@Rogueleader76 What's wrong with playing the game wherever you can have free Wi-Fi (home, cafes, trains, busses, squares etc.) instead of the expensive mobile internet?
@apoqalypse Yes, the answer is they could prosecute you in order to investigate further the source of your information.
#NintendoLifeBringCommentsSectionToThe21stCentury
The thing is that the comment section is a mess. You cannot follow a comment and its interesting replies because the comment might have the number #3 and the replies of that comment might be numbers #5,11, 34 and 56. As it stands Nintendo Life comment section is for laughs.
@Zuljaras Be aware that Switch ports of AAA games are may be downgraded but not as much as you think. Have also in mind that the different resolutions do not have as much impact on a consumer's mind as video game sites may want you to believe. Nintendo Switch's success so far should be a hint to you about that.
@mist said "30fps is great if you love image doubling"
Truth is, you have to be Mr. Data from Star Trek to actually be able to see image doubling at 30fps. I imagine that with your hyper vision you cannot even stand watching movies since they run at 24 fps.
Playing it right now I can surely tell that what it is a bit Off is Digital Foundry and NintendoLife. Yes, the game needs a few fixes, especially in the sound department but other than that it plays wonderfully.
This is surely a poor excuse. There must be another reason that the video was not included. It could be a silly one too. It's also funny to read author's words "Therefore, it makes a lot of sense to leave the opening cutscene out and save on space". With so much space left it really does not make any sense. I suspect that videos + megabytes are unknown fields for the author.
Was there any public voting system of any kind that Nintendo Life has found the results and concluded that Switch fans are angered? May we see the official results of that scientific analysis?
This is a port that so far has some technical problems, graphically and in sound at scene transitions but in no way it is as bad as the author of this article says. The reviewer exaggerates some minor problems to the maximum. His name is PJ O'Reilly. I'll make sure I remain pretty cautious when reading his next review.
Ι, too, totally agree with @GrailUK at comments with the number 4 and number 10 (still this ancient method of comments and replies here on Nintendo Life) that the author of the article is very one sided about the pricing of the game. And as we all know, good journalism means taking into account all sides. I do hope that the author will read your comments and be more aware of how a pricing of a game should be judged and become a proper journalist too.
@Nintendo4Sonic To be honest I am against complaining about video games just to be complaining. But, and that's a big but, in a racing game the difference between 30 and 60 frames per second is a difference that even my non Nintendo grandmother and grandfather can tell.
@graysoncharles For Switch to have 64 GB instead of 32 GB is irrelevant. You can buy cheap 258 GB SD cards everywhere. Nintendo has been clever on that.
Nintendo Life Detective Pikachu Number 2: He may work for Retro because they are in the same city. And a whole article was made under this assumption!! Nobody to be asked, nobody to confirm. We just write down whatever it comes to our minds and we publish an article.
For all those that complain about the different opinions between IGN and Nintendo Life's reviews, buy the game, play it and then complain either here or there. But mind you, complain AFTER you play it.
I am already playing Picross S3 and I am enjoying it. This is a very professional made product , no milking and of course no touch controls as it would be almost unplayable.
@nhSnork It is definitely an installation package that adds more GB to the default size even if you only purchased the main game. I had around 6 GB left on my SD card and Switch asked me to archive a game of around 1,5 GB before going on with the installation of the update.
@Agramonte , When you say that "Most PS4 owners will not care" how do you know it? Have you been elected as their president and you represent them? Did you see it on a magical crystal ball?
Nintendo Life, you keep on publishing articles that are not newsworthy. They said no plans. Quit making articles with no substance. There are so many games coming these weeks. Make some articles about them. Go to the developers' offices and interview them. You are becoming little by little "The Sun" of video game journalism.
Why are the dates written in the 5/27/2019 format when almost only the USA uses it on this planet? And it's ok to write it this way for Americans but you use the USA date format for releases in Europe and Japan as well!!!
@LuciferOnReddit I have recently started playing the game and what you describe has nothing to do with Starlink. Are you sure you are talking about Starlink? I bet you are confused with another game because what I see and play is an excellent and polished sci-fi video game.
Dear author of Nintendo Life @RyanCraddock . Why would you need touch screen on this game and why do you have it in your title? Have you played Picross before? If you have, don't you realize that it needs a very, very steady movement of your hand, almost impossible, to play this game just by touch movements? Now that you realized it, feel free to correct that title.
It's much better now. I wonder when the atrocity of a rating logo that is the one from Germany will change. Also, I think that since Germany is in the heart of Europe they should adapt to the small, PEGI logo. I mean, even the UK changed it.
@Heavyarms55 Definitely not a nice way of thinking. Yes, they did a mistake. You, the customer, will have to correct it. And let the company then decide to thank you for your politeness.

For those that whine everytime for storage, buy SD cards. They are cheap. If you play video games then you know that you chose an expensive hobby.

Re: Video: Digital Foundry Finds Assassin's Creed III Remastered On Switch "Hard To Recommend"

Re: Team Sonic Racing Drops Opening Cutscene On Switch Due To "Cartridge Size Restrictions"

Re: Once Again, EA Angers Switch Fans By Falsely Advertising FIFA 19 Content
Reading the newest few comments and having in mind this old fashioned comment system I will state once again:
EA behaves the way it behaves (good or bad) but the real question is:
WHO gives Nintendo Life's the permission to use Nintendo fans as a name and conclude that they are angry?
Where is the analysis of it?
Or does the author feel that whenever he doesn't like something he can decide that Nintendo fans feel angry?
This is called MANIPULATIVE JOURNALISM which is a very, very bad kind of journalism.
