@BinaryFragger Welcome to Cynictendo life Where the cynics and nintendoomers come to tell us that the switch will die in a months time,.....SINCE MARCH!
Nintendo is still top dog even in April, May may see a decline, it may not, as both Zelda and Mario kart plus minecraft switch are very strong price indicators.
In April Nintendo stole 1st and 2nd with the nes mini,
@bilboa plus the API and OS are clearly getting patched right now, supporting the fact that unless you are using unreal engine 4 now, your game will have difficulties reaching the performance of the switch.
This is a time/development issue not a power issue as the switch is scalable between portable mode and tv mode.
@Kokusho basically its an bug that needs ironing out in the next update of the Api NVN The firmware is definitely theoretical in parts, maybe an indication of just how early in development the switch API and os truly are.
@SCAssassin smaller dev teams and its clearly a rushed port
Unless its made with plenty of time or just made in a huge firm, expect this to happen till 3rd party stops playing coy with the Nintendo switch and really commit.
@XYBUTTONS Apparently others Don't care, as For me, its Not an issue if destiny 2 skips the Nintendo switch, the one that does matter is Call of Duty ww2, Destiny 2 came off the heels of a bare bones game (for a mmo, thats caustic)
Plus you must understand that nintendo's audience care not much of bungie,
You severly underestimate the value of your own diatribe however its nice to know that if this becomes a reoccurring trend it will affect the switch in some form but the switch lives and dies on nintendo's support alone and never forget that.
@somerandomgamer0 ythe reality is that they will port destiny over when Activision buys bungie completely when Destiny 2 fails to sell the inflated sales numbers
I read the article, the bollore group owns vivendi, a news corp wannabe, and havas a advertiser. VIVENDI owns canal+ a cable company like Foxtel, they also own 2 telcos Orange and one other, they almost got italiatel but the regulators stepped in, Vivendi manage Daily motion, a youtube alternative, Universal music and 67% of Gameloft, a mobile developer... Ubisoft is only the next victim in a long list of defunct games developers and publishers. Sierra was killed after a merger with Activision Blizzard (only Activision, Blizzard and universal got under vivendis thumb.
Vivendi was loading up Activision Blizzard with debt to shift the debts off their ballance sheet, they have shown to be toxic to the games industry.
@Sakura however we apparently only buy Nintendo games no third party and apparently indies according to people are lesser than AAS third party publishers....
Nintendo switch is 2 million and selling amazingly well as well as Nintendo direct tomorrow.
@Ralizah its an evolutionary stage, don't think that hd rumble or haptic feedback are perfected on the first go, it takes time and while the switch is sought after we have not begun the refinment phase,
Im sure Nintendo have a plan up their sleeve to up the production process... right now its supply constrained...
@impurekind I agree that 36 or 38 games at launch is absurd but given that we have come off the Wii U, I find the launch to be satisfactory if anything for now, you may dislike it's depth but when competing against Zelda 3rd party can kiss goodbye a chunk of estimated sales. This is why AAA games don't mess with COD, Pokemon or Battlefield, as these guarantee certain failure for other 3rd party.
@impurekind Nintendo need to support the switch year round rather than top heavy either the holiday season or at launch. Just being realistic especially when skepticism and Caution is still being executed.
@impurekind quit thinking that AAA exclusives were coming to the Nintendo switch after the disaster of the Wii u, plus 38 games at launch is excessive especially when "no-one gave a **** anyway" why do you think that it won't happen again? People are not walking ATMs, even I a big spender has admitted that I can only get so much... in a single month. Plus the curse of having strong IP at launch is that 3rd party have no hope competing against Nintendo especially if the ace is Zelda.
@impurekind can you quit port begging it's common knowledge that no Nintendo fans by AAA exclusives... this is another issue especially when I care more about the AA publishers more.
@impurekind your idea of playing the long game is asking too much, and you ignored my comments on this matter, 36 games on the Wii u, no one bought them to even matter, each game is 60 and that limits Switch attachment rate, you ignored my comments about not blowing the load plus you fail to understand the switch price point, they have room to move but as it stands this is optimal profit per Switch. You may think your opinion matters more than mine but I'm being real here, Wii u had one of the largest launch in Nintendo history but with no outstanding titles it was over.
@impurekind you still need games for day 2, 3, 4 plus Zelda is so big normal AAA won't see a single sale. I don't want a big launch either, 36 titles on Wii u but nothing legendary as Zelda.
@FargusPelagius people seem to not understand just how much damage the Wii u did, regardless of recovery but the switch will sell very well and restore confidence in the brand..

