Loved it, played it on Steam (Close 2nd to TroubleShooter)
I figured this would not run very well on Switch, it was also only $27 at CDkeys, so went with PC (also has a GeforceNOW release for on the GO) If you like these types of games, this one is good.
"...targeting 30fps" and @520p dynamic resolution - it would be disappointing.
That is the thing about publishers on Switch, it is awful resolution and still cant lock @30FPS in some games. At least keep 1 stable, not a double serving of crap.
Still have my pre-order, but keeping expectations in check (It will not be MH: World on my PC)
@johnvboy That is fine for them, I got mine on launch - so I played ZBOTW more than 3 years ago. The PS5 sold out here in the US in a day and the 3080 barely lasted 30min before selling out everywhere (Even the $800 cards are gone) That Switch sells 20 million wont change any of that either. 2 different hardware to play very different gaming experience.
Pretty obvious at this point that we can vote for an Imbecile in the States that can muck everything up if stuff based here.
I rather have Technology as global as ARM in control of UK/EU companies than one in the States.
Or give the UK veto export power (and on any future sales) on the tech like the Chinese are doing with TikTok. UK should keep a foot in the company's revolving door.
You would think with all the Free upgrades people getting for PS5 / XSX. Nintendo would at least give a free copy of the one people bought on WiiU virtual console.
Wouldn't that be a great way to celebrate both Mario and the fan base that supported the company even during the crap years.
But instead lets do this circus, and milk them yet again or toss them to the scalpers
@carlos82 Yeah for a handheld/hybrid it is the "most advanced". Anyone playing 2017 ZBOTW on a bus can realize that still today. After 3 years nobody has come with anything better in that category, shows how far ahead Nintendo was back in 2017 with the concept. People can't argue that away from Nintendo.
They are sticking to "the same concept" because it sells 1.04 Billion games. And keeps another 42 million PS+ subscriptions a year.
Why Nvidia is also launching a new $699 PC graphic card on the 17th. Microsoft launching Xcloud for PC Game Pass on the 14th will make zero difference. The 3080/3070 will sell like hotcakes.
2 different things, for 2 different needs.
Also, The simple fact we are still talking about Xbox in the gaming community shows there are entire other markets that want things Japan does not.

Re: Review: Ori And The Will Of The Wisps - This Xbox Classic Is A Must-Have On Switch
Loved it - 4K @60fps, HDR10 and all maxed. It is just stunning.
And an example of why PC Game Pass is just a fantastic deal if you own a PC. This is the level of quality I've been getting for $5 a month!
Well worth a play.
Re: Feature: Which 1080p Portable Monitor Is Right For Your Nintendo Switch?
I have this one (it has a 10 coupon for like 9 months now)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VFF4TZG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I got it for work to set up my Surface GO at hotels. But I also plug the Switch charger on one USB-C port and the switch on another and it works.
Now I just pack my Switch charger. And use it for the Surface GO, Switch and my phone. Simple travel bag.

Re: Nintendo Switch Games With Small Text: The Worst Offenders - How To Use Zoom On Switch
Yep, this is the same problem I have with GeforceNOW and Shadow. Do the same thing (pinch to zoom)
Ride home after work when my eyes were done, FE was a pain. Indies do a much better job than most.
Re: Rumour: Mass Effect Trilogy Remaster Won't Be Coming To Switch After All, Says New Report
Have them all on EA Origin. Never play them. How about SW: Squadrons on Switch.
Re: Talking Point: Could Monster Hunter Rise Hint At New Switch Hardware On The Horizon?
"...1080p/60fps performance would be gratefully received"
So now 60fps does matter 😅😉

