I'm confused as to what that setup is... does a TV go on that table?... and if so, you have to reach behind the TV to put the game in. If not, that's one huge reach across.

Do you see this choice as a sustainable future for Nintendo?

Sweet, Thanks!

Skyward Sword is my second favourite behind Ocarina. Magical game.

And that's the way it is. Huh!

lol if Legs is the sequel. The Hitmonlee to Hitmonchan.

Yeah I had SO much fun with the 3DS game, it just needed a bit more variety in locations and more vehicles perhaps. Although I got what I needed to from it. Yeah, outside of Mario Kart there are few multiplayer games I feel suit 'meet-up multiplayer' better. It can be up there with Smash.

I'll be honest, I'm not overly keen on the art style... I find it a little too 'clean'. It's the same problem I have with MK8, which isn't to say it doesn't look amazing... I just think there comes a point where a cartoony artstyle begins to take itself a bit too seriously, which is what I felt with MK8. It's the same thing with Melee's artstyle vs. Brawls.

I feel like you've said it's perfect and then basically asked them to make a new one, in one sentence :p

Spring Man/Ribbon Girl (alt costume) are so gonna be added to the port of Smash Bros.

lol Resi 4 is such an awful pick... I'd love to see a couple of Dreamcast classics make a return, most notably a new Super Monkey Ball that does SMB1 justice... and Power Stone, which has amazing 4-player local co-op potential with the portable and joycons. I'd settle for ports. CrazyTaxi would also be great too.

Final evolution of the 'Prove It ticket' confirmed! #EasyAllies

Yeah but an accessory is never gonna generate as much hype as a console release! Put Wii U Pre Order up against Wii Wheel Pre Order and see how that looks.

Gaming evolves hand in hand with technology and thus 4K/HDR gaming is going nowhere. But just because we have this technology it doesn't mean you can't play a Shovel Knight on it.

The Wii U almost ruined them as a home console manufacturer, and is quite possibly why they are having to charge for online this gen.

Actually that's a good point, there's no reason this couldn't have been more structured like a Wario Ware... or even Wario Ware.

Blockbuster would be 37 years old this year. What's your point? Make bad decisions and you'll go out of business. Want to remind me how Sega are doing?

Nintendo's Wii -> Wii U transition :p

Spend all 400 million and it wouldn't... but correct me if I'm wrong, but it's not like you sit on the board of directors at Nintendo and are qualified to talk about their finances.

What?... That profit then has to go into future development... they're not just sitting on it Scrooge McDuck style.

I don't mean to slight Nintendo's past work, but I do feel the 'value' of NES/SNES games has greatly diminished by this stage. The amount of times Nintendo have given the same games away over consoles/promotions/NES classic over the years is in itself a joke these days. If the rental games were (as in my opinion they should be to add value) N64/Gamecube/Wii games... I think this would all be a much smaller issue. Knowing that I'll be receiving NES/SNES games for an online subscription almost turns me off the service more - because it's just the same old thing, and no one wants that in any aspect of life. I think it's fair to say the value of PS+ has diminished lately... however I still think there's something to be said for still providing experiences people haven't played, even if they're not the missed PS3 blockbusters they were 6 months/a year or so ago.

Do you think Nintendo are emphasising the TV <-> Handheld function enough in their advertising running up to launch? The initial Switch reveal video seemed like it put it across well, but in the latest Superbowl ad it was barely shown - and even then I'd personally say the focus wasn't clear enough on what was actually happening - as in the shot itself should have made the Switch from Handheld to TV more evident. It didn't actually show the image moving from one device to the other, and for all intents and purposes could have been someone just picking up a game save on the home console once they'd returned home with the device. I'm very surprised there isn't one TV -> Handheld and one Handheld -> TV moment in every advert - considering the short lead up to launch. The Superbowl ad seemed ridiculously handheld focused, which is fine if that's the message Nintendo want to portray - it'll be the bigger market for them - I just wasn't aware that it was. (for reference)

I think this is a nice idea for small Indie games that may go unnoticed. I think it's instantly apparent which Indie games should get their own thread, games like FAST (can just use the existing thread), Rime, Journey, Unfinished Swan... but it's felt a bit desperate lately starting a new thread for every new Switch Indie game - obviously due to lack of confirmed/launch titles. Threads may get a couple of posts and then they sink. If a game builds enough momentum before launch, or is well worth everyone discussing and sharing upon it's release then it can always get it's own thread at that time. I wouldn't have left a comment in the Tumbleseed thread because singularly it doesn't captivate my interest [at this stage], but I'm happy it was brought to my attention - and was going to comment as such here.

The only factor could be if Nintendo do Zelda/Mario themed-console bundles - if you're a fan of such console designs.

I dunno, I was just talking, but you're still doing a good job of finding things to *moan* about so I think we're set.
