Imagine telling my younger self that bought a Gamecube for 100 bucks back in 2004 that the price of PS3 would make a comeback, 5+ years after the console's release. He would laugh at me like I was a senile boomer or something.
You don't need to play the games to become a fan. You just need to watch them on youtube and then you can consider yourself just as big of a fan as those who played them.
Just kidding. You should start with the very first Resident Evil, is what I would like to say, but since it's only available on GOG and PSN, the remake should suffice.
"This is the English language version of the game. Because this version replicates the way the game was originally released, each language version is separate and there are no in-game options to change the language. Please verify the language of the game before completing your purchase."
Translation: We are "completely unable" to offer a launcher that allows language selection. Best we can do is offer this ̶R̶O̶M̶ ̶f̶i̶l̶e̶ port at a premium price.
Nintendo's whack-a-mole of 2 Switch emulators (Yuzu, Ryujinx) has produced a hydra. But I'm totally, TOTALLY, sure that this time will really be the last we hear of them.
Metal Gear Solid 4 releasing on Switch as well? Bold move, considering how Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 run worse than PS3 on Switch. Not to add, that Metal Gear Solid 4 didn't exactly have the most solid of frame rates on PS3.
If the upgrade is free, what's the point of the game-key card? The branding? Couldn't they just put a disclaimer like "Free Switch 2 version via update" or something?
It took ConcernedApe 4 years, give or take, to release Stardew Valley. Since he is still going the solo developer route (while at the same time releasing updates for Stardew Valley), I'm not surprised that it's taking him this long. Humorously, people back then were also worried that Stardew Valley would never release and some of them were getting frustrated that he was rejecting help, because he wanted to do things on his own.
"so why it's taken this long to come to Switch is beyond us".
Likely because it's a bunch of licensed games that would have required a new contract for new platforms. It's also very telling that the collection is not handled by Capcom (the original publisher), who might have not seen the idea as particularly profitable.
@Dee123 But are they a small indie company that is being held back by weak hardware and/or the big, bad Pokemon Company, or are they really that bad of a developer? That's what this release will show.
Here is the litmus test. Can Game Freak actually create a good-looking 3D game? 3DS was "holding them back". Switch was "holding them back". Pokemon was "holding them back". Now? No excuses.
