Switch owners, did you have a Wii U/3DS?

in Nintendo Discussion 21 hours ago

curl-6 said: Had I known then what I know now, I would've skipped both Wii U and 3DS and just waited for the Switch, but hindsight is 20:20. It's my impression that most of what was good on the 3DS has yet to be ported to Switch. Whereas the Wii U's library has been almost completely compromised.But maybe this isn't your specific concern? ...

Switch owners, did you have a Wii U/3DS?

in Nintendo Discussion 21 hours ago

Had a Wii U and was quite pleased with it. The 3DS struck me a bit too much as "more of the same" of the DS family, and I wasn't really interested in most of the games that came out the first few years. Subsequently I never bought in to it, despite probably considering the DS family my favorite game systems ever. ...

EA: "There isn't much room for other titles than 1st party on Switch"

in Nintendo Discussion on 17 February 2020

Same as usual from EA. But I get it. Nintendo players are hard to reach with games like FIFA and Madden NFL that mostly just promise you to be cool by association. You have to really make something that's great fun to play and (even if just occasionally) feels new. ...

What is your favorite type of RPG?

Did Breath of the Wild live up to the hype for you?

in Nintendo Discussion on 10 January 2020

Far outperformed my expectations. They were quite low. I hated Skyward Sword. And I haven't really played and enjoyed an open-world setting since maybe Daggerafll and Morrowind. Aside from that, the animé-style character designs weren't my favorite, and and the terrain textures in the opening areas from the trailers have sport some pretty gaudy colors when bathed in the game's midday...

What should Nintendo have done instead of Wii U?

in Nintendo Discussion on 06 January 2020

I think they should have just done Wii U right, instead of doing something else.And with right, I don't mean anything thing like processing power.So what do I mean?---- I mean proper naming, identity and marketing. Ever "Super Wii" would have been better than "Wii U". And why not bring back the two polite japanese men from the Wii ads, and have them say something like "See You on Wii U", if they...

The lie that helped build Nintendo

As a Nintendo fan from Denmark through many many years, this certainly fills in a lot of blanks for me! Been quite a while since I could say this in earnest but: Thanks, IGN! ...

Rumor: Super Metroid remake and Metroid Prime trilogy are coming to the Switch

in Nintendo Discussion on 29 November 2019

This doesn't even have to be a "rumor" or a "leak". It might as well be educated guessing. Nintendo has had very little Metroid presence on Switch so far, but the eShop HAS been hosting a lot of indie games inspired by Super Metroid. If they want to sell something as absurdly titled as "Metroid Prime 4" to a host of Switch owners who have (presumably) no idea what that means, they better...

So... nobody else is worried about DOOM Eternal on Switch?

in Nintendo Discussion on 29 June 2019

I'm not as such worried about it. But I'm not in the target audience in the first place, so I wouldn't be buying, nomatter the framerate they achieved. I think it's nice to see the games arrive at the same time as other versions. But naturally, I also hope the players are satisfied, as for the core gamer market on Switch to not completely die off. ...

Battletoads looks like a cheap basic cable cartoon.

in Gaming Discussion on 19 June 2019

Thing is, it was the original Ninja Turtles series that was "cheap". Along with all the other muscle-men series of the 80s and early 90s. The characters were designed by people with no background in animation, and the productions were shipped off to the far east. And the results would show as much. You may not like the new designs, but I'd believe it if someone told me it made for a much...

The cart limitations of the Switch is really starting to hurt the console.

I think the limitations are starting to hurt the games, developers, and the publishers. Not as much the system....

Diablo 1 is now available on GOG

in Gaming Discussion on 09 March 2019

At least they have the wherewithal to make it a front page news story. Lately, a lot of the stuff they have been featuring arguably hasn't been very good, certainly hasn't been old, and in some cases you could raise question about it being games at all. :)...

Nintendo's share price takes a -4% hit after MP4's announcement.

Well yes, after growing over 20% over just the past four weeks. I think the bigger issue would have been the game coming out and being crap. ...

Nindie Showcase annouced for tomorrow

in Nintendo Discussion on 22 January 2019

I'm about ready for a slew of new reveals! Hoping to see some kind of CupHead Complete / Complimental / Continental / Crumpet / Croissant / Cupboard / Crüsli / CreamCheese edition. And some more PC double-A productions would be sweet. Frostpunk, Obduction, Talos Principle, ANNO 1800. I could dig it. ...

Nintendo won't make more mini consoles.

in Nintendo Discussion on 18 December 2018

Of course it is a good decision. A sale of an NES mini or SNES mini won't carry anymore sale with them at all. It's a 60 or 80 dollar one time thing. That they have to share with some of the license holders that have games on there. In comparison, Mario Odyssey on its own has already made more money for Nintendo than those two micro consoles combined, when all costs are factored in. They...
