I was the same.

As a kid I loved them, but in high school Nintendo was way too kiddy for me. I was a MAN GOSH DARNIT!


Then in college I realised how stupid that was so now I'm a Nintendo fan again.

Even have Mario pajamas ;)

You mean like every generation after the first so far? :P

I really like the old Mario-games (1, 2 and 3 en Super Mario World) and play them sometimes, but after the Super-Nintendo I didn't like the games enough to get a Nintendo.
Since the first PlayStation I never (really) cheated on Sony, I barely touched any new Nintendo-, SEGA- or Xbox-console since the birth of PlayStation.

Let's say yes.  :P

I haven't played a lot of the original Donkey Kong Country games, I played DK 64 first.  So between the little bit of experience I have with the former, I have to say I prefer DK 64.  With that said, they are very different games.

Nintendo pretty much got me into gaming - I mean I didnt know SEGA existed until I went to my cousin's house and played Streets of rage and Sonic the Hedgehog for the first time.


Anyways here's my brief history with Nintendo

June 1997 - Purchased N64 - first game was Yoshi's Story
May 1999 - Purchased Gameboy Color with the first game being Pokemon Yellow
May 2001 - Purchased the Gameboy Advance  with the first game being Breath of Fire I
Dec 2001 - Purchased the Nintendo Gamecube with the first game being Super Smash Bros. Melee
May 2007 - Purchased the Nintendo DS with the first game being Pokemon Diamond
May 2008 - Purchased the Nintendo Wii with the first game being Super Smash Bros. Brawl
November 2013 - Purchased the Nintendo 3DS (LOZ Link between worlds Gold/Black 3DS XL bundle) with the first game being The Legend of Zelda A Link Between Worlds


I plan to buy a WiiU this year with 3 games at least


Super Smash Bros WiiU

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.

Title: Re: Nintendo Community Thread
Post by: Xbro on Dec 05, 2014, 10:25 PM
I have confirmed the report was made on the 28th of november. And I have some form of translation courtesy of VGC.

In regards to smash bros 3DS, here's what I could get.
It had a very well turnout, and it says the following. "Sales number was a 3.22 million units worldwide."
That might be overtracked, though it might be that these numbers are from a while ago.

With Tomodachi Life, I believe it says there were 1.27M copies sold in the west, and 3.12 units sold worldwide. Which I think is shipped + Digital. VGchartz has it at 2.94.

I'm not sure why it says 127M and 312M. I think they forgot the period.

"These circumstances, sales volume is 2.09 million units hardware, software became the 2,330 million units." Not sure what this means.

The Wii U section is very confusing. It talks about Mario Kart doing well, but no numbers there. Then it goes onto Hyrule Warriors. Which says this.

"'Zelda Muso' became popular in September, sales volume hardware 1.12 million units, software ware is now 940 million copies."

I think this might be saying that since Hyrule Warriors, Wii U has sold 1.12 Million units, and that maybe Hyrule Warriors is at 940K? I'm not sure how to interpret this.

I did this using Google Translate, so take it as you will.

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.

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.

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.


Their not connected to the TV or the powerstrip/surge protector. I only connect them when I am playing them otherwise they are just unplugged and the wires are on my wall like Christmas lights l0l

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.

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.

Possibly. I noticed that lately nintendo has been doing off screen a lot in situations like this. But even at e3 a lot of the textures looked unfinished.

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 *-*

Friend of mine bought a Wii U Mario Kart bundle last night at Walmart. Got through all the setup, which is kinda lengthy when you include the update, and went to play Smash Bros. Disc read error. Tried everything we could think of. Looked it up online. Tried suggestions. Nothing worked. Popped in Mario Kart. It looked like it would work and then we got the disc read error. The system froze several times. So we took it back within 2 hours and got a different one. Worked just fine. Smash Bros was fun but definitely something you need more than two people for.

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.

SS was OK - could of done without the motion controls.

TP was godlike.

Although the 2D Zeldas are a totally different beast than the 3D Zeldas - I recommend Link to the past or Link's Awakening DX :O.

Ocarina of Time 3D for 3D Zeldas is also great n_n

Yep thats the Wii version for ya.

I bought the GCN version cause I dislike motion controls used in major controls of a game. Swinging a sword is one of the things you will do majority of the game, swinging your hand with a wiimote is dang annoying - its fun at first but when you play it for a few hours , when you have to calibrate it because Nintendo's hardware sucks ****, and when sometimes your motion does not match the sensor bar - its fricken annoying.

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.

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 ~_~.

I dont care if indies come to PS4. Getting content even if they are a indie title is fine because thats bragging rights for saying "Oh we have more games on this system" - which is a selling point for people. Having more games on your system is a good selling point alongside the pricing.

The same for Nintendo, Microsoft and PC.

Yeah at E3 for the longest time I thought it was an indie title lol.

Oh I wasn't even considering handhelds when I said that.


No problem, I've played Phantom Hourglass and really was turned off from the touchscreen* 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).

It's a new system nintendo is trying out. They hired a bunch of up and coming people to work on small projects and create new ideas, while the experienced studios work on the big games. I can't remember what the project is called, I would have to look it up.

I wouldnt doubt it.

There was a rumor though earlier in the year about a remaster that will be coming out on the WiiU next year.

Maybe it is Super Mario Sunshine HD...I HOPE IT IS :O

Honestly I wouldnt be surprised if we see this guy in Splatoon

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.

Found it. Nintendo Garage.

"Splatoon and the three prototypes are the first games to emerge from Garage, a new Nintendo development programme set up last year in which developers break off into small teams and work on new ideas. "There are increasing numbers of young staff at Nintendo's development studios these days," Miyamoto says, "and these young guys really want to express themselves." Work is done during office hours, but he compares Garage to an after-school club, in spirit if not in schedule. "Class time's over: they gather together and think about new projects completely apart from their everyday business assignments. When all of those projects have advanced to a certain stage, we gather together and exchange opinions on the outcome of each of them, and together we decide which ones should continue. We may have shown several software titles at E3 [that came from Garage], but there are many others in development too."

