"we’ve encountered some final technical hurdles and had been waiting for the arrival of Unity 5.6 in order to fix them. Although this has now been released, it has unfortunately introduced other issues."
From the same people that made Test Drive Unlimited, which was unbelievable when it came out 11 years ago. I bought a 360 just for that game and sold my GameCube and DS Lite and all my games just to fund it, that's how good the game was.
I know this game is just a mobile port and it probably handles like a mobile game, but these guys know racing games better than most, so i'm excited for it!
A lot of games have the online multiplayer as a separate download. A couple of the latest Halo games and Uncharted 4 are some examples. It's just part of owning a modern console and should be seen as a good thing. Since online multiplayer is reliant on servers, it makes sense that they don't take up space on your card, since in a few years time that multiplayer option won't exist.
@roadrunner343 It's only because Nintendo are such masters of console design and they've managed to fit all that power into a portable unit that people are getting confused. It's a true hybrid console - not a home console or a portable. Nintendo have changed home consoles forever with the Switch. It's roughly half as powerful as an Xbox One/PS4, but it's only a fraction of the size. The days of standalone consoles sitting under the TV are coming to an end. In the future there will be only PCs and hybrid consoles. Watch this space.
The people calling this game shovelware have no idea what they're talking about. It's a great little racer. The problem is that it's been a free download for years now.
He feels sorry for Nintendo's current situation? Nintendo is doing incredibly well. PS4 is currently on 60 million while Switch is on 5 million after just four months. The Switch is very quickly catching up.
And why do people always say that the Switch is underpowered? It's a very competent home console and as a portable it's the most powerful ever made.
Anyway, who is this guy? I've never played his games.
The PS4 has been out for just under three and a half years in Japan and has sold a little under 5 million. The Switch has been out for four months and has sold over a million. They're some incredible figures. The Switch will almost certainly overtake the PS4 in Japan.
@electrolite77 I'm not saying that everyone who plays FIFA is. Just the non-gamer type that the games are aimed at. The people who buy new consoles just for a new version of the game when there's barely any difference from one game to another.
You guys have seriously overlooked a very important detail. The question was put to Sledgehammer Games, and as far as they are concerned, the game isn't coming to the Switch. Not from their studio anyway. It doesn't mean that another studio isn't porting it, which is still very likely to happen.
The multiplayer reminds me of this from the Wii U reveal trailer. The same kind of multiplayer was in Wii Part U and Pure Chess. I think it suits the Switch.
I'm looking forward to playing Star Fox 2 more than any other game on this console. We could have done without Earthbound, which was never released in the West, so it has no business being on this 'Greatest Hits' console as i like to think of it.

Re: You'll Be Able To Unlock An Exclusive Nintendo Switch Kit In FIFA 18
FIFA is one game where you don't need a review. It's the same every year and we know what this game will be like on Switch. It screams an 8/10 for me.
Re: Stardew Valley Has Been Finalized on Nintendo Switch
This has taken so long to release that i'm no longer interested. Moving on.
Re: LEGO Worlds Just Got a New Update
The draw distance was pretty poor to begin with, and now it's even worse. Great.
Re: L.A. Noire On Switch Will Run At 1080p When Docked, 720p In Handheld Mode
@SLIGEACH_EIRE L.A. Noire is nowhere near as graphically intensive as DOOM is.

Talk about wasting time.
Re: Random: Sega Joins Up With Hooters To Promote Sonic Forces In Japan
I didn't know Hooters operated in Japan. I wonder if the push up bras are provided with the job.
Re: Super Mario Run Has a Major Update and Discount on the Way
The requirement of having a constant internet connection ruins this game. Nice discount though.
Re: Bethesda Says DOOM And Wolfenstein 2 Are "The Start" Of A Nintendo Relationship
Pretty sure it was @Danpal65 that tipped you on this news.

Re: Credit Suisse Forecasts 130 Million Nintendo Switch Sales By 2022
By the end of the 2018 fiscal year it will be on 30 million total sales. In the year afterwards it will sell another 25 million units.

