@FullbringIchigo there shouldn't be any censorship, the rating boards are in charge of segmenting a game to a different audience based on it's content. Anyone should be allowed to enjoy the content that he or she prefers without blocking it.
Its file size has been public for some weeks now. It's so small that I decided to go for digital to play it as soon as it launches and use the voucher program. The box art didn't do much for me honestly.
@BensonUii I honestly feel that people who only get physical media are terrified of writing any amount of data on their local storage. Maybe there's a phobia for that. It's a very small indie game the patch won't take more than 50 MB. I get the argument about always having everything physically for future proofing but c'mon, it's a bit too much.
@TheLightningYu You are basing your reasoning that the switch cannot handle a background service with pure speculation. Let me put it simply because you ignored my comment about the original xbox. The switch is capable of running a voice chat service in the background without affecting the gameplay, the original xbox could do it, the switch is more than capable. Nintendo is just bad with online infrastructure, and some choices that they make regarding it are just weird. Discord will never be put as a third party service that handles voice chat for the switch for the same reason that Apple still won't switch its lighting port to the USB standard. The fact remains that they still would've been able to implement it themselves, but the Japanese market made them choose to do it via the smartphone instead. You can't even send messages to your friends on the switch, it clearly wasn't thought out well at all.
@TheLightningYu I said they should, but it's impossible since consoles are closed systems for various reasons (security, optimization, it's proprietary so they don't have to pay any extra fees to third parties). But it seems to me that you think the switch is not capable of doing so and that's the reason they tell us to use their phones to do voice chat. That's not true, the switch IS capable of doing voice chat through the console that's why Vivox released an SDK to implement voice chat on your switch games with cross play and everything. The service doesn't run on the switch itself it runs on Vivox servers, the exact same would happen with Discord as a third party to handle voice chat. The fact that they didn't plan this from the beginning it's not an excuse since they were managing resources, it's a straight up design flaw that should not be allowed in 2019. The original Xbox was able to do voice chat with Xbox live and it's a better implementation that what the switch currently has. That was back on the early 2000's.
It's 2019, you don't have to provide every service you need Nintendo. Externalize all the voice chat service to Discord and have it as a background service. You would instantly have the best online infrastructure on consoles.
@YANDMAN sorry for the misunderstanding. What I meant was that you structured your sentence as if the game was objectively bad and poor reviewed, when it's not true. Didn't say it's wrong to dislike it.
I've played tetris since I have memory but I've only gotten 1st twice. I'm used to old tetris without t spinning and perfect clears mechanics but learning those made me love it even more.
@Reigestugatensho I thought about that as well but then I realized that you get a milestone for finishing classic mode with all characters without counting piranha plant. It's the korok seeds deal all over again lol.
@Danjel They answer that question in the comments on youtube, they won't let you import your on creations from a computer you can only use the included graphics. The "create your own" part I'll quote them directly:
"The game will ship with a Sprite editor for making your own 2D assets and you can generate some fantastic 3D images (we've got a fully rendered pool table!) using just shapes in game"
If it doesn't have a strap to attach it to your head it won't be able to work with other games that well. How uncomfortable it would be to having to hold it close to you all the time while you play with the joycons a couple of inches away from your face.