I played both Smash Bros WiiU and MK8 for the first time online with my friends from Arizona :)

The first match we had on Smash was a bit laggy but I guess somethin happened along the way and we've had about 10-15 smooth matches afterwards.

MK8 was flawless with no lag whatsoever.


Both fantastic games and I plan to play them both again this sunday *_*!

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.

Yeah....Journey and Unfinished Swan I wouldnt pay $20 for it....

Not sure about AntiChamber and too early to say about Vizioneck!

I could of bought that one collection with Flower/The Journey and some other game (I forgot the name of the collection) for $10 but I chose not to :(.

Edit: Fl0w or w/e

Besides there's plenty of indies I enjoy on PC such as

Beat Hazard Ultra
Cave Story
Papers Please
Risk of Rain
NightSky
Terraria
Hammerwatch
The Binding of Isaac

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.

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.

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...

Minecraft cost over a billion because Notch wasn't looking to sell. Yeah if Nintendo went to Microsoft and asked them to name a price it'd be way too much for Nintendo to realistically spend. However I'm only thinking of this as Microsoft dumping the division and looking for a bulk buyer. Ninty could get the whole thing dirt cheap.

- 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.

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.

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.

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.

Kirby has always been a simple series. It's been geared more toward kids after Sakurai got off, and Rainbow Curse is like the simplest thing ever.

I would recommend NSLU, but that game is much more difficult.

I know you can turn off the gamepad screen, but when I do that it just leaves me in the gamepad home menu. Only way to exit that menu is with the gamepad, thus turning the screen back on.

That link says you can use another controller to exit it though?

Also I'll try this link: http://www.gamefaqs.com/wii-u/683294-monster-hunter-3-ultimate/answers/348609-how-do-i-turn-off-the-gamepad-when-using-the-pro-controller

"
From the home screen press the sync button on the console.
That brings up the sync menu, press it one more time and it brings up the game pad sync menu.
Then on the gamepad it will show something like "this gamepad is already synced."
At that point hold the game pad's power button and just it should turn off.
Finally hit b on the other controller and the game pad will stay off until you restart the console or press the game pad's power button."

Probably is. It's my sister's old TV, so it came free of charge. It's used for when my nephews/nieces come over. I play on the properly functioning TVs.

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.

If you played the original 2D Marios and played the NEW 2D ones you will easily see the differences in the pace and the design of the levels.

Its hard to explain :P.

Anyways, I just dont like the pace and the level design you could say. By no means am I saying NSMB series is bad - its just a bit more stale compared to other Mario games. After playing the first and second one, it just gets tedious afterwards unlike 3D Mario - where its entirely different in level and design.

Its one of those games where you play it once and dont have the urge to play it again or another game like it - at least for me thats how it is.

2.5 Mario (a.k.a. 3D Land and World) are fantastic though.

First Mario game I watched as a kid - I was like...2 and half or 3 years old? Watched my cousins played - never let me touch their NES - those bastards.

Anyways first Mario game and System I got was Super Nintendo and Super Mario World on my 4th birthday :)!

This was one of my reasons but I only played NSMB DS and NSMB Wii - skipped out on WiiU and 3DS though I plan to get both eventually in the future.

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.

Oh , maybe we didnt interact with each other.

I did get along with some of the Nintendo community on VGChartz but I'm sure a lot of the others despised me due to my posting habits, the games I liked and how I interacted with some of the older members (I didnt kiss dog).

Surprisingly I didnt get banned/warned for some of my comments even if they were Ice cold truth (posts about the community I mean). I think I only got banned once by a person who is a moderator no more for calling someone a fanboy once (and myself too). I got warned for something too - both were back in 2011. I did receive a warning in 2014 which led to my departure - it was the last straw and I'm sure some behind the scenes politics played some part in it too. Anyways, lets not derail the Nintendo thread anymore than it already has been done.....

Speaking of Nintendo games - I completed Super Mario 64 and collected 120 stars.

Those game I mentioned on that post are bottom tier priority ;p

Nothing too worthwhile for WiiU and 3DS.

Not my fault that they cant make anything else as good as Mario, Pokemon, Zelda, Fire Emblem, Star Fox, Donkey Kong, and Kirby :(

There's literally nothing exciting coming out other than the new Fire Emblem that I can think of - oh and Yoshi ;p.

Hopefully we'll get a new Mario, pokemon, kirby, etc at E3 time :P.

Title: Re: Nintendo Community Thread
Post by: BasilZero on Mar 28, 2015, 06:24 PM
Finished Pokemon Omega Ruby.

I have to say, I loved gen 3 but now I love it even more!

The remake was amazing!

I love the new expanded storyline and the DELTA EPISODE was awesome :O.

Shorter than X/Y but better in terms of storyline and the overall region imo.

I feel they kinda spoiled people with all the gift pokemon but its OK - I love my Shiny Metagross :3.

I love the emphasis on the bases again - that was my favorite new feature from the original game and they made it even better with more options!

I give the remake a 96 out of 100 - way better than the original which was already a fantastic game.

Comparison sake....

Pokemon Ruby (GBA): 93
Pokemon Emerald (GBA): 94
Pokemon White (NDS): 98
Pokemon White 2 (NDS): 93
Pokemon X (3DS): 94
Pokemon Omega Ruby (3DS): 96

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.

Title: Re: Nintendo Community Thread
Post by: Xbro on Apr 01, 2015, 11:40 PM

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.

Let's see where I was right.

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.

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.

It was pretty obvious that this was a trailer aimed at a certain audience, rather than the broad audience. Chances are we weren't meant to see that, but NoA wanted to make sure we knew it was coming west.

For now, yes I did like the trailer, but I feel that we haven't seen anything yet.

