Gonna need a source on that.
Eh, I feel like there's a middle ground here:
For a foreign game, heck for a domestic game, Skyrim posted an impressive entry in the Japanese sales charts, debuting at number four and selling 75,865 copies. That's the PS3 version. The Xbox 360 version sold another 37,037 copies.
Coming in at third on the sales chart was Super Mario 3D Land at 89,743 copies, Mario Kart 7 at 183,834 copies, and Monster Hunter 3G at 521,959 copies. Skyrim is in good company.
1. Monster Strike (3DS) – 425,268
2. Monster Hunter X (3DS) – 159,806 (2,267,916)
3. Fallout 4 (PS4) – 121,099
4. Yo-Kai Watch Busters: Red Cat Team/White Dog Squad (3DS) – 99,190 (1,860,532)
They clearly like it and Fallout, but the point of the comment, that Skyrim is way down on the list of properties you'd want as your opening push to appeal to a Japanese audience, isn't without merit. Especially with Skyrim in 2016.
Any video producer should know better. Very amateurish.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
I've found a lot of the video stuff on streams incredibly amateurish and lazy. Playing Youtube videos of their own content during the anniversary stream rather than downloading sources and thus not having ads come out of nowhere was peak shit. I'd expect this from a group of new 20 somethings, but not people that have worked in the video content industry for years.
What exactly has knocked out the NX stream audio? Playing the stupid Pika song over and over again or something else?
The new camera manages to be worse than the old one as well.
It's probably the song used in the Switch reveal trailer. Audio is fine at the beginning of the stream, but mutes little before the crew starts watching the video, and I don't think they played any music of their own after switching from the "stream starting soon" screen to the couch cam.

Shame the audio got removed but there's still almost an hour of reactions after the initial viewing of the trailer so the video isn't completely pointless.

The play the trailer again later in the video and it isn't muted.

It's substantially more complicated to do a double recording setup, chill out fellas.
BUT! Any chance a watching ally was recording the stream on the viewer end? Might make sense in the context of these big events where copyright goes wrong...

Those "strategies" make no sense for a game like Splatoon. It's far too dynamic to have a planned play by play.

Man if the release date holds for RDR you'll have a Persona 5 vs Red dead redemption 2 vs Zelda battle between Ben, Jones, and Damiani for GOTY. That could get fierce.

Started up the reveal stream:
lol, camera is blurry as hell. Ian, we need you bruh
Muting is annoying, but the discussion afterwards is what I wanted, and that is unencumbered. So we're cool, twitch.

The tablet is thick enough to accommodate a substantial battery, but that depends on whether they cheap out or not.
So what? These videos are being flagged by bots, and the guys were saying different things at different parts of the video, at different volumes. The bot just couldn't recognise the song the second time because of their vocal interference.
Its really not. Using XSplit, you can just tick a local recording box and away it goes. I usually keep the videos for a couple of weeks just in case. Hell, using http://restream.io I even stream on multiple services at once, which could be used and not promoted to do a backup on other sites.

Imagine if their reactions to the E3 2015 reveals were muted, because of shit like this, and there was no backup or anything. Just think about that. "Sorry, Twitch muted the audio" is not going to cut it.
I know I'm going to sound like an entitled asshole, but I'm still pissed. This is just unacceptable. I understand that this copyright nonsense is not in their control, but I wish they'd at least properly record and archive their streams for significant reveals like this.

I watched that the other day for the first time. It's weird seeing one of the Easy Allies being genuinely agitated, borderline hostile, to another.

I still remember the first time seeing Huber truly agitated (well, as agitated as Huber can be) by Bosman and co. during his RE4 playthrough stream and they still joke about it a year later.

You're going to have to elaborate on that please. I demand links and explanations. I need to see a side of Huber I've never seen before.
I don't know what "easily offended" has to do with anything. I'm used to the guys busting each other's balls now and then, especially when Bosman is involved, but based on his tone and body language, Brad does come across as legitimately annoyed in that clip. If that's an act then it's a very good one.
I believe there was not.

Miyazaki's talking about the worldwide market, not Japan. Oblivion did decently in Japan (70k on 360, 50k on PS3) but a hit or big presence? No.
The muting during the Switch reveal was pretty frustrating but otherwise I thought both reveal streams were pretty good.
Gotta say, while the Switch is exactly what I wanted from Nintendo, that's one a terrible name. Maybe it'll grow on me but right now I seem to blank every time I try to think of it.

