    Thanks. I've seen it on PS4 in the store. It looked alright to me (would have been amazing on the previous gen of consoles) but as you know looks can be deceiving. I'll be certainly adding it to my Switch Watch list. Of recent I have bought a few less than perfect games, on sale mind you and...

    No. But they did put out a statement, had a time of mourning and had a shrine at the NY store people could put things at. Reggie was cool and did a good job for Nintendo in the USA. However he was just a regional head and he only retired. He was not the international CEO who died while in...

    This is assuming Nintendo believe that is something Nintendo fans worldwide would care about. Do the European, UK, Japanese and Australian fans care about Reggie leaving?

    There is actually not that much shovelware in the eShop. There us also very little smart-phone like games there either. Also smartphone like is not the same as shovelware. Shovelware is: "software or online content that has been added to a CD or placed on the internet without having been...

    @Spirit I feel the already released highlights at the end were rather pointless. They only showcased older indies we already knew about. That would have been a good opportunity to showcase some lesser known older gems. That did not happen. I will say almost every great indie game I have on...

    Aquiring the extra costumes is broken though. In my area not enough people playing online to earn the costumes. I can't even get a single online match to get the characters early. The game is dead online, no one plays it online anymore.

    The WiiU hype was not there as much as the Switch. People liked the WiiU at launch but that's it. It was not "oh oh I must get this console". People liked the WiiU from a distance but nothing told them "you must buy this console" so many didn't. And many people never did. Even at it's...

    That's when you share the facts (not opinions) and let everyone make their own mind up on the facts. Not everyone can accept the truth unfortunately. I agree with you here. Nintendo is changing though. That's one thing no one can rightfully criticise Nintendo on. The issue here is the right...

    There is no need for people to criticise Nintendo for things they actually did not do wrong either. This is not directed at you. It's a general statement directed at everyone. The issue here is at times there is no agreement as to if something is a screw up or not. Some people will say it is...