Yeah they're very different.  Persona appeals to my tastes.  Like, the school setting, the dating sim aspect, the super awesome music and style.  SMT vs FE is just too generic oppai anime style.  Probably going to be a super awesome game and I'm probably gonna get it.  But Persona 5 just appeals to me more.[AF]

I manage to snag him for normal price, which is great because all the dog hat scalpers are trying to flip him for 20-30. Not going to pay that for an amiibo. Maybe i can do that with the other rares.

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?

Point taken. I believe Square was publishing DQ IX though. With PL vs. AA, Capcom probably had a hand in announcing that one early, and Layton and the Miracle Mask was because I'm fairly certain that people were burnt out on Layton by that point. Considering they had annual releases(bi-annual once) since the series' inception.

But that's just nitpicking. My point is, that it is rare.

Treyarch's games made it to the Wii and DS.  So if there is a chance its with them. 
Think its pretty high despite what it may seem.  They are usually a more diverse launching than the other games.  Plus Treyard is a bigger studio than the others.

Might get a game before I get back. 

Set up on the game pad was really cool.  The TV control feature while not the greatest feature ever, is just brilliantly simple to set up.  Usually stuff like that requires some obscure look up code.  But the Wii U handles that.

Title: Re: Nintendo Community Thread
Post by: Xbro on Apr 23, 2015, 03:07 AM
Here's some details from the Dengeki Xenoblade X review.

Quote
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!

Amiibo Bowser grabbed the projectile Bowser Jr. launched at him, threw it in the air, and took Baby Bowser up there to receive it. Just as he was it by the projectile, he canceled the move with a back-air.

Mario Kart 8
Visually, awesome, very rich.  Tracks I think are boring though.  Its hard to explain. 
Gameplay wise, it still doesn't feel as good as Mario Kart Wii.  Perhaps, because I haven't found the perfect bike yet.
Multiplayer feels odd, because it prioritizes the Y axis over the X axis. Which makes turning a little odd at times.  But overall its okay.
200cc just feels too fast.  I'm having troubles turning.

------------------
Wii U is still great.
Playing Mario Kart gives me some wants for the future Nintendo system.
Make it more powerful with multiple controller support.
Have it so that each gamepad can have it's own display.   
------------------------
Donkey Kong 64
Loving the game! 
But I do have the complaint that the camera isn't great.

I played the new set of DLC for MK8 that came out recently.

Its ok - although I feel the the first pack was better than the 2nd pack.

Animal Crossing maps were OK - the avatar/village or w/e character was meh - Isabelle is OK along with Dry bowser.

Baby park was cool but lol.

Big Blue was OK but Mute city imo is the better one between the two.

Overall out of the DLC - everything Zelda related was awesome :)!

"While we will announce the details of this integrated membership service at a later date, I can share with you at a high level the idea is that the consumer can access multiple devices using one common ID. For us to be able to bridge the gap between smart devices and dedicated game systems, we will offer advantages to consumers who use one ID across multiple devices.
So far, the members input their Club Nintendo ID to use the services. 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.
With this new membership, we are planning to deploy services that will make playing Nintendo games with their game pals more fun regardless of which platform they are accessing."

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.

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.

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.

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.  Bayonetta's a step in the right direction, but they need more.

Speaking of which, there was a new Fire Emblem trailer.



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.

Jim was planning to do a Jimquisition on the Unity engine, but instead uploaded a Jimquisition about Splatoon and Amiibo. I agree with much of Jim's points, especially the part where Nintendo apologized earlier this year, but hasn't done much to rectify the shortage problem.

IGN is going to be premiering the gameplay reveal of an unannounced Platinum game during our E3 2015 live show.

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#").

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

Pro controller is not supported in every game :(

Outside of Splatoon and MK8 - I recommend Smash bros, DK Tropical Freeze, Bayonetta 2, Zelda Wind Waker HD, and NSMBU+NSLU.

As for Wii games - get Super Mario Galaxy 1 and Metroid prime off of Eshop. You can play Skyward Sword - its OK with motion controls - I clocked around 80 hours on it lol. If you like DBZ - try to find a copy of DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3 for the Wii , that is pretty good too. Same with Super Mario Galaxy 2 - if you have a copy of that.

I don't think it's possible for the franchise to recover after this though

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.

 Splatoon Datamined: Future Weapons, Maps, and Mode information leaked - NeoGAF (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1068073)

Quote
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)
 Here is the skyscraper stage in full:(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CIBa632UsAArHQ3.png)(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CIBa7BcUYAAGrDG.png)
 There are 33 unreleased weapons currently on the disc in some form. Some of which have complete descriptors (and may or may not be actually complete) and others which have incomplete descriptors (and may or may not be actually complete).Here is the full list of them (http://pastebin.com/sgFewxFK):
  • Sploosh-o-matic - Squid Beakons & Killer Wail
  • Neo Sploosh-o-matic - Point Sensor & Kraken
  • Neo Splash-o-matic - Burst Bombs & Inkzooka

Images of the New Weapons (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/doaufjg7ulr1pop/AADAPvv7bDEZIR7DOoB6xmNJa?dl=0)
 There are also Ranked mode game type selection images:Splat Zones(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CICGgE8VAAAZcAl.png)Tower Control(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CICGgGQUsAAVltp.png)Rainmaker(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CICGgGPUYAU_Udq.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
 like—a 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 hesitate—you
 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.

I'm worried about Nintendo.  

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.

 Devil's Third disappears from "Future Releases" section on North American Wii U eShop - NeoGAF (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1071029)

Quote
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.

 Rumor: Diddy Kong Racing 2 Is Apparently Being Developed For The NX? - NeoGAF (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1072157)

"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"

150 dollars is a no go. Too cheap to offer anything great. Launching the nx now will be suicide.  They need to cut the game pad, and sell the wii u with a pro contoller for 150. And make some dang games for the wii u . They'll have to pick up where 3rd Party dropped the ball.

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."

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.

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).

