Re: 2K Confirms Civilization VI On Nintendo Switch Will Not Include Online Multiplayer

Gerbwmu

I love Civ games and have never played an online match with any of them. Still this is a confusing decision given the ability to add cross play if the concern is Switch opponents won't be plentiful.

I still plan on getting this though as no online doesn't matter to me. I will wait to make sure it actually works before I purchase it though because it is 2K and they are not know for quality.....or even fixing broken games

Re: Video: The Nintendo 64 Classic Mini "Leak" is Completely Fake

Gerbwmu

I have a SNES Mini, I'd consider the NES but there aren't enough of the right games on it that I want. The N64 Mini would be worse. The games are tough to look at these days and they can't get what I consider to be the best games for it so as much as I loved my 64 I can't see a scenario where I would buy it. Now if they managed a Perfect Dark, Turok II, any of the THQ wrestling games, Golden Eye, Worms, Ogre Battle along with the 1st party titles I'd throw my money at it, but we all know those are mostly impossible

Re: Gear.Club Unlimited 2 Speeds Onto Switch 4th December, New Screenshots And Car Roster Revealed

@Cobalt — There is something to Ristar's comment........when one son has something going on inside I let the other take the Switch but I'm less likely to let them take it to an outdoor sporting event and instead have them take the 3DS. My older son also has a long bus ride to school and I let him take the 3DS but not the Switch.

Myself, I play it 90% docked........I never did like handheld gaming

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 29th)

Gerbwmu

Big gaming weekend coming up. Wife is in Europe for a week and my boys are setting up some sort of game in Minecraft that they will destroy me at. Also digging into Banner Saga which took me the 1st half of the 1st game to get comfortable with but now that I'm rolling, is amazing. The boys will have other gaming plans in place for me on this cold and rainy day I'm sure as well! Enjoy the weekend my friends!

Re: ESRB Ratings Reveal That Ubisoft Is Bringing Three Party Games To Nintendo Switch

Gerbwmu

More options isn't a bad thing even if they are not the games we may want. WoF/Jeopardy & Hasbro Family games are fun games anyone can play and I'm sure my sons wiuld like to have both. Will I buy them.....probably not but it doesn't mean they don't add some value to the library. The sports one is, on the other hand, not a very good game so unless they improve it dramatically then I can't imagine it being anything more then $5 bargin bin fodder

Re: Producer Of Soul Calibur VI Open To Game On Switch If It's Actually Possible

Gerbwmu

@rjejr — There are quite a few GameCube games I'd love to see remade, remastered, HD versions of.......unfortunately most of them would never happen.......especially MVP 04.......still the best realistic baseball game to me.

Time Splitters 2 is seeming like a possability now thought so who knows.......I'd buy that one right away.

If Fire Emblem Three Houses does well enough we may see Path of Radiance get a remake like Echos for 3DS.

Re: Super Mario Party On Switch Won't Include Pro Controller Support

Gerbwmu

@BadWaluigi2 - I believe the pro controller is missing some of the IR Camera functionality......whether or not that matters to this game I don't know.

Edit: there is also the chance some of the games work off of the 2 single joycons working off one another.......I obviously don't know that, but there are legitimate reasons why just joycons is justified.....whether or not they are for SMP will depend on the game and the mini games it contains.

More options are always better though so Nintendo would have been better off allowing pro controller functionality even if it limited the mini games one could play

Re: Super Mario Party On Switch Won't Include Pro Controller Support

Gerbwmu

@Razer - so is it your belief that Nintendo should never have made an optional pro controller, or if they did, make it of lower quality with less tech inside so they can charge $19.99 like the wired off brands? Or should it have been loaded with the same tech as the joy cons and charged more for?

I bought my pro controller on sale for $45. It's a great controller that I prefer to use for most games. My sons prefer the Joycons and use them most of the time.

It is my opinion that Nintendo makes quality products and I myself haven't had to replace a controller since my original N64 analog stick broke so I do not feel the pro is overpriced.

I do however feel a BMW is overpriced vs other cars so I understand my opinion of price/quality/usefulness is mine alone and it's silly of me to tell you the pro isn't over priced.

Re: Review: Morphies Law (Switch eShop)

Gerbwmu

I really wish one of these shooter games (Splatoon, Fortnite, Paladins, Morphies) would support at least 2 player split screen........I don't mind waiting turns but I'd like some games that I can play together with people. If this had 2 or 4 player split screen I'd buy it now......as it sits I will wait and consider it sometime in the future.

This game looks silly fun and the creativity in design makes me want to play it. Maybe a patch or some added content will twist my arm into a purchase. 2 player split screen would have gotten $30 out of me easily.

Re: Rumour: New Nintendo Direct Airing Later Today

Gerbwmu

"They sells like butter in the sun" is my new favorite saying!

If it is an Nindies Direct, awesome because Indies are games, I like games, and I get to learn more about new ones.

If it is a "normal" direct then awesome because games are games, I like games, and I get to learn more about new ones.........

Wait I just said that

Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of The Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct?

Gerbwmu

I'm not a Smash fan and still thought it was excellent. Makes me wonder what would have had to happen to make the 6% happy?

Bet we get a general direct 2nd week of September to layout the online details and announce anything coming by end of year.

I'm also wondering if the Dark Souls delay is just them trying to change to the trilogy or if it is more sinister