Huber is playing one of the harder parts of RE4 and is all stone faced while Kyle and Brad are making their terrible Adam Sandler impressions on the backround. Kyle says the ''Does anybody have any quarters?'' line that became an inside joke for them later and Huber replies something like ''You are not helping Kyle!'' all serious. They immediately laugh about it afterwards but it was such a funny little moment comparing to the hours and hours of stream before it where Huber isn't rattled by anything.

i dunno, i expected mixed reactions from the ezas, but it seems the switch reveal was positive for them. for me, i'm not in. which is different than "i'm out"

it doesn't look like the switch in "console form" will be a "bonafide beefcake" since nintendo said the dock does nothing. oh well

I guess you have never watched them playing D&D? Especially in GT days. I thought there was quite a bit drama, but to me it's all part of the show. It's them being themselves, I don't think it's uncommon or significant that even friends can snap at each other sometime. Even more when they work together. With EZA they don't spend as much time together than in GT days though, since they don't share an office. But it's all good, it's allright to show emotions.
Really unfortunate that the NX reveal stream was partly muted, I watched it live on Twitch though. But let's all remember that they don't owe us to record their streams separately besides twitch archive, reaction streaming itself isn't even on their Patreon promises. I can understand people criticizing when something promised isn't met. But this reaction stream was just a bonus. I'm glad they got together. And it's okay to be bummed if you missed it because of the muting, but let's not get angry when they made the effort to group stream on a quite short notice even. And it was what, 7 minutes in a hour long video that's missing?

Here's a link. Timestamp should be at 6:27:12. It starts a bit early just to give you the context of the stress Huber's under before Brad and Kyle quietly start up the Sandler voices

It's a very sleak looking machine but they need to show the games for me to ''get hyped''. That said I fully recognize this reveal wasn't for that.
If there is indeed truth that we won't see any big game reveals for the system this year it would be pretty lame. Mario looks good from what little they show but there isn't much to see exactly. Like they said, is that town just a backdrop for something linear or is it more open design (I'm fine with either approach as long as it's good).
I'm also not too bothered about the lack of horsepower. If I get one it isn't to replace my PS4 or PC, it's to replace my Vita assuming the game releases dry out next year while NS hits the pedal. I've been done with my 3DS for years already and at least this time I see the hardware not feeling ancient after a few years, thank god.

Thanks a lot. That was positively tame in comparison to Brad losing his rag with Kyle on the subject of favourite animals.
Still really funny though. Kyle does a mean Little Nicky.
Haha exactly! I was mostly thinking about them when I remembered Tabletop Adventures.
Wow, he probably filmed that a year to the day.
The promise of bringing together Nintendos console and handheld development teams and releasing it all on one platform is a good enough prospect for me.
Althought the dock itself does nothing, there is a fan/exhaust port on the console which you won't want to be running on a handheld, so I'm currently going along with the theory others have said where it has lower clocks to push 720p on a handheld and keep things cool and quiet, then brings up the frambuffer and clocks everything up to hit 1080p.
They've designed handhelds for ages. If there's a fan on when being used, it's kind of a dealbreaker and I'm hoping they're not that stupid.
Huh, there is some truth there. I think Brad stands out the least between the allies. He's essentially the group's Kakyoin.
Es tut mir leid.
To be fair people have asked before but that link was only tweeted yesterday.
Of course it was only tweeted yesterday. I asked FantomenK for the song on Twitter only yesterday because people here kept looking for it. Unless you meant that other people had already asked that from him on Twitter, but he hadn't shared the link. That'd be odd, though - I don't know why he'd give the link to me, but not to someone else.

Well, I stand corrected then. Though in my defense, I was thinking more of the common case (in which case you'd need a dedicated backup solution, which might be easy for some of us but not everybody). For special events they should probably look into it.

Boy, the Fiasconauts teaser is really nice, but I have no idea what they're covering in it. Is it super bad games? Messed up development stories (I think it might be this?)? It's super hard to get a feel about what this could be, since the actual content in the teaser is nothing like the final product, as far as the EZa audience knows.
As for the lack of local recordings of streams, that's just terrible, especially since they know from experience that Twitch loves to mute stuff. If a group that has proclaimed its technical incompetence many times, like the Super Best Friends, can do it, it's easily within the Allies power to do it.

From reading the description, it's a tabletop series where they play Fiasco. I've never heard of it before.
