The DanMan Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Bowser may invade kingdoms and kidnap princesses, but that doesn't mean he isn't a concerned parent. ...Bowser's phone background is of Peach. I'm not sure what to think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locke087 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) The Nintendo website keeps updating with dates so here's some new release dates for some reason. Dragon quest 8 3DS is coming out the 20th of this month. Poochy and Yoshi's woolly world is coming out on the switch launch date for 3DS (March 3) The Wii U version of Zelda has been confirmed for same day launch as well. Obviously these could change but for now this what Nintendo's website says. Edited January 13, 2017 by Locke087 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locke087 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) So bad news apparently that one free NES or SNES game you get a month you only get for that month and then you will no longer own it even if you are a subscriber. http://www.polygon.com/platform/amp/2017/1/13/14266290/nintendo-switch-monthly-games-not-free Edited January 13, 2017 by Locke087 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Emblem Fan Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 ...Bowser's phone background is of Peach. I'm not sure what to think. I pointed that out earlier. Bah, of course the special editions for BotW are sold out...Nintendo never has enough stock for these things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Bah, of course the special editions for BotW are sold out...Nintendo never has enough stock for these things. And of course, eBay scalpers stole them too. Such bullshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moblin Major General Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 And of course, eBay scalpers stole them too. Such bullshit. That should be illegal. Granted, I'm not exactly pro-capitalist, but that's for another thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you paid like $6/mo for a "Nintendo Plus" online account, that got you access to discounts and a free game per month, Like Playstation offers with their Playstation Plus, well... i figured this kind of package would exist tbh.

You do know that both Xbox and PlayStation give away multiple free games every month both Indy and AAA and it lets you keep them as long as you're subscribed to their service. While Nintendo's is not only giving away just one VC game from NES & SNES but you can't even keep it if you're still subscribed. Basically what I'm saying is you're getting royally ripped off if Nintendo's price isn't significantly lower than Xbox and PlayStation's.

Okay, fair enough. Here's what they do: Sony: Elie already described it well enough. Microsoft: What Elie described, except (as I understand it), you get a free, preselected 360 game every month that's yours to keep forever. Both of these consoles also have continuity. Nintendo is the only publisher that charges you for the exact same games (VC games, mind you) and doesn't have some sort of persistent account like Microsoft and Sony do.

To elaborate, this means that if you buy an Xbox360 and a game for it, then if you get an XboxOne, the game transfers up to the Xbone for free, because it was purchased by you. They're selling the game, not the game for a system, if that makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The DanMan Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 some times I wonder if nintendo actively wants to fail Because I do not know how anyone would look at this and think they have a shot at success I'm expecting a bit of a price cut and a 3DS-esque resurgence once the good games start coming out in 2018-- a resurgence that hopefully won't go away due to the Switch being their primary focus. To elaborate, this means that if you buy an Xbox360 and a game for it, then if you get an XboxOne, the game transfers up to the Xbone for free, because it was purchased by you. They're selling the game, not the game for a system, if that makes sense. To corroborate, Lost Odyssey was a free download during the last week of 2016; a Xbox 360 game that can be downloaded on both the 360 and Xbox One. If you only downloaded it on one, it's free-- period. I have it loaded on my Xbox One and could get it on my 360 if I wanted to, without a penny spent.

Radiant head Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 iirc that's what happened with the 3ds, the price cut to 150 after a year or so and it was a success despite a shaky launch still though why does it look like they're not even trying to get the launch right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carefreejules Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) Nintendo of America's Twitter just tweeted out a list of the games that are expected to be released this year! https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/819999478577057793 I don't see Fire Emblem Warriors on there so it looks like it's probably going to come out next year? Unless they're keeping it hush hush until the 18th to reveal the launch date for it. Edited January 13, 2017 by carefreejules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) Man, that's a small launch line-up if that's all we're getting on March 3. I mean, Zelda is AWESOME, but still. Edited January 13, 2017 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a Sampling First & Third Party Releases Sampling I'm stoked for I Am Setsuna...though I just bought it on Steam. I can't believe it's hitting a Nintendo port.

Thane Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 It is a Sampling It's still a bit discouraging to not see Fire Emblem Warriors there though. Considering there was a teaser for it during the presentation, Nintendo obviously values it highly, so if it had been released this year, I'm sure they would've put it there. Of course, it's better that they don't rush the game, obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locke087 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Xenoblade chronicles 2 getting a English release in 2017? Man is Nintendo finally localizing games at the same time in it's more niche series, mabye this means will get the next Fire Emblem at the same time! If it actually releases year I'll be impressed and pick it up between this Mario and Zelda will make this a good year. I now officially want more games than I can possibly purchase...
