Is there a single-player component or campaign to Splatoon? Not really a shooter person and didn’t have a WiiU for long enough but now that I’m getting a Switch, I’m pretty interested to check out Splatoon 2 with all the buzz

Don’t you DARE ruin dumplings for me like that!

Terry Crews would be absolutely amazing. He streamed his journey into becoming a PC gamer earlier last year, and that dude is a fucking delight

....that actually makes a lot of sense, I never thought of that for some reason

....yeah, they’re accessories. None of them are required

Not on consoles but for the few days I had a Wii U I liberally used the browser because it was great and it was great to watch Netflix on. The Switch is basically a tablet so it’s extremely natural to use a browser and watch videos on it so I hope they get it sooner rather than later.

By that logic the GameCube and the GBA were the absolute best thing to ever happen to Nintendo because clearly they were the reason the DS and Wii sold so well.

Yeah I dunno. I kinda feel like people just aren’t excited about it and you probably might be able to pin that directly on Bioware for not hyping it up and going through the standard marketing for it

The 3DS saw a 33% price drop because no one bought it, but it didn’t hit $125 (50% of the launch price) for a long while. The WiiU NEVER got a price cut despite it selling very poorly.

Do you think Yakuza Kiwami will be more heavily “connected” to Yakuza 0? I know Yakuza 0 is obviously a prequel, but since they made Yakuza Kiwami after 0, wonder if they made more overt connections between the 2, or if they’ll do the story recaps that covers 0.

Millions of units in two weeks is a bit of an overstatement, they sold 3 million in the first 6 weeks, and in the US sold 400k in the first week.

I’m still extremely surprised Andromeda is coming out in just over a month. It feels like it was just yesterday that we barely had ANY info on it.

Just because they preordered already doesn’t mean this isn’t information they want to know. Hell, just because they preordered doesn’t mean they’re even going to FULFILL the preorder, and their fulfillment of that preorder could be based on this information that’s not out yet.

Exactly. Jason’s been talking about VC from the day the Switch was announced on the podcast, so an interview with a bunch of answers stating “we can’t answer that right now” is definitely not a “positive” one

You do only get one launch, but when it comes down to it the vast majority of people buy your system AFTER launch and don’t necessarily care about how it was at launch. I just recently checked the DS’s launch slate and it is god awful yet it became the 2nd-best selling video game system of ALL TIME. 6% of the DS’s…

Thing is, most of the JRPGs on the Vita/PS4 aren’t even that technically demanding so they’d be really easy to port to Switch. 3DS gets a bunch of JRPGs anyways so the Switch is a natural fit

Might have to wait 4 years for that

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the casual killer app, since barely anyone had a WiiU and thus MK8 sales were low (I believe lowest in the MK series). So for a majority of casual players, MK8 Deluxe will be new to them despite being an enhanced port. Then you have Mario Odyssey later in the year

What? The WiiU doesn’t have any bearing on the success of the Wii at all. The reasons the WiiU failed don’t have anything to do with the Wii at all.

I would think that a combination of:
