Re: PSA: Switch Update Adds Handy Feature Allowing System Transfer To "Dedicated Server"

DTfearTheBEARD

I'll never trade in any of my old Switch systems, NEVER. Especially with the iffy, will it play nicely on Switch 2 or not backward compatibility Nintendo is going for.

That and the fact I have a little over 300 physical Switch games. With the higher cost of micro sd express cards, I need to save as much precious storage space as possible for Switch 2 games. Game key cards becoming the norm doesn't help either 😑.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 On Switch 2 Is "Best Way" To Play Handheld Says CD Projekt Red

DTfearTheBEARD

And I'll be there day one to purchase a physical copy of Cyberpunk 2077 to go alongside my Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle.

It's been almost 5 years since I've played Cyberpunk on my launch PS5, and I never played the DLC. I'm excited to experience all of the additional content that's been added since then. And I get to enjoy it all from the comfort of my bed on a handheld!

Re: Poll: GameStop Offers A Tempting Switch 2 Trade-In Deal, But Is It Really Worth It?

DTfearTheBEARD

All of my Switch/Lite/OLED models are in immaculate shape with original packaging. 5 of them being limited edition systems (2 ACNH OG's, TOTK OLED, Splatoon 3 OLED, Pokémon Sword & Shield lite) i could trade in my Turquoise, Yellow, & Grey lite systems since i don't use them at all. But $100 isn't enough.

So I'll wait and see how many of my Switch games run well through backward compatibility on Switch 2. Besides, with this game key card thing looking like it's going to be the standard for most games. I need to keep precious storage space cleared for Switch 2 exclusives.

Re: Resident Evil's Continued Success Makes Us Eager For Switch 2 Ports

DTfearTheBEARD

I was really looking forward to the RE games coming to Switch 2 with native ports (no cloud nonsense), but unfortunately, I'm sure the physical releases will be game key cards 😕. If so, I'll stick with Steam versions on my Steam Deck OLED for my portable fix and PS5 Pro for TV play. I'd happily like to be proven wrong, Capcom.

Re: Poll: So, Did You Manage To Get A Switch 2 Pre-Order In? (North America)

DTfearTheBEARD

I almost didn't get one this morning. Since Gamestop said they were going to open pre-orders at 10 am my time, they started at 9 am instead, lucky for me, I was checking the website, and it kept crashing but I was persistent and stuck with it for about 30 to 45 minutes. I ended up getting a Switch 2 bundle with Mario Kart World!

My sister was able to secure one last night from Wal-Mart. She wanted the bundle, but I told her to take what she could get.

My birthday is June 2nd, so this is my nice little late b-day gift!

Re: Mario Kart World Is Reportedly The Smoothest Entry Yet

DTfearTheBEARD

I'm not an fps snob or anything, and I never have been. But going from 30fps to 40fps is noticeable. Same with going from 60fps to 120fps. I can still play games at 30fps just fine, but I appreciate the higher frames when available with a decent image quality.

But yeah, I'm really looking forward to playing Mario Kart World & Metroid Prime 4 at 120fps docked and in handheld mode.

Re: Anniversary: No, There's Absolutely No Way In Hell Animal Crossing: New Horizons Is Five Today

DTfearTheBEARD

It's a decent Animal Crossing game, even though I prefer New Leaf.

I fell off from it after a year or so when I sold my OG Switch to a friend and forgot to transfer my save to one of my other systems first 😑. Thanks for no cloud save, Nintendo.

The ACNH Switch system was so nice, I bought 3 of them.

Since Doom Eternal released the same day 5 years ago and Doom The Dark Ages is around the corner. I'd assume the next animal crossing can't be too far away, right?

Re: Latest 'Switch 2' Rumour Suggests Nintendo Is Preparing For An Enormous Launch

DTfearTheBEARD

I'm really excited to see the Switch 2 reveal and launch, but if the launch system doesn't have an OLED display, I'll probably wait for a mid gen refresh before I pick one up.

With my current Switch backlog, Steam Deck OLED, and PS Portal, I'm set at the moment as far as handheld gaming goes.

Either way I'm looking forward to the launch lineup, new Joy Con, Pro controller, ect.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (12th October)

DTfearTheBEARD

After getting the Platinum for Silent Hill 2 yesterday, Absolutely amazing remake, great job Bloober Team! I'm debating on what to start playing next to keep spooky season going with horror games.

It's a choice between Alone in the Dark or Still wakes the Deep.

Other then that I'm slowly progressing through Dying Light (Steam Deck OLED) co-op with a friend when we both have the time to do so.

Have a great weekend, and happy gaming, everyone!

Re: Switch Briefly Mentioned On GTA+ Subscription Site Before Being Removed

DTfearTheBEARD

Whats with Rockstar and the way they treat Nintendo fans? Switch still doesn't have GTA V. Even though I would prefer to have GTA IV.

Physical copies of GTA Definitive Edition & Red Dead Redemption for Switch seem to never go on sale even though most of the games aren't even on the cartridge.

I'm glad I have a Steam Deck OLED to play most of the Rockstar games I enjoy!

I understand why RDR2 isn't available for Switch. But the older stuff should have been on Switch a long time ago. That's easy money sitting there, Rockstar.

Re: Review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate (Switch) - Hades In A Half-Shell

DTfearTheBEARD

7/10 isn't bad at all. Since it's a mobile game, I expected it to run at 60 fps, so an unstable frame rate is disappointing.

A friend of mine really wants to play it with me, so if he buys it for me, that's the only way I'll be playing it soon. Other than that, I'm in no rush to get it.

I'm sure my Steam Deck OLED would have no problem running this at 90 fps. I'll wait and see if Limited Run has a physical release or if it comes to PS5 or Steam.

Re: Zelda-Themed 'Hyrule Edition' Nintendo Switch Lite Launches This September

DTfearTheBEARD

It's so beautiful! Why does it have to be a Switch lite though. I understand why since TOTK Switch OLED was released last year, which I own, but still.

I have 4 Switch lites that I don't even use anymore since the OLED released. I definitely don't need this but I want it. This late in the Switches life and I'm thinking about buying another Switch. Only Nintendo can do this to me.

Re: Resident Evil 6 Has Sold Over 1 Million Copies On Nintendo Switch

DTfearTheBEARD

I did my part and bought the RE triple pack back when it was released. Mostly to have RE4 on cartridge in which the game never received a patch to add gyro anyways, so I didn't play it much.

I had fun playing Mercenaries on RE6 for Switch, especially using split Joy Cons with gyro. But ever since Steam Deck OLED has entered my life, I much prefer to play RE6 on it instead.

800p 90fps in handheld mode/1080p 120fps docked with better gyro controls!

If Capcom gives Switch 2 proper physical releases of RE5/6/7/8, I'll buy those Day 1.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (30th March)

DTfearTheBEARD

@Rpg-lover Thanks again for the Steam Deck info. I fell in love with the original Deck so much that when the oled came out, I sold my Deck and immediately upgraded and put a 2TB SSD in it.

I'm amazed by what this handheld can do. I play it daily. It's easily my favorite electronics purchase since the Switch back in 2017.