Re: Random: Switch Owners Are Discovering Just How Frustrating Super Mario Sunshine Can Be
When the box has a Nintendo logo on it, they call this "charm"
Better just keep this as a memory. If I play it again will probably ruin it by realizing how broken it was.
Re: Microsoft Has Just Bought Bethesda, Giving It Doom, Fallout, Elder Scrolls And Wolfenstein
"...all future releases — such as The Elder Scrolls 6 and Starfield — will be available via Game Pass from launch"
Woot, PC Game Pass, best $5 in Gaming. I'll pay the $15 for Xcloud for the Elder Scroll 6 Launch for the Bus.
Re: Random: Forget The Switch, Super Mario 64 Has Been Ported To Dreamcast, PS2 And PS Vita
XDA has Super Mario 64 running native on Android.
Re: Random: Some 3D All-Stars Players Aren't Happy About The Visible Debug Cubes In Super Mario Sunshine
@JimmySpades so, barely do any work or $60 half finished milk ports was their solution to "crunch"... that is brilliant.
Re: Monster Hunter Stories Is The Best-Selling 3DS Game On Amazon Right Now
Loved it. I thought it was a great on the GO game.
Also you can get the HD version on iOS for $19 if you do not have a 3DS. It looks a lot better than the 3DS version.
Re: Random: Some 3D All-Stars Players Aren't Happy About The Visible Debug Cubes In Super Mario Sunshine
All of 2020 is a sign of Nintendo being lazy.
Re: Disgaea 6: Defiance Of Destiny Is A Nintendo Switch Exclusive Coming Summer 2021
Awesome, that is 3 games on the list.
Whatever hardware gets it first in the US, gets my cash. Not playing the waiting/begging game.

Re: Review: Super Mario 3D All-Stars - Three Of Mario's Greatest Adventures Come To Switch
@Retro_Player_77 2 of them were on WiiU virtual console. Again, they can celebrate - but they can also make it a bit more consumer friendly.
Re: Ori And The Will Of The Wisps Launches On Switch Today
Great game... just stunning art. If you liked the 1st one, this is a must buy! And only $29 digital.
Re: It's Official, Monster Hunter Rise Confirmed For Nintendo Switch
Wow, Capcom came to the rescue. Very cool, 2021 is finally looking up!
This is how you do it, announce new exciting games. It can be months away - but toss it out there and fill the schedule.
Re: Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings Of Ruin Hits Switch Summer 2021
Awesome!... I loved monster Hunter Stories (There is also an HD version on iPhone)
Hope it keeps the turn base combat! This is day 1.
Re: Mass Effect Trilogy Remastered Retail Listing Appears, Gets Taken Down Immediately
Have them all on Origin.
The way "remasters" are on Switch... my old PC versions will probably look/run better anyway.
How about "Also" release SW: Squadrons. Give cross play and cross save with PC. Now that would be news.
Re: Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase To Air Tomorrow
Bravely 2 Update and EA announces SW: Squadrons with PC cross save.
But realistically, probably a bunch of old games I have in my Steam account (and ignore)
Re: Review: Super Mario 3D All-Stars - Three Of Mario's Greatest Adventures Come To Switch
Easy money.
Cant blame them for keep selling the same exact game over and over again... especially when people pay $60 for this stuff.
Re: Video: Super Mario 3D All-Stars Looks Miles Better Than The Originals, And Here's The Proof
Looks like what you get out of Dolphin with a resolution upscale.
I guess if Nintendo is the publisher, "resolution does matter" and makes one version "much better" over another 😉🙃
Either way, each version should have been free for anyone who bought it on the WiiU. Those people should not need to buy this again.
Re: FIFA 21 Costs £45 On Switch, Despite Being Another 'Legacy' Reskin
@tech7 You can Play PES instead.
Re: Video: Nintendo Shows Off Super Mario Galaxy's Touchscreen Controls On Switch
This is why most games do not use motion control nonsense.
Just map it.
Re: FIFA 21 Costs £45 On Switch, Despite Being Another 'Legacy' Reskin
FIFA21 is not on Switch.
If you are a Sports fan, only buying a Switch is not a good idea. You need a different system.
Re: Nvidia Is Purchasing Chip Designer Arm, And That Could Be Very Good News For Nintendo
@NEStalgia Yeah, I actually had no idea either until I read the piece in The Guardian.
Re: Nvidia Is Purchasing Chip Designer Arm, And That Could Be Very Good News For Nintendo
UK should block this.
Pretty obvious at this point that we can vote for an Imbecile in the States that can muck everything up if stuff based here.
I rather have Technology as global as ARM in control of UK/EU companies than one in the States.

