If with new you intented full price game then zero, the last game I've paid full price was Pandora's Tower limited edition. If with new you intend a game I doesn't already have then ..... way too many, there are too many tempting sales where I can buy great games I want for just a couple of euro that make my backlog evergrowing.
@Warioware it has problably some better lenses and is more confortable and cool but yes it's basicaly the same thing, that is why I said that for that high price they could have made a standalone working Virtual Boy.
@Warioware The problem was the hardware, like almost every "first generation" stereoscopic screens you'll feel bad after a few minutes of use; mostly you get headache, nausea and eye's pain.
Nintendo decision on the price of that accessory is quite something you will expect of Apple. For 100$/80€/67£ they could have easily made a perfectly functioning virtual boy that supported the joycon (so you needed to have a switch to buy it).
@CobaltFan while the game is worth the price (I liked this more than the first), it shouldn't be priced this high and I wouldn't pay that but I have got the original version on Wii and a good CRT tv. Considering that this time is not a time limited thing, you can wait for it to be on sale.
If those games we're just products, I wanna see him before retirement making one as art. Now I'm just too courious of knowing what will be art for him.
It doesn't look good, at least for me, by looking at the thickness I'm curious to see if it is bad for thermal dissipation, hopefully temperature will rise just by a couple of degree.
Physical license were and are used for professional software and machines, for software they let you install the software on every computer of you're company but you can use it only if you plug-in the usb stick with the physical license and you had to plug in everytime you use it. Switch 2 game key card are the same, a physical license for a digital only software; it's far better than the trash like code-in-a-box but not good as a proper game cartridge altough considering the grafical power of switch2 the filesize of games will easily became a problem for physical storage so in the end it'll be good to have at least a physical license.
Code in a box, for me, is a practice that shouldn't exist. Those box are just a waste of material and transport to give you nothing more than an e-shop game. At least they could have used a game key so that the game was not only available for one account.
I hope we can disable the chat in the options for those who are not interested so that accidentally press it chat won't open or at least you need to take it pressed for a few seconds.
Instead of making the joycon with a mouse sensor, Nintendo should have just allowed the use of whatever mouse you want. I've never considered the purchase of arpg (like baldur's gate) or fps 'cause I cannot get used to use a gamepad for those type of games.
Scalpers are a plague, I wanted to buy a n64 controller for switch (and for my pc 'cause usb adapter for original pad are not so good reading the reviews) but I coul never find available on Nintendo store, there are on eBay but even at four times the price. I hope that the GameCube controller would be easier to buy.
For what they've shown I think there is the possibility that they will use a blockchain system to give the digital licenses of games so when you lend the game the license will be temporarly trasfered too. If they do this right it could be a great step forward into the digital ownership that is not an unlimited time rental that coul be taken off whenever the company decide to.
From what I see they have spent more money, time and brain power on the trailers than the content itself. For Z-A, I'm absolutely astonished at how bad is graphically, buildings look like a fifteen years old SketchUp project with low quality textures but at least frame rate look better than previous games. I think that wild zones inside the city are just a lazy design choice. There is one thing that makes me happy, manual evasive movement is something I wish from the times of Pokémon stadium on n64.
The best will be to have both, I personally prefer the subscription because I just play them once in a while or try games I've never seen but for some I would like to buy them. If they can bu buyed at discount of you have an active subscription it will be even better.
The best thing Will be having two separate league, the 12 players and the 24 players of madness. With 24 players there is no race, it's a battlefield, and i cannot wait for It.
@TheBigK it's true that with unofficial services there are risk, from bad code that damage your console to using It as a trojan horse to install malware on every devices connected to your home network but that is not the actual reason for the warning, most likely Nintendo don't like the existence of those alternative service and has already received many support request for bricked console.
I would buy It but they have to add more online mission for the global Nemesis and increase a lot the drop rate of materials and equipment, i'm not willing to spent another 10-20 hours for getting what I need to beat the tyrants by foot.
I think that preorder have largely outnumbered the first batch of copy shipped, I've preordered it in march on amazon but as of today it say that I'll get it the 3rd of july.
And I've bought a physical copy of the original on switch on sale the day before the annuncement of Vengeance; I've not played it yet and now I don't know what to do. Maybe i will get vengeange later on steam on sale to play it with better performance or hope for a dlc upgrade of the original (that probably won't appen if they remove the original from the eshop).
I'm not happy of this, I've buyed the physical copy of the original just a couple of weeks ago on sale, hopefully they release a dlc for it.
