I take it all games on all the other platforms run flawlessly? I’m not mocking, serious question. I’ve been playing games since I had my Commodore 64, but I’ve been a Nintendo only gamer since the Dreamcast died. I’m currently replaying DOOM 2016, again, for my OG Switch and I am LOVING it… again. I’ve never played so much during this generation, and never had so much fun. I am not immune to performance drops, Link’s Awakening was very annoying for example, but I still played and completed the game and had an excellent time. I have no experience on any other platform, but the way we ramble on here I have to assume everything runs perfectly elsewhere?
@JohnnyMind curious, have you fully moved over to Switch2 now, or are you still playing Switch games on Switch1? Have a good weekend, thanks for always contributing here
Well it’s the Glorious 12th here in Northern Ireland… and when I say glorious, I mean the weather, cuz I ain’t a marching man 😜 I’d imagine all that will go over the head of most here. So I’m off, the weather is incredible, but I can’t go anywhere! Been having a blast playing DOOM 2016 on Switch, again, I really think it’s my favourite out of them. Have a great weekend all and do be careful in the heat, even my marching neighbors!
I don’t think Nintendo get enough credit for how they operate at present. We get the big blockbusters, but plenty of smaller, quirky but still profitable titles. The amount of crying that they had the audacity to charge for Welcome Tour, but I’m sure it wasn’t put together for nothing, and it’s hardly breaking the bank, and ultimately nobody was forced to pay for it. Plenty of things to criticise, sure, but I think all things considered we as fans are in a good place with Nintendo, as are their employees.
DOOM 2016! First game I downloaded on my Switch when I got it, way back in May 2017 😅 little bit of MK8D and my son is enjoying Splatoon 3 and Animal Crossing. I’ve a lad from Portugal on my mind this weekend… ‘oh, his name is Diogo!’ 🕊️
Amazon has become an absolute Wild West, according to my sources. Sorry, experience. According to my own actual experience buying from and selling there, and dealing with the consequences of people buying from there without having their wits about them.
‘Sources said…’ as a long (long!) time Michael Jackson fan, I have very, very little faith in ‘sources’ 😅 Just an excuse to say, quite literally, anything you like.
@GrailUK ‘Video: Digital Foundry Tests Out Switch 2's Free Switch Game Upgrades’ and the tagline, ‘Here’s the verdict…’ If they’d crapped all over it, we’d definitely have known without ever having to click 😅 weird, I know how journalism works, I know the tricks and the tactics, but still… this is NintendoLife, sometimes it just doesn’t feel like it 🤷
@Dunkin @GrailUK is an enthusiastic fan, enjoying their gaming, not a fanboy. I will confess I do not click or watch any of DFs videos, but I have a dislike of them, and it comes directly from @NintendoLife articles and particularly the headlines they use, I have a negative perception of them from that. Obviously this article is an exception, it’s a positive article with a positive headline and tagline. Not everything has to be perfect and nobody is pretending all is well and rosy. But my negative feelings towards DF, justified or not, come from here, and maybe that’s the same for @GrailUK, I don’t know
@SuperBro64 you’re never alone, but backlash and negativity will always be loudest, even here unfortunately. You are never alone and if you’re having fun, that’s all that matters my friend, keep it up.
Here remind me when I finally get a Switch 2 next year, to check these guys out so they can ***** all over it. Or maybe, maybe… I’ll just play games and have fun 🤷
I don’t watch the news anymore to avoid the relentless negativity. Headlines like this, while good for generating clicks I’m sure, put me off altogether.
Would it be fair to say the latest DOOM has underperformed? Assuming it comes to Switch 2, I will definitely get it there next year when I hopefully climb aboard the S2 bandwagon.
Amazing! Hogwarts charting like a Nintendo evergreen, love to see it 👌 multiple Switch re-entries and climbers, fantastic stuff. Can’t argue with the cold hard facts, and that’s what this chart shows. And yes, I’m aware this is physical only.
A lot of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for me! I have been playing MK8 since 2013, unbelievable 😆 trying to get Gold and three stars on all the Booster Course Cups… on Mirror Mode. If I achieve that, and I’m more than halfway there, I MAY attempt the same on 200cc. My son has been playing a lot of Splatoon 3, but we’ve had a great weekend outdoors too. I did my fortnightly Parkrun with my wife and daughter walking it… I ask them every other Friday evening who’s doing the Parkrun with me, and they finally took me up on the offer 😅, two visits to a local Forest Park, (Castlewellan ), and even got our paddle board out for the first time this year, which was great fun. Enjoy what’s left of your weekend guys ✌🏻
The servers are not going to be turned off in a few years. I’m sympathetic to the point of this article, but I REALLY dislike the scaremongering and deceit.
Bullies, ugh. I’ve been bullied and mocked most of my life for my love for Michael Jackson, but I’m proud to be his fan, 30+ years now, and I always will be. Thanks for sharing Ollie. I bought a GameCube with RE4, Mario Kart Double Dash and Viewtiful Joe. Three absolutely incredible games, RE4 was mind blowing to me. Metroid Prime as well, truly stunning. Good times!
@BaldB3lper78 slowing? In that case so is Japan, nothing is gonna match launch week, is it now? Some of you doom mongers need to open the curtains, let some sunshine in son.
@Otoemetry I have nothing against any group, race, creed or religion, I’m not trying to troll anyone, nor will I be forced to hate anyone or follow someone else’s agenda.
@Otoemetry eliminating? Wise up. I don’t hate anybody, and I certainly won’t be forced to either. You seem to live with hatred, not me. Have a good day, if there’s any room for good.
@Otoemetry call me a fool then. Oh wait, you just did. Look at the bile directed at her, it works both ways. I’d love to know when standing up for women became the wrong thing to do, used to be just common decency. Times have changed I guess.
