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

Faucet

The only games that are on the system that I didn't or couldn't play somewhere else (and mind you in better condition) are...Mario Kart world and D.K. Backwards compatibility is nice but two games do not make a library. Pretty disappointed and also I'm just fine with it. Gives me time to go through my back catalog!

Re: Switch 2 Launch Helps Boost US Video Game Spending To Record June High

I bought a Switch 2 because I worried tariffs would drive the price up. I bought a Switch 2 because I've been waiting for a proper new Mario Kart since 2014. I bought a Switch 2 because I've been waiting for years for an upgraded system. And I bought Cyberpunk 2077 because I own the whole game on cartridge for ever regardless of the end of the world...which is coming soon I have a moron for a president.

Re: Beat 'Em Up Classic Double Dragon Gets A Modern Revival On Switch This October

This looks absolutely terrible. It might feel like the best beat'em up in the world in terms of control and crunch. But if it looks cheap I don't know how long I'd stick around for the ride. Hope the looks get a over haul.
Edit; gonna have to say, the new trailer and art style have grown on me. I will also say I own every DD and this will be no different.

Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Switch 2 Demo Spotted In The Wild

Faucet

I used to love to ride my bike 3 miles down the road to play Contra at the local K-mart. But now I'm a grumpy old man who likes to download demos from electric stores and eat his air fried French fries. How am I supposed to eat air fried potatoes at an unnamed kiosk at an unknown area... just makes me grumpy.

Re: Gallery: Here's Another Look At Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition For Switch

Love the original though it has its problems. The fight music isn't bad but when you hear it 50 times it begins to wear. Sound balance was terrible drowning out dialogue frequently. I also enjoy the surround sound. Didn't have the surround sound. Unfortunately I can see they didn't fix the apparent clipping problems. I can see you,"ghosting" through some creatures feet. Though I did read in another article that they fixed that problem in New L.A. Also, I can see they didn't bother fixing the grass. Still flat texture that simply moves with the camera. That's pretty lame. Love to hear what improvements they've made.

Re: Random: Some Rare Fans Are Upset About The Latest Switch Online Announcement

@Dringo generally speaking publicly traded company's cannot force a shareholder to sell. The shareholder owns a piece of that company in Nintendo's case 49% of Rare. They still,"sold","their"owned portion of the company. In 2001 Rare represented 2% of Nintendo's revenue and in 2002 they represented 1%. Not sure what you are arguing. Or even trying to say.
