@NEStalgia It was PlayStation i saw and PC surprisingly. It was on some video about casual games, but the point is, someone said that the Switch, the ENTIRE console, was for casuals only, and I quote, "cutesy Zelda stuff", showing they've haven't even seen anything or played it at all past the fricking art style. But yeah, it's mostly PlayStation.
@scully1888 yeah, that kind of ticks me off. I can't even mention Nintendo among the "hardcore" crowd without being scoffed at. I never really got into the Wii, as I was still a kid, so I only had Mario Kart and some Lego games, but I do have fond memories. It got a bad rep, some of it Nintendo's fault, some of it not.
@Ventilator "Probably 100's of new exclusives including third parties" what the heck? The only third party exclusives from the Wii I can think of is No More Heroes and some wii-ware. I know there are more I can't think of but definitely not 100s. Or are you talking about the 10-minute developed shovel ware slapped on to the Wii for $30? Because if you are counting that, then the switch has exclusives going up to the 4 digits, from all the eShop crap you can't find on any other console.
And "motion controls on everything" is not an immediate signifier of an advantage, it never was. By that logic, the kinect was the best thing since sliced bread. Not everything needs motion controls, smash or fire emblem didn't need it. If it's tacked on as an afterthought, then it will being down an otherwise good game.
And even then, you're contradicting yourself. You clearly think that lots of third party games matter, when the Wii Us third party library was almost non-existent. And what it did get was inferior to other consoles. If you didn't like that many Nintendo games and say, you just wanted the new Zelda game and liked the gamepad. Well, you were kind of out of luck, it's better than nothing, but it's still a waste of money if you wanted it for only that. And your saying that the Wii U used the features better is a lie. Barely any ports on the Wii U used the gamepad usefully, some not at all. Again, it's not Nintendo's fault they didn't use the features, but if it's heavily marketed for the feature(Nintendo did not, the touch screen and motion controls were mostly casually mentioned, the main focus was the ability to, you know, switch), it's understandable if people would get upset.
I am NOT SAYING the switch is all good. It is definitely not the best Nintendo console, I think that award goes to the SNES. The online is garbage, no virtual console, not too many quality of life improvements, par the USB-C port, and yes, some games are inferior to other games. But you're judging a console NINTENDO THEMSELVES said is only halfway through its life based off of exclusives, giving passes to the Wii U and criticizing the switch for the same things the Wii U did. You and many other people can definetely prefer the Wii U to the switch, but you are acting like this is objective fact, it is not.
@TheFox yeah, no more heroes handled it very well. I see it in YouTube comments a lot, Nintendo "forfeited the console wars, too bad, because the GameCube was great." "Anything Nintendo is for casuals, cutesy Zelda stuff, that's not what real games are."
People have actually said stuff like that, and they're dead serious. Nintendo didn't evict there non-casual gamers license just by marketing their Wii towards casuals, if anyone says that, they've clearly never even tried half of the games they offer. Motion controls aren't necessarily bad I don't think, I think Gyro aiming is a serious quality of life improvement, for instance. They just need to give options: turn off or on motion controls, simple as that. Paper Mario did that, which I thought was great.
@TheFox strange, I've heard the opposite. A lot of people loathe motion controls, and I mean a lot of people. I personally don't care, but some people turn off the Wii and early switch games for that reason. I think touchscreen should be supported at least, I don't see why they can't.
I don't own a Wii U, so I'm happy about this, I guess? Literally the one game I wanted to be ported has not been and probably won't be. Xenoblade Chronicles X, sigh.
@Bubboi I think he/she means on your literal flank, putting the mouse next to your hip so you don't stretch your arm like you usually do. Sorry to hear about that though, hope you get better.
@The_Pixel_King It depends on how much you want to play it I think. If you only play it at parties or something, I don't think It really is needed, unless you really like the characters. But if you're going to play even semi-seriously, like you're in a group or something or just like to play online, I think you should buy it. Even then, purchasing the fighters pass will only shave off a few dollars anyways, if you want to then you could just sprinkle $5 for each character across the year or something. Piranha plant is sold separately from the fighters pass anyways.
@The_Pixel_King Not at the moment no. The two fighters pass and piranha plant together all cost around $60, if that helps. It's up to you if it's worth that price.
I REALLY don't like the cat suits on them. Triggers some major uncanny valley for some reason. Just the thought of Mario and co. Darting around on all fours wearing a cat suit is just...ugh.
@JR150 what I was trying to say is there are much better multiplayer games out there, even ones for free. Sorry, sometimes I can't seem to form thoughts. This is also my opinion of course, there's most likely someone out there who thinks ninjala is the best thing since sliced bread.
@DJ_Cheemstar Sora hasn't been directly deconfirmed, he just wasn't coming at the time. He's still in the paws of Disney though. There's still a chance, maybe Sakurai can work his magic for the next game.
Also, the, erm, "chest" of shantae compared to Mai is well, how should I put it, "watered down". They could make it work. I'm still screaming for the Knight (from Hollow Knight) and Dante/Capcom rep besides street Fighter over here.
Edit: let me be a bit more clear, Sora wasn't deconfirmed for the entirety of Ultimate's lifespan, it's just heavily implied. Just because Disney said no at the time, doesnt mean it will never happen
I just saw Mario Kart, in depth look, and Nintendo and sped over here as fast as humanly possible. Or, well, as fast as a horseshoe crab can go.That 9, such a fickle number.
@bluemujika Ah yes that was the person. I loved the comics when I was younger, but for the life of me I forgot the dude's name. Google was no help, so I said someone in the hope of getting it right. There is a surprising amount of elephant characters.
Holy crap, my little brother loves this show. I wish I didn't tell him about this game, he's gonna waste his time and money. No matter what I tell him, he's gonna shoot it off as just an internet thing. And there goes the money.
He once argued with me about something in a game, so I looked up the wiki for the game. He then decide my entire statement was false because it had wiki in the name. And we all know Wikipedia can't be trusted.
Edit:"It’s like attending the glitziest birthday bash of the century and using the din of the party to surreptitiously relieve yourself behind the punch bowl. Awful."
Poor Sakurai. But people seriously need to take a massive chill pill. It's DLC, just don't buy it instead of going to Twitter or whatever and making a fuss. nobody's holding you at gunpoint telling you to buy and main him. Use your money how you want, it's not the end of the world a dlc slot is "wasted".
This is actually pretty awesome, thumbs up. Although most people who wanted one in Brazil already had one probably. That's also a sneaky way of Nintendo saying they had the best launch in history.
The switch pro has been my favorite controller, so I'm not complaining. I don't like the D-pad, for both this and the series x controller, it doesn't look right to me.
@thesilverbrick A while ago, I'm gonna say May? April? A bunch of listings appeared for a Metroid prime trilogy port for the switch, people assumed as a holdover until Metroid prime 4. Nothing ever came of it though.
I'm confident now this game will at the very least be decent. Now, I'd prefer to play this "decent" game this decade please. But no rush, I still applaud the Metroid devs for restarting and giving it to Retro instead of releasing a half-baked game, that's not something every game studio would do.
