@johnvboy Sounds like you have no idea what you're talking about. Glassfiber internet here.You must have poor internet that you can't notice the difference. Everything must be slow at your house.
Now that I think of it: Tetris Attack was a really dumb name for the game. I got used to it, but it was at a time that the Tetris company wasn't really good at branding.
Why is everybody so obsessed cross play? What's fun about pitting a Switch player with 30fps, wonky drifting joycons and mediocre wifi against a PS4 player? I don't think it's fun for either of them.
@HalBailman That was TWO YEARS after the New 3DS was released. Which means both versions were on the same shelve for years, which is what I said. It makes sense that if they already produced millions of the older model that were still available, that they used the production capacity to produce a newer and more expensive one, instead of producing more of the older version which clearly weren't selling as fast anymore.
@HalBailman The New 3DS was sold here in Europe besides the 3DS. I think the regular 3DS and XL were around 40 euros cheaper. I remember it clearly because the old 3DS XL was around the same price as the New 3DS(non XL) The 2DS was also still available when the New 2DS came out. I bought one last year.
Actually, Nintendo has a worse track record than Sony and Microsoft. All PS4 games run on both models. DSi and New 3DS both had some exclusives that you couldn't run on the old one.
So I hope they go for the Pro route instead of breaking compatibility like they did before.
@HalBailman 'At best there will be a more substantial upgrade, or revision, with more memory, better battery, better kickstand, perhaps better and bigger screen and perhaps better processing. '
That's basically the definition of a Pro model. But Nintendo would probably call it The New Switch or something along those lines.
The 3DS had a ton of different models. 3DS, 3DS XL, 2DS, New 3DS, New 3DS XL, New 2DS.
I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo releases a New Switch SP in a few years with a clamshell design so it has a smaller footprint and is easier to carry. It makes too much sense.
@Dang69 I'm talking about multiplayer. The maps in Splat 1 were more fun. Some had a ton of verticality, others were bigger. In splatoon 2 they all feel the same with the action mostly centered in the middle of the map. Singleplayer Splatoon is really boring. The Expansion was pretty fun though, although it was a bit short and the final boss is reaaaaally cheap.
@BarefootBowser Splatoon 1 was way more fun. The specials were way over the top. You had to change weapons and gear for every stage. Every stage required a different strategy. In Splatoon 2 all levels play the same. Too easy to get to S+. Splatoon 1 was unbalanced, but fun. Splatoon 2 balances everything, but lost it's unique charm in the progress. It's a more watered down generic experience.
Lol, the readers here got used to the 9 outta 10 instaclassic reviews for every indie game on NintendoLife.
Beating a game in under one hour is just bad. Especially 100%.
It's a 2D 8bit style platform game, how much time could it take to create some more stages? There is no excuse for something like that. A 4 is generous
Loved the PSVR version. Might pick this up on Switch because I never played the original. Will wait for a sale though, the games are always discounted on PSN.
It would take me more time to make one myself than it would take to earn $325, so it's not that bad.
If it takes her a few hours to make one (plus all the time it cost to design the whole thing), then the price isn't that bad at all. Y'all just used to Chinese children making all your toys.
@Heavyarms55 i agree, but you can't expect Nintendo to kill their indie support. Plus it generates money. The SNES cow must be a bit dry by now. They have been milking it ever since the Wii was released 13 years ago. All my nostalgic feelings for classic games disappeared by now. Seeing another Link to the Past release is like seeing FIFA 21.
Plus they need the indie support to fill the store. Real third party support still isn't that strong.
I thought it was crap, until they released Tetris 99. That's my favorite game on the system.
Other than that, it's still not that great. I don't think they will be releasing SNES games, unless it's some $10 a month subscription. It would canibalize the indie game sales. The nes games are so boring that they don't compete with anything else on the system.
But any way, never expect good deals from Nintendo. It never happens.
I hate games where you move like snail in a lifeless world and have to solve boring puzzles. I'm pretty sure you have to do things like pushing a rock onto a spot, which opens a door to an area where you have to press 5 buttons in a particular order to move to the next. Then you have to stand on a slow moving platform until you move near another moving platform so you can do your slow floaty jump. So exciting.
It's not an original idea, but battle royale Splatoon with a huge map would be amazing. And some good ol' death match. Most players seem to go for the kills any way.
I might buy one if you can easily download all the eshop games I already bought without any hassle(like having to remove the game from my original switch to install it on the lite). I want it to be as easy as switching to a new phone, where it automatically downloads all the apps that are linked to your account. And sync the save games and use the same Nintendo online account.
I'm pretty sure Nintendo will screw this up though.

Re: This New Adapter Will Transform Your Keyboard Into A Nintendo Switch Controller
@Luigivaldo You can already get the Gamo2 K28 for the Switch.
This adapter won't be released until at least mid 2021. Also quite expensive ($69).
But yeah, Nintendo should just support USB keyboards. The Switch has USB, use it Nintie.

Not half as bad as scrolling through the eShop and having to wait every second for 4 icons games to load.

Re: Tetris 99 Teams Up With Luigi's Mansion 3 For New Maximus Cup Event
@Ooccoo_Jr Nice, I also got that one.
The regular Tetris 99 mode became really easy though. All the skilled players moved to Invictus.
Re: Tetris 99 Teams Up With Luigi's Mansion 3 For New Maximus Cup Event
Still need to win two more games in Invictus. Got 8 now, but keep finishing second.
They should make these Maximus events more challenging though. Playing one game to win the theme is not really satisfying.

Maybe if you play Minecraft.
Xbox vs PS4 is another story though.
