Yeah, this board really is pathetic. Any reasonable fanbase would rightfully be ****ing angry at how Nintendo treats the people who buy their products. Nintendo knows they can get away with screwing over anyone who bought their products the first time, and this stupid ****ing fanbase is just going to sit here and lap up their ****ty, no-effort ports that force first-time players to buy the games again. Absolutely ****ing pathetic.

And I know that at least half this forum is going to be triggered by this, and write scathing rebuttals to me because they can't handle the fact their company isn't actually perfect. I can see it now: I'm going to get a bunch of responses detailing about how Nintendo is perfectly in the right to screw over any customers they feel like, and nobody will ever think that letting this **** slide might be a bad thing.

So, I'll say it again: absolutely ****ing pathetic. And with that, I'm out of here.
The classic:


Enjoy your mad.

Sooo....Nintendo treats their fanbase like **** because they are releasing a few ports?

You make it sound like the Switch has nothing BUT ports coming in 2018...

If you're really that butthurt about it, then don't buy them...

Oh boo hoo, let me play a sad song for you on the world's smallest violin.
I think you need to study laws more. We have the rights to have an opinion, and freedom of speech in the internet. We know every company is not perfect. We just want to have a good time, please do not ruin the fun for all of us. We are all allowed to have opinions, I agree with what Opossum Opossum said, I hope you find something that calms you down.
So long(-a) @n8han11 !

RE: Ninty's schedule. Still plenty of games new to the Switch and i'm sure there are plenty of big games coming. I imagine we're just in a lull, just like any console would have without huge quantities of good 3rd party games.

Based on how angry you are, and how enflamed you currently are, I don't expect you to take any criticism, or even come back to this board anytime soon, but I think i'll give it a shot for all the other people in the thread.


Nintendo obviously isn't perfect. People constantly talk about how the Switch is missing basic features other consoles have or its online functions (or lack thereof).


Obviously, criticizing a company and its decisions is valid. What isn't vaild, is stuff like this, where you insult other users just because they don't have the same opinion as you.

Next time, try to keep your opinions respectful and backed up with evidence, and be prepared to argue your point. Instead of this where no evidence is provided and then you resort to insults immediately after anyone replies. Hope you enjoyed my "scathing rebuttal because I think Nintendo is perfect"

That is not at all what freedom of speech means, by the way.

Freedom of Speech means the government, the government specifically, cannot censor your speech. Private entities like websites are absolutely allowed to.

Oh, well thank you. I think the Opossum race is slowly competing with that of the humans, I have never seen such a smart Opossum before.

Screwed over? All Nintendo did was announce a few ports of games that more than likely didn't sell well on a system hardly anyone really bought (and I DID buy it, just. . .not those games). They want their money back on that investment, no one is owed anything for "supporting" them because all the handful of people that actually bought the Wii U did was buy a product. I may have a pretty positive outlook on Nintendo compared to most, but even I can tell you that buying their products isn't a lifestyle. They don't owe you anything, you don't owe them anything. They make a product you may potentially enjoy, you have the option to buy it, or not buy it. If they release it on another system, you have the option to not buy it, or sell the physical copies of the old version and buy it again if you prefer.

And the only first party IP port I've bought (unless BotW is counted for some reason despite being a simultaneous release) was Mario Kart 8 Deluxe specifically over content it had that the Wii U version I did not buy lacked. I never really enjoyed Pokken the first time so I skipped the port, and I have no interest in picking up Tropical Freeze either. So that's where I stand on that ground.

Indeed. And like I also mentioned, people were, in fact, asking for ports. People were asking for ports of Mario Maker, Hyrule Warriors, Wonderful 101, etc. Heck, people wanted ports of 3rd party games, including Dark Souls, which we are getting. It's funny how people are complaining about ports despite the fact that people were indeed asking for ports. And this is for the first half of the year. We certainly haven't seen what's coming out for the 2nd half.

Reading the description of the Donkey Kong trailer for Mario + Rabbids raises something interesting: "Donkey Kong will be exclusive to this brand new adventure".

