Re: Feature: What Do You Want From A New Nintendo Switch?

Cobalt

@Pod I said " from March to end September"

@Balta666 I personally don't count on the "fake" Pokémon. I think it's gonna sell a lot in the beginning because the PokéJunkies are gonna buy 10 times each versions but seriously, I see a big slowdown after the 2 first months.

Smash is something else, even if I don't care about this game, I'm confident about the sells !

Re: Feature: What Do You Want From A New Nintendo Switch?

Cobalt

@Balta666 Yeah but PS5/NextXbox are around the corner now...
So, even if Nintendo boost the Switch, the problem still remains (and probably even bigger :/ )

The only way for Nintendo to succeed is to have a really strong catalogue of exclusives. You know, I have some numbers of the sells from March to end September, let me tell you that Nintendo can be grateful to the Japanese market because, in the US and even worst in Europe, the momentum is clearly over... :/

The simple reason is : the lack of 1st party exclusives...

@jhewitt3476

Sony is not stupid... They know that if they announce the PS5 for christmas 2019, the sells of the PS4/PS4Pro are gonna drop heavily.

PR talk is a key to "control" the masses... ^^

PS : Trust me, Death Stranding, Ghost of Tsushima, The Last of Us 2 are all PS5 titles... There is no Sony Experience this year, I have my little idea why...

I'm convinces that 2019 is the year of PS5 and next XBOX.
Nintendo is stretched to the very limit now and we start to hear about a New Switch, more powerful etc...

Understand that the difference in horse power between Switch and PS5/NextXBOX will be insanely more important than now (and it's already a problem for 3rd party...)

E3 2019 is gonna be massive.

What is funny with this is how "Nintendrones" are deep inside of them.

How many time, right here, they explained to me that, WE DON'T CARE ABOUT SPECS, WE DON'T CARE TO HAVE A BETTER FRAMERATE, WE DON'T CARE TO HAVE 1080P GRAPHICS etc...etc...

And then, what is the most wanted stuff for a 2019 new Switch ?

MORE POWERFUL SPECS ! Muhahahahaaaaa...

Really insane the gamers of today...

Re: Reggie Says Wii U's Failure Ultimately Led To Success Of The Switch

Cobalt

@UmbreonsPapa

I like the Switch but I don't like people who spit on the Wii U BECAUSE they have read that on the net and... done...

The success of the Switch is, for a big part, due to the Wii U awesome games... and when you add the fact that the Wii U has stuffs that the Switch is not able to do... hum... I'm sorry but the Wii U deserve more respect...

You know what is the problem today ? Simple, if you're not a lamb or a sheep, you're a bad person...

Re: Reggie Says Wii U's Failure Ultimately Led To Success Of The Switch

Cobalt

@Blizzia said "Switch has the ability to let you play it anywhere anytime"

_For 2 hours and in the shadow GREAT what a genius thing... :/

"Switch can have two or more players on either the Switch screen or the TV. Your point?"

_My point is that I need 1 Wii U to play with 2 players, one on each screen ! If I'd like to do that with the Switch, I have to buy 2 SWITCHes... GENIUS AGAIN !

"Yes, you can play wii games and decades old games on a virtual console. But you can't play new games. The Wii U started out only capable of running the previous generation of games even with extreme compromises"

_I CAN'T PLAY NEW GAMES ? Muhahahahahahahaaaa...

Re: Reggie Says Wii U's Failure Ultimately Led To Success Of The Switch

Cobalt

@Retupmocnin

Yayyy, that's awesome ! :/

People are gonna realize that they have invested in the BETA version of the real Switch :

OLED SCREEN 1080p
More powerful
Better energy management
etc...

PS : I start to understand why there is no news about METROID Prime 4, Bayonetta 3 etc... MAYBEEEE because those games are gonna use the EXTRA power of the "real" Switch to make them look and play better...

If it turns that I'm right, I swear I'm not gonna buy the newest version...

Re: Reggie Says Wii U's Failure Ultimately Led To Success Of The Switch

Cobalt

@ArticFox

Here where I live, a lot of people prefer the Wii U over the Switch in term of comfort.
How the hands fall naturally with that little border on the back, it's just PERFECT !
The sticks and buttons are heavenly placed and everything is under control without any problem. With the Switch, my fingers have to be placed in a kind of unnatural position to play my games. The problem is solved by using the pro controller but still, what a shame... And BTW, the Wii U pro controller is far superior to the Switch one too...

Re: Reggie Says Wii U's Failure Ultimately Led To Success Of The Switch

Cobalt

I'd like to say to Reginald some stuffs :

_I have a dualscreen experience on my Wii U.
_I can play with a second player, one on each screen(GP and TV).
_I have immediatly the backward compatibility of the Wii librairy on the system.
_I have an incredible Eshop with an outstanding Virtual Console.
_I play ONLINE for FREE.
_I have Netflix integrated and works wonderfuly.
_I have an Internet browser, fast and responsive.
_I can play almost 8 hours non stop with the 2550mAh battery.
_My gamepad is ultra comfy to hold compare to the flat Switch.
_All my accessories of the previous system are instantly usable on my Wii U(Wiimote, controllers etc...)
_I have A REAL D-PAD to play 2D games.

