Nintendo [ARCHIVED] Video Game • Page 175

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse is such a wasted opportunity. Not only do I not want to play with the stylus, but having to look at the low resolution screen in order to play effectively while it looks so good on the television is a tremendously wasted opportunity. Nintendo's "innovations" are so hit-or-miss.

 

nba playgrounds is coming out may 9th in EU so it's safe to assume the same date or earlier for NA

 

Nintendo toys in McDonald's happy meals right now haha

 

Dude, there is a McDonalds in the plaza I work in, and I'm legit going to get a happy meal every couple of days until I have the full set.

 

what are they? thought McDonalds stopped with the toys as of recently

 

Pretty awesome imo, excited to collect them lol.

 

yeah i definitely want those. wish there was a waluigi one, he's my fave haha

 

imagine the chaos if these had NFC chips in them...

 

that luigi looks so dumb

i must have him

 

Came in here to say this haha. Luigi looking weird as always.

 

Splatoon 1 sold around 5 million. That means two things:

1. Splatoon is a big fucking deal, way bigger than most think. The only PS4 exclusive that sold more than that is Uncharted 4, for comparison. In terms of sales it is a major franchise across all of video games.

2. Splatoon 2 will probably do worse in the short term (because of install bases) but maybe better in the long term. It will sell Switches.

 

I didn't think Splatoon is that big. Pretty cool.

I have no work on Friday and Sunday. More MK8 time!!

 

Nintendo results incoming. Things are looking good. They sold more Switches than anyone estimated.

 

Yeah I read about that. So happy. Pretty much the most excited I've been with a Nintendo console.

 

Splatoon is huge in Japan. It was the best selling Wii U game there, and almost everyone I see online has a Japanese name.

 

forgive me, but does the "shipping of units" actually mean sales, or is that stock to stores.

 

I read on a comment on reddit that it was units sold. But I need a better source as well haha

 

"The Nintendo Switch appears to be off to a strong start according to Nintendo’s new financial results. The console has shipped 2.74 million units as of March 31st – meaning that many units were sold to retailers for the console’s launch month.

Given that Switch consoles continue to be supply-constrained and difficult to find, it’s safe to assume that the numbers quoted in this morning’s report are pretty close to the number of consoles actually sold to customers."

Nintendo Switch beats estimates with 2.74m units shipped

More number in that article, including comparisons to Wii and WiiU.

 

ahh okay, that makes sense. thank you!

 

By the way, I want to add some friends since multiplayer games are now starting to happen: anyone wants to give me their friend code?

 

Is this legit?

EDIT: It is. ARMS is on the cover of EDGE magazine #306 - Nintendo Everything

 

Yeah. I'll update the original post later

 

With more codes?

 

I was really hoping they had gotten rid of friend codes but not because it's sort of dumb.

I just really wanted the chance to say, "where we're going we don't need codes."

 

Friend Codes (Switch)

It's also on the original post.
