (http://"http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1059365#").
Which is what I was implying. When Mewtwo released we knew Lucas was coming.Eww lucas ;(
Platinum might being showing off a new wii u game this E3 with IGN..http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/06/...e-coming-to-e3 (http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/06/09/e3-2015-unnanounced-platinum-game-coming-to-e3)Don't believe IGN knew Devil's Third was an exclusive until the trailer rolled out.
What could it be?
(http://i.imgur.com/o08tbpO.png)
I noticed he has only retweeted directs or eventsd with platinum games involved.
I think its either DMC5 or Bayonetta spinoff.
Plus Nintendo always has game announcements with IGN for the past 3 years
W101 e3 2012
Sonic Lost World e3 2013
Devil's Third e3 2014
Eww lucas ;(#TeamSceptile :P
I want a new character...like BLAZIKEN :O
It's not supported in every game?Skyward Sword is motion control only. Though there is a way to play the game with a controller. It just involves a PC.

#TeamSceptile :PIsaac would be awesome - I'm surprised they havent put him in the series - looks like they placed his franchise in the backburner which is sad :(!
I would actually like to see Isaac from Golden Sun as a playable character.
Sonic Boom is getting a sequel.Why!?!?!?!?

Isaac would be awesome - I'm surprised they havent put him in the series - looks like they placed his franchise in the backburner which is sad :(!Yeah... Golden Sun: Dark Dawn was a big step down from the original game and Lost Age :-\
I would also like Krystal (Star Fox) and King K Rool (DKC) to be playable as well n_n
Why!?!?!?!?Who knows. We don't know who the developer is.
Another reboot would have been better haha.
Don't believe IGN knew Devil's Third was an exclusive until the trailer rolled out.That was how they announced it.
That was how they announced it.I seem to remember one of them being surprised when the "Only for Wii U" came along.
The trailer came from the IGN stream.
Why would they say "uannounced wii u title" at the time for it if a trailer was out?
Who knows. We don't know who the developer is.I don't think it's possible for the franchise to recover after this though

I'll pass on the Mother 1 release since its pretty much the same as the NES rom.They are all over price on the virtual console. :-\
Also $7.99 for a NES game on the Wii U :/
I'll pass on the Mother 1 release since its pretty much the same as the NES rom.The Mother series prides itself with its dialogue. With an official translation, I'm sure there will be different dialogue. I won't get it myself, but it brings me hope that Mother 3 will make it. I will gladly play Mother 3 again.
Also $7.99 for a NES game on the Wii U :/
They are all over price on the virtual console. :-\Thats exactly why I havent purchased anything from Nintendo VC.
ExactlySuper Mario Sunshine HD
I wonder since they showed so much mario maker and lots of new info at the NWC.
Is it gonna be in the direct?
I believe the only old games going to be in it that we know are
Star Fox obviously
IR#FE
FEIF
XCX
Rythem H?
Thats it since Yoshi has probably nonthing new since we know a lot about it, Devil's Third isnt a big game for Nintendo(that shame better not be in it), and MM as stated before already had tons of info announced.
dang, Mario is one sadistic basket o_OHe actually is, going off Mario game lore.
Splatoon has officially been cracked open. It looks like there are 10 maps on the disc, with only two unreleased (Camp and Skyscraper)(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CIBzm4dUsAARse5.png)

UPDATE: Rainmaker Mode revealed (http://pastebin.com/HNkuudWz):
In Rainmaker, both teams compete
to snag the Rainmaker. Once you've got it, the goal is to
carry it into the other team's base!
So as soon as the battle begins,
grab that Rainmaker!
It's guarded by a shield, though,
so you'll need to bust it out first.
Once you snag it, head for the other
team's base. And be quick about it!
If you run out of time or get splatted,
the Rainmaker will be dropped. Its shield will also reactivate.
The Rainmaker is crazy heavy, so you
can't Super Jump while carrying it. Your teammates will have to
watch your back!
The Rainmaker can also shoot ink like
an Inkzooka, so you can clear a path!
The closer you get to the enemy
base while holding the Rainmaker, the lower your goal distance will drop.
If the battle ends without anyone
carrying the Rainmaker to the goal, the team with the lowest
goal distance will win!
UPDATE 2: Sheldon's descriptions for additional weapons (http://pastebin.com/wiFQuQy9)
With its wide muzzle, the
Sploosh-o-matic is
specialized for close-combat
situations. Beat back the enemy while
placing Squid Beakons on
their turf, and then mop up
with the deadly Killer Wail ! This weapon set excels at
opening holes in the
opponents' defenses for
your teammates to exploit.
The Neo Sploosh-o-matic
is a custom Sploosh-o-matic
emblazoned with an original
emblem. Mark your opponents with
the Point Sensor , and then
crush them with the
power of the Kraken ! Getting in close is vital for
this setup, so it is suited to
battlers who excel at
flanking their foes.
The Neo Splash-o-matic has
the same capabilities as the
original set, but with new
sub and special weapons. Hit your opponent with
Burst Bombs , and then give
them a taste of precision
shooting! With the Inkzooka too, this
is a set for an aggressive
sharpshooter who's not
afraid to get messy!
Ah yes, the N-ZAP '89 . This
is quite simply an N-ZAP '85
that was redesigned for...
legal reasons. It includes a Sprinkler to
rapidly increase your turf,
allowing you to fire off
remarkably fast Inkstrikes ! This set is excellent at
striking where the foe
least expects it. Good for
lone wolves!
The Custom Dual Squelcher
is exactly what it sounds
likea Dual Squelcher with
a custom look! What's new is the Squid
Beakon , letting you lead
your team, and the Killer
Wail to pressure your foes! I'd say it's perfect for
master tacticians who can
keep track of the entire
field of battle.
The Luna Blaster is a
specialized shooter that
can unleash explosive
power at close range! Its rate of fire is good,
and its blasts cover a wide
area, but you'll need the
Inkzooka to hit far-off foes. Oh, and the Ink Mines can
really make a difference in
the right hands, so this set
is perfect for veterans!
The Luna Blaster Neo is
a remodeled Luna Blaster
made with original parts. The Splat Bombs and Bomb
Rush ensure that you'll
cause a riot of inksplosions
wherever you go! This is definitely a set for
those who prefer to throw
caution to the wind and
charge into the fray!
As the name suggests, the
Range Blaster is a Blaster
with shots that travel
farther before exploding. Its fire rate is reduced,
but the combination of
explosive power and range
can be positively deadly! Complemented by the
Splash Wall and Inkstrike ,
it's perfect for distance
fighters!
The Custom Range Blaster
is, as you might expect, a
Range Blaster with a slick
customized appearance. It has the same stats but
comes with Splat Bombs to
compensate for its lack of
efficacy at close range. Coupled with the powerful
Kraken , this set should
prove popular with blaster
virtuosos!
The Rapid Blaster Pro is
based on the Rapid Blaster,
but it's further specialized
for increased range. Follow your Seekers to zip
into an advantageous
position and strike from
your opponent's blind spot! The Inkzooka makes this a
great set for frontline
fighters who like to cause
big problems for their foes!
The Rapid Blaster Pro Deco
may be a bit of a mouthful,
but it's worth it for that
snazzy decoration! Its stats match the Rapid
Blaster Pro's, but it includes
Disruptors to weaken your
foes before you splat them! Oh, and your Killer Wail can
restrict them even more!
Give this set a try if that's
your sort of thing.
The L-3 Nozzlenose D is a
standard L-3 Nozzlenose,
decorated with badges from
its manufacturer. Its stats are unchanged,
but this set includes Burst
Bombs and the Kraken
an aggressive combination! Attack with a Burst Bomb ,
and then finish them with
your shooter. It's an easy
set to get the hang of!
The H-3 Nozzlenose is a
semiautomatic with more
firepower than its L-3 twin.
The H stands for "heavy"! It can't fire as rapidly, but
you can pinpoint foes
with the Echolocator to
make every shot count! Suction Bombs can also
make an effective defense,
so this set is a good choice
for well-rounded fighters!
The H-3 Nozzlenose D is an
H-3 Nozzlenose decorated
with added badges from the
manufacturer. The badges don't actually
affect its abilities, but it
does include a Point Sensor
and the mighty Inkzooka . In the right hands, this
interesting combination of
abilities may give rise to
many unique strategies!
The Carbon Roller is a
lightweight roller built with
low-density parts for
increased handling! Soften up the foe with
Burst Bombs while you ink
the ground and prepare to
unleash the Inkzooka ! Want to use a roller but
don't like feeling weighed
down? Now you can have
your cake and eat it too!
The Carbon Roller Deco is a
Carbon Roller specially
decorated by top designers. It can be hard inking a path
quickly with a roller, but
Seekers and Bomb Rush can
help you to do just that! Now you can approach foes
quickly and swing your
roller in their face! Perfect
for hit-and-run tactics!
The Inkbrush Nouveau has
the same abilities as the
Inkbrush , but it comes with
quite a different setup! You can use the brush to
swiftly lay Ink Mines . Your
opponents won't know
what hit 'em! And since you can share the
Bubbler with your allies,
this is a great set if you
like to support your team!
The Octobrush is a brush
with denser bristles that
fling even more ink with
each swipe! Use that mobility to scatter
Squid Beakons everywhere,
giving your whole team free
rein of the battlefield! No need to hesitateyou
can always use the Kraken
to run away in a pinch.
Your team will love you!
The Octobrush Nouveau
matches the Octobrush in
stats but features an all-
new sub and special setup! More specifically, it comes
with the versatile Splat
Bomb and Inkzooka for
maximum ease of use. Brushes are a fun weapon
type to use, so I'd use this
set to get the hang of
using brushes.

Good thing you don't have to pay for that stuff. There would be an outrage.Haha so zero paid dlc and zero microtransactions?
Haha so zero paid dlc and zero microtransactions?I'm waiting for now, but it's slowly bringing a lot of new things in there. I believe since launch, about 3 maps and 5 weapons have been added.
I might pick up this game!
2nd highest score for a yoshi game ever(behind the original).I thought Yoshi was better than that.

I'm starting to worry the nx will suck and be the death of Nintendo :(I'm worried about Nintendo.
Iwata's comments make it sound that they believe the casual market is the key to success.
I'm worried about Nintendo.More amiibos would, though
I am having a hard time imagining them doing something that the hardcore would latch onto, and can't imagine they'd have anything up their sleeves to bring the casual market in either.
I don't think pushing for 3rd parties and better systems and better online would be enough for the hardcore.
I feel this deserves its own thread.
With August release date announcements for Devil's Third in Japan and Europe, and absolutely nothing announced for North America, I started to get a bit nervous.
With the game's compete absence from E3 in any form, I started to get worried.
And now, Devi's Third is no longer mentioned in the "Future Releases" section of the North American Wii U eShop (http://gonintendo.com/stories/237175-devil-s-third-disappears-from-future-releases-section-of-eshop) , where it's been featured since last summer.
North American Itagaki fans, it may be time to lose hope. I'm not sure what Nintendo of America is thinking. Maybe this is all a big misunderstanding and the game is actually releasing here...but things really aren't looking good.
What a disaster... day of crisis
Ugh, this is making me want to play Mario Galaxy. But I have to finish Arkham first :(
Oh that's not for me. Galaxy and world look better imo.
Oh that's not for me. Galaxy and world look better imo.Art style seems to be what makes Mario games.
Oh that's not for me. Galaxy and world look better imo.This is about the tech. Imagine this tech with the NIntendo art style!
This is about the tech. Imagine this tech with the NIntendo art style!This tech is the art style. Unreal just has that look to it.
I wonder how Yoshi will do in EU?Probably not better than it will do in US/JP
I heard EU are big Yoshi fans(specifically DE).
Probably not better than it will do in US/JPWell, according to GFK it did great debuting at #4 so maybe 10k+ in UK?
Rumor: Diddy Kong Racing 2 Is Apparently Being Developed For The NX? - NeoGAF (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1072157)I don't see why they couldn't just nix the gamepad and sell the Wii U without it. Makes nosense. I can see them making a very powerful ARM processor though. I'd be interested to see how that would work out.
"The new platform is aiming for a price of $149.99 to avoid competing directly (price wise) with PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The company fears that it would be market suicide to release another overly expensive box in the middle of a console generation, when most consumers have already invested in a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. Wii U development kits are being used to develop NX software; the NX hardware is technically a Wii U except with higher memory bandwidth and a more balanced CPU"
Cooleo.
lol but hopefully fake
Gamepad is cool though. :PGet with the times. Even the Wii-motes were a mistake (ate least, every NIntendo friend I have says this now...)
Gamepad is cool though. :PIt's old news though. In a world without ipads, the wii u would be selling great I'd bet. People would love the idea of a "tablet."
It's old news though. In a world without ipads, the wii u would be selling great I'd bet. People would love the idea of a "tablet."Psh, we don't need new, we need good.
Instead what we got was the wii u being announced over one year after the iPad was released. Nintendo wasn't innovating like they had the gen before. By the time the Wii U had released, the iPad had already passed 100 million unit sales.
Psh, we don't need new, we need good.They should re-release the GameCube!
Nay, we need great!
They should re-release the GameCube!Yes! Just bring out some new games. :D
Nintendo should be more worried about Apple stealing their ideas for NX than Sony and MS, given how the gamepad vs. iPad story wentMore like Apple should be worried about Nintendo stealing their ideas hehehe.
Nintendo should be more worried about Apple stealing their ideas for NX than Sony and MS, given how the gamepad vs. iPad story wentThey never said Sony and MS specifically. They said "competition". Apple is included.
More like Apple should be worried about Nintendo stealing their ideas hehehe.Nah, Apple stole their idea. Nintendo just took longer to release it.
Nah, Apple stole their idea. Nintendo just took longer to release it.iPad was released in 2010. Wii U wasn't even announced till 2011.
iPad was released in 2010. Wii U wasn't even announced till 2011.Yeah but Apple had sent spies to NIntendo HQ before that
The NX is definitely not aiming to compete with the likes of PS4 on a power level. Absolutely sure of that now.

