@dew12333 lol retrospective patents filed many years after the fact. pull the other one. "Gliding on animals" ffs. Go jump in a lake on this one Nintendo.

Too bad the Nintendo Switch version is censored.
The steam version is not.

if the sales go over 10 million they gonna sue!

@jump can't easily return games tho right for obvious reasons...?

They could have technically done all this on the Switch OG but held it back to try to sell the next console.
The WII games running emulated on the Chinese Nvidia Shield prove that...

Steam Deck fans are not underestimating how much more games are going to cost on the Nintendo Switch!

@Stwert
economy of scale
a proportionate saving in costs gained by an increased level of production.

pricing has nothing to do with economies of scale and economies of scale does not apply to software development.

@Stwert you're not really getting it. as software development gets bigger and more complex it achieves diseconomies
https://no-kill-switch.ghost.io/*****-hunting-economies-of-scale-in-building-software/

@Stwert The software development business is not about economies of scale. Manufacturing is. In fact, software development is subject to diseconomies of scale - there are many articles and papers written about about it. What is happening here is a pricing decision. not economies of scale.

Fast RMX looked great and ran great but..... wasn't actually all that much fun to play.....

Gravity Circuit
Filmechanism
Iron Crytpicle

As if Pokemon didn't copy Dragon Quest characters back in the day. Everyone knows that Palworld's biggest "crime" is that millions of people liked it and bought it.

in fairness, Devolver Digital are known for a certain mark of quality so may be worth a look.

will not be coming out before Switch 2 at this stage - hoping for some Switch 2 sales.

@Smithicus it's not a metroidvania at all. A side-scrolling Hotline Miami is the most accurate description really.

@JohnnyMind first one was also bland. plenty of far better metroidvanias on Switch.

And Nintendo will "experience" that Mario Kart World won't sell even half what Mario Kart 8 Deluxe did on OG Switch.....

A brilliant game.

Nintendo really are gougers. I can definitely see the "upgrade pack" for Switch 1 games on Switch 2 being a much higher price than most people expect also when a lot of of it will just be upscaling and increased cpu + gpu that comes with the console.

Well it was a hit because the vast majority (like 85 to 90%) of the 9 million sales came from outside Japan so whatever they said most of the money came from overseas.

The third movie will actually be a remaster of the first one in keeping with Nintendo's normal release strategy.

password level select in 2025.... pass

This title surely has one if not the greatest redemption arcs in game development history. (along with Cyberpunk 2077)

why can't the first one make it to Switch then.....?

For the price / value ratio, nothing touches it really tbh.

The original game was good fun and made a splash at the time. But the follow up was a disaster.

Iron Crytpicle is very replayable.

New handheld supposedly coming out
-> "Nah, I barely even use my Switch out of the dock. Handheld market is actually tiny."

New dedicated home tv console is coming out
-> "I can't remember the last time I played a game on my TV"

🤣

@ButterySmooth30FPS MGS2 and MGS3 in this collection are based on the 2012 HD remasters, not the original games.

A big pity tho that even marquee first-party games like BoTW suffered 20 fps segments at times.

you could buy an actual ok gba emulator device for $25

Suda 51 games have been amongst the worst executed ports done for Switch that's for sure.

fomo expired.

Quite the "demaster" in this case it seems.

those issues sound pretty solvable tbh. good achievement to have it presentable on the old Switch.

@Coxula special editions give credits ("Karma Embers") to buy more powerful characters to skip the long grind to get them

Nintendo to file a retrospective patent on tarriffing video games and associated hardware?

@Coversnail oftentimes trying to polish a turd just ends up getting messy!

@Kyloctopus yes that's the playbook. create initial scarcity to build FOMO for something trivial.

Created scarcity is a thing, especially for over-priced products.

Nintendo saving the world yet again just like when "assisting" police getting that guy arrested in Japan for selling saves to an old 3DS game

https://www.ign.com/articles/nintendo-assists-japanese-police-investigation-into-man-allegedly-selling-hacked-pokmon-saves-on-3ds

handling of later game is the true test - I hope that the review covers that.

Jeff Minter... boosting epileptic medication sales since the 1980's!

@HeldHero Good remaster of a not so great game I would say...

@VHSGREMLIN on Switch or another platform?

Like a lot of fps's on switch, even the better ports, higher difficulties are not really on the table due to framerate and control limitations (especially concerning joycons in handheld).

Nintendo make the money on the games and the updated Tegra chip is not an expensive part so no compelling reason that it needs to be much more expensive than Switch OG.
But ...... $70 Game Price is INCOMING

Nintendo covering themselves in glory yet again....

Gamesir G8+....

Works for joycon replacement (with easily changable x and b buttons), on pc, on ps 4/5, will hold android phones and tablets, same for apple....

Unbeatable proposition for the compatibility range

@sonicbooming looks decent enough https://youtu.be/80IT_00e-20?t=225 but why not try the demo for free?
