They should scrap all other Sonic games that aren't S1, S2, S3, S&K and Mania and remake fresh new ones in 3D but with the classic characters models instead of those terrible modern ones.
@kobashi100 Compression is clearly the problem, yes sir. Not only on the Switch but also on the XONE/PS4. The only thing you showed me is their compression is even shittier on the other 2 consoles.
Sorry, I won't buy this game even if it scores a 10 out of 10. I don't agree with this you need a SD Card to download the physical game in the cartridge you just got from the store thing.
2K Games: learn how to efficiently compress data and them we'll do business, aye? Good luck!
@maceng I highly doubt those cost since in Brazil, where I live now, you can find 32Gb around U$ 10 and 64Gb around U$ 16 to 20. If I, the final consumer (with all those godammed brazilian taxes) get to pay that, there's something very, very wrong with they are all saying there, you see that?
I don't believe at all they have more costs to produce their games for the Switch but when we are talking MASS PRODUCTION it's only obvious that you won't have that kind of monstrous cost with a 64Gb card.
I hope you get what I'm writing.
So, at the end, I see that it's more expensive to make a game for the Switch than PS4/XONE and I'm willing to support that extra cost considering all the Switch has to offer.
Also, NBA requiring 5Gb just for a save data is ludicrous. It's just lazy to not use some kind of compressing data tech of some sort. I don't respect that at all and as much as I love basketball, I won't buy that game.
It's not the same thing as DOOM having you to DL the multiplayer. It's not everyone that enjoy MP (like me). I believe that (you having to DL the MP in games) should be the standard from now on. So, I totally approve that practice.
@maceng What? You are actually saying a 64Gb for Switch costs 40 bucks for devs and pubs? C'mon on, man... Nevertheless, I'm aware of the Switch tax and if I'm willing to pay for it so I can have the full game to myself and not a fraction of it.
Is Nintendo waiting for the Virtual Console release on the Switch to officially produce those? I'd love to have a NES, SNES, N64 and GC styled classic controllers!
Virtual Console (NES, SNES, N64, GB, GBC, GC, GBA, Wii, DS, Wii U, 3DS - one can only hope for those last two but it's highly improbable), lots of ports from the X360/PS3 generation and more 3rd party support. That's all I care about.
I don't mind. It's a great game. PS4/XONE physical copies are simply not worth to get nowdays. Switch's in the other hand are beautiful and I won't have to download and install it on internal storage to play, I can play it from the get-go. So, again, I don't care paying U$ 10 for more quality.
@TheLZdragon Thing is... what about the people who don't want to buy any additional memory? F"reak" them?
I don't want this BS. When I chose Switch, I loved the fact about cartridges not having me waiting a 20 minute download just to play it. As a matter of fact, that's simply why I ditched my PS4 and my XONE in the first place.
It's a shame that happened to Switch because using cartridges to avoid that BS was a real differential to me.
@JunkRabbit Right. In the scenario I don't want to buy a memory card but I really want X game to play. What option do I have instead of being forced to buy. Not much of a option to make there, isn't? That's my point.
For example, NBA2K18 REQUIRES a Memory Card for you to play it. If you don't get one, you won't be able to play.
@Amsterdamsters No. Maybe you don't see the difference between having a game on a cartridge and having a game on a optical media.
The Switch uses cartridges which in theory would have enough extra space to download updates to your games without using external memory cards.
Why they are pulling this stunt? They are just transferring the cost - even if its a small cost - to you.
Note: you have paid U$300 for a Nintendo Switch WITHOUT a decent storage. You have paid less than U$ 300 in a regular PS4/XONE with 500Gb at least.
So, if you (by you I mean all of us as consumers) don't see how this is very, very bad for us consumers, maybe you (we) deserve to throw more and more money at those people for things we should have from the get go or without an extra cost.
@JunkRabbit And you are accepting to pay full price on a game that isn't entirely available on the cartridge? Well, I am certainly not ok with this.
IMO, you just have the illusion you are the guy calling the shots in this matter. Maybe it suits fine for you but not for me.
Also, if this catches on, what'll be the point of releasing games on cartridges if you basically have to download it later? You'll let them sell empty boxes with download codes - oh, wait, it's happening already... (of course, people are actually willing to let they keep doing this).
@GrailUK Don't worry, I hardly get offended! But thanks for being so thoughtful.
Anyways, scalpers are a problem too. I have managed to pre-order my SNES Mini this time from El Corte Inglés in Spain but now they are all sold out. I hope they deliver it to me!
I think Nintendo is maybe doing this "shortages" on purpose just to see their products on high demand or something. And I don't like this attitude AT. ALL.
I'll think about getting them as long as they release physical copies. I'm not much into digital releases. I've passed Sonic Mania (for now) because it's downloadable only, image those games. So, it's really up to you, TellTale.

