Re: Nightdive Studios' CEO Says That Game-Key Cards On Switch 2 Is "Disheartening"

Alcea

@Medic_alert
The reasoning was like:
"Lower carts are not worth the effort to produce anymore"

We will only know for sure once June 5th rolls around and we can l̶i̶c̶k̶ teardown the carts to see whats inside.

Maybe XRay em

@Dee123 @TbobB
Good Job.
Did the boots taste good ?

@Aiodensghost
They are can be lent out.

But I can also lend you my car keys.
You still need to download a 450gig patch before using em* lest the engine will stall.

Still no excuse not to at least put the base version full on cart.

I'd rather not have a game at all than in this sorry state.
Keep your trash

I always love how the industry shoves rhetoric down our throath.
You don't take back "Johnny the bad boy EXx back either just because he "promises to change"

Allow em this once and you'll wonder what they'll pull next

Re: More Switch 2 Estimated File Sizes Seemingly Revealed

Digital goes choo choo.

Guess we can say goodbye to physical
"Please insert cart 2"
Lol

@Abrammchi
Good idea.

But SquareEnix and Capcom don't think.
"Oh it didn't sell ?
Let's stop supporting Nintendo"

instead of

"Oh it didn't sell ?
People want actual hardcoopies ? Sure"

Re: eBay Is Already Flooded With Switch 2 Pre-Orders At Ridiculous Prices

@Haruki_NLI
"is that it's cheapest at launch nowadays, and only gets more expensive."

Which is the sole reason to buy as soon as (affordably) possible.

World is in a weird place

@WheresWaveRace
eBay could.
They actually prohibit selling goods you do not yet have - availabale physically - in their TOS,
yet still allow those listings.

Hypocrits.

Always everything is about money.

You are not arguing with reasonable people .

Re: Switch 2 Game-Key Cards Won't Make It Easy For Physical Collectors In Japan

Alcea

Well.
The Switch2 will be my last then

@sanderev
Why are we defending scummy companies ?
You are getting LESS for MORE.

Customers are sheep.

@ottoecamn
Why would they be ?
Unless customers don't buy a single copy until they do Nintendo might aswell start selling GameKeyCards only now.

We are cooked

@Anti-Matter
Good Luck

@Zeebor15
No.
The reason is we only have:
8 gb
64gb
GKC.
You should know better Rotor...

@Gorlock
True.
But I recently got into AudioCD collecting, so I'm not the right person for that conversation.
The walls look nicer with CD Jewelcases attached to them.
Pretty 😺

As for Switch games. I always only keep the gamecard and paperinlay.
The cards are so easy to stash its insane 😊

Re: Opinion: Steam Deck Fans Are Seriously Underestimating The Switch 2

Alcea

I've had a Deck for over. a year now.
Had fun setting it up, getting KingdomHearts and FFVIIR aswell as FFVIIRebirth and FFXIII for it ..

..
And then I let it collect dust.
It's nice.
But its not a Switch

There is so much to do to make games run.
Its annyoing

Also ApexLegends left the "DeckVerified" tier.
It's a joke. Devs treat it like garbage

@Galaxy2IsTheGOAT
I think Duskblood already roasted some ppl.
I'll get it on launch.

@SirAileron
NSO ?
It allows SaveCloud.

The best feature Nintendo has.
And ever had.
Worth the subscription alone !

@Pigeon
I thought that too..
And I barely use it...
Lol

GameKeyCards will make sure it will be worse this year

Sigh

@Gorlock
Missing the point entirely.
Try 2MBit wifi for a week.
Good Luck downloading AnYtHing

10 years?
Where are the servers.
Thats quite the shortsightedness.

I do agree with "swapping games sucks" notion tho.
I buy games I know for sure I'll play alot twice (digital&physical) cause I hate cart swapping)

Re: Japanese Retailer Is Asking The Public How To Combat Switch 2 Scalpers

Alcea

Force Creditcard / Sepa payment upfront
Also ask for a fingerprint.
Put both in a database.

If a new purchase is made, check with database b4 selling

Not foolproof.
But Scoundrels have many friends

@Princess_Lilly

You can't even enforce one/customer easily
This problem is a human one

Ofc not.

Re: Mario Kart World Players Are Already Uncovering Hidden Vehicles

Alcea

Welp guess this game and GTAVI will dominate the charts for the next 15 years.

Maybe I need to buy it at launch after all...
I only planned on getting a Switch2 Base and nothing else...

@Stwert
Still I'm glad.
Nintendo was the only company to make me look forward to their products the last 25 years.

I'd not know what to play if not for them.
Probably I'd play Solitaire on Computer all day lol
