Of course it's a flop, why would anyone buy this after 99 got pulled? I was a huge fan of pac-man 99 and this is inferior. None of this makes any sense.
I always laugh when people say (insert name of social media) is full of bad people or whatever, these things are what you make them and reflect what you use and search for. My twitter feed is full of indie game developers and car people with the odd thing from another one or two of my hobbies, Warhammer, maybe a fitness thing etc. If it’s full of negativity it’s only yourself to blame.
It’s kind like when that US senator complained that the adverts on a site he visited had mens lingerie (or whatever it was) advertised not knowing that they were targeted ads based on his previous searches 🤣🤣
@Clammy No, I have done pretty thorough research. I have used 3 switches, my own and 2 borrowed ones over the course of testing. I went to currys when pokemon sword and shield came out and tested; luigis mansion, pokemon shield and later ran tests on animal crossing.
In currys and later at my brothers house. He has multiple monitors including 250hz gaming monitors and all tvs and monitors showed ghosting, doubling of images etc. it was not just witnessed by me but by everyone I have shown in person.
@Clammy I am yet to meet someone where we are in the same room and I point out the ghosting effects of 30fps and they can see it. I dont want to personally offend your physical attributes but unless you need glasses or your brain is literally not fast enough to see it, I dont know what to say.
@Clammy I’m unable to play games at 30. I prefer 60 with the occasional drop at least that way it’s mostly smooth and other times isnt rather than quick succession of images almost but never quite appearing as video. I notice with in 5 seconds if something is 30fps because everything looks like this in motion
@Tayrailbridge I agree 45 really does make the difference, it takes that jarring edge off.
@EVIL-C I’m not being snobby, I literally am unable to play 30fps games.
How are people against 30fps ruining it for anyone?
Surely you can see it’s the other way around?
As those who are ok with it being 30 make it ok for companies to continue doing so, making it so people who cannot play 30 in turn cannot play these games.
@HalloHerrNoob When was it normal? It’s a very modern thing, almost all of my previous games from nes all the way up until now are running st the very least 50fps and even 30 on a crt is less jarring than 30 on an lcd. What games are you referring to?
The reason I am mostly digital is because I play mostly indie games. All my mainline games are physical. I would have gone more physical but because they are so niche there is a huge markup and scalping which I didnt want to be part of.
I’m intrigued by cosmic hare but as per usual I am into super niche games which nobody else cares about and so there are no reviews etc. maybe I should start making those reviews.
I'd say there are a lot more things in the gaming industry in front of the use of exclamation marks which need to go, micro transactions, 30fps, unfinished games, games as a service....
@Spider-Kev go to the far right on the home screen to see all of your games and then press L I think to go to folders, they are called groups. It says at the top right when you are looking at all of your games. You need to have more than 12 games to access that feature.
It’s probably too late in the switch’s lifecycle to expect anything novel such as home screen music etc. I still massively appreciate the folders update from a few years ago. I use those pretty much daily.

Re: Video: Nintendo World Championships Japanese Gameplay Officially Revealed
I'm well up for this tbh! I love the nes classics remix, although that did look better than this.
Re: EA Apparently Exploring The Idea Of In-Game Ads In Traditional AAA Titles
It’s no longer indie games and AAA, it’s just games and then the commercialisation and bastardisation of video games.
Re: Talking Point: One Year On, Has Everyone Beaten Ganondorf In Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
@Adol-Bannings The irony is that if I do try to play 30fps I legit need eyedrops.
Re: Talking Point: One Year On, Has Everyone Beaten Ganondorf In Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
I couldn't get past the part where the game ran at 30fps.

Re: Poll: Are You Bothered By The Frame Rate For Paper Mario: TTYD On Switch?
@Clammy No, I have done pretty thorough research. I have used 3 switches, my own and 2 borrowed ones over the course of testing. I went to currys when pokemon sword and shield came out and tested; luigis mansion, pokemon shield and later ran tests on animal crossing.

Some images here
https://www.nintendolife.com/forums/nintendo-switch/the_framerate_hill_am_willing_to_die_on
And this was taken at the time of the original testing. This showed up from old 1080p monitors to 4k OLEDs to 250hz gaming monitors.
Character standing still - Looks sharp

Character movies - Blurs

Just to be sure I grabbed a fresh set of images taken right now.
Standing still

Moving

If this was not the case then why would there even be a discussion around 30 vs 60 fps?

https://www.nintendolife.com/forums/nintendo-switch/the_framerate_hill_am_willing_to_die_on
These are actual screenshots of a 30fps game which should have been 60. This is unplayable/unacceptable.
@eaglebob345 PC or you know, all my other games and consoles of the last 30 years.
Re: Poll: Are You Bothered By The Frame Rate For Paper Mario: TTYD On Switch?
I’m simply unable to play 30fps unless it’s like a chess game or something.
