@DavidMac "I skimmed those and all they are are angry comments because the game’s art style is creepy AF."
ah yes, they all are simply reasonable, rightfully outraged comments such as:
"how many f-ng real, actual women do you have on your team? any? even one? t-nnies don't f-ng count..." [nice gratiutous transphobia here, m8; also one of the artists are women IIRC]
"If I find my child playing this, expect you and NINTENDO to hear from both me and my lawyers" [ok, Karen: do you want to be laughed out of court on the grounds of being a 0iq halfwit who's a lousy parent as well for not keeping you kid in check?]
"Kill yourselves for giving right-wing f-gs a platform" [demanding suicide in an edgy way, el-oh-el]
"Disgusting. hope you get shot, you f-ng incels" [imagine being absolutely bootydisturbed to the point wish death on people over boobs]
"would be a shame if something was sent to -redacted-, huh?" [if that aint the most transparent threat so far, idk what it is]
"stupid f-ng garbage incel bs you're peddling. hope you get the f-ng rope" [again, another idiot extremely mad at anime boobies]
"Sick, sick, sick. twisted. Hope you enjoy the incoming legal action." [another Karen that is bound to be laughed out of court because a lawsuit over the existence of anime tiddies is 100% bound to fall through]
"stupid AGPs. you're doing irreversive harm to women. off yourselves" [op demanding suicide while lowkey showing they're the ones who has "irreversible harm"]
"vile t-nny game. sincerely kill yourselves and don't repopulate. vile t-nny bulls-t. how dare you to put this in front of youth" [a lot to unpack here]
The fact you either willingfully ignored or even deemed these comments acceptable coupled with the "anybody who draws or enjoys big boobies (read: a big chunk of heterosexual men, alongside a fair size of bisexuals and lesbians) is a creep" either tells me that a) you're simply a troll trying to pull a fast one on us or b) you're one of those too online weirdos who posture themselves as Genuine Women Respecters™ who mostly end up in what I dub "The Peter Bright Zone"
for those who were doubting about the threats and whatnot, the publisher released a compilation of screenshots of tweets, dm's and emails they got, which range from simply "people getting unreasonably mad at anime boobies" to actual (death) threats [warning: there's a bit of extremely strong language]: https://twitter.com/TopHatStudiosEN/status/1345503707203571716
to all people here basically saying "cloud version good": you ain't gonna sing the same tune the day the servers shut down and lose access to the game for good.
@TheFrenchiestFry 61 million Switches sold since 2017 renders "muh dedicated console space" point moot, especially in light of ARM devices closing the gap with x86 devices as of lately.
@BornInNorway81 "This game won’t work on Switch. No car racing game will. Sorry, folks. The lack of pressure-sensitive shoulder buttons ensures Switch won’t see these games."
Burnout games aren't exactly simulators, bud. You can play any Burnout game with a gamepad or even a keyboard without the slightlest of hitches.
@Biff_ARMStrong please tell me how '96 is just "one more feature" compared to '95 or how '99 is the same game as '97/'98 in the same way SSF2 is to SF2.
Heck, your argument would fall flat even with Capcom's SF Alpha and SF3 series.
Looks like EA is lazying this one up. It's almost like if they are sabotaging themselves to pull out Switch support when people don't buy an overpriced PS3/360 port.
Not a big loss, given we are dealing with Randy "watch me trying to screw over my dev partner for A:CM, Sega, to bolster my budget for my own IPs and not get caught" Pitchford.
@BlatantlyHeroic Given Nintendo's insistence on billing the Switch as a "home console", the size, and the reported battery life (3 hours) I won't discard the possibility of a "Switch mini/DS" appearing in 2 years or so.
Putting your eggs in one basket is a rather risky proposition and if it even works you will see dimmishing returns over time; making the Switch a family of systems would be the best course of action for Nintendo.
Even though Nintendo was in the legal right to do this, it's still a bad move PR-wise, given how people despise Fed Force (to somewhat irrational levels, but still...)

It's not a myth. It's something called "self-fullfilling prophecy".

Because in the real world it is compromised. I don't deny the appeal of such device but in practical terms it has to sacrifice either price, performance or even size. And your dream device already exists: it's called the nVidia Shield. It's a damn fine piece of hardware, no doubt but it was too expensive (first at 350USD, then slashed to 299), it was bulky and with no exclusive games it didn't even put up a fight with the 3DS and even the Vita; in fact nVidia had to expand the lineup to stand a chance (Shield Tablet and Shield Android TV)

Re: Talking Point: Imagining a Future Nintendo Switch Budget Spin-Off - A Non-Switching Microconsole
It would be dumb if Nintendo puts all their eggs in one basket with one model/form factor of the Switch.
I expect to see a portable-only "Switch Lite/Mini/DS" and probably a home-only "Switch TV/Pro" down the line.
