Re: Nintendo Sends Out Second Game-Key Card & Physical Game Survey

Lord

When you buy a game from Nintendo website it’s listed as either a physical release or a digital release but key cards are listed as physical as well but the small print then says 50GB download.
This is quite misleading if you think you’re getting a full physical package which doesn’t require you to download the game. They should change that. So it’s physical, download or key card (requires game to be downloaded).

I’m against key cards for many reasons, but mostly as it forces the storage ownership onto you. - you need to buy the storage to download the game which is an extra cost on top of the cost of the game.
If a third a party game can’t master compression like Nintendo then the 50-60Gb game is gonna cost an extra £10 in SD card storage for each game that size.
There will be a day when you can’t re download it and there will be a day when the storage fails or becomes corrupted.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Super Mario Party Jamboree TV?

This is fundamentally a bolt on to help sell the camera. And to be fair rather than a £50 game with little content, I applaud the direction Nintendo have taken to create a bolt.
But maybe a better bundle would have been the game + bolt on + camera all at a £79.99 (original game price £40+upgrade code £10 + camera £30)

Re: Talking Point: One Month On, How Did Nintendo's Switch 2 Launch Go?

@Dragnoran
Yes, I imagine now wilds is out the A team will start the ball rolling on a Switch title. Whilst the B team continues with the G rank expansion.
Tho I’m expecting a worlds port or a remaster before they announce a main stream title.
They could go down the route of World port followed by a wilds port which would bring the franchises together for future releases.

Re: Talking Point: One Month On, How Did Nintendo's Switch 2 Launch Go?

I’m glad I didn’t go with the mark 1 as it’s got a lot of underlying issues which need to be resolved.
Overheating in sleep mode, joy cons snapping, case issues, and other glitches and bugs along with issues with the online lag in GameCube games and over populated lobby’s in 2 player online games.
And not to mention that dreadful battery.
So I’ll wait switched 1 has plenty still going for it and with no monster hunter game on the switch 2 I’m not in any hurry to pick it it.
Mark 2 will be along in a year and i will probably expect a monster hunter game about 1 year in as well so I’ll sit it out for another 12 months plus.
