I'd play the first 4 or 5 hours or so, didn't gel with me at all, didn't like to play as Zelda and the echoes mechanic was very tiresome to me for some reason, trying to find the right echoe to summon never felt right (almost as tiresome as to find the right item in ToTK) my kids did like the game and finished so no money wasted.
I have no complaints, wish it had a better launch line up but still, pretty much what was expected given It basically launched with 1 game, (all the others stuff was already available on other platforms) and that is something only nintendo can get away with. Bananza looks like odyssey 2.0 so until Metroid drops, it will be an expensive way of playing my backlog.
@Slideaway1983 yes, is right there in the user terms of agreement.
But please don't let me (or anyone for thst matter) prevent you for using your MIG cartridge on your console, no need to let me know how that works for you.
@Misima Hello fellow gamer, I don't think its unfair, I just think the other user (to whom I did replied is using logic to justify things the wrong way) If you happen to have a falty product and end up losing your property, that is unfortunate and im sorry (it has happened to me too so, I feel you mate) having someone braking your car's window and taking stuff away, that is a crime, (it has happen to me too) but you don't see me buying a pirate Samsung tablet or a pirate HP laptop just so I can left my originals at home so they don't get stole or I'd lose em.
This isn't legit by any means (if you are talking about the MIG cart) it is not an official product made by Nintendo, it just seems you are trying to use logic to justify laziness.
Buy a case (to store your games when out of your house) and lern how to take care of things (so you dont lose your cartridges)
@MTMike87 Even thou you make a more than reasonable arguments on your post, I don't know if I fully agreed with you. I mean, Im on the older side of things (have 2 kids and reaching 40 years old) and I do test stuff if buying 2 hand. (Assuming this is a generational thing) Iphones are the some of the most (if not the most) popular phones on the market, I sure anybody who's going to buy a second hand Iphone know it has to be clean from any account.
People have learned to not buy a 2 hand Iphone that as already an Apple account associated with the divice (most of the times those are stolen phones) I guess if what you said is true, people will have to learn that With Nintendo products going forward.
Im sorry but im with Nintendo this time, (no "I paid for it so I can do whatever I want with it" BS) and for those going for a second hand Switch, you should do two things before buying:
●If you are in a public place, share internet with your phone so you can check it is not banned from online services.
●Buy only a system that has been factory restored and has no Nintendo account attached (and run the already mentioned test)
Well, it did not came as a Big surprise, when I first saw the game I get the oddisey vibe to the point i did considered this just a skin of that game, however koizumi is yet to let me down so fingers crossed
@Jeronan got it, thank you for the reply. I read somewhere that Nintendo used 2 screen suppliers and that on one of the screens this issue is more noticeable, maybe thats the reason it is more evident for some players, IDK, mine's look fine to me (but i have played just a few hours undocked)
I only have played a couple of hours MKW and Metroid Dread for a couple hours and enjoy my playtime just fine, however i have a question for the geeky guys, can this thing be solved via some firmware update?
Ny reasons for this are as follow: ●I did only buy MKW since is the only game not available in other platforms
●Will hold back on buying more games just because the Investment of a new game console ● will sell my copies of SF6 and Cyberpunk before buying the games again
●Game key cards and the prices of the SD express are holding me from buying new digital games
As the saying goes "play stupid games, win stupid prices" what they were thinking? That they could get away with this? Guess they found out the hard way
As many others have already said, gaming is one thing I do enjoy the most by myself so, this is an easy no from me, cool for the people that are interested in it.
I have the gamepass (ultimate) and didn't even knew till I played a game somebody gave me on my birthday (april) will game on switch 2 but im guessing ill relay on games depending the same factors as before, if its an exclusive on other platform, performance, availability and now pricing, I prefer to play on Nintendo consoles but will never pledge loyalty to no company, I will always look on my best interest.
They aren't going for money (but they can and most likely will do make Genki to spend alot of money into this) on this one, they will make a example of them, and rightfully so... Play stupid games, win stupid prices
The game looks fun and all but that price point, can't be justified. If I happen to grab the Switch 2 bundle i guess will be going for it but I don't like to buy AAA games Digital, I want to be able to resale my games if I want to. As a Consumer, I don't want to not have options and this, at least to me, feels like Nintendo cutting my options short.
I beat this game on gamecube 15 years ago or so, did it again on WiiU a few years ago, will buy it for sure if realesed on modern hardware but for now im good, thank you Nintendo
I have the definitive controler on my gulikit kk3 Which has analog triggers and a switch to stop those trigger buttons halfway if i wanted to. (And LOTS of others customization options) why everyone else does not have one of this vastly superior controller its really, beyond my understanding.
Have Nintendo decided on making this as an early adopter gift (lets say, the first few million consoles) the hardcore fans will be happy and whoever else that want to play it will have to pay and then, there's the collectionist crowd who could have made this an object of cult (raising its price and maybe even value) but oh well, some companies will never get it
That's some arbitrary comment right there, I don't doubt the games will be fun, that's the reason we are fans in the first place but genre defining? We'll see about that
Nintendo will be dumb to not release DLC for their holly cow (the MK franchise) it embodies all for what Ninty wants to be known for (having fun with family and friends) it's their biggest game (much more than Zelda or even mainline Mario) so DLC its a given. Having said that, to announce it right out of the gate will only depend on the content of the game, if its so massive as they claim and are confident enought they will announce it, (maybe the first one or two waves will be free) as for The two ex employees, they don't seem to have any insider knowledge so, who cares what they say?
I been playing Nintendo products for well over 4 decades now, and I can say with confidence that some of their resent strategic moves we never saw under Yamauchi's or Iwata's administration, the thing at its core is: they now consider themselves to be a premium brand, much like apple does and maybe they are but while having a phone may be considered a necessity in this days, it's different with a videogame console. Console price: ok Game key price: not ok Game prices: not ok Game peripherals prices: not ok Shady practices: will never be ok
It's a shame really, these guys used to be a consumer friendly brand.
I love Nintendo, I really do, for a long time i just had Nintendo hardware at home because it suited all my gamer needs, but I have to put my foot down for this, if they insist in rising their prices like this (with no reason other than greed), they will never see a penny from me again, I will buy their games and consoles on the used market
Obviously i haven't play the console myself, but after all the dust from yesterday's presentation as settled, i kinda feel the same, not disappointed but not as excited, it's as if they told you for so long that it's all about the game experience, artstyle above cutting-edge graphics, having fun above all else etc and now they just gave you a more powerful machine.
