Hey Poor Player's Francis DiPersio writes - "All signs seem to point to Nintendo’s next piece of hardware, currently known as the Nintendo NX, releasing later this year. While there are plenty of people who would agree that the time is right for Nintendo to shift their focus from the foundering Wii U, which has struggled to keep pace with the competition from the Sony PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Xbox One despite its year-long head start this console generation, recent language from Nintendo President Tatsumi Kimishima has me worried that the longtime console manufacturer could be doomed to repeat the same mistakes as its recent predecessors."
Super Mario Odyssey was the Nintendo Switch’s debut for the franchise, and we saw our red-hatted friend don a new piece of gear that doubled as his new sidekick, Cappy. With so many characters getting some prominent screen time, Luigi felt completely uninvited to this party. That’s why we can’t help but think that Nintendo has something special cooked up for him in Super Mario Odyssey 2.
Games Asylum: "Well, this is uncanny. This school management sim bears a startling resemblance to Two Point Campus, especially when it comes to planning and decorating rooms. Be sure to add a window and a radiator, along with a plant or rubbish bin. Indeed, certain aspects are almost identical – it’s just like revisiting Two Point Campus, only something is…off. It’s the visual style that leads to the uncanny valley feeling, using a low-poly PlayStation/Saturn aesthetic. An odd choice, considering the 32-bit consoles didn’t have a great amount of management sims. The PS1 did have Theme Hospital though – with Two Point Hospital being Campus’ predecessor, so we guess we can give it a pass on its artistic intent."
I almost bought this yesterday lol. Then I remembered I have 1000 games I need to play and I would probably touch this once.
Tokyo Xanadu eX+ has launched on Switch and includes a large helping of new content, including new characters and bosses.
This one is always for sale on PS4 and I never got around to get it, is it any good?
Agreed. I really like the Classic Controller for the Wii U - wish they'd go with a controller like that for the next system.
Wait, you want games too?
I like a lot of the second- and third-year Wii u games, and that's what those are mostly -- games first. Sm3dw, Mario kart, bayonetta... And 2015 was an astounding year for the Wii u. Let's just hope Nintendo understands what people really like about their games.
Do you know what we need? Real articles that understand the difference between features and gimmicks.
Star Fox was the first game to have rumble. Was that a gimmick? Zelda had a save feature, was that a gimmick? Kirby Canvas Curse used the touch screen, was that a gimmick?
Features that are used in games are not gimmicks. Thank god Nintendo ignores articles like this and the people on this site.
A Metroid or Zelda NX bundle would sell amazingly.