That was laughably poor.
Re: Here's How Much Data You'll Need To Download For NBA 2K18 On Switch
This kind of thing is commonplace on other systems. Get with the times people.
Re: Retail Version of DOOM on Switch Will Need a Download for Online Multiplayer
@QwertyQwerty 32GB isn't great, but when you can buy a 128GB card for £40, it's not that big a deal.
Re: Soapbox: LEGO Worlds on Switch Isn't Exactly a Minecraft Beater
It's still worth having in the collection since there's no other game quite like it.

Re: Mario Party: The Top 100 Will Combine The Best of the Series on 3DS
Never been into Mario Party. Cool Idea though. I'd like a Mario Kart with the top 50 Tracks across all games.
Re: Mario Bros. to Kick Off 'Arcade Archives' Range on Nintendo Switch
Am I the only one who's in no rush for the VC? We've had that for two generations now. Time for something different.
Re: Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus Is Coming To Switch In 2018
2018 is going to be a massive year for Switch. By the end the fiscal year we'll be looking at 30 million units sold, mark my words.
Re: Lost Sphear Launches on 23rd January in the West
Great news! I am Setsuna is one of the best games on the system.
Re: Rogue Trooper Redux Price and Release Window Revealed
There's no reason why this can't be released alongside the last gen versions.
Re: Analysts Expect Nintendo Switch Hybrid to End 'Two-Punch Strategy'
@NEStalgia The Wii U was nowhere near half as powerful. It was barely more powerful than the 360/PS3.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE You've never been right about anything on here.
Re: Analysts Expect Nintendo Switch Hybrid to End 'Two-Punch Strategy'
@SLIGEACH_EIRE If you're ever fortunate enough to own a Switch, you'll realise how wrong you've been for constantly calling it a handheld.
Re: Beach Buggy Racing Screeches Onto Switch Next Week
The people calling this game shovelware have no idea what they're talking about. It's a great little racer. The problem is that it's been a free download for years now.
Re: '90s Super GP Will Be Power Sliding On To Switch Soon
@FragRed By that measure the Switch and Switch 2 will both have a lifespan of less than three years, hahaaaaaha.
Re: '90s Super GP Will Be Power Sliding On To Switch Soon
Wait, this was cancelled on Wii U? I never knew that. Anyway, looking forward to this on Switch. Those graphics should pop on that pretty screen.
Re: The Smaller New Nintendo 3DS is Discontinued Globally - An Era Ends
I'd always pick this one over the XL. The screen resolution and faceplates make it better.
Re: Troll And I Stomps Onto Switch Next Month With A $30 Price Tag
@Paddle1 You're right. I don't know how I missed that.

It's only £19.99 on Amazon. Missed opportunity for an affiliate link there.

Re: Flip Wars - Battle Sports Mekuru in Japan - Arrives on the EU Switch eShop This Week
Looks sweet. And at that price it makes Puyo Puyo Tetris look like a con.
Re: Video: Check Out This Stunning Zelda: Breath of the Wild Custom Switch
Looks beautiful but very uncomfortable to play.
Re: Deals: Get A Great Deal On An Amazon Prime Subscription Ahead Of Prime Day 2017
A £20 saving isn't "enormous."

Re: First Impressions: Kicking Off With FIFA 18 on the Nintendo Switch
FIFA games are garbage and so are the people they're aimed at.
Re: Guns, Gore & Cannoli is Bringing Its Brand of Mayhem to Nintendo Switch
Looks good. Strange that it wasn't released on Wii U though. Doesn't look like it would take too much work to port it.

No thanks. Looks awful.

Wrong. The best racing game ever is DiRT 2.
Re: Video: Nintendo Minute Picks Up Some Pro ARMS Tips from Mr. Yabuki
Motion controls is the only way to play this properly. Trying to click the left analog stick while dodging is impossible.
Re: Star Fox 2 Dev Is As Shocked As You About The Game Coming To SNES Classic Edition
@Darknyht Fair enough. I just couldn't get into it myself.

Re: ARMS Update Adds LAN Play and Arena Mode
So what Nintendo mean is LAN and WLAN. Why call it Local if what they mean is WLAN?