Re: Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night Is Only 20 To 30 Percent Complete
@Eddyson i hear the demo is satisfactory whats an issue is that release is in 2018 but games less than 50% done,
However FfVIIR was only polishing the parts in the gameplay trailer last time we got a update.
Re: Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night Is Only 20 To 30 Percent Complete
@Blister UNDOUBTEDLY, the procedure gets simplier but the amount of work to polish a game never decreases.
Re: Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night Is Only 20 To 30 Percent Complete
@BinaryFragger Welcome to a Dying industry that prioritizes more pixels than a modern 4k set has.
Re: Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night Is Only 20 To 30 Percent Complete
@MarcelRguez kickstarter has not failed us the gamers yet,
Personally i prefer tbis over Steam early access and Greenlight
Re: Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night Is Only 20 To 30 Percent Complete
@MarcelRguez meanwhile destiny 2 tries to overhype its game that fails to hit 60fps (Splatoon did that @720p) on wii u,
Plus worringly was the admission that Dedicated server access was "not in the budget"

Meanwhile xbone hit new low with 4th place.
Re: Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night Is Only 20 To 30 Percent Complete
@MarcelRguez tiny Metal is a kickstarter as well, plus yooka laylee was not an overall failure.
Re: RiME On Switch Will Run At 720p In Both Docked And Portable Modes

This is a time/development issue not a power issue as the switch is scalable between portable mode and tv mode.
Re: RiME On Switch Will Run At 720p In Both Docked And Portable Modes
@bilboa its both, this game was Announced then delayed and dont forget the target render back when rime was Playstation exclusive

Re: RiME On Switch Will Run At 720p In Both Docked And Portable Modes
@ThatNyteDaez Tantalus is a port house as is beenox
Tantalus however is busy deluxing the next wii u game
schwing sching
Re: RiME On Switch Will Run At 720p In Both Docked And Portable Modes
This will in no way affect my enjoyment of rime im not a graphics but im a Nintendo fangirl and play great games and indies...
Bring on rime, performance is king in my book.

Re: "No Plans" For Destiny 2 On Switch, Says Project Lead Who Loves Nintendo's Console
@Henmii many developers would begin to differ,
Bandai namco
Square enix
Electronic arts
Sega
Activision
Capcom
And the nindies
Re: "No Plans" For Destiny 2 On Switch, Says Project Lead Who Loves Nintendo's Console
@able_to_think tell that to @XYBUTTONS
who thinks that the switch will suffer if Destiny 2 is not ported to the Switch
Re: "No Plans" For Destiny 2 On Switch, Says Project Lead Who Loves Nintendo's Console
@retribution nothing wrong with that but post switch i want to stream the games now.
Re: "No Plans" For Destiny 2 On Switch, Says Project Lead Who Loves Nintendo's Console
@somerandomgamer0 ythe reality is that they will port destiny over when Activision buys bungie completely when Destiny 2 fails to sell the inflated sales numbers
That's the "reality"
Re: "No Plans" For Destiny 2 On Switch, Says Project Lead Who Loves Nintendo's Console
@Jeronan I'm sorry, power is switch > wii u > ps3
Switch is 3 times more powerful than the wii u and wii u is 1.5 times the ps3.
Re: "No Plans" For Destiny 2 On Switch, Says Project Lead Who Loves Nintendo's Console
@brutalpanda then gamers will cry over connection issues with Dragon Quest ten which is online only.
Re: "No Plans" For Destiny 2 On Switch, Says Project Lead Who Loves Nintendo's Console
@Mo_Zing now that's a "open door" comment
Re: "No Plans" For Destiny 2 On Switch, Says Project Lead Who Loves Nintendo's Console
@XYBUTTONS you forget one thing, the first destiny sucked worse than halo 5 guardians.
I'm not buying this on any platforms.
Unless its on switch
Re: "No Plans" For Destiny 2 On Switch, Says Project Lead Who Loves Nintendo's Console
@Hikingguy what he said was no destiny 2 this year or 2018...
I bet bungie will break after Activision announces destiny 2 on switch in 2018.
Re: "No Plans" For Destiny 2 On Switch, Says Project Lead Who Loves Nintendo's Console
@CrazedCavalier to be honest, I'd only buy it on the switch
Aint buying it on any other platform, including battlefront
I'll buy codww2 on switch to spite each.

