I lost some of my saves while switching from my launch Switch 1 from 2017 to a new Switch 1. That includes Smash Ultimate, Tears of the kingdom, Pokemon Brilliant Diamond, Metroid Prime Remastered, Paper Mario Origami, Super Mario RPG. It was not a nice experience to be honest. Nintendo doesn't take our save data very seriously...
With Switch 1 I had to deal with random joycon disconnections from day 1 to this day. I sent it to repair only to get charged 35 euros for replacing the rails which didn't solve the issue. Let's not mention the drift, which they solved and still works fine to this day, but it will come back eventually and it's not solved on the new console. Will never fall again for Ninty's early adopter scam
I won't buy it on day one, will wait for more games that are worth the investment. Maybe wait a bit how that keycard format develops, clarify what they have done to avoid drift issues and know more about Kirby Air Riders, next Zelda, Metroid Prime 4 release date etc. But don't get me wrong, I am really hyped for it but not in a hurry 👍🏻
As an arcade racing fan I am very curious to know more about Kirby Air Riders which is scheduled for 2025. I also need the Metroid Prime 4 release date but I really hope they won't spoil anything else about the game 🙏🏻
I was really angry when they killed the virtual console, but thanks to that I discovered SNES emulation and hacks on my laptop. Hacks are amazing and I would never be able to play those on the Virtual Console anyway.
For the same reasons Nintendo will never release an N64 mini, because they found a way to monetize those old games under a subscription model. Now Sega wants to do the same, he even expressed his interest in taking the Netflix route recently. I am not criticizing that choice, which I find completely legit. I am just pointing out the real meaning behind this man's words about embracing modern gamers
That just shows how Nintendo is paving it's own path and don't care at all about their rivals. They are at another level completely. Nintendo does what anyothersdon't.
I would pay 400 for it if it has enough power to run all third party triple A games and is still portable and can connect to a monitor. If I need to buy a second console for those games like happened with the Switch I will think about it. But if they release a new F-zero I will buy it at any price...
I just played for two days, got first place and never touched it again. I will give it another try to the new "classic mode" because I didn't enjoy so much random chaos.
I can't believe it's been 25 years since I grabbed Ocarina of time on day one. I still have the console and games here. The forest temple heavily twisted my mind forever, the music with those clock sounds, grown up link with the master sword, the hookshot, the ghosts, Phantom Ganon... also loved the water temple. What a game, it changed my life.
I understand their point because it's true that this acquisition won't affect Nintendo the same way, the switch has an incredibly strong first party support in both quality and quantity and it's success doesn't depend so much on others, but saying that it's not a rival to xbox and ps is plain wrong
