@NinjaWaddleDee Agreed. Nintendo nailed it with the Pro Controller. I only use the JoyCons when I need to use motion.

@thinkhector If you have to put something in two different pockets it makes it LESS portable than something that doesn't need to be disassembled. The Switch Lite is more "pocket friendly" than the OG Switch. Not sure how that logic works.

@NintendoEternity The Steam Deck is far more comfortable than the Switch. Going back to the Switch cramps my hands and the analog sticks are so imprecise. I have to use my Hori pads for the Switch when in handheld mode now. The Steam Deck is here to stay. It's already outsold its Steam Machines and the demand is incredibly high. Don't talk about something you have no experience in. You've never held a Steam Deck or used one.

I own 120+ physical Switch games, so I'm not a hater, but the Steam Deck is just better built physically. Let's be honest. The Switch is just a tablet with uncomfortable controllers slapped on the side.

No hope for this. Rambo is one of the worst games ever made and Terminator is pretty awful.

I finished this last week on PC. It's not that stunning. It's about 2 hours long and super forgettable. There's zero story and character development. 6/10. The gunplay is solid, but there are only four weapons and the upgrades are an afterthought thanks to the short length.

If you don't die much you can probably scream through it in 90 minutes to be honest.

I'll just play the original on Steam Deck.

@nessisonett Thanks for ruining my night

Can't beat a PSP Go on an official Sony dock. Now THAT's a useless digital clock.

The delay was well worth it last year. I got this on Xbox One and it's fantastic. My son really enjoys watching me play. I grew up with all these games as they came out (through my teen years) and can finally play them all back to back.

Sonic went to crap when it went to 3D. Sonic Adventure is a terrible game. It may have a quirky "early-3D" feel to it, but I hated it back then and it's playable with QOL mods on PC. Some people can't see the game past rose-colored nostalgia glasses. The only good 3D Sonic I've played is Generations and Colors. I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I've felt this since I was 10 years old back when the Dreamcast was alive and kicking.

I'm sure there are minor exceptions here and there, but jank camera, crappy controls, terrible combat, awful stories, recycled content, dated visuals, and glitches galore.

The 2D games aren't off the hook either. How many times do they need to be remastered or redone? Just give us a 4K version that runs at 60FPS and call it a day already.

Getting through Horizon: Zero Dawn Complete Edition on PC finally. I keep starting and stopping it. Have been doing that since launch day on PS4. I just reinstalled Final Fantasy XIV Online and need to still get through the base content. I just bought KOTOR II on Switch as I never played it on Xbox. I own it and never got around to it. I'm also playing Star Trek: Voyager - Elite Forces on PC with high-res texture mods and QOL improvements. Pretty solid Quake II engine shooter. Pretty long game it seems as well. 43 missions? Probably going to take a while.

@Silly_G They can you just don't have to be a womanizer to do it.

Oh man, they really came out in the comments. Anyone using the term "woke" is giving away what they really are...

@shgamer Youngblood is pretty bad. You're going to be disappointed. Worst Wolfenstein in the series.

@Debbiee The issue with this is that collect-a-thon games died out ages ago. It's considered an "ancient" game design method and a lot of developers abused this to pad games with filler. It's the same as how the HD era of gaming was full of crappy open-world games that were uninteresting. It would probably get crapped on after the nostalgia high went away because of its "dated" design. They would have to remake it from the ground up like Spyro or Crash I think to really win over newer gamers.

Everyone is tired of lazy HD ports. Those were nice with the Xbox 360 and PS3, but there's no excuse today. They'd have to remake it to garner good sales and reviews.

It will also come to PC most likely so you don't have to buy an Xbox. After Nuts & Bolts I doubt anyone has any faith in this game. I personally have zero faith in Rare since they were bought by Microsoft. It all started with how awful Perfect Dark Zero was and went downhill from there.

@JustMonika Bethesda never re-releases older games ever. I don't think it's ever going to happen. It takes a lot of time to port huge games like that and it takes a lot of money. They may not see it selling well enough. Who knows, we can be surprised tomorrow with the Bethesda conference. I'll eat my own words if they announce it. You forget that those games you mentioned were hand-tailored for the Switch. They weren't just straight ports and they were newer games.

Skyrim already had an updated engine when it was ported, and had been worked on extensively with a 64-bit engine. Also, said games run pretty poorly on Switch outside of Skyrim. Really low frame rates, playable, but far from great, and they took a serious visual hit. I know that Switch owners don't care bout this, but some do. It's just the Bethesda way.

I still have my OG Xbox copy. I never got far into it so I guess I'll hold off and play the remaster.

@JustMonika Never happening. The Switch isn't powerful enough for this and it wouldn't sell. Bethesda usually doesn't port older games like that. Skyrim is the only exception.

I smell a cease and desist in the air

Not GoldenEye. It's probably at the bottom of the list for me. Unpopular opinion.

sniff sniff
I smell a cease and desist in the air

@sanderson72 I didn't know they ordered more. I know it wasn't officially discontinued, but I haven't seen one in a store in a couple of years.

My wife just got fired for standing up against management performing unsafe practices. "Disrespect to management" was their excuse. Literally, no prior issues on the job weren't taken into consideration. No private sit down. Nothing. Just fired.

