Switch online requires Phone App? Why is no one talking about this?

in Gaming Discussion on 18 January 2017

We also think it’s a very elegant solution because if you’ve taken your switch on the go, you’ve put yourself in a hotspot, you’re looking at get a quick match of Mario Kart in, to whip out some sort of bulky, gamer headset is a bit of a challenge. How does this even make sense in his head? Since headsets are apparently too bulky and challenging, how...

UK Charts - week ending 19th Dec 2015 (Christmas #1 = CoD)

in Latest Charts on 21 December 2015

I wonder if this is the first time that no handheld games have charted in the pre-Christmas week. It seems to be the case going back to 2007 which is the earliest year for which they have archives for individual charts. The week ending Dec. 22, 2007 had 11 handheld games, including #1 & 2....

VGC Has been updated the past 5 out of 6 days!

in Latest Charts on 01 September 2015

It is kind of tough to care when some of the numbers are blatantly wrong. The 3DS for example seems to have been adjusted up slightly. That is despite VGC already showing more units sold to consumers on June 27th than Nintendo had shipped to stores by June 30th. Granted these issues with the 3DS hardware have been going on for far longer than the recent drought of updates....

reggin_bolas said: Same tired argument. It's not about who can actually reproduce. It has to do about who can actually CONCEPTUALLY reproduce. A biological man and woman can at least conceptually reproduce. A man and a man can never. Why does it matter that they could conceptually reproduce when in actuality an infertile couple cannot (at least disregarding avenues that gay...

SJReiter said:Question: How is Mario Party 10 number 8 worldwide but not in the top 10 in any region? Am I reading something wrong? While it didn't make top 10 in any one region, it is actually selling some amount in all three main regions. Most of Japan's top 10 isn't selling (or even released) outside of Japan. Europe and the US happen to have relatively different top...

I don't understand this Reggie quote

in Nintendo Discussion on 24 June 2015

mine said: Just take a look at the sales number of the different Metroid games here at VGChartz. The "fans want a Metroid"? Why didn't they buy Corruption, the Trilogy or Other M? Curroption is great. The Trilogy a steal. And Other M is at minimum a solid Metroid. Trilogy had an extremely short production run and was hard to find on shelves pretty shortly after release. ...

Are the "PC Master Race" days over?

in PC Discussion on 24 June 2015

Mr_No said: I never got this elitist Master Race attitude, and I believe some PC users takes it farther away than a joke. I just went to a Batman Arkham Knight PS4/XB1/PC comparison video and this guy commented on how he asked Steam for a refund for the game since he's running a GTX 980 and a i7 4790, which I guess, is enough to run games pretty well. I'm not saying all the PC gamers are...

Miyamoto: games nowadays look so realistic that they all look the same

mountaindewslave said: he was discussing Star Fox though, surely you do not expect a game about an animal Star Fleet protecting civilans of the galaxy will be in real-to-life graphics do you ? even if it were possible it would be an odd decision, not to mention the series never aimed to look realistic I do hear what he is saying, a lot of companies are going for specs specs...

Kerbal Space program coming to PS4

in Sony Discussion on 16 June 2015

HoloDust said: Yeah, I'm guessing they'll have to either re-code a lot of stuff or make cuts - even with vanilla you can make some insanely big inteplanetary ships, specially if you're assembling in orbit. Pretty sure KSP still only runs on a single core. Presumably the PS4 version will use multithreading, and hopefully that ends up filtering back to the PC version as well....

Splatoon Producer Inks Out Reasons For Lack Of Voice Chat And Staggered Content Roll-Out

the_dengle said: The map would look a lot smaller on the TV screen. When it is in your hands it is like having a second TV screen. You can see many more details that way. You can even tell what kind of weapon the person inking up your base is using. If the map was on the TV you'd have a hard enough time picking up on a general impression of how much of each color was on it. This reminds...

Biggest drop in sales in a game series?

in Sales Discussion on 20 May 2015

Miyamotoo said: Actually Mario Kart 8 is performing better than Mario Kart Wii if look user base, on other hand Wii Sports have biggest drop but again Wii U version is just HD port. I dont think its fair at all to compare sales of games from best selling Nintendo console ever with probably worst selling Nintendo console ever. I've really never understood this argument. It...

Biggest drop in sales in a game series?

in Sales Discussion on 20 May 2015

This list will probably be dominated by Wii>Wii U or DS>3DS series. Wii ___, Brain Training, Nintendogs, etc. These two won't make it into a list of largest drops, but they are somewhat notable for seeing large declines despite going from one to multiple platforms. Epic Mickey and de Blob....

Prediction: PS Vita > WII U Total Lifetime Sales ( worldwide )

uran10 said: Well said :) I also find it funny he claims Wii U is over tracked. We know its overtracked in 2015 but everything has been adjusted for 2014 already (with home consoles atleast). Anyway arguing with this guy is gonna get me banned for wanting to use one of Rol's famous words. It hasn't really. It was adjusted down by around 100k since Q3 financials, but it...

PS4 Dominates Ubisoft's Sales in Fiscal Year 2014/15, Xbox One Follows

Dr.Vita said:Others? I guess this means handhelds? Wow, they are doing better than I thought! Not sure if this post is meant to be sarcastic, but while handhelds did get lumped into "Others" this year, it is only a small portion of it. For 2013/2014 the 3DS was 0%, the Vita was 1%, and Others was 3%. For this year those have all been combined and we can see it is listed as 4% for...

Is the dedicated handheld market really dying or simply returning to normal?

in Sales Discussion on 09 May 2015

I don't really think you can establish any sense of normalcy based on the pre DS Nintendo handhelds. The Gameboy had an extremely long life with a late life resurgence thanks to Pokemon/Color. The GBA on the other hand rocketed out of the gate only to be replaced by the DS early in its life. They were also both near their sales peak at the time their successors rolled out. ...

3DS overtracked. ioi...

in Nintendo Discussion on 07 May 2015

torok said:It's overtracked, but I disagree that's "massive". It sold 52M on VGC. 2M is less than 5% of error. Not bad, actually. It's misleading to base the error on the overall number when you get an update every three months. If I predict zero 3DS units shipped next quarter, and it actually ships 1m, is that a good prediction? I would only be off by a couple percent on...

Ryng_Tolu said: Only because 3DS sell more than what Nintendo shipped, that don't mean is overtracked. Look PS3, PSVita, XBO, PS4... all this console have sold more than what have shipped according to VGChartz. So, ALL cnosole are overtracked? Just for say, one time Nintendo have ship 80,000 GC in a quarter of 2003, and it have sold 120,000 just in a month in the US. Media...