In general I don't like this trend of re-releasing games with "definitive edition" or "deluxe edition", it just feel that they make me buy an incomplete version most of the time.
I think that should be illegal. If you make a physical copy you ha to place the entire game in the cartidge/disc or go digital only otherwise you are creating trash, consuming resources, occupying shipping space and storage space for the sellers, consuming fuel and making foul of us players.
For me the more urgent upgrade need to be the wifi antenna, i had to use the lan cable because in may room i get poor low signal with switch but my pc as good wifi signal
If allowed, Ms will directly port xcloud and gamepass on switch and even on ps5, Spencer has said many times that ms don't care about selling xbox but expanding their ecosystem and cod is just a trojan horse to get "hardcore" player on gamepass, being on smart TV, smartphone, ps5, switch or elsewhere is irrelevant. As for specifically cod on switch i couldn't care less, it's not my cup of tea, i prefer fast paced fps like quake, doom and unreal tournament on mouse and keyboard.
I would like for Nintendo to remain physical but if switch2 go all digital, nintendo had to either remove hardware lock on sd card or allow to make backup un usb drive without encrypting and hardware locking the usb drive so that we can easily manage backup on pc or at least have two sd card slot.
All of my oldest sd card are now unusable so I'm quite concerned to keep my library on without piracy on nintendo console when eshop will be shout down.
Gothic II is one of the best game I've played.
When they released the expansions they have made it in a great way; the expansion is integrated in the main game so you had to replay it but with the new content they update many quest with new way of completing them, that way a second playtrought was more enjoyable.
@mariomaster96 i would love that too but we cannot forget that Nintendo has never given software upscaling or any other form of grafical improvement to retrocompatible software, just think of gc/wii/wiiu. It's even too soon for a remasterd version.
Playing the original Crystal Chronicles on GC with three friends was the best part of the game. I woud like to see a remaster of The Crystal Bearers but they should add a bit more of complexity to the fighting, being able to use only telekinesys and not even a sword was the worst thing of the game.
@Bunkerneath Gothic is one of the best rpg, this port doesn't look good but after playing the gothic remake demo on steam I think this one will be a better choice.
My main problem with this game is that this does not look like prince of persia and i'm not talking about the protagonist but the fact that the game looks like a generic metroidvania with a lot of scripted action; maybe ubisoft could have just made this a new IP.
Am I the only that think that this product could be a scam? For comparison they use an extremely low quality 1080p video that looks much worse than botw on wiiu at 720p and the 4k low just seem like the quality of the internal software upscaler of my 4k tv. Or am I wrong?
I've just three things to say. First: I'm one of the few that use always Opera browser. Second: streaming games is far from being a good experience and will not be for many years. Third: an android console is trash in my opinion, android os is quite a problem that reduces drastically the hardware capabilities, it will need too much optimization to run games at today (even yesterday) standard except for the mass of money grabbing free to play.
the name, all the shop i know had to place a big advertising that is not a wii and games does not work on wii because people initially buyed wiiu game for wii and were asking for refounds
orrible marketing, including the fact that so many tought that the wiiu gamepad was a tablet that worked without the console
third and first party lack of wiiu gamepad use
high number of different controller to buy for someone who does' t have already a wii (mario party 8 for example)
no upscaling or filtering on wii mode to increase video quality
first year lack of games
the doomed fate marketing of anyone that prevented many third party to port games to the console
Soo many said that " wiiu has not enough power too..." but wii, ds and switch demonstrate that low spec console can sell a lot and have great games. I've got a lot of fun with wiiu and the countless hours offline multiplayer of mario kart and smash bross (playing it with six friend toghether was awsome); zelda, xenoblade, bayonetta and all those great indie and vc. With all the fun time passed with it, even if it is an economical failure and has a lot of flaws, how can i say that it is not a great console?
My Nintendo is way worst than the old Club nintendo; just to say one thing, last week i lost 300 gold coin that i cannot spend because all the offer are for games that i already have.
I'am italian .... why nintendo had to punish italy with such an orrible dub??? In italy we have many of the best movie dubbers of the world so why almost every videogames and anime had to be dubbed by the worst ones ??? In the italian trailer they have even removed part of what is said so i think that even the translation is going to be bad😢. I hope that nintendo will patch the game because the japanese one is the best one judging from the trailers and i don't know japanese.
For the alternative endings I think that one will lead to Twilight Princess timeline with Ganondorf sealed in the twilight realm and the other to Wind Waker timeline where the king had to seal Hyrule under the sea to stop Ganon.
