Re: Poll: Three Months In, How Would You Rate Switch 2's Library So Far?

DrewMac80

It's easy to forget how sparse 2017 was (besides BotW) especially those first few months. I got mine Day 1 and I've put many enjoyable hours into playing games I hadn't played before. There's definitely room for growth, but better to have excellent experiences lined up for years to come than, just putting it all out there day 1

Re: We've Now Got Our First Look At Elden Ring In Handheld Mode For Switch 2

I think everyone needs to calm down until we actually see the final release (which is at the very least likely to be several weeks away), they may well be bad, as bad as they are now even but there is plenty of opportunity to improve optimisation before then so we are likely to see at least some improvement before then. Especially as Devs are gaining experience with the hardware

Re: Revived Publisher Acclaim Is Teasing Something For Next Week

Do Acclaim still hold any of their old IP? They were bought and shuttered in 2010 by a company that was subsequently bought by Disney. The press release about their re-launch made it sound like they are looking to support small developers with their experience - which sounds completely unlike Acclaim from back in the day - which is definitely a good thing

Re: Switch 2 eShop "Top-Selling" Games At Launch Revealed

I think that if you're in the fan space, whether that is as a Nintendo fan or general gaming fan, we struggle to remove ourselves from that bubble and we're probably to consumed by the groupthink too realise that for the average consumer, Welcome Tour is the cheapest Switch 2 Exclusive and might be an attractive option on their brand new console

Re: Talking Point: The Switch 2 Pre-Order Situation Sucks, But Can Nintendo Do Anything About It?

DrewMac80

I voted that I got mine without any hassle (I'm in the UK), and that is true to a point but all of the hassle I experienced was a me thing, not a retailer thing. I put it in my cart 4 or 5 times over the last few weeks and then decided not to go through with it. I then did buy it but then cancelled it immediately. I finally bit the bullet and went through with it yesterday (the MKW bundle, Cyberpunk and an SD card if you're interested), and so far I remain committed to it this time. Anyway all of that is to say that in the UK I could have ordered one at least 6 times, and can still order it now. No issues here.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price Has Been Confirmed

DrewMac80

At that price, I don't understand why they're bothering to charge for it separately rather than have it pre installed on the system. As a pack-in, a game-ified instruction manual is quirky, fun, and nice work Nintendo. Charging separately for the instruction manual is grubby and cheap and Nintendo needs to think long and hard about messaging. I won't be buying because as a consumer, it's the only weapon I have
