@Olmectron Nintendo doesn't have to away from the servers to also go away. Nintendo themselves have stated that they plan on taking down the Wii server.
@RubyCarbuncle If you get "telling you what to do" from their tweet, then lol. They're just trying to let more people know the state of physical Switch 2 games.
@Porco If it gets that bad, the publisher could just, y'know, put the full game on the cartridge? There's no excuse for a tiny game like Puyo to be put on a game key card.
As a kid, I remember thinking it was so strange Sora in Kingdom Hearts didn't get hurt from fall damage. Up to that point in 2002, I played so many games where fall damage was the standard. It actually kinda bugged me. Lol
@dskatter They're getting cocky. MS, Sony, and Nintendo all do this when their previous system sells well. When they inevitably do bad with the follow up, they become humble to try to win people back over.
@Not_Soos Supposedly that whole thing about Pikachu wasn't accurate.
The answer likely lies in the Japanese word 胸, which can mean both chest or breasts/boobs. What appears to have happened is that the phrase "big chest" got misinterpreted on the Japanese side first. Iwata meant "big chest" as in large pectoral muscles, but somewhere down the line in retelling the story this turned into "huge boobs", like a bad game of telephone.
I will. Anytime I have a redundant system due to backwards compatibility, I'll sell the older system. I'll never touch it again if I can play the games on the new system (especially if the performance is better). I only have so much space in my house.
@NintendoByNature Nintendo already told investors that it would be unveiled within the current fiscal year, which ends this March. Unless something went terribly wrong during development, I feel they would commit to that.
@Jeronan Except it's not just this site. Plenty of general gaming sites are poking fun at the 11" version. Honestly, at the 11" size, I don't understand why you wouldn't just get a gaming laptop and use a controller with it. What would be the pros to using going with it over a laptop? It sure as heck isn't the portability.
@RupeeClock It's not that deep. This is just a cute game for a general audience. Only Sonic fans know about things like open-zones, boost formula, and momentum. Lol
Absolutely gorgeous game. Usually don't play these types of games, but I'm giving this a shot. Really wish we could get another mainline Metal Slug game.

Re: Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. Announced For Switch 2
@RiasGremory All Sega games have been game key cards. Why would this be different?
Re: Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. Announced For Switch 2
@Anti-Matter VF is known for being more realistic. I don't know why you need a super art gauge.

Re: "We MUST Resist Buying These Game-Key Releases", Says GamesMaster Host
@NielsNL What's the excuse for the really small games being on game key cards?
Re: "We MUST Resist Buying These Game-Key Releases", Says GamesMaster Host
@darylb24 Many Playstation 5 games don't require to be downloaded. Aside from patches, the full game is on the disc.

Re: "We MUST Resist Buying These Game-Key Releases", Says GamesMaster Host
@NielsNL What happens when Nintendo pulls the server? That's the crux of the issue.
Re: Every Nintendo Switch 2 Game-Key Card Release
@twadebarcelona Because it appears to be more prevalent this generation? It's setting a bad precedent.

@Erigen You're doing a disservice to Tron. That actually has style. This added some neon and called it a day.

Re: Hands On: Should 'Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour' Be A Pack-In Game?
@John_Deacon All three of the console manufacturers do this. Look at Sony with the PS3 or MS with the One.
Re: Hands On: Should 'Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour' Be A Pack-In Game?
@aznable I definitely agree Nintendo is being greedy, but you seriously think Sony has been any different with the PS5? Lol.
You won't even get a Switch 2 when the price drops?
Re: Hands On: Should 'Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour' Be A Pack-In Game?
@Kimyonaakuma I mean, Astro Bot was preinstalled, but you could delete it and reinstall it later if you wanted.
Re: Hands On: Should 'Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour' Be A Pack-In Game?
@Yosher Nintendo won't be greedy for long when the Switch 2 gets off to a slow start like the 3DS and Wii U.
Re: Hands On: Should 'Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour' Be A Pack-In Game?
@KBuckley27 This isn't really a game though. It's a bundle of glorified tech demos. Lol
Do you think Face Raiders, the Mii Plaza, and the AR game for the 3DS should've had a price tag as well? What about the various Wii Channel apps?

@RainbowGazelle Nobody outside of the US cares about baseball? Bro, what. It's huge in numerous Latin and Asian countries, especially Japan.
Re: Poll: Will You Trade In Your Switch When Switch 2 Arrives?
@Ryu_Niiyama Posting it on FB Marketplace/Craigslist would be better.
Re: Poll: Will You Trade In Your Switch When Switch 2 Arrives?
@Jalex_64 Haven't heard anything about deteriorating launch Switches, which are almost 8 years old now.
Re: Poll: Will You Trade In Your Switch When Switch 2 Arrives?
@Ichiban I don't see how modern consoles are any more fragile than older ones. For example, it's not like the PS2 was known for being built well.
Re: Poll: Will You Trade In Your Switch When Switch 2 Arrives?
I will. Anytime I have a redundant system due to backwards compatibility, I'll sell the older system. I'll never touch it again if I can play the games on the new system (especially if the performance is better). I only have so much space in my house.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Klonoa: Empire of Dreams (GBA)
Japan for me. I would've gone with Europe, but the cheesy blur effect ruined it.
People who voted for NA have to be trolling.
Re: Rumour: Switch Virtual Console Was Apparently Nintendo's "Original Plan"
@Truegamer79 I definitely agree with most of your post, but I don't see how 4 bucks a month is overpriced.

Re: Tech Fans Have Gone Full 'Layton' In Analysing The 'Switch 2' Motherboard
@Marthstache Matters to me. There's plenty of AAA games (not EA and Ubi) that are good.

Re: Bandai Namco Unveils New Pac-Man Game, And It's Probably Not What You Expect
@Kestrel Pac-Man doesn't need to be "modernized." Games like World and Championship Edition were great.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (3DS)

Re: Potential Switch Port Round-Up - The Wii U Games That Haven't Come To Switch
@nocdaes You really can't make the same argument. DKCTF was a critical and financial success on Wii U; SF0 was not.
