OK it’s official, between Shovel Knight, Steamworld Dig 2, Golf Story, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, and this, I just can’t keep up with the Switch’s game release pace.

Oh. Okay.

I bet you just wanted to look under Princess Peach’s skirt.

Not all first party stuff though. The Nintendo Select stuff is rather limited.

True, while I don’t expect console games to get as low as Steam, at least I wish they would have more substantial deals sometimes. The most games on Nintendo platforms seem to get off is around 20% only.

Keep in mind that despite being a franchise where restaurants have to adhere to a common branding and certain basic common things, McDonald’s are actually very different in every country. Even the ingredients usually are local.

The Joycons lack the pointer capability that the Wii Remotes (in conjunction with the sensor bar) had.

To be honest, I still think I haven’t given Xenoblade Chronicles 1 enough chance. For one, I never played it past the first town, it simply didn’t “click” with me. I just stopped playing after some monster on a beach nearby killed me... and I didn’t pick it up again until it came out for the 3DS. Since I left my home…

As someone who loved Xenogears, but couldn’t get into Xenoblade Chronicles (and already starting to feel like a weirdo because of everyone praising it - out of the Wii JRPGs coming out in that period, I actually liked The Last Story way more), this review was exactly the right angle for me.

Not a lot, really.

Except this doesn’t look close to the kind of PS1 graphics that people were claiming “wouldn’t age well”.

Before I start reading this article,let me just say that I want a Chrono Trigger DS port for Switch.

I actually used the Keyboard/Keytar included with Rockband 3 in an actual band gig once, as a keytar. It is just a MIDI keyboard, no internal sounds, but it has a MIDI-Out that I connected to an actual synth. It was pretty usable/playable!

“Beautiful chinese traditional proverb” is kind of funny if that “proverb” was indeed coined by Mao Zedong.

The strange thing is that it is still no problem at all to buy the Famicom Classic and the NES Classic in Taiwan (at Guanghua Digital Plaza), for roughly 110-120 US Dollars (which, if you include the import costs from either Japan or the US, is what it cost in Taiwan anyway even when it was still offically produced).…

Yo momma.

I wanna see a time lapse of one of his works...

Do you have a copy of the contract?

Nintendo funded the development of the games, so they paid for the game. This is usual publisher business. Royalties are rare in videogame development. In fact, royalties are often used by publishers to press developers into accepting lower development costs along the lines of “we’ll pay less for development, but…

Honestly, if they covered the dev costs, that’s already not too bad and means that they did pay a “dime” for it. That’s the usual model really in game business.
