Hey, and I'm hoping Nintendo life does a poll on this, but does anyone else lose progress on game hours between Switches? So I have an OG Switch and a Lite but if I start an old game with say 30 hours on the OG and boot it up on my Lite, it sometimes doesn't recognize the 30 hours (save data is fine so progression isn't affected), in the worst instances it will completely reset the total hours played. Then I switch back to the OG Switch, those hours now reflect the hours the Switch Lite logged. So in some cases back down to 1-3 hours played. I reported it to Nintendo years ago but it never resolved so I don't even use cloud saves & boot old games on it like LoZ BOTW or SSBU. I just use a few retro or indie games where hoir count doesn't matter. Anyone else bothered by this or have the issue? Comment or heart this, interested to know!! Especially if you can resolve it
Want to make Capcom pay for a feature only 5% of users will take advantage of? Lol. But really, would be a nice to have mte than a must have. I would never use it, but they're a big company with a big franchise and a newfound PC user base from World that would love it!
@Crockin play as the founder of New Donk City. Donkey Kong. Beat em up style, 3D platformer. Clean up crime & manage the city to build something truly great for DK's heart throb Pauline
So looking forward to this game. Not sure which console to grab it on as I've wanted a solid pokemon like experience not on a Nintendo console given they (the genre) are rare to find on other consoles
I just picked up a ton of Castlevania games on the MSFT store on my Xbox after leaving a comment here on NLife earlier in the week regarding Symphony of the Night 😆 think once the GBA collection goes on sale I'll own everyone across my Switch & Xbox
Pleasantly surprised to find Xbox has a ton of good Castlevania games on it, including SOTN so just updated my wishlist on the MS store the past 24 hours to pick all those bad boys up on sale. Although did purchase SOTN there to be safe
Please be the Master Chief with Arbiter as an echo fighter. Part of the level can get Glassed by a Covenant ship. Random enemy drop pods as PvE enemies. New item pick ups.
@NinjaGuy69 yeah I agree with you on their cash grab games. To be fair, their market research teams are pretty fire & they do massive numbers on games I would think people aren't that interested in (New Super Mario Bros U, Pikmin 3 for example). Their portfolio is pretty solid though, good mix of new games and rereleasing some pieces of silver and bronze here and there
Have had the special edition preordered since day one. Don't agree with the price for the base edition ultimately but open to being pleasantly surprised. Massive Metroid fan and can't wait to see what the Big N has cooked up for us until Prime 4!!!
True blacks. Brigjt screen. Do I buy a €350 7 inch OLED screen OR 55 inch OLED for €750 😭😭😭😭 it would make.my existing Switch(es) that much better on the TV 300 days of the year...but those train rides & 2 flights a year would be lacking tho...gah!... I am in a pickle!!
I want somebody to give Suda a big budget & some devs to support his big ideas with great performance and high quality graphics. Love the guy, his humor, writing style and gameplay for the most part but always feel his studio is held back big time in the tech dept. In any case, answer is yes, hope Nintendo can just throw him a fat wad of cash and 80 devs to help fulfill his dreams of making this game
@120frames-please oh yeah, love the Series X! Got it back in March and it's honestly a bit jarring switching back yo some Switch games, especially since GamePass has so many good indie titles & they run & load like a dream
Great news! Toby Fox os a genius and really happy he has been taking his time to put this out. Heard he suffered a lot from all the fandom & stardom after Undertale and it understandably stressed him out. Great guy!
@RiasGremory just because it sold quite well doesn't mean it can't hit the bargain bin. It can also be it didn't sell quite well but generated some type of a profit which means they can make a sequel. OR , amongst many other things, it sold more than the target they set (say 100k) but there are 100k on the market that didn't sell physically so price had to be reduced to increase the numbers sold at a smaller profit. So no, my comment isn't invalid lol. How many units did it sell? 42000? Does "quite well" mean for the publisher with 65k copies or in comparison to the broader market where some games sell 10 million+ copies?
Man that's kid's stuff. I was that dork walking around for an hour plus with an OG Xbox in a big ass backpack with Ethernet cords in the side pocket and a lan dock for system link play and 2-4 controllers crammed everywhere for Halo LAN parties. And I had to walk up hill (literally) both ways.
Definitely picking this game up, a highlight from E3 for me personally! The performance issues can likely be solved via a patch. Can't wait to pick this bad boy up!
Props to your boi Fraser Gilbert on Pire Xbox that post's the links to the exact minute events start (or in thise case musical instruments). Cool article but a bit too much scrolling to the somg for my neanderthal brain & short attention span. Agree with this list nonetheless!!
Kind of a weird money grab charging for this. I prefer DLC to be some type of gameplay expansion or at the very least, have the abilitu to grind for a unique item
This was honestly a huge highlight from Gamescom. Can't wait to play as Blade! I have him as a Mii Fighter if you ever see him on Super Smash Bros Ultimate 🤣
@The-Chosen-one try the demo out first if you get a chance! Would say it is a bit grindier than Octopath so if you're not a fan of the demo, save that money for the inevitable Octopath Traveler sequel
Changes to keep the game up: make it a robot, change the outfit color, change the grappling beam to silver grappling hook, change color scheme in general, work for Nintendo. Simple XD this super sucks for that team
@EliteXeos I didn't say it was. We don't need to defend gamefreak is my point. They're capable of much more, they're not an indie dev. Looking at their audience they don't need cutting edge graphics but it sure as hell would be nice! I am buying there stuff anyway
