Nintendo's Share Value just surpassed the point last year when Pokemon Go launched
(And then dropped when they realised Go wasn't dev'd by Nintendo)



This is super good news as this is clearly a game system people want, and shows a lot of investor confidence
(Which means, theoretically, more games)

My little wishlist of games I'd like to see are
- Seiken Densetsu Collection ported to English speaking markets.
- Gundam Versus for that hot hot hot Virtua On mecha arena action

Bandai Namco are behind it, and are also putting out Dragonball Xenoverse 2 later in the year, so it's definitely got some port potential.

Everyone knows a high share point is only a sign that Nintendo is doomed.

Ubi is financially healthy, they make a lot of money from their games as service model according to Daniel Ahmad. That they're financially healthy is the reason Vivendi wants to buy them.

Seems like their entire Rabbids game is "the Murfy stuff" since you don't actually control any of the main characters

Yes, it's very enjoyable but not due to the story it's once you're grinding that it becomes fun to me.

I appreciate the information.


Nice! Thanks for the link. I am going to order one of the controllers and have it delivered while I am underway. I've been waiting on a Pro controller I ordered from Amazon but it's been lost in the mail for the past couple of weeks.

Got the controller working on Switch now. The update process is simple: after downloading and unpacking the zip, simply open the Win/Mac program and follow instructions. AKA set 8BitDo to update mode (hold power + pair for 3 seconds until yellow light starts pulsing), then connect via USB and click Update. After restarting the controller you set the controller to Switch mode by starting it by holding power + Y: when the blue light flashes four times in a row in steady sequence, simply pair the controller via Switch and it recognizes it as a Pro controller sans vibration. Switch power and share button are remapped to 8BitDo's power and pair button respectively.

Been playing some god drat ~GAROU~ to test the controller and it works perfectly.

Okay so after Rayman 1-3 being pretty good, funny action-platformers, I remember seeing info on a new Rayman 4 on the internet and in Nintendo Power, showed stuff like changing costumes and Rayman riding a giant spider, seemed pretty cool.

Then the more info that came out about the game the worse it seemed. Suddenly it was a rhythm game? Nono, now it's a mini-game collection, much like 80% of the lovely shovelware on the Wii, loving great. Then for almost an entire console generation, Rayman games were dumb mini-game collections featuring Rabbids, and eventually not even featuring Rayman at all. It's kinda like what Activision did to Spyro.

The only annoying thing with the 8BitDo is that if you want to go to sleep mode, you have to hold the newly bound Sleep button... which just happens to be the controller's power button. :v: Meaning if you hold it down the controller powers down and you have to restart it in Switch mode again.

I would be really really happy if Sunshine was available on the Switch as a VC game or as a HD remake.
Sunshine is legit and I never got the hate for it, aside from being peak collectathon gaming

If Vita got Afterbirth, then not a whole lot. If Vita was just Rebirth, then Afterbirth+ got a new Greed mode, a few new characters, a few new endbosses, a number of new level bosses, and hundreds of new items.
