@Patron Cucktardary at it's finest. Please go cry about your political opinions somewhere other than a major video game site that most of us come to to get away from all of that biased nonsense. ✌
Between all of the potentiality of NEW games on the Switch, it's getting tougher all the time for me to get too excited about remade games from decades ago. Sure it would be "nichey cool", but I would much rather see more new games than more remakes. No hate, I love Fire Emblem. I'm just saying.
Don't forget there's an update available that bumps you to version 3.4. It drastically increases clarity and framerate and it's available to all Switches. Not just modded ones.
I played this on my laptop when it first came out. I love being able to be Usagi Yojimbo as he's my favorite tmnt character. It's a really fun game for anyone who hasn't played it. Plus, it's FREE!
When it comes to motion blur or blur, to me it all depends on how the effect affects performance. I turned motion blur on low to off in DOOM because that increased the frame rate slightly. If motion blur being left on helps the frame rate then that's what I'll do.
Sounds cool if done well. I wondered if they would make a show to accompany the new Beyond Good and Evil considering the breadth and scope of the game.
I don't believe video games are to blame. That being said, it's quite obvious that certain games are for adults and shouldn't be played by children. I'm nowhere near as hardcore as @Anti-Matter but the older I get, the less interested I am in games that portray needless violence. It's one thing if it's done tastefully like DOOM for example. I have no issue with ripping and tearing my way through hell to bodybag as many demons as possible. In the same breath, I don't like or play GTA and the like. Just because I don't like the realistic atmosphere it portrays. I like many fantasy elements in my games. If I wanted something real-world I'd just step outside and see what's shakin in the really real-world. It's all subjective and opinionated of course and I don't look down upon and admonish mature gamers that wanna play whatever game they enjoy. I'm just developing a taste for more art in video games versus gore for the sake of gore.
I know the obvious answer is to make money and because they can but, why is it that every piece of Pokemon apparel that releases is limited edition or hard to get or cost an arm and leg? Sheesh
@Kenology Point is. The drift issue is why it didn't do better. It did okay, not gangbusters, not peanuts. Maybe shmaybe. When consumers know of a product having a potential problem, it affects sales. Regardless of what the product is. I don't need to "poll" a bunch of Japanese folks to understand basic consumerism in a free market system. Anything else is just "feelings". I get it. I like Nintendo alot too. I like the Switch alot but when an issue like joy con drift becomes prevalent enough that a major company starts repairing the issue for free in their biggest market, it's tough to pretend like buyers won't be weary of future products. Case in point, if I knew for certain the sticks in the Lite were different than the joy cons, I would have bought 2 at launch. That means I myself am proof that the Lite would have sold more units and trust me, I'm not alone in that sentiment.
"If you've read the Nintendo Life review", No, no I gave those schill "reviews" up a long time ago. Everyone can tell they're bought and paid for. Journalism on this site died when Tom left. Now I just pop in from time to time to see the headlines. It's a shame too, I used to really trust this site.
The NES toploader hands down. The oxidation of the original NES's 72-pin connector is what caused all of the "blow in the game" to fix it fiasco. That only sped up the deterioration process. Without changing out the pin connectors alot of NES's basically become useless. The toploader changed all of this. They still work like a charm to this day like all of the other top loading consoles.
@ChozoGhost I just hit Wally World. All of the games are $10 lower than msrp. Don't know why, they just are. Have been for quite a while now. I buy the $30 games like Dragons Dogma and Crash Trilogy for $20.
Who's this PJ O'Reilly character? I didn't know Ireland was running rampant with SJW's. Must be the Crackafornia of Europe. Clearly this dude has no knowledge of a large swathe of Japanese culture. Anime boobs and butts is kind've their thing.
Gamester81 is part of making this series happen. They had an NES version at some point. That'd probably be the one I'd go for. Physical copy of course.
Platinum genuinely cares about their fanbase and they always have a palpable passion toward game development that really shines. Astral Chain is another banger in their ever growing library. Can't wait to see Bayonetta 3 and beyond.
@Morrow That's my thinking too. Probably won't be much more than puzzle games or mini game compilations. Similar to the new Rabbids game announced as a Chinese exclusive.
@DarkLloyd Dude there's multiple restaurants in L.A. where 2 can have an app, main course, bottle of wine and desert then with tip it's $15,000. I know that sounds crazy but it's real.
@BlueOcean That's cool. Well he's been tearing down consoles and repairing them for upwards of 15 years now. He can tear down a 3DS and put it back together like Forrest Gump can a rifle. Lol
Man. Finally, we'll get too see The Switcher 3 running natively in something more than a 45 second trailer. I genuinely don't think I'll be doing anything other than working and playing killer games this Fall and Winter.

But the question is, is it considered a handheld or a console. Looks like more of a hybrid experience. Hmmm

Re: Nintendo’s Share Price Takes A Hit Following Japanese Switch Lite Launch
@Kenology The point is, if the drift issue was addressed openly, then the Lite would have sold even better...like, alot.

I'll definitely check it out to see what it's like but it won't be that big of a diversion from MK8. Mario Kart 9 is what I really want.

It's already out on Blu-Ray. Hopefully this version doesn't have the sharpness turned up way too high like the current release. Also, the sound levels definitely need remixing. https://www.amazon.com/Wizard-Blu-ray-Edwards-Christian-Bridges/dp/B07CLRSJKC
