"Super Mario 3D World, which was announced Tuesday during the Nintendo Direct at E3, includes a cast of familiar Mario characters we all know and love. Up to four players can play together or against one another as Mario, Luigi, Toad or Peach. However, one of those characters almost didn’t make the cut.
Director Koichi Hayashida revealed that Peach wasn’t originally going to be included in the game’s lineup. It was producer Yoshiaki Koizumi that suggested she be a playable character."
Nintendo Has Acquired Shiver Entertainment From Embracer Group
Great news it shows that Nintendo intends to continue developing ports of AAA games to its next gen platform
Buying studios from embracer now is a great deal, they must be dirt cheap at this point, Nintendo is a opportunist, they wait until someone fall so they get their best deal
I hope someone buys Piranha Bytes, their future isn't looking good right now. I love their RPGs, they're janky as f***, but they have heart and soul.
Nintendo saw the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port and were like, "Yeah, these guys are worth acquiring."
You can't make this crap up lol
Game developers have already started to confirm that they will support the Nintendo Switch 2 with their future titles.
Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."
The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.
Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
Glad that gamings most saved princess is helping her man Mario..lol.
But if Peach wasn't in the game there wouldn't be anyone to save, or even be kidnapped in the first place.
Mario wouldn't be able to go on an adventure.
Disappointed in this game. Don't get me wrong, it looks really fun, but this is kind of a step down from galaxy... I personally would have been happy with a sequel to galaxy, sunshine, or even 64. Not a Wii U version of Super Mario 3D Land.
I have a feeling that Wart from SMB2 will return.
Why is it that they have the Super Mario Bros 2 cast but Toad is blue...surely they would add the original red toad.
