I was initially put off since they couldn't bother optimizing the Switch version(though possible to improve it through some patches). And now this? No thanks.
Lara over Mario, Sackboy over the likes of Pac Man, Link and Pikachu, Agent 47 that high. These choices along with two BG3 characters on here makes me think people who voted here lost the meaning of the word iconic.
Never been interested in any prior Xbox platforms, but a native handheld platform would interest me. The big concern here is if it's done correctly: price, support etc.
I don't think this is an issue with hardware folks, lol. I have MLB 22 on Switch and it works fine, as did '23 from what I've heard. This is probably early launch issue(which a lot of games suffer from, no matter the hardware) and will probably get patched.
One of my favorite Switch games personally. Would love to experience the new content, but my Switch backlog is far too large right now. Perhaps I'll give it a go on Switch 2..
Looks like everyone's already made up their mind with this one, like most Nintendo games. People will either complain that it only got a 9 or 10 because it's a Nintendo game or in the event it gets like a 7(which is still a good score), they'll act like it's a terrible game.
Anyway, I don't put much stock in Famitsu either, but this is inline with what I was expecting. PPS won't be anything amazing, but still a solid title.
Nice to hear it's a solid port. Yet another reason why the Switch is more capable than a lot of people give it credit for. Might check this out for the sole reason that they did a good job with the port.
While I prefer Splatoon 2 and 3, gotta give credit to Splatoon 1 for starting it all and giving a much needed breath of fresh air to the multiplayer shooter genre.
Nice to know that TTYD remaster is May, definitely getting that. Not really interested in double dipping on Dark Moon, but it's great to have on Switch and highly recommend to any newcomers.
I feel like a lot of people aren't going to read the article and assume Nintendo forced this, lol. But yeah, this was probably safe. Yuzu screwed up because they tied a Patreon to it and were shouting from the rooftops about how you can download TotK a week before release.
Funny how people bringing up shovelware like this hasn't been a thing since video games themselves have been around(consoles or otherwise). The more successful a platform is, you'll naturally attract more sub-quality games, it is what it is. All great platforms from the SNES, to the PS2 to the DS to the Switch have their fair share of bad games. Just seems like such a moot point in the grand scheme.
Yikes, that sucks. This looks even worse when you see Sony bragging about PS5 hitting another sales milestone or how their latest game sold however million units.
Seems like Nintendo is one of a few companies who hasn't been laying people off these last few months. Kudos to them.

Re: Forget In-Game Currency, Disney Speedstorm's Next Premium Season Pass Requires Real Money
I was initially put off since they couldn't bother optimizing the Switch version(though possible to improve it through some patches). And now this? No thanks.
I'll stick with MK8D.
Re: Prince Of Persia: Sands Of Time Remake Dev Update Shared In New "Exclusive"
Welp, I guess we'll see this on Switch 2 later down the line.
Re: Epic Mickey Switch Remake Translates "Motion Controls To Analog Sticks" And Enhances Camera
That's cool that the Switch release will get best of both worlds(analog and motion controls). I'll be getting this at some point.
Re: Sea Of Thieves Could Lead To More Xbox Exclusives On Other Platforms
It would be hilarious if MS is a big 3rd party for Switch 2.

This is nice, looks like the game will have plenty of content. Definitely getting this.

Nice to see PPS and the Switch on top again.
Re: Random: BAFTA's 'Iconic Game Characters' Poll Has Us Scratching Our Heads
Yeah, this list is...... something lol.
Lara over Mario, Sackboy over the likes of Pac Man, Link and Pikachu, Agent 47 that high. These choices along with two BG3 characters on here makes me think people who voted here lost the meaning of the word iconic.
Re: Surprise! A New Listing For Hollow Knight: Silksong Has Appeared Online
Good news. Perhaps a 2024 release is a possibility... Hopefully it's not an Xbox timed exclusive.
