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.

On the bright side on that, it seems like Nintendo actually is attempting to make it easier for third parties to work with them this generation as part of their attempt to adapt. Their past issues on that front and the power gap that comes with a portable system definitely make it a matter of swimming upstream, but at the very least Nintendo actually seems to be trying in this department now.

I think this is part of why Nintendo's already started to see a surge of indies even before their devkits are really widely available. They started fixing things on that front during the Wii U gen and with the Switch now have a ton of compatible engines, so people willing to give them a chance that wouldn't be risking millions of dollars or be forced to downgrade their games doing so are more than able to jump onto the ecosystem.

They had DBry and they killed his spirit

Actually I think they killed his health. . .

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.

Hi Soul Calibur 2 and Bayonetta

I do recall EA adding Mario characters to SSX On Tour and NBA Street 3. Believe the reasoning was to attract more Nintendo fans.

Nintendo fans gotta branch out.

They're getting a surge of interest, but it seems Nintendo isn't actually doing much for these Indie devs outside of a few choices.

If anything, Nintendo seems a bit too tight with the Switch.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

That moment you are training and the one unit you are trying to level up dies

 

[Aurane]

The list is getting bigger and bigger.

Encouraging, but give us the big titles.

Ah, we got some good titles here as is. Skyrim, Minecraft, and Cave Story are three of my most favorite titles.

Right now I'm waiting for a possible Undertale reveal. I heard Toby is interested in getting it on a Nintendo system, and Nintendo did say they could move computer games over to the Switch within a... Year, I think? Anyways, I have hope for that.

New game-wise, I'm interested in Seasons of Heaven. I believe that's the game that was leaked earlier in the year.

I hope you step on a Lego and your 3DS breaks for reopening wounds.

There's also SPO Little Mac being in Fight Night Round 2.


At this point Nintendo should beg and grovel for third parties and ask for exclusive costumes, cameos and stages that are Nintendo related like for Overwatch, Saints Row, Resident Evil, LEGO games, Tekken 7, Dragon Ball Xenoverse and even niche stuff like Puyo Puyo and BlazBlue

I don't want Overwatch to have any exclusive stuff if it ever gets a switch port.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Well worth the money spent.

 

[Kurri ★]

Please tell me this is a joke.

I'm gonna be really disappointed to realize I could've made +$100,000 just for a ****ing cheeto

WHO WANTS FREE STUFF?

That's still not enough to promote my Nino but it'll at least speed up the precess significantly
Hope they keep on doing this kind of thing with FEH because everyone loves free stuff

 

[MF Viewtiful]

Well worth the money spent.

I think I died a little on the inside.

 

[Deleted member]

Well worth the money spent.

Over 100 people seriously bid thousands of dollars on a CHEETO of all things, just because of an overrated meme.

Good job, internet. Good job. /s

 

[Aurane]

What a cheesy bid.

I retweeted this from all three accounts I have access to, so I better get three times the Feathers. I want my 5* Catria and Shiida already.

I don't think I shared my ID here yet, so you're all welcome to add me at 5572753695. Need more feathers.

 

[Ivander]

I think Overwatch should get a bit more before going on the Switch. I mean, at least Splatoon 2 is most likely to have some single player stuff for when the player is away from their internet. For Overwatch right now, as far as I know, all of it's stuff is Online only. How exactly would the player be able to do anything on the go unless they have some wi-fi thing around them at all times? Basically, I think Overwatch needs to develop some non-online content before it comes to the Switch.

Nah it's fine how it is. It doesn't need offline anything.

Well I remember when people paid like $60K for bagged air from a Kanye West concert on ebay

so

 

[Ivander]

Well, I certainly wouldn't mind some more PvE content like Junkenstein's Revenge. That was easily one of the best game modes.

 

[Kurri ★]

That was still online though.

I don't think Blizzard wants to release any single player content for the game

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Pokken and Marvel are neck and neck.

Seriously, this could go either way.

Did my part for Marvel. Glad I did too.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Apparently Shofu has 2000 bucks to give to Pokken.

Dunno if he gave it yet.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

I really really wish the games will tie. Just see what Joey will do about it.

All I can think of is that " Why not both?" meme right now

 

[Yellowlord]

Well; this is very late and cutting it close since I am close to 20 minutes away from being in February 7th, but happy birthday to the iconic and Legendary Psychic-type Pokemon Mewtwo!

 

[Aetheri]

Moar Xenoblade....taking a break from story stuff because holy crap, just doing sidequests and Colony 6 stuff for now...
honestly haven't a clue where to find a lot of the stuff I need and Juju's not really being that helpful...

Also running around Gaur Plains and I see a red Explanation Point, as I try to get over there the only way to get to it is through a Lv 90 creature that's blocking the path...Y U do this to me game?!
I may need to do some grinding as there's some other things I encountered for some quests that are rather high levelled...

Apparently I also found out that Shulk can build weapons back at Colony 9....would've been nice to know before being this far into the game...but I guess that's my fault for basically ignoring most areas as I progress...

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Juju's not really being that helpful...

Fandom's thoughts on Juju in a nutshell

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Does anyone know if in FE Heroes, heroes of different star rankings get access to different abilities?

My Sharena is the spear user I've been using... Unfortunately. She has access to no more abilities, and doesn't have anything too spectacular. Usually is the first person to die.

If I increase her star ranking, will she have access to more abilities while I search for a better spearman?

 

[Cutie Gwen]

There was a problem fetching the tweet

This is probably the most savage comment about DCEU I've ever seen

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I just saw a video where a guy said Metroid Fusion is an insult to him and game design in general.

...

That's one of my favorite Metroid games.

 

[redfeatherraven]

Not sure.

Hold on a moment.

Let me exspearament.

That video is an insult to you and life in general

 

[Swamp Sensei]

People seem to have really strange ideas on what makes good game design.

So many people have it as a rigid thing, when it really shouldn't be.

It honestly depends entirely on the game and how the level compliments the game's engine and such imo. Fusion still allows exploration despite being fairly linear, which I say is good

Are you talking about The Geek Critique video?

If so, then yeah, that second guy... I dunno. Mind you I've never played a Metroid game (despite being a devout Samus Main), but I'm more than certain Fusion is not an insult to game design in anyway. Perhaps there's questionable things, but an insult? You're reaching a lot.

Holy ****, Kamen Rider ripped off Kill la Kill. That's TOTALLY Gamagoori. He even has 3 stars

Yes actually.

I was enjoying both the praise and critique until that point.

As someone who's played both Super and Fusion, many of the criticisms were either countered by points the other guy stated in the first half or can easily be seen as "individual player" problems where one player played a game a certain way whereas most others didn't. Like his complaint that he found most of the secret paths before the standard paths.That strikes me as something only the seasoned Metroid player would find. Not a beginner or average player.

Regardless, the guy was unfair in his criticism and got some... odd personal feelings from the game.

I've never played a Metroid game

Girl.

Metroid games.

They're like sex, but better.

You gotta try one.

I suppose someday I will. I have tried Zero Mission and it was cool, but I never really got much farther than the beginning. Same with Prime. Although, i don't think I could ever play Prime after being spoiled with proper FPS controls. Like, i can't aim up or down freely, what is this?

This is so true it hurts.

Egorapter has a very strange idea of what a good video game is.

Have you tried Metroid Prime Trilogy?
