Re: Mini Review: Arcade Archives 2 TOKYO WARS (Switch 2) - Another Polished But Wafer Thin Hamster Port

Reviews like this make it apparent who grew up with and enjoyed the 90's arcade era and who didn't. Seems like some people simply don't understand the appeal and nature of classic arcade games. They were never meant to be games for you to sit down and play for hours on end, the appeal was always how quickly you could start playing them and how fun they were for a quick gaming session. The focus with most 90's arcade games was offering a variety of different experiences, like driving a tank, shooting guns, racing vehicles, playing sports, ect.

Re: Resident Evil Requiem Pre-Orders Live, Switch 2 Pro Controller And Amiibo Confirmed

@PikaPhantom That's basically my thoughts and disappointment as well. Couldn't really care less about the game collection, I already got those games on PS5, but the controller is definitely the biggest disappointment for me, I was expecting something so much more appealing for a special edition, and something Nintendo related as well, like a Donkey Kong edition or something. And yeah, the lack of any color variety is a bit odd coming from all the variety we had on the first Switch.

Re: Dynasty Warriors: Origins Will Run At A "Fixed" 30fps On Switch 2

@Fighting_Game_Loser I could never understand this mentality because even unstable higher frame rates look better to me in action. If the stable frame rate means having it low enough to where it looks rough and blurry, what's the point? People talk about screen tearing but 30fps feels like constant screen tearing.

Re: Review: Hades 2 - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - A Bewitching Sequel That's A Spell Off Perfect

I actually like this more than Hollow Knight, it's more my style and this feels a lot more accessible. I like how this is more rogue-like as well, makes each death feel like a new opportunity to try something different, while deaths in Hollow Knight can just feel frustrating, only offering an opportunity to learn from your mistakes. I really enjoyed the original Hades so it doesn't surprise me to find this one enjoyable as well. Glad I waited until the Switch 2 release to buy this.

Re: Aspyr Brings Deus Ex Remastered To Switch Next February

@cedarhyped There's always a lot more people who own old last-gen hardware vs current gen and new hardware, but that doesn't mean it's smart to keep releasing everything for old hardware and dismiss the desire for technological advancement.

Like yes they sold a bunch of old Switch's, but how many of those people who bought one are still actively interested in buying new release games for it vs the Switch 2 audience? The latest audience might technically be lower in number, but it represents just about everyone actively interested in buying new games right now.

Like you really think the 150 million Switch 1 owners are going to suddenly and collectively decide they all want a Deus Ex remaster that will probably struggle to justify it's remastering on their ancient hardware?
