Re: Epic Mickey: Rebrushed Joins A Trio Of THQ Nordic Titles Getting The Switch 2 Treatment

@orbots So then the game key card is better than buying a game digitally then? Because if you were able to like, buy a game key card of a digital-only 3DS game, you would still be able to download that still. Also I fail to see how this doesn't work in the modern day because there are like, loads of games that need day one patches cartridge or not.

So you just eventually want to sell your games right? Are you buying games because they'll go up in value one day or because you actually want to play them? Because sure, if you want to come here and say that you want to play it on PS5 because you can sell the disc 15 years from now for 14 bucks then sure that's actually a good reason instead of going "GAME KEY CARD BADD!!! ITS JUST BAD"

Oh no the digital store will go down in 20+ years!
Definitely nothing at all will happen to your cartridges though, it's not like they'll be lost with the system if you ever lose it, or burned with your house or eaten by a dog, or stolen or the flash chips will fail like sealed 3ds games have been.

Honestly Im just tired of this being a huge grandstand by the community, that you all are "better" than everyone buying them digitally because you bought a tiny piece of plastic and gold with data on it.

Re: Nintendo Shows Off Icon Design Proposals For Switch 2's 'C' Button

DiceRobo

This is partially goomba fallacy on me, but it feels like a year and a half ago everyone were practically screaming that the switch 2 needs system level voice chat. It was one of the most requested features of the original switch right behind themes for the os. Now most of the comments here don't care about it one bit.

I like the little sound wave button, 1st column 4th row.

Re: 13 Switch Emulators Hit By Latest Wave Of Nintendo Takedowns

DiceRobo

Switch emulation is the same in my head as AI generation:
Uses extra electricity for something that could be done with less powerful hardware
Steals from artists
People that support it always yell how much better it is

Though this is apparently a huge shame that Nintendo has done this, but the story from a few weeks ago had people begging them to use their legal power.

Re: Video: Nintendo Gives Us A Closer Look At Switch 2's GameCube Controller

if you couldn't get this, 8bitdo made a mod kit to replace the board of an original. It's pretty good and probably what I'll be using for Gamecube on the Switch 2. It has clickable sticks and it lets you reuse the shell of a broken gamecube controller if you have one, and you can have different colors! It doesn't have a normal usb c charging port and obviously no Game Chat button though.

Re: Video: 10 GameCube Games We Want On Switch 2's Online Expansion Pack

DiceRobo

I want the Mario Party games! Especially if they could get the switch mic to work with 6 and 7!

Hopefully if they do put Melee on it they really make sure it's working right. But knowing everything it'll probably be like Ocarina on Switch Online where to a layman like me it felt fine, but to a Speed runner who has played 5 hours of the game nearly every day for multiple years it felt bad.

Not saying that people complaining isn't justified for how much the service costs, it's just tiring with everyone saying the same thing over and over again.

Re: Opinion: Steam Deck Fans Are Seriously Underestimating The Switch 2

DiceRobo

When it comes to value arguments and how everyone should just buy the steam deck, people leave out how much a library of games could cost.

What I mean is I already am well invested into the switch library, more than my steam library. Yes I could get those games for cheap during a sale, but it would still require buying the games again. Also a lot of games I do own have problems and would require a purchase of a newer version on steam. Two I can think of are burnout paradise and Star Wars battlefront 1&2.

Minecraft bedrock will also never come to Steam Deck, and i do not want to wait for Java controller mods to have to update to new versions.

@Idontfare calm down about the dock man, is it really so serious you have to call it a piece of trash?

Re: Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack Now Boasts 300 Playable Titles

DiceRobo

I did the math, and if all of these games cost what they would on virtual console, based on the prices from Wii U eShop, it's over $2000. This could buy you and 7 other people a family expansion pass for 25 years.

The values I used are :
Gameboy and NES for $5
SNES and GBA for $8
N64 for $10
And GameCube for $15

Amounts were in the list from this website.
