Hell if you think that's bad, remember when the creator of the Game Boy flopped with the Virtual Boy and Nintendo assassinated him by hitting him with a car

He said something kinda negative about Nintendo right? Like he didn't leak anything he just said yeah we're not localizing that but we should but that's just the way Nintendo operates then got fired like an hour after the podcast was released

Nice, the devs just confirmed to me in a Reddit AMA that the Switch version of Immortal Redneck features gyro controls with lots of tweakable sensitivity options and that it's their preferred way of playing the game -- hadn't seen any reviews mentioning that so it's good to know. Really excited for this to unlock at noon

A former Nintendo employee says he was fired from the company after appearing on a podcast where he spoke openly, and perhaps indelicately, about the company's products and localization efforts.

Chris Pranger, who worked in Nintendo's Treehouse localization group, appeared on the Part-Time Gamers podcast earlier this month where his frank comments garnered attention on sites like NintendoLife and the NeoGAF forum.


I remember listening to that podcast and thinking it was really candid and interesting, but also that there was no way he wasn't getting sacked afterwards.

It's always weird to me when someone commits career suicide by doing something like this, like surely you know the company you work for would not be cool with it.

If you want to have that candid discussion, best to get approval and then let the company sign-off on the podcast being released so no fingers are stepped on.
But then I guess it wouldn't be a candid discussion :v:

I know this going to sound really ignorant, but I haven't had a console prior to the Switch since Wii/360 (not counting New 3DS but still). What sort of game is Monster Hunter? I know it's super popular, but I have no idea what it's actually about.

<3 just playing.

I see in the reddit thread that Immortal Redneck is 540p handheld, 800p docked, runs at 30. Simplified lighting. I mean, if the only non-ugly way to play this is docked then I might as well get it on PS4, right?

Too bad, I love getting games on Switch.

Yup. Capcom knows that the potential audience in the West is bigger now thanks to world. With that comes a new group of hardcore players who can't get enough of the game, so this could push them to picking this up.

Ever played Dark Souls? It has similar combat, but the gameplay loop is really different. It's basically nothing but bossfights, you hunt monsters then use their parts to craft better equipment so you can hunt bigger monsters, and so on.

You can solo it or play coop with up to 4 players. It's pretty good if you like challenging combat.
