@JR150 Um, that is what EBay Descriptions, Returns and Paypal Disputes are for. You can still find a functioning PS3 with barely any problems as long you're are not stupid. It is not like that the PS3 had very common occurrence of hardware failure like the 360 (i.e. Red Ring of Death)
Also, why would someone buy an RPG they clearly don't have time. Persona 5 takes time to play, so I would argue that if you can play a lengthy RPG, you have free time somewhere in your schedule.
Sure, it would be cool to have Persona 5 on the Swtich but every mainline game in the series has always been exclusive to a Playstation console despite spinoff releases of Persona 4 Arena on the 360 and Persona Q on the 3DS, not to mention guest appearances in Blazblue: Cross Tag Battle. A Switch port of Persona 5 or any mainline game is improbable.
May I remind everyone that Persona 5 is also on Playstation 3, which I hear is an above serviceable port, and the PS3 is dirt cheap these days, for a console anyways. So there is no excuse to not to play Persona 5. As for me, I have a stable job so I will be buying Persona 5 Royal when it is released on PS4, as well as Persona 5 Scramble. I am also hoping for a Persona 5 Arena as well.
Disney does not want to partner up with Nintendo, Disney wants to buy out Nintendo which probably will not happen in a long shot since Nintendo is almost as protective of their business compared to Disney..
Is that why Urban Champion is not available via Nintendo Switch Online, a special edition with a sound effect selection on a mini disc and a two page art book...I am pre-ordering immediately!
Miiverse is not coming back. Nintendo could decide to develop a successor...in fact, they have with their silly phone app but they might come up with something considering how poor their app is receiving with the critics and fans but this is Nintendo we're talking about, a company that generally does not listen to feedback...well, at least they don't until a few years down the line when they finally acknowledge their failures when it is far too late. I am convinced nothing is coming regarding social media.
1. Just because a game runs poorly on PC doesn't mean it won't run better on another platform.
2. Metro Redux runs flawlessly on my PC, probably because I updated my PC over the years with new hardware. You have to install updated hardware to keep up with PC gaming. If your PC cannot play a game as old as Metro Redux, you have outdated tech in your PC.
Nintendo is promoting their game to seek customer interest into buying it. It makes more sense to pick a game that would take more time beyond the promotion.
Nintendo games are real games. They are games for all ages as in adults and children can play them. You are thinking of hardcore games. Also, why are you on a Nintendo forum if you don't like Nintendo games?
Depends on the game, and what features you want use. Of course you want to use the latest patch for online gaming. With most single player games can still be played without patches, although some games are released either incomplete or have more free content after release such as Kirby: Star Allies. Some people may also prefer to go physical to save space on their SD Micros, and collector like to keep games on display on their shelf. Digital or physical, it is your own call what you want to go with. One thing for sure, with every game released today, there will be a patch for it.
Gyro & motion controls is nice and all, but performance comes first in my mind. I am not insterested in subpar port. They already got me with Revelations 2 which has absolute garbage performance on the Switch.
Atooie just shot themselves in the foot with this update. The already announced a September Q&A update but nothing became of that with not even a mention of cancellation or delay on their Kickstarter. Yes, it was fair for backers to expect at least a September update.
@EmmatheBest A life bar was the least of Rogue Corps' problem, if at all. A three or four hit life bar would help the series reach a wider audience, that is if SNK intends to make a more conventional Metal Slug game instead of the 3D Contra slop Konami rushed out.
I was going to buy the all the Dragon Quest games until I discovered they are ports of the mobile versions, just like they did with Chrono Trigger when they released it on Steam. I'll pass on those and just stick with Dragon Quest XI S.
Nope...gave Ubisoft too many chances, not this time. They already failed remastering Assassin's Creed 3 so no buy for me. That's too bad cause Black Flag is one of Ubisoft's better game. I'll stick with Uplay...don't really like that either but pick your poison I guess.
"No plans" just means "we're not telling." I am more than certain there will be Ori and the Will of the Wisps on the Switch in one or two years after it launches on XBox One and PC.
Ori is technically a Microsoft franchise so Windows and XBox One will get the sequel first. I do hope a Switch port will be coming in the future otherwise there would be no point bringing the original game to the Switch. Anyways, day one buy for me despite I already own the game twice but it is so good, I am willing to triple dip. Although, I think Ori and the Blind Forest looks so gorgeous, it should be played on a large television with highest resolution possible, preferably 4K. Really, Ori and the Blind does not need to be on the Switch but great games are always welcome on it.
