I'm gonna be the d*ck. If I was his parent I would have refused it because it would be a learning experience for him to learn to be more aware if his things and surroundings. That's several hundred dollars down the drain. Some of us grew up with little so we learned quick to appreciate and take care of the things we did have.
Unlike most people the controls never bothered me and I could play for hours with no hand cramping. That being said a port that supported the dual stick controls would be everything. It is such a beautiful game that really utilized the 3D effect to the fullest.
Once I got into shiny hunting it renewed my interest in the series and I wasn't even losing my interest at the time. It does add another element to the game with all the different shiny hunting methods across each game.
I mostly play in handheld so the always-on-gyro is a bit concerning especially if it interferes with capturing since that seems to be a bigger emphasis in these games.
I'm almost 300 hours into MHGU and it's pretty much all I play right now. I've barely scratched the endgame stuff as well. My friends that got into MH with World pretty much topped out at 150 hours and have moved on to other things.
I remember a youtube getting in an argument with one of his subscribers during a livestream on whether BoTW is a port or not. It started on the Wii U and was held back for the switch so that definitely makes it a port in my opinion.
A $60 game that based on past experience I will be investing 300+ hours into seems fair to me. I'm getting more content than generations and more free dlc.
@Quarth I am in the same boat. I've been a mostly Nintendo console owner but mainly there handhelds so I'm getting the opportunity to play a lot of games I missed out on when they first came out on other systems.
I played a little of this with a friend recently, not sure if it's for me but a big hitter like this on the switch is a good thing and have personally seen people double dip just because of the portability of the system. It really does change the game for some people.
Switch is my only home console and my gaming previously was on Nintendo handhelds. So for me it's been a good year since I'm even getting to play games I missed on other consoles. I understand that's not the case for everyone but for me personally I'm satisfied and 2019 is looking even better. I'm currently working through a backlog. I finished Battle Chasers and just started Ys VIII. Octopath will be next and maybe sneak in Shining Resonance before Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate but who knows.
@HipsterInkling lol wtf are you talking about? There is plenty of decades old racism in every country including europe and asia. The slave trade started with Europeans for goodness sake.
As a black man I appreciate the sensitivity to racial tensions but that's clearly Ash dressed as a Pokemon. Now things like Jynx...that's another story.

Re: Masahiro Sakurai Rules Out A Modern Port Of Kid Icarus: Uprising
Ugh I'm so disappointed. That game really deserved a second chance. It did manage a million sales globally so I was hopeful there was a chance.

They could have used the "story" from 4U and had something decent but noooo.
Re: Director Junichi Masuda Explains Why Eevee Is One Of The Stars In Pokémon Let's Go
Eevee's evolution gimmick is what fuels the popularity and then they give you one you can't evolve as your partner.

Re: Review: Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate (Switch)
A $60 game that based on past experience I will be investing 300+ hours into seems fair to me. I'm getting more content than generations and more free dlc.
