@JasmineDragon I've said the same thing. Gotta respect the hustle. Won't buy it myself but I do buy emulation devices sometimes, who knows, might actually make a few video games fans out of this that buy a proper console down the road. Not everyone has the knowledge of cheap emulators like us nerds here on Nintendo life!
I have PTSD after the Wonderful 101 campaign..it was €40 Plus shipping plus VAT and other tariffs and rather than receive the copies pre-retail launch had a massive delay and saw the game go on sale in stores for €30 by the time i finally got it from Kickstarter. Anyway, this game looks cool. Digital wishlist
@twztid13 in the same boat as you. Game pass is a life saver! $25 for this game on Switch or $1 for 3 months of Gamepass with this and 100+ other exclusive next gen titles, indie games (also on switch) and new releases. No brainer for the gamepass option, then I can decide if it deserves a purchase & where I want to play it after spending some initial time with the title
@Kavenoff if you didn't back it up and lost the cartridge, then it can't be redownloaded again. So we are both right! I was thinking of another scenario and you were thinking of another scenario. So bam. False and right at the same time
What would you do if I told you your physical games are just digital games downloaded to a cartridge or CD that can't be redownloaded again. That all video games on modern consoles are in fact, digital.
Switch produces more physical copies of it's games than both Sony & MSFT, so I feel these lists are kind of skewed if trying to communicate the best selling titles overall. I get this is for physical copies only but can be misleading as well. Absolutely fantastic achievement for Nintendo! I wish Xbox had more physical copies of their indie games (Death's Door especially) because I would gobble those up.
I want to really like Arceus.. please Pokemon company don't launch a POS. I hope they release a game in the future aimed more towards adults that played these games as kids. The franchise is big enough to allow space for something a little more mature and difficult.
Honestly, they could add an USBC to HDMI port on the bottom or add the ability to cast to a TV and they'd be doing numbers. I'm surprised they dont move to a Nintendo Stick or Nintendo App for TVs that allow you to save some games locally or do some cloud gaming, their library is perfect for that given graphics fidelity isn't super high and they wouldn't stream at 4K. You could sync any type of controller with that set up e.g. joycon, pro controller
Tbh I hope the Series S takes off. GamePass has Lumines, Katamari Damacy, Undertale, Dragon Quest XI, multiple Final Fantasy games, the Yakuza series, Hadee, Hollow Knight, a ton of indies, Resident Evil, cloud gaming and a bunch of Western games people can dabble and try out. It's a great companion to the Switch and super tiny. Doesn't look like it'll hit huge numbers but I hope it does. Anyway, as you were!
@Maximumbeans , yeah that makes sense. It was a good thing the story and gameplay were solid but felt a few more finishing touches on audio quality and graphics would've made it that much better
@TheFrenchiestFry this would be great. With a microsd card and eShop. You can kind of get this with emulators like the Pocket Go which is available now for like $40 and comes with the ability to play original Gameboy to Advanced titles, SNES, NES, wish it was easy to access and not locked behind ROMs
I wish the graphics were even better, I loved the game in my 70+ hours with it but really felt like the graphics were lacking for 2019 compared to other major Nintendo releases.
Really wish there was a better word than "scalpers". What is this 1700s North America? 😂 I get the slang but cmon, we can do something better like "scum lords" or "candy snatchers"
DQ XI is a great RPG to pick up and play over time. They always remind you of events and where you are in the story & the overall game plays like a big season of an anime, very fun!
@WallyWest I am pretty sure that guy did see a therapist and was diagnosed with it. I genuinely feel a bit sick watching the fatalities at their current state. PTSD isn't very hard to get, you still have the choice to play it, I'm just saying I can't really handle it. Like that show Invincible on Amazon Prime? I am still disturbed by that first episode where all those heroes get totally murked. If you showed the stuff we see to people 100 years ago, we would be totally desensitized to intense violence in comparison. Ehh but I still like fighting games & other games with gore, MK11 just goes way ott for me
Yeah this game will look bad but at least it should have some good writing. Maybe will pick it up physical on sale or used so I can sell it if I dislike it, did that for the spinoff Travis Strikes again
This game is honestly too brutal for me to play anymore, which is ironic because I love Doom Eternal and the Resident Evil Remakes. I read how the staff had PTSD after researching the gore for this version of MK 11 (probably have done it for others)
@Gamecuber I said "feels like". I have some great games: Samus Returns, Metroid, Ocarina of Time, Majoras Mask, 5 OG Zelda games, Pokemon Moon, Pokemon Red, Devilish Brain Training & Monster Hunter Ultimate. I really wanted to get a bunch of physical titles but I think Nintendo did a poor job communicating during their investor meetings always saying "we will support the 3DS for the foreseeable future as an entry point for younger gamers blah blah". If I knew tzey would stop producing titles like DK Country 3D or Star Fox 3D, I would've been more hesitant getting the system. In this case regarding cheaper prices for an older consoles games, getting 3DS games physically is either the same price or more expensive, digital sales are pretty good though. I hope they lift the region lock (probably not) on the systems as I'd love to pick up some extra titles in Europe & Japan. It's a great system and I just wish Nintendo gave it more support instead of leaving it on life support
Man they can keep producing for the 3DS, maybe some smaller tier games or remakes of older 2D titles. I just got my New 3DS in 2017 so it feels like I threw my money at a loser system even though it had a ton of great games on it. Here's hoping those games transfer to their new handheld
Eh one of the rants I am not really into, kind of got annoying after the 4th paragraph before I couldn't handle any more negativity for a Friday. Still love your writing style & nearly all other articles you produce!!! Have a good weekend all
@SorridoSnake thank you! Now I feel like a dumb dumb. I was scanning for a numerical figure, just found it at the end of a paragraph, good looking out, thank you!!
I can't believe Nintendo almost had me drop €350 on a 7 inch OLED screen when I'm looking to get a 60 inch OLED screen for my living room for a few hundred more
Meanwhile Microsoft & Xbox keep adding more classic titles to their storefront AND add free optimizations and enhancements occasionally. OG Star Wars Battlefront 2 anyone??
Oh yeah, I noticed the new character on the Joycon, its Drift the Fairy Elf! If you play the game 20 hours, all controls reverse permanently, not locked behind an amiibo either. Really handy feature of the new joy con reprints
Xbox Series X is probably my favorite home console I've ever owned from a consumer perspective. Love the games, game pass is super affordable, love the performance, love the Controller and the loading times are absolutely insane!! Switch is my favorite handheld & these two make a great pair. All the Bethesda games & EA play games are also really good. I'll eventually get a PS5 when it is 1) smaller and 2) more affordable with more memory. The games are just so expensive, it's a huge turn off. With Xbox SX I can play my old Star Wars Battlefront 2 disc from the OG Xbox and Left 4 Dead for my 360 & download a bunch of old school games with free enhancements at cheap prices. Anyway. Great time to be a gamer
