Games and Game-Related old and new

Good luck to em, that rarely works out. They could try lowering the price of their handheld console after all these years, and the prices of their games.

Been a while since I checked in on the Nintendo eco system but if memory serves they hardly ever, if even, reduce or discount their games.

Nintendo are an outlier in that they don’t actively compete with Xbox, playstation or PC. They have their own niche carved out in the industry and deliver something the others don’t, so in a way they tend to act like a monopoly in and of themselves.

I think with the advent of the steam deck and the availability of emulators, they’re finally feeling the pinch. It probably wouldn’t be such a huge problem if they were a bit fairer with consumer practices.

That’s just me waffling having not properly looked into the situation, so if Ninty don’t really operate like this anymore do let me know :wink:

I really miss playing Zelda/Pokémon etc but I just can never justify the price of a Nintendo Switch.

Looking at the scope of Nintendo’s fishing expedition legal claim (which they wouldn’t stand a hope in Hell with in the UK), by making that statement in public, you’ve possibly just added your own name to the charges.

Cool, now that I have their attention…

Hey Nintendo, stop shutting down fan projects just as they near completion after years of dedication or, if you must continue this practice, give us a Chrono Trigger 2.5d remake already wouldja?

Sincerely,

Not the guy pirating your games.

Indeed. AM2R is still one of the best Metroid games, and the best Metroid game post-SNES. I will not tolerate debate on that second assertion!

Anyone else planning on playing Indiana Jones on the 9th?
I am currently replaying My Sims on Switch :rofl: What can I say? I am missing only 2 of the NMS expeditions on PS5 so nothing to do until the one that starts on the 25th
