That’s entirely possible. Nintendo is notorious for under supplying their releases. If the Console Wars book is to be believed, this is entirely intentional on Nintendo’s part.

It’s probably too early to call it a flop. Last season drove off a lot of viewers, so it’ll take some time to see if they come back now that Evans is gone. For instance, I didn’t even realize the new season had started until I read this article.

I’m curious to see how those numbers stack up compared to other launches, like the 3DS or the PS4.

With Nintendo knowing that space is at a premium, this seems incredibly short sighted on their part.

I wonder if we’ll see a higher number of Switch games sold than consoles sold, all so YouTubers can post their Switch game challenge videos.

The problem with waiting though is what if it creates another situation like the Wii U. The Wii U had a slow launch, which caused third party support to practically disappear. People waiting until a wider selection of games arrived were suddenly left with no incentive to buy in, which just created a spiral leading to…

Calling someone a cretin doesn’t seem to be the best approach to winning them to your side.

And now that we’ve cast a spotlight on this scene, it’s about time for Nintendo to step in and poop all over it.

Tearaway Unfolded isn’t a straight port of Tearaway. It’s altered some of the game mechanics to work better with the DS4 controller and expanded the story line in a few areas. I have both versions of the game and have enjoyed both of them.

Games with Gold lets you keep the games you get for free. With this, you’re basically paying a monthly fee to play the game for as long as you continue to pay the monthly fee. Plus, this is a whole library of games instead of just 1 or 2 per month.

That’s kind of the point of the video. Nintendo gets to pick and choose which parts of copyright law they follow, so why shouldn’t the go kart company? (I agree that this is justifiable copyright infringement on the part of the go kart company though)

The transfer show went over better in the office, where experienced Kotaku editors could properly assess that, yes indeed, that is damn impressive that you can pull the Switch from its TV holder and immediately have the game running on the screen that is now in your hands.

I’ve done a variant of the floor toss that’s more of a touch down celebration, where you spike the controller off the floor as hard as you can. I wouldn’t recommend it.

It would seem that you can tell what’s been changed since someone was able to identify that some splash screens and alterations were made to begin with. I guess the problem is figuring out exactly what needs to be changed or removed to undo the damage.

I guess it wouldn’t be a Nintendo launch if it didn’t have that “oh shit, I forgot we were going to sell this thing!” vibe to it. Virtual Console isn’t necessarily critical to Switch’s success, but it would go a long way to winning back the crowd. One of the problems with the Wii U was the lack of games, so having a…

As someone who suffers with a lot of anxiety, I can understand where you’re coming from. That you’re going with your wife will help, since going alone can be a bit overwhelming. Try not to worry though. If you aren’t dressed up, you’ll be practically invisible to the crowd. There’s also plenty of out of the way places…

I’m not thoroughly convinced that they’re a decent toy either. I bought the Halo Warthog, and it came with bricks that you used to stabilize it while you build it, but served no purpose for the final model. I appreciate the help, but if the model cannot hold itself together during construction, there’s a fundamental…

I was holding out hope that they’d release a “Good luck finishing the game now!” edition that included all the potential game pieces.

I avoid using the USPS as much as possible when it comes to packages now. For an item to reach my house via USPS, it goes through a rather odd route. The package is delivered to someone in my neighborhood, who in turn delivers it to the front door of the guy who lives two doors down from me. Then, either he delivers…

They’ve been making virtual pinball tables of all sorts of video game properties for years, so it’s not much of a stretch that they could do the same with a pachinko/slot machine.
