@ChromaticDracula Super Nintendo Switch

Finally, a nice paint job for a Switch that goes beyond the standard gray & gold decals or the stock colors of Mario & Pikachu (which also look cool btw). Love the gradients & unique look of the artwork. Totally makes sense for this game and hope they do it more in the future!

@C-Olimar yes, have considered it and watched some videos online. To your point, it's definitely not ideal and I have more or less just been playing for of my Xbox to avoid the issue.

It's a pain when people want to do multiplayer on the Switch and I forget which of the 4 joy cons has the issue only to find out it's two of them lol. Might make some adjustments in the future, hopefully Nintendo has to just take care of this for free as the past fixes are typically done within a week.

Little bit scummy when their Joy Con products are poorly designed and have drift. But from a broader perspective, it's not a bad price for the all inclusive aspect of it. I'm biased because of the joy con issue. I've spent close to $60 in Joy con repairs which is a pain. For the same two sets for years. And I have drift again...some were free some were charged.

Elden Ring hands down. I miss my Switch.

@TheMelodiusRose I didn't say all 3rd party games look bad on the Switch, I own a lot of good looking games on the console, I've had it since launch day & love my Switch. I also enjoy other great consoles, think Alex did a video on why they like their Series X a while back. Worth a watch & has my favorite line from NLife, "Hello lovely people.." for starters! For Witcher 3 or DOOM Eternal, it certainly looks much better 60FPS running in 4K and with ray tracing for the latter. So would say yes, in instances like that where performance is better on another console then it should be rated as such, like in this review.

I wish more of the above points in the review were given to a lot more 3rd party games on Switch that are accessible on other consoles. Because games like Fortnite or Rocket League look exceptionally better on XSX or PS5, even Xbone and PS4. The recent DOOM games, Witcher 3, Crysis and a lot more games look absolutely terrible on Switch when you actually compare it with other consoles, let's be honest with ourselves like this review is. I'm all for having more games on Switch as I own close to 150, but definitely we need to be subtracting a few points from a lot of games because the performance/ graphics are just not all there for most ports. Nintendo's 1st party games all look absolutely stellar though and a lot of beautiful games absolutely exist on the Switch and deserve all the praise they receive.

I will die on this island

I got Captain Falcon to Smash Elite with this N64 controller. Can recommend it for those that played with this as a kid / adult back when this was more popular on the original Smash. Not sure what younger people think of it!

@CANOEberry yeah Paul Tassi is a joke when it comes to predictions. Lots of clickbait. Talented writer though.

Looking forward to picking this up! Just finished the "Ask Iwata" book last month & had a good time with it.

@quinnyboy58 yeah he did plenty, huge figure in the industry. Left a comment right above highlighting a few things. Plus he's one of the most diverse figures to ever head a Nintendo division for a very traditionally Japanese company. Also helped bridge some Nintendo and Xbox collaboration with Phil Spencer

@NinChocolate Reggie marketed a dual screen touch screen device and motion control console & grew Nintendo's base by tens of millions, overcame the failure of the Wii U and helped launch the Switch to be the comeback kid & most successful home console the company has ever had. None of those exactly sound easy.

I hope they rerelease a small Gameboy device that can play all of their Retro Console libraries & sell it for $99 bucks. I'd buy that up right away. Having the option to actually buy and own those titles would be a massive money maker. I have a Switch Lite too but it isn't really portable unless I carry a bag with me too.

Kate Gray, let us know how you like the XSX and Elden Ring!

New games are coming fast, uhh huh, and they're all on Gamepass. C'mon! https://youtu.be/zuHndXSDXWc

Had that pop in my head when I read this sale was happening. Love having both a Switch and XSX.

Totally fine to charge a little bit more for localization to help them cover their costs for a niche title

Looking good

It's gonna be a 16 bit version of the game powered with the SNES Star Fox engine fpr visuals right?

@JJtheTexan I'll buy the physical copy, hopefully they don't sell it through Kickstarter like the nightmare launch of Wonderful 101 Remastered

I've got a photo here, thought it would be a lot bigger! The neighborhood itself is rather quiet, it's near a big river and you can bike to some nearby Torii gates.

@iLikeUrAttitude I haven't had a problem with my Hori accessories, they're pretty solid and have a good reputation

That's a shame, these two were great. I remember being in the Smash Ultimate episode they had at Comic Con 2018. Got beat early on but have since grinded my way to Elite Smash after that defeat. They were super nice in person & Bill Trinen was there too. Interested to see what they do next at Nintendo or elsewhere.

@FRED_KID not sure to be honest man, it's just a derogatory term for Native Americans and other indigenous groups so that's why I say it's outdated. I mean there's even an episode of Seinfeld about it from like 1993-94 or something so it's been an issue for a long time. I just really enjoy the writing and stories on NintendoLife so wish they'd come up with something. Koopalings? Bad Bowsers? I'm not creative enough, reseller is pretty close to what they're saying for "scalper"

Please stop using the word "scalpers" Nintendo Life 😭😭 even though I don't like resellers, that term is outdated

@sanderev lol that's the way I said it the first time but at least we resolved it! I'll keep the launch model I have because it can still be modded in the future unlike newer models, so I'm sure it will have more value overtime

Game looks pretty lifeless compared to other Nintendo titles from even 2017. I'll get the game though since their gameplay mechanics are pretty addiciting. Hope they add voice acting someday instead of being cheap about it

@sanderev lol I don't even know what you're talking about anymore. Handheld it's OLED & works with existing joycons. Docked offers zero benefit to the OLED screen the system comes with. I own an existing Switch, don't need another dock and don't need more joycons, hope that makes sense

@sanderev same comment, would play it on my couch with my existing joycons and benefit from the OLED screen. Docked it doesn't provide any enhancement to m existing Switch.

