People in here wishing for Beamdog to handle this are forgetting how awful the Switch port of Neverwinter Nights was. Just check the NintendoLife review.
SEGA develops nothing that is worth $60, let alone $70. They exist largely off the backs of the better developers they have bought over the years, like Atlus and Creative Assembly.
The framerate is better than Age of Calamity. Not sure how anyone would get the impression otherwise.
That said, I am surprised they ditched the "performance mode" feature from the last Fire Emblem Warriors. The graphical tradeoff was worth the better framerate.
Considering the slowdown in sales is due to component shortage rather than slowing interest.....I'm going to say Nintendo is in no hurry nor need of a successor at this time.

Re: Dungeon-Crawling RPG Legend Of Grimrock Is Getting A Switch Release
@a_brave_new_geek And all of those games are based on Wizardry (1981).
Re: Soapbox: 'Switch 2' Doesn't Really Need Backwards Compatibility
Can't wait for the next articles:
"Switch 2 Doesn't Really Need Analog Sticks That Don't Drift"

Re: Soapbox: 'Switch 2' Doesn't Really Need Backwards Compatibility
Imagine arguing in favor of having fewer features.
Re: Dolphin Emulator Steam Release "Indefinitely Postponed"
This is straight up DMCA abuse from Nintendo.
Re: Sega Looks Set To Raise Its Game Prices Up To $70

Re: Sega Explains Why Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection Costs $80
30 hours for Etrian Odyssey? Not sure how anyone could beat the game that quickly. It took me over 100 hours.
Re: PSA: You Only Have One Week To Purchase 3DS And Wii U eShop Games
Shame on any company that doesn't have a discount running on their eShop titles right now.
That includes you, Nintendo.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Apparently Has The Biggest File Size Of Any First-Party Switch Release
If the extra $10 were going to pay for a bigger card, then there's no justification for making the digital version $70. Just pure greed at that point.
Re: Arrest Made In Japan After Nintendo Executive Receives Death Threats
I guess they took the $70 Zelda price pretty hard.
Re: Yes, Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Costs $70, Collector's Edition Announced
I miss Iwata.
Yes, that's all I have to say, NL.
Re: Factorio Is Getting A $5 Price Increase "To Account For Inflation"
Kind of pathetic to see Twitter replies encouraging the developers to jack the price up even higher.
Looks like a toxic community. I had considered purchasing this title in the past, but now I will definitely be staying away.
Re: TMNT: Shredder's Revenge, LEGO Star Wars & More Crowned TIME's 'Best Video Games Of 2022'
Tell me you only play games on PlayStation without telling me you only play games on PlayStation.
Re: Random: Lego Is Now Blocking Idea Submissions Based On The Legend Of Zelda
Nintendo ninja lawyers probably told them to stop taking submissions.
Re: Video: The Future Of Gaming Is Joy-Con Drift-Free
The drift-free Hall Effect joysticks are the future, and are seeing increased adoption (Steam Deck, 8bitdo).
But Nintendo will probably cheap out and not use them on the next console.
Re: Poll: One Year After The DLC, Are You Still Playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons?
Typical Nintendo leaving money on the table by abandoning title support too early.

Oh boy....