Bring us all your games, Bethesda. And I mean some older games too, like Wolfenstein: The New Order.

Switch is the future of console and handheld gaming, chaps. No point denying that.

So, I don't have much use to Netflix on my Nintendo Switch.

Re: Here's How Much Data You'll Need To Download For NBA 2K18 On Switch
@kobashi100 At least we would have the full game in our possession.
Re: Here's How Much Data You'll Need To Download For NBA 2K18 On Switch
@maceng that's the price for us, consumers not for them to produce. The difference wouldn't surpass 10 dollars.
Re: Here's How Much Data You'll Need To Download For NBA 2K18 On Switch
NBA is just about poor memory management.
Why not ship the game in a bigger cartridge and charge a little more?
L.A. Noire does that and it's fine by me.
Re: Super Mario Odyssey's File Size is Only a Little Bigger Than an NBA 2K18 Save File
I won't buy NBA 2K18 just because of that bullcrap of requiring a SD card. Switch isn't PS4 or XONE to tolerate such things.

Re: Nintendo Switch Is Getting A New Phantasy Star Online Game

I hope there's a single player campaign too. (I dunno nothing about this game, really).
Re: Project Octopath Traveler Headed To Switch Next Year

Re: Editorial: Mandatory Memory Cards for Switch Retail Games is a Messy Solution
@JunkRabbit Well, I dunno if this would be entirely optional. When the box says "required" I understand that's mandatory.
About the New 3DS thing, maybe it didn't continued because the complaints were sure heavy and maybe they listened.
Re: Editorial: Mandatory Memory Cards for Switch Retail Games is a Messy Solution
@peppaz Now, on the Switch, they already come in the cartridge with free remaining space. They are just transferring the costs to us.
The worst is: people are actually defending them for this practice instead of deny this.
I guess who just accept this deserves to be harvested for their money.
Re: Editorial: Mandatory Memory Cards for Switch Retail Games is a Messy Solution
@somecallmetony I have. But Nintendo is enabling them make such thing and even the article states that the money ends up in Nintendo's pocket.
Re: Final Fantasy XV Director Insists His Team Is "Looking Into" Switch
I think it will be a lot easier to bring Final Fantasy VII Remake to the Switch than Final Fantasy XV due its complicated Luminous Engine.
But, SquEnix, keep one thing in mind: bring your "Final Fantasies" for the Switch and I'll buy 'em all.
Re: Editorial: Mandatory Memory Cards for Switch Retail Games is a Messy Solution
Owning a Memory Card for retail games should be entirely optional.
I call this BS from Nintendo, really.
Re: Sonic Forces Gets North American Release Date and a Snazzy Pre-Order Bonus Edition

Re: Gear.Club Unlimited Power Slides Onto Switch in December
The gameplay feels cheap... if the reviews are 7+ and if the price tag isn't more than 20$ for the retail copy I may think about it getting it.

Re: Switch Sales Fall Dramatically In Japan, But Splatoon 2 Passes The One Million Marker
@GrailUK Too bad you edited/deleted your 'silly words' reply. I LOLd, dude.

I get why producing Switches are complicated (Apple) but what about those other 2? What's the excuse? I don't know, really.
