Crossover game slated for this year

That’ll be something to see. I’m excited to hear further on this, so all the more reason to hold off on upgrading to the New 3DS at this point.

I’m quite confident the Switch will do quite well. Nintendo is going in the right direction with it.

That’s actually pretty stupid, imo, I mean why make the Switch a Hybrid consoile portable, if you’re going to have another portable to compete with it? Then again, That’s just me.

You know if the Switch really takes off, Nintendo could have a game Ecosystem that could last decades. Think about it. All they would need to do is update the handheld portion of the console with upgraded specs every 5ish years. Have the upgraded tech use the docking station / controllers they already have. For example, I give my original Switch to my nephew, and all he has to do is buy a docking station for it, and I put my new upgraded tech into the docking station I already have.

The article has the line about the new handheld might just be a Switch slim, basically a smaller Switch that is more child proof. Depends on how well the Switch does. I assume if the Switch does poorly, they’ll just do a 3rd gen 3DS.

I remember a couple years ago when I played the first Dark Souls I didn’t know you could target enemies so I ended up deleting the game lol. A few weeks later a friend of mine told me about targeting so I re-downloaded the game and good God was it so much easier for me lolol.

Slow… I must take time aside to say thank you not just because you’re awesome and all but also for the fact that you just shared news about an upcoming game that in my opinion is one of the greatest art styles a game has ever had. Ni No Kuni has an art style based off of the Hayao Miyazaki movies & now there’s going to be a 2nd game. I don’t think Studio Ghibli had a direct hand in the animation but more of an advising role or at least that’s what I understood about the first game. Now I must go change my pants.
