Switch has been my main console from launch til nov ‘22. Then I got a steamdeck and except for a couple big release, Nintendo won’t be able to get it out of my hands until they upgrade and games like eldin ring are on a Nintendo console. I don’t mind getting games late, but a switch pro is needed if Nintendo wants to keep up with the next gen games.

Well, since this article, my launch switch has died. It survived several falls, including once when I set it on top of my truck, drove down road, realized, pick up off side of road, still worked. There was several chunks of missing plastic for the casing, but it took a 4 year old to drop it out of a bunk bed onto hard wood to deliver its final blow. Screen went half dark, half blurry. however, I am still impressed but its overall life span, which is why it was replaced with a oled.

Now my steam deck is my baby, and I’ll take good care of it

@nessisonett agree, I’ve noticed I’m an addict when it comes to that game. 100s of hours on 3ds, then my pc, just yet again on Wii U, and again on switch, and again on my steam deck. I can’t stop

God of war is on steam deck, ragnarok is not on steam deck as of now. I do see it in a year or 2, but not today. There are several PlayStation exclusives, but they are gimped with no multiplayer.
I got a steam deck a couple months ago to play eldin ring, but with my pc steam library, i have 100 games already, and with the dock you can pick up, now I play spider man, on my tv, with a switch controller. That should tell you how versatile it is.

@kingbk I bought a steam deck just to play eldin ring on the go since my switch can’t do that, haven’t touched my switch in a couple months now, and probably won’t until zelda comes out. I didn’t know it has a bunch of PlayStation games I haven’t played either

I’ll keep saying that the fact the put dlc into a Wii U port, means we potentially aren’t done getting smash ultimate fighters. I don’t think these games need updates, just more fighter, stages, etc… and dlc packs like this for mk8 are well worth it if you just like to play the games.

@Kestrel I complete agree with your statement. I put well over 100 hours into X, and the only part of the story o really progressed was getting my skell, after that, it was just exploring the world.

I didn’t realize we hated on skyward sword as much as we do. I think it is a stretch to be calling totk a sequel to SS in any way other than like saying twilight princess is. They all zelda games in the same universe.
After that, skyward sword does not deserve the hate, especially the switch version which fixed the only true complaint, motion controls. It’s in no way the best 3D zelda, and reuses a couple bosses, but the world is like constantly exploring a dungeon, until you get into a dungeon, in which they are as good as any, something that botw has none of.
Zelda games are probably the only games that I could never get sick if replaying, and replay a couple a year just because. SS was my most recent.

So $70 for 4 Atari games? Is that what I’m reading?

@Tasuki I can see your point, and as someone who logged 100s of hours of uncharted online, not to mention killzone, demon souls, and now spider man…I only feel like I’m literally interacting with said movie. Spider man is awesome, playing it on my steam deck, docked, with my switch pro controller, on a 70in tv, how can anyone complain.

In topic, call of duty isn’t what it was before there was endless other fps games, and sony doesn’t need it. What I see happening is gamepass on PlayStation someday. All problems solved.

@Arkay it’s only problematic if you don’t go along with the rest of the masses.
I personally don’t care one bit what a famous person has to say about anything. Money doesn’t = wisdom.
I would like to see this run natively on switch, and be half decent as well, but I think it will end up bring a late mess better played in any other console.

I do remember this, but I actually enjoyed it more on the Wii rail shooter. The gameplay of the actual re0 didn’t click like the others did with me.
Side note, I personally think the scene in uncharted 2 where you boarding a train, then fighting your way through it as it climbs into the snow covered mountains, is some of the best action gaming you can play.

40 here and I used to think I’d outgrow gaming. Instead, gaming has grown up with me consoles like ds/3ds/WiiU/switch and now my steamdeck, have only allowed me to continue playing great games with friends as well as my kids, with the accessibility that portable adds. My ps4/Xbox 1 have been dust collectors aside from dvds, i sold my ps4 and got a quest 2 at launch, and even that gets more use then the Xbox. Not sure why we even have that…
We have 4 switch’s in the house, one for each of us boys.

Since the beginning. Played it on ps3 and always wondered why it didn’t get same level hype as gow. It’s far better gameplay wise and gow only as the story/mythology going for it.
Everyone was upset when bayo 2 was picked up by nintendo for a failing system. I still think that bayo 2 is one of the best in the genre. Any hype the 3rd game had for me is almost certainly a let down, I did not pick it up yet, as that would require me to put down elden ring and my steam deck

it going to buy and play just to say I did, then it’s back to steam deck and elden ring until botw2 comes out most likely.

Considering nintendos future known releases, I don’t see a new Mario until maybe winter 22 at earliest, but realistically by winter 23. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a sequel to 3D world before odyssey. Multiplayer Mario is better then single player only.

