Nintendo fulfilled the dying wish of a mega Zelda fan

This one of the most heart warming and heart breaking things I've ever read...

I just remember it was Nujabes' birthday today. If you have not taken a listen to his works, please do so. Fans of any genre can find a little something to like in there.

A 10 range spell with 25 uses. Fire Emblem what the ****?




me: Samoa Joe VS Roman Reigns sounds like it would be an awesome match for two big dudes to go through. I wouldnt mind seeing that one day

Mick Foley: ok it's tonight

 

[Robert of Normandy]

So hey.
How old old is Gordin?
because he looks young

I don't think he has a stated age

The wikia says there's a novel that says it's 20, but it also says that's not his age in the game.

He does look really young though. When I pulled him I thought he was Ryan at first.

Him and that other green haired mage(who I have two of for some reason) are throwing me for a loop, I swear

those arent the voices of kids lol

People always talk about hard games, but what about easy games?

Okay, obviously I'm not trying to start a discussion on the easiest games, as those choices would obviously be just kids games and stuff. But what games become easier as the game goes on rather than harder? I've been playing Symphony of the Night for the first time and the game gets easier and easier for me due to better equipment and such.(It also helps that now I know that you don't have to unlock spells.)

Surprised by the recent high activity in the Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion thread.

Been awhile since I've played that game, though.

[Wario Bros.]

Just 100%ed Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge. Man, that final battle was annoying as starting over after losing is pretty lengthy.

Just need to beat Nut & Bolts now.

 

[Deleted member]

I forgot his name now, but I really like the artstyle of the guy who did Ogma, Jagen and Gunter, it has that classic feel to it with the hand-drawn art and the shading. Reminds me a bit of old D&D art
I'd love a FE game with that artstyle

 

[Chrono.]

Lmao Goldberg vs Owens for the title is official.

This year's Mania is shaping up to top last year in sheer meh-ness.

Interesting article regarding Nintendo and it's risk taking.
http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2017-02-03-risky-nintendo-spooks-the-markets

I wonder how much different it would have been had Nintendo expanded onto Smartphones a few years back instead of now. I doubt it'd help the Wii U any, but perhaps there'd be less fear about the Switch and Nintendo's future.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I actually got my 3 meals in today, the first day ever

And it makes me feel like a fatty

I usually only eat 1 meal

 

[Swamp Sensei]

The list is getting bigger and bigger.

Encouraging, but give us the big titles.

If Sami wins the title tonight, it'll probably be a promoted midcard match like Y2AJ last year (which, funnily enough, was also a match of two friends turned enemies... kinda).

I kinda would like if it weren't for the title. I don't like when titles are treated as plot devices rather than the end goal, it's what annoyed me the most out of the ending of Punk's monster reign.

What is "Cube Life"?

A shameless minecraft clone?

I imagine most major titles are getting left for E3 or Directs, as per usual.

Atleast Takeover: Disneyworld will be amazing.

Also I wanna see how much eternal heat Roman gets if that rumored match is legit and he wins.

Unless they finally pull the trigger which that means that Raw has ZERO top babyfaces and I don't see Balor returning until AFTER Wrestlemania Sun

There's no real way to tell, I'd guess. A lot of investor disappointment seems to be that Nintendo hasn't just up and moved to mobile in their entirety, and there's been people even, if not moreso, trying to throw every single console and even PCs under the bus in the name of mobile being the only future technological platform in existence as far back as when the Wii U came out.

There's a certain attitude that Nintendo should only do whatever the specific clique that happens upon them says or they're doomed to fail, be it the more opinionated parts of the casual market trying to force them onto mobile only or the equivalent in the core market trying to force them onto PS4/XB1 only.

The truth of the matter is as it's listed in the article at one point: Nintendo doesn't really have much of a choice except to jump out there and take a risk instead of being forgotten in a sea of identical other things. Since investors that don't follow video games can only see the benefit in them pursuing massive mobile hits, the mere idea of them making another console at all has them disappointed.

Nintendo has always been called doomed from the start. There's no way to tell what their proper journey is or if they'll make it, but darned if they won't try. All they can really do at this point is charge forward with all they have, understanding the past and holding on to hope for the future.

I think you're misunderstanding what the investors are wanting. They're not disappointed that Nintendo hasn't jumped to mobile only because those same investors acknowledge that mobile is also really risky. They're disappointed that Nintendo hasn't incorporated mobile at all into their strategy until this year. A lot of the major AAA publishers have been acquiring mobile developers lately, because mobile is one more way to expand their brand and raise awareness of things. The success of Pokemon Sun/Moon owes thanks to Pokemon GO, because that game provided awareness and renewed interest in older fans. Had it not been for Pokemon GO, Sun/Moon would probably not have sold nearly as much as it had.

It's not enough to just develop a console and makes games exclusively for it anymore. It's why Microsoft is releasing all of their first party titles on PC now. Having a larger, more engaged audience is one of the keys to success in this day and age.

People will tend to forget why third parties avoid Nintendo and it's more than just sales.


It's the fact that they have to compete with Nintendo franchises.

PS franchises don't sell as well as they used to back in the PS2 days and most of their sales of those series are due to PSN sales and console bundles. Xbox has Halo and Gears but most of those games don't interfere with third party sales.

The highest selling games are always the multiplatform titles like GTA, Overwatch, FIFA and CoD.

But Nintendo has franchises that can easily siphon sales of those games.

It's why fighters post SNES sold like trash on Nintendo systems sans a few exceptions because Smash ****ed up everything and Nintendo fans don't buy anything outside of their bubble unless Nintendo themselves put effort and help for those games.


Want Overwatch or CoD on there, too bad Splatoon will get bigger sales over them.

Sports games will never survive on there maybe a few Mario games might push it.

Racing games are ****ed if Mario Kart is on there and even F-Zero would do damage

And good luck to platformers that aren't Sonic, Megaman, big indie titles or Rayman.

Let's put it like this, there's a reason Skyrim is being released on Switch AFTER BoTW drops

Indeed. It's also why Sony attempted to make movies with limited success but it helped the Rachel and Clank game big time.

There's a reason Pokemon never died off. It is never hesitant to explore a new meidum or marketing style.

They got Sami and........... RIP (actually Rusev is way overdue a face turn imo).

Smackdown has a similar issue. It's like WWE forgot how to build faces.

I don't think it's a matter of, Nintendo games cut into the sales of other games, moreso that Nintendo is just a ***** to work with for third party devs. They've had a long history of being difficult to work with, and as Nintendo console gradually lose relevance in the market, it just makes it that much harder for devs to be interested. Why go to Nintendo who is hard to work with and has a smaller userbase when you can go to Playstation or Xbox who are both much larger and much easier.

To be fair, Smackdown atleast have Cena, Ambrose and Orton who the latter is really just a Tweener waiting to backstab Bray.


Plus they sacrificed it all just for Roman to get over and it'll never work.

It's Goldberg vs LESNAR exist because we can't get our new talent over so let's bring in a bunch of old guys.

They had a man and they killed his spirit

They had another but they killed his passion

It's why The Rock has to save their sorry ass all the time and they got him hurt to not wrestle anymore just to give Cena's win back

True but that's been a problem for over 25 years that Yamaguchi ****ed up.

That's not a Iwata or Kishimima problem but something Yamaguchi truly caused out of making sure he had control.

It why when there were actual alternatives like Sega game in and made much easier to work with and Sony have them more options instead of limitations.

However Nintendo games do hurt sales of other series which is reasons why other franchises don't appear on Nintendo systems that have much more mass appeal.

And the only way they gotta sell is to add a Nintendo cameo.