Re: As Switch Approaches The PS2's Lifetime Sales, Sony Moves The Goalposts
Whether the PS2 is 155, 160 or somewhere in between, I would love to see the Switch surpass it. Which, I think will happen.
Re: Japanese Charts: Princess Peach: Showtime Rules Over The Competition
Great to see Showtime do well. Also nice week for Switch hardware, already surpassed 30M over there and still going.
Re: Poll: So, Do You Prefer Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Or Tears Of The Kingdom?
TotK built upon what was already a masterpiece and made it even better. TotK for me.
Re: Video: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Storybook Scene Side-By-Side Comparison
The new opening is soooo good. Day 1 purchase from me.

Nice game to have on the service. Never played this one before, so another new experience for me.
Re: Rumour: Xbox May Be About To Join The Switch In The Handheld Space
Never been interested in any prior Xbox platforms, but a native handheld platform would interest me. The big concern here is if it's done correctly: price, support etc.
Re: Shadows Of The Damned: Hella Remastered Confirmed For Switch
This game went under my radar originally, but really glad this is coming to Switch.
Re: Players Are Having Major Issues With MLB The Show 24 On Switch
I don't think this is an issue with hardware folks, lol. I have MLB 22 on Switch and it works fine, as did '23 from what I've heard. This is probably early launch issue(which a lot of games suffer from, no matter the hardware) and will probably get patched.
Re: So, Will You Be Getting Princess Peach: Showtime! For Switch?
Yes, but not right away. Gotta chip away at least some of my backlog.
Re: Round Up: Every Switch Announcement From Future Games Show: Spring Showcase 2024
Tchia is my personal highlight, glad to hear it's no longer a Playstation console exclusive and it's coming to Switch.
Re: Tropical Open World Adventure 'Tchia' Glides Onto Switch This Summer
This is nice, was really hoping this would get ported to Switch.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Princess Peach: Showtime!
Yup, right inline with what I was expecting, nothing amazing but still a good time regardless. Definitely getting this game eventually.
Re: Review: Princess Peach: Showtime! (Switch) - Peach Breaks A Leg In A High-Class Production
Nice review here. Definitely getting this game at some point.
Re: Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance Will Now Arrive "One Week Earlier" On Switch
One of my favorite Switch games personally. Would love to experience the new content, but my Switch backlog is far too large right now. Perhaps I'll give it a go on Switch 2..
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Just Won Two More Awards
Great to see. Well deserved winning both those awards.
Re: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Tops Amazon's 'Best-Sellers' Chart As Pre-Orders Sell Out (US)
Good to see people putting their money where their mouths are. If you want future PM to be like more like TTYD, I suggest supporting this remaster.
Definitely picking this up myself.
Re: The First Review For Princess Peach: Showtime! Is In
Looks like everyone's already made up their mind with this one, like most Nintendo games. People will either complain that it only got a 9 or 10 because it's a Nintendo game or in the event it gets like a 7(which is still a good score), they'll act like it's a terrible game.
Anyway, I don't put much stock in Famitsu either, but this is inline with what I was expecting. PPS won't be anything amazing, but still a solid title.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Link Figma Locks In 2025 Release, Pre-Orders Live
Wow, that's really cool.
Re: Planet Of Lana Brings Off-Earth Odyssey To Switch Next Month
Heard of a lot of good things about it. Definitely willing to check it out now that it's coming to Switch.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis Of Kingdom Come Deliverance On Switch
Nice to hear it's a solid port. Yet another reason why the Switch is more capable than a lot of people give it credit for. Might check this out for the sole reason that they did a good job with the port.
Re: Metroid For NES Could Be Inducted Into The Video Game Hall Of Fame
Long overdue for Metroid to be in there. Pulling for Metroid and Resident Evil to get inducted.
Re: Soapbox: As Splatoon's Online Wraps Up Nearly 9 Years On, How Does It Compare To Splatoon 3?
