they finally did all the remakes for the 3ds when the 3ds is on it's way out. guess we can expect switch remakes in a couple of years? or maybe they'll do them all in one BIG BANG for the switch.
wasn't there another gaijin that was a close friend of the nintendo higher ups? i forgot his name. i saw it on that mini-docu about starfox, rare, and dinosaur planet. guess he wasn't a lead designer tho'.
jeepers. i fully expect to be splatted by over half a million snipers then - and splat them back! also, that one guy who seems to be the arch-nemesis of bucketeers like myself. uses the paintbrush.
odd seeing olney in text form. i thought he stayed only in the swanky heights of video, and didn't soil his toes in the murky hood of nlife's text peasantry.
nintendo never win the press-con battles, but they often win the show itself. it's just how they roll. like last year with sony showing off all their new hardware, but nintendo wins on the show floor with hands-on breath of the wild - if memory serves me.
asking the obvious again: why not for the switch? it's a great appetite-whetter for prime4. as a cheapskate, i'd also say it maybe ought to have come free for; offer a discount for; or be discounted with, a metroid prime 4 pre-order.
@FTL i was trying to say that on a point-to-point display, the difference between 720p and 1080p would be the same whether the resolution is 1080p or uhd. with postprocessing, the difference is multiplied. i use a pc monitor since i play games in between doing work so to me, the difference is minimal.
@FTL do you have post-processing activated on your tv? otherwise, the difference between 720p and 1080p would be exactly the same whether displayed on 1080p or uhd when taken pixel for pixel.
i probably wouldn't even notice, but i'll take it. it might get those digitalfoundry guys all giddy. what would really benefit from a rez boost is the hopeful metroid prime trilogy for switch bundle you get for pre-ordering prime 4.
@DEZn00ts i dunno about winning this generation since generations are pretty blurred now. i would consider the wii u more of a continuation of the wii gen. then there's the ps4 pro and the xbox one x. the switch itself will likely get a hardware upgrade the likes of the new 3ds to the old 3ds.
as for portables, yes, ios and android devices are on that list. unlike the switch, those devices get refreshed and more powerful every year. the switch is a console for today. it doesn't look very far forward in terms of tech since that's nintendo's modus operandi. it isn't a powerhouse because nintendo designed it not to be. ea calling it a powerhouse is like a band saying every town they visit for their concert is the best one they've ever been to.
@Minotaurgamer portables, no matter how powerful in relation to each other, are far more similar to each other when compared to a home console. then there's what the switch would've been if they went with the less power-hungry pascal.
they're neighbors so maybe something got spilled over coffeee. or maybe it's jsut an obvious thing for nintendo to do that ms just assumed it to be true.
heh. chum. a fish reference. belongs in splatoon. it's so ironic that a game that focuses, amplifies, and embodies the spirit of racing FUN, that is mario kart, can be the source of so much rage, frustration & anger at the same time.
meh. no big. capcom didn't put the latest street fighter on switch, they put in the old one. activision can do the same. maybe revive the old bungie ip's like myth, marathon, and oni.
@MarcelRguez i just thought of the origin of the mask, too. it might be the ol' mask of loki from the comics and movies. where whoever wears it says ssssomebody stop me!
@MarcelRguez that would be interesting. i have no idea how we two-armed folk can control the six-armed guy but the extra arms might be automated like barq is supposed to be.
it's more likely something/one that harkens to an eastern deity. like in asura's wrath when you go super saiyan rage and grow extra arms. or maybe it's goro, i dunno.
@ThomasBW84 dunno about easier but it's more intense because of the immersion. another game that ought to make it to switch that's somewhat similar but different enough to be distinct is aaero.