Hopefully it's not implying he can't be used outside of the new story. It could really great in the co-op and versus mode.

no-effort ports that force first-time players to buy the games again.
I looks at my copy of MK8 and my unexisting copy of MK8D.
"Oh no..."
My hand slowly reaches my wallet, I try to fight it, but it's stronger than me.
"No, please, I'm saving this money!"
My other hand opens it and takes all my hard earned cash.
"*Sobbing* Please don't make me do this, I can spend it on something I don't have!"
My feet start moving too, before I realise, I'm in the closest gaming store. One of my hands is holding the cash and the other has a note with "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe please" written on it, I don't know when they had time to write this but that's the least of my concerns at the moment.
"Please, don't listen to them! Don't accept this money!"
"Sorry, no can do" the store clerk bluntly tells me "I need just one more sale to hit my quota for the month. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, right? Here you go, have fun."
My hand hands over the money and takes the game, I now have control of my body once again. I drop on my knees, defeated by Nintendo's evil ports scheme.
"But I... I thought I could choose how to spend my money!" tears start dropping off my face. "Have I been lied to!?" I start crying. "HAS THE INTERNET LIED TO ME ONCE AGAIN!?"

But... before I can fully fall into despair, my phone rings, I take it out of my pocket and see I have received a new email. It's from Nintendo. I open it.
"Hope you still have money for Hyrule Warriors, *****."

Imma wait till Tekken 7 comes along. Seems more likely in my opinion.

Of course, getting Link as the Switch's guest character in Soul Calibur again would kick the other consoles ass.

The SC devs outright said it's not in development. That's a bit different than some fans not expecting Dark Souls, even after From was listed as a development partner. Which was a strange conclusion to draw, but whatever.

Yup:
- Kirby we saw in the Mini as well as Mario Tennis, both look good.
- Pikmin 4 is... somewhere.
- We still know nothing about FE16 other than it being a Switch game that is slated for this year. for all we know it's a Sci-fi FPS
- Yoshi we haven't seen since E3.
- Pokemon has a chance of making it this year (could easily be next year)
- Octopath Traveller is slated for this year.
- Travis Strikes back: No More Heroes is this year.
- There'll also be a lot of unannounced stuff, DLCs, third parties and indies too.

From that list I'm interested in all but Yoshi. That's a good year already before we get in to that last bit on the list.

Not wrong, but have a look at the full quote:

Motohiro Okubo said:
SoulCalibur VI development started more than three years ago. And nobody knew anything about Switch back then. So, as a matter of fact we are not working on Switch, as of now. But of course, personally, I’m interested in the platform. So if the Unreal Engine can adapt to Switch, and evolve itself, then maybe the possibility will be more.
Now this quote was received in mid-December, about half a month ago. Switch has been fully compatible with Unreal 4 since about mid-May. So there's at least some internal interest, and whatever they're waiting on, it ain't the tech specs.

Pretty sure at this point "never say never" still fits.

I think they've said that so far there are no plans for SoulCalibur VI coming to the Switch, since apparently they started working on the game long before the Switch was even announced.
http://www.siliconera.com/2017/12/20/soulcalibur-vi-producer-talks-chances-nintendo-switch-version/
Dark Souls Remastered is probably different because they might have been working on the Remaster around the time when the Switch was starting up.

Still, I'm pleasantly surprised by this Direct. Personal highlights for me are the TWEWY Final Mix, Kirby Star Allies, and Funky Freeze. SNK's new fighter looks pretty decent, and I'm hoping Nakoruru shows up again. It runs on KOFXIV's engine, so she'd probably be easy to bring back. Dark Souls Remastered also looks good, and maybe I might get it since Dark Souls III wasn't my cup of tea in the end.

And of course, typing these paragraphs led to me being :4greninja:'d.

All in all: R.I.P my conservative buying plans for most of this year.

Yeah it's not outside the realm of possibility, but at the present I don't see any reason to actively expect it. That reads much like a 'never say never' answer, which imo doesn't warrant a great deal of discussion.

And Namco is obviously behind the Switch, but I'm still not going to hold my breath. Should we see things like Tekken start to make their way over, that's a different story.

I mean aren't we still due some Tales game?

Sure. Ain't much else we can say about it yet, anyway.

But ain't nothing wrong with keeping the hope alive at this point either, y'know? Long as it's not impossible.

You're hair smells nice.

EDIT: I haven't drank water since yesterday.

A bud of mine says he can get me water in a half hour.

But man... I haven't been this dehydrated for a long time.
Irregardless, my hair smells amazing.