@GoldMetalSonic I did not say anything about what exactly it is, just that it will not compete with the PS4 on a power level.

Yeah it's like a lottery with their numbers. Some are pretty close, while others are way off.If I remember correctly, Chertz samples a very small fraction of the entire marketshare and extrapolates from that.
Almost like they're guessing...
Well Japan should be right.We don't even know that much because they average MC and Famitsu. Software is usually wrong after a game initially drops out of the top 20/30 though.
It might be right(and thats a big if) since it took 3 weeks for Splatoon to hit 1.1 million(with digital, I estimate around 120k).

So a Devil's Third F2P version was announced for PC. It doesn't have the campaign, and instead is just the multiplayer. I think I'll get that because the multiplayer is what caught my interest in the first place.Plus free to play is nice when the game's quality is up in the air.

Was just looking at the amiibo name and realised the word mii is in there. Which is a spin off from the Wii.A mii is an avatar that you create for a profile on Wii, Wii U and 3DS systems. It acts as your profile for all activities you choose to participate in. It also acts as your profile pic on Miiverse(another use of the name).
Is this intentional or a coincidence?
Have they ever given a proper meaning behind the name?
It's still not out?

The company has issued a press release notifying outsiders that alongside naming a new president in Tatsumi Kimishima, the company is undergoing a "large scale revision of the organizational structure" that would take effect on September 16th, 2015. Previously, at the commencement of 2014, Satoru Iwata began the initial wave of the second major restructuring during his reign, which created the "Business Development Division" and "Development Administration & Support Division". Iwata also officially unified the Integrated Research & Development Division (console designers) with the Research & Engineering Department (hand held designers). Additionally, there was an unofficial unification of the Entertainment Analysis & Development Division and Software Planning & Development Division, who for the first time ever began developing internal games together. Lastly, Iwata continued strengthening the System Development Division, with his protege Shinya Takahashi. With Iwata unable to see the final reorganization through, here is the end result with Kimishima, Takeda, and Miyamoto finalizing the new internal structure. President Iwata, Restructure, Phase 1, 2013-2015President Kimishima, Restructure, Phase 2, 2015President Iwata, Restructure, Phase 1 2013-2015
- System Development Division est. 2013 (OS development, app development, network development, casual game development)
- Business Development Division est. 2014 (Development and coordination of QoL Products)
- Integrated Research & Development Division and Research & Engineering Department merged in 2014. Console and hand held engineers working together for first time.
- Kyoto Development Center constructed. Houses over 1500 personnel, third Kyoto building.
- Nintendo Network Service Database Inc. est. Network services.
- Nintendo European Research & Development est. Technology development.
- Entertainment Analysis & Development Division and Software Planning & Development Division, separate entities, but sharing staff for several internal projects.
- Development Administration & Support Division est. 2013. The parent of "General Support Group" which coordinates a network of small developers that provide assistance in specific departments of large scale production groups. (debugging, programming, art assets, animation, cg movies, etc.)
- Entertainment Analysis & Development Division and Software Planning & Development Division merger under Entertainment Planning & Development Division (?)
- Miyamoto vacating position as EAD manager, Takeda vacating position as IRD manager, taking bigger roles in the company direction. Also probably preparing for retirement.
- Business Development Division is very much intact. QoL products are still one of three major directions of company. (dedicated game machines, mobile, QoL)

So I asked a lot of people why Nintendo doesn't licenses music for commercials and there all like, "its more appealing to hear Nintendo music then regular pop songs!"I'm pretty sure I've heard licensed music before.
Remind me again how much wii u games sell that aren't mario or zelda.
I'm pretty sure I've heard licensed music before.Yeah but they are like, " doesnt matter Nintendo's music is more appealing"
Got an opportunity to play Super Mario Maker.So Overall they are each good for their own little things and are great games?
It's not like LittleBigPlanet at all.
The level designer is the main part of the game. It's where you start out, the focus is very much on making levels.
Making levels is great, but there's not really any main levels, at least as far as I can tell.
In LBP, the story mode drives the level creator and vice versa. You collect bubbles to get stuff for level making, and I believe all the levels were actually made in the create mode.
In SMM, you unlock things by creating levels.
So Overall they are each good for their own little things and are great games?It's a great game, but I'd give LBP a bit of an edge.
It's a great game, but I'd give LBP a bit of an edge.I agree with this statement.
But Mario Maker makes fantastic use of the gamepad.
I think Mario maker 2 will have 3d levels like galaxy etcI feel like it needs more content.

So I've been pondering this for a while. Why has motion controls gone from "The greatest thing ever" and "I won't play a game anymore if it doesn't have motion control" to "Motion controls ruined gaming."? I personally like them, even though I always felt they never changed the game, just the way you play them. I still wish Sony would set bindings where the second analogue stick was automatically set to the move sensors so devs didn't have to program them in. But why is everyone automatically against them? Twilight Princess was heralded for its controls when it came out 9 years ago, yet all of a sudden everyone wants the game without it and with the inferior gamepad gameplay (I'll be using a Classic Controller at this point). What are everyone's thoughts on the matter?Depending on the person, the reason changes.

Nintendo investors shouldn't get too excited, though: IHS forecasts that after the stellar start, Wii U sales will slow, and the new console will only reach around 70% of the Wii's sales volume in the first four years after release. The Wii moved 75.9 million units during that period, while IHS forecasts Wii U sales around 53.2 million units.Predicted to sell 53.2 million units by November next year. And it'll be lucky to sell 25m. Psh, it'll be lucky to hit 15m.

Fake.why are people picking on the cord so much,... if this is real it is from a dev kit not a final product.
The cord looks way too large. No good modern ports are that big.
Also the screen glare is wrong. Based off the shadow of the paper and the device, the light is to the right and slightly down. However the screen glare shows a light just ever so slightly to the right and a bit up. Just looking at shadows in general, I'm pretty sure the device and cord are renders photoshopped onto the original image.

The screen glare could actually be part of the displayed image. Maybe this is real...
Basically confirms it's fake.okay. that's more compelling evidence.

Not only does it perfectly line up with the frame from the demo video, but it's an offcentered crop. Offcentered crops look horrible in motion and would never be used like that.
why are people picking on the cord so much,... if this is real it is from a dev kit not a final product.Dev kit cords don't look like that either. Would expect the cord itself to be much thicker and the end part to be more standard rubber.

Yeah if real it's the handheld.Or if real, it would be like the Wii U gamepad. You could have it, where you can like zoom around the screen and stuff.

See anything similar yet ?
Guy at VGC claiming to dev says its fake because there has never been a connector in any dev unit that's connecting the device in the photo. Except the Wii U's dev unit has a similar connector:The bump on the controller is actually part of the system. The cord only connects to the very end of it.

Box is very similar, very elaborate to go and research the Wii U's dev kit for this fake. We also don't know how the coaxial cable looks like in this case. It's possible it has a thick end and is plugged in.

They're industrialized with bulky and standardized designs. Same goes with other dev kits. This is especially true with prototype hardware where things change constantly.
To me the plug doesn't look similar to the wii u's bump, nor do I think it's a bump. I bet the artist was trying to make it look like a cable connecting into the devices card slot.
I'm firmly in team Fake.

So I went to double check if my Twilight Princess HD was working (Guy at EB scared me). Then I was like "I might as well go put some time into Wind Waker". Then I had to play a wind song and I couldn't remember any of them. I spent maybe 15 minutes trying to find a song list. Nothing. So I rage quit.Why?
Why?I needed to blow wind in the direction of the forest temple. Guess what song I couldn't play to blow wind into the forest temple? So until I go on the Internet to get a song list I'm stuck.

It's one of the few places left with them. So I saw Twilight Princess and I was like "Why not?" When I was buying it the guy told me someone's Twilight Princess and Amiibo didn't work. It's been over a month and I never bothered to make sure my copy worked. Still don't know if my Link Wolf Amiibo works cause an haven't opened it yet. Not like I really care to.

Also, you should try to get the Quick Sail as soon as possible. That will change the wind as you turn automatically.
EDIT: Hold on, I recall the song list coming up automatically on the gamepad once you pull out your wind waker.
Is twilight princess worth it at 40?It's worth the 60 I paid for it.

We are operating on the assumption that it can be removed through a simple firmware update. Previously... May 2015: Iwata updates position on region-locking at Nintendo investor Q&A (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1043764)
QuoteQ7: When you were asked if you would lift the region locks at the Financial Results Briefing six months ago (http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/library/events/141030qa/02.html), you answered that you would take it into consideration. Please explain the current situation. A7: Iwata: My understanding is that it is not realistic on the existing video game systems because unlocking them after they are already on the market poses a number of hurdles. On the other hand, regarding NX, we understand that many consumers hold such opinions and such suggestions exist in the market, and although we have nothing concrete at the moment, we are internally analyzing what hurdles exist to lifting region locks. That is the situation right now. We acknowledge your request, and I personally want to give it positive consideration.October 2014: Iwata addresses region-locking at Nintendo investor Q&A (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=922801)
QuoteQ4: Currently, Nintendo hardware and games are region-locked in territories throughout the world, so that a game purchased in one region cannot be played in another. Are there plans to do away with that restriction and unlock them? A4: Iwata: There have been various conditions at play in the game business, such as a history of localization taking an extremely long time, a variety of marketing constraints and circumstances in each country, and the fact that the license needed to sell games have not always been granted globally. In a sense, the region-lock has existed more for reasons having to do with the seller than the consumers. That has been the situation throughout the history of video game systems, and as for what should be done going forward, there may be advantages for the consumers and also for us if they were unlocked. Conversely, unlocking them would mean having to resolve different issues that would subsequently arise. While we have not decided whether we will unlock them or not, we do recognize that it is an issue that needs to be considered in the future.E3 2015: #NintendoRegionFree 2015: Project NX (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1062322) E3 2014: #NintendoRegionFree 2014 STARTS NOW!

QuoteOriginally Posted by Satoru IwataThis was obviously an unsatisfactory answer. Region-locking IS a restriction, and such an anti-consumer practice has no place in luxury products. Other platform holders have dropped region-locking despite the same cultural, legal, and ratings issues. What we want is to be able to play legally-purchased games for Nintendo platforms purchased from anywhere in the world, irregardless of any hardware region setting. If parental controls are a concern, access to out-of-region titles can simply be disabled by default and enabled by adults.My body is ready for region-free gaming. Is yours?
From some people's perspective, it might seem like a kind of restriction. However, we hope people can appreciate the fact that we're selling our products worldwide. There are many different regions around the world, and each region has its own cultural acceptance and legal restrictions, as well as different age ratings. There are always things that we're required to do in each different region, which may go counter to the idea that players around the world want the freedom to play whatever they want. I hope that game fans can understand that the industry isn't doing this solely out of business ego. There are some reasons behind it.
Wii U seriously should have gotten a price cut. It's been clearances twice at the story by 100$ current, and 150$ before.It didn't do much for the Gamecube. It'l give a spike for a bit, but sales will taper off.
Seriously makes me consider getting one. Think it could have made a big difference.

Nintendo wants money, not sales right now.I don't mean right now. I just mean in the past ~4 years. Just felt too expensive to be worth it. I'm hoping they do better with the NX.
NX is the system they want people to be buying/planning to buy. IE if you pull the trigger on Wii U right now, you're much less likely to buy NX near launch.
It didn't do much for the Gamecube. It'l give a spike for a bit, but sales will taper off.Probably.
I don't mean right now. I just mean in the past ~4 years. Just felt too expensive to be worth it. I'm hoping they do better with the NX.The biggest problem is that Nintendo made a console that was never going to drop in price because the manufacturing for it was already mature. There were no gains to make. The PS4 had a better chance of getting cheaper than the Wii U. Nintendo should never have used 10 year old technology to make a new console.
But I just feel like Wii U got robbed before it even had a chance.
Probably.

