@goldgriffin360 Inflation is one factor moving the needle in that direction but there are so many and larger things moving it in the other direction such as the audience it bigger now meaning they can charge less per game, the physical part of games costs less now than it did before and so on.
This gives off “You guys have phones dont you?” vibes.
In all seriousness though I’m glad this was covered as I thought the system might explode if you pressed the c button without their greedy grabby little fingers all over my credit card.
@sanderev Thats what I’m hoping but the proof will be in the pudding. Plus some of them wont be emulated properly/at all. It’s similar to the 360 backwards compatibility situation.
@johnvboy The only one in the facts section which could be disputed as a fact or not would be the games costing too much part but the market will soon make that decision I guess.
switch 1 games are emulated & will have similar issues as xbox games on the 360
the whole c button situation needing a subscription for a button
it’s so much cheaper in japan meaning that they could charge so much less for it
My personal situation
I dont need a new console rn, I buy an indie game on switch every other week or so
I have the cash but not ready to spend it, between the console, a controller, a new 120hz monitor, I’m looking at £1000 all in. I’m not confident on how the eshop will transition
I’ll be waiting for after the release and I’m in no hurry.
Wtf? These are a must imo. I use one on my switch and it really boosts it on so many games. There’s a bigger jump with these than there is from ps5 to ps5 pro. Honestly I dont get why these aren't an industry standard. When I show these to people in person they’re always like “ah ok that looks much better than on photos”.
@AnnoyingFrenzy Deku deals. I'm in the middle of making a youtube channel series with a bunch of hidden gems which I've found in the deepest darkest depths of the eshop.
Even though I believe them I’m still going to wait and see how integrated it is. I’ve dropped over £2.5k on 400+ games, I need to see that they’ll transition over seamlessly.
@Cikajovazmaj Unless you're at one end of a room where the background remains still everything is ghosting like crazy. I would rather lower graphics if it meant it was more playable. If they had 2 modes available that would have been amazing.
@masterLEON It’s my most played wii u game and it’s also the last 30fps game I tolerated. A smooth fps is not a cosmetic one, 30fps causes unnecessary eye strain and fatigue.
@ChakraStomps Smash bros, mario kart, mario odyssey plus 400+ of my indie games I play on switch. All run at 60. There are limitations but they have spent those limitations on other things rather than how well it runs.

Re: Sakurai Says Japanese Developers Should Avoid Trying To Appeal To Western Tastes
Good for him standing up to these DEI bullies. People do not want propaganda in their games.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition
