Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 6th)

@Sam_ATLUS Xenoblade Chronicles 3 does look better in handheld mode, I agree. I haven't played XC2 yet (in backlog) but I heard it looks very blurry and low rez in handheld, so I'll probably stick to docked with that one. I love my Switch OLED and the gorgeous screen has me spoiled, so much so that I don't want to play on any of my Switch lites anymore unfortunately 😕. Same goes for my ACNH Switches, so I prefer to keep them docked on my OLED tv's. I guess I'm just being picky lol.

@Mioaionios It definitely is for me. When I'm sitting at my desk, I have my 48" OLED, so I would just use that. Can't really use tabletop mode comfortably in bed, so I'd play handheld. Plus I have a few portable monitors (15.6") that I barely use, but would be much bigger than the Switch OLED screen. If I didn't have a TV or monitor, I'd probably use it more often...

@Sam_ATLUS @Mioaionios

After so many hours between you two on Xenoblade Chronicles 3. I'm curious. Do you play mostly handheld or docked? Or a mixture of both?

I've always been mostly a handheld player myself, especially with the Switch OLED. But lately I've been playing docked (ACNH Switch) with my non OLED Switch systems on my OLED tv. It's easier for me to play extended sessions in bed with split Joy Cons (for rpg & jrpg only) on my TV, compared to holding the Switch in handheld mode...

Re: Nikkei Report Says No New Nintendo Hardware Is Coming This Fiscal Year

I'm fine with my Switch OLED, ACNH Switch, & Switch Lite systems for the next couple of years at least. I've even been playing docked mode more on both my 48" & 77" LG C1 OLED's and games look great! If I want better visuals with 4K, 120fps, VRR, HDR, ect then I'll play my Series X or PS5. The games are what keeps my attention, and Switch has them in spades. That's why I play my Switch more than my PS5 & Series X combined.

Re: YouTube And Crunchyroll On Wii U Won't Be Available For Much Longer

DTfearTheBEARD

I've had my Wii U since 2013 and I didn't even know it had Crunchyroll. I don't like using my Switch systems or any gaming consoles to watch content anyway (YouTube, Hulu, ect) because I'd rather play games on them. But I recently upgraded to a few LG C1 OLED tv's and use the browser on those to watch Crunchyroll now. So much more convenient, and I don't have to use my phone or tablet to watch Crunchyroll all the time anymore 😁

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Is Already Switch eShop's Top Seller, Unsurprisingly

DTfearTheBEARD

I was late to Xenoblade Chronicles. Didn't play it on Wii. I skipped the 3DS version. Didn't buy Xenoblade Chronicles 2 on release. When Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition was announced for Switch, I finally decided to buy it and was hooked. After that I ended up ordering XC 2 on Amazon because I couldn't find a copy anywhere locally. Didn't make that mistake again, so I pre-ordered a copy of XC3 to have on release and I'm enjoying it more than XC DE so far. Now I just need to order a copy of Torna, because once again I can't seem to find a copy anywhere in my area...

I said I wasn't going to play Xenoblade Chronicles 3 until I finished XC1 and played XC2 first, but it came in the mail yesterday, so I popped it in my Switch OLED to see how it looks and wow it's gorgeous! And that soundtrack is amazing so far! The Switch speakers don't do it justice, so I'll be playing this gem on my LG C1 OLED. I still need to finish Live A Live, which I would have if I didn't start playing Ghostwire Tokyo (PS5) on the same day. So this weekend I'll be playing XC3, Live A Live, and finishing up the last few trophies for the Platinum on Ghostwire Tokyo.

Re: You Can Now Play Steam Games Using Your Retro Switch Controllers

DTfearTheBEARD

I still need to get 4 of those N64 controllers. They sell out so fast everytime they restock. The grey color is fine, but I wish Nintendo had a variety of controller colors to choose from, like the N64 days. I probably wouldn't even use them anyway, like I don't with the Snes controllers sitting on my shelf.
But I'm a controller junkie, so I can't help it 😂

Started GhostWire Tokyo yesterday (PS5) and it's my new addiction right now! My copy of Live A Live arrived, so I'll be on that as well. When I'm not on PS5 or Switch, I'll probably play some Far Cry 5 or Watch Dogs 2 on Series X with a friend. I still need to finish Final Fantasy 13 (100 hours) on Series X also... happy gaming everyone!

Re: Hands On: 'Live A Live' Gives A Unique 16-Bit RPG A Gorgeous New Lease Of Life

@Gitface I tried the demo for Triangle Strategy and it was okay. The visuals are gorgeous and I didn't mind all the dialogue. Strategy games aren't really my thing, but I enjoyed what I played of it. It's been on sale a few times, so mabey I'll wait until it goes down to about $40-$30. I really liked Bravely Default 2 & I'm looking forward to Nier Automata. Besides releasing Kingdom Hearts cloud only for Switch, Square hasn't let me down when it comes to Switch releases...

Re: Nintendo Reveals A New And Colourful Splatoon 3 Switch OLED

DTfearTheBEARD

Damn! Since i play mostly handheld, I've been wanting to get a second Switch OLED! That Pro controller is nice too! Mabey I'll try to pre-order from Gamestop. This might be my 9th Switch console lol!

After using the Switch OLED daily since day 1, it's hard to go back to my other Switch/Lite systems. Part of me wants to sell them and replace them all with OLED models. Another part of me wants to at least keep my ACNH Switch consoles and just use them docked to my LG C1 OLED tv's. Does anyone else feel this way about the older Switch systems? Or is it just me?

Re: NieR:Automata For Switch Handled By Nintendo Port Specialist Virtuos

DTfearTheBEARD

This is great news! I purchase all of the games mentioned here on day that Virtuos helped bring to Switch and I enjoyed all of them! I'll be there day one to support this game as well!

As other have mentioned, I hope Tomb Raider comes to Switch soon, along with Deus Ex!

October will be a busy month with this, Persona 5 Royal, & RE Village Gold Edition...
