If its just developer relations its not really a big deal. If this was for indie titles I'd care a little more (thats been missing since the Snipperclips/Overcooked greenlighter moved on) but I just don't really see Nintendo buying western AAA exclusives.

Pokemon is jointly owned by Nintendo, Game Freak and Creatures. Game Freak is so tight with Nintendo, they operate out of one of Nintendo's buildings. Trying to argue Pokemon isn't Nintendo is an extremely autistic splitting of hairs.

They aren't just tight, Nintendo directly owns a large stake in Game Freak, which combines with their own direct ownership in Pokemon.

There's a fine line between "girly" and "for girls". I think anybody without hangups can play Peach games, but playing Barbie would be pretty faggy.

I'd say the same holds true about any game that panders to an immutable trait. Duke Nukem was fun because he went so far beyond a stereotype that he became a self-caricature. You didn't feel like your manliness was being pandered to, you felt like it was being fulfilled while also being parodied at the same time.

To put it another way, can you name an actually good game that can be summed up as "a bunch of random stuff that some middle aged men thought boys would like"? Probably not, and if so then it's probably good ironically and/or accidentally. Because any game that ticks boxes rather than concerning itself with being fun is always going to suck.

Sonic the Hedgehog? (Or, really, anything with Sega of America influence at all) Yokai Watch? Anything with dinosaurs?

Its actually Genius Sonority that Nintendo owns a stake in, not Game Freak. Game Freak, Creatures, and Nintendo all own one-third of the Pokémon Company, which manages the Pokémon brand.

Gio Corsi was in charge of 3rd party relations and also overseeing the internal Japanese studios of Sony Computer Entertainment before Jim Ryan fucked it all up.
He was a big supporter (and probably the sole american executive in doing so) of the Playstation Vita, and he is also known for convincing Sega to give the Yakuza franchise another chance in the western market after Dead Souls.

It's just another instance of talent drain at Sony with Nintendo simply reaping the rewards

It took me almost a few years, but this upcoming week, I’m actually buying this for the Nintendo Switch. I remember seeing this made in Japan for the PS3, but the fact that they decided to put this on the Switch is a nice touch.

Plus, I needed to increase Switch collection with some good games, so this will be the first of a few fighting games that I want to try out on there.

Sure they don’t technically own the franchise, but the other spinoff games are there and as far as I can tell there’s no plan to release a red/blue/yellow or gold/silver collection for sale so is there some obvious reason I’m overlooking?
Click to expand...
They technically remade Red/Blue/Yellow as that was what Let’s Go Pikachu & Evee was.

Personally, I am waiting on DK64. I am genuinely shocked it is not on Switch online. I would claim it is a rights issue with Rare, but now both Goldeneye and Banjo Kazooie are on the subscription, so what gives? Also, we need the original Smash Bros.

Nintendo won’t be attending Gamescom 2024​

people are saying this is pointing to a pretty barren year for Ninty, since they love doing hands-on demos. But they could also be afraid of more leaks, as what happened during Gamescom last year.
Click to expand...
Is it really that surprising this year will be barren. Nintendo is probably taking a year off to set up for Switch 2, just like they did for Wii and Wii U. At best, we will probably get 1 or 2 remakes/smaller titles, to fill out the 2nd half, announced in June. I guess place your bets on what else the Switch gets.

I have a weird gut feeling we are in for another 3DS remake to come alongside Luigi's Mansion 2 and Pokémon X&Y this year. I would place bets on either Fire Emblem Awakening or Kid Icarus Uprising making their way onto Switch. They feel the most deserving.

I can also weirdly see a GC game making it. We have pretty limited options currently, but Prime 2, a Zelda duel pack of Wind Waker & Twilight from Wii U, or something strange like Chibi-Robo could be released. The Wii, DS and GBA have all gotten niche IP comebacks, so GC seems left out.

I hope if they ever port TPHD in the future that they go back and fix all the stuff they broke. TPHD is missing all the Gamecube/Wii EFB (embedded frame buffer) effects, that means any sort of blur or distortion is gone. They still hardcoded in blurs for cutscenes using a hardcoded depth but in gameplay they are missing, it makes the water look terrible and basically any heat haze is just missing. Bloom is also scaled incorrectly to the higher resolution (a common issue in these HD ports, Halo MCC has this problem).

And funniest of all, the audio on the title screen for the horse is flipped because its part of the music and the port is based on the Wii version, which is mirrored. TPHD unmirrored it but they didn't use the Gamecube version of the title screen music so the horse sound is backwards

My totally impossible wish is that they return the vastly superior GCN visual style in WW but keep the Wii U QoL improvements.

You do know TTYD is getting a remake next month, right? And last year we got a Gamecube remaster + two ports. And we’ll definitely get Prime 2 Remastered early next year at the latest, but they could shadow-drop it next Direct and I wouldn’t be surprised.

Whats the best farming sim currently available for the Switch? Ive been through some emulated Harvest Moons recently but id like something more modern to try.

Stardew Valley didnt do it for me... Maybe it's the setting, or the art style, but it just doesnt draw me in as many chances as ive given it

Do you care about actually farming or do you just want a pretty farm with lots of crops growing and underlings tending them?

If the former, they all suck, if the later, Dragon Quest Builders 2, though you'll have to slog through 40 hours of pretty enjoyable Minecraft meets Dragon Quest to get it.
