@itslukec Can't argue with that. A very mature attitude towards gaming, that I respect. I didn't want to sound like a fanboy. To be more precise: I'm disappointed by lots of poor ports on Switch, because I thought of making Nintendo's hybrid my all-in-one console solution. Regarding Nintendo's exclusives: There is nothing to rant about here, in my opinion. I wasn't a fan of Mario Tennis, Pokémon Let's Go and Mario Party, to be honest, but I had fun with the rest and there is still more to come (Prime 4, Fire Emblem, Bayonetta 3, Shin Megami 5, Town, etc.).
@Evilworm Yeah. As someone who loved his Wii U, I was also disappointed by the amount of ports coming to Switch - at full price. Shovelware flooding the eShop is also a problem. 2018 wasn't the best year on Switch as an owner of multiple consoles. 2019 will surely be better, with all the promising exclusives pipelined. I hope.
@itslukec Exactly, that's part of my opinion. The Switch has to give special thanks to the continuing hype in social media, that it sells so well. But, that's only my personal point of view, since I'm not satisfied with the console yet and still prefer the games that release on PS4.
@Evilworm The human likes to follow the popular opinion of the majority. This means, that the Switch, most likely, will retain the top seats - despite Resi 2 and Kingdom Hearts 3. For my part, I give a sh** on sales numbers and am more excited about the titles mentioned above than anything listed on these charts, regarding the games on Switch. I'll surely belong to the minority with that opinion, but, oh well...
@WaveBoy Yes, please! I’d love a controller with switchable dpad and analog stick. The awkward Pro Controller's dpad is the reason why I prefer playing indies on PS4.
Every Nintendo focused YouTuber like RGT 85, PlayerEssence and SpawnWave is talking about Soulja Boys failed consoles and how he got punished by big daddy N.
Are sales numbers really that important? To me, it's no big deal if Sony is going to reach 90 million worldwide or Nintendo selling more than Sony in Japan. I play, what I like to play - even if it is the freaking Ouya. Also, the haters will keep on hating, even if Nintendo sells a billion Switches.
@maruse Okay. For me personally, it is a big deal having such high dips in framerate or resolution (the dynamic one in Wolfenstein II for instance). I find it to be distracting. :/
Even at 30 fps the Switch version can't even maintain the lower framerate. It's a shame since the prequel ran at a stable 60 with minimal resolution downgrade compared to the PS4 version. Cannot blame the Japanese here to prefer the Sony one.
Welp, I love metroidvanias. Can't get enough of them. If it has RPG elements and a map with lots of secrets to explore, I'm in. ^^ Let's wait and see when Timespinner comes to Switch as well.
Shame on you, Sony, for letting that nice piece of Vita hardware die supportless. How support is done right: Nintendo + 3DS. Had Nintendo developed the Vita, I think, it still would sell very well.
I'd also love the first RDR on Switch. Should be possible, since it is a last gen game. It should even run better on Switch than on PS3 and 360, and have enough space on a cartridge. Dang, just do it, Rockstar!
I'm impressed. Looks like a solid port. Atelier Lydie and Suelle was a mess on Switch. Sadly, there is no physical release. I'd like to get the trio on cartridge.
@Fake-E-Lee Yeah, I got to the boss, 'cause I liked the level up-mechanics quite a bit. But when his HP-meter went into -10 instead of dying by 0, and he killed me by one-hit, I also said: "Nope, that's too freaky. Or kinda broken." :-/
Wow. I just wanted to say thumbs up for your frequent update of news and reviews Nintendolife. Compared to your compadres from Pushsquare you are extremely lively. Keep up the good work.
Sorry for the Off Topic but I just had to push this out my chest.
But: To be honest: I'd always prefer some technical hiccups (like in SNK Heroines for the Switch, Nights of Azure 2 or Atelier Lydie and Suelle) to an incomplete (censored) version. These are to expect on PS4 in the future, unfortunately, due to Sony's questionable new censorship policies. :-/
It is, better said, a port-nightmare. I own both versions; the PS4 game runs very well and looks sharp. They could have done a better job porting it to the Switch since the graphics aren't that complex.
The funny thing is, she hasn't been announced for the PlayStation version yet. I can already imagine the poor Japanese developers going through lots of English paperwork because of a sexy download character. I don't know if I should be sad or laugh about that.
Maybe another game that would have been kill la killed - pun intended - by Sony's new censorship policy otherwise. At least the anime is very fanservicy.

Re: Japanese Charts: New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe Knocked Off Top Spot In Its Second Week
@Evilworm I feel you, mate, regarding the Switch-disappointment. But I have to disagree respectfully: Fire Emblem has never been a series for kids.
Re: Video: Watch The Nintendo Indie Highlights Presentation January 2019
So... That ist Cross Code? The game, that everyone on Steam is hyped about? Nothing for me, though. :/ Inmost looked interesting.

I'm still hyped for Bayonetta 3 though.

Re: Stardew Valley Performance Update Addresses Frame Rate Issues On Bigger Farms
And the PlayStation version still crashes when you open an empty sidequest menue. It’s obvious which version of the game is getting the most support.
Re: Review: Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes - A Stylish Return For The Otaku Hitman

Played the original to death on Wii U. The changes don’t justify the full price, at least for me.

Re: Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen Is Slashing Its Way To Nintendo Switch This April
