A little bit disappointed that Zelda will use a sword in some situations, I would have liked Nintendo to stick to the concept of solving problems creatively instead.

IMHO 3H is a vastly superior game, even though Engage has more tactical options. I finished 3H twice with two different houses, I wasn't interested enough by Engage to finish it.

@Teksetter Save data is not shared between physical and digital version of the same game, I faced the same issue with The Binding of Isaac.

@OldGamer999 I think it's actually the opposite. The more limited is the hardware, the more creative developers must be.

Look at most AAA games on PS5/X: most of the money is thrown into 3D models and high-res textures. Because budgets are not unlimited, this money is not used to create innovative games, and they still cost so much that they don't take any risk and reuse the same open world formula again and again, resulting in mostly boring games. Now even games that sell millions of copies are sometimes considered as failures because of development costs.

I don't think Nintendo IPs are held back by limited hardware, I rather think that they are so fun and innovative because the hardware is limited.

To summarize: They were not able to fix the technical issues, so they are adding a mode to degrade graphics which are already not great on Switch? This is level 0 of optimization.

@TotalHenshin SaGa Scarlet Grace has one of the best combat system I've ever played in a JRPG, if not the best one. If Emerald Beyond uses the same system, yes, it's really an excellent combat system.

@_fatto_katto_ I've gone digital regarding music because nowadays you can buy FLAC files with an audio quality at least that of a CD and there's no DRM, once you've downloaded your files you 100% own them.

As for games, my main concern is that I don't control digital games. I can't make backups, I have no guarantee to be able to redownload them if needed and I can't lend them.

Really interested by this game, but the price is a bit too high so I'll wait for a discount.

Loved Scarlet Grace, hope the Switch version will be good.

@OrtadragoonX Yeah right, GTA Trilogy looked SO MUCH better than its trailer.

@SpaceboyScreams Where did I say that the trailer wasn't rendered using the game engine? We just have no idea what the game engine will look like two years from now, nor what hardware it will take to run that trailer in real-time. The PS5 version may even not be on par with the trailer.

AFAICT, we've just seen a trailer for GTA VI with no gameplay sequence and a release date set to maybe 18 months from now. Maybe everyone is a little bit too enthusiastic about this game, thinking the trailer precisely reflects what the released game will look like.

How many times have we seen a game with graphics far from what it looked like in the trailer released years before?

I'm really interested in the game, but with so little gameplay available a just a few days before its releaseI think it's better to wait for reviews.

My Switch is for gaming first, but I frequently use the YouTube app to watch videos on my TV and it works really well.

I wouldn't mind having more streaming apps, that doesn't hurt anyone since you don't have to download and use them, but then the Switch would really benefit from the kind of feature you find on the Xbox that allows you to have multiple suspended apps at the same time. Sometimes I would like to use the YouTube app but I don't because I would have to quit my suspended game.

@Twilite9 Animal Crossing is a good game in its own right, but it also came out at the right time when in many countries people were stuck at home due to COVID 19 and wanted to play a peaceful, cosy game.

@Yoshinator At some point the bundle itself will go on sale. I've already seen the 3-4 bundle cheaper than 3+4 when all three were on sale.

Shiren 5 on Switch has very nice 2D graphics, this one... meh.

@EriXz @Daniel36 No, since the announcement they made it clear it is not retroactive and reinstalls do no count.

@Bunkerneath Nothing is going to happen, it was a joke from the developper. They are not going to shut it down.

While I understand the new license can be an issue for free-to-play games, paying 0.2$ per game sold & installed doesn't seem that much for a pay-to-play game. Developing your own engine will cost you much more than that, except for big studios who can afford it and use it in multiple games.