@johnvboy I would slap my joycons on that bad boy and play on my couch. The model loses it's OLED benefit the moment it's docked anyway, if that makes sense

Now for just the screen itself to be offered for $189... Please???

Yes it should expand faster, throw as many games as you can on it as fast as you can on it. Then add more when you can.

I feel it's more of an 8 with hype adding a +1 to this. Absolutely smashing job for the devs on this one!

It was a good run while it lasted! Got 6 of the fighters to Elite Smash, so I think I'm about done at pushing my thumbs to the limits. Will still drop in for tourneys and other events. Absolutely love this game. I use the music player pretty often actually hehe

@whitemage couldn't agree more!

@Anti-Matter hahah

It would be great if you could get better RPG elements into each and every Pokemon, so regardless of the form it could be an absolute beefcake!!

@Serialsid time will tell! Let's just enjoy the games for now, they'll both get my money. Regarding Gamepass even at 20 million subscribers at $15 a month, that's $300 million a month & many games are timed so they can sell normally as well. I wish Xbox had more physical games, I buy a bunch for the Switch. I also preordered Halo Infinite just for the steelbox & plan to get Elden Ring physical so they're still getting money both ways.

@serialsid an example of a BC making an impact (promise not to
@ you annoyingly after this one!)

@Serialsid lets agree to disagree on whether it pushes people forward. Game developers today were, and are, clearly influenced by the past. If we can change licensing rights & move towards GamePass as a business model, this means more devs benefit and we get more games. Plus Xbox has a ton of exclusives & games in development so not worried there. Backlog on PS5 will be massive when I get one 😂😂

Better hardware for the SSD, yes, the rest of the kit is almost exactly identical, with the XSX having more raw power. Excited to see how Sony responds with their version of GamePass. Having accessibility to your purchases in 2022 across ecosystems seems like the right way to head so you can play PS5 games on a PS6 or whatever the successor becomes. You could stream XSX games on an Xbox One from 2014, which in my view, means that gamer can play future games without the hardware kit. That's pretty groundbreaking for a console manufacturer (obvs on PC already by default) & means game studios can get more revenue from an existing player base.

Separately, have you tried to stream GamePass on PS5s browser? I imagine you can get the best of both worlds.

@Serialsid well if you wanna play new games, Gamepass has a ton if them. I for one take advantage of the BC because I have games from 2001 and threw out my OG Xbox once I got this bad boy (disc drive was broken, 360 red ringed) and all my purchases from 2007s Xbox live arcade are still there. FPS Boost to 120 FPS and dynamic 4K scaling are also nice. You can even play a lot of those games on xCloud which is included in Gamepass Ultimate. I mean PS5 clearly won the vote, so no arguing there. I saw the video by their tech guy in why the SSD is so fast, etc. I guess if there was an option for best business model for consumers I'd have more points to argue. I plan on getting a Sony console again once it's smaller, for now though, my XSX and Switch are plenty. I can store about 70 games on my console, 13 are XSX, 5 XBO enhanced and the rest fall into all categories. Anyway, wouldn't underestimate the power of the BC, tons of gems we likely missed, couldn't afford or just didn't have access to back then are available now. As. Nintendo fan, I am constantly looking for ways to play their back catalogue legally (GBA, N64,SNES) and I think most gamerd would agree it's only a positive

I told someone here that their market research teams know their audience well. Massive numbers!

@Serialsid compared to nearly all Xbox One titles, 630+ 360 titles and 69+ Xbox titles, I think PS is clearly not a better piece of hardware for backwards compatibility. Xbox even adds FPS boost to increase framerates & increases fidelity to 1080p or 4K. For the memory, that's 4:58 minutes longer than it takes to snap it in 2 seconds. The benefits of the storage speed could be argued as negligible as it varys on a per game basis & they're both lightning fast for load times. You do get less base storage for the same price on PS5. The size of the console is also a big reason I didn't get it for my entertainment setup, waiting for them to release a PS5 Slim before I pick one up. To the point about a stronger xbox one x, Microsoft has a totally different approach with their ecosystem vs devices, so it means more players online & more accessible games regardless of budget to buy a new console or stream through your old one.

Eh PS5 best hardware? That thing is massive & you have to take it apart to add storage, plus the console has terribke backwards compatibility compared to the XSX. Not trying to be a fanboy for Xbox here but think it's kinda crazy. The Steam Deck on the other hand.. ooo

@Silly_G lol yeah, she only has a net worth over $225 million from her work outside of film with The Honest Company. I wish I could quietly settle down with that 😭😭

As someone that spent a lot of time at Disney and Universal parks, I can say the Universal rides were always subpar & broke down with people on the ride (Harry Potter ride especially, I was on it and I knee two separate coworkers that had the same experience). Let's hope they can fix those issues & not be too cheap about people's safety. It's not a virtual world anymore!

Wish they didn't patch it

@RupeeClock no version on Xbox is breaking my heart
