@Itachi2099 big busines hating on money all over again. As I have gotten older and my game time gets eaten away by life. Switch has changed the game. I already have almost 30 games, but there are still many genre holes in my collection. Sega has such an extensive back catalogue of games.im hammering for some SEGA Saturn and Dreamcast releases. Come on SEGA my money is waiting.
@JamesR I'm glad it's not, as good as it plays and looks, I think the half game physical half download should not be rewarded. And 5gb for a save file is ridiculous. I own it but for shame take 2 for shame
As soon as they mentioned it was a single button game, i lost interest. Will take a loot to convince me that it will be deep enough for me to part with my money. Hmm This or the latest king of fighters? i know what id prefer. Sorry guys maybe next time.
Tatsunoko vs capcom did the simple mode a bit better, having 2 control sets, one that was accessible and another deeper one.
Of course, this is all conjecture on my part as we have not had a chance to play this yet, maybe they will prove us all doubters wrong. Time will tell.
Maybe Nintendo Tv is oncoming lol, that is the only reason i can think of for the hold up, outside of technical issues. I'm personally more invested in Amazon prime services, soundcloud and plex at this point
@bolt05 the amount of people that convinced their parents to get a PS2 because it also ran dvd's was a large number. Nintendo are missing the opportunity to sneak in extra sales where they may have gotten 0. More sales of HW means more attractive for devs. Even if they buy 0 games, which is pretty unlikely once they are in it will grow the userbase. Many people are put off by the fact that it does just games that is a fact.
I live my swicth, but more apps, better support for video recording / sharing in games and a better unified online chat / lobby system will make the system more attractive period.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE wake up, its not like you would watch Netflix while playing games at the same time lol. This is Nintendo being well um Nintendo !!!! they say that want to go for casual users. Wake up Nintendo casual users , steam videos, a device for mass market of this kind needs to do more than just play games. Right now the gamers get it an we are in. But more apps means more time to buy into the switch dream. I have a tablet and a smart phone , but would gladly let the tablet go if my switch did a little more, come on you know it makes sense.
Even if they don't give us a web browser, streaming is might now, and only on the rise in my opinion.
yeah, i guess for me languages are the lesser of two evils, in an ideal world maybe the carts would ship with a portion of writable memory to account for saving of the preferred languages. we can but dream.
for me 128GB should be enough to sustain me for now, as long as i avoid the madness.
I completely agree, devs have become accustomed to releasing non optimised code, and the trend is only growing. recently purchased Marvel Vs Capcom infinite for pc and was shocked that its over 50GB thank got i managed to get it on sale pretty cheaply..
@sillygostly But the game is playable in its entirety without downloading anything. (language packs not withstanding) the works example so far to my mind is NBA2K18 in terms of both download size ad storage location. i have a 128GB memory card already, and its working well for me largely.
@Nincompoop because of greed. I have NBA 2k18 and DOOM, but that is my limit until they resolve this issue.
NINTENDO Releasing Extra content fro games such as Splatoon and ARMS is not in the same league as what is being done with selected third party games. i have passed on LA NOIRE because of this BS. by releasing that game in its current guise the publisher has shown this gamer that they do not want my cash. period.
There is a consensus that users will pay more for complete physical over digital anyway. many times physical can be sourced more cheaply than digital anyway. i fear we are moving towards a digital only future where the prices of games will rise and this will be good for no one other than the publishers.
@Kylo_Ren yeah that is what i take away from this, i hope they come out and the money grabbers can start selling complete physical games again. we can but dream...
id also be up for SC2 HD port of the GC version, if the price was right of course. but saying that i paid £40 for Street fighter already, and will likely get the SF collection also if it is £40 or less.
agreed, i don't think @NoxAeturnus plays any 2D fighters to any serious level. even basic street fighter 2 is a chore on the standard set-up. Maybe we will get an official dpad joycon combo with the street fighter anniversary edition.
@Baker1000 exactly, I'm sure it will generate more sales. I don't think it's a bad game actually, once I had remapped the shoot and long ball buttons ....
They could at least give us 12 switch at this point surely .. A dad Day, i have stopped registering my physical games. but with Digital you have no choice. All i have that i can you are the Prima Mini Guides. NO Wii U no 3DS, help me Nintendo, i have no rewards to redeem here. Maybe some VC games will be offered up at some point if it comes along anytime soon.
@TossedLlama we have some strange hybrid physical situation currently, so personally i have gone from a 64 GB mSD to a 128 GB one. In an ideal world if you were going all physical you would have been A ok. If you choose your games carefully you will be ok however.
We do have some Digital only games though so id say its worth picking up at least a 32 GB mSD as an absolute minimum. but 64 GB is the best priced in the UK at least, the US seems to have better prices.
I feel that for GAME, pricing is always an issue. i understand that shops cost money to keep open but competition is competition. You must bring something to the fore if you use the name GAME to trade under. back in the day you could find staff who were passionate about and played you know GAMES. this is becoming less and less common. It’s interesting how Amazon approaches selling products masses at a good average rather than lesser at a higher price, followed by crazy discounts to clear the warehouse.
It looks like EA are chasing down micro transactions hard, maybe ultimate team switch is not earning them enough extra cash. I picked that up as Launch and i think its a great game in its own right. In the interest of growing the Switch player base though, they should try to fix the online friend battles issue with a patch if they are really taking things seriously. Also the RRP was alittle high i felt, although it has now dropped to a more reasonable 39.99 from places like Amazon etc. I think if they really want to push they should consider putting it on Sale for that price on the eshop over Christmas, more sold = more chance for the micro transactions they seem to love.
Im sure that Microsoft and Sony are looking seriously at the current state of success with regards to the Switch.
Innovation and refinement once again for the win. My favourite Nintendo console since the Gamecube,
@sas0ng I agree this is definitely the case, the only thing greater is an arcade stick, for portable solo play, the lack of a d-pad breaks things up quite badly. I wonder to i get a fellow commuter to hold my switch on the train while i bust out my pro controller ?
Nintendo could just release a left Joy-con with a D-pad (fighter joy-con/ classic joy-con or whatever they with to call it and release its and go laughing all the way to the bank), carrying a small left joy-con, i don't believe would be that big a deal.
@GC-161
Amen to that, we seem to be chasing resolution bumps at an alarming rate.
And increasing we are seeing beautiful looking hollow experiences.
Ahh the good old days eh
still nothing much to get if you only own a switch, come on Nintendo you can do better. I fear they care not for their newly created user base, my points will start to expire before there is anything for me to get at this point. i have almost all of the images sets that have become available already.
They are out to [removed] wallets everywhere, massive companies crying poverty, at this stage go digital only and be done with , stop the i have a physical version available lies please.