I’m not a big fan of sex in video games, but I argue that part of the Bayonetta series appeal is the sexual innuendo I wouldn’t play this I front of kids either way, and I joke with the wife that you too busy looking at the bad guys to notice Bayonetta.

@RichyM my son was all excited until we read on their website a few weeks ago about some of the compromises and he completely lost interested in it and just plays it on Xbox, which crashes all the time anyways. I just got a steam deck and I think he is jealous and I might be getting another for him, so he will have tabs that way instead.

As I said before, I’m more likely to boycott any future work she does before boycotting the game. Actors are over paid and if she making $250 an hour, for 16 hours, and complaining about it, 0 sympathy over here for her.
If she working making $20 an hour, and had to work months at the game, I’d understand. Training costs are an investment you make in yourself, to get an advantage over someone else. The job will pay whatever the person paying you for what it’s worth. Whoever took over the role thought the pay was decent enough.

Eldin ring on my new steam deck. I’m taking a break from switch until I get bayonetta. and that might take a back seat if my souls addiction kicks in.
There will be some smash matches with the kids mostly likely.

I wonder if this was for a days work, weeks work, months work? $4000 a month is still a $1000 a week. That’s more then I make and I’d love to be paid that much even if it was for a limited time. Any more work, I’d say she was under paid. But if she needed to do a weeks work in recording, little practice, then I’ve got 0 sympathy for her and I’d be more likely to boycott any future games, movies, etc, that she is involved in. a game developer making 50k a year makes less then we talking she could have been making.
I’m still getting this game day 1.

I got my steamdeck today. been wanting to play Eldin ring and since I play more portable, I haven’t gotten far on my Xbox. But with steamdeck, I’m sure I’ll log 1000s of hours.
After that, I will probably learn how to mod it to play some botw mods.

I don’t associate video games and music and more then I do movies and music. Yes, a well placed song can help a scene, but I also think it can hinder a scene as well. I used to play need for speed with the sound off but my own tunes on the stereo. I love to music in zelda games, it’s one of my favorite parts about the series. But as for listening to music because I heard it in a video game and want to hear it while I’m listening to my iPod, I can’t think of any songs besides 1, that I heard 1st in a video game and have looked up band and like 1 song by them…is at the beginning of borderlands, Cage the Elephant and “no rest for wicked”. I don’t like any other song on I’ve heard by them.

@HammerGalladeBro I do same thing anytime I want to buy something extra. It’s worth it. Bought at launch and since I okay a lot outside, it makes that so much better.
Side note, I’ve been picking up shifts last couple weeks since I ordered a steam deck and officially just shipped this week. I’m curious to compare the 2, but as long as I can play eldin ring on the go, I’ll be happy.

I’ve tried to play this and have yet to get through the queue. 10000 players ahead of me. If this is the future of gaming, I feel bad for all you kids who just don’t know what it was like to just buy, own, and play games. not nickel and dime you for costumes until you have spent more then you would have if you had owned it.
knock splatoon all you want, but within 5 minutes of turning on game, you are online playing.
I’m hoping to try overwatch at some point.

I will never agree to the hate star fox zero got when a game like affordable space adventures exists. Both great games, both have high learning curve when it comes to controls, just like most new games you never played. However, fan boy whining, just like Metroid other m, ruined the game for some. I still enjoy it and keep my Wii U hooked up to play both those, as well as what I wanted to say as well, is devils third. Another great game that got review bombed and because it was on Wii U and not other consoles, it sucked. Well, it’s still a decent playing, fun experience that is a solid “B” in my book.

Splatoon in 3 weeks outsold the ps5. And people think that Xbox is making headway in Japan.

So I’m sure if it’s really an issue, it’ll be patched in a month or 2. The last video when he got him through the floor…isn’t that grating possible to drop through in squid form? So it would make sense that you can shoot through that. But not the bridges. At same time, who stands still and camps long enough for this to really be an exploit? I’ve had no issues with orb the 30 or so hours I’ve logged other then I’m completely addicted to it.

I’m happy I skipped splatoon 2. I enjoyed it on Wii U, and it was a nice break until 3. Now I play 3-5 matches a day and move on. Tons of fun. But I can’t play it for hours on end.

I used to play some zelda games without collecting heart containers after boss fights. Or I tried several times to play botw with 0 deaths, starting from beginning if I died. Sad that corporate people just have no clue sometimes.

This series was always a fun one to play from beginning to end in a sitting, maybe having to restart a couple times to make it, but great hour gaming sessions. metal slug is as well

I don’t think it is going to be as good as steamworld dig or the original shovel knight game, esp with all the extra content. I know I’ll buy it, but as someone else said, this isn’t what we were expecting a sequel to look Iike. Even gameplay looks, like this cheap couch co -op bundle i picked up with 4 games…

I want this for my n64.

