Speaking of Fire Emblem, do you think the mobile game will be premium or FTP? If that latter, what are some examples on the market that you hope Nintendo will NOT follow.
As long as their mobile format can be described as "Absolutely Nothig Like Zynga's" I'd be fine. :p

If there are multiple directs before the Switch's release I'll eat a pair of mayonnaise slathered underwear.

Das gay
Oh, there's a Faiā Emuburemu direct tomorrow?
I might take another break then.
This thread will explode considering how many people here are FE fans. Since I still haven't played any game in the franchise, I'll better stay out of here for some time because otherwise I'll get lost pretty quickly.
Nah, just keep eating ass like your custom title says :p

I prefer it to be F2P, so that I can actually play the thing.

And please release it on the same day for Android and iOS. I don't care about Super Mario Run any more.

Bring It On is a 2000 American teen comedy film that was directed by Peyton Reed and written by Jessica Bendinger. The film stars Kirsten Dunst, Eliza Dushku, Jesse Bradford, and Gabrielle Union. It was the first of the Bring It On film series and was followed by four direct-to-video sequels, none of which contain any of the original cast members: Bring It On Again (2004), which shared producers with the original, Bring It On: All or Nothing (2006), Bring It On: In It to Win It (2007), and Bring It On: Fight to the Finish (2009). The plot of the film centers around a team's preparation for, and participation in cheerleading competitions.

So in the rumors department, someone on NeoGAF has found a mention of Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation for the Nintendo Switch on Fire Emblem Warriors' source code on Nintendo.com.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=228518482&postcount=354

What do you all think about this? I personally find myself being skeptical about this despite the evidence provided.

However, the bonus is SIGNIFICANTLY worse than the other consoles that have subscription services, which are 5 a month.

Also, y'all are stupid, Jim wasn't serious with 'Mario Odyssey looks like Sonic 06'. If you thought he was, clearly, you haven't seeh enough of his content

Errr, you DO realize that sourcing a leak is pretty much going "He did it" and increases the likelihood they get caught, ergo, punished? It's ****ing respectful to your source not to do that
Assuming you actually have stuff to leak and aren't simply making up random **** for attention, and seeing what sticks.

Also, I saw the Jim video as well. He's certainly not happy with the Switch. I was gonna post the video, as his thoughts are identical to what I've been saying for months, but I've already been too much antiSwitch Tbh.

The online was something I wanted to ask everyone here though

Those of you buying a Switch, how do you feel about the online?

And when comparing it to the competition, how do you justify it?

You can't get away with simply charging a premium for online service, you gotta offer something, this is why PlayStation for example gives you discounts, and even FREE GAMES. Plus it's got built in voice chat, etc... It's a worthwhile deal. Nintendo on the other hand, despite having the biggest catalog of of games out of anyone in the industry, will let you rent a NES/SNES game for one month. Offers no direct VC, no additional features, and costs $5 amonth, MORE than PS+.

It's incredibly greedy, since it's not justified.

And no, servers aren't expensive, most games today are in fact p2p. That's b.s., online service is ACTIALLY super profitable for companies.

However, here's why I ask. If Nintendo gets away with offering this service, and people don't complain told vote with their wallet, then it sets a precedent, and then Sony and MS will copy Nintendo, and offer a bad service at a high price, and we all lose. So no, it's not OK when Nintendo does it.

So again, future Switch owners, how do you justify the online service Nintendo is offering?

And if you can't, thenand please make sure you just don't go along with it, and DEMAND Nintendo offer something better.

Because that is b.s., and if you enabled this ****, we all lose.

Randy Pitchford made a R34 reddit for Battleborn to promote it, it was made shortly before he tweeted about "Oh, this exist" and there was only 1 person on there then. hmmmmmmmmmmm
Yes. I am a known homosexual.
Dude, I know that. I've been here for a while
I apologize if I went to far with that last joke there.

