Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

@kaisu 64 GB Switch games is very expensive for game companies.

@Grumblevolcano
Mercedes probably doesn't care. It's free advertising for them.

I thought this was very interesting

check out the complicated development of Pikmin 4.

I hope Sony doesn't give Nintendo ideas. That HZD remaster sounds absurd, you can already play the game on PS5 (since launch via backwards compatibility) but also at 4k 60fps via a free patch which released in August 2021. A PS5 $70 remaster is not needed, you can't even use PC as an excuse as HZD came to PC in 2020.

Wii U ports on Switch makes sense (and I'm happy with) as there's no backwards compatibility (they couldn't in any way have added backwards compatibility given the size of Wii U discs) but I would expect full Switch backwards compatibility for the next Switch.

@Grumblevolcano
Not only do they make sense due to no BC, they make sense as hybrid versions, and they make sense because so few played them on Wii U.

Switch 2 remasters would make far less sense as the games would already be BC and hybrid. But I don't think that's gonna happen.

Sony sells graphics. And they've learned they can keep reselling the same games an unlimited number of times as long as the spec sheet has higher numbers.

Who knows what the future holds, and I can't say I wouldn't be interested in any Switch remasters. But Switch games have a lot of room to improve. Whereas realistic games already running at high resolutions do not.

@Kermit1
I would like to see Pokemon Fusion (two different Pokemon combined into new Pokemon) like on Yokai Watch or Monster Rancher games.
I'm not sure the Pokemon fans are ready with that idea as I found some of Pokemon Fusion ideas from Instagram were really good.

@kaisu i see but what are the benefit for developers to use 64 GB game card? more detailed characters models? does Nintendo have a game that use a 32 GB game card?

@JaxonH when you put your Switch game that run at 30fps in your Switch sucessor, it performance got boosted to 60fps(see easy solution here, no need for Switch remaster for Switch sucessor),just follow the example of Xbox Series X/S with older games on sucessor.

@JaxonH No BC does technically includes those other points of why Wii U ports makes sense. Like you couldn't realistically make a hybrid system with a disc drive that plays Wii U games (too big to have a handheld mode) meanwhile backwards compatibility only with digital games has really bad optics given a huge proportion of Nintendo system owners prioritizes physical games.

Yes! Looks like Inscryption is getting a port. I've been looking forward to trying this.

Since it's Digital Devolver, I'll be holding out for a physical copy from Special Reserve for Inscryption.

@kaisu intereting

Finally got my shipping notification for Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Collector Edition. They told me it was delayed to Oct 31st, but I guess it's coming earlier than expected now.

Right on.

3 more days to Nier Automata. Little Monster Hunter and Trails From Zero on the side until Thursday.

Rumors of a Midnight Club LA remaster are making the round on the interwebs.

Mario movie Direct has been announced...

Is that picture supposed to be what the movie looks like?? Because if so I think this looks surprisingly detailed.

But anyways I can't wait for people to spam "SILKSONG" during the entire trailer

Platinum Games confirm Jeniffer Hale is the voice of Bayonetta in Bayonetta 3(Helena Taylor Bayonetta original voice acting coundt return due to severals overlapping circumstances)

@Giancarlothomaz
That's great news. We knew they used a different voice actress this time, but Jennifer Hale is probably the best possible outcome we could have hoped for. She's best of the best. And the fact much of the dialog is so hard to tell apart from the previous VA is a testament to that fact.

Speaking of which, this dude got a chance to play Bayonetta 3 and has some feedback on the combat