 "Large scale revision of the organizational structure of Nintendo" - 9/16/15 - NeoGAF (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1111862)

Quote
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, 2013-2015
  • 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.)
President Kimishima, Restructure, Phase 2, 2015President Iwata, Restructure, Phase 1 2013-2015
  • 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)
  • More information to come

If your Nintendo Wii is still plugged in and chuggin' along--or even if you just need to bust it out of the closet and dust it off--you can now experience Crunchyroll on it. The free app is now available to download worldwide as supported by the Nintendo eShop, so free members can check it out for a sample and Premium members can hop on in for the full Crunchyroll experience. You can get an idea of how the app looks after gawking at the Nintendo Power-style nostalgia bomb below.

Got an opportunity to play Super Mario Maker.  

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.

Depending on the person, the reason changes.

Some people
-are lazy
-hate things that are popular.
-don't find any game to really make motion controls worth it.  
-find motion controls to be poorly executed.  

Also many of the people that enjoyed motion controls are the exact same people that typically don't play video games, and thus are far less likely to buy a successor to the Wii.  
This is, in my opinion one of the biggest reasons the Wii U hasn't seen great success like the Wii did.

If Nintendo really is going for another controller with a touch screen on it as the focal feature then they probably didn't learn any lessons from Wii U. Also, this continues to point to a hybrid console. The only way Nintendo can make a console on the level or greater in power to PS4 or X1 AND have a touchscreen controller that doubles as an independent handheld that isn't priced too high is to take big financial losses out of the gate. Something that, if I remember correctly, the company avoids like the plague.

Forbes Welcome (http://www.forbes.com/sites/davidewalt/2012/11/12/nintendo-wii-u-will-sell-out-sell-faster-than-wii/)

Quote
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.

Yeah Bayonetta was hard to find.

I almost had to buy a opened box at Gamestop (under the guise of a "New" copy).

Was lucky to find a new copy at my local best buy (well one that I dont usually go to , this one was a bit further than the closer ones to my home :P).

Got it price matched for $35 thanks to Gamestop selling it at that price l0l.

lol @DerNebel,.. but i agree.

that seems like an expensive screen to create that will have my hands cover up a good portion of it.  soo pointless.   and the complete lack of buttons makes it more smartphone like than console like which is exactly the thing i hate.   i despise the lack of positive feedback when clicking a virtual button on my iphone and it is hard to hit the right one when you but several button next to each other.

on the flip side,.. if the analogs have feedback in them i like that.  that is a bit like the vibrating triggers on xbox but still a good idea in general.   maybe not all that innovative but i like the idea of having to fight the analog a bit in some gameplay scenarios.

Fake.

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.

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.

How do we know Nintendo didn't make a specific cable for this prototype?  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 could have made a specific cable, but there's zero reason to stylize a dev kit only cable. Look at 3DS dev kit cables and the debugger.

(http://3dbrew.org/w/images/2/24/3ds-development-hardware-1-extimgnwm.jpg)

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.

Oh!  I wanted a blue Vita and there is an Eb Games on the way to my comic store.  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.

May 2015: Iwata updates position on region-locking at Nintendo investor Q&A (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1043764)
Quote
Q7: 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)
Quote
Q4: 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.

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.

 
This 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?

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.

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.

Probably.  
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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Exactly.  Maybe they were planning changeable buttons via touch screen but that obviously doesn't work.  So maybe they're switching to that.

If the add ons are optional then that'd work since they can charge extra for them.

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.

Yoshi's Woolly World and Super Mario Maker announced for 3DS. Nintendo hard at work to make even the last few people accept that the Wii U is the worst piece of hardware they've ever put out (except the Virtual Boy)

Also that Pikmin game that people were expecting for NX seems to be a sidescroller for 3DS.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

A strong Nintendo system won't sell because it's strong, but it can still profit off the move in the long term. They just need to build back consumer interest and third party support first.

 Digital Foundry: Nintendo Switch CPU and GPU clock speeds revealed - NeoGAF (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1326373)

Quote
Quote
Clock-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.
 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.

i said this-ish on vgc and i mean it:

i saw this at E3


and then watched this on switch

i don't know if the entire game got nerfed or if it is just the switch version but that demo on the tonight show is noticablly worse.



i simply don't trust any "switch" footage that looks good.  we've already had nintendo lie to us about oblivion on switch and now this is an obvious lie too.  nintendo isn't telling anyone anything about switch until the last possible moment and to me it is clearly because they want to spread FUD marketing that makes switch look much better than it is.

switch is a handheld.  it might even be a good handheld if it was marketed as such.  because nintendo is marketing it as a console this is pure shame.

No no, two different games.

Rabbids/Mario RPG possibly pushed back to September and Beyond Good and Evil 2 (which has no release date rumours as far as I know) coming to PS4, X1 and PC after 12 months of timed exclusivity.

Also funny that you're mentioning this cause Rayman Legends is apparently also getting a Switch port.

http://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2017/1/16/14285146/nintendo-switch-joy-con-grip-charging-not-bundled


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

GRAPEVINE, Texas, Jan. 15, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GameStop, a family of specialty retail brands that makes the most popular technologies affordable and simple, has reserved all of its first allotment of Nintendo Switch systems.
 On Friday, the retailer began taking reservations for the Nintendo Switch online and in its more than 3,900 stores nationwide.
 “The fact that this initial allotment has been completely reserved in a matter of a few days demonstrates gamers desire for this fun and revolutionary gaming system,” said Bob Puzon, senior vice president of merchandising at GameStop. “We’re working closely with Nintendo to get additional Nintendo Switch units, and will let our customers know when they become available.

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.

Launch sales are not indicative of long-term success.

Galaxy is a wide linear from what I played before rage quitting. (stupid waggle)

64 was a full open world where exploration was the driving factor. Each level was a minimap with its own goals and mysteries. You'd go back to levels many times to collect all their stars. I hardly remember Sunshine, but I remember large open multipurpose areas in it too.

what legends said but to say it again anyways.

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.

It's been a while since I played either game.  
But Galaxy was a 9/10 game for me.  But I didn't really get 64.  It seemed good, but Galaxy was way better in my opinion.