While I prefer Splatoon 2 and 3, gotta give credit to Splatoon 1 for starting it all and giving a much needed breath of fresh air to the multiplayer shooter genre.
Re: Contra: Operation Galuga "Full-Version Patch Update" Announced For Switch
This is reassuring. However, this really should've been optimized prior to launch. No reason this game couldn't run smoothly on Switch.
Re: Review: Contra: Operation Galuga (Switch) - Does The Series Proud, But Best Played Elsewhere
No reason a game like this can't run perfectly fine on Switch. Konami really screwed up here not giving more development time.
Re: Switch Release Dates For Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door & Luigi's Mansion 2 HD Confirmed
Nice to know that TTYD remaster is May, definitely getting that. Not really interested in double dipping on Dark Moon, but it's great to have on Switch and highly recommend to any newcomers.
Re: Game Boy Emulator Developer Permanently Removes App From Google Play Store
I feel like a lot of people aren't going to read the article and assume Nintendo forced this, lol. But yeah, this was probably safe. Yuzu screwed up because they tied a Patreon to it and were shouting from the rooftops about how you can download TotK a week before release.
Re: Switch Emulator Yuzu To Pay $2.4 Million To Nintendo & Cease Development
@Arawn93
Yup. Don't know what they were thinking tying a Patreon to an emulator lol.
Re: Switch Emulator Yuzu To Pay $2.4 Million To Nintendo & Cease Development
"yuzu and its team have always been against piracy."
"piracy was never our intention"
Hahahahahaha.
Re: Anniversary: Switch Turns Seven Today, With Over 11,000 Games On The eShop
Funny how people bringing up shovelware like this hasn't been a thing since video games themselves have been around(consoles or otherwise). The more successful a platform is, you'll naturally attract more sub-quality games, it is what it is. All great platforms from the SNES, to the PS2 to the DS to the Switch have their fair share of bad games. Just seems like such a moot point in the grand scheme.
Re: Anniversary: Switch Turns Seven Today, With Over 11,000 Games On The eShop
Happy anniversary to what is now my favorite video game system ever. Nintendo did a fantastic job with the Switch.
Re: Crash Bandicoot Dev Toys For Bob Splits From Activision & Xbox, Goes Independent
Good news. It's not like they can't still make games like Crash and spyro anyway. Would love to see them work with Nintendo now as well.
Re: Sega Implies That Releasing Sonic Superstars Next To Super Mario Bros. Wonder Wasn't Smart
Yeah, a pretty bad decision on their part. I don't have to think twice about buying a new mainline Mario game, Sonic on the other hand....
Re: Sony Lays Off 900 PlayStation Employees, Closes London Studio & Cancels Projects
Yikes, that sucks. This looks even worse when you see Sony bragging about PS5 hitting another sales milestone or how their latest game sold however million units.
Seems like Nintendo is one of a few companies who hasn't been laying people off these last few months. Kudos to them.
Re: Nintendo Sets Its Sights On Switch Emulator Yuzu In New Lawsuit
People are bringing up old games, but this is for Switch games, which are widely available. I don't blame Nintendo for going after them for this.
Re: Review: Pentiment (Switch) - Obsidian's Medieval Murder Mystery Is Portable Perfection
Great to have this game on Switch. On my wish list, will definitely grab it at some point.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis Of Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster
Looks like yet another Nightdive gem to grab on Switch. Never played this back in the day, but heard mostly good things about it.
Re: Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection Estimated Switch File Size Revealed
Still a lot smaller versus the other platforms. Not to mention micro SDs can be found for dirt cheap, file sizes just aren't a problem on Switch imo.
Re: Poll: What Switch Online Rare Game Are You Playing This Weekend?
Already played through KI with Saberwulf, might jump into Battletoads this weekend. Also playing Side Order as well.
Re: Review: Splatoon 3: Side Order - An Addictive Roguelite Just Shy Of Excellence
Really enjoying it myself as well. Great piece of DLC.
