@JohnE or you have lower standards than the average Joe. For me even with switch or phone with 5g wireless by the router I find the lag unplayable in any cloud system
@SonOfVon ok, but what is the big deal about it? There are plenty of reviews of the switch version out there. They are not obliged to do a review if they don't want it
I have played it first time in 2019 and enjoyed my time with it. Have no problems with the narrative and portrait of samus. The game has some very good (and hard) boss fights but it works fairly poorly on the sideways Wii remote. In the end is a middle of run entry (not groundbreaking but also not a shame in the series)
Size wise the pro controller is perfect for me. My only problem with it is the dpad that sucks (had to go for handheld or "dog" to play Castlevania collection)
@Cia running as double tap does not bother me but I would prefer to special weapons to have a proper button instead of up + attack. I can understand not having it on GBA but in these collection it would be a welcome improvement imo
First time playing metroidvania titles of this series (the common games from NES and SNES are pretty much unplayable in my book). I am now about midway through circule of the moon and I am enjoying it.
I have finish it on gamepass and it is alright. Nothing special but I enjoyed it and actually was looking for more when the credits rolled (which in itself can be seen as pro or con)
I started collecting in 2018 and right now I have about 100 physical games across switch, 3ds, ds, gba, Wii U, wii, gamecube, Xbox and Xbox 360. Altough not a big collection at the moment i have to refer that when I started my only system was the switch
Edit: I like to have the games and consoles exposed on my living room and also I only bought games I want to play (but have to say I don't play them very often)
P.s: and I have to add about 6 mega drive games that I have from when I was young
I have played 2h so far and have made some good progress. The story looks cool so far but as mentioned in the review the combat is very strange in comparison with the original and so far for me it has been very difficulty to fight without being hit and I have definitely been missing the awesome weapons from the first game. It is hard to imagine it will take me 15h to finish the game as I have already 21% of the não explored and 19% of the itens found though. p.s: anyone on the fence on the first game due to the artstyle you are missing a masterpiece where even the artstyle has a deep meaning
This is my most anticipated game from now on!! I even bought a xenoblade Chronicles X disc yesterday even though I don't have a Wii U (in case they never port it and as the disc version is kind of rare around here)
@WhiteUmbrella the sales have slowdown in comparison with last year when lockdown started and animal crossing exploded. If you compare it with any other 2nd quarter is at least more than double... Also you are comparing end sales of all other generations with the still live and kicking switch ones... There is nothing that you are talking that is not absolute ***** trolling I am afraid
@WhiteUmbrella loooool, this is the funniest joke I ever read in my life... Not only switch is still one of the best selling consoles with 52 weeks on the market, it has not yet slowdown and regardless if it stopped right now it would already be very successfully in terms of hardware as software
@Peach64 as long as it has support it will sell and Next year you already have announced a new style Pokémon game and sequels to Zelda and splatoon on top of anything still to reveal (DK, Mario, MK, etc...)
I agree with IGN and GameSpot on this one hence why I am not buying it. Yes, the original control scheme sucks but that is far from being even its biggest issues. The qol features are welcome but at least for me is not enough (also I played it for the first time in 2019 so it is still fresh in my memory)
@RCGamer same for me. I had drift in two left Joy cons and a pro and every single one never got the problem back after (some of them more than two years ago)
Two games I own and played to death on the mega drive are Taz mania and Asterix and the great rescue. Even at the time I could see their flaws but I mastered them and had a lot of fun with it
@moodycat actually many were pointing to 2022 from the get go and only after bloomberg's report you started to hear more 2021 overall. In the end who knows? But I still wouldn't be surprised with a slight power overall with dlss output in the near future (but not PS4/PS4 pro level as many speculated)
Actually I have played many times in places like this as I was waiting for someone to be ready to leave house or something similar (like on bus stop, or by the entrance to a restaurant/cinema, etc.)
I would like to know how many are buying into this type of release. I am absolutely not interested but so far it is still coming so at least a few thousands must be selling
Can't wait for the 25th to start the game (I feel like I would definitely buy it but these demos from the start of the game are awesome to make sure it is a game for you)
@Ghost_of_Hasashi the reason the console sold poorly was not because of first party titles quality. And unfortunately there are still a couple of good games buried on it like the Zelda's or xenoblade. Só let's hope we still have it someday.

Re: Talking Point: Can Metroid Dread Be The Franchise's 'Awakening'?
I believe it willl be at least until prime 4 is released but maybe as prime it will be released late in the Switch's life cycle it won't sell as much
Re: UK Charts: Monster Hunter Stories 2 Earns Third-Place Debut In Another Decent Week For Nintendo

Re: Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Will Have "Various Quality-Of-Life Enhancements", Nintendo Says
@Ghost_of_Hasashi the reason the console sold poorly was not because of first party titles quality. And unfortunately there are still a couple of good games buried on it like the Zelda's or xenoblade. Só let's hope we still have it someday.
Re: Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Will Have "Various Quality-Of-Life Enhancements", Nintendo Says
@Ghost_of_Hasashi because no one bought a Wii U so there is not really HD versions of WW and TP available which are much better games