Regardless, it's only natural to be curious about where all that green went. CNN Money wanted to dig a bit deeper, so it had UMB TechInsights tear down a Wii U and estimate the cost of the individual parts. The GamePad alone is valued at $79.25, while the main console comes to $148.25, resulting in an approximate total of $228. You'll notice that's less than the $300 MSRP for the Basic Set.CNN estimates the cost of Wii U's parts to be $228 (https://www.destructoid.com/cnn-estimates-the-cost-of-wii-u-s-parts-to-be-228-249435.phtml)
CNN estimates the cost of Wii U's parts to be $228 (https://www.destructoid.com/cnn-estimates-the-cost-of-wii-u-s-parts-to-be-228-249435.phtml)That's bill of materials, there's packaging, assembly and shipping putting the cost of the Wii U close to, if not more than 300 dollars. The parts also won't depreciate because no one manufactures PPC except for the fabs making Xenos and their espresso processor and a few others. Making a binary compatible GPU with their older Artx GPU probably didn't do them any favours either.
Is Nintendo "back?" NX hype is good, Zelda hype is great, and Pokemon love is through the roof. Last time they had this much going for them was 10 years ago.A lot of that depends on what the NX ends up being and how well they support it.
So I finally found the notes for Wind Waker (Like two months ago, but I was lazy to post). They were on the tablet screen when I would bring up the baton O_O.Like this?
So I was thinking of the detachable controllers for the NX. I think they might have planned a free form display like the mockup that person trolled people with. But with controls that change with the game on screen. But it didn't work out too well so they switched to detachable controllers that third parties could sell (Like those Wii attachments). What do you guys think?
Like this?Exactly. Maybe they were planning changeable buttons via touch screen but that obviously doesn't work. So maybe they're switching to that.

But man would it screw over the gameplay.
Not necessarily. If the packin right hand is a gamecube or snes like handle, then devs will make games to that. They can then make extra addons should they choose to.But the devs can't program any exclusive features if the special controls are optional. We'd end up with "waggle" games vs thing built from the ground up for those inputs.

If that pikmin game truly was the one what people were expecting, it would be called Pikmin 4 and not have a non-final name. They outright confirmed Pikmin 4 is being made, and near completion.But game names change all the time. IE Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon is effectively Luigi's Mansion 2 but it's not called that.
But game names change all the time. IE Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon is effectively Luigi's Mansion 2 but it's not called that.Luigi's mansion didn't have a history of having numbers after their initial title to signify which entry it was. Pikmin has 3 entries, no subtitles on any of them. If Miyamoto was really talking about this spin-off, he likely would have said something akin to "a new pikmin game" rather than "Pikmin 4"

I probably have posted something like this in the past.On the flip side; what's the point of making hardware if not for third party licensing money? People aren't going to buy third party on the NS regardless. They're going to most likely sell the NS at cost or at a loss, cause more than 250 (Hell 199 is probably too high) and the thing is dead in the water. Let's be frank, Nintendo doesn't need to sell hardware to sell their games...
I see a lot of comments that Nintendo should push a regular powerful console. I don't think it's really in their best options. We already have 2 other systems that fit that criteria, and at this point they're going to be the preferred options for a lot of people. And those other systems have shown far better push for 3rd party titles. Even if Nintendo was able to get all the same 3rd party titles, I still think most people would prefer to get those experiences on PS4/XBO.
How many people would play The Witcher 3 on a Nintendo system instead of on PS4/XBO? I really don't think a lot. I think Nintendo is kind of screwed in this way.
I think most of the people who want to play those kinds of experiences are most likely going to get a PS4/XBO.
I probably have posted something like this in the past.I feel like they could manage as long as it sold great. Imagine if Wii could do near PS360 graphics. It would have severely cut into the other systems's sales.

So what do you guys think of the rumoured 250 price point for the NS? Can Nintendo pull of what Nintendo and Sony failed to do 5 years prior? I personally think the soccer mom's won't buy it.Nintendo wants us to think it's a home console.

at $250 it will do okay but...It's Nintendo's bread and butter. It's why they try so hard every time with them.

QuoteClock-speeds are a crucial piece of information required to get some idea of Switch's capabilities beyond the physical make-up of the Tegra processor. As many have speculated, the new Nintendo hardware does indeed feature two performance configurations - and the console is categorically not as capable in mobile form, compared to its prowess when docked and attached to an HDTV. And we can confirm that there is no second GPU or additional hardware in the dock itself regardless of the intriguing patents that Nintendo has filed suggesting that there might be. With battery life and power throughput no longer an issue, the docked Switch simply allows the GPU to run much faster. And to put it simply, there is a night and day difference here.Where Switch remains consistent is in CPU power - the cores run at 1020MHz regardless of whether the machine is docked or undocked. This ensures that running game logic won't be compromised while gaming on the go: the game simulation itself will remain entirely consistent. The machine's embedded memory controller runs at 1600MHz while docked (on par with a standard Tegra X1), but the default power mode undocked sees this drop to 1331MHz. However, developers can opt to retain full memory bandwidth in their titles should they choose to do so.More:http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/di...-spec-analysis (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2016-nintendo-switch-spec-analysis)
As things stand, CPU clocks are halved compared to the standard Tegra X1, but it's the GPU aspect of the equation that will prove more controversial. Even while docked, Switch doesn't run at Tegra X1's full potential. Clock-speeds are locked here at 768MHz, considerably lower than the 1GHz found in Shield Android TV, but the big surprise from our perspective was the extent to which Nintendo has down-clocked the GPU to hit its thermal and battery life targets. That's not a typo: it really is 307.2MHz - meaning that in portable mode, Switch runs at exactly 40 per cent of the clock-speed of the fully docked device. And yes, the table below does indeed confirm that developers can choose to hobble Switch performance when plugged in to match the handheld profile should they so choose.
Dear god, is that even stronger than Wii U?Like 384 GFLOPS docked, 153.6 GFLOPS undocked.
$199 or doom.
When you all say $199, do you all mean $129.99?Seeing as it's more powerful than a Wii U, 199$ is fine. 130$ is insane...
Seeing as it's more powerful than a Wii U, 199$ is fine. 130$ is insane...Wii U was a victim of being made on technology of never being able to get cheaper. This thing is on new tech that should be cheaper.
Like 384 GFLOPS docked, 153.6 GFLOPS undocked.That explains the framerate issues of Zelda undocked.
Wii U is 352 GFLOPS?
Can't compare the number directly. It's just one variable, but it's bad either way.
199$ needs to happen, and Nintendo needs to push games hard.

http://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2017/1/16/14285146/nintendo-switch-joy-con-grip-charging-not-bundledThen how does the bundled one have lights on it?
We knew from the recent glut of information that the Nintendo Switch includes a set of Joy-Con controllers along with a Grip attachment in the box. But a report from Eurogamer today notes that unlike the $29.99 Joy-Con Charging Grip that Nintendo sells separately, the bundled Grip simply is a plastic shell that allows the Joy-Con controllers to be more easily held in a traditional form factor.
As can be seen when visually comparing the two, the Joy-Con Charging Grip has a translucent shell -- similar to the Switch Pro Controller -- and features a USB-C port on the top of the device to charge the Grip's battery. Nintendo is claiming that the Joy-Con controllers (without the Charging Grip) should get around 20 hours of use on a charge, and take about 3.5 hours to recharge, whether that's connected to a plugged in or docked Switch unit or in the Charging Grip.
While fans may be disappointed at the exclusion of the charging feature in the bundled Grip controller, it does make some sense given that the Joy-Con units will charge whenever they're attached to the main Switch device, while any extra Joy-Cons would need some sort of external method to recharge -- like a Charging Grip, for example -- given that they contain no charging ports of their own.
The Joy-Con Charging Grip will cost $29.99 and is scheduled to release alongside the Switch on March 3rd. Nintendo hasn't announced at this time whether or not it will be possible to buy additional non-charging Joy-Con grips in the future
Then how does the bundled one have lights on it?Perhaps it's using the light from the joy-cons?
Perhaps it's using the light from the joy-cons?Possible but I'm not sure. How do the joycons even connect to charge? I don't see any obvious connectors.

Ha the second you mentioned those numbers, I also recognized them from the GAF thread.To cite another example, the Vita had a better debut than the PSP, but the Vita has done incredibly worse. Similar thing applies to the XB1. Huge launch, but has fallen behind the 360 launch aligned.
On the subject of sales, people often forget the Wii U had a great launch. Switch will have a hard time beating it.
Possible but I'm not sure. How do the joycons even connect to charge? I don't see any obvious connectors.i'd guess it is in the "rail"
Ha the second you mentioned those numbers, I also recognized them from the GAF thread.the just over a month between "reveal" and launch certainly won't help switch's launch. launching outside the holiday period won't either.

Where did you hear that Galaxy wasn't a successor?(http://i.imgur.com/iTAPckh.jpg)
(http://i.imgur.com/iTAPckh.jpg)Apparently Galaxy is linear?
The VGC thread pretty much had the fans circle jerking Nintendo for this revelation, despite asking for Galaxy.... I was legitimately curious.
Apparently Galaxy is linear?Not the little I played, but I never played 64 to compare.
Not the little I played, but I never played 64 to compare.Galaxy is a wide linear from what I played before rage quitting. (stupid waggle)
Apparently Galaxy is linear?what legends said but to say it again anyways.
Galaxy is a wide linear from what I played before rage quitting. (stupid waggle)Lol, I liked waggle. Well, I didn't dislike it at least.
what legends said but to say it again anyways.It's been a while since I played either game.
galaxy was kind of a traditional platformer. select level, go from point A to point B. yeah,,. you could move around in 3 dimensions but it's general level design was an A to B design not too dissimilar to a chapter in uncharted 4.
mario 64 was kind of a open world game of sorts. it was tiny as all hell but remember it was also on the n64. anyways,.. select map (there were several). choose an objective (something like collect 5 stars). wander around somewhat aimlessly (aka open world game) and eventually achieve the objective.
i loved galaxy and hated mario 64. hearing about this kind of makes this mario dead to me. i know a lot of other people loved mario 64 but i thought it was the worst mario game ever created. i generally don't like sandbox games though so it's nothing personal to mario 64. i just don't like the aimlessness of open world games.
Lol, I liked waggle. Well, I didn't dislike it at least.It's the spawn of satan.
I played Mario 64 on the DS and it was a 10/10 game for me. I was surprised how much I liked it.I like the waggle.
It's the spawn of satan.
I like the waggle.Motion controls can be great.
Motion controls can be great.They are optional in a few games.
Waggle though is just mapping a button to motion for the sake of it. They could be 100% optional yet never are.
So according to Amazon.com Bomberman will be $50 and Binding of Isaac Afterbirth will be $40 on the Switch, pretty steep if you ask me.Just like psvr, the software is overpriced for launch.
Just like psvr, the software is overpriced for launch.Hmm, I guess. But VR games at least represent a new way of playing so it might be somewhat justifiable that companies would still experiment with their pricing models. But can the same be said about Switch games? I mean Binding of Isaac is available for less on all other platforms I reckon.

Though I wonder what is up with the pricing. Ultra Street Fighter 2 is 40 dollars to an updated 10 dollar PS3 game.

Not surprisingly, it sounds like Switch is below the minimum specs they designed the game for. They also have to juggle patching for three different platforms already. Adding Switch would complicate a process they're only just now getting used to.

The shrines become so monotonous and far too many are copouts that just involve getting there. Combat is cool but everything respawns so there's no real point besides grinding. Exploration isn't interesting anymore either. It's been days since I saw or found something new. Korok seeds need more variety. Quests hardly lead to something interesting and instead are just errands. The house quest was incredibly unfulfilling.Spoiler for house quest:

Looks like they sold out. I'm a Prime member and have no option to buy. I HAD it for a moment but it kept kicking me back to the sold out package.Yep did the same for me. I added to cart when it said in stock april 30th but told me it wasn't available in the cart. I'm hoping the neon version gets put up next and they were doing them separate to keep traffic low.

THey still have friend codes? I thought you could use usernamesThere are three ways for me to find friends so I can send them a request. I can search for local users, which is lame because it's just going to be random people in my area. I can search the users I've recently played with, which obviously doesn't mean they're actually my friends. The third option is to search for them via friend code. There isn't an option for me to search for a specific friend using their username.

Breath of the wild is my first/second Zelda so I'm with you there.Dayum, you missing out alot (actually I was too kinda :p)
Did you own a Wii U?
Any idea if and when the virtual console is coming? I'd love to pick up some older games.Nope and its a missed opportunity - there's a audience they are clearly missing and people willing to multi dip.
Dayum, you missing out alot (actually I was too kinda :p)I only ever owned two Zelda titles before this one. Link's Adventure back on the NES and Twilight Princess on the Wii. I never got into Link's Adventure and I got rid of my Wii after only 3 weeks of owning one. Any other time of playing a Zelda game was maybe 10 minutes here and there on someone else's console. My tastes in games have changed over time, and now something like Zelda seems appealing.
I recently finished OoT for the first time.
Playing through A link between worlds on my 3DS and BotW on my WiiU.
I only finished TP on GCN, Link to the past on SNES and GBA and SS on Wii.
Nope and its a missed opportunity - there's a audience they are clearly missing and people willing to multi dip.

You people getting the Switch.I guess cause they never bought a Wii U to know how fast Nintendo will abandon them
What are your thoughts?
Did you get a Wii U?
What compelled you to get one, especially if you were not compelled for a Wii U?
You people getting the Switch.I had a wii u, but I feel they didn't know what they really wanted the wii u to be which resulted in consumers being confused.

