Re: We Can't Ignore The Switch, Says Sony's Head Of Corporate Planning

DBPirate

Personally, after getting my Switch, my playtime on the PS4 has drastically reduced due to the fact that I'm stuck to one room and have to look at a TV the whole time I'm playing (off-TV play on the Wii U spoiled me) and I'd love for hybrid gaming to be the future of the industry but Sony really doesn't need to worry about the Switch.

Re: Poll: Have Your Say on the Best Main Series 3D Mario and Zelda Games

DBPirate

Personally, I find Mario to be more accessible and fun (though Zelda's amazing as well) so I voted Mario for best overall. Haven't had a chance to play some of the older games so I only voted in the Wii, Wii U and Switch polls. I think it's a little unfair to pit 3D World and NSMBU against two Zelda remakes (I consider BOTW more of a Switch game).

Re: Poll: Six Months of the Switch - What Do You Think of Nintendo's Console Hybrid?

DBPirate

I love my Switch so far! I was apprehensive when it was first revealed, but I think Nintendo has knocked it out of the park with this one. The Switch seems to be doing great sales-wise.

The only thing I still want is Virtual Console with GameCube and possibly Wii games. If they could get everything they had on the Wii U VC and just port it over, that'd would be awesome.

Re: Oddworld Creator Lorne Lanning "Has No Faith" In Switch

DBPirate

Totally unnecessary comments concerning Mr. Iwata. And I'm confused about his first comment: he says that he sees a similar level of success as the Wii era. If that's the case, he doesn't have faith how?

And I think that we should get the "it's easy to port titles over to the Switch" cleared up. This guy's saying it takes too much time and energy to port. He seems to blame Nintendo for a lot of problems.

Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Nintendo at E3 2017?

DBPirate

Picked Odyssey, Prime 4, and Superstar Saga were my favorite reveals. Really looking forward to those titles!

Very good showing by Nintendo this E3. The game I was personally anticipating the most wasn't shown, but I have to overlook that because of the other stuff they did show.

Re: Rumour: Artwork for Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle Posted Online

Wow. It looks...interesting. I don't know what else to say about this.

Thought it was fake at first due to the "turtle shelves" typo but I guess not. Won't judge it until I see footage first.

EDIT: Realized this wasn't supposed to be public thanks to the announcement part so I guess the typo wouldn't have disproven it.

Re: Feature: Taking A Deep Breath: Introducing The Voice Of Zelda, Patricia Summersett

DBPirate

I think everyone's being a bit too harsh on her. The voice acting as a whole wasn't anything to write home about, even compared to a Nintendo-published game, Kid Icarus: Uprising. I don't think Zelda games need voice acting to be honest.

She was pretty good in Assassin's Creed, in my opinion, so this was just an isolated case. Zelda just shouldn't have dialogue, which is why the voice was probably weird to most people.

Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Breaks Series Records With US Launch Sales

It's awesome how well Nintendo's doing right now! Whoever thinks they're doomed or failing at this point is just kidding themselves.

I'm surprised at how popular the Switch has been in my area. Either a lot of people are closet Nintendo fans or they have attracted tons of newcomers to the console.

Re: Review: LEGO City: Undercover (Switch)

DBPirate

This is hands down the best Lego game. The remaster is better than the original on every level and I'm enjoying my time with it so far. I don't see how it's worse now than it was before. Other games that came out later may be better but that doesn't make this game worse.

Re: Lego City Undercover Still Has Ridiculous Load Times on Switch

DBPirate

I think people are overestimating the amount of load times in the game. You will encounter around two every play session and the first is the loading of the entire open world.

I honestly found the load times for Tropical Freeze much worse since they are way more common.

EDIT: The first load time shown in the video is the longest in the game. They really aren't that bad; few and far between.

Re: Poll: A Month of Nintendo Switch - Do You Think It's Heading for Success?

DBPirate

The Switch has the potential to be a fantastic console! I am a bit worried about how third parties are treating it right now and if the trend continues, the Switch may be another Nintendo-only console for me.

I don't mind having a Nintendo-only console, but I want them to succeed! So far, sales have been pretty good and the Switch has an excellent first year line up ahead of it. It's off to a great start!
