i do believe a switch pro is happening but this feels INSANELY MISLEADING, this is being framed as if he's confirming it's existence when he's just trying to talk about how oled is popular and used the switch pro rumors as an example
im totally expecting an announcement for a switch pro this june, i understand the doubt of it happening since "leakers" have been claiming it would happen for years with nothing happening, this year however we've gotten datamines for a new model, samsung saying they their displays are being added to future gaming consoles which(they left unamed), nvidia stopping production of the current chip in the switch models
also in the past nintendo would say "we have no new models planned this year" last year but this year "there is nothing we can tell you" seems very tongue and cheek
@johnvboy i think what happened was after botw's massive success, nintendo's expectations for metroid prime increased a lot, they probably wanted to reset development in hopes that they could make prime 4 the botw of the fps genre
i think even if what bandai made was on par with the previous prime games nintendo would still have reset development
1. this game will be an absolute mess which will be mocked for years to come for how bad it was despite completely restarting development and hiring the best in the industry
2. this game will be one of the best fps games ever made that will develop similar popularity to half life
it really feels like nintendo is betting A LOT on this game
i always expected it to be compromised but there are a lot of issues that need to be fixed, i dont mind 30fps too much but the game dips framerate dramatically and the ui glitches out a lot, a lot of more demanding games look blurry like this port however this game requires you to pay attention to enemies at great distance unlike something like doom or xenoblade. it's still fun to play and i think we'll see noticeable improvements overtime. its another game that makes me hope the switch pro rumors are true
after thinking for a bit im figured out why i dont like the gen 4 remakes, previous remakes reimagined the original games while gen 4 just gives the games 3d models
if the switch pro happens they should give it a mic, it'd be such a simple yet fantastic inclusion to help sell it. the switch's current state of voice chat is atrocious
kind of annoying since i just got the lrg of the first 2(which is fantastic btw), with that said i wonder if they plan to do something with them again, it's safe to assume they'll do something for the 3rd entry but i wonder if they'll do anything with the 3 pack?
perhaps this will be the august 28th announcement, i know some people dont want a pro because certain third parties will probably only develop for the pro version but it'd be really nice to have a switch that can play games like botw, doom, or overwatch at 60 fps, it'd be nice to play games like xenoblade 2 without looking like mush
this could have been received well if it was included in the previous stream, the decision to hype this up as a "big project" and a standalone focus of a Pokemon presents feels incredibly out of touch and tone deaf.
i wish hasbro would make a new deal with activation because they've been handling remakes really well and it would be cool to see them remaster wfc/foc
i feel like vr would be the only effective use for a second screen. a wii u type gamepad for a new switch model would be incredibly niche and i dont see people paying more to look down at their controller when it didn't work for the wii u sales
1. blaster master zero 2: the story is really campy but has it's charm. the gameplay is a massive improvement from the first and is an overall great metroidvania with great music
2. Anodyne: so this game actually came out in 2013 but it released on the switch this year and i wasn't aware of it's existence till it showed up on the eshop. the gameplay is really simple and very similar/ simplified version of the legend of zelda however the star of the show is the atmosphere and great writing along with it's story and music that compel you to keep going. i didn't get it until it was temporarily on sale but if your'e interested in game with an interesting narrative this is worth full price($10)