Sooo, from my perspective the Wii U is FAAARRRR better than the Switch and even in terms of games. Because without all the Wii U's HITS, the catalogue of the Switch will be really poor...

Re: SEGA AGES Thunder Force IV - The Mega Drive's Most Impressive Shmup Hits Switch

Cobalt

@infernogott

I checked and first thing first, Thank You for the video ! ^^

Now, it's still not good with the "FIT" option :/
I made a screen to show you what is missing.
Untitled

If the aspect ratio will be good, the game will be shown under the red strokes. The "FIT" mode should cover 1440 pixels width for 1080 pixels height to maintain the perfect 4:3 ratio (1.3333333).

In reality it covers only 1392 pixels width for 1080 pixels height, meaning 1.28888889.

This is better, that's true, but not pixel perfect. :/

Re: SEGA AGES Thunder Force IV - The Mega Drive's Most Impressive Shmup Hits Switch

Cobalt

Is there somebody who can explain to me WHY THE HELL Sega screwed the aspect ratio ? Whyyyy ?

The MegaDrive/Genesis deliver a perfect 4:3 ratio (1.33333333) with a fantastic resolution of 320 x 240 which means that you just have to upsacle X3 to get a PERFECT 960 x 720, or X4 to get a PERFECT 1280 x 960, or X4.5 to get a fullscreen in height with 1440 x 1080.

Sooo, why they have to use a ratio of 1.285714285714286 ? WHY they do that ? Just for the pleasure to make it complicated and to destroy the original aspect ?

It's really a shame to see how bad they treat these awesome games. I recommend to play on the original hardware.

Re: Soapbox: Why Do We Want More Games When We've Already Got Too Many?

Cobalt

@Anti-Matter

I tried all the handhelds possible :

  • all the Nintendos
    Game Gear, Nomad, PCengine GT, Lynx, NeoGeo Pocket, Wonderswan, PSP, NGage,Vita etc...

The form factor of the GBA was the absolute best for me. It's a question of taste I suppose.

About games that I missed, yeah like every gamers on Earth ! ^^
But I think you misunderstood something :

I had a DS but like I said, in term of ergonomy, the GBA is far superior from my perspective.
Ow, and I played FF IV on a SFC back then... ^^

Re: Soapbox: Why Do We Want More Games When We've Already Got Too Many?

Cobalt

@Anti-Matter

The only handheld that was perfect for me in term of confort was the GBA !
Everything that came after was bad or at least not really good, SP, Mini, DS, DS Lite, DSI, 3DS, 2DS... The GBA has the perfect grip to play comfy.

Now, to go outside with my Switch hummm not fan of that...
My Switch is my home console from Nintendo. I respect the people who play outside but I never crossed one of them since the launch in 2017.

EDIT : I love indies, I'm one of them

Re: Soapbox: Why Do We Want More Games When We've Already Got Too Many?

Cobalt

@NEStalgia

That's not true. Why the Wii U was great for me then ?
The Switch is the home console of Nintendo, the next iteration after the Wii U. So, it's legit to get a Switch because I was expecting at least, the same as the Wii U in terms of exclusives...

The reality is totally different, the Switch has less exclusives than the Wii U... I read everywhere that the Switch has more than 1 000 games... I'm sorry but I would like to have at least 2 good big release games in a months, not that infinite load of shovelwares, of ports, of IOS games etc...

Like I said previously this month is awesome :
Dragon Quest XI
ZOE 2
Spiderman
Tomb Raider
Valkyria IV

In October:

_Fist of the North Star : Lost Paradise 2nd of October
_Assassin's Creed Odyssey 5th of October
_Resonance of Fate 18th of October
_Sinner Sacrifice for Redemption 18th of October
_Soulcalibur VI 19th of October
_Warrior Orochi 4 19th of October
_Red dead Redemption II 26th of October

So, I'm waiting for Yoshi, Bayonetta 3, Metroid Prime 4...

@penamiguel92

This is ridiculous !

Look, the visuals, the framerate, the resolution etc... play a role in the experience. There is nothing bad to play with the comfiest as you can get...

If the aliasing is pleasant for you, ok ! but understand that it's not the case for everybody. Especially when you play on a 50/55/65/75" screen...

People like you are strange because I remember the reaction of the "Ninty-Fanboys" when the Switch SPECS were revealed. Sentence like : " Wowww 720p on a small device like that, awesome ! It's totally BETTER than the 480p of the gamepad..." etc...

Then, the better SPECS, better resolution count !
Incredible that level of bad-faith.

Re: Soapbox: Why Do We Want More Games When We've Already Got Too Many?

@penamiguel92

You made me laught dude !
Maybe you watch VHS BECAUSE what is important is the movie.
I choose to watch the same movie but in Bluray/Bluray4K...

Seriously, why the hell you have an HD screen or a 4K screen then ?
Keep a good black and white CRT then...

My point is if a game looks better, feels better and even plays better, I'm sorry but it's just human to get the version that runs the best...

Re: Soapbox: Why Do We Want More Games When We've Already Got Too Many?

