@BooJoh I am pleasantly surprised playing this game, it has not asked for money even once. But I also don't care what my character looks like. I guess I'm the outlier as it's amazing to me that people pump in millions of dollars for cosmetics. Different world.
@Jimmy_G_Buckets yes I found best to play in handheld as on the big screen it's way to distracting. I hope they release a update that removes geometry from the character models and gets rid of the 15fps update rate of the other characters. It's bad optimization decisions.
I had a feeling that they would go in stock this week so I had my wife checking periodically throughout the day every day this week and she nailed it at 12:10 p.m. Central Time, we bought four controllers. So glad to finally get some controlers, two for my home and two are for my sister's household. Uggg. Why so difficult?
Okay I have played about 3 or 4 shows, I made it to the second to the last round and one of them. It is pretty fun, and yes we choppiness is annoying as hell, hopefully they can optimize and fix that because honestly I think there is no reason for it to be doing that besides for lazy programming.
@steventonysmith same here, technically I pay for myself, my wife, two of my nephews, my sister and two of our friends. Í love doing it and it has been an exceptional value.
@ThomastheTankEngine I disagree with you there, I like to own my games as well, however stealing them from a company because you don't like their policies does not make stealing ok.
I bet it comes out half broken with promises of fixing it, I'm also worried about the switch version. I really hope they take the time that is necessary to make a good game, they would sell so many more units if they would do that and actually make it high quality top notch.
Sucks. I never did understand how all these license holders everywhere, I'm talking about James Bond 007, of course the Sonic game, other stuff they hold on to it so tightly and want so much money for it to be used, that it does not get published with their owned Works in it, it's so stupid to me I'm like what is the point of owning an intellectual property if you're not going to actually use it? So so stupid.
@moodycat bingo... They can get away with doing small incremental steps to the franchise, and one game will have bad graphics and the next one will be slightly improved, so on and so forth. Not complaining, just the way it is.
I think they are hyping this way too much, I have a feeling that we're going to be a little bit disappointed I hope not, but I don't really understand why they are saying this is remastered, it sounds like it could contain very good versions of the original games, but I'm worried about the soundtrack, and I'm also worried about end product quality, as Sega has had lots of trouble in the quality area in recent decades.
Thumper is amazing. I have asked the devs several times if they could do a revised version that had proper surround sound. And I did get one reply that just said "that would be neat" I can't remember how many channel support it has currently but the sound is amazing yet they could make it a lot deeper with a exciting multi-channel mix.
This will be awful for folks that keep it enabled. I refuse to do voice chat unless I know the people directly. Otherwise turns into 13 year olds yelling racial epithets, stereotypical slurs and potty mouth galore. Yuck. No thanks.
@Yosher yeah fast rmx racing, that should have been the new f-zero, they could have fleshed it out and made it more Nintendo style and still had shinin do the game it would have been absolutely wonderful. it's still a great game, but I really wish it was an f-zero game.
@joey302 400 physical switch games?!? Be truthful now, have you actually been able to play each and every one of them? That is an impressive collection.
@icomma did not mean to crap on them, but and I do understand if they want to work in the gaming industry with Nintendo I'm sure it's very hard and you have to go in at the bottom of the totem pole. I am blessed to live in Dallas Texas, we actually have a worker shortage.
I wonder how many folks that get into a very low level job like described in this article, how many of them have a chance to move up in the company, of course assuming they have some skills?
@TOMAWOLF same here. It is definitely the most enjoyable console I have ever had, they definitely need to increase the build quality of the joy-cons and the base unit for a switch too and of course increase the power of the system.
I think it's honestly time to copy PlayStation and just do a switch 2, 3... Do incremental upgrades that are worth the money. Keep them backwards compatible at least for one generation behind and keep the momentum moving with good software.
@Yosher Star Fox zero, I am still mad at him for that forcing using two screens at the same time, he is like , , unless there is a new innovative way to play, then he does not want to do the game, the game would have been brilliant if they would have made it more gritty instead of so clean looking, and of course let people play it the old style way which is much better and much more intuitive.
Nintendo really needs to stop the point to point laziness and do an actual server for their games, it would make things better in all directions regarding online play. That upsets me terribly that there is bots? That is not cool, Nintendo is dropping the ball. Imagine how bad Splatoon 3 could potentially become? They need to update their online gaming model to current standards.
Uggggg no. It's a money grab scheme when it comes to video games. Blockchain is a tool, and they are trying to figure out a way to use this tool to extract more money from our wallet.
Yes and this is not really a valid complaint against Nintendo per se, this is common and if it happens to you, you don't work there the whole reason they are able to do this if the accusation is even remotely true, is that because people allow it as in people buy into it they can always go get a different job.
@MostHandsieBoy yes soon as punishment is so good, I just wish I could get good at it, also try the version on wii, it is very good too I hope they release it for switch.
@HeyNavComm they will definitely bring wave race, It's still one of my favorite games to this day, The Wave race Blue Storm game just isn't as good as the N64 version, it's like the controls are off or something.
@Matl I bought my switch about a year into it, and it has many many issues thank goodness I have been able to fix most of the issues, but the plastic in the case and the build quality of the switch are an absolute joke compared to older Nintendo consoles. Games are great though LOL
@Ludovsky I hear you. But you should know, he will not be poverty stricken (not from the court case at lease) the 14 million will never be collected. I don't have a lot of pity for the guy, as he knew what he was doing. Thanks for your response.
@Kevember respectfully, why should he not pay for his crime? Also I do agree the 14 million bucks is kind of crazy but you also have to remember Nintendo won't get any of that and he will for the most part after a while be able to go on with his life.
