@Alucard83 we already see super shady moves from companies, this is their dream, no more ownership, just money do access to their pay wall constant steady stream of cash. Collectors be damned.
@ed5275 in the same boat here. Not played yet though as I am currently working through hollow Knight and dead cells. My pile of shame is pretty large now lol.
It seems that no one understands what setting a precedent is. So now we have to fear buy games at a price higher than we wanted in case it gets pulled at a moments notice. #fcuk digital gaming.
@thesilverbrick #until Nintendo started to allow people to sell half physical games. The practice infuriates me. Its good for no one but the greedy publishers. All involved should be smitted from existence.
If a cart exists that's large enough, it should be used. I refuse to believe its that expensive. Also flat out refuse to pay more than £29.99 for a downloaded game that can be pulled at any time.
@Mach_Rider as you play more you will learn to love the tight game design, i feel we have been spoiled by easy games.
This games leans the other way but i think that is ok.
Many times i have been pulling my hair out swearing at this game.
But it keeps teasing me back in for some more pain.
Certain unlocks and charms help, and watching the environments more closely for hidden walls and paths.
Stick with it, i feel its worth the effort.
I actually like that you have to earn the map.
@Fake-E-Lee I also think that it's too soon for an actual upgrade. I feel we need to give developers time to get things from the units we already have. The rush to more power is making some developers lazy in my opinion. Often releasing poor unoptimised code.
The are some key games that have proven that we have enough power here already.
However if they use better hardware that can make play smoother but not lead to a split of user base. I'd be OK with that. To attract more people.
I find it strange that companies like EA are not releasing MADDEN /NHL / NBA I feel FIFA has proved there is a market for sports games on switch. I'D Accept an adapted FIFA19 engine MADDEN 20 and am sure many others would too.
Also Sega could clean up with some of their bad ck catalog of racing and action games. I would wager that there is a good portion of switch owners that are also Sega fans.
I'm surprised how obsessed the seem to be with Sonic, when they have such a vast catalogue of great games.
@JaxonH I wonder if the whole game is on the physical. If yes it's ahead of NBA2K19 O on that front at least. From the looks of the review I'll be waiting for a sale.
Does anyone know if world Cup mode is here this time around?
I think they have missed the mark by not including analogue sticks on the controllers. An obvious choice for a game would have been gran turismo 2 but not as good without analogue controls. Would love to see Toca Touring cars 2 also... Ah well next time perhaps
@Galenmereth I feel you and this is why I have voted no with my wallet. Its in line with the half physical games Nintendo is allowing people to sell. Make they digital only or complete on the cart. Anti consumer is what it is, they have had a whole year to work on this and it's still half arsed. For shame Nintendo.
@GraveLordXD exactly, this has left a bad taste in my mouth. Excited to try it out, made me sad that I need online for a network test. But looking at the state of voice chat, it's clear that someone at the big N must be smoking some really good reefa.
Maybe there will be a regular demo down the line. #sadface
@thesilverbrick some people have deep pockets and will mot care. Nintendo know this and are laughing all the way to the bank. The rest of us will not buy them.
Just look at the £65 pro controller. some peoples weekly food shop is less than this. but alas i am guilty fuelling the corporate machine. Ill admit i do enjoy it.. £65 pounds worth is debatable, but there is still life in it yet...
SNES controllers will be next with the same caveat id wager.

I don't trust them with this responsibility.
Re: Soapbox: Huawei's Not The First Company To Vie For Nintendo's Portable Crown, And It Won't Be The Last
@nessisonett I agree, I have no doubt that governments all over are courting big businesses for access to their clients data.
And a lot of parts from most phones etc are made in China anyway

@Xaisu I fear for gaming already, greedy Companies are already taking us to the cleaners. Making up bizarre new rules as they go.

Re: NBA Playgrounds Is No Longer Available To Purchase From The Switch eShop
@Spoony_Tech shady as fcuk business practice, why physical will always win. Greed is king I guess.
Re: Review: Starlink: Battle For Atlas - A Shining Example Of Open World Star Fox Done Right
@Zuljaras yes i refuse to supprt this practice with any more of my cash,
Generally prefer Physical as it has more tangible value and collectable.
This new practice poops on the heads of gamers and collectors alike.
i hope there is a special place in hell for the people allowing this to tarnish the face of gaming.
Hey everyone here on switch you can now pay more for less.
Yay ..
if the Digital goes on sale at some point this is a maybe for me.
I refuse to pay more for Digital than physical though. so for now i pass

Re: This Diablo III Limited Edition Switch Console Hits Stores Next Month
@BANJO 100% agree, I guess they are worried about the game getting into the wild early.
I'll never be convinced by digital over physical. Not the same for a collector.
Hybrid physical games is pudding me off too. Will not buy another of those.

The only card I have had for on me so far has been a Samsung 128GB. but that may have been overuse.

Which vendor are you buying from please ?
Re: Review: MotoGP 18 (Switch)
@electrolite77 devs could use the right analogue stick for acceleration and braking that was my favourite way to play Toca Touring cars on ps1.
Base. Com have it for £22.85 so I have taken the plunge.
After a real racer. Will report back once I have tested it out.

Re: Get Discounts On Zelda, Yoshi And Lots More Games In The Latest US My Nintendo Rewards
@Matthew010 it OK Nintendo hate new switch only fans obviously.
Re: UK Charts Reveal That Just 1% Of FIFA 19 Sales Were On Switch, Physical Launch Sales Tumble
@SBandy thanks for the info, I actually have fifa 18 physically and digitally, will look out for a sale. Are you physical or digital with 19?
Re: UK Charts Reveal That Just 1% Of FIFA 19 Sales Were On Switch, Physical Launch Sales Tumble
@Equinox fifa 18 was not too bad, not pes but not too bad
Re: UK Charts Reveal That Just 1% Of FIFA 19 Sales Were On Switch, Physical Launch Sales Tumble
@SBandy I'll probably get it when it goes on sale.. Do you have fifa 18 also? If how does this measure up?
Re: Guide: The Best Micro SD Cards For Nintendo Switch
i had a 64 then a 128 now 200, will see how i go i guess.
was going to go all physical and hold out. Digital only games and hybrid physical mess has stitched me up a bit however.
Now moved to 400GB was on offer for £50 on Amazon for a Sandisk card about 366 GB usable, files transferring as we speak..

@Lone_Beagle this game heralded a new age in gaming.. Nostalgia sells and Sega know it. Reasonably priced for what it is assuming the port is good

Re: Soapbox: Nintendo's Excuses Regarding Cloud Saves Aren't Good Enough

Re: Wireless NES Controllers Won't Work With Other Games On Nintendo Switch
@thesilverbrick some people have deep pockets and will mot care. Nintendo know this and are laughing all the way to the bank.
The rest of us will not buy them.
Just look at the £65 pro controller. some peoples weekly food shop is less than this. but alas i am guilty fuelling the corporate machine. Ill admit i do enjoy it.. £65 pounds worth is debatable, but there is still life in it yet...
SNES controllers will be next with the same caveat id wager.
