I don't get these comments. If your only interested in graphics, then by all means buy it on pc ps5 or xbox. No one cares. If you are happy to take a hit on graphics and sometimes performance, to play it anywhere, then you're in the right place. For those complaining about downloads, just buy a decent sd card and then you have the additional downloads forever. These companies are bringing these games out to make money, not as a favour to us. You've got the box for your collection if that's important. Most people who bought a switch knew what they were buying and if they thought it would look like a ps5 at this point or a 1000 quid gaming pc, they should've done some research

Re: "I Don't Think The Switch Needs A More Powerful Version" Says 'World War Z' Lead Designer

@Martijn87 I really hope nintendo have the foresight to ensure the eshop and games libraries we are building are playable on future hardware. They sold 100 million wiis and are on course to do it again here but I have my doubts that they can capture that again if it means starting from scratch. Animal crossing and the covid perfect storm played a big part in the numbers imo, and nintendo shouldn't bank on everyone just abandoning switch for whatever comes in the future

Re: Nintendo Leaker Suggests Pricing Of Switch Online's Expansion Pack Could Be Tied To "Licensing Costs"

I can't make my mind up what to do on this at all. On the one hand, it's at least half as much again as I was hoping for. On the other hand £60 a Year is not a lot of money to me. Unfortunately my wife and daughter both saw this direct and can't wait for the dlc and I admittedly would love to play some stuff I inexplicably missed 1st time around, majora, paper mario and banjo to name 3. My real problem is the message it sends nintendo by going along with it. Ps plus games aren't often up to much, but gamepass really has raised the bar and this N/O isn't in the same league as game pass. Honestly, a netflix model or cloud gaming is not going to go away and my belief is it will be the future, like it or not. I've never bought a cloud game myself but cannot see how a rental or digital model, coupled with the potential environmental savings of not manufacturing and distributing physical games wont become a factor or convenient excuse as well. Obviously there are server overheads and maintenance etc to consider. Why they couldn't just prove the doubters wrong and come in at lower than expected price and give value above and beyond is really disappointing , especially with the captive audience they have some how worked for themselves again

I finally crumbled and pre-ordered mine. Black and white (as I'm a hull fc fan). Gonna 'treat' my missus to my oem switch so she can finally stop moaning about not being able to play her lite on the tv 😀