They are optional in a few games.  
Mario Kart, you can play with a regular controller or play with nunchucks and use waggle to do tricks.  Personally my favorite way to play Mario Kart by far.

I wonder if Nintendo fans are going to shun this game like they did Mass Effect 3.  Though I wonder what is up with the pricing.  Ultra Street Fighter 2 is 40 dollars to an updated 10 dollar PS3 game.

So I actually started my playthrough for Zelda Breath of the Wild.

I have to say, this is truly the Prepare To Die Edition of Zelda for me - I died more times in this game than all the other Zelda games combined.


And nah, its not because its hard or anything, just amazed at how many simple times I died (falling off the tower cause I ran out of stamina while climbing), running out stamina while swimming - ending up drowning, getting killed by a high level enemy (with better equipment than standard enemies) and getting one shotted by a laser.....I shouldnt have tried guarding it with a wooden shield.....

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.

Switch won't get any current console ports until it shows hard proof of being a sales beast. Wii managed to get fully custom versions of games so Switch might eventually get downports.

I'm thinking i might in the next 3-4 months play through all my xbox games I have and then trade it all in for a switch sometime. Cause I want to at some point over the next year or so build a better gaming PC and I'll just get all the MS games on that. I know for sure I'll play zelda, splatoon, mario kart 8, and the new 3d mario(can't remember the name).   If I can get a switch for literally nothing I would feel better if I traded it in later on if nothing else comes out I want.

I'm pretty bored with zelda. 60 hours in and I feel like I've experienced everything the game has to offer yet I'm still about only one third of the way through it.

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:
I fully finished it and created the town. Nothing cool unlocked. At the very least I should have had the option of getting a second house there.


I'm setting the game down for a while instead of trying to burn through this.

Neon wasn't in stock.  I'm hoping maybe they will put the one up next or soon.  I'm ordering one if it does.  I'm just too much of a sucker for new consoles.

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.

Of course right when I decide to just order it they are gone!  :'(

I've even debated ordering the mario kart bundle on gamestop since it comes with the game plus zelda, plus zelda expansion, plus 128 sd card.  I'm wanting to get both those games anyway.

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 guess cause they never bought a Wii U to know how fast Nintendo will abandon them

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. 

The switch actually feels like the next evolution of the wii while keeping motion gaming, but adding in console type mobile gaming as well as full console gaming.  It just seems to work, imo.  I was skeptical at first, but after the positive feedback and using it, I can only hope it keeps selling out so nintendo won't abandon it for a while.   Plus I'm excited for a lot of games on it that are coming.

Will be getting it either in Holiday 2018 or Holiday 2019

I'm interested in the games, dont like the joycons and I think the pro controller is overpriced.  Way better than the WiiU gamepad though which I barely even use.

Yes I got a WiiU and I barely use the gamepad, I mainly do everything with my Pro Controller.

The main reason why I buy any game system or platform, the games.

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.

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.

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.

I think having stamina slowly recharge while you're still in the water would work.

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.

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.

Just beat The Legend of Zelda A Link Between Worlds for the 3DS.

94 out of 100

+Uses nostalgia from A Link To The Past, great for fans of ALTTP
+Unique painting ability and item rental gameplay aspect first time in the series
-Very short
-Very easy

Score wise comparison to the rest of the series....

The Legend of Zelda A Link To The Past (SNES): 91
The Legend of Zelda A Link To The Past (GBA): 92
The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D (3DS): 100
 The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword (Wii): 96
 The Legend of Zelda A Link Between Worlds (3DS): 94


Nice fact - if I finish Breath of the Wild next, it will be my #100 Nintendo published game I have beaten.

It's not the only reason.

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.

The puzzles are okay for me.

So far what I enjoy is the story (ironically since its been light for majority of zeldas), the overall world, the gameplay mechanics on how you interact with the world and all, and the music.

For me its gonna be 95+ I can tell.

The only reason why its not perfect for me is because of the frame rate and the requirement of the WiiU gamepad for some puzzles which pissed me off.

Bear in mind, I have my WiiU gamepad on the charging cradle and have been playing the game 99% of the time with my WiiU pro controller. (Cant stand the horrible gamepad).

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.

So I've been dicking around in Zelda a little more recently and stumbled upon my first motion contol shrine. Dang that thing was borderline broken in handheld mode. I had to deattach the right joycon and use that on its own to finish the final puzzle.

You mean the Tarrey town quest alongside the house building quest?

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.

Do it like MGSV!

Put less emphasis on finding hidden secrets and treat zones like individual levels.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It was the last sonic game I played from my 2013 Sonic Marathon where I played the following sonic games in a row....


Sonic the hedgehog 1
Sonic the hedgehog 2
Sonic the hedgeho 3 & Knuckles
Sonic the hedgehog 4 Episode 1
Sonic the hedgehog 4 Episode 2
Sonic CD
Sonic 3D Blast
Sonic Spinball
Sonic Adventure DX
Sonic Adventure 2 Battle
Sonic Generations

Bought them part of the 2013 Sonic Mega Pack which had all the games together in a bundle on Amazon for $3.50 total.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Post by: Legend on Nov 17, 2017, 09:32 PM
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.

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
Buy a refurbished switch  ::)

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.

Lol well yeah it depends on money but man is Mario Odyssey fudgy amaaaaazing. 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 play

I'm very impressed.

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.
7/10 for me

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".

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. -.-

The digital average for Skyrim is unknown. John Harker has no information on digital sales for Nintendo titles because NPD doesn't receive them. It could be 40% or even be 1% for all we know.
I'm leaning towards around 20% to put it around 150k for November.
Also An Update on XC2 Sales:
130k Retail Japan(3 weeks counted)
~20k UK Retail(3 Weeks counted)
15k Spain retail(1 week counted
165k retail without digital. With the rest of the World and digital the game should be passed half a million(since these are series best debuts that we know so far).

