I mean not allowing cloud saves is still dumb, “genned” pokemon are still happening so the only people affected by this are people who play without genned pokemon.
@JohnnyMind the Crew’s 1 server going offline (had a singleplayer but was always online/online only campain) started ubisofts downfall. As you couldnt be sure how long you were able to play your game.
Already to late to see the price defenders, yeah yeah games were also more expensive in my country around the SNES/N64 time but did you also consider that the sales were way lower then?
Why are you guys defending a billion dollar company @Darkthany ? Nintendo could have created goodwill in these times by upholding their old prices (atleast for the software part) , do you really the complaining right now is good PR for Nintendo?
I think a 3DS situation will happen. The initial wave will sell out fast but I think with these prices adoption will happen less faster than with the Switch 1. People are fed up with higher prices everywhere and a 10/20 dollar increase per (digital) game/accessoire is not helping Big N.
@Lofoten because they are broke, or do not wanna pay even if they have money because of a multitude of reasons I can think off. Im sure you are able to think of the reasons too.
@Flashlink99 being politically correct has nothing to do with what I said. Anyway it is forbidden to sexually assault (a person) a women yet that did happen en large in subway stations. Unless you dont see groping people as unrespectful.
But I would agree that they are more respectful in general over there.
@Flashlink99 please enlighten me then, if people if Japan are raised to be respectfull, why are there different (subway) trains for women? Hint, it is the same reason as other countries like Brazil, India & Egypt.
No country is without their issues, people need to stop glazing over Japan. Yes it is annoying for Nintendo that people broke their rule, a very simple rule.
@Zeebor15 maybe some of the devs were playing a lot of lego games at home and tried to make something of a early concept/demo of some sorts, showed it colleagues and here we are.
Lego games are already skins over a (insert IP) with the same gameplay as the previous entry, the lego movies were a succes so maybe there is market for this.
I personally would’t care if this became bigger, but the cards would not became this expensive if they just made more re-released of older cards. They finally did this somewhat but I mean, they had this coming for ‘em.
Honestly I wanted a full cup of missing rainbow roads. Still I’m happy with the maps and the whole dlc package it self. Best DLC nintendo made of all of their games and one of the best DLC’s I have bought and in gaming in general, they even added more characters!
@Pandaman the word “latinx” in in the title and it tries to describe a certain group of the world whom do not liked the be called that way. There is no way this is not going to be discussed, for now it comments still are civil.
@Debo626 “ Myself and every Latino person I know despise the word "Latinx.”
Same, pretty much only people from LGBTQ+ care. No one in my family or friends (latin) use it, they also do not want to called that.
The spanish language is gendered but is that really bad, do these people only want the use that term and in long term try to make our language gender neutral. Nevertheless the cause seems good but the name… ugh it feels like pandering straight outta left wing USA
@Shinnos New super mario bros deluxe toadette is able to pick a super-pink-mushroom with a crown on it. When she picks it up she turns into peachette. See it as the “funky” mode of super mario because picking her up wil make the game easier.
@mariomaster96 gamers will always complain, we got 4 instead of 2 and it still is not good enough for some people. Damned if nintendo does it, damned if they don’t.
@smoreon the have many wii (u) games and gamecube (not motion ofc) and 3dsthat don’t even require the use of motion or 3d because that one was kinda always optional.
A small list of possible games/port/remasters
Metroid prime 2/3 F-zero GX Luigis mansion 1 Waverace (blue storm) Eternal darkness Starfox adventure/assault Wind waker Twilight princes Paper mario thousand year door or the other one Mario sports game (baseball/soccer/football) Fire emblem (any) Chibi robo Super mario galaxy 2 Sin & punishment Kirbys epic yarn Donkey country returns Rhythm fever (any) Kid icarus Fire emblem (any)
Quite a list and have not listed all series.
Most of these games could just do with a simple port.
Would love for this to happen to the next console/handheld. Also hoping for joycon rails on the unit itself to be upside down, so you can’t slide them off (upwards).
@Switch_Pro they should make, imo, a separate list of 2d and 3(.5)D games. If I hear most beautiful switch games I think about 3(.5)D games that push the switch limits, like MH Rise, Zelda.
I mean sure cuphead or rayman legends are one the most pretty games ever but they sure don’t push hardware as much as MH rise or Nier or Dragon Ball fighterZ do.
