VGChartz: "Nintendo earlier lowered its forecast of the Nintendo Switch for the current fiscal year ending March 31, 2019 from 20 million to 17 million.
The company has now revealed it has lowered its shipment forecast for the Nintendo 3DS during the same period from four million units worldwide to 2.6 million units."
NE: "Kirby's been on more than a handful of adventures, and we've gathered a list of 10 of the best Kirby games here."
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."
Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.
Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.
In my opinion, 17 million is still great for the Switch. Glad to see it doing well. It was inevitable though that 3DS would decline as people move on to the Switch as the go-to portable, as well as a home console. 3DS had a great run, but I really like having a true console quality system in the palm of my hands. (ok yes, not as powerful as the PS4 and XB1, but games do look great on the portable screen. I'm not much of a docked player as it is.)
Well, Nintendo is kind of killing it off with little to nothing new being developed and released for it. All signs point to the switch, so it makes sense for the attention from gamers to have shifted.
Nintendo in February 2018: “We will still be supporting the 3DS”
So. About that....
74 million not bad not great but hey at least its not nowhere near as bad as ps vita and i like the ps vita
