Not everyone sees things the way you do.

I have a PS5, and a PC that "curb stomps" the PS5 (such unnecessary language to describe something in a civilized way- just comes across as intentionally flaming ppl, just say it's a significant improvement and leave it at that- 99% of the time its not what you say, but how you say it) and I don't care in the slightest.

I know it's easy to believe if others just replicated your actions they'd agree with you, but ppl are different, see things from different perspectives and hold different values. Not everyone is super obsessed with 120fps or VR or high end graphics. No matter how much it adds to your personal experience, not everyone else is going to feel the same.

Think they made it pretty clear they prefer the experience on Switch. I also prefer it on Switch. Hard as it may be to believe, there are many of us out there that simply don't value the same things you happen to.

Backtracking to the Nier convo, replicant remake is popular for a few reasons. It tells the other side of the 360 version so westerner finally get the full story, automata made Nier popular and Replicant and Gestalt (360 game) are the background to automata (plus all the side material that most folks won’t go through) so the curiosity is there. Plus I am sure the mobile game sparked somebody’s interest as well. So toss all that in a pot and it isn’t surprising that the remake did ok. Granted anyone that thought it was automata 1.0 would have ended up disappointed. Well, minus how the true ending works anyway.

I would hope that folks playing Doom Eternal on PS5 or XSX would expect the best experience.

I'd like to believe those who choose to play Doom Eternal on Switch expect a gimped experience.

As Magician said. People are well aware games look much better on power consoles. It's not something that needs to be reiterated ad nausem. If someone wants the best looking version, that's where they'll play a game. But if someone is telling you "yes, I know games look better, but I prefer Switch" and you continue to rattle on about, "but have you seen it, its way better" as if their opinion was formed in complete ignorance, it sounds more like salesmanship than simply having a conversation.

And again, it's not about what you say but how you say it.

I'm well aware not everyone sees things the way I do. But I'm also not pressing ppl on Switch being way better when they prefer games elsewhere.

I'm glad Falcom are quick to develop more of their games in-house.

It makes me sad the Switch port of Ys IX didn't get the same love and attention.

@Magician In this case, PH3 games (headed by Durante) is responsible for the Switch and PC ports of these games, which is why they feature gameplay improvements and whatnot.

Should have contracted these guys to do the Ys Switch ports as well.

Some people can't afford a PS5 or a Series X (or S) and also have limited space.

Oh wow.

The Switch version is like a full remaster of the PS4 version by comparison. Yet they're releasing on the same day.

We lucked out big time getting PH3 to handle the Switch conversion. In addition to all the extra features not present on the PS version, I checked the screenshot comparison sliders and, it was like the complete opposite of what you'd normally expect.

Even if it was just an upressed ROM with high speed toggle like the PS version, I'd still get it for Switch. But having all those extra bells and whistles on top of new textures sure is nice.

Anyone have a beat on shovel knight dig? I haven't heard much about it and it's supposed to be releasing soon I recall. Checked the eshop and pricing isn't even up yet.

@JaxonH To touch upon the M rating subject again, I like the designs of some of the Elden Ring bosses.

Footage of Nier Automata on Switch. You can see the areas where it needed to be downgraded (some bad texture work, more pop-in than on PS4, etc.), but performance looks pretty smooth, and the overall look of the game is basically the same.

Hopefully undocked play holds up as well.

@JaxonH I actually kinda prefer the look of the PS4 screenshots, but, regardless, they're doing good work with the Switch version. Wild to think it's going to be the definitive console edition of the game.

Turns out I might not get both Pokemon versions. $180 is a lot of money for the same game.

"The hips, too, were properly ported"

Lol that guy cracks me up.

The only real handheld issue that's ever a problem is resolution, and Nier is said to be full native 720p in handheld, so if it looks this close to the other versions docked, I imagine that'll only be more true in handheld mode.

Looking at the screenshots of Trails, neither looks bad, but the noticeable difference I see is cleaner, higher res textures (and optional larger text which is good for handheld mode)

The Switch news section article for the N64 games in the Direct seems a bit off. For Pilotwings 64 it has "2009 - 2010 Nintendo / INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS." and there's an age rating of 18+ for the article.