Playing with just the joy cons by themselves is GOAT!!! Might not be for everyone since they are kinda small, but they feel great to me. Super comfortableI played like that for awhile. I got over it though, but thanks for giving me a new idea!

Do you seriously not know how to look that up?I'm sure I can find it. I just haven't been playing in awhile.
I think Zelda's a great game but it has so many faults that stop it from being perfect.Yeah I am, but it still goes down way to fast.
Upgrade your stamina though.
I really like zelda, but I can't tell why this game is one of the highest rated games of all time. It's literally full of those "ubisoft towers" everyone seems to hate, combat is a little janky, and there is really not much to do besides main quests and shrines(120 of these fudgy things), though the shrines are pretty fun overall. And being such a big open world it's sometimes a chore to travel around. Plus link can only run like what seems like ~20 feet or so and he acts like he is gonna die.Link dying from exhaustion is a "Feature", it makes the game better... or so I hear.

STamina just to swim is so stupid when you can literally use ice anyway. It's just forcing you to use a slow and tedious method to get around.I feel like the stamina wheel should stay fully green for a bit and then start going down. i know link isn't some super strong person, but I never like stamina bars/wheels. And I avoid swimming at all costs most of the time, but I never really thought about using ice to be honest. Guess I'm a newb.

If you have a stamina bar, then you should see the true stamina value. Not some kinda true version.
I know that. The people giving the game 11/10s don't...I think a lot of the reviews came from people not finishing the full game.
I think that'd be bad. If you have a stamina bar, then you should see the true stamina value. Not some kinda true version.Maybe, I haven't opened it yet. I'm still recovering from FF 15 and Horizon, and I know this game is gonna drain me (I'm a completionist). I didn't even finish FF 15.
I think having stamina slowly recharge while you're still in the water would work.
I think a lot of the reviews came from people not finishing the full game.
Not as a slight to reviewers, but literally I think the game would be better if you're not trying to do everything. As a 50 hour experience, the repetition wouldn't be as annoying/noticeable.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the first great multiplayer game for Nintendo Switch - Video - CNET (https://www.cnet.com/videos/mario-kart-8-deluxe-is-the-first-great-multiplayer-game-for-nintendo-switch/)Didnt see the video but what made you think that o.O?
Sounds like what I feared. Nintendo needs a 10 inch XL Switch
Didnt see the video but what made you think that o.O?4 player split screen Mario Kart doesn't work well on 6 inches. They also hated the joycons for the game.
Nintendo Stock is higher than it's been since Jan. 2009Just because of a monster hunter switch port, right?
Just because of a monster hunter switch port, right?It's not the only reason.
It's not the only reason.I just meant today's bump.
(http://funkyimg.com/i/2tBRH.png)
Pokemon Go is the bump by 2016 (the big bump after the first big bump by 2015), then there's a slight dip after that, and it's been rising since March.
They saw a fairly big bump because of Monster Hunter, but I don't really think it wouldn't have happened without it. Probably would have taken longer though.
I'm not entirely sure what happened April 13th, but I made this.

I keep forgetting that I own a Switch.You should sell it for a high price.
You should sell it for a high price.A friend bought it for me. Called it an early Christmas gift.
I just meant today's bump.Well I did answer your question. ::)
Yeah it's been having a lot of bumps in general.
I keep forgetting that I own a Switch.I think I forgot you had a Switch too.
A friend bought it for me. Called it an early Christmas gift.Unless this friend has a ball, sell it.
Unless this friend has a ball, sell it.ball or not, that's a sucker thing to do. Not selling it. I don't need the money.

Like I was thinking of picking one up today at Anime North with Mario Kart. But it seems like that's a bad idea.

Breath of the wild's puzzles are pretty average. The world and exploration are so great but the rest is whatever imo. I'm surprised it received so much universal praise instead of being more decisive.Sounds like standard procedure for a console Zelda. (The universal praise, despite not being as perfect as it's first made out to be)
Breath of the wild's puzzles are pretty average. The world and exploration are so great but the rest is whatever imo. I'm surprised it received so much universal praise instead of being more decisive.The puzzles are okay for me.
Breath of the wild's puzzles are pretty average. The world and exploration are so great but the rest is whatever imo. I'm surprised it received so much universal praise instead of being more decisive.I'd have to agree. Maybe were a couple puzzles I thought were great, but mostly average. I honestly think the openness is great for sure, but a lot of it is so empty and it's mostly the same enemies over and over. It gets bland and boring quickly for me. I still need to get back into it though.
THe motion control shrines are a fun change of pace.I've only done one of those but I can see them getting somewhat monotonous, the combat system in general isn't that outstanding.
BEtter than the combat trials imo. Those suck after the first one.
You can't think of any more negatives, even nitpicky ones?Well one of my main gripes is the enemy variety is sparse. Still love the game though
You can't think of any more negatives, even nitpicky ones?Gamepad is the only nitpicky one I can think of.
I hated the house building quest. It started off so cool but the ending was so disappointing. I wanted so badly to have house RPG elements and I was enjoying the story so I b lined into the bird city just to get the helper and teleported back.You mean the Tarrey town quest alongside the house building quest?
Instead it just feels like any other town in the game once you've finished it.
You mean the Tarrey town quest alongside the house building quest?Yeah Tarrey town. I loved getting the first house and I was really hoping there could be more too it.
Yeah, the house building quest was okay but didnt offer as much as something like Harvest moon.
Even the custom town you build isnt that custom, especially compared to games like breath of fire II where you can design your own town choosing what style and what NPCs to visit but its just a little side quest and didnt really look into it that much, helped me get a lot of bomb arrows though xD.
It was like the last thing I did right before I went and fought Ganon.
I seriously find it being such a large open world a negative to be honest. It's so bland most of the time traveling and coming on the same enemies over and over doesn't help. I just don't feel compelled to explore. Shrines don't have quite as much variety as there needs to be, which I think comes down to there being so many. Some are quite awesome though. But hey opinions and all. Its not even a 9/10 for me. More like 8 to 8.5I haven't played it yet, but I had this issue with Horizon. I think they need to figure out a better way to do open world games.
I haven't played it yet, but I had this issue with Horizon. I think they need to figure out a better way to do open world games.Do it like MGSV!
Do it like MGSV!MGS was worse! I have to say I spent more time retaking the same dang base in that game than playing through all of MGS 3. There's hundreds of bases in that game! I understand putting enemies back in a base for story missions, but once you take them over they should be empty.
Put less emphasis on finding hidden secrets and treat zones like individual levels.
Yeah Tarrey town. I loved getting the first house and I was really hoping there could be more too it.Hopefully they make the next 3D Zelda like breath of the wild but with improvements and more extended versions of aspects introduced like Tarrey Town.

I understand putting enemies back in a base for story missions, but once you take them over they should be empty.No! The enemies are replaced with new soldiers just like what would happen in real life. They'll even get new equipment to deal with your strategies from previous fights.

No! The enemies are replaced with new soldiers just like what would happen in real life. They'll even get new equipment to deal with your strategies from previous fights.No. In real life people put soldiers defending the new base to make sure the old owners of the base don't come back.
Yes I want more RPG!
No. In real life people put soldiers defending the new base to make sure the old owners of the base don't come back.Oh like Snake would put his people there? To me it never felt like that was the objective.
No. In real life people put soldiers defending the new base to make sure the old owners of the base don't come back.I would imagine it would depend on cost vs value, realistically.
I haven't played it yet, but I had this issue with Horizon. I think they need to figure out a better way to do open world games.Yeah, but zelda is even worse in my opinion. At least in horizon the world is super varied and finding new locations was amazing. Zelda's just felt so "bleh" to me. It's probably a hard issue to fix or at least finding a different way of doing it.
Oh like Snake would put his people there? To me it never felt like that was the objective.
I would imagine it would depend on cost vs value, realistically.It's a video game!
It's a video game!A video game that's not about taking over afghanistan!
A video game that's not about taking over afghanistan!dang nabbit Mike!

I think I'll make Sonic Mania my second Switch game, seems like a good fit.Planning to get the game on PC sometime in the future.
Planning to get the game on PC sometime in the future.I haven't played a Sonic game since Sonic 3, which might be why this one intrigues me so much. And I'm spending a lot of time out of town currently, so the Switch version is the best option for me currently.
I got most of the sonic games on it, might as well :p.
Speaking of Sonic and Nintendo - I bought Sonic Lost World which was originally exclusive to the WiiU (but I bought my copy on PC) - I should play it sometime, havent played a Sonic game for a while.
I haven't played a Sonic game since Sonic 3, which might be why this one intrigues me so much. And I'm spending a lot of time out of town currently, so the Switch version is the best option for me currently.Oooh - last sonic game I played was Generations on Steam and it was fantastic.
Last good Sonic game was Sonic Adventure 2. There I said it.Fixed. ;D
Seriously whose bright idea was it to lock a shrine behind the more or less randomly appearing blood moons? BotW has some seriously trashy quest designs.Sadly every game like this shows it flaws.

I've been playing Zelda again. The town building quest was just so unfulfilling that I put the game down for 5 months.Yeah, a lot of the sidequests are bland as hell, so I didn't bother with them in the end either. I hope the DLC expansion this holiday season will be good though.
I'm still enjoying it but I'm skipping a lot of content. The game is way too repetitive with so many things. Tomorrow I might go ahead and fight ganon to finish it up. I have max stamina and 16 hearts.
Yeah, a lot of the sidequests are bland as hell, so I didn't bother with them in the end either. I hope the DLC expansion this holiday season will be good though.No Mario+Rabbids?
Regarding th Switch I'm really looking forward to Mario, cause I've bought 3 games after Zelda, simply to be able to use the system (and because I've spend a decent amount of time in a hotel these last few months) and have been varying degrees of disappointed with all of them.
Sonic Mania was fine for one playthrough but I have no desire to play it again.
Golf Story is pretty neat but some of it is really bothering me.
And while I'm not far into Stardew Valley I'm already tired of it and feel it was a complete mistake for me to buy that game.
So come on Mario, I need another game I really enjoy on the Switch.
Animal Crossing mobile direct tomorrow.Not interested whatsoever
No Mario+Rabbids?
Not interested whatsoeverWhy is that?
Why is that?I don't care gor rabbids or realtime strategy
Besides Zelda and Mario, it'd be my top most wanted switch game.

Nintendo for some reason has the review embargo up 1 day before release...Possible contender for game of the year has an embargo up for that long.Maybe they want to concentrate all of the positive news to the game's launch day instead of having it a week early?
Are there any zelda secrets I should make sure not to miss before going off to fight ganon?Finding all the memories, everything else doesn't matter I think.

well im now the owner of a switch, but it must remain tucked away in a closet for just over a month lolVery Nice!
was wanting to get it before the mad holiday rush, but wanted to make sure i got a deal. There is a store in canada called shoppers drug mart, a 24 hour pharmacy that has a tiny dog electronics department. resetera's canadian deal thread had a 20% off online coupon on "almost everything" lol luckily that included the switch. plus earned like 10$ in there points program. crazy good deal.
well im now the owner of a switch, but it must remain tucked away in a closet for just over a month lolTo be honest, I could walk into any store right now to buy one. Not sure why you were worried :P

So my switch wishlist is the console, Mario Odyssey, Mario kart, Mario+rabbids kingdom battle, extra joy-con pair and a set of wheel attachments for joy-cons.Ditch the extra joycons or the wheel attachement. ;D
Without any sales or offers that comes to ~£480. I don't like spending all that in one go but I'm going to get it all anyway so I might as well do it on black Friday. My aim is to try and get that below £400, so we'll see.
Tesco are already doing a deal to get kingdom battle for free with a Mario Odyssey bundle, saving £40 already. Can't decide whether to bite or see if I can get a better deal than that on BF itself.
Help plz
Yeah you don't need the extra joycons unless you are playing with more than 2 players.Yeah it is tempting, but it's up until the 22nd so I have time to ponder.
I honestly would go with the Tesco deal.
Tell your friends to get another Switch. I don't think 4 player Mario Kart would work well with that 6 inch screen. 4 payer Mario over 2 Switches on the other hand..There are these things called TVs
There are these things called TVsThey have his friends pitch in the rest of the joycons. Those things are hella expensive.

I got spooked by the switch disappearing from stock everywhere and got the neon+mario odyssey+ kingdom battle for £329 bundle from GAME.Enjoy!
Hype!
Man, Mario Odyssey is pure joy. I can't stop smiling while I'm playing it. My only complaint so far is that the camera is slightly annoying to control, but that's only minor. 2 player is pretty fun to play as well, although if you only have 2 joy cons the control scheme isn't the best.Woot! Woot! :D
Woot! Woot! :DYeah it just gets better and better. New Donk City is sooooo good.
That sounds amazing!
Nooooooooo.Depends on your financial situation, doesn't it?
I had convinced myself that Mario wasn't worth buying a whole console for :P
Depends on your financial situation, doesn't it?Well I'm not sure I could even justify Odyssy alone with my current financial situation, but I was telling myself that it wouldn't be the best slplurge anyway ::)

I 'finished' the game but I am so nowhere near done. It just keeps surprising me and putting a smile on my face.