@jtmnm Nintendo will still have to test Joycons to determine drifting apart from Joycons with damaged components. I am not just talking about aesthetic damage. Though, it would not surprise me if someone tried send a cracked Joycon for drifting. Like I said, Nintendo should still charge dishonest consumers.
@jtmnm I already aware of the issue. Did you even bother to read my comment? I merely suggesting that some people might try to send broken joycons claiming they are drifting when it could be a different issue, for example Joycons not working at all. I never once said drifting was not manufacturing defect. I know defects can happen as well.
He's not wrong, there will be people who broke their Joycons due to carelessness take advantage of the offering. I think Nintendo should test Joycons of drifting before making repairs, and charge consumers who lied 10% more of repair costs. Good to hear Nintendo is trying to remedy the situation though.
Not buying this one at all. Launch a broken game, not going for it even if it gets patch eventually. At the very least, fixing the Switch version should of been top priority, but clearly it's not. I'll just stick the DS Castlevania games, and Symphony of the Night.
This was such a random greenlight and so unlike Ubisoft; to remaster a sixteen year old game everyone forgotten. Perhaps EA will join aboard and remake Freedom Fighters.
Anyways, I own XIII on PS2. Hardly touched it...probably not going to rebuy it. First Person Shooters are not my genre.
Nintendo would never just hand off a project like a Zelda II remake or follow up to some random indie dev. Nor, will Nintendo green-light a project via social media. Brace Yourself Games isn't working on the next big project for Nintendo, Cadence of Hyrule is just a small collaboration. Sure, this could open the door for indie developers to make use of Nintendo's IP but a Zelda II remake is far-fetched. Also, there is already a Zelda remake coming so I doubt Nintendo will green light another now.
I am convinced the RE Engine which Devil May Cry 5 and Resident Evil 2 uses is not compatible with the Switch, especially after Capcom's experiment with Resident Evil 7: Cloud Version. I doubt we will see DMC5 on the Switch anytime soon.
Like any other digital store, Humble Bundle have sales everyday. However, don't expect any Nintendo games go on sale anytime soon if at all. Most console games hardly ever go on sale on these sites, mostly just PC games.
The Switch cannot handle the RE Engine natively. Capcom had to settle for Cloud gaming for Resident Evil 7 which I assume it didn't work out in Japan. Resident Evil 2 is not ever coming to the Switch.
Sheesh, people start rumors from the pettiest things. So, Microsoft likes Smash Bros. So what? That doesn't mean anything other than exactly what is said.
I'm actually shocked Nintendo came forth and said something at all. This news is disappointing but not something to worked up over. Still looking forward to Metroid Prime 4 whenever it releases.
So, he is still considered the "King of Kong" despite he no longer holds the highest record? Also, he went out of his way to defend his internet fame, that's just sad. Caught cheating or not; time to move on with your life Mitchell.
I doubt there will be a Switch version of Spyro: Reignited Trilogy. Activision didn't bother to invest in triple layer Blu-Ray discs, or span out to two or three standard Blu-ray discs. Granted, it is not a standard to use bigger or more discs and it cost more money but the thing is, Activision has money...they are a multi-billion dollar company. Activision can afford to give Toys For Bob the budget to make their game fit on discs. If Activision is not willing fork out the money for full retail copies instead cobbling them together with patches, Activision will most likely not compress the game for the Switch. Sure, they did it with Crash Bandicoot but it was only 23 GB on PS4 before it was compressed to 5 GB for the Switch. Spyro is a whopping 64 GB on PS4 and 42 GB on XBox One. Sure, you could argue Bethesda did compress DOOM onto the Switch which has an average size around 40 GB on other platforms but it all comes down to money and Bethesda was willing to take the risk. If Activision is not willing to invest into producing full retail copies of Spyro: Ignited Trilogy. I doubt they are willing to spend the money to compress such a large game. Perhaps if it was a smaller business publishing Spyro, I would give them a pass but that is not the case. Also, do you really want a crappier version of this game anyways, I sure don't.
Nintendo should of included a LAN port on the dock. They are once again behind the times. The PS4 and Xbox One comes with a LAN port built in. Even the PS2 has one. I should not have to buy a LAN adapter. There is a USB port that I never use where a LAN port should be. Anyways, wireless seems to work fine for me but I'll buy a LAN adapter as a last resort.
I guess I'll go full digital. I don't buy these half-baked physical collections. Putting Legacy Collection 2 on the front cover like that is just wrong because it is not on the cartridge. It should be tucked in the corner like Bayonetta was with Bayonetta 2.
