It's all kind of insane and asinine but it's also not surprising since it's the internet and, on top of that, it's Reddit of all places. It's funny AF to watch unfold.
@Lionyone no worries! They actually broke the embargo date for this "mini review" and maybe were in a rush to publish and forgot some crucial info. Sloppy review that shouldn't even be published yet. ***** thing for them to do. Little outlets get screwed and big outlets like Nintendo Life do crap like this.
Not worth it for international subscribers. As a devoted sub to Switch Player, this group has a difficult time fulfilling international orders. Half of all my issues were lost or destroyed in the mail, with only two ever being replaced. At $10+ per issue it's not worth it. Nintendo Force is the Nintendo magazine you should be buying.
@DOOMguy yeah, I had a big stack of images and I'd just slide the next one to the front when I got tired of the design. It was pretty cool, if admittedly very geeky. It was great!
@SigourneyBeaver there's at least two of us who think alike then. It's the first thing I thought of when I saw it. I had tons of different images printed for my PSP. It was cool. To me at least. I actually still have a lot of them on DeviantArt.
Not useless. You can print your own art and display it behind the protector. Good-bye stickers! Like many of us did with a particular PGP Sony PSP case back in the day.
Was a subscriber for two years and, after countless missing issues being lost making the trip to the States, I had to stop. $10 per issue is way too much when you don't know whether you'll ever receive your magazine. Would love to still subscribe but it's not a good idea to until they sort out the international shipping problems.
Shame it doesn't hold up. I can actually relate to the main character's story of losing their parents early and being shamed and ridiculed for grieving. Was looking forward to this one but will probably skip it since the story and characters don't hold up.
"According to the Nintendo website, the file size for Team Sonic Racing is 6.6GB. Keeping the game under 8GB meant Sega didn't have to fork out the extra coin for a bigger game card. Therefore, it makes a lot of sense to leave the opening cutscene out and save on space."
Not sure how the reviewer says it runs smooth. It doesn't.
Handheld mode looks and runs at roughly 30fps. It's the only way I'll play this unless they patch it.
Docked is another story... It consistently dips to the low 20s (maybe lower) when craps popping off and stuff is exploding (which is what this game's all about). There's painfully obvious pop-in whenever you're flying. The textures are bad.
I like the game but it definitely DOESN'T run smoothly, especially in 1080p docked.
@The_Pixel_King I laugh about that all the time to myself. Was a time when I laughed at all of the adults who said that. But it's GD true!! Trying to live in every moment now because it's flying by.
I was a huge physical fan. After someone I live with pawned my entire physical collection, I'm going all digital. I'll never be able to afford to replace what they stole. Special Editions of BotW, XC2, Dead Cells... The list goes on and on. Digital it is from now on! Filthy addicts...
@WaveBoy thanks for that nostalgia trip! Definitely agree that things were much simpler and life seemed slower then. That's how life works, I suppose. Everything changes in the name of progress.
@Nemodius Thanks! Haven't seen that solution. Definitely looking into to that as an option for voice chat. Don't like the idea of messing with the USB C port with much other than ac or ext battery.

@kay_99 thanks for the feedback. I may check it out next time it's on sale.
Re: Pac-Man Museum+ Brings 14 Games In The Series To Switch
Ms. Pac-Man is the only one I want. And it's nowhere to be found on the Switch.
Re: Soapbox: Even If GTA Trilogy Were Perfect, I'd Rather Be Shooting Balloons And Burying Gyroids
Or, you know, you could play both games. You can have multiple games in rotation.

@Lionyone The DNA profiles and the multiplayer are both present in the Switch version of the game.

@Incarna that's how I've been playing though my mini-sessions usually last 2-3 hours

Free-roaming side-scrolling shooter on the Switch? Try Aqua Kitty UDX. Great game.

Re: Team Sonic Racing Drops Opening Cutscene On Switch Due To "Cartridge Size Restrictions"
@jswhitfield8 Yep, I watch an intro sequence once, maybe twice to show someone else. People just need a reason to complain about basically everything.

No. It's Sega being cheap.
Re: Review: Saints Row: The Third - The Full Package - The Next Best Thing To Grand Theft Auto On Switch?
@Woosh193 I haven't played it myself. Sat next to my good friend while they were playing it for review.
Re: Review: Saints Row: The Third - The Full Package - The Next Best Thing To Grand Theft Auto On Switch?
@ClassSonicSatAm That's what I'm hoping for.

@Elvie it can be used for relaxation and mediation.
Re: Review: City Of Brass - An Action-Packed Roguelike That's Worth Its Weight In Gold
Been watching this one. Great to hear a good review, to begin. I'm waiting for more reviews, before I pick it up.
Re: Nindie Round Up: Black & White Bushido, Necrosphere Deluxe, At Sundown, Mecho Wars And Solstice Chronicles: MIA
Usually something in these features that I find interesting. Not this time. Kind of surprised.
Re: Nindie Round Up: Black & White Bushido, Necrosphere Deluxe, At Sundown, Mecho Wars And Solstice Chronicles: MIA
@Judgedean something new they've been doing for indie titles. I appreciate the short-form style.
Re: Happy Birthday To Suda51 Who Turns 51 Today
@The_Pixel_King we should talk. Hit me up on Twitter @ ChrisUnseen
Re: Happy Birthday To Suda51 Who Turns 51 Today
@The_Pixel_King I laugh about that all the time to myself. Was a time when I laughed at all of the adults who said that. But it's GD true!! Trying to live in every moment now because it's flying by.
Re: Happy Birthday To Suda51 Who Turns 51 Today
@The_Pixel_King thought the same thing! (Just turned 46 in Dec)
Re: Happy Birthday To Suda51 Who Turns 51 Today
I freaking love this. One for us Olds!! Love Suda. Funny his handle matches up now... For a year at least.
Everyone go buy Travis Strikes Again! It's gonna be intense fun and then we'll definitely get No More Heroes 3.
Re: Feature: Digital vs Physical - What Is Your Preference for Nintendo Switch?
@MrKai Would definitely be open to a 48hr grace period for digital purchases. But what incentive do they have to offer that?
Re: Feature: Digital vs Physical - What Is Your Preference for Nintendo Switch?
I was a huge physical fan. After someone I live with pawned my entire physical collection, I'm going all digital. I'll never be able to afford to replace what they stole. Special Editions of BotW, XC2, Dead Cells... The list goes on and on. Digital it is from now on! Filthy addicts...

I'll wait for some QoL updates before I pick this one up. Not interested in being frustrated. We're not in '85. Give me a damn map!

@Antraxx777 Forever!
Re: Review: Atari Flashback Classics - This Dusty Collection Sadly Opts For Quantity Over Quality
@WaveBoy yeah, the 80s we're kinda crazy. Glad I saw them (and the 70s) lol
Re: Review: Atari Flashback Classics - This Dusty Collection Sadly Opts For Quantity Over Quality
"Pong... Which is 46 years old." Holy crap! Ancient! Wait...
I turn 46 tomorrow!! The slow, inevitable march towards the grave is nearing it's end.
