Re: Talking Point: Could Nintendo Ditch Physical Media With A 'Switch Lite?'

Buizel

As someone who has one physical Switch game (Pokemon LG Pikachu) and is otherwise a digital gamer...I don't think a digital-only model would be worth it at this point.

Moreso that other consoles, digital purchasing on the Switch is expensive due to more expensive games and storage.

Also I don't really see much of a benefit. Switch cards are small, so there's no size benefit. I also imagine the card reading technology is only a small fraction of the manufacturing cost.

Re: Guide: Every Nintendo Console Ranked From Worst To Best

@Zkibu I dunno...many Gamecube titles are lauded as best in their series, including Metroid Prime, Smash Bros Melee, F Zero GX, and Mario Kart. We also got some great new IP in Luigi's Mansion, Eternal Darkness, Animal Crossing and Pikmin. There's also Wind Waker, Twilight Princess and Mario Sunshine.

Re: Talking Point: An Era Ends As Nintendo Continues to Ignore 3D on the 3DS

I loved the 3D from the day I got the 3DS, and I especially appreciate it now that I own the Vita and the Switch as well, as it makes it easier to go back to the relatively low-res graphics of the 3DS.

I can understand why it didn't sit well with everyone though - I guess it's not suited to everyone's eyes. Personally I can't use it at all when using my glasses, which correct for astigmatism.

Re: Beyond Good & Evil 2 is Revealed, But Platforms Are Unannounced

Really mixed feelings on this. I'm personally afraid that it will fail to capture the charm of the original, which was dark and edgy while also having a family-friendly, cartoony appeal.

I'm willing to give Ubisoft a chance but my honest overall first impression is that of disappointment. Still, I'm interested to see what comes next.

Re: Soapbox: ARMS is the New Splatoon for the Nintendo Switch Generation

Buizel

Having played this at the Switch event in London, I have high hopes for this one. I think the game is much more fun and unique than it looks (and I thought Nintendo really did a good job of displaying it yesterday), and has as much depth as many fighters. The motion controls are excellent - much better than anything on the Wii.

I was quick to dismiss Splatoon until I played the Global Testfire. Thus I think it's crucial that Nintendo release a demo ahead of time to sell people on this game.