Even when it gets a bit more frustrating and difficult I still have so much fun. I'm so happy I still have over 400 more moons to get :D
I'm also enjoying kingdom battle and I'm super hyped for MK8D at Christmas, which I'll play loads, so the switch is very worth it for me already. Thinking of getting Zelda soon too.
Kingdom battle is getting better and better as it goes along. Its just constantly adding more and more options into the gameplay mix. You never go for more than a couple of battles without some new mechanic being added. Be it a new enemy, a new skill for one of your team members, a new team member etc. And its still super fun to playI was so shocked at E3 when it was shown. Leaks made it sound like trash. Instead it's an awesome xcom clone.
I'm very impressed.
Haven't gotten to that part yet, but I present the height of the character design in Xenolade Chronicles 2:Well that doesn't make me confident in the game's quality.Spoiler for Hidden:
What a massive embarrassment.
Well that doesn't make me confident in the game's quality.I've been playing it and I'm not confident in the game's quality.
My thoughts are exactly like Der's. The DLC was underwhelmingn since I thought it wasn't after you beat Ganon. The shrines were the best in the game and the cutscenes were good just not how I imagined it to be. The final boss thought is fantastic imo.The final boss was good, but
7/10 for me
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 was a mistake
The final boss was good, butI agree with that.Spoiler for Hidden:

Really really good analysis.Yeah, I saw that months ago, I remember agreeing with most of what he said. Joseph Anderson makes great videos, even with most of them imo being too long.
I agree with all of the puzzle talk and didn't notice all of the combat exploit problems since I tried to ignore it.
Yeah, I saw that months ago, I remember agreeing with most of what he said. Joseph Anderson makes great videos, even with most of them imo being too long.I'm sure it's been posted here before but yeah I just finally had the time to watch it.
I just saw Michael Damiani from Easy Allies repeat that line from Resetera about how Skyrim on the Switch sold 100k at retail, but close to 200k with digital and refered to it as information from "a source".Yeah at least they're just live commenting, not as bad as reporting it in an article.
What it actually was, was some dogsombrero on Resetera taking the 100k retail number fro Skyrim, that was leaked by somebody else and then adding 40% to that number based on something MatPiscatella supposedly said in the thread, even though I'm only able to find comments of him fairly clearly stating that he doesn't have digital data on the Switch.
I hate this shame, this is how rumours like this get started, clueless people see comments like this and just start parroting them without thinking about it whatsoever. -.-
Yeah at least they're just live commenting, not as bad as reporting it in an article.https://youtu.be/68clVX7rkDk?t=1h53m12s
Link and timestamp?
During psx I remember Kyle making a comment about Switch dominating PS4 in the west. Nintendo is complex atm.
I was super worried I wouldn't like Breath of the Wild but so far I'm absolutely loving it. I can see why its gotten so much praise and is dominating the game of the year awards.How far are you into it?
How far are you into it?I've done 4 shrines in the second region and talked to Impa at Kakariko village.
It's a really really good game despite having so many things wrong with it.
I've done 4 shrines in the second region and talked to Impa at Kakariko village.Oh so you've just finished the tutorial ::)
XC2 crashed on me and I lost like an hour of progress because the game doesn't really have any sort of autosave feature, great.... -.-Yeah the technical issues are terrible.
I've played a lot more of Zelda and I'm just finding it more and more impressive. I've now done about 40 shrines and divine beast vah ruta, and explored most of the east of the map.That's awesome dude. Glad your enjoying it.
Might dethrone the last of us as the best game I've ever played at this rate :o
I've played a lot more of Zelda and I'm just finding it more and more impressive. I've now done about 40 shrines and divine beast vah ruta, and explored most of the east of the map.I really want to play this game. Not going to buy an whole system for just that though.

I really want to play this game. Not going to buy an whole system for just that though.I bought the switch for this, mario odyssey, mario kart and kingdom battle. Add in golf quest and its already worth it for me.
I bought the switch for this, mario odyssey, mario kart and kingdom battle. Add in golf quest and its already worth it for me.Holy cow. :o
Also I just finished the game twice, firstly after not getting all the memories and secondly after getting them all.
Definitely my new favourite game ever.
Holy cow. :oWell, Odyssey and Zelda are two of my top 10 all time games ever (along with horizon from earlier in the year), but that's about it :D I guess you can add Divnity Original Sin 2 as one of my favourite ever RPGs (I need to play more of this) and AC Origins as one of my favourite game worlds.
You have been having a lot of favorite games lately!

We shouldn't vote for GOTY for at least a few more weeks since I think a lot of us are in the middle of finishing 2017 games, but it'll be packed.
I've just had a great year with gaming, in 2016 I struggled to pick games for GOTY. I think I came up with two: Uncharted 4 and Pokemon Sun. Apart from that I didn't play any games I thought were worth mentioning as GOTY. This year I have about 10 games I think are worth at least mentioning and 3 that are stand-out incredible. Its not like I played more games this year either, I played about the same amount.
2017 has been boss. We shouldn't vote for GOTY for at least a few more weeks since I think a lot of us are in the middle of finishing 2017 games, but it'll be packed.I'm fine the game I'm currently finishing isn't getting anywhere near my GOTY list. :P
I'm fine the game I'm currently finishing isn't getting anywhere near my GOTY list. :PWhat's that?
What's that?Xenoblade 2
Xenoblade 2Oh, yeah that game doesn't look so good to me.
Xenoblade 2You haven't abandoned it? I was worried it was really really bad.
You haven't abandoned it? I was worried it was really really bad.It's mediocre. I hate it half the time, especially the freaking randomized Blade system, but the other half is pretty good.
Woohoo any clues what it's for?Smash Bros. is my guess.
Smash Bros. is my guess.Oh that'd be big if it's not a port!
I expect nothing (small games that nobody cares about)Nah get hype!
Insiders on Resetera are saying it's going to be a good one.::)

He's just jokingHe is what people call a "P.R. Nightmare" His bosses probably forced him to explain the Bayonetta and Nintendo situation since he's shitted on his fans enough.
Yeah the analogue sticks are garbage. They're not quite vita bad though, that's a bit hsrshVita has great sticks for mobile. Way better than the psp nub.
Yeah the analogue sticks are garbage. They're not quite vita bad though, that's a bit hsrshI like the vita ones :o
Vita has great sticks for mobile. Way better than the psp nub.
I like the vita ones :oAgreed but playing shooters like Uncharted on vita was horrible because it was still quite hard to be precise. Switch is only slightly better.
I mean, it's not PS4 quality but for a mobile device it's amazing
Super Smash Bros for Switch leak:OMG they brought all the fan favorites back!

Agreed but playing shooters like Uncharted on vita was horrible because it was still quite hard to be precise. Switch is only slightly better.Yup. To be fair I didn't play many shooters on Vita. But uncharted worked well with motion control added indeed
The way they get around it is motion controls for more precise aiming, which once you get used to it works really well.
Super Smash Bros for Switch leak:No Goku, no buying.

I'm really impressed with how good Super Mario Odyssey looks.You have it?
You have it?My brother in law has it. I only got to play it for a little while. It's pretty cool.
I'm really impressed with how good Super Mario Odyssey looks.Its gorgeous. Feels amazing to play as well, controls are incredible and the gameplay is always fun. Everytime I'm reminded of the game I have an extremely strong desire to play it again, that's not very common for me.
I'ved heard mixed things about odyssey. Need to play it!Yes you do! Everyone does!
Octopath traveller seems so "generic" every time I see a trailer.I read good stuff at E3 but still never really piqued my interest. It's just really great. The story telling, dialogue and voice acting is top notch and I love the battle system. It's the classic JRPG turn based stuff but with its own unique elements.
Awesome that you loved the demo since I've been hoping it'd be a surprise hit. (I know many fans have loved it since the first announcement, but it'd be a surprise for me)
We hope you're ready. #DOOM Eternal will launch on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. pic.twitter.com/J9DCga2YoW

I have a bit of interest in it but definitely going to wait for reviews/ impressions first.
Looking very average but it's not like it's been marketed as a great story. Wonder if casual people will like it.
I've never been one to reply games. In fact I can't think of any games I've replayed in the last 5 years except for DA:I. I replayed that mostly for the platinum trophy but also because fudge all was coming out around that time and I was bored. I tried to start replaying God of War but I found I'm already getting bored and losing motivation.Breath of the Wild gets lots of stuff wrong. It's far from perfect.
The one single game I'm happy to keep coming back to and continue to enjoy it as much as ever is Breath of the Wild. I still don't fully understand why this game gets to me so much, but it does continue to prove to me that its my favourite game of all time and nothing really comes close. I can't see myself ever getting tired of playing it.
Breath of the Wild gets lots of stuff wrong. It's far from perfect.For me its as close to perfection as a game can possibly be. But hey, we have opinions for a reason.
Yet I'm in the same boat. Just existing in its world feels so unique and nice. I bet I'll replay it once I get a switch.
And then there's me, who replays games for a very long time.I wish I could but I just get bored with them so quickly.
I got to the part where I had to aimlessly find spots where Zelda took pictures... needless to say I never put the game back on.You don't have to do that, and if you don't care about searching for them yourself you can just look them up.
You don't have to do that, and if you don't care about searching for them yourself you can just look them up.That's also the last part where they tell you where the next part to go to. Between that and the terrible design choices for simple things, Im not having fun and would rather not continue.
I found looking for them quite fun anyway, and the memories were always great
That's also the last part where they tell you where the next part to go to. Between that and the terrible design choices for simple things, Im not having fun and would rather not continue.Well they give you the locations of the four divine beasts, you're supposed to just pick one of those to go to. I get that some people don't like some of the design choices. One that I don't like is the rain, but pretty much everything else I think they got right.
For me its as close to perfection as a game can possibly be. But hey, we have opinions for a reason.The bad parts imo only stand out because the rest is so great. They're not bad compared to average games. Like the shrines were cool but most puzzles were standard and the combat shrines weren't as cool.
I wish I could but I just get bored with them so quickly.

Really?Weapon durability - awesome system, keeps you thinking about what weapons to use in what situations, encourages more tactical thinking. I've never once had a problem of running out of weapons in 120+ hours of play
Weapon durability?
Story?
Side Quests?
Open world activities and rewards for said activities?
Combat?
The game is fine, but its cracks started showing really bad for me after a couple dozen hours.
Weapon durability - awesome system, keeps you thinking about what weapons to use in what situations, encourages more tactical thinking. I've never once had a problem of running out of weapons in 120+ hours of playI say "really", because I for one consider the game to be blatantly overrated as is pretty much par for the course with Nintendos main franchises and because I secondly can list several complaints and areas that can be improved upon even in my favourite games, so I personally find it weird to hear someone say he can only list one thing he didn't like in a game.
Story - sure its minimal but I really like what's there
Side quests - there are some really fun ones, but mostly they are just filler to add more to do
Open world - best open world I've ever played in, its just so fun to meander around and explore. Shrines obviously give great rewards, and korok rewards are super useful
Combat - I like it a lot, its much more fun than most open world RPGs I've played (such as Skyrim, TW3), there's no skill points or anything like that but there's a good amount of depth to it.
Sure they could have added more or done some things differently but to me what is in the game is pretty much perfect and I wouldn't want to change any of it.
Also you say "really?" like its a surprising point of view when this is the best reviewed game in a long time and its very widely loved. I get that some people don't like it much but I just love it.

Weapon durability is bandaid solution Nintendo thought of because they couldn't design a combat system in which weapons are actually distinct and interesting enough to use, that people want to try the different type of weapons out themselves (like for instance something like Bloodborne or MHW manage), so instead they just made weapons break constantly. It never actually made me think about what weapons to use in which situation as, like you said yourself, you never are in danger of running out of weapons anyway. It simply made me avoid combat scenarios because they would just break my gear and because they mostly didn't provide worthwile rewards anyways.
I don't want filler side quests, that area is actually one of my biggest gripe with modern games, game worlds are getting bigger and bigger but the actual content filling these games is still often not up to snuff and BotW is a prime example of exactly that. Shrines are fine, even if their quality varies a lot, but I consider the side quests mostly garbage and Korok seeds not a good way to fill the map either, I remember collecting only about a hundred of those and not even handing all of them in and still never feeling any need to acquire more equipment slots.
I guess BOTW is one of those games where if it clicks for you then everything just works, but if it doesn't click then things just don't work.That's how I'd sum it up too since I experienced it both ways. At first I disliked weapon durability since it was annoying, then I loved it since it clicked with me, but then I disliked it again towards the end game when it started making me want to not fully explore the world.

As we all know this is a very poor year for big Nintendo titles so far. It's really been selling well off the back of last years hype and handful of excellent games.I hadn't really realised Switch was in an exclusives drought.
But i find it sad that most Nintendo fans can forgive this years line up because of 2 games. Pokemon which isn't even a mainline entry and smash which is an ultimate edition of a Wii u game.
If Sony pulled something like that in its year 2 it would be crucified. I know Nintendo fans probably own at least 1 other console but they really should be shouting at Nintendo from the rooftops. Unlike other years Nintendo only have 1 platform to support now. No excuse.
I hadn't really realised Switch was in an exclusives drought.Really? It's been an awful year. I only bought 2 games on switch and I didn't really like one of those.
It's not that bad though. Switch has at least had some good Wii U ports.

