This is the problem with video game-"journalists", they ask one question and is satisfied with the standard PR-respons.
Journalist: "Why does your console break so easily?" Company: "We always try to improve our hardware manufacturing". Journalist"...okey, thank you!"
No follow-up questions, no sceptism. I wonder if the journalist community is just so happy they get to meet the head of Nintendo that they just want to be polite and forget their professional role.
I'm worried for the guy. I have worked in the Swedish film industry for over a decade and many of my colleagues have developed heart problems due to the extreme stress while working (16-18 hours day for months after months while have tremendous responsibilities on their shoulders). When I read stories after stories about how hard Sakurai works I become worried. He has to quit sooner rather than later before it's too late.
Wouldn’t this be a great opportunity for Limited Run Games to release this (or perhaps all titles) physical for Switch? Given that SquareEnix approves, ofc.
My subsciption has long since expired but all of my game saves were backed up when it was active. If my Switch would break now and I don’t have an active subscription, can I restore everything then (if I renew it)? I mean, Nintendo doesn’t delete every backed up game save as soon as my subscription ends?
@BANJO I have very fond memories of playing Q1 back in the 90s. I didn't have the hardware accelerated graphic so I was used to playing with pixels as big as card decks. Didn't matter! The game was - and still is! - amazing!
I’m playing FFVIII right nog on Vita. It’s magic system is a mess where you farm all kinds of magic. It’ll be attached to your stats (I know, it sounds nuts) so the minute you start using your magic (as you do in an RPG) your stat is going down and your character becomes permanently weaker. Random encounter rate is in my opinion way to high and you don't get gil after a random encounter. You get gil after taken about 24 000 steps and the amount of gil you get is determined after how many school exams (!) you've taken, and it is also calculated after how much you're using summons in fights (in the game called GF); the more you're using them, the less gil you're getting. It only adds up to you spamming "Attack" in every battle and not using GF or magic. The enemy levels scales to your party so the more you level up and become stronger, the same happens to every enemy around you. This causes you not to explore the areas so that you not trigger random encounters (and level up).
What an up-side-down-RPG.
However it IS a cool experiment by Square so it’s nice to see that it’s being remasterd.

Re: Poll: What Switch Online N64 Game Are You Most Excited About?
”1080 Snowboarding”. Played it more than any other Nintendo 64-game back in the days. I was unbeatable playing ”Golden forest” as Ricky Winterborn.

Re: Final Fantasy VII And VIII Remastered Physical Twin Pack Expected To Be Released Soon
Does anyone know if this will be released in the west at a later date?
Just the thought of owning "Final Fantasy VII" on a physical cartridge to a Nintendo machine is mind-blowing.

Re: You'll Need A Bethesda Account To Play DOOM And DOOM II On Switch
So these games I bought will be unplayable on my Nintendo Switch in 20 years after the servers shut down?
What a way to preserve games for the future...
