I get that it would have been a ton of work getting them natively, but reality is that most Switch owners are not going to buy the cloud versions of these games. I have to think that the cost of porting these games natively would have been significantly offset by the amount of Switch owners who would have purchased them, there is no way they would not have turned a profit on them, they are probably losing money on their decision (in comparison) to go with cloud versions instead of actual ports.
I want it but I am definitely waiting for reviews to see how that stick holds up before I get one, I may be one of the few but I love the form factor of the N64 controller.
That is actually more than I expected price wise, I do think it is worth it for N64 games but they have to do better about adding them more frequently.
I still have this game on GameCube, goes for a pretty penny now and out of the Paper Mario games I have played it is definitely the best, looking forward to playing Paper Mario 64 when the games are added later this month.
Ten to fifteen bucks more a year is worth it to me for N64 games, I don't ever play the games I get with PlayStation Plus and that service is 60 bucks normally, while I would actually play N64 games, I would love to.
That is actually a very reasonable and fair price for a physical collection, it's basically the price of the games on the eShop, just combined, no Switch tax to get them physical.
After hearing so many people rave about this game I plan on getting it at some point, I just have so much on my plate right now that I don't know when I would get around to playing it, but it looks so good.
They aren't bad for most games, I actually really like the dpad which most people seem to disagree on but for shooters the analog sticks are useless, even with gyro to help compensate. But if you just play Zelda and Mario, basically anything but a shooter they are pretty great controllers really, just be prepared to have to maintain them because of the drift.
This man deserves a long vacation but I have a feeling he is a busy body and won't want to rest on his achievements, I think he just loves what he does, I would love to see him take on something other than Smash, let him go wild with a new IP.
As someone who plays alot of Switch in handheld mode it is tempting, particularly if you have lots of disposable income. I usually like to have to best version possible of each system so I get to experience games at their best but I am not sure I want to take the plunge right now.
Wow I knew it would be good but did not expect it to be this good, I probably will be running out and buying it this weekend, Metroid is back and in great form! Very happy.
I have been waiting for these games to come to Switch for so very long and I even expected it to happen alongside a reveal of Sora being in Smash, that them being cloud versions of the games has me very disappointed. After all this waiting this is what we get, Switch owners deserve better.
Even if the dock is 4k capable this probably most likely going to be a feature for the next Switch, if developers are just now getting 4K dev kits like the rumors suggest then it would be at least a few years before we see anything from them, which would put it in the timeline of the next Switch, the chip shortage could push things back further because right now there just aren't enough chips to even make the systems.
This is actually a good move since Konami themselves can't be trusted to make a quality game nowadays, Sonic Mania is proof fans are better at knowing what makes a game great than the company that owns the IP.
Personally I don't like it that much, the old one has much more color, I don't understand why so many companies change their logos into a more boring look, like RARE for instance.
@Arkantos2990 There are alot of games that would be great on NSO but like you said that costs money and most companies would rather release their own collections instead of putting them on the service, there is more money in it for them that way.
I was worried about this, although it would be nice to get a free upgrade I won't complain, it is much better than the alternative of buying the complete collection again, so I am happy.
Probably going to be playing some more Cruis'n Blast and could possibly start Luigi's Mansion 3, I bought it almost a year ago on Black Friday and have been waiting until the fall to play it.
Personally I loved it, it was the first direct where I yelled with delight and nerded out when stuff was revealed, definitely one of the best directs I can remember, at least for my taste.
I nerded out when this was announced, love this game and can't wait to play it all over again, this combined with everything else probably made this my favorite Nintendo Direct that I can remember, no joke.
In the video they showed Banjo Kazooie as a future game to be added and that makes me very happy, gimme that and Tooie and Jet Force Gemini while you are at it and I will be thrilled.
If we don't get the option to purchase this seperately I will be irritated, I got the collection almost on day one, and loved it, shouldn't have to buy it again to get the full experience.
Don't care about voice chat although it is important, would rather have the ability to use any screenshot as a theme like other consoles do. Or offer customizable themes.
Regardless of the value of the offering I hope the game does well because we need more games like this, instead of the usual big selling IP. Not everything needs to be a big time consuming adventure, although I do love those at times.
@Michaelrojelio84 Yeah the Bluetooth isn't perfect but is more than good enough if you have good headphones, it's the only way I will be playing Switch now.
@NotoriousWhiz I have have had no problems, I watch movies and play games and see very minimal latency, not even noticable to me, but I have newer headphones. It works perfectly for me.
I have been loving the Bluetooth update, being able to use headphones both docked and portably has been a godsend, even the PS4 doesn't support native Bluetooth without specific headsets if I recall correctly.

Cloud versions? Well that's a definite pass for me.

Being October I am going through Luigi's Mansion 3, seems fitting this time of year.

Thimbleweed Park was my first foray into the point and click genre and it was a great time, even if the puzzle solutions are obtuse at times.
Re: Poll: Do You Use The Black Or White Theme On Your Nintendo Switch?
Black, since it is much easier on my eyes, and fits the standard red and blue Switch a bit better imo.

Re: Video: We've Actually Played Metroid Dread, Does It Meet Our Expectations?
Weirdly enough I am actually more worried about Prime 4 delivering than Dread, I had little doubt this game would be good.
Re: Switch's N64 Controller Is Hiding Some Extra Buttons
But is the stick better? That's my question, personally I always loved how the N64 controller felt it just didn't last long.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 25th)

Re: There's An Animal Crossing: New Horizons Update Coming Soon, And Brewster's Back
About time, his exclusion was jarring for me. I just hope there is more to it this time than getting paid in coffee beans.
Re: Nintendo Is Releasing N64 And Sega Genesis Wireless Controllers
Only way I will get an N64 controller is if the sticks last longer this time around, those things were so fragile.

Re: PSA: Remember To Update Your Joy-Con, As Well As Your Nintendo Switch
@HedgehogEngine Ha ha most of that tech stuff went over my head, I am far from an audiophile, I am just saying for me it more than suits the job.
Re: PSA: Remember To Update Your Joy-Con, As Well As Your Nintendo Switch

Re: PSA: Remember To Update Your Joy-Con, As Well As Your Nintendo Switch
I have been loving the Bluetooth update, being able to use headphones both docked and portably has been a godsend, even the PS4 doesn't support native Bluetooth without specific headsets if I recall correctly.
