There was no line. The "waiting room" you saw was literally a line of code that autorefreshed the page every 30 seconds. No one has been able to place an order.
Kids are the main audience of the series but not the sole one. It's not that much different from other properties like Kingdom Hearts, Digimon, Transformers, Harry Potter, Yugioh, Star Wars, Dragon Ball, Marvel & DC etc. Part of the reason why those franchises became as big as they did is because they appealed to so many different demographics. Paying customers are allowed to complain if they find certain aspects lacking. Even children have certain dislikes and don't blindly love everything about the entertainment they enjoy. They're just not as vocal as adults due to various reasons.
That's not always the case though. Take Tokyo Mirage Sessions for an example. It was clearly only ever going to appeal to a very small audience, but it released for $60 and bombed. They ported it to the Switch four years later for the exact same price and it bombed again. Consumers didn't tell them it was worth full price, Nintendo/Atlus felt it was worth that much. It's not that unusual to see series with limited appeal released for the same price as bestselling series such as Pokémon, Halo or Call of Duty.
And if they didn't announce it, everyone who missed it would complain.
I still remember when Katamari Damacy came out at $20 on the PS2 because the publisher thought it was "too Japanese-quirky" for Western audiences, and yet it became huge over here. Then they ported it to the Switch and didn't increase the price.
The remaster for Katamari Damacy is $30, not $20.
Okay. I bought a physical copy, but still best money I've spent on my Switch.
Dude that sucks. So the cart itself is dead?
Was just about to post this. Now I got 3 free games for the Arcade Stadium. I may consider buying some others if they ever go on sale.
s with the work you're doing. You'll probably get bullied by the cat at times while trying to clean up. Here's the video of that demo.
Does Nintendo give out enough Platform Points to get all the icon stuff? Do points from the mobile games work with these, or are they only usable for rewards for their respective games?
Yes, for me generally the weekly missions that auto complete more than cover the icon stuff i want to buy. Theres only one pool of platinum. Some mobile games can earn you plat points but also have distinct token currencies.
The NSO app shows you the missions you can complete to get Silver Points, plus whatever's on the My Nintendo site. I've had 1500 points or so for a long time.
So neither of you have been getting all the icons, then.
Of course not, as I don't give a shit about most of the random stuff they've been putting in there. Plus the fact that you need three parts to purchase to put together for an icon over and over again for each combo you want to make is just dumb instead of offering complete. I was going to check to see what's on there at the moment, but NSO is down for maintenance and that renders them inaccessible even with it being well buried in there. You might be able to get everything for free, but it's such tedious micromanaging that I lost interest pretty quickly.
Sorry, I just now got y'all's responses. I bought it digitally, day one, and this is my first playthrough since I finished my first 300+ hour playthrough years ago. And to answer ShadowySea, I saved on Route 18, outside the Inverse Battle house (trying to get a Shiny Stone to finally evolve my Florges on my team). I took that as a sign to play something else for a while. May fire up Mario Odyssey after work tonight.
According to PSPrices, Waku Waku Sweets has never gone on sale before now.
This is sad, sad news. Colon cancer has been hitting people younger and younger recently. Get your colonoscopy at 40 folks, and get it in your 30's if you have a family history.
ing get advanced wars reboot already?
There's also apparently some sort of shareholders meeting either on that day or the day after, plus like 90% of general directs are in the first half of the month, so it's pretty unlikely they'd do it that day. For me it's either this week or bust for June, if not this week then none this month, don't think they'd do next week as they have Fire Emblem Warriors and they don't like to overshadow their new releases with a direct right before their release
Haven't they reported on the Smash "Grinch leak", Zelda and DK shows, Switch Pro, and just recently the Banjo at the Xbox showcase rumor? Among plenty of others, they kind of just piggyback off of people with these things from what I've seen
Checked the channel to make sure I wasn't remembering wrong. I'll give you the grinch one. But they have a video about a Zelda TV show and an animated Donkey Kong thing, and neither ended up happening. They have multiple Switch Pro videos as far back as 3 years ago, and they specifically make claims about it that wouldn't have just been from a new SKU. Then why report on it in the first place? Or any other non Nintendo news for that matter? They can't verify it if they wouldn't have info about non Nintendo things. Point is they report on plenty of things that don't actually end up happening, so I wouldn't take their word more as evidence than any other channel
