So what you’re actually saying is that Sakurai (and Nintendo) are lying when they’re saying everyone is back. And that this Link isn’t a veteran fighter and his character slot number is incorrect. Nice try buddy, now try again!

I think Nintencan but Nintenwont...

I can agree with most of it, but why have you placed BotW Link under Wii U while you placed a modern iteration of let’s say Pac Man under Arcade? It’s still Link just with a different outfit, right?

In that case I’m happy it isn’t rainy today or we’d be getting a sequel called Golden Rain....

Nintendo obviously understand the importance of voice chat.

On the other hand, Nintendo is very experienced when it comes to swimming against the current But yeah, it’s very interesting to see if their approach will make them succesfull in the mobile space.

I think Miyamoto’s quote wasn’t intended as critisising other companies though. I read it as evaluating their own efforts up to this point. They experimented with different models and want to move forward with a model that didn’t make them the most money because they believe they can make a different model into a success. It’ll be interesting to see if they can make a part of the mobile gamers move in the same direction.

Yes, but that's exactly my point; the target market for a game (or even console) is different and every piece of software or hardware makes for a different market strategy. I'm relatively sure both Rockstar and Nintendo in the first place are in this game for the money

I bought it at €59,99 which was the RRP here. Was it a budget title in the UK? Didn't know that. -EDIT- Just Googled it and you're right! I clearly got screwed over by a retailer then! :')

You make a good point, but Captain Toad doesn't release full price. It's €39,99 instead of €59,99 #nitpicking In the end it's all down to mass market analytics; the consumers decide the worth of your product by buying it, or not. Nintendo (first party) software typically doesn't drop in price until games get the Nintendo Select treatment (usually after set number of sales). Games that bomb do get dropped in price a lot though (Mario Tennis Ultra Smash, Star Fox Zero and Codename S.T.E.A.M. are good examples). Sure, for an individual consumer this can be annoying because you feel and older game should be cheaper, but then again you don't have to buy it. A lot of other consumers don't seem to care though. That's also one of the reasons most first party Nintendo titles have such a high value on the second hand market. -EDIT- Oh, and let's not forget the target demographic; a lot of Nintendo software is bought by families for kids. Those families don't need a game on release but most of the time buy them as a gift for let's say their child's birthday or holiday. That's a reason Nintendo doesn't need to lower some prices, their titles often keep sales momentum for a longer period of time.

No, in an ideal world the consumer shouldn’t pay for a company’s fault. I was coming from a business point of view. And no again, your list was basicaly something I agree with, someone else stated (was it @Sheikah maybe?) that only Nintendo sell ports of last generation titles for full price. That’s obviously no true. Personaly I’m no fan of all the Wii U ports as I owned all of them and am dying for some original first party games, but I can understand it from a business point of view.

I think Nintendo needs to sell their ports for full price because they didn’t make enough money on these games when they released on Wii U. They lost a lot of money and this is a way to make up for that loss. I only double dipped with Mario Kart because I want to have that game on my Switch. I also saw someone make a statement about Nintendo being the only company selling ports for full price. That’s blatantly not true though; when PS4/X1 launched a lot of their launch line ups consisted of PS3/X360 ports for full price. Remakes/ports/collections of games that are a lot older (say 2 generations old) sometimes go full price and sometimes a lot cheaper. I don’t see a business standard that’s typical for any of the manufacturers. They all sometimes sell for less than the original game and sometimes the current market price for a new game.

What I hope/wish/want from this Nindies Direct; Tower Fall, Cuphead, Fez, No Man’s Sky, a successor to Machinarium, a successor to Thomas was Alone, Unravel 1+2, Braid, Hotline Miami 1+2. I don’t ask for much right?

Aw man, my bad! Didn’t take notice of the time of your post

Doesn’t this game release after the launch of the paid online service though?

That first line 'Everyone in the same boat' Did they dare do THAT again....!? I need to watch the video because I hope that doesn't mean what I think it does but I'm really afraid it does..... -EDIT- Watched the first few minutes and all seems to be good, there's no obligatory 'together in one vehicle' nonsense and I really like the character specific special dice they added as an alternative to your normal dice. I'll buy this to play together with the family now! Not gonna watch the rest of the video nor will I read anything else about this game up to its launch now, great!

I did a dazzybee 🙈 Played the tutorial and a short offline game with and against AI. Will try to play some online tomorrow. Just couldn’t resist it!! By the way, what I’ve played of it was really fun!

I'm really trying to hold back from buying this immediately. Everything this game does looks so fun and creative. From the concept up unto the avatars, it's exactly my type of game by the looks of it. But indeed, if it runs bad then I don't see lots of people buying and playing it, making a purchase without reading reviews/impressions a no-go for me.

It’s not for everyone but I loved all the three games when i played them on PC. But that was 99% LAN gaming with my buddies at the time. I’m not sure if I will still like it as much now that I will only be able to enjoy it as an online multi player and/or single player only experience. But if you’ve never experienced it: it’s a great action RPG/dungeon crawler. The style and story, the atmosphere, the tension, it’s all really great!

Wait, what? You’re gonna get married @Ashley??? Congratulations man!!

Subliminal messaging? Brown noise? You should Google it to find out if others experienced the same. And visit a doctor maybe? Weird

I'm exactly the same, that box is pure art!

Shouldn't have given his fellow kart drivers that death stare, suits him right!

If I've read all predictions correctly, @Ugh first aid gets a point for K. Rool, @Nintendo Fan get's a point for Dark Samus (nice call!) and @Fused King for Simon Belmont.

And you call yourself a fan? Check this out: spoiled character info