Re: Video: Genshin Impact Gets A New, Gorgeously Animated Story Trailer
The Closed Beta was lots of fun. So I already pre-registered (PC)
They say the PC version will have cross progression with Android for on the GO play. So no need to wait for the Switch version.
Re: Last Month's Top 10 Switch Games Were All Published By Nintendo (US)
Obviously they do stand a Chance (you just need to look at the US top 10 for 2020 so far) Popular 3rd party are mostly just not on Switch.
2 games on that list were released in the last 9 months. People are digging deep in their backlog for something to play at this point.
Glad to see Paper Mario in there.
Re: Mini Review: Party Hard 2 - This Stripped-Down Hitman Clone Is A Fun Time
"Stripped-Down" is one was to describe it. I rather read the paper on the Bus and put the $20 towards Hitman3.
Re: Online Retailer Cancels Orders For Super Mario 3D All-Stars Due To "Woefully Short" Supply
You would think with all the Free upgrades people getting for PS5 / XSX. Nintendo would at least give a free copy of the one people bought on WiiU virtual console.
Wouldn't that be a great way to celebrate both Mario and the fan base that supported the company even during the crap years.
But instead lets do this circus, and milk them yet again or toss them to the scalpers
Re: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Light Edition For Switch Surfaces Via German Retailer
Everyone else gets a Free Next Gen version... Switch owners get milking the base 2.0 edition
Re: Ubisoft CEO Publicly Apologises For Misconduct Allegations
I am never more outraged than the people actually in the situation.
Ubi employees seem to be back at work and no news of them all walking out on the company because changes they made are not enough.
Moving on.
Re: Rumour: Is Prince Of Persia Remake Coming To Switch? Well, It's Complicated
It sure looks like it should be on Switch. It is just ugly, And they have the balls to even call it a "remake".
Re: Japanese Charts: Ring Fit Adventure Beats Marvel's Avengers To Number One
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 (Switch) 9,436
Marvel Avengers (PS4) 42,979
It is Japan and another mediocre western game with the "Marvel" logo on it. Not sure why anyone would think this would end any different.
Re: Poll: How Do You Feel About 'Limited-Time' Games From Nintendo?
1. Did not care to buy any of this on the WiiU virtual console (I was also desperate for New games)
2. Never cared to get them on Dolphin (For Free)
Basically Nintendo doing whatever they can to milk Nintendo fans before FY 2020 ending March 31st 2021 numbers.
But lets frame it as a "Celebration" 😉
Re: Guide: Nintendo Switch Fall/Winter Games - All The Big Games Coming In 2020, And Beyond
@JimmySpades I aim to please (unlike this release schedule)
Re: Guide: Nintendo Switch Fall/Winter Games - All The Big Games Coming In 2020, And Beyond
Nintendo basically carrying the Switch for the next few months again.
I'll Use my Switch again in about 3 months from now for Hyrule Warriors.
Re: Rumour: Prince Of Persia Remake Won't Be Coming To Nintendo Switch After All
You can buy all 3 games for $6 on uPlay.
If people care so much for all these old games, should just play on PC. It is Backward compatible with decades of old games.
Re: Where To Pre-Order Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity On Nintendo Switch
Done.
Cyberpunk 2077 for Home on the 19th. Hyrule Warriors for on the GO on the 20th (Yakuza: like a dragon as a back-up for Home or GO)
November is set. Great when my hardware set-up actually has New and exciting software to make it work.
Re: UK Charts: Several New Releases Push Animal Crossing: New Horizons Down To Fourth Place

Re: There Are Currently No Plans To Bring More Kingdom Hearts Games To Switch
Already played them. Give some Bravely Default 2 updates.
Re: Nintendo Reveals Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, A Game Set 100 Years Before Breath Of The Wild
Not a fan of these types of games. But just like Persona 5 Scramble I am excited for this one.

Re: Soapbox: Astral Chain Was The Game Nintendo Needed Most In Its 2019 Switch Lineup
It was not at Nier Automata's level, but still an enjoyable Platinum action game.
Bayo3 and Babylon's Tower are next. Been a great few years for Platinum fans 👍
Re: Scalpers Are Already Listing The "Limited" Switch Release Super Mario 3D All-Stars
Not even willing to pay $59 for it direct from Nintendo 🤷♂️
