i'd rather try and keep everything at 1080/60 in both docked and handheld than anything 4k. obligatory OLED screen as nintendo titles will look great on one.
@Cyrax77 the DCKR series never felt right for me due to how the platforming is excessively choregraphed. brilliantly designed? sure, but without the sense of weight and responsiveness i got from the SNES titles. Impossible Lair is closer to the originals due to how much more freedom you have with the controls
DCKR & Tropical Freeze didn't feel like the original DKC games if you ask me. the handling was very different and obviously the art style is somewhat bright & generic in contrast to Rare's classics. the real question is whether this captures the 'feel' of those earlier DKC titles in its controls which felt less smooth in the newer titles, finely tuned as the game design was.
transformed was great but i never enjoyed the flying or boat sections very much. particularly the flying sections. looking forward to checking this one out!
thank god Kotaku were on the case to flag up this unwanted boobery & objectification. both they and I respect women far too much for this sort of immature content.
sounds like this game is very problematic, it's 2018 right now. cheap sleaze certainly isn't my thing as i respect women far too much. sounds like you guys need to get on the reviewers level, lol.
main question for me is whether Kamiya is directing or not. B2 was great but not the masterpiece that was the original. also not expecting a 2018 release but that's OK.
YES!!!! and real Ridge Racer please not that unbounded nonsense. rumours were flying about a HD remake of one of the earlier titles, so perhaps 'RR8' is part remake or the remake project morphed into a brand new entry. either way exciting!
seems they are taking the mickey by still including the download code for a special edition. the whole point of a special edition is the physical aspect. they can just increase the price for the second cart, if they have to. love a good steelbook but i won't be supporting this.
@Zyph in reality i think it's to do with Nintendo's child friendly stance (at the cost of the 'core' console user base) and the worry they have about children communicating with pedophiles or people saying inappropriate things to them.
something that in theory should be remedied with parental controls, which they already have, but clearly there is some kind of deeper paranoia there. either way it's a very backward approach to something that's been standard since the xbox 360.
can't believe people are trying to make a technical argument for lack of voice chat, talk about apologist. the amount of overhead in the OS would be absolutely minimal. it will take more resources in order to stream the audio from this external device than it would to have it on there in the first place. 'elegant' solution indeed.
another device just to do something the switch could easily support by itself is an outrageous & cumbersome solution. nintendo should be ashamed of pitching this to their audience in 2017, voice chat has been a standard feature in consoles for over a decade.

Re: Move Aside Mario, A New F-Zero Twitter Account Has Been Discovered
@RiasGremory that would be great too. but i personally like the cartoon-rock style look of the art in X. i would love to see that fully realized!
Re: Move Aside Mario, A New F-Zero Twitter Account Has Been Discovered
i would like a new F-Zero. updated cel-shaded version of X with online would be great.
Re: New Video Shows Thwomp In Action At Super Nintendo World

Re: New Video Shows Yoshi In Action At Super Nintendo World
wouldn't mind a game that looks like that first screenshot!
Re: Blimey, Donkey Kong Country 2 Looks Lovely In HD
@Petriebird agree, Impossible Lair is closer to the original controls though. never liked Returns/Tropical Freeze for that reason.
Re: Blimey, Donkey Kong Country 2 Looks Lovely In HD
better art style than Returns or Tropical Freeze. the originals are just classics.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Is Bringing Some Of Mario's Most Obscure Adventures To Switch Online

Re: Buy Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD And Sega Might Remake The Original Games
why didn't they remake SMB1 or 2 in the first place? the more popular, favoured games with the fanbase. beats me.
Re: Rumour: Ridge Racer 8 Might Not Be Drifting Onto The Nintendo Switch After All
@KitsuneNight Unbounded wasn't proper Ridge Racer. the last Ridge Racer on the console side was RR7.
Re: Rumour: Ridge Racer 8 Might Not Be Drifting Onto The Nintendo Switch After All
terrible news, been a long time since a proper console RR

Re: Yooka-Laylee Dev Playtonic Is Open To Making A Mario Kart-Like Racer Or Splatoon-Like Shooter

Re: Video: Playtonic On Why Yooka-Laylee And The Impossible Lair Is Worth Your Time And Money
looks like a great environment, great team and the game is awesome glad i bought it
don't want to upset people but i much prefer the controls/handling to the DCKR series.

Re: Review: Yooka-Laylee And The Impossible Lair - A Delicious Mix Of Donkey Kong And Zelda
so it's more like the original DKC titles than DKCR? that's what it looks like and what i wanted to hear

well it's not like they have a lot of new material. lol.
Re: Review: Leisure Suit Larry - Wet Dreams Don't Dry - A Competent Point-And-Click That Might Raise A Smile
i simply respect women far too much to ever consider supporting a title like this. any proud feminist would feel the same way.

Re: Nintendo Will Remove Smash Bros. Ultimate's Offensive Depiction Of Native Americans
@Baker1000 nor do you understand humour or irony my friend. better go back to being offended on others behalf.
Re: Nintendo Will Remove Smash Bros. Ultimate's Offensive Depiction Of Native Americans
isn't mr g&w in blackface too? best to remove the character altogether.

Re: Senran Kagura Reflexions - Cheap Titillation Masquerading As A Love Story
sounds like this game is very problematic, it's 2018 right now. cheap sleaze certainly isn't my thing as i respect women far too much. sounds like you guys need to get on the reviewers level, lol.
Re: Details Regarding Nintendo Switch Online Services Will Be Shared In May
proper communication functionality is essential. xbox 360 did it over a decade ago and anything less in unacceptable.
Re: Bayonetta 3 Will Be "Crazier, Better, Tighter" Says PlatinumGames
main question for me is whether Kamiya is directing or not. B2 was great but not the masterpiece that was the original. also not expecting a 2018 release but that's OK.
Re: The Nintendo Switch Online Prices For Those Playing Down Under Are Finally In
do you still have to use a smartphone to get basic communication options (voice chat)?
Re: Rumour: Ridge Racer 8 Could Be Exclusively Drifting Onto Nintendo Switch
YES!!!! and real Ridge Racer please not that unbounded nonsense. rumours were flying about a HD remake of one of the earlier titles, so perhaps 'RR8' is part remake or the remake project morphed into a brand new entry. either way exciting!
Re: It Appears That Nintendo Has Unfinished Business With The 1080° Snowboarding Series
360, 720....1080!!!!
Re: Bayonetta 1 And 2 Are Getting A Special Edition Bundle With All The Trimmings
seems they are taking the mickey by still including the download code for a special edition. the whole point of a special edition is the physical aspect. they can just increase the price for the second cart, if they have to. love a good steelbook but i won't be supporting this.
Re: Reggie Fils-Aimé Targets an "Extra Nintendo Twist" for the Switch Online Service

Re: Nintendo Switch Online App to Bring Voice Chat and SplatNet 2 to Splatoon 2 Launch
needing to use a second device for basic communication functions present on consoles since the xbox 360, amazing!
in b4 you won't be able to chat during a game, lol. hope they patch support into existing titles (MK8, ARMS) at least.
