Re: Poll: How Are Your Download Speeds On Switch 2?

@ChakraStomps Amen on the extender. The mesh setups that are used in homes with consumer electronics are absolutely terrible. If you need to use an extender, make sure there is a ethernet cable connecting the router to the extender, and use unique Wi-Fi SSIDs on the base Wi-Fi and the extender. Otherwise it'll get caught in stupid loops of connecting reconnecting disconnecting to different nodes in your network. Mesh networking is a great idea in theory, but it really sucks on the consumer side.

@Spoony_Tech that is staggeringly fast compared to the limits of the switch one.

I have gigabit internet, and I have it attached via Ethernet, and the Switch 2 seems to top out somewhere around 650 megabits per second. Which for a gaming console especially a handheld, is just mind-blowing.

Re: Donkey Kong Bananza, Like Mario Kart World, Was Initially Planned For Switch 1

@Johnny44 I get it. But I'm curious what are you expecting as better graphics?

Are you looking for:

Better materials? Higher geometry? Or more effects? Higher quality animation?

Reason I'm asking, it is currently my belief that most AAA developers are going the wrong direction in the graphics department. A lot of times I feel like they increase the geometry way too much, like seriously overboard. And in turn it hurts performance.

What are your thoughts on this?

Re: Miyamoto Views Games As 'Products', Not 'Works Of Art', Says Ex-Nintendo Dev

Danrenfroe2016

It's a very good thing. Games are entertainment.

Now they can be ART. But I just hate it when one of the developers makes a political statement game, says it's art, but then the game is a fun, so the game doesn't sell, then they blame the consumers and players for not buying it.

Now if you want to make a political statement and make the game really really good, good for you and if it sells good for you.

There is several games that are somewhat political in nature, that are extremely good games and I support and play specifically because it's a good game not because I agree or disagree with their social message.

Re: Talking Point: With Bigger GameCube File Sizes, Should Nintendo Let Us Download Individual NSO Games?

Danrenfroe2016

Honestly this is where I think they should look into data streaming. Using AI or something, they should have the option to have like a storage saver toggle in the options for GameCube, that if you're a person that is connected online all the time it just downloads what it needs just in time. This would totally work for GameCube games. The maximum Read from the physical disk was about 25 Mbps. I have a feeling that they are thinking about trying something like this.

Re: Perfect Dark Voice Actor Calls On Fans To Help Series "Survive"

I'm honestly kind of glad that it got canceled, the stuff coming out of Microsoft lately has been absolutely boring, woke and intentionally crippling itself. I'm afraid they need new leadership and new developers to come in, and make good games that are non-political. They need to get back to making games for all people and not try to cater to a small subset of folks.

Even the Xbox 360 perfect dark, I really wanted to like it, but It was too slow, and just felt clunky to me.

Re: Fast Fusion Launch Trailer Gives Us Our Best Look At Switch 2 Gameplay

@Kiwi_Unlimited same here. Obviously I'm excited for Mario kart world, and the updates to the other switch games, But this is the first play for me. I'll probably sit on cyberpunk for about a month or two and then buy it, I have never had a system that was able to run this game, so I am ready to play it, I know that there will be patches so I'm going to wait a few months.

Re: Nintendo Defends Switch 2's Perceived Lack Of Innovation

Danrenfroe2016

@MrDocena got it, that's sad that the people that did like it did not get enough content out of it, I actually have a copy of it and I have never tried to play it I don't know where I got it from but I do have a copy of Wii music, I need to plug it in and see what it's all about. I'm kind of glad actually to see that there are some defenders of that game lol, I was under the impression that it just came and got mocked and fizzled. I mean I get it that Nintendo likes to innovate but I just hate it when they spend money on features for the switch or a switch 2 that only one or two games will utilize, particularly the little IR camera sensor thing in the original switch.

Re: Nintendo Defends Switch 2's Perceived Lack Of Innovation

Danrenfroe2016

I am honestly so glad that they did not innovate too much, remember wii music? Remember Star Fox zero? Potentially good ideas, but it went too far. I tried so hard to like Star Fox zero but it just was unfun to play because of the complication of having to use the gamepad as well. Uggg.

Re: Nintendo Confirms Upgrade Pack Price For More 'Switch 2 Edition' Titles

@progx I 100% disagree about the phone and tablet... , I'm a hardcore gamer, and I just can't stand trying to game on a cell phone or a tablet, I mean other than something like bejeweled or angry birds, it's just not well suited for it. No I realize like my nephew he plays all these games that all you do is sit there and tap like a zombie, and I just cannot believe it, it's not even a game it's basically like he's putting money into one of those video slot machines that you see people and they just keep tapping the button That's what it reminds me of. 😵😵😵