This makes the above comment ten times worse.
No it doesn't, because mayo is the most gay thing to put on your food, I'm talking about condiments you perv

As long as I can do stuff like trading Pokémon, browsing the eShop and download and update games without paying a monthly fee, I admittedly don't care about the online fee.

Pretty much my thoughts exactly. So long as I can access the eShop, update my games and use the Web Browser (If that's still a thing) without having to pay any monthly/annual fee's. I'll be fine. I don't really go online much other than playing a bit of Mario Kart or Smash every once in a long while anyway....

Laura DID have stuff to leak, again, she leaked stuff before she started on the Switch, she leaked the PS4 Slim and the specs of it. Oh, and she got Rayman Legends and Steep ports right too. She CLEARLY wasn't making stuff up, her sources had true AND false info

How I personally feel about online: I rarely play online anyway, not to mention the only time I'd use it won't be paid fue to being eshop or 3DS
Nintendo's online services with the Switch: Please take some feedback for ****s sake

...every time I mention Borderlands here...
Oh, I've played Borderlands with a friend, it's fun, but Gearbox is so laughable at times

I'm feeling particularly Roger-y today.

Sooo with the change of set and a fine adieu, I bid you all goodbye to get some sleep.

God, why am I just now getting sleep? Why do I do this to myself? When will I ever learn? I'd like to learn to also make a million dollars. That'd be nice. Wouldn't that be nice? OH! Who wants to rob a bank with me? Anybody in? Oh, right. Bed. But when I wake up we're totally robbing a bank.

Remember with leaks, that sometimes companies uses false information to catch who is leaking information by giving suspects different info. That would explain why "trusted" sources suddenly start giving out claptrap.

People here mock Nintendo all the time, it's just that nobody had yet posted how Randy Pitchford tried to plug BB by using a porn reddit
Maybe its because that's old news nobody gives a **** about anymore? I could go off about the FE petting thing but that's not even relevant anymore.

EDIT: When did that reddit thing happen again? I mixed it up with something else I think.

BB was a disaster in nearly every point. Everything that could go wrong went wrong. The reddit thing was just icing on the **** cake that BB is.

It just seems like a ****ty excuse to say, "lmao gearbox".

Pokemon battling and trading will undoubtedly be a part of the service offered, and require a subscription, and that you use their mobile app.

In which case, would you pay? $60 a year.

Here's another thing. For $60 a year, very few games and potential games on Switch take advantage of the service. Whereas nearly EVERY PS4 game offers online features of some sort.

So say, Smash, MK8, Splatoon 2, and Pokemon. All have online features.

$60 a year, Voice Chat and lobbies through your phone, no miiverse, no free games (you get to rent a SNES rom for free for one month), meager discounts, same VC library as the Wii U. Connection is more stable than Wii U, but it needs the $30 Ethernet adapter.

Would you pay for it?

And are you fine with this deal when compared to the competition?

If Nintendo had better games that go online, sure.

See, I dunno if I'm alone here, but I feel Mario Kart, Smash Bros and such are games better played offline with friends. Splatoon is the only real exception.

Only thing that suprises me about Battleborne at this point is that it's not gone FTP. But there's already a half decent FTP Overwatch like game on Steam in the form of Paladins so maybe that market is shut. And before anyone esle brings up it's more a DOTA shooter, Super Monday Night Combat.

In that case, no, I won't. $60/year is too much for me.
I hardly even use online anyway, as the internet here is terrible, so I'll simply stop playing the little online I do.

I'm not Nintendo's primary target, so I can't speak for players in North America or Europe though.

But online service is something that used to be free.

Having to pay for it now, without offering anything new to entice the change is unjustified, and greedy.

And as I said, it sets a bad precedent.

It wasn't old news, but a few days old

And everyone with taste hates the petting thing

Randy said that there's some f2p thing planned. I don't think Paladins is the issue, but rather how people would feel like it's a ****ty move as people who paid money would get NOTHING
