@JaxonH I agree. Over the past year or so, Xenoblade has become one of my all-time favourite series. I'm debating on whether or not it is my actual all-time favourite series.
Themed SD Cards? For something that you're barely going to look at, it's a bit of a waste of money to pay the extra cost that it will undoubtedly incur.
I guess you could say I wasn't around then, or at least not in the gaming world, so I didn't know anything about them. But I suppose I can sum up Warren's response in one word: Epic.
@ThomasBW84 I know, it's just funny how two people representing the same organisation would give two such different opinions on the same game. For people who only watch the YouTube channel, they will only hear one side.
I've just had a look at the reviews. Nope. Nope. Nope. Not getting that. Also, why is it much more expensive on Steam? Usually games are pretty well priced there.
Well, if they do succeed, they at the very least will have made a point- if you put the effort in, the Switch can run current gen games. Not all of them, but a significant number.
To be brutally honest, I'm not excited for Super Mario Odyssey. Not because i think it's a bad game, but because I'm not into platformers. runs away and hides in a hole
Aha. The curse of Spectacle. As a series progresses, it may rely Spectacle to outdo the previous entries in the series. This can lead to larger and larger scope being used, until it can go no further. Hence a soft reboot.
@Alto Maybe we could make a fan made rip-off of Smash, but only using people from Nintendo Life, so that Nintendo doesn't take it down. Then we can get hired by Nintendo, and put them into the game.
Still want @Alex_Olney for Smash. His final smash could be "Do something to that subscribe button", and his smash attack could be "Hello there, lovely people". Then the other attacks could be made up from knocking the camera, summoning his girlfriend (whose name I can't remember. Sorry) and Arrekz Gaming, and pouring good gravy biscuits on his enemy.
@Maxz See. Here we are again. People prioritising cola over toast. How many more people would buy a Switch if you could actually put more than one slice of toast to toast in the dock? Yes, the fact that it supports one slice is already impressive, but if they cut the resolution in half, they could offer support for two slices, which no other console can do. This would mean that Nintendo is competing with PC in a way that consoles never do! Even a PC with a GTX 1080 Ti can't manage more than 5 slices of bread, and even then it only has support for toasting bread rather than toast. And yet all you want is cola. You're obviously not a real gamer.
This is basically a (semi) open world game running at 60fps. Say what you want about the visuals, but it's not often that you get games with large spaces like this running at 60fps on consoles.
@Indielink Well, I guess we'll have to see. I'd personally rather have the previous version of Skyrim with as many bells and whistles as possible at 1080p, but we'll find out in a few months.

What's a Wii U?
Re: UK Retail Hails The Positive Impact Of Nintendo Switch
@TrubbishForMayor I agree. The second hand DS games section in my GAME is almost as big as the Switch section... Which is not that big.

To be honest, I think the host was pretty good at making the best of a bad situation. And in this day and age, Frank could have become a meme.

Re: EA Talks Up the Positives of FIFA 18 on Switch Not Using the Frostbite Engine
I'm still not going to buy it. It could run on Frostbite for all I care; nothing can save it from being a sports game.

Good, but I don't think people were expecting anything else.
Re: Pelda Pro Switch Case Aims To Make Your Dock Redundant

Re: Video: Digital Foundry Compares Monster Hunter XX on Switch and 3DS
It's quite interesting. Instead of going for a rich graphical upgrade, instead, they went for the sharpest, cleanest image they could.
Although personally I would much rather have 60fps.
Re: Soapbox: Seriously Nintendo, It's Time For A Switch Joy-Con With A Proper D-Pad
I don't see why they wouldn't be able to do it. I would be surprised if they didn't make a pair of JoyCon with a D-Pad sometime soon.

@Mahe I'm assuming that's either bait or just an opinion that you're trying to force on me

I would like to get this game, but for what it is, the price is too high (considering you can get BotW on eBay for just a little more money)