That's American work life. Shut up and do what you're told or they will hire someone who will. How the jerks get into management is beyond me and the good managers always leave.

@ButterCashier Found the person who didn't grow up with handhelds. They're called handheld consoles. Always been and always will be.

Naka is a one hit wonder. He made Sonic and that was it. Every game after has been a failure. He's honestly a terrible game designer. The only other game I would exclude is Nights. He got lucky there and just barely.

Sony has also stopped producing PS4s to focus on the PS5 due to chip shortages. When was the last time you saw a new PS4 anywhere? It's been over 2 years.

@Rayquaza2510 What dark side? I feel this is a boogie-man impatient or broke gamers came up with. It's like a Kickstarter. They aren't EA who can produce 2 million units and have hundreds of different stores by them up and make a profit whether they sell or not.

There are also figure companies that do this. First4Figures production runs can take over a year. They have to use the money from the pre-orders to make the products. JUST THOSE. That's it. The products are then molded, cast, and hand painted in China then shipped elsewhere. There's also a line for these things too. Many companies use these plants in China.

@Freek I feel the impatient or broke people rag on LRG. Their collector's editions are incredibly unique and cool. They warn you ahead of time that production can take 6+months. If I'm super desperate to play the game I'll buy the digital version while I'm waiting. Clearly with how big they are the complainers are not the majority.

I LOVE LRG. I have many pre-orders even pending now and the wait is worth it. The money you spend goes into the actual production like a Kickstarter and these are done in small quantities. It's not that hard to comprehend. They are a small company. If they produced stuff en masse and just had it sitting around there's no telling how it would sell and they would go bankrupt. People rag on LRG, but there are plenty of others who do this. Super Rare Games, Strictly Limited Games and many more. Once the pre-order window is over the money gets used to produce that exact amount of copies. They don't benefit AT ALL from scalpers or limiting their games to small windows. They get no profit from that.

@RareFan Because your money goes into the actual production. Like a Kickstarter. They need the money from pre-orders for the production to actually start. I don't understand how this is a big secret or no one understands this.

I played it back when it released on Wii and remember not caring for it much. It was pretty forgettable. I think Midna was the most memorable thing about that game. I can't remember a single dungeon or area.

Just got a 3080ti GPU now that cards are back down to MSRP. I waited out the pandemic and scalpers and it paid off. Other than that. Trying to finish Metroid Dread.

Fan fiction making the front page. Only on NintendoLife!

Dying Light was the first good open world zombie game that did it right. I got this on day one for PS4 and loved every bit of it. Helped me get through some ***** room mate situations back then.

The hate is over rated to be honest. It's not that bad.

@EarlyBird94 Sadly, without health insurance mental health help is nearly impossible to get so it's inaccessible to most who need it.

Sleep. I work 50 hours a week and don't have the energy for much gaming these days. I'm going to ATTEMPT to get some progress in Borderlands 3.

@ParadoxFawkes It's okay to admit you're poor. We've all been there or are there right now. Seems therapy is in your future.

I collect video games. I have over 2,000 of them and have my entire collection insured. So, am I just filling a void in my heart oh fortune teller?

@RendoFonzarelli That won't work for every mental health disorder. "Stop playing games and get out!" isn't the magic wand we all need. Some people need the opposite. Some people may have to socialize a lot and want to escape from that such as jobs that deal with the public all day or those who have a social anxiety.

@ATaco Same. Emulated it many times and even bought it for 3DS. Can't get through it.

@Anti-Matter How is that relevant to the post?

Wish I could just play games in general. Right now I'm playing my PS1 (Parasite Eve II) in between 50 hour work weeks and only getting 10 hours of sleep on the weekends. (Total for the ENTIRE weekend. Not per day)

Who doesn't own a Switch today? I know people who don't play games really who have one. We have 5 of them in our house alone. It's also a great jumping in point as the Switch has the best exclusives and most diverse library of any console right now. If you don't care about state of the art visuals the Switch is golden.

@Silly_G It also ran like complete ***** and looked like ***** too. The PS3 and Xbox 360 versions were almost unplayable.

@bonjong23 That doesn't make sense as HDMI 2.0 came out almost a decade ago. Makes me think it's non-4K TVs maybe or just cheaper low-end models. I've never seen this blackout issue.

You don't even need HDMI 2.0 with the Switch so it was either cheaper to ship these or some other reason. HDMI 2.0 is for 4K output and 3D. It was introduced almost a decade ago, so it would be interesting to know if these are non-4K TVs causing this issue.

G4TV still exists? I haven't watched cable TV since I moved out of my parent's place over a decade ago and G4TV since 2006.

Wii Sports was a product of its time. It was a pack in title, motion controls were brand new, and it was a way to ease players into what they can expect from the Wii. It just doesn't do that for the Switch. Motion controls are old, the Wii's hardware limitations also allowed for Wii Sports to be so limiting, but there's no excuse on the Switch. The charm just doesn't work here. This will be a great budget title. I'd pay maybe $30 for it.

@Tandy255 Well, if you're going for a 100% complete Switch collection that statement is true.