My predictions:
75k< End of year in France
250k+ December debut
10k more in the UK for rest of the year
30k more for JP rest of year
60k Germany
My predictions with the known numbers will put it at a little over 500k without digital...by the end of the year. If we look attthe possibility of legs due to a lack of JRPGS and the season pass then 1 Million hopefully will come. My Million Switch sellers predictions have been true so far I don't want to lose that streak!

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.

I played a switch for the first time today. Was a target demo so everything was pretty loose, but I was surprised by how mobile it feels. The analogue sticks are almost identical to Vita sticks and even in the charging dock thing the controller is very small and poor feeling. Not bad as a mobile device but pretty poor as a home console.


Also the joycons separately are bad even for mobile. Way too small and awkward for my tastes.

Agreed but playing shooters like Uncharted on vita was horrible because it was still quite hard to be precise. Switch is only slightly better.

The way they get around it is motion controls for more precise aiming, which once you get used to it works really well.

Yup. To be fair I didn't play many shooters on Vita. But uncharted worked well with motion control added indeed

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.

The 8 characters all with their own story that you can play sounds great too.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Weapon durability?
Story?
Side Quests?
Open world activities and rewards for said activities?

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

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.

I 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.

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.

Saying there's only one thing I don't like doesn't mean I don't have a long list of things I would like to see improved.

I don't think so, I think it was an intentional design from the start. The weapons are all good in different scenarios, the game just doesn't point it out to you and you have to work it out yourself. If you don't want to try the different weapons then its your own fault. Well sure, you avoid some combat scenarios if you don't think the reward will be good enough but I like that about the game. Instead of just going gung-ho and killing everything around in the world you actually need to be smart about what encounters you get into and which ones you try and sneak around instead.

Sure, the side quests in BOTW is one of the main areas I would want to see improved. I'm quite happy to have filler side quests if there are some really good ones thrown in their too, but BOTW could have had more proper fleshed out side quests. Then again, I've never been one to like side quests so much since I'm not a fan of how they distract you from the main objective, and in this regard the way BOTW deals with and treats side quests is perfect for me. I am constantly finding as many Koroks as I can so I can have lots of everything stocked. More shields means I can shield surf more, more bows mean I can have more of each type (3x shot, sniper etc.) and the more melee weapons I can hold means the more of each type I can have.

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.

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.

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?

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.
There is zero chance of a Switch 2 next year.

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.

Why couldn't they have just left trophies in and not added more grinding?  :'(

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.

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.

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".

The same goes for the character unlocks btw. fail a fight and you have to wait another several minutes until that character challenges you again.

I just don't find the spirit system engaging at all, most of them are pointless anyway and only exist to be collected so they can probably later on be turned into the couple spirits that are actually worthwile. All I see is tons of bloat in place of what could instead have been at least something resembling a story, cause as of now, I have seen nothing like that.

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:

Super Mario Odyssey - full exclusive and absolutely brilliant
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom battle - full exclusive and a good fun xcom style game
Breath of the Wild - on WiiU but its the best game evaaaa
MK8D - enhanced version of WiiU game, its got some good new features like double items and of course its brilliant fun
Golf Story - wonderful indie full Switch exclusive, recommend this to everyone
Mario Tennis Aces - full exclusive but a bit meh
Octopath Traveller - full exclusive and a brilliant game for people who have the patience but its too tedious for me
Smash Bros Ultimate - full exclusive and awesome game, its got loads of new features and its as different as a smash game can be from past games
Pokemon Let's Go - full exclusive decent pokemon game, if you like pokemon you'll like this

Obviously I didn't have a WiiU so all of these are new for me and have made the Switch super worth it already. And of course I'm missing quite a few games. I reckon with Animal Crossing next year you'll have every reason to own a Switch you'll ever really get.

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.

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.

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.

Man Switch really is getting a lot of attention right now. My brother said that he's going to get one, with his main reason being to be able to play fifa on the go. He said he'll also get Mario Kart.

Pretty sure he's only had the Wii from Nintendo before. He had a PSP and a Vita mainly for fifa on the go as well, so seems like Switch is tapping into that kind of crowd.

   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...     Simba1 said: (http://vizioneck.com/goto/post?id=17440494)    "The company said that 'couldn't comment' on their plans for the product, but has informed multiple suppliers and game development companies that they intend to release them as early as 2019. 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."

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.

A handheld only version kind of defeats the entire purpose of the Switch. And surely they have to keep detachable joycons? Would they just make a Switch that's smaller and cheaper?

If I were to guess I'd say they make a smaller model which can still be docked, but the docks are sold separately for those who want it. It would be better if they ensured joyocons were the same size as well.

Alternatively they could release two Switch lites at the same time. One which is handheld only and one which is TV only. That would be interesting.

Post by: Legend on Feb 02, 2019, 03:40 PM
A smaller switch seems really hard to design. Joycons force it to be a certain height and the screen forces it to then have the same width. Only thing they could do is put black bars above and below the screen so the width could be decreased but then it wouldn't fit in a dock.

It basically either just needs to be a normal switch with the dock sold separately, or a 2DS equivalent that lacks features. I don't see how they could make a version without detachable joycons though since lots of first party software requires them. Super Mario Party for example can only be played with separate joycons.

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.

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.

Nintendo Direct Speculation |OT| Blue Ball Z (Read OP) | ResetEra (https://www.resetera.com/threads/nintendo-direct-speculation-ot-blue-ball-z-read-op.98257/)

Quote
UPDATES ON THE SUSPECTED (decently probable) DIRECT DATE AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS OP Feb. 8th

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.

  (https://i.imgur.com/0TCC0pp.png)
Feb 14th is the earliest possible date, unless they decide to throw one out on another day that would be mostly unprecedented.

 RED ALERT RED ALERT

 king zell dropped in with this bit of information this morning (Feb. 8th) so here we are!

  king zell said: (http://vizioneck.com/goto/post?id=17704098)    13 is your lucky number..... and am out  Click to expand...  And I step away from what felt like another quiet morning...

  king zell said: (http://vizioneck.com/goto/post?id=17704684)    There are a bunch of announcements coming this year but am not sure when.
  Spoiler: 2019 Games    Including Pikmin 3, Maker 2, Boxboy, and of course the 2D Zelda and Pokemon.

