I voice chat with friends when playing Smash Bros or Mario Kart using other voice chat services. I commonly use Facebook Messenger on my phone, which is not that bad.
Altered Beast emulation is bad indeed. Sonic 1 however is very decent. Although I can't get my Moga controller to work despite saying it being compatible with the game.
I actually have pretty small hands, so the Joy Con size is not an issue for me. The video makes it even more inconvenient as bulky. Just get a Pro Controller, or get the Hori wired controller. It's cheaper too. (But you'll miss out on the HD Rumble and motion controls.)
Really exciting list both Switch and 3DS. Of course the Switch line up is much better, but I'm still glad that the 3DS is still being supported. (Unlike Wii U) 3DS has really been my favorite Nintendo handheld of all time. I'll truly miss it once Nintendo stops supporting it.
@OorWullie The fact that EA is so lazy that they would even reuse the exact same thing from previous games as far as from a generation ago. It's no surprise if the visuals on the Switch are gonna be bad, especially since it's not gonna use the Frostbite Engine.
So it's only missing a story mode? I'm actually okay with that. I don't even buy sports games for story anyway, so it's no big loss or anything. Still kinda upset that the performance is not gonna be good though. Sure, 1080p in TV Mode, but the graphics will look like the PS3 and 360. Extremely lazy on EA, so for that I'm not gonna pay full price on it. I'll wait till it gets a price drop.
As much as I love the Nintendo Switch, I still don't think it'll reach Wii sales. The Wii was just an extremely lucky coincidence with the casual customer, back then when phone games were still a novelty and the Wii just happened to appeal to that market specifically in a perfect moment. The Switch is more targeted towards those who are more into video games aside from smartphone games. For sure it'll outsell the Wii U, GameCube, and even the N64. But no way it'll outsell the Wii.
@CrazedCavalier The thing is, it's extremely simple and cheap to make. It's just a collection of games on an emulator. That's not demanding to any hardware at all. There's no excuses.
EA being EA as usual. I was actually gonna buy the game for the first time in years, heck, even buying it every two years. But no. We're getting a half baked game with missing features and still asking for full retail price. Now I'm not gonna pay them at all. I'll just buy it used from someone else for a much reasonable price when available.
EA really makes me mad, always coming up with excuses and are extremely lazy buttholes. Epic Games with their Unreal Engine 4 worked hard to get the it ruining on the Switch flawless and I respect them a lot. EA is the complete opposite. They're not trying at all, they don't work hard, and always recycles their games. If they actually put work into it, they can get the Frostbite Engine with on the Switch, but no. They just want money without caring the customer. I'm over EA for good, even on other consoles.
Nothing as always. Just lame rewards. Not surprised at all. It's all expected at this point. Only a miracle can only make this rewards system actually good.
A wise man once said that review scores ruins people experience in gaming. An opinion shouldn't be coming from one random review, thus hindering that could be a hidden gem. The opinion should be from you because you are the one playing the game for yourself, not from others.
@rjejr The same thing could've​been said with Zelda, but it didn't. Switch version outsold the Wii U version by more than double despite the Wii U having a larger base. That just shows the Wii U is even more of a failure.
@Yalaa You might want to give that a second thought. Melee by far has the largest percentage of clones in the roster. Why? It was rushed. Only 11 months of development. Sakurai really wanted a lot of characters, which explains why almost half of Melee's roster are clones. Luigi and Dr. Mario are Mario Clones, Young Link is clone of Link, Pichu is clone of Pikachu, etc. Hell, nobody expected Ganondorf to be a Captain Falcon clone.
Just as long as Sakurai has time, he can make more original characters.
@VENOMVSCARNAGE Melee is not balanced at all. Only 6 characters are viable, and most are clones. Why? The game was rushed. And character roster doesn't affect balance. Like everyone else said, Smash 4 is very balanced and most characters are viable. Not to mention that patches are a thing and exploits can be fixed immediately. Your argument has been invalidated multiple times.
I use all modes almost evenly. At home, I play in TV Mode. At school, I play it in Handheld Mode. With friends, I play it in Tabletop Mode. The Switch adaps pretty well in almost every environment!

It was good. Nothing spectacular aside from Mario Oddesy and Metroid Prime 4. Good games were shown regardless.

It's lazyness. Epic Games was hard at work getting their Unreal Engine 4 to run on the Switch. EA hasn't done anything.