I hadn't really realised Switch was in an exclusives drought.Last gen ports are an easy cop out. And saying 2019 will be good is a bit premature. Games get easily delayed nowadays.
It's not that bad though. Switch has at least had some good Wii U ports.
In comparison to PS4 and XB1 at that point in their lives it's only a bit worse.PS4 and XB1 had decent multiplats though, switch has barely any.
Guys 2019 will be betterOh yeah once Pokémon lands there's solid games coming to switch, just most of this year has been rough. I'm excited for next year.
Fire Emblem 3 Houses
Yoshi Crafted World
Animal Crossing Switch
New Super Mario Bros U DX
Pokémon Gen 8
Luigi's Mansion 3
Dues Ex Machina
Once Smash Bros hits it'll be a good time.
I think new hardware is coming out a year after Smash anyways ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ so no need to worry. Switch 2 will have your new Mario and Zelda games.New Nintendo Switch hardware coming next year, says WSJ - The Verge (https://www.theverge.com/2018/10/4/17935636/new-nintendo-switch-rumor-release-date-wsj)
I think new hardware is coming out a year after Smash anyways ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ so no need to worry. Switch 2 will have your new Mario and Zelda games.Hardly gonna be a Switch 2. If they make exclusives on the new system then that would be a horrible punch in the face and people would not be happy.
Hardly gonna be a Switch 2. If they make exclusives on the new system then that would be a horrible punch in the face and people would not be happy.How is that any different than every console and handheld released after the NES and GB? Nintendo runs on 5 year timelines. I don't see why this will be any different than the past. I mean, 3DS came out with the DS still selling like hotcakes. The DS came out 3 years after the GBA came out, and that managed to sell an average, close to 30 million units a year. The Wii was the only console they sort of held onto, and its successor came out what, 6 years after?
How is that any different than every console and handheld released after the NES and GB? Nintendo runs on 5 year timelines.:o
:oDid I say a year after Smash? Seriously, I don't remember.
The Nintendo Switch came out last year.
A successor coming a year after Smash would only be 2.5 years, not 5.
I think new hardware is coming out a year after Smash anywaysYou certainly did. About 2.5 years too early.
You certainly did. About 2.5 years too early.In my mind smash is coming out in 2 years XD
Smash Bros story mode cinematic trailer was fudgy incredible.

Playing smash Bros on the TV, fun four player times with four joy cons. Flat mates want to stop and watch TV, but I still wanna play. So I slide the switch out and carry on in handheld mode.Just like the Wii U.

Anything related to those god dang stickers in Smash is hot garbage. Also unlocking of characters gets increasingly more frustrating the more characters you already have, at least for someone who's not that familiar with Smash. I imagine it's easier if you do it through the "story mode" (which up to the point that I've played had no story but whatever) but getting characters there also seems to take a lot longer, plus that mode forces you to interact with that stupid sticker system and I'm not even sure if you unlock all characters in there anyways.Stickers looked like they'd suck so it's not surprising that they do suck.

The spirits (I assume that's what you mean by stickers) is a decent system. The support spirits having some significant gameplay modifiers is cool.The spirits are the same unnecessarily overbloated gacha crud that Nintendo already did in XC2 last year. That entire spirit board mode (or whatever it's called, I'm playing in german, no clue about the english terms) is a complete travesty. Spirits only stay for a couple minutes, you only have one try to beat their challenge at a time and even if you win you aren't even guaranteed to get the spirit as you still need to win that shooting mini game. It's amazing they haven't actually implemented microtransaction into this, cause purely by design this screams "Hey, don't wanna wait so long? How about you give us a couple bucks".
Getting new characters is pretty slow with having to wait 10 mins to fight a new challenger, but I'm playing world of light mainly anyway so I don't mind.
Also Sheikh is by far my favourite and she's the third character you unlock in WOL so I'm gooood.
Just like the Wii U.Burn!
(https://memegenerator.net/img/instances/82455426/i-should-get-a-switch.jpg)You should! Its already got a lot of great games. Although if you had a WiiU I'm not sure if the Switch is super high value yet. These are the games I have on Switch:
Y'all forgot games like Splatoon 2, Super Mario Party, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, etc.Only interested in Splatoon 2 out of those, and even then I'm not really one to play multiplayer games on my own.
Finished world of light with 34 hours play time. I definitely missed a load of fights as well, so I think there's an easy 40+ hours in there. Overall I think it was really good, my main complaint is that difficulty was only really introduced through battleship. There was barely any satisfying difficult fights.How was world of light compared to subspace emissary?
With classic mode to play as well there must be easily 60+ hours single player content, so definitely worth buying Smash even if you're just going to be playing on your own.
How was world of light compared to subspace emissary?They're very different. I can barely remember subspace, I know I loved it but I was only a kid at the time and I loved all sorts of shame. Internet consensus seems to be that world of light is better. I think it probably is, its just missing the epic cutscenes that subspace had.
Is there an option to keep fighters selected after a match? Re-selecting them every time is sucky and odd.I think there is but I'm not sure.
I think there is but I'm not sure.I hope I find it. Selecting the map before the fighters wouldn't be a problem that way.
Odyssey time!Enjoy!
Enjoy!Don't underestimate how bad I am at games 8)
Don't be expecting too much of a challenge, just have a lot of fun :D
Don't underestimate how bad I am at games 8)Odyssey is very easy though, and that's coming from someone who's pretty bad at platformers :P
Smash's campaign is starting to feel a bit too long. It's way too repetitive from one fight to another to stay super interesting after so many hours. Still enjoying it but I'm close to just dropping to easy and skipping optional fights.I mixed it up by playing different characters, but I never thought it got repetitive. I loved it all the way through.

Still enjoying it but I'm close to just dropping to easy and skipping optional fights.When I saw how many people you had to unlock, I just noped myself away from wanting to play it.
When I saw how many people you had to unlock, I just noped myself away from wanting to play it.Unlocking fighters is really cool. Why wouldn't you enjoy that?
When I saw how many people you had to unlock, I just noped myself away from wanting to play it.Doesn't take long if you don't want it to, and you can unlock them in multiple ways. If you like playing the game then unlocking characters just happens naturally.
What the f, world of light just keeps on going.Lol yeah it does. I was fine with that though, it was really good single player content. Only the odd battle felt like pure battleship and made me want to punch a hole in the wall 8)

I'm wanting to move on to Super Mario Odyssey. That's definitely not helping my enjoyment at this stage.Easy difficulty with olimar. You'll stroll right through no problem
What difficulty did you play on?
Easy difficulty with olimar. You'll stroll right through no problemI just finished! Really liked it.
I'm wanting to move on to Super Mario Odyssey. That's definitely not helping my enjoyment at this stage.Normal and I mixed up fighters. Although Pikachu was my most used, followed by sheik.
What difficulty did you play on?
I just finished! Really liked it.You must have rushed through with only 23 hours!
Normal with kirby. Dropped to easy for last fight and used samus as extra. Got the true ending. Didn't realize I did the harder fight haha.
23 hours to finish.
Normal and I mixed up fighters. Although Pikachu was my most used, followed by sheik.Took me 17 hours to 100% on normal :-X
You must have rushed through with only 23 hours!
Took me 17 hours to 100% on normal :-XWere you using olimar the whole time?
Were you using olimar the whole time?Only for the harder ones! I used mr game and watch and Mario
Only for the harder ones! I used mr game and watch and MarioInteresting. I don't know what you did, since the most common 100% time I saw being knocked around was about 40 hours.
Interesting. I don't know what you did, since the most common 100% time I saw being knocked around was about 40 hours.I did 99% so I have no clue where that 40 hours came from. How long did it take you?
I did 99% so I have no clue where that 40 hours came from. How long did it take you?34 hours and I'm not sure what %, probably about 95%. I was messing around with new characters for quite a while, and I'm not very good, but I'm not sure how I'd be that much slower.
34 hours and I'm not sure what %, probably about 95%. I was messing around with new characters for quite a while, and I'm not very good, but I'm not sure how I'd be that much slower.I play competitively so that is probably why. I only had problems on Pauline's spirit which was battleship to the max.
Odyssey is amazing!Better than Astro Bot?
I think 3D mario might be my favorite series at the moment.
Better than Astro Bot?He hasn't played .
Better than Astro Bot?
He hasn't played .Even so, the answer is yes :P
Astrobot>Super Mario GalaxyI hated the wii mote stuff in galaxy so I'll agree with that!
I don't know how Odyssey compares yet.
Astrobot>Super Mario GalaxyOh no you didn't.
I don't know how Odyssey compares yet.
Finished the main part of odyssey. Now to find all the moons and coins without a guide.Finding all the moons is gonna be pretty tough. I stopped when I'd unlocked all the content (I think it was around 500 moons).
So Yoshi got a random trailer and release date announcement. March 29. That's strange to announce it like that.Plenty of people panicking and thinking the Jan direct has been cancelled since this and Dragon's Dogma have been announced out of the blue.
Odyssey is very easy though, and that's coming from someone who's pretty bad at platformers :PIt's not very easy!
The post-post-post game level is very hard though, and some side levels can get difficult.
It's not very easy!Yeah it was unnecessarily difficult for how long it was.
And the post-post-post level was very very hard!!!
I managed to beat it but that bird section was hell.
https://gearnuke.com/nintendo-planning-launching-smaller-cheaper-switch-end-of-fy2019-rumor/ (https://gearnuke.com/nintendo-planning-launching-smaller-cheaper-switch-end-of-fy2019-rumor/)What do you guys think of this? A smaller, cheaper switch to tap into that DS audience makes sense, but I have no idea how they'd do it.
Nintendo is apparently planning on introducing a smaller, cheaper Switch by the end of the 2019 Financial Year.
Although Nintendo had a very strong year (https://gearnuke.com/15-out-of-top-20-selling-games-in-japan-are-on-the-nintendo-switch-top-selling-console-this-week-by-a-huge-margin/), they didn't end on as strong of a note that they were expecting. The Japanese gaming giant was forced to reduced their yearly expected sales (https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2019/190131e.pdf) down to 17 million at the earnings release for the period between April 2018 and March 2019. They were previously hoping for 20 million units between the same time-frame.
Do note Nintendo CEO Shuntaro Furukawa mentioned late last year that their initial internal goal of 20 million was certainly "not easy" (https://gearnuke.com/nintendo-president-nintendo-switch-100m/).
To combat this Japanese publication Nikkei reports (https://www.nikkei.com/article/DGXMZO4075094031012019TJ1000/) that Nintendo will be bringing a cheaper, smaller Switch variant to the market sometime in the 2019 Financial Year (April 2019 to March 2020). The report mentions this variant of the Switch will be more "portable" and "easy to carry around", probably something to replace the 3DS? Or maybe a Switch that's fully portable without the docking ability? Click to expand... It was also mentioned that this Switch will come at a cheaper price, something the shareholders have been requesting for a while. This will however have to be done without compromising on functionality. Click to expand...

According to their affiliates, they are 'miniaturizing the console with portability and playing outdoors in mind, as well as cutting features to reduce the price and expand the userbase."

Why would they double down on 2d zelda after botw?What do you mean? They can easily make 2d and 3d zeldas at the same time.
Why would they double down on 2d zelda after botw?It sounds like Nintendo still didn't figure out next gen development. Pikman and Metroid restarting isn't good. I'm assuming a new 3D Zelda will probably take 5+ years to develop. They need something so they always go back to 2D when that happens.
Why would they double down on 2d zelda after botw?If they remake Link's Awakening then that's ok in my book. ;D
If they remake Link's Awakening then that's ok in my book. ;DActually funny enough that's been rumored...for 3ds....
Actually funny enough that's been rumored...for 3ds....Well fudge that noise, what a waste that would be.
Very heavy rumours (its practically confirmed) that there's going to be a Direct next week, most likely Wednesday. Its about time!Don't you mean this week?
This is what's been said on Era so far by a few reliable insiders:
- Direct next week (13th).
- Metroid Prime Trilogy, Mario Maker 2, Pikmin 3 port and BoxBoy! are happening (the former will possibly be in the Direct).
- Doubled down on 2D Zelda.
- Pikmin 4 restarted development at some point.
- Third-Party support will improve this year; especially Japanese stuff. Some unpredictable surprises as well.
- Nate specifically mentioned that Kingdom Hearts was being tested/considered. Not 3 though.
Don't you mean this week?Well a post saying next week that was posted last week does indeed imply this week.
Well a post saying next week that was posted last week does indeed imply this week.Math checks out.
Well a post saying next week that was posted last week does indeed imply this week.Except you posted this week, on Sunday!