 MPT probably will be at the Direct.     Click to expand...

This thread is moving at 1000mph because there might be a direct announcement in a few mins. Nintendo fans are whack ;D
Title: Re: Nintendo Community Thread
Post by: Xevross on Feb 12, 2019, 01:59 PM
And there it is, direct in 32 hours (5PM EST).

35 mins direct on Switch games only, specifies Fire Emblem details.

Edit: worth noting that last time they said "including new details on"... in their direct announcement, it was Mario Tennis Aces last March and they spent about 6 minutes out of 35 on it, and there were still plenty of new announcements including Smash. So assume about the same for Fire Emblem and this direct.

Man idk, I've never known Sunday to be called the start of the week before.

here we go, quick google:


Quote
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.
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.
So its another thing Americans do wrong, and apparently Iceland is confused and thinks they're American... :P

I've never in my life seen a calendar which puts Sunday as the start of the week, and I doubt you'll find anyone in the UK and most of Europe who considers Sunday the first day of the week.

Edit: and definitions aside, we all live with starting new weeks on mondays. We go back to work/ school at the start of a new week.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

Comment on youtube summed it up. "I honestly can't tell if these two are supposed to be this enthusiastic or they're just mocking cheesy ads."

They're making cool quirky stuff again which is great imo. People who don't like this can simply just ignore it.

Yeah the two people are hilarious, I hope it was on purpose but something tells me its not.

Nintendo doesn't have an icon in the same vein as the PS Logo or the Xbox logo, so originally I used the background theme to spice up the thread. But now we have a Nintendo icon so yeah I'll switch to that too.

So some people consider this one of the best games ever huh? I gotta say that scouring the map to find the exact spot the game wants you to go to with basically no hints over and over isn't exactly riveting. I guess this is just the way games were made back then, but dang this kinda sucks.

Already googled where to find something at least 4 times, I can't be arsed wasting my time with all this shame. Good game apart from that though. Done 4 of the dungeon things so far and I'm enjoying my time with it but it really doesn't feel worth $60.

Guess I'll see how the rest of the game goes.

Yeah this game is basically the definiton of a remake and I had never seen anyone even try and question that.

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.

I fully agree.

Games are a completely different industry than movies and remakes work so well here. Instead of them coming from a lack of ideas, they come from more technical/nostalgic reasons.

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.

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.

All the gen 8 pokemon are leaking and its better than my wildest dreams. So many new pokemon and so many look awesome. Super hyped!

Spoiler for Number of pokemon:
<br>Seems like 400 pokemon are in regular dex (confirmed), then total in the extended dex that you unlock after beating the game is 632 (unconfirmed). So 632 pokemon made the cut, and around 300 missed out. Seems like around 100 or maybe even more totally new pokemon too.

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.

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.

I was the Pokemon player who played XD to get Lugia and Colosseum to get Ho-oh on his main Pokemon Sapphire game. 

And the one who made a special trip to get the bonus disk for Colosseum to get Jirachi. 

(And bought an action replay for the sole purpose of getting Mew, since it was made impossible to get it legitimately after the events expired). 

I definitely wasn't the average Pokemon player growing up, and I know most people aren't really going to be affected by this, but I am.  ::P

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.

Post by: Xevross on Nov 11, 2019, 09:34 PM
Been keeping up with the pokemon leaks and dang there's been some utterly baffling decisions made with the new game. So many choices which just seem straight up regressive. Also the story is apparently on the short side and there's basically no endgame, and there's some weird jank being shown in videos as well.

Seems like they needed way more time with this, but due to pressure from TPC and others they were forced into releasing it this year, which may have contributed to the decision of the cut pokemon.

Anyway, reviews are apparently out tomorrow so will be interesting to see what reviewers think of the game, I expect that all this stuff won't affect reviews too much, considering the worst mainline games (X/Y) have the best metascore (88). I think it will still be a good pokemon game, and will get mid 80s like all the rest. I'm certainly picking this up at some point but I have absolutely 0 hype for it at this point.
Title: Re: Nintendo Community Thread

No GTS in pokemon sword and shield. Holy mother of god it got worse.

Its clear Game Freak aren't good enough for such rapid releases of this series any more. They either need more time, way more people or a second studio needs to be brought in to make the game. So many features cut, and the game still looks rather unpolished and lacking content. I've been so hyped for this game (core pokemon on a home console) for over a decade, and this is how its turning out... its really sad. And I'm not even a core fan, I'll still have a good enough time playing through the game and then forgetting about it, but core fans who were going to invest so much time in it are also so annoyed, disappointed, upset.

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.

Finally got round to starting pokemon. The level of polish and the graphics feel vastly superior to what we've seen in pokemon before. There's nice touches like quick buttons in battles to throw a pokeball, or check stat changes. Good that there is a lot of improvements that might make the cuts worth it.

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.

Post by: Xevross on Nov 17, 2019, 01:42 AM

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.

They did kind of account for this, there seems to be much fewer trainers to battle in this game. So if you ignored the wild area and just went through routes fighting only trainers, like in the past games, you will be under-levelled. But you can "grind" the wild area raids and get yourself overlevelled way easier than any other pokemon game.

Overall I think they got this spot on. If you want a harder game then leave the wild area until after you've finished the story, and that makes sense anyway since the wild area is more about grinding the best moves for competitive play, completing the dex, endgame online battles etc.

(of course, its still easier than anything gen V or earlier, unless you try to do the absolute minimum possible battles)

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.

I like how it did things differently, and i love the mixup with the league, but holy hell is the actual story bad.

6M in first 3 days for pokemon sword/shield makes it the biggest Switch launch (beating Smash by 1 million) and most likely the biggest pokemon launch ever worldwide (Sun/Moon was at 7.2M after almost 2 full weeks on the market). Pretty insane.

 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

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.

A dock with local hardware could do that. Either do something fancy where the game uses the combined power of both when docked, or have it just swap to an external gpu.