Cobalt

@penamiguel92

And you think that Dragon Quest XI, ZOE2, Spiderman, Tomb Raider and VC4 are not quality ? LOL
The truth is that you have QUANTITY AND QUALITY on PS4, that's all.

Now about Valkyria 4, I'm somebody who doesn't care about portability, so WHY I'd buy VC4 on Switch ? To have a lower resolution ? To miss some details on the visuals ? Tell me because I don't get why...
If a game is better on one platform, I buy the best version... Do you think that it's not normal ?

For the moment, I got DQ XI, ZOE2 and VC4... Spidey and Tomb Raider are available now second hand (because they are so popular, you find'em easily at a good price ^^).

Hope I answer all your question pal.

Re: Soapbox: Why Do We Want More Games When We've Already Got Too Many?

Cobalt

@Mrtoad It's what you can choose...

I mean, somebody like me don't care about NBA or NHL games but other people are happy to have these games...

My September month is :

_Dragon Quest XI - 4 septembre
_Zone of the Enders 2 - 6 septembre
_Spider-Man - 7 septembre
_Shadow of the Tomb Raider - 14 septembre
_Valkyria Chronicles 4 - 25 septembre

This is awesome for me to have 5 fantastic games in only a month.
On the Switch, I'm not sure to have 5 awesome games in A YEAR.

From January to October, only Octopath Traveler for me... This is really dry... and I don't care about the fake pokemon and Smash... so I'm waiting for Yoshi now... :/ Sad but true.

Re: Soapbox: Why Do We Want More Games When We've Already Got Too Many?

Cobalt

More games = more choices.

It's like a logical thing to understand that we're all different even if people are basically the same.
What I mean by that is obvious :

_We don't like specially the same games.
_We don't have the same "appetite" for new games.
_We don't have the same background in gaming.
BUT
_We all like to play.

Now, the Switch is a home console that you can take with you, OK !
Some people don't care to play on a TV, others don't care about the portable factor but what everyone cares about are THE GAMES.

From my perspective, I couldn't have only a Switch... there is a lack of games (big releases) and seriously it's even worse if you had a Wii U before...
It's sad to say but I play more on my PS4 not because I like it more or because PS4 is better etc... NO... it's just a question of choice, on PS4 I have every months a vast choice of games to play.

Just this September :

PS4

Dragon Quest XI - 4 septembre
Destiny 2 : Renegats - 4 septembre
428 Shibuya Scramble - 4 septembre
Zone of the Enders 2 - 6 septembre
V-Rally 4 - 6 septembre
Spider-Man - 7 septembre
NBA Live 19 - 7 septembre
Nascar Heat 3 - 7 septembre
NBA 2K19 - 9 septembre
Dakar 18 - 11 septembre
Boundless - 11 septembre
Dying Light Bad Blood 13 Septembre
Shadow of the Tomb Raider - 14 septembre
Black Clover : Quartet Knights - 14 septembre
NHL 19 - 14 septembre
Transference - 18 septembre
CrossCode - 20 septembre
Valkyria Chronicles 4 - 25 septembre
Life is Strange 2 - 27 septembre
FIFA 19 - 28 septembre
Metal Max Xeno - 28 septembre
Fire Pro Wrestling World - 28 septembre

SWITCH

SNK Heroines Tag Team Frenzy - 7 septembre
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 : Torna - 14 septembre
Dragon Ball FighterZ - 28 septembre

We are talking just September here, so imagine on an entire year ! o_O

More choice, the better.

Re: It Sucks To Say It, But Castlevania Requiem Isn't Coming To Switch

Cobalt

@ekwcll

You're right, Sony doesn't always make smart moves, we've got the PS move...

Seriously, sure they screwed up some stuffs but globaly, they have made a pretty solid business with the PS4 in terms of power, games and advertisings...

That Castlevania requiem compilation is a smart move for sure, especially with the love that players have for Castlevania's games...

Re: It Sucks To Say It, But Castlevania Requiem Isn't Coming To Switch

@BensonUii said "Exposed by @HobbitGamer ahahahhahahaha!
Nintendo remastering: port port port!
Sony remastering: smart move!
LMAO"

This is why I have no trust in humanity anymore... Even the smallest and easiest basic thing to understand has become too difficult to get... :/

There is a study from 2017 that demonstrated the decline of IQ in the "civilized world"... I was sceptical at first glance but now... ^^

Re: It Sucks To Say It, But Castlevania Requiem Isn't Coming To Switch

Cobalt

@NotAceAttorney
Even if it's not clearly a remake in itself, I meant that they have to rework the games :" Both titles will benefit from upscaled 1080p visuals, and PS4 Pro owners will even get crisp 4K. Filters have also been added, and there will be trophy support for those of you who like that kind of thing."

@HobbitGamer Again, these games ARE NOT direct ports of the previous generation. It's not like Captain Toad (NEW WiiU game) ported to the Switch or like Hyrule Warriors (NEW WiiU game ported to the Switch) or like Bayonetta 2 (New WiiU game ported to the Switch) etc... etc...

You don't want to just open your eyes and understand the reality of things...