Picked up a modded smash cart with like 30 fighters, lots of fun. I need this too.

I just want to be able to play them on my switch, and for the most part, I can play the ones I want to. Not every game needs to redone and are just fine the way they are.
I’d rather just see a sequel to link between worlds instead of a remake of lttp. Or even just port lbtw to switch.

Some people are very good at marketing themselves. Good for him. He definitely knows how to design a good video game.

Is a switch 2 is not 100% backwards compatible, then I don’t care about graphics, our family has too much invested to think about getting another console. But I hope that Nintendo has learned from apple and steam and my music I bought 20+ years ago is still on my iPhone today, or my pc has steam games from as far back. Then I do hope for a bit better performance on some older games. Graphics don’t matter if the go back and increase resolution of doom 10 years later.

Seeing that clip above is all you need to know from show. I’m happy that’s all I ever saw of it.

I have to agree, “ Mini is more than a car, you see; it's a character you partner with to explore the road”. I’ve owned 2 bmw’s, and while I love my truck, they were the best cars I’ve ever owned and driven. I always tell people it’s like they designed a bmw to be an extension of you. They ride like luxury cars even if you own a 20 year old one, but also can do 155mph, since I’m here in the USA.

I love these articles complaining about how wrong it is we can’t get in the eshop anymore, so to teach Nintendo a lesson, let’s give them more money for things we can’t actually own before we can’t access the store anymore. That’ll teach them.

@Ferdinand_Von_Aegir I have 4 kids and myself. My launch switch is the only one that has actually died. maybe before giving parenting advice, have some kids. They get older, learn how to play games, we need more systems:

Going to have to look into blazing chrome now. I want this and never considered their first game.

I can stand these types of games every once in a while, but I could never get into borderlands. I think I’m going to pick up that game, silence, since it’s on sale and looks really good.

I’d be ok if we could just buy a switch console and not a dock. I have 2 extra docks not being used, 3 in use, and I will need to get another switch this year for one of my kids.

I rented it on nes but was not old enough to understand. However, I had a gameboy and at some point while in middle school, I got metroid 2. Best game on my gameboy! Played for probably 1000s or hours, using the magnifying light at night under the sheets. I played super Metroid at a friends and always was jealous I never had that. it wasn’t until prime 3 that I rediscovered my love for the series. I have got back and played all Metroid games countless times now except the remake on 3ds. I can’t bring myself to use that tiny little console anymore. Keep hoping it and some others(lbtw) will ported to switch someday.

Ok, so I had my doubts but after seeing the trailer, I am looking forward to this. I would love to get it for switch since I never seem to find time to really play my Xbox or ps anymore.

Back then, everyone was playing Diablo 2 and most still were even after Diablo 3 released.
When the bar is set that high, games like this just didn’t hold up then, and don’t hold up now. Not saying it was bad back then, I played the first one, but I also played Diablo 2.

@raftos It’s because they fact it’s a Chinese company that matters. There are laws stating that public companies have to be 100% transparent with all its user info. Something like tik tok, can track you through other devices that are connected to your app’s IP address device. The US government and Facebook do not have to share info the same way. The US government is trying real hard to become like the CCP.
I do not have social media since learning of these stuff years ago. I will not let tic tok on any of our kids devices.

Purchase like this are only bad for us everyday people.
I am not a criminal, but to not think that any government should ever be able to track everyday citizens or ever another countries government. Read the fine print, even Joe Rogan did a video a couple weeks ago about this. Probably 2 billion downloads too late.

Nfts are just like a type of money laundering. Same as for some large art purchases. Companies can be so corrupt and I hope no normal person pays for something like this.

Never been a favorite of mine. I enjoy all Mario games, but when I start thinking about my favorites, that one drops down on my list quick.
It has the least use of the 3 on Mario Allstars with 4 of us who play.

I have moved on from my 3ds and will never go back. Not even to actually play samus returns. I’ve played everything else plenty of times, and the only game I’ll miss if it never comes to switch or anything else will be zelda lbtw. But I’ll never go back to playing that hand cramping, eye watering tiny little console. My kids got some use out of it, but they all have switch’s and have moved on too. I’ve lost plenty of digital purchases over they years, and apple and steam and the only companies that do digital right in my opinion. I still have the same music collection for 20 years each time I change phones/iPods. My pc is no different. Nintendo said switch will be a new thing. Hopefully I’ll be playing botw on my switch 3.0 along side with botw 2 and 3, or whatever the next, next zelda is someday.
