It’s been 15 years since a new elder scrolls. And 11 years since Fallout 4. You can’t just sit there and do nothing for that long and not expect consequences. I think it has been said Microsoft is LOSING 64¢ on every dollar right now. You are saying these people ARE the industry? Then what the hell have they been doing for 15 years?!!! Goodbye and good riddance.
I bought two of the $60 sets holiday 2024 for my boys because GameStop had them for $30. They were excited. We played the game. And then spent months looking mostly unsuccessfully for more cards to spend birthday and allowance money on. Now my kids still enjoy a pack when received but we all just roll our eyes in disgust about the whole thing. Those same $60 packs now go for $90 at GameStop. IF you can get one. And hey it’s actually a REALLY fun game! Seems most have forgotten about the whole GAME part lol.
Thanks! I can skip a game lol. I’ve too many to play right now anyways. The yoshi games haven’t been appealing to me goodness since…super Mario world 2?
I do enjoy having physical games. They look nice on a shelf. And being able to go back and play them later is nice as well. But I do get tired of the (probably not as big of a deal as I make it to be) decision of which 11 physical games are going with me on a trip. With digital they’re just all there. A click away. Storage becomes the issue. Even on my ROG ALLY X I have 1TB internal and 1TB external and still not enough room. The issue for me down the road will be storage size and price. My 512GB express card is already painful.
@Nao120 yep I totally agree. I have many stories of my kids losing 3DS and switch game cards lol. My only issue is storage. I have a 512 GB card and I’m already out of room. Here’s hoping the 1 TB goes down in price or gets some good sales this holiday season.
A little confusing the switch 2 update is 1.0.20 not 1.1.10. Otherwise seems much crisper and running better. Water reflections in handheld. Just found a Bo in a chest. Really enjoying this game.
@Misima trump won the popular vote by a wide margin. You are putting that label on over half the voting age people in America. That’s a pretty bold statement
@CaptainQuo I will reply once more and then let it go. I appreciate you being nice and open to talk.
A journalist should report facts and data.
The comments section is for thoughts and opinions.
It shouldn’t be the other way around. As I read thru this comments section there are many people’s opinions who I don’t agree with. But that’s totally ok. It’s their right to say it. I think some of them are dead wrong. But it’s ok because it’s their opinion and their right to speak it.
I hope you’re right about the UK. I would rather be wrong about such a thing. I hope you have a good rest of your day.
@CaptainQuo all you have to do is a quick google search to see the UK is in the middle of a free speech crisis. And again that has nothing to do with our discussion. It doesn’t matter if I’m wrong or right. It’s a comments section. It does matter if the news media is wrong or right though.
@CaptainQuo yes because I’m not a journalist. And that’s what the comments section is for. Speaking your thoughts and opinions. But that’s not what journalism should be
Glad I’m not the only one noticing the lock down on political article comments sections.
Of course this is a UK based website where freedom of speech no longer exists for the most part anyways so maybe it’s par for the course.
Anyway I’ve really appreciated this website over the years. I almost left it recently but it’s one of the few spots where you can get good Nintendo news. I especially appreciate the game update info.
So maybe approach politics without bias. Instead of “the orange haired maniac is gonna increase tariffs again” you can just you know, report the facts. “Nintendo will only get a short reprieve from tariffs.” And let the people decide their own opinions. Just my two cents.
Be cool if there was some info on where these can be played now. Like NSO or castlevania collection etc. otherwise great list. This was much of my childhood ❤️
Can’t wait to play RE9 although I bought the bundle and haven’t played 7 or 8 so it will be a while before get to 9. Here’s hoping we get ports of 2-4 remakes too!
@dskatter a quick google search brings up BOTW/TOTK, the Witcher 3, mortal combat 11 and 1, Lego Star Wars, pokemon arceus as well as violet/scarlet, monster hunter rise and on and on. But whatever man
@dskatter well I may be out of the loop but it seems much more noticeable than the switch 1. To me anyways. Skyrim 60FPS mode is blurry in handheld and sharp and crisp in docked mode. AC Shadows has major graphics differences between docked and handheld. If IRC many switch 1 games performed WORSE docked. I could be wrong though.
Well I already pre-ordered fallout 4 and the resident evil 3 pack. Why not throw a Pokémon game in there as well! Turning into an expensive week! But definitely an exciting one for gaming.
Sooooo basically now you can see the game in 30FPS or you can have blurry visuals at 60FPS. Good job Bethesda! I put it back in quality mode because the visuals are terrible at 60FPS
I only bought it because I got it for $40. Played thru it once. Will more than likely never play it again. Meanwhile I’m itching for another run of Dread and Prime remastered.
I managed to pick up the game for $40 because of GameStop. With all the bad press around the game I wouldn’t have paid $70 for it. Upon playing it I found it to be…good! Not great. But good. And it’s the first game I sat down to 100% in a while because it felt manageable. 16 hours 100%. So to me it I’m learning more and more to ignore the online ranting. I’d say the 78 on metacritic is a good score. And it’s not a bad thing. Is the game genre changing? No. Was it good. Yeah. Was it worth $70. That’s a deeper topic.

Re: Video: The Great Physical Vs. Digital Switch 2 Debate