Thanks for reminding me, gotta pre-order my copy.
Re: 3DS System Update 11.16.0-49 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
The 3DS has been getting more updates lately than the Switch.
Re: Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes Demo Drops Today
The framerate is better than Age of Calamity. Not sure how anyone would get the impression otherwise.
That said, I am surprised they ditched the "performance mode" feature from the last Fire Emblem Warriors. The graphical tradeoff was worth the better framerate.
Re: Atlus Wants To Know If You Would Like More Nintendo Switch Games
Ah yes, the annual tradition of filling out an Atlus survey for more Switch games only to recieve practically none.
Re: Talking Point: As Switch Hardware Sales Slow, How Long Can Nintendo Delay 'Switch 2'?
Considering the slowdown in sales is due to component shortage rather than slowing interest.....I'm going to say Nintendo is in no hurry nor need of a successor at this time.
My wild guess is 2024 at earliest.
Re: Nintendo Close To Hitting $1.8 Billion In Revenue From Mobile Games
Fire Emblem has some serious whales.
Re: Random: Of Course Someone Has Already Smashed Their TV Playing Switch Sports
Kirby can't believe what he's seeing.
Re: Random: Nintendo Switch Sports Contains A Neat Easter Egg In Its Credits
The Ignore feature here is great, but we also need a "hide any posts that are replying to a person you have ignored" feature.
Re: A Bunch Of NIS America Games Get Huge Price Cuts On 3DS (Europe)
So NIS America is the Etrian Odyssey publisher in Europe, but Atlus is the publisher for Etrian Odyssey in America?
Re: Video: 7 Nintendo Switch Games Exclusive To Japan That We Really Want Localised
@KBuckley27 Level-5 shut down their North American operations. That's pretty much a cancellation.
Re: Reggie Fils-Aimé Talks Re-Evaluating His Life After Iwata's Death
"Nintendo of America was the biggest part of global Nintendo, half of the sales and profits"
Interesting, if not entirely surprising.
Re: Review In Progress: Nintendo Switch Sports - Familiar Fun With Friends, But Little More
Some days, I really miss the Iwata era of Nintendo.
Re: Capcom Slashes Prices Of Games On 3DS & Switch eShop For Golden Week (North America)
Once again, Capcom forgot they released Monster Hunter Stories on 3DS.
Re: Feature: Will These 10 Classic JRPGs Ever Come To Switch?
Xenosaga seems more likely than Xenogears, considering Nintendo's working relationship with Bandai Namco, but still seems unlikely overall.
Re: Sonic Origins Arrives 23rd June, New Trailer And Website Are Live
Online leaderboards in games are a waste of time. The top person always has a suspiciously impossible score/time.
Re: It Looks Like Nintendo's Game Boy Emulator For Switch Online Just Leaked
I suspect any additional consoles from this point on will require the Expansion Pack.
Re: Talking Point: Is It Ever A Good Idea To Start At 'The Beginning' Of Series Like Zelda Or Dragon Quest?
Depends on the series, as some have fairly standalone entries that don't require knowledge of previous entries - like Dragon Quest.
But imagine starting a game like Kingdom Hearts III without playing the previous entries 😬
Re: Review: Touken Ranbu Warriors - A 'My First Musou' That Adds Little To The Formula
I personally enjoy Dynasty/Samurai Warriors, Hyrule Warriors, Fire Emblem Warriors and Persona 5 Strikers, but this game has no appeal to me.
Musou games really do require you to care about the source material to maintain interest.
Re: Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Gets A Release Date And New amiibo
Hunting down the amiibo will be more difficult than any of the monsters in the game.
Re: Capcom Launches Its Biggest 3DS Sale Ever (US)
No discount on Monster Hunter Stories is a huge disappointment 😒
Re: Konami Announces Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection For Switch
TMNT for NES is pretty much the original Dark Souls.
Re: Hands On: Kirby And The Forgotten Land: More 'Super Mario 3D World' Than 'Mario Odyssey'
To be fair, calling Odyssey open world is a stretch. It is also segmented into levels, albeit larger ones than a traditional Mario game.
A true open world game generally has one contiguous world, like Breath of the Wild.

Oof.

Re: Shin Megami Tensei V Updated To Version 1.02, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
"Reduces the number of gimmicks for successive jumps after the leyline in Demon King’s Castle: 3rd Stratum"
I just did that part a couple of hours ago and those jump mechanics were really annoying 😂
Re: Review: Beyond Blue - Echoes Of Endless Ocean In This Noble Effort That Never Quite Gels
What's Arika doing these days? Endless Ocean 3, please.
Re: Doug Bowser Comments On The Battle Against Joy-Con Drift, Says Nintendo Are Making "Continuous Improvements"
"Wear is unavoidable" and yet my WaveBird controller from 2004 has zero drift, whereas my launch joycons began drifting after 2 years. 🤷♂️
The problem isn't really wear, it's poor design.
Re: Metroid Dread Staff Say They've Been Left Out Of The Game's Credits, MercurySteam Responds
If your work is used in the final product - regardless of how long you actually worked on the project - you should be credited.
Re: Random: Wait A Sec, That Sure Looks Like Mario In Sonic The Hedgehog's Marble Zone
The design is based on the "Lion's Gate" in the ancient Greek city of Mycenae:

Re: Review: Tetris Effect: Connected - Mizuguchi's Masterpiece Finds Its Ideal Platform
No Labo VR support is a shame. I realize that not many people have Labo, but still.
Re: Introducing Super Mario Eclipse - A New Super Mario Sunshine Mod Featuring An Expanded Story And Much More
I'm starting to think NintendoLife writes articles about mods specifically to alert Nintendo to their existence 😏
