Nintendo should learn to use and let their consoles be fully compatible with 3rd party engines.
But they are and this is good.
But you will never reach the full potential of a console using a 3rd party middleware, because of that that Nintendo themselves never use a general purpose 3rd party middleware (they used a physics based for Zelda though).
You have more productivity with them (because they are faster and generic), but you lost performance (because of the high abstraction).
Makes no sense to use them in a 1st party development.
Do the leaderboards include an option to only view people on your friend list? That’s always more interesting to me than world rankings where I will never be good enough to compete in.
I would like an answer to this too. That makes a lot of difference. I wish reviews could have some of these little details.
Since the new Fire Emblem games are dumbed down (and this is not in a negative way, since I have more than 300 hours in Engage), a remake of an older game only makes sense in the last year of the console.
I just hope that this one (if exists) have a better luck than FE2 remake.
A mandatory rebalancing update for a single player game?
What did they change?
The major complaint were that the drops/rewards were too scarce, so they made the game easier in all difficulties and expanded the inventory if I remember right.
I can also open Google to search another review of this game in another site. That is not the point (also, I do not use Google by the way).

@TotalHenshin I do not even know what a "boomer" is supposed to mean.
Despite being a british blog, that caters to usofans, Nintendo Life audience is from all around the world. And would be cool if they are really interested in inclusion, and be inclusion for all, not for some topics only.
A definition of these slangs on the review (even as a footnote) would be greatly appreciated.
@Danondorf Steamworld Heist Miiverse page was also pretty popular back then.
And I mean, Steamworld Heist is a 3DS game from 2015, Steamworld Dig 2 is from 2017, when every eShop launch were big. It makes no sense to talk about Heist in 2017 though.
I still use the Steamworld Heist theme in one of my 3DS.
But in the end, all of these games are (will be) on Switch now, so let us rejoice.

Why? Or, what is the advantage?
I only see people talking about how this makes racing games more realistic, but these same people only uses automatic transmission...
I remember using it on Super Mario Sunshine and that is it. The R and L were awful for Double Dash.

We all know that this is because of usofan hipocrisy, let us be honest here.

This is what happens when you use a 3rd party middleware.
Nintendo should not let partners to use these generic engines in their franchises.

You are wrong. In USofA, Switch Sports costs US$ 39,99.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Switch Sports Basketball - A Slam Dunk Or A Missed Shot?
I am not a fan of these "free DLC". I want the game complete, the full experience, since the beginning.
Saying that, I am still playing. A lot. Badminton, volleyball and football are so much fun.
Re: Poll: What's Your Switch Game Of The Year Of 2024 So Far?

Re: Talking Point: Would You Want Quality And Performance Options For Nintendo's 'Switch 2' Games?

If these old games can run the same way the already are, it is ok for me.

Re: New Steamworld Heist II Gameplay Trailer Is Packed With Missions And Mystery
3DS Steamworld Heist was great until de update dumbing down the game.
I hope that they do not make this one easier for everyone, since the games have a lot of difficulty options.
Do not buff my steam loot, please.
Re: Geoff Keighley Would Love Nintendo To "Be A Big Part" Of Summer Game Fest
No, thanks.
I think that Nintendo should not associate with this big ego full of himself. He represents all the bad things that we got in this industry.
Plus, he used his father fame to open some doors.
Games should be for everyone, but this Keighley do not care about that at all. It is not summer for everyone, and not everyone is awake at PST.
Re: Review: Wizardry: Proving Grounds Of The Mad Overlord (Switch) - A Grand Remake Of An Iconic Game

The best way to play a RPG is to immerse itself in the world, get lost and learn things the hard way.
Using online guides and playing while listening a podcast simply removes the "R" from RPG.

Re: SteamWorld Heist Is Getting A Surprise Sequel On Switch This Summer
@Danondorf
What?! The first game was very popular on the 3DS. Had a gigantic AMA on r/nintendoswitch and a lot of people were engaging in the Twitter back then.
I saw more people talking about Steamworld Heist (3DS) than Steamworld Dig 2 (Switch).
Re: SteamWorld Heist Is Getting A Surprise Sequel On Switch This Summer
The first version of the 3DS game was great, until they dumbed down the difficulty.
The original Steamworld Heist was the best indie game on the 3DS.
Day one for me.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Indie World Showcase Predictions - What Do You Expect To See?
Only the first two Indie World (Nindies at the time) were good.
I will skip this one.
