I'm waiting for a bit before buying it, but it has been at the top of the UK eShop charts for a while now, seemingly since launch. It seems to have done well everywhere!
I'm really hoping the Detective Pikachu film wasn't a one-off. Then again, I'm doubtful Illumination will make a good Mario movie, even if Miyamoto is overseeing production. 😞
@Ralizah For me, at least, it doesn't bother me when I have to change a cartridge to play something else. I have some digital games so I completely understand and appreciate the convwnience, but, as I said above, I like getting something for my money.
As long as I can use my amiibo card to bring Al to my town, I'm happy. He's one of the only villagers I genuinly felt upset about leaving so when amiibo compatibility was added to New Leaf, he was the villager I brought over. https://i.postimg.cc/qvmZtVKt/Al.png
Possibly the original Luigi's Mansion on 3DS, the new LEGO Speed Champions expansion for Forza Horizon 4 and hopefully some Splatoon 2 Splatfest action!
@JHDK I understand your point, but most people expected tbis to release in November or December so a delay of 3 or 4 months isn't too bad for me. Sure, we've all worked hard to meet deadlines, but does anyone here work in making large video games that are constantly changing with different requirements? I don't have any experience in the industry, but I'd have thought video games were more difficult to put deadlines on than other fields of work.
@JHDK With all the stuff coming out this year, a delay was inevitable. And do you really want the Animal Crossing devs crunching for a few months just so you can play a game a few months earlier?
Most of these leaks (while clearly just for fun) have no chance of fooling anyone and I don't see the purpose of creating a leak that just says "nintendos e3 features nintendo games". It seems like a waste of time, but each to his own, I suppose...
This confirms that Luigi's Mansion 3 is definitely getting a full reveal next Tuesday then! I keep telling myself that I will go to E3 one year, but getting to LA is more of an inconvenience than I'd hoped.
Welcome @Ziondood! So far I have enjoyed all your videos, as well as the joint ones with @AlexOlney! I hope to see and enjoy more of your videos in the future!
Somehow this is one of my most played 3DS games (16th I think), so I can't wait for some gameplay of this! I'm expecting it to be a winter 2020 release, so I expect some footage later this year or early next year. I don't think they'll wait until June to show this.
@Timsworld2 Smash isn't just made by Sakurai - there was probably a social team who didn't think to remove Miiverse links when the service was shut down. Even if there wasn't a social team, the developers would have had bigger things to deal eith, bug fixes, character buffs and nerfs, etc. "Flipping him the middle finger" doesn't sound right to me.
@Timsworld2 Can we not insult game developers please? All developers work very hard - they wouldn't be in the industry if they didn't have a love for it - and Sakurai especially works unhealthily hard on Smash. Calling him incompetent for what he has done for the games he makes is a little harsh, don't you agree?
@Anti-Matter Please, please don't take this the wrong way, but some people are getting tired of you consistently bashing the PS4. We know you hate it, we know you regret buying it, we know you only like a few games on it. Would you consider lowering the amount of hatred that you show towards the console, because as I said above, some people are starting to get annoyed with it. Thanks.
For me this weekend, it's: Yoshi's Crafted World, Nintendo LABO Toy Con 04 - VR Kit and Kingdom Hearts 3 which I've been wanting to play for a while. Sure, it's not on Switch, but if it was, I'd buy it again!
@electrogeist Let's not start insulting people, please. You are always allowed your opinion that VR shouldn't exist, but others can also always have their opinion that VR should exist.
@Banemus Can we please stop arguing with other users please? What @shaneoh meant by "haven't found a niche I can fill" is that if there are 50 electricians in your town, everyone will already have a favourite electrician and so becoming the 51st electrician means people won't choose you as they have no experience with your work.
Starting a larger business isn't as easy as just asking for money, either. Clients aren't going to pay you unless you have a proof of concept, which takes time and money to develop and produce.
Not all of the employees at Epic will wan't to complain for fear of losing their jobs and not earning any money at all to support themselves.
What I am trying to say is that it isn't easy to just quit your job and find a new one - that will take time whilst you're on a limited budget, so please can we try and end this argument here? Thanks.
Related to the article, crunch happens at most major studios, but normally only in the few weeks up to release or before a major expansion releases. Permanently crunching on a game for minor updates and to keep your game alive isn't good, and will probably sacrifice some of the quality these new features would have received if they had the time. From my own personal experience, this game's popularity is decreasing, so Epic should relax the pressure on employees and work on some features for longer and sllow staff to feel comfortable taking breaks.
@Medic_alert I don't know how NL do reviews. Maybe they wait for a free physical copy from the developer, or maybe they haven't been sent a review code yet.

Of all places they could've chosen, why Tel Aviv? From a selfish perspective, London would've been a lot better, or any major UK city really.

I doubt this'll get a firm release date until the next Direct even if NLG told Nintendo a date tomorrow.

If I do end up getting this, it'll be physical. It's cheaper, and I like getting something physical for my purchases.

@JHDK I really can't tell if you're being serious or not.
Re: Feature: Playtonic On Switch, Yooka-Laylee And Standing On Its Own Two Feet
The game looks promising and the fact it doesn't have a limited quantity physical release entices me even more.

There's no way this'll be more than a few minutes. I'd also expect a final push for Mario Maker tbh.

@waluigifan1 Because some people (like me) actually enjoy the games?

Anyway, I'll be playing Forza Horizon 3 or 4, maybe Kingdom Hearts 3, Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Re: Fortnite Developers Discuss The Constant Crunch Required To Maintain The Game
@akash8899 Don't advertise please.
Related to the article, crunch happens at most major studios, but normally only in the few weeks up to release or before a major expansion releases. Permanently crunching on a game for minor updates and to keep your game alive isn't good, and will probably sacrifice some of the quality these new features would have received if they had the time.
From my own personal experience, this game's popularity is decreasing, so Epic should relax the pressure on employees and work on some features for longer and sllow staff to feel comfortable taking breaks.
