"Big" Nintendo announcement happening Monday

[CathyRina]

Nintendo will be charging 30€ for Minecraft? That's now even how currency exchange works...

That isn't news though. The game industry doesn't care how currency exchange works.

It isn't but game prices have gotten more accurate along the years.

yeah... I still have to pay 70€ for AAA releases, instead of 60$ and 400€ on launch PS4, instead of 400$.
Granted I don't have to pay taxes like the Americans do (since the Taxes are already inside the price) but I still have to pay more than Americans on average. Importing some games from Canada is legit cheaper than buying it in a local store on launch.

Portugal, Spain, France and UK typically have better pricing whereas Germany charges more than it should. Same goes for Australia.

I got a newsletter earlier, it was nothing new, just the same bollocks we already know about, adverts for the latest 'games'. If this Minecraft announcement really was it, then all I can say is that Nintendo and I have very different views on what does and does not constitute 'news'.

 

[CathyRina]

Yeah my today's Newsletter was the typical bollocks too.

 

[Ruby Gloom]

nope still waiting

Nintendo is secretly watching this thread to watch us get fired up.

 

[Saiyan Lusitano]

The Nintendo newsletter I received contains games out now for 3DS and Wii U. I'd dare to bet that the "big" announcement was unfortunately Minecraft.

 

[Imparasite]

Its a Trap LOL they meant next monday today ahaha

 

[weatMod]

I can't stand any of the FF games lol.

i can't stand any turn based "games"

still hoping the big news is federation force is canceled in favor a real metroid game

An indie guy said on a podcast that there would be big news today.
Minecraft for Wii U is a big thing for an indie guy.

If it would've been bigger, it would've been communicated through more official channels.

Oh, and I believe that most of the peeps here who say "what's fun about minecraft" or "it's a pile of shit" are just pretending to be too cool for something popular.

Except it's a genuine opinion? I personally cannot stand Minecraft, it's boring to me and seems really quite pointless. It's a disappointment that this was the announcement.

It's not about being "edgy" or "cool" but simply how people feel about it. Really, it's no big deal that Minecraft's on Wii U, because it's just yet another platform it's available on.

 

[romeoondaline]

is it honestly....sceptile?

 

[duffmmann]

Keep in mind that right now in Japan, it's already Tuesday. The news was definitely just Minecraft.
