@NCChris thanks bud, yeah the story and format seem very appealing to me. I don't expect to fully engage with story just with that recap on Central Fiction. I'll found a way to play those before.
It'll give me time to finish the ridiculous amount of game that are coming out and I'm getting. As long as it's a guaranteed quality product I'm happy.
There is no basis on this whatsoever. Oh so Microsoft is getting along with Nintendo and Platinum games is under Nintendo now. Yeah sure Microsoft will give away that project with nothing to gain whatsoever. This is not going to happen. (I know it's a rumour I'm just presenting my case)
@AlternateButtons people have to understand, if the game isn't developed by Nintendo it is not their fault. If a game is developed by a local Japanese studio and they decide not to localize it to other regions it is their decision alone.
@Anti-Matter you must be trolling at this point right? This is just a facade or an act right? There is no way you are still acting and saying things like that... Right?
@misterMike why do you hold scores so highly. Why do you hold the switch accountable for what many third party companies are producing. At the end of the day scoring a game, movie or whatever is subjective and should not be the only factor that determines your enjoyment. The switch has amazing games, the critically acclaimed ones, and the ones you enjoy because of who you are. Just like every other console out there.
@Haywired you said amiibo slots and never mentioned smash. Also to assume that smash is the only way to get amiibos for certain characters is so naive to say the least. Amiibos print money, anytime they see an opportunity to launch a new game with a new amiibo they'll do it.
@Heavyarms55 I believe the point of digital foundry is not to complain but to just point out how things really work. The title even "DF loves switch". Of course there are things so minor that don't bother many when actually playing the game including me, but if you watch DF's videos you can see the vast amount of experience and knowledge these guys have over every little thing regarding computers rendering graphics. They're here to show us everything under the hood, you can take it however you want.
@Charlie_Girl actually those stages you mentioned as "mistakes" are great and should mostly be used in 8 players smash. Pretty fun and chaotic. Sometimes you find yourself in 4 1v1s across the maps and start bumping into each other which has a very different feeling than usual. My opinion tho.
@premko1 That is probably one of the biggest reasons they are not adding much. The current UI is incredibly snappy and responsive, there's gotta be ways around it though, only the future will tell.
To be fair, when versioning, an increase to the first number doesn't mean features are being added. When you increase the first number it means that you have changed enough so that your new system is not backwards compatible with anything from your previous one, meaning there was something done in the background that makes the leap from 6.2.0 to 7.0.0 significant in those terms.
However, we are already at version 7 and we still haven't had any major changes to the UI at all, whats with the obsession of just adding icons, those are just images you are dropping. At least give us themes, we've had black and white for almost two years now.
@CharlieSmile this isn't specific to Splatoon, they're just using a client that can perform DoS attacks. You just need their IP address for that, something that can be easily done in a peer to peer connection.
Finally, I remember I asked them on twitter about the cross party support last year on October and they said it was planned for September 2018, it took a bit longer but it is coming nonetheless.
@SwitchForce when did I whine? I clearly said it's hard for ME, which may suggest a different case scenario from you. Should've thought your response through, I said nothing bad about it.
Western localizaron pls. It's really hard for me to import it from Japan. Hopefully the high demand shows them the opportunity they have realeasing it everywhere else.
@Heavyarms55 I believe one of the strongest motivations for developers to go with that route is because of how easy it is to work with them compared to other art styles. Both for the artist and the developer. Personally speaking, whenever I practice game development either on unity or UE4 the sprite tools for frame animations, hitboxes, and the overall process is far easier to make, and I can always ask my artist friends to quickly doodle some sprites to work with since they don't take much time. That being said however, some games such as octopath traveler, owlboy, and the list goes on, show the potential of the art style to really shine with modern tools and incredibly created people. But when it comes to indie games with such small teams and how popular it has become, it really is the safest bet to go with.
Man, it's time is slowly coming to an end. I have so many good memories with this handheld from the very beginning of it's announcement. Cheers to you old friend, you had a good run.
Please lord let them make a monthly humble bundle with nintendo games that would make me so happy. Imagine a monthly dose of indies for the switch for ~10 bucks.
@Grumblevolcano I would say distance them rather than shutting down. The Wii shop channel was shut down recently after all these years, the eShop on the 3DS and WiiU are still relevant sources of income.
Sometimes copying what already works is the best course of action. Don't try to reinvent the wheel, especially since your design is worse than the original.
