Re: Talking Point: What Would Be The Ideal Way To Play DS Games On 'Switch 2'?

AStupidID

I think a mixture of Tate mode if you wanna play in handheld mode, and dominus if on the big screen, then some games cam be recommended to tate mode (maybe in case of very touch heavy games like Spirit Tracks), is the best option. Maybe if they change some games to have movement done with analogue instead of touch (PH and ST). Although that's a lot more work, and I doubt they'd do that last idea for many or any games.

Re: New Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Update Leaves The Switch Behind

AStupidID

I think some people might be being a bit harsh on the writer of this page. They wanted other improvements on Switch, not the 4k. For myself I wanted 60fps - I have the MGS collection on ps3 and that runs at 720p, 60fps, so the Switch should be able to at least have a mode to do that, even if it can't do 1080p 60fps (which for two decade year old game seems like it could be done as well, honestly).

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's GBA Library With Two More Titles

@Lizuka I think we might get more drops soon if Switch 2 releases alongside GCN, maybe DS NSO. Feels like they might be holding off a bit in comparison to last year and first half of this year, as if waiting for something like that, although I think we've got some sick drops lately, despite being a little more spaced out.

Re: Review: Endless Ocean: Luminous (Switch) - A Meditative Marine Milieu, But Incredibly Shallow

AStupidID

This review seems a little harsh to me. The game is meant to be about relaxing. The first game even let you input your own music, so I think this is definitely made to be a podcast, or youtube-in-background game where you can just vibe out.
Game seems like it's exactly what it says on the tin and I think maybe the reviewer expected something different without any disrespect to them.
I'm still looking forward to getting this at some point.

Re: Review: Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection (Switch) - Riddled With Issues, This Is

AStupidID

I bought these games hoping Aspyr had returned to form after their Tomb Raider remasters. But found myself very disappointed - the multiplayer is borked, the default control schemes were designed by an ape, and the 32gb install is a joke for such old games. Never buying from Aspyr again. Would have refunded immediately if I could.

Hopefully they offer some free games to offset this awful remaster like they did with Kotor II, although I doubt it.

Re: Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection's Next Update Comes To Switch "Late March"

AStupidID

@Yomerodes I see your arguments, Konami did amazing stuff with the PS2 hardware. But this collection only runs at 1080p 60fps on the PS5, compared to 720p 60fps on PS3. I think it's just a pretty lazy port in all honesty across all platforms. They could have got it to run better on Switch with a little effort, as they could have upscaled it to 4k on PS5. These games are from the PS2 era - they should run at 60 on anything, even if that meant a performance mode. Just my opinion though - respect yours. Hoping they do a next-gen update for Switch 2, although I don't think they will.

EDIT: Just looked it up and according to Eurogamer they only run at 720p on every console as well :/.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 2nd)

AStupidID

Gonna try and beat Earthbound Beginnings if I have time. I'm on my second time up Mt.Itoi and believe after that I have to go away and come back one more time. Really hope this game gets a remake at some point as it is so close to being one of the best rpgs of the era, but is slightly let down by a few small pacing and other problems that they could fix.

Still having fun despite all that and with a walkthrough, I'd definitely recommend it to any fans of classic rpgs.

Re: Pokémon Legends Z-A Announced, Coming To Switch In 2025

AStupidID

I'm super happy they have taken the feedback from S and V, and decided on a longer development time to make the game as polished as it can be. Also, the presumed idea of you building up the city the way you want sounds like an amazing gameplay loop.
All that being said, I do think Red and Blue on NSO would have been the perfect thing to tide us over and create hype for the Direct.
