@Immovablegamer6669 For me, the reason I want a Switch 2 is that even Nintendo's 1st party games are suffering due to the outdated mobile hardware. I would love to play those 1st party games at least in 1080p at 60fps (that isn't asking for much in 2023).
My favorite video game anime adaptation for sure. The art style keeping true to the game, the music and the script. Shame they don't make them like they used too.
I love those click bait statements. Of course sales are going to increase month on month due to Black Friday. What was the increase from last year same period and in units sold?
@SwitchForce I don't expect them to run the game from high spec PCs with RTX GPUs etc, just 1080p at 60fps. That could have easily been achieved with moderate PC specs but they skimped out on that side.
Would have been nice if a Nintendo site did an indepth article on this. I'm sure the cloud streaming people would use cost etc as an excuse. I had to queue up sometimes to play The Forgotten City (just 1 in queue though) - but it was crazy for a game 1 year old to be queuing.
The biggest issue is the quality of the cloud streaming service on the Switch. Played The Forgotten City and the visuals were blurry, low res textures and slow loading times. It was almost like the host PC was running a GTX 750Ti. The game with enough effect could have run better on the Switch than this rubbish Cloud version - and it was a shame as the game itself was good.
I knew there was more to PlatinumGames using a different voice actor. $4000USD is an insult (and I'm assuming this is pre-tax). She is the lead and a very good VA. I'm with her on this one. If everyone keeps undercutting / taking an unfair wage, then don't blame anyone when you can't afford basic living.
I'm a contractor and the 1st rule is you don't rock the boat. You have least rights than a perm and it's very easy to let you go. I'm sure there is more to this story and even if there isn't, Nintendo can let someone go / give notice, as long as they don't breach the terms of the contract.
I always take any news with a large pinch of salt. ATM I can buy a Switch (any model) now, all in stock, for next day shipping in the UK. Same with the XBSX. Meanwhile, the PS5 are still sold out.
Regarding the Xbox beating PS5, the form factor of the Xbox, both series X and more so, series S, suits the cramp living spaces of your typical Japanese house.
Still playing Dragon Quest XI. Over a 100 hours into it. My first DQ and enjoying it - especially on how well they ported it to the Switch without sacrificing too much.
Playing Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition - got it on last weeks sale. Wow - I'm impressed technically with what they were able to do with the Switch. Puts a lot of 1st party games to shame, with what they were able to do.

Re: Video: Does The Switch Actually Feel 'Old' Yet?
2 gens behind. 1st party games struggling to reach 30fps sub HD - Nintendo are being held back by their own HW.

Re: Platinum Teases Brand New Wonderful 101: Remastered DLC Update
@MontyCircus which is why I bought this recently on sale on Steam for my GTX1070.
Re: Video: A Closer Look At The Aya Neo Air, A Powerful Alternative To The Switch
Switch's shortcomings have made me start using Steam and my GTX1070 for any non-exclusive Switch games. Sick of 30fps and low res games.
Re: Deals: Buy A Nintendo Switch OLED Console And Get A Free Game (UK)
Well, I'm guessing the Switch 2 will be coming out when Tears of Kingdom is released.
Also, my friends seem to buy the cheaper non-OLED model for their kids, so maybe the OLED model isn't selling as well as the cheaper original.

@steventonysmith I'm not sure if you're trolling?
Re: Review: Fall Guys - The World’s Most Chaotic Game Show Lands On Switch, Now F2P
Hope there is a 30fps only mode for cross play, otherwise it's a huge disadvantage for us peasants.
Re: Gallery: Square Enix Shares Brand New Screenshots Of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion
I thought it was Switch footage on Nintendo's YT channel. If it was footage on the more powerful platforms, then the graphics are a bit of a let down.

Re: New N64 Emulator Plugin Adds Ray Tracing, Widescreen, 60FPS (And More) To Classics Like Zelda & Paper Mario
For emulators and what it brings to those old games, I actually like it. Now you only need to buy a £2000 GPU card

I'm hoping there is a legitimate way to play those games on the Mini 1 and vice versa.