@somnambulance like with every product or service: The people who enjoy it are the ones you least likely to hear off.
I’ve been gaming myself for about ~21 years now and have never played Skyrim myself but have heard many times about the many bugs. But at some point I just draw a line and quit with a game and the performance of Scarlet & Violet is to blame.
How am I supposed to play battles if I cant choose my opponents pokemon? How can anyone defend that.
Anyway if that were to be fixed: if you are a competitive player like I’ve been for many years you’d notice that making comp. teams is more time consuming now. The materials are harder to come by, more expensive with in game money (for ev training) and ability patches are very scarce. You can get huge quantities at the auction but it's random. In sword and shield everything regarding comp playing was way easier imo
@somnambulance “not the mess some people claim?” The things they say are true, you can actually look them up yourself and probably experienced it yourself. If you simply don’t get affected by it thats okay and great. But a lot of others players also just don’t like the technical the game is in (in combination with the lack op patches)
While it’s personal I don’t see how people have more fun with this than Sword & Shield and even those were bad imo.
Scarlet & Violet are so darn bugged. I have literally saved/filmed gameplay with my (ranked) battles where I could see not my screen due it being covered with flame effects of the game itself. Normally the effects happens when loading or something.
Let alone the rest of the bugs/framerates problems.
I can’t see it beating the ds, maybe if a price cut comes. Except for Mario Bros Wonder I don’t see heavy hitters, I think most people got a switch by now. Holiday will move more units but that many before a new one comes out? Nintendo does not release many games on their (by then in 2024) older consoles.
@YoshiF2 people keep saying this but keep forgetting that there always is something new coming out, most people want something new, and to keep producing something with old chips also gets expensive.
Not only that but even though the ps2 sold more then 100 million just like the 3ds/ps4/wii etc. did. They always still announce new consoles, because of a number of reasons.
According to your logic there never should have been a next console after the wii, ps2 etc.Strike while the iron is still hot.
@HotGoomba honestly, im not tired but I do see a bit of not posted content being positive for xbox on purexbox and being postive for sony on pushsquare.
For proof, look up Jim Ryans (early) email about not having COD anymore on PS, you won’t find it but on Purexbox you will.
Of course the writers will probably say something about this not laying in the interest of our readers, while having overlapping users of their 3 platforms.
Then the fans go defend their favourite multi billion company. Hookshot just gets a lot of clicks about this so I can understand them. But they (right or wrongfully) do keep this going.
Ontopic: Would love COD on the switch but still need 60 fps, I understand the visuals taking a hit. But just start slowly with
@HOUSE i dont think cod be coming to this version of the switch but i bet its gonna be on the next iteration. Have said it years ago i would play the heck out of cod zombies (wow, bo1 and 3).
@HolyGeez03 got the switch pro grip thingy but it just ads bulk. I also don’t really like sillicone grips, tested them out on an other switch but thank you for the suggestion nonetheless.
If it’s a switch 2 I really hope they improve on ergonomics, holding the switch up for a long period cramp up my hands. I also hope for 120 fps support.
@Clyde_Radcliffe yeah I know, I did not even meant the switch specifically but I mean all platforms in general. I also think that GF needs more people and/or take a longer time, just like Team Sonic, to develop their games (and specifically for the switch).
Can they make a game without a bazillion bugs first please and also without looking like trash with as they said “years of experience” it should be possible right?
@Not_Soos there are way too many issues with 3d on tv’s: passive or active glasses, low brightness, no glasses etc. Lowers framerate by half the original and often times just not was implemented well. This was even often the case in cinemas where they added the 3d effect later on instead of filming with 2 camera’s. James Cameron did that with Avatar and was a superb example of good 3d implemitatio.
@FightMikes I have over 40 or 50 physical switch games and 10 or so digital, but why would you assume I would emulate them? Thats just a strawman right there.
I’m planning to use it for gamecube titles that I own physically.
And your “comparison” is really bad, walking with a gun (in public) is forbidden. (most places in the world I reckon) Emulating is just not illegal.
I am going to buy this thing, mostly for emulation I think. And emulation is not illegal nintendo. Youtube should actually watch the content that marked as wrong/illegal by the people or companies that strike those vids.
