....Just...why? It's a slap in the face to not try to do anything special with it. I'm sure the franchise is selling well enough on Switch, which is why they are bothering in some ways, but it's sad that they don't add any effort.
@Mgene15 I own a ps4, but no internet, and I'm not sure if I even plan on getting it soon. It's literally gathering dust since everything has to be downloaded. With my Switch I take it to work and use the wifi there for downloads. Everyone's situation is different and the obvious road isnt always straightforward when people want other avenues to open.
I don't think its typical for a person to have a triple digit Jersey number, and even more is the fact that it was indeed the date of a Poke Direct, means that it could potentially be a correct theory. It would be a cute one if it does turn out to be true.
I'm currently playing My time at Portia. As laggy as it can be, I am truly enjoying this game. It's a nice time waster while waiting for animal crossing. I just started it a few days ago, and I'm on my second season.
I've currently restarted Pokemon Ultra Sun. When it first came out I didnt really have much interest in playing it, but I'm enjoying it a lot so far! When I go to work I usually play Mario kart with my coworkers so that too come tomorrow night. 3rd shifter here. Lol
I'm looking forward to everything on the list. Lol I'm glad animal crossing didnt fall out of the 2019 release window!
This year is still shaping up to go out with a bang. Nintendo has my wallet in their clutches and don't want to let go.
This game looks awesome. That aside, it is a shame a spin off is coming to switch and not ps5 itself, considering the core audience are those that have played persona 5 I'm sure. Its kind of like Pokemon Mystery Dungeon releasing on ps4, and not a main line title in the series.
I'd buy and play this. I will buy this. Lol Just at this point I have to decide if I'll get ps5 for my ps4 or not.
I'm still stuck wondering how they decided to make a Detective Pikachu movie in the first place, and now even more surprised to know it's most likely good and enjoyable. Lol
So not only console parity, we also get exclusive content basically? If it's true, I'm more excited for it. I love gaming with my brother so local coop would be amazing.
And it ain't no lie. Bye, bye, bye. I can't, nor, will I support this. Third party be darn. It's pointless to try to swindle people with a game box with nothing more than digital content inside. Again, this is just my opinion on it. Perhaps box collectors can find a love, but my heart isnt swayed.
@dimi
I'm not disagreeing in full, but I believe the true problem with this is that there are hardly any major 3rd party exclusives on switch, and the 3rd party titles that do come out are ports or delayed titles.
Perhaps the boy is sincere and it is truly his mother pushing for the lawsuit. He could very well have been happy that the dance was represented. The root of all evil is money I suppose and they know epic has a lot of it.
I'm so happy to hear this! If only because it means we should definitely never go for want of games during the switch's lifetime.
The sad part of Wii u were the droughts and I'm already happy with what we have on switch, and the future is looking pretty darn bright with what we know to be coming in the next year alone.
Congrats on the success nintendo! Not that they dont have faults that can definitely be worked on, but overall I'm happy with my little travel companion.
@cobalt Um, your point being what exactly? ^^; Because I don't see the problem with this for those that would be interested in a physical copy of the game. Looking terrible and being terrible are two different things, and i didn't realize this game could be judged in its entirety yet for being a terrible experience not worthy of having these sort of viable options to all consumers.
It's a gorgeous game, and I loved it on ps4, but I have a hard time accepting the digital only price point and download size. I am currently low on space so I'm being a tad picky because of that.
Maybe whenever it has a future sale I will consider buying it then, but I guess they didn't believe in switch sales for this particular title physically.
@Cobalt
It's all opinion.
If you think the outside of the car looks good and you say so, it doesnt take away from the outside of the car, right? But you start that same car and it stutters every few blocks, it's like looking at the animations for this game. However, as everyone has already said, that can be ironed out before release.
So if they think the game looks good, I do not understand why you even have a problem with THEIR opinion.
I haven't dipped into the expansion pass yet so this is wonderful news indeed. I will be getting the physical edition, but as I'll be out of town a few months more I'm glad to hear that I can just open an email to add it to my current gaming experience.
The offline play argument just doesn't really make any sense to me, but if someone would like to go in more detail about it, I'd love to hear it because maybe I'm missing something in regards to why people bring it up.
You don't have to play Overwatch any differently than you would on a PS4 or your laptop. The graphical downgrades, sure, I understand those points. The offline one? I just don't get it.
Personally, I'd play a game like this docked at home or over a friends house, or even try to play it somewhere with a stable internet connection. It being on a platform like this just becomes another option for the Nintendo audience.
A lot of you guys haven't seen how many people liked the NoA tweet I take it. Nobody cares that its late. They're just happy its finally coming, and not that far away either.
@BigKing It was a first year switch game that wasn't on par with other systems. I'm sure it didn't sell as well as the others for having both a smaller install base than other systems at the time, and for other people similar to me unwilling to pay for a version that didn't offer what the others had.
EA isn't the only 3rd party out there. When they get on Bethesda levels of loyalty then I'll think about acknowledging EA then.
Thank you, thank you.
I really wanted this game, but its 24.99 so I wanted to hear a second opinion first. It didn't help that there weren't too many people that seemed interested when it released. A 7 for the experience seems fine to me, so I'll eventually pick it up. Value is a huge plus, and it seems like a fun experience.
I currently have enough gold points for six dollars off something now, which in the current moment feels awesome to me. I do hope to continue to see an evolution to it over time in some way however.
This was a good read. I'm glad that it's still unique and interesting despite its few shortcomings. Still a definite purchase from me tomorrow. Thanks for the review. (:
@BigYellow
It's more for the comment where they clapped their hands. We. Can. Do. Whatever. We. Want. Or something of that nature.
Which is very much true, but it could have been said a lot more tastefully. They made a post saying how they wanted a Switch dev kit and even one saying they received a Switch dev kit, which has gotten some people's hopes up that it may be coming to the platform eventually. It would have been nice for an actual follow up to that by stating they would not be bringing the game to Switch for whatever reasons.
While a tad bit disappointing it's not a deal breaker for me. I didn't think it would be in the first place. (Maybe that's me being cynical. haha) It's a game I have never played before, with a decent price point(cheaper than LA Noire for instance with the DLC).
The Switch's user base is rising steadily too, so I don't think it'll be hard to find people to partner up with personally if interest in this game on the go is there. I'm just glad it's coming to Switch. It's a nice era to be in.
@StuTwo
Geez, there's PushSquare for positive Playstation news. They are sister sites.
I mean, after all, it's not like PushSquare mentions all of Nintendo's shining moments as a Playstation news site. Obviously, there will be a Nintendo bias on a Nintendo site.

Re: Tekken 7 For Switch Depends On Fan Demand According To Katsuhiro Harada
