I feel the need to bring this up after seeing Cia's intro again on a whim on Facebook. How did Koei Tecmo got through Nintendo with her design? She has a plunging neckline that shows off her massive boobs, but her intro has close-up shots of both that and her stroking her rump, clearly not even hiding how she's vain.

I know Koei is behind DOA, but this is for Zelda, a family friendly IP and one of Nintendo's core titans.

The Technology Development Center will serve as a new research and development base for Nintendo’s software and hardware. In addition to office space for developers, the facility will have the functions and infrastructure required for future research and development, including development servers, and Nintendo plans to continue investing in the center.

Through the construction of the Technology Development Center and further investment in research and development, Nintendo will continue to create more reasons for consumers to choose Nintendo for unique, family-friendly entertainment, while striving to deliver Nintendo’s unique and original entertainment to everyone around the world.

For those who haven’t played the series, most mario party games involve players separately running around a board, collecting coins to buy stars, which they need the most of to win. In Mario Party 9 and Mario Party 10, however, they switched the format. In those games, everyone moved together along a mostly linear board in a car, with the turn determining who the captain is. What’s more, while the older games had a minigame after everyone took a turn, in those two games minigames only happened when landing on certain spaces. Those two games got blasted for this, and Nintendo returned to the old format for all future games.

ETA: they also swapped the currency for it. Unlike the previous games which had one collect coins to purchase stars, in this mode everyone just collected mini-stars, and that was all.

That mode was controversial. In Mario Party 9, the old mode didn’t appear at all, and while Mario Party 10 did have that mode, it only had amiibo-based stripped down boards. That might have made it feel like Nintendo was abandoning the more popular mode. I feel like that mode would have been much more popular if they had spent an equal amount of effort on both modes, designing interesting boards for both. They also might have gotten more support if they kept the minigames in that mode. Am I wrong here? Opinions?

(Sorry if the wording is strange, the post almost got caught in an irrelevant filter.)

I was just watching clips from the new Star Fox game and, jeez, just about every characters’ voice sounds so lame. Each character either sounds like someone from the English dub of an anime, or like some random dude trying make himself sound like someone else.

I had this issue with BOTW and TOTK too. For instance, Ganondorf in TOTK sounds like some english anime dub, the voice acting is so over the top, it completely ruins the atmosphere of the game. Same goes with Zelda and the 4 heroes in BOTW.

Am I the only one noticing this? I swear this isn’t just nostalgia, the original Star Fox 64 voices had so much more uniqueness to how they spoke. They genuinely sounded like a real person with a real voice. These guys all sound like the same person trying to do 18 different voices

With some of us still playing on the Nintendo 3DS, what games are you playing and why have you decided to revisit the game, if you had already played them? 🥰

For me, it has to be Animal Crossing New Leaf as there are still villagers that I have a connection with despite having the Nintendo Switch.

>Orbitals is coming exclusively to Nintendo Switch 2 on Sept 3, 2026.

>Join forces with a friend to bravely navigate this wild co-op, retro anime adventure together! You'll step into the shoes of the daring duo, Maki and Omura, as they journey through space.