In Icelandic Tuesday means the third day, Wednesday means midweek day, Thursday means fifth day.TIL Icelandic is dumb. Weeks start on Mondays, that's just a fact.
UPDATES ON THE SUSPECTED (decently probable) DIRECT DATE AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS OP Feb. 8th[/size]
DISCLAIMER: We must all realize and understand that the hints and information dropped over the past day or so need to be taken for what they are. Nintendo is always free to change their own plans before insiders catch word of said changes.
As for king zell and Emily (just the main two), we need to make sure we understand that not everything teased for 2019 will be in the rumored Direct for next week.
Most of you have already understood this to be the case, but for those just now catching up, I repeat, it's worth understanding that all the teased games have not been teased specifically for a reveal next week.
ALSO: DO NOT MESSAGE/HARASS AND TAG 'INSIDERS' (this should go without saying, but they've alluded these things crossing the line)The thread title was not created to troll or make anyone think a Direct had been announced. The title was just copied and pasted from the admin post giving permission for said topic. Working now to clarify the title to prevent that reaction.Feb. 7th
The purpose of this thread:
To better contain the madness of ResetERA's Nintendo Direct speculation, and keep it relatively separate from the Nintendo First-Party thread.
As a general rule, let's try to avoid too much "reset the clock" type posts, until of course, we have a really good reason to think it's time to actually be resetting the clock. Madness must have some modicum of reasoning, you know?
I will do my best to gather relevant information to this OP, as potential leaks arise, and insiders come in with hints or when more informed speculation forms.
Bear with me as I update this OP based on your suggestions for the information you would like to see here! (Feel free to @ me or quote me with suggestions)
For clarification, this is Nibel's expressed permission from the staff to create this thread:
Nibel said: (http://vizioneck.com/goto/post?id=17665574) One point I'd like to address: while there will be ultimately some kind of overlap between 1st party discussions and Direct discussions, I imagine the Direct thread would be more focused on speculation, possible leaks and rumors than this one. It would basically be a thread to contain "all the madness" in one place to keep this thread more level-headed and on-topic.
We've discussed to have a dedicated thread after Moon's suggestion yesterday and came to the conclusion that this might work for the best going forward. So: if anybody is interested to make that thread, they are officially allowed to do so.
Only thing I'd like to ask for is that the OP keeps the opening post updated and tries to keep up with the discussion/speculation.
It would stay in the main Gaming forum just like this thread Click to expand... In order to better understand reason for the thread being created, Plum (https://www.resetera.com/members/44299/) has been hard at work organizing a spreadsheet that shows us the pattern, or lack thereof, for Nintendo's communication with consumers regarding their releases. Now, this does not necessitate why this thread exists, but surely gives some insight as to why there's more clamoring for a Direct than usual. The numbers in this spreadsheet reflect the days between Directs.

Feb 14th is the earliest possible date, unless they decide to throw one out on another day that would be mostly unprecedented.

Sunday is the first day of the week over here too. Also I made a live thread for the direct.See, pretty much all progressive countries in the western hemisphere do this!
How can Sunday be the next week if it's a week end ???It's not called week end in Icelandic.
Y'all trippin'.
Not really son. Lots of other places have it like usMan idk, I've never known Sunday to be called the start of the week before.
See, pretty much all progressive countries in the western hemisphere do this!
It's not called week end in Icelandic.
Monday is the first day of the week according to the international standard ISO 8601, but in the US, Canada, and Japan it's counted as the second day of the week.So its another thing Americans do wrong, and apparently Iceland is confused and thinks they're American... :P
In many cultures and languages, Monday is given a name that means either "second day" marking Sunday (https://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/days/sunday.html) to be the first day of the week or a name that means the day after Sunday.
Slavic languages number Monday as the first day, not the second day.
Most European countries' calendars show Monday as the first day of the week.

(https://i.redd.it/31hm5n49fx631.jpg)Nintendo never acted like this was a console pokemon game, but they definitely should have done more to make people expect more let's go/sun moon vs a significantly improved experience.
Nintendo never acted like this was a console pokemon game, but they definitely should have done more to make people expect more let's go/sun moon vs a significantly improved experience.There's the new Fire Emblem, which all things considered isn't an impressive looking Switch game either.
Have we seen any other 3DS franchises get a big upgrade for switch? They're kinda forced at this point to have the production values of console games or else comparisons like the above will keep happening.
A Message for Pokémon Video Game Fans : pokemon (https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/c6qgui/a_message_for_pok%C3%A9mon_video_game_fans/)Well that's pretty much nothing.
Link is down but reddit has a copy.
Astral Chain for Switch Reviews - Metacritic (https://www.metacritic.com/game/switch/astral-chain)Yeah great reviews, but dare I say from my experience so far that the game is underrated? :o
Heck yeah!
After Nier Automata I'd say I'm a fan of Platinum. Glad this game is getting great reviews.
So for once in a blue moon I pre order a game due to it's review scores and on release day Amazon tells me they can't fulfill my order on day one. So I cancel and after work check out three stores and can't find the game anywhere. >:(That's rough, I had amazon cancel on me like that once before. It was MW3 and I missed out on playing launch day with all my friends and everybody was talking about it at school the next day. I was very sad.
I hope I'll find Astral Chain tomorrow, cause I sure as hell ain't buying it digital.
That's rough, I had amazon cancel on me like that once before. It was MW3 and I missed out on playing launch day with all my friends and everybody was talking about it at school the next day. I was very sad.Eh, actually I won't be playing for a couple weeks. Still haven't close to finished Fire Emblem and then FFVIII comes next week, which has priority.
Astral Chain ain't underrated like I said it might be, the ending is very weird in many ways and I wasn't a fan of the boss fight towards the end. Story seemed exciting and promising half way through but then it becomes a full on anime mess in the worst way. Still love the combat system but it doesn't shine in harder boss fights which really disrupt your flow.It's 88 tho ;)
Others have said on Era and I can't agree more that the game has a little bit of an identity crisis. The files (chapters) have stuff you can easily miss or can't even do first time round to encourage replaying, but the first half of most of the files is much slower paced gameplay. A lot of stuff like just walking around and talking to loads of people, doing weird minigames or classic shaming quests like finding objects for someone, which are mostly fine* the first time through but really put me off the thought of replaying. Thankfully though it seems your best score for each red case is saved so you don't have to do optional stuff again in your replay, which makes it not so bad. Still though it sometimes wants to be a full on action game and sometimes wants more RPG elements and it clashes a bit, which means it doesn't fully excel in either area.
* I say mostly fine because in some files the first half is just super boring/ annoying. File 8 is the worst offender, with having lots of red cases (required for good overall file rating) being awful mini games. There's a few minigames where you have to use gyro to balance boxes which is truly awful, for example.
Anyway, that's most of my gripes with the game. I was hoping I'd super love the game and half way through I thought I might but in the end I agree with the 87/100 metascore.
It's 88 tho ;)Fine, openscore. Doesn't have the same ring to it.
That's really dumb looking.
my take is this looks like nintendo's attempt to re-bottle wii-fit. personally i'll never forgive them for selling me that shame but i expect it will sell at least 3 million.
It's odd. Would have been fine if it was just the ring, but the leg strap makes it less approachable than wii fit. Is Nintendo trying to make Switch into a Wii 2.0? First labo and now this, both fine things to exist, but it's interesting they're seemingly chasing that market again.
well here it is,.. imo probably even worse then I expected. I get the idea that you want to make fitness "fun" but this looks a bit to fitness focuses to attract a gamer and a little too gamey to attract a fitness casual. maybe i'm wrong but i just can't see my "mom" wanting to play a fitness RPG and she played wii fit for quite a few years.
and not really a game critique but dang, that dude in the video comes off soooo creepy.

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening for Switch Reviews - OpenCritic (https://opencritic.com/game/7871/the-legend-of-zelda-links-awakening)Oooh

Remake?Yeah this game is basically the definiton of a remake and I had never seen anyone even try and question that.
With Ratchet and Clank, Crash, and FF7, I think we are entering an age of rebuilding old games with modern conventions.
Yeah this game is basically the definiton of a remake and I had never seen anyone even try and question that.I fully agree.
Crash remakes have been fantastic, this is also a fantastic remake from what people are saying. FF7 is shaping up to be fantastic too by the looks of it. As a guy who's too young to have played a lot of these games when they first came out I'm all for this trend carrying on.
Remake?wow. how did that word escape my vocabulary. i am dumb.
With Ratchet and Clank, Crash, and FF7, I think we are entering an age of rebuilding old games with modern conventions.
So Ring Fit Adventure is way better than it has any right to be!You got it?
I think I will get Luigi's Mansion 3. I loved the first one.I never played them but I'm hearing such great things I think I'm gonna pick it up as well.
Eesh, pokemon fans really aren't happy. About 63% of all pokemon haven't made the sword shield cut (including the new pokemon) and the list of completely new pokemon is actually the second lowest ever.
Well to be fair, 400 pokemon is actually a rather large amount in terms of a regional dex, I think its the 3rd largest. So in terms of collecting them all then there's actually more to collect here than most pokemon games, its just that if you wanted to transfer lots of pokemon in from the bank then you can't.Spoiler for Supposed Leaked List from ERA:
I know most people aren't going to care too much.
But filling up the Pokedex was a big part of why I would play the game. I liked collecting, especially since it's much more meaningful than pretty much any other collectathon.
Looking at the list, makes me really disappointed with the new titles.
But, I also really want to play the previous games....
i've been really wanting to get a 3ds so i can play some of the older gamesSame.
Same.Well depends what you want to get out of it, in terms of pokemon catching there's about the same number in Sun&Moon and X&Y. I'd recommend playing them anyway, Sun and Moon in particular is really great.
The list makes me want to avoid the new ones and stick to the 3DS ones.
Luigi's mansion 3 is super fun, incredibly charming. Loving it after 2 hours.Yeah but I can trade them between each other and get them all. :P

Finihed Link's Awakening. Decent game, ended up using a guide for the 7th dungeon because my god was that a slog. Horrible game design involving way too much backtracking and tripping yourself over, at least by 2019 standards. I googled when I was stuck at a few points in the 8th dungeon and just before it as well. Given the great review scores and the heaps of praise this game gets I thought I was an outlier but my exact thoughts on the game are being echoed by quite a lot of people in the Era OT. And from what others are saying, I guess that's gonna be my first and last 2D zelda, since these things that I disliked the most seem to be the main traits of 2D Zelda games.I remember I was having issues when I first played the game when I was like 7. I couldn't figure out where to go. Then I tried it again later when I was in university. Borrowed the DX version from my cousin. I managed to get as far as needing to find a flute to talk to a mermaid. Or something. I had no idea where to get the flute so I had to go to a strategy guide. It was fine after that.
Thanks to its gorgeous looks, charming atmosphere, amazing soundtrack and fun earlier dungeons I think I'll give it about a 7/10. Apparently the story was supposed to be emotional so I was hoping the ending would make me feel really positive about the game but eh... it was an ok story at best and the ending was just exactly what you'd been expecting to happen since halfway through the game. Well whatever, it was a fun enough ~10 hours and at least I've experienced 2D Zelda now.
Pokemon reviewing around 80. Ign called it the best Pokemon game though. Weird that they'd review it without testing the online functionality (she mentioned it in the review)Yeah, seems like it will settle as the lowest rated new-gen pokemon game. IGN review is very much an outlier. I don't think online functionality will be a big part of the game anyway.
Sword and Shield is out?Today.
I'm enjoying pokemon way more than I was expecting. On the big screen the graphics look great, the game is insanely cute at times. I spent like 20 minutes messing around with appearance which is quite unlike me.
This does seem to be the easiest pokemon yet. I could probably look away from the screen and spam A and have won every fight so far. I expected this though.
Loving it so far.
So if you don't indulge in the wild area too much then this is actually the most challenging pokemon game in ages. I'm actually slightly under-levelled right now.Talk about a 180 haha.
Talk about a 180 haha.Haha indeed
Talk about a 180 haha.Lol. I got that impression because the game gives you so many free heals when you're on the routes between towns, and it guides you everywhere. But of course, gym battles aren't affected by this and if you're underlevelled the game will be quite hard too. However if you do any amount of raid battles in the wild area you get showered in exp.
Good god, they really ran out of time/ ideas with this pokemon story didn't they. This is terrible!
EDIT: okay it got a bit better. They definitely mixed up the ended way more than they've ever done before
Okay this is epic as fudge. The story was hilariously bad to get here but this is awesomeWell thats quite the turn around too.
Well thats quite the turn around too.Wasn't really a turnaround. Hard to explain without spoiling, but you know in pokemon there's usually the whole evil team and end of the world shame. Well this game does it a bit differently, and the way it introduces that whole segment is extraordinarily dumb and gameplay-wise its pretty stale as well. However, what it builds up to is probably the most epic fight in pokemon history.
So I finished the pokemon endgame content, got zacian to level 100 with perfect IVs etc. so I'm basically done with the game. Lots of cool new features but overall I think its a very weak pokemon entry. My gen rankings (just original games, not counting the second versions or w/e)Was it a really short game?
5>4>2>>>3>>>7>>>6>>1>8
Was it a really short game?By pokemon's standards I think its short, yes. About 20-25 hours to complete the story unless you spend ages in the wild area. That makes it the shortest pokemon game ever, I think.