Re: Overwatch Director "Loving" Nintendo Switch But Admits Porting Game Would Be A Challenge
@Bliquid https://www.geek.com/tech/overwatch-has-been-cloned-and-ported-to-mobile-in-china-1658148/
Thats right, Chinese devs got overwatch working on Android phones
Plus "Underpowered " actually means lazy and unoptimized coding.
And to further prove the overwatch dev is ignorant
This is a prototype of overwatch as a tech demo

Re: Nintendo Switch Is Selling Faster In Japan Than The PS4 Did, But Not As Quick As The Wii U
@Danpal65 this was the plan, no doubt Nintendo is getting ready to sell the Nintendo Switch hard
Re: Nintendo Switch Hardware Sales Grow in Japan as Monster Hunter Stays at Number One
@Danrenfroe2016 they are. But demand is through the roof
Re: Nintendo Switch Hardware Sales Grow in Japan as Monster Hunter Stays at Number One
@BionicDodo the Japanese are graphics whores but i guess they aren't 4.6 tflops much.

Re: Don't Worry, The Rumble in Snake Pass Will Be Fixed Soon
Does it bother people that the game is not 720p native? Its SD not HD
Personally im fine with it as long as its above 240p on the 3ds.

@impurekind Nintendo need to support the switch year round rather than top heavy either the holiday season or at launch. Just being realistic especially when skepticism and Caution is still being executed.
Re: Tatsumi Kimishima Responds to Criticism Over the Switch Launch Line-Up
@impurekind quit thinking that AAA exclusives were coming to the Nintendo switch after the disaster of the Wii u, plus 38 games at launch is excessive especially when "no-one gave a **** anyway" why do you think that it won't happen again?

@impurekind can you quit port begging it's common knowledge that no Nintendo fans by AAA exclusives... this is another issue especially when I care more about the AA publishers more.

Re: Tatsumi Kimishima Responds to Criticism Over the Switch Launch Line-Up
@redd214 to me I'm abit of a bomberman fanatic but Bomberman needs to start somewhere... we don't want act zero and 64 era Bomberman was his prime.
Re: Tatsumi Kimishima Responds to Criticism Over the Switch Launch Line-Up
@Billsama then why do we constantly hear about AAA port begging? Especially when they don't sell in the first place?
I always wanted to know why people give a damn about EA, Activision...
Edit: goddammit auto correct!
Re: Tatsumi Kimishima Responds to Criticism Over the Switch Launch Line-Up
@nobboysbro I'm already broke by Zelda Alone. Plus skylanders, Zelda, Bomberman, Issac, I am setsuna that's breaking my purse.
Re: Tatsumi Kimishima Responds to Criticism Over the Switch Launch Line-Up
@impurekind you still need games for day 2, 3, 4 plus Zelda is so big normal AAA won't see a single sale. I don't want a big launch either, 36 titles on Wii u but nothing legendary as Zelda.
Re: Tatsumi Kimishima Responds to Criticism Over the Switch Launch Line-Up
@redd214 how about bomberman? Poor guy got killed after living in a survival game in a gimp suit. So not himself, love the bomberman love!