Does the current switch have the ports to support that?

Also a few upgrades internally could help keep the rest of the switch from being a bottleneck.

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:

Breath of the Wild
Link's Awakening
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Super Smash Bros
Super Mario Odyssey
Pokemon Sword
Pokemon Lets Go Pikachu
Luigi's Mansion 3
Mario + Rabbids
Animal Crossing NH
Gris
Golf Story
Cat Quest 1+2
Diablo 3
Octopath Traveller
Mario Tennis Aces
Ring Fit Adventure
Ys 8
Grid Autosport
Wargroove
Astral Chain
Celeste

So yeah my Switch library is actually already 2x larger than the average owner will have in the Switch's lifetime, with most being exclusive (bolded). This is already easily the best Nintendo library I've ever got.

SW-6633-6036-8029 is my friend code!

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.

Thanks. Will add you.

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

my 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.

mario kart wii against NPCs was also kind of terrible which I only did to unlock things.   but thankfully mario kart wii's online was pretty good and thats where I got lots of time in.


so, in my opinion, if you aren't going to pay for online access don't bother with either game.

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.

And yeah, the more time goes on the more the franchise just gets out of date. Graphics are improving but not at the same rate as the industry on a whole, so the games look more and more outdated. The combat system is so simplistic and has never improved. The super effective system makes combat straight forward and incredibly easy. Add on to all this the issues with dex cuts, online trading being gutted and others things, you get the worst pokemon game by quite a way.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is well worth it even without online imo, its good fun and has a lot of content. Getting the maximum trophy on all the grands prix takes a while and is a genuine challenge on 200cc. Plus the core gameplay is just fantastic and I still open the game to play some races every now and then, its just very good fun. Smash also has a fair bit of single player content with its campaign thingy. Both are probably about 30 hours before you finish the main stuff and get to just doing repeated matches over and over. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is probably much more recommended though, I'd say only get Smash if you know you're really into it.

All this excitement has led to errors, 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.


 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...  
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.

 And they clearly need to mark this better and/or have a warning before purchasing.

Nintendo Switch has 20 games above a 90 MC.  
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?"

Nintendo is not your friend, and this is one of the most frightening examples of this.

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.

3D world is definitely a step below the other 3D mario games I've played (Galaxy 1&2 and Odyssey). Those three games are all easy 10/10. This is like an 8/10, still great but nothing special about it. Feels very much like 2D mario in that way I guess.

Yep.

Indeed I think that's a good way to put it. Every level is unique, there's so much variety, but there's a fair bit wrong with it and it just feels very standard platformer overall. Biggest problem is that its extremely floaty, which I've never thought about 3D Mario before. I think the increased move speed for the new version contributes to that.

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.
Interesting. Thinking about selling my Swith Lite, which I've barely used after the initial weeks, and perhaps buying back in with the new system

mayhaps i shouldn't believe rumors,.. but this rumor is why i won't buy a switch now.  i want to see the revised hardware before deciding to buy.  if the new hardware is 4k capable (even if it is just DLSS 2.0) that i will prefer that hardware.   switch games just look so very very very bad.   dear god the aliasing..

Yeah the new system if it is a proper Pro or New console then I'm all in for it. Switch games look like shame on my new 4K TV compared to even PS4 games.

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.   

this is a saturated market but then again this is nintendo so it will probably be successful despite the hundreds of already competing products.

So I just bought another Nintendo Switch lol. This one being the normal (2019) version. I already had the Lite. Thinking I'll sell the Lite before the holidays. I always wanted the proper switch tbh. Much more fun on the TV and the controllers are good fun + 2 player possibility. My 4 yo daughter likes playing the hat in Mario Ofyssey lmao

I thought you had one already.

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.

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.

when i looked over the wiiU library i always said to myself,.. "nope, barely anything i'd want to play"

now that nearly all of the wiiU library (at least the good stuff) has been ported to switch i'm at a point of "yeah, this is like almost enough to be excited about".   still, i hate how shaming the hardware is and frankly i had to wait until almost the end of the switch life-cycle to care.

i think if switch 2 is fully BC i'll finally be ready to get one.   i don't expect nintendo to come anywhere close to the ps5 but maybe it at least approaches the ps4 and doesn't looks like a complete jaggy mess on a tv.   ...and with 3 generations of software releases to pick from i can probably find at least 10-15 games that are worth playing which is maybe enough to justify some hardware.

Our Switch came in yesterday.
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.
May finally be time.

Interested Games:
Spoiler for Hidden:

  • Mario Kart 8
  • Super Mario 3D All Stars
  • New Super Mario Bros U
  • Breath of the Wild

  • Super Mario 3D World
  • Super Smash Bros Ultimate
  • Xenoblade Chronicles
  • Zelda Skyward Sword
  • Paper Mario Origami King?
  • Pikmin 3?
  • Splatoon 2?

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.

New mario movie trailer. Is Jack Black the only person that tried to sound like their character? Peach sounds fine but she does not sound like Peach.
Title: Re: Nintendo Community Thread
Post by: the-pi-guy on Nov 29, 2022, 10:42 PM



And again, Visually it looks amazing. Story seems fine.

I feel better about the voices, but that's not saying much. Mario sounds less like Chris Pratt to me, in this video than the first trailer. Peach doesn't sound like Peach, but she's fine. Probably helps that I don't recognize the voice actor.

But of course, Jack Black is the best. Manages to pull off intimidating Bowser in a whimsy Mario movie.

it's been almost 6 years since metroid prime 4 was announced.   ...4 years since it was "rebooted".  
9 years since retro released a game.

i wonder what happened?!?  anyone think that metroid and retro found themselves being managed by microsoft??

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.

What the heck can Prime 4 do to justify itself as the "bigger" game? No way will Nintendo shell out on AAA realistic graphics.

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.

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.

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.

I loved digimon as a kid because they were all funky and cool, but I also liked that pokemon actually felt like animals. A shame they moved on from that. (they moved on many many years ago)
