I keep hearing the Nintendo gamers antic about frame rate who don't care that much about 60 fps. Smooth 60 fps is really matter in this era, it's not just about fun gameplay. Is 60 fps really important to me? Yes, definitely. Take a look Fantasy Life I, with 60 fps on huge area Ginormosia.
Better NO Amiibo required to unlock the specific stuffs. This is what happened if you keep defending Nintendo's antics to play the games. Nintendo's antics will make the gameplay even convoluted because they want to show uniqueness but in unnecessary way. Do you still want to defend that antics?
I personally still prefer Chris Pratt voice as Mario than Charles Martinet.
I like his soft tone voice as Mario and not too much Italian gimmick voice like Charles Martinet did.
I never understand with hyper idealism from Ubisoft CEO who expecting ultra huge sales from their games with lazy effort.
When the sales number didn't meet the expectation, the developers got closed.
That's a predatorial behavior.
That Ubisoft CEO must get fired for harming the gaming industry by lay off.
@Metazoxan We will see about that. If the lower size game cartridge didn't solve the lazy excuse of third party developers to keep using game key card, I will going further with my Retro route.
@The_Nintendo_Expat Well, the Retro games I'm looking for currently such as PS2, PS3, Wii, NDS, 3DS, PS VITA, PSP, Wii U. Currently I have interest to get more PS2 / NDS /3DS games I have never played before such as Cartoon / Movie franchise to video games, unique Japanese Rhythm games. I also getting RPG games I have never played before from PS3 such as FF 13-2, Lightning Returns, White Knight Chronicles 1+2, etc.
At this point, I'm going Retro route by getting older games or video game machines I have never played before when Switch 2 price getting higher, the game key card issue that made me less interested with Switch 2. I said less interested.
Good night. This weekend I played something unusual. I have never played this game before but I tried to get some different experience. I played LIGHTNING RETURNS: FINAL FANTASY XIII PS3.
Something that really different from general JRPG which you given by deadline to save the world before the doomsday in 13 days.
Using AI or not, I think I will not introduce gadgets to my baby too early if I am the parent. I will introduce with books or actual toys, the non electronic devices to develop their brain and give attachment with non gadget stuffs in younger age. Kids nowadays get attached too much with gadgets. We can change that situation, it back to us.
@CammyUnofficial Of course. I'm looking for Switch 2 that qualified with these criteria. 1. The games (1st party & 3rd party) Must be game card. NO BS game key card, code in box, partial download, streaming only. 2. White bundle Switch 2 3. New Animal Crossing games for Switch 2. 4. More 3rd party KIDS games on Switch 2 with game card release.
@FlamingBird At least Nintendo can make it White outside, pastel color inside. Looks way much better. Black color for gaming device doesn't even look interesting for me.
I'm not sure that Super Power gimmick will be a good idea for me. It looks fun for a while but then it will be annoying when I have to catch the ball quickly.
I don't like the Black color outside and the pastel color inside. It should be Pastel color outside since I don't like Black color for my gaming device.
@ElkinFencer10 Fortunately, all my PS5 games purchase in physical don't have update require to run the games. They are playable right after installation from disc and I only play kids games that didn't even get treatment of update mandatory to run the games.
@Charlirnie I mean why surprised? Nintendolife provided with every released version as the polling choice. I chose PS5 version because the game have game data inside the disc. The game key card has no game data at all, I refuse to buy empty cartridge that will be a junk and unplayable in the future.
@Randomarcadedude I don't want digital only games. I have ever bought very cheap digital games from PS Store / eshop but everytime I bought them, I never played them again after playing them for several minutes just for testing the games. It just wasted my money. It doesn't feel exist for me when playing digital only games considering I have played with physical games a lot and it became attached with physical media to play the games.
@siavm PS5 games still have game data inside the disc but game key card has no game data inside. That's the huge difference. I refuse to purchase game cartridge without any game data inside. It's simply a scam product to me.
I still prefer using Mii with customizable looking and outfits. Not a fan of random minor characters from other Mario games that doesn't even look fit to do tennis.
We will not see FF IX Remake. If there will be FF IX Remake, probably done by AI because you know.... corporate greed, replace the human with AI just for the sake of embracing the technology in the wrong way.
Not interested at all with online only gameplay and you still have to pay more for 1 month to play online. I would like to see the OFFLINE version treatment just like Dragon Quest 10 OFFLINE version with completely different looking character from realistic to Chibi looking.
Oh, it will be game key card for Switch 2 version.
It's KONAMI anyway....
They will cheap out.
Why the heck KONAMI still haven't make DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION for modern console??
They made the PC version instead (DDR GRAND PRIX) with DDR A3 interface, all songs directly from DDR WORLD and still have to subscribe online service to play the game.
@Pillowpants But there is NO cartoonish boxing games I really looking for on modern console so far. I'm frustrated to hope any developer still willing to make good cartoonish boxing games for modern console, not for handphone. If you look at current avatar, you will see how desperate I am to want at least one cute cartoonish boxing game like Animal Boxing NDS on modern console.
@SuperBro64 But only by 1 vs 1 fight, not by 3 vs 3 fight like standard turn based RPG. Current Pokemon games are 1 vs 1 fight so the importance of having Healer / Saboteur Pokemon in team just will never happened unless the battle is 3 vs 3 so you can have 1 Healer Pokemon and 1 Saboteur Pokemon in your team

Re: Japanese Charts: Nintendo's Dominance Continues As Switch 2 Flies Past 4 Million Units Sold

Re: Opinion: I'm Happy amiibo Survived The Console Jump, But These Unlocks Are Getting Silly

This is what happened if you keep defending Nintendo's antics to play the games.

Do you still want to defend that antics?
