Edit: I want to say that one of the leakers (Liam Robertson maybe?) hinted at a Metroid by Mercury Steaem at least a year ago if not more, before the final AM2R trailer was even announced and brought back into the spotlight.

People thinking Nintendo ripped off AM2R is a great take.:lol:

Pretty legit.

Also Grant Kirkhope of Banjo Kazooie fame did the music for Mario X Rabbids so there's that.

nintendo certainly does make good games

as does its competitors

this is good for the consumer as it allows him or her to make a choice, and adults like me use their disposable income to purchase multiple systems

cheerleading for a company is so weird to me!

I'm not cheerleading lol, I don't even have a Switch yet and I have a PS4 and a gaming PC. But complaining about sales potential instead of getting excited about games is a severely Games-like viral strain

Mario x Rabbids looks like they put in a huge amount of effort. Definitely impressed at how much design has gone into the area design.

nah i dont care about sales, the discussion went there because "goons don't know what niche is" and metriod is apparently a consistent box office hit

i don't have a switch either but I increasingly want one! i have a 3ds and want the big n to take it out to the back and shoot it for good

its time to Switch

While I'll give people that Mario Maker did probably take quite a lot of inspiration from the various Mario Romhacks and Level Editors from throughout the years, my favorite "They stole our idea!" was when Smash 4 had Skyloft and some people thought Sakurai personally stole that idea from Project M. Like the concept of a Skyloft flyover stage was so unique only one person could ever have thought it up.

I'm pretty sure any game developer would feel immense pride and possibly cry getting praised by Miyamoto

It looks like a solid as hell XCOM clone, I'm curious if the design and character customizability will be good enough to override the absence of emergent narrative stuff that I really enjoy in XCOM.

It's insane to me still. This leaked a few weeks back and everyone, including me, was like "lol this sounds like a horrible loving game who wants a mario/rabbids tactic shooter?" and then it comes at e3 and it's like "wow this game is actually best in show maybe???

Never played or seen an Xcom game. Apparently the closest thing I may have played is Codename Steam? So is it all based off of visibility, movement range, weapon range, and counterattacks if someone loves into your zone?