Trying to work out if they mean Friday through Sunday. I think it is as we don't have a full week on sale yet
Also it has sold 2 million in Japan alone from physical and digital in the first week of sale. A step up from the low 1.3 physical that was reported, so that's almost a third digital

I wonder just how "pro" it will be. New 3DS bump? Xbox One S bump? Xbox One X bump?nintendo can feel free prove me wrong but i really doubt that nintendo can achieve an xbox one x bump without eliminating portability. for the same reason xbox series x is gigantic nintendo probably can't cram much more power in without literally going bigger. manufacturing just isn't shrinking anymore. switch is already pretty ridiculously big for a system claiming to be portable. to reach a threshold of "4.6 more powerful" switch's form factor would probably have to double in volume.
I never play switch on the go so I'd love one that really bumped up the power when docked.

Either do something fancy where the game uses the combined power of both when docked, or have it just swap to an external gpu.

Animal Crossing getting spectacular reviews, the first AC to have 90+ score I think.Lol yeah everyone stuck at home playing this
Its absolutely the perfect time for this game to release, its going to sell an insane amount of copies. I personally can't wait, I have it preloaded on my switch.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=ubRf4zyEvG4&feature=emb_title (https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=ubRf4zyEvG4&feature=emb_title)Nothing super interesting. Was hoping for BOTW2 and Metroid teases!
So Nintendo just randomly dropped a direct.
Breath of the WildIt never feels like it but I guess my switch library is getting pretty solid. Removed the ones I don't have/haven't released yet.
Super Smash Bros
Super Mario Odyssey
Luigi's Mansion
Mario + Rabbids
Animal Crossing
I gotta get Switch sometime.
Breath of the Wild+2Interested in
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Super Smash Bros
Super Mario Odyssey
(Pokemon Sword and Shield)
Mario Maker 2
Luigi's Mansion
(NSMBU Deluxe)
(Xenoblade Chronicles)
Animal Crossing
It never feels like it but I guess my switch library is getting pretty solid. Removed the ones I don't have/haven't released yet.Yeah same here, its super lacklustre compared to my PS4 library but then I remember my PS4 library is pretty freakish and the average person only buys 10 games or fewer for their system. I have on Switch:
We won my first fortnite match on switch. Seems easier than on PS4 lol. Was fun though.I don't pay for online so I don't know. Does Switch still use friend codes?
What are yall's Nintendo id's?
I don't pay for online so I don't know. Does Switch still use friend codes?Yes I think so but also normal id's. Check it.
We won my first fortnite match on switch. Seems easier than on PS4 lol. Was fun though.SW-6633-6036-8029 is my friend code!
What are yall's Nintendo id's?
SW-6633-6036-8029 is my friend code!Thanks. Will add you.
Disagree with Legend on Odyssey, I think its fantastic through and through. Not sure about the weird design decisions he mentioned. When I played SMO it was like someone had bottled up the pure, raw feeling of joy and I was overdosing on it. Weird analogy but you get the picture, I had a big goofy smile on my face for hours on end when playing that game.
BOTW is my favourite game of all time, I can't recommend it highly enough. I think its a bit hit and miss with some people but its absolutely worth trying, if the game really clicks with you its magical.
Other than that there's the obvious Smash, Mario Kart, Animal Crossing etc. I'd also recommend looking into Astral Chain, I think that's a really great game. I'd be interested to hear what you think about Pokemon since you got it, for me its incredibly weak, easily the worst mainline pokemon game.
I'm also wondering if Mario Kart is worth it without online play or much local multi-playermy opinion is both mario kart and smash are not fun enough if you don't have access to multiplayer. i loved smash on the gamecube when i was in college and we did lan parties and we probably played it for 5000 hours. when the online on wii was too terrible play with my friends (post college) i probably played it for only about 30 hours. it's not that the game was terrible but the NPCs are terrible.
Thanks. Will add you.Yeah its super easy and it just gets easier as it goes tbh, especially if you spend any time doing anything except the critical path. I have so many problems with the game, it has by far the worst main story of all the pokemon games. Plot has never been that strong for pokemon but Sword's plot is absolute garbage tier, I can't imagine even a 5 year old finding it good. The story structure is also terrible, important events happen off screen and everything is super rushed. Also the routes are by far the worst of any pokemon game, they're all short and extremely simple.
I think Odyssey should be my first buy (if I don't count Pokemon). My type of game really and so different from Pokemon. Zelda probably after that.
Smash will probably wait since I don't have online and I don't know a lot of people with switch to play locally.
I'm only like 3-4 hours into Pokemon. Liking it so far, although nothing mind-blowing. It's clearly easier than the old games (disclaimer: haven't played Pokemon since Gold/silver if we don't count mobile). For example, the whole Pokemon squad levels up when defeating enemies. I remember leveling up being way harder before. Especially Pokemon like magikarp, which can now just tag along and level up freely without doing anything. Graphics are nice, but a bit dated compared to other franchises.
What did you think was weak about it?
I'm also wondering if Mario Kart is worth it without online play or much local multi-player
Oooh mario+Rabbids is actually 75%off now. How is it?Its a good x-com style game. If you like those games its well worth it.
Oooh mario+Rabbids is actually 75%off now. How is it?That's a great price for it.
SW-6633-6036-8029 is my friend code!Odyssey is great most of the time. Just has too many underwhelming moments like lots of the moons and some of the levels.

Bought Mario+Rabbids for $12great price for a nintendo exclusive. those rarely go on deep discount. you need to let me know how you like it,.. i don't think switch has enough games to justify the console for me but this is one of the top 3 games i would be interested in.

I lost steam and haven't touched it for a year. Close to the end though.

Nintendo has seen a rise in players purchasing the incorrect DLC for their version of the game. Meaning, Sword players have been purchasing the DLC for Shield and vice versa. The company has warned players that they should check which version of the game's DLC they've selected before checking out, because these mistakes won't be refunded.I don't get it, what does Nintendo lose by being forthcoming? People who bought it wrongly would just buy the correct version after a refund.
When I purchased the DLC, I was petrified that I'd somehow selected the wrong one, and to be honest, I'm still worried now. The words "Pokémon Shield" really needed to be bolded, italicised, underlined, and surrounded with neon flashing lights to quell my fear. Well, in any event, players should now be doubly encouraged to double check before they purchase access to the upcoming content. Click to expand... Click to shrink...
And they clearly need to mark this better and/or have a warning before purchasing.
wow nintendo. what a jackass move.Why does the system even let people buy dlc for games they don't own?
When purchasing the Pokémon Sword Expansion Pass or Pokémon Shield Expansion Pass, please ensure you select the one that corresponds with the version of the game you own. If you mistakenly purchased the incorrect pass, please contact customer support. https://t.co/nPmIXrIe59

Nintendo is making preparations for an upgraded Switch model and a beefed-up games lineup for 2021, Bloomberg News has reported. Several outside game developers, speaking anonymously as the issue is private, said that Nintendo has asked them to make their games 4K-ready, suggesting a resolution upgrade is on its way
This will be gargantuan in Japan. Switch is going to set some crazy records.
looks like a big step backwards from monster hunter world. will be interesting to see how this is received by the market.Its market is nintendo fans who live in their own echochamber where monster hunter world doesn't exist. It will be compared to the last MonHun on Nintendo systems and be very well received.

Heavy vertical elements have now been added I got a BOTW vibe from watch the MHND and seeing the player being able to scale walls.
This game looks amazing. Definite influence from BotW.
Smash already has lots of weird shame.
am i the only one that think this looks terribly out of place in smash?
Nintendo Switch has 20 games above a 90 MC.to me the worst of it is every nintendo game is still at full price.
5 of which are first party. One of which is essentially a repackaging of a Wii U game.
Several of the other 15, are indie games and a couple of them you get the impression they are only there because they didn't get enough reviews.
I don't really understand Nintendo. They can make really great games when they make them.
Sony just seems concerned with making more games, better games and making them faster. Nintendo is like "I'm pretty sure I gave you what you wanted already. We made Super Mario Odyssey. You're trying to tell me you want another new 3D Mario? We just gave you one 3 years ago, you greedy son of....
Oh you want something new, we had um mario + rabbits, splatoon. That's still new right?"
to me the worst of it is every nintendo game is still at full price.Or how about when they pull things out of print? Breath of the Wild and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 are gone. I'm guessing there's a repack for Zelda coming, but I don't know about Xenoblade.
Geoff Keighley has decided to show the new Smash Bros character at the end of the Game Awards, just in case Nintendo mistakenly tries to copyright strike the stream.

Nintendo is not your friend, and this is one of the most frightening examples of this.https://www.resetera.com/threads/new-nintendo-leaks-shows-how-they-spied-and-legally-threatened-a-3ds-cfw-homebrew-developer-would-approach-him-at-his-home.348595/
A new leak has appeared as usual on 4chan, yet another one in the gigaleak series. This one is mostly pretty boring, as it contains an early Switch SDK and legal documents related to anti-piracy efforts. However, this one specially caught my attention:
https://www.docdroid.net/b39lzeo/final-enforcement-proposal-neimod-4-5-13-pdf (https://www.docdroid.net/b39lzeo/final-enforcement-proposal-neimod-4-5-13-pdf)
(https://i.vgy.me/ndy5k8.png)
(https://i.vgy.me/Ayeiir.png)
It's worth noting that Neimod was never involved in anything piracy-related. He was a hacker, he released exploits that allowed CFW in the Nintendo 3DS. He didn't commit a crime, yet Nintendo not only spied on him, they also threatened him in his actual home.
This is nuts.

Key points: Switch revision coming in second half of the year and much of Switch's games lineup for this fiscal year is yet to be announced, including many marquee titles. This leads to a record breaking forecast for Nintendo of 250m games sold this coming FY.

not really. this is more like any one of the hundred or so platforms for trying to teach kids how to program by making simple games.
Nintendo version of Dreams?
Really enjoying Zelda so farIt really grew on me. I started meh, then loved, then hated it and put it down for a year. A year later I finished it and loved it even more.
Been talking to wifey about getting a Switch.I thought you had one already.
May finally be time.
Interested Games:
- Mario Kart 8
- Super Mario 3D All Stars
- New Super Mario Bros U
- Breath of the Wild
- Super Mario Odyssey
- Super Mario 3D World
- Super Smash Bros Ultimate
- Xenoblade Chronicles
- Zelda Skyward Sword
- Paper Mario Origami King?
- Pikmin 3?
- Splatoon 2?
I thought you had one already.Nah. Personally not interested in a Switch. Was always planning on waiting to see a few more games.
The main flaw is that Nintendo games rarely get major discounts ::)
Nah. Personally not interested in a Switch. Was always planning on waiting to see a few more games.when i looked over the wiiU library i always said to myself,.. "nope, barely anything i'd want to play"
Been waiting for exciting new IPs/ a real Mario RPG/etc. Still don't see anything mind blowing.
Looking into getting one now, because it has some good family games.
May finally be time.Overall a bunch of things I like.
Interested Games:Spoiler for Hidden:
Our Switch came in yesterday.Which game are you playing first?
Probably went overkill on getting a 256GB microSD card though. No idea why I thought I needed one quite so large.
Only have Mario Kart so far.
Overall a bunch of things I like.
Nice to be able to use handheld mode when someone else is using the TV. Also looks surprisingly good.
It feels goofy to have so many little controller pieces though.

I wonder too. Maybe the revival of the 2D games put them in a tough spot. Samus Returns was just a small appetizer/apology to fans, yet Metroid Dread was everything Metroid Prime 4 was supposed to be. It's the best selling Metroid game and the franchise is strong again.oh right, kind of forgot about dread when posting this. nintendo's known to shelve projects in search of the "perfect" release date. not saying that's exactly what happened here but i wouldn't be entirely surprised to learn nintendo shelved the game to put space between it and dread. ...probably a switch 2 launch title now.
What the heck can Prime 4 do to justify itself as the "bigger" game? No way will Nintendo shell out on AAA realistic graphics.
Seems to be quite a leak for TotK (https://www.resetera.com/threads/open-spoilers-official-tears-of-the-kingdom-artwork-potentially-leaked-on-reddit-pics-in-threadmarks.688648/), sounds like a much more substantial change.Not sure I trust those people's interpretation of the changes lol. I spoiled myself a bit and it really just looks like what I expected. One mechanic I hadn't really thought about, but at the moment that mechanic just makes the sequel feel more lazy.
That's brilliant!

quasi excited to watch this. most interesting nintendo game (to me) in quite a while.High praise.
High praise.Is it? Feels more like a backhanded compliment to me. One that pretty specifically says the zelda was an uninteresting game.

I'm watching and I like it! Variety and new ideas is good imo
This looks like a mess imo. I hope it does poorly so 3D Mario doesn't do something similar.
Just such a mess of ideas.. Like what's up with those online features.
yeah, finished the video. legends takes feels pretty absurd to me. this game looks great.You like that online design with all the ghosts?
You like that online design with all the ghosts?i dunno. it's "dark soulsy" so it's like there but also not really getting in the way of anything. i guess it could be visually annoying but i assume you can turn it off. i liked the races part. the "stand-ins" or whatever they called it is fine. nintendo clearly went out of their way to help bad players be able to play the game. not something i need but something i appreciate having young kids that suck at gaming.

Not counting demos though and I played quite a bit of them, especially one repeatedly with my daughter (brain academy)
