Re: Square Enix Wants Feedback About Its New HD-2D Game Coming To Switch 2

Mariotag

I'm still trying to download it.
Switch 2 appears to have been anti-optimized for older internets.

Something they backported to OG Switch as well.

So Nintendo devices are literally the only ones that don't fully function on my internet now.

I'm looking forward to trying it though! Stupid name could become a gameseller. My problem is, why HD-2D again??

@BinaryMessiah
What sorts of internal politics?

I personally agree with the comment prior yours.
Nintendo would not have done this under Iwata/Reggie. Not any of this bs we've seen since switch 1 came out.

At bare minimum, there would have been measures taken to lighten the load on the consumer.

Re: Best Virtual Boy Games

It's weird seeing how awful some of the games on the list are.

Same time though, it's worth recognizing that the VB is an unfinished console. The N64 took the spotlight, and if not for that, we'd have seen a much different story.

Much as I like N64, I'd never wish for VB to have taken its place. But coexistence? That'd have been amazing...

Re: Here's What Donkey Kong Bananza Looked Like On Switch 1

Huh.
Looking at this, while I think it's a neat merit for it to move to switch 2, gives me a hot take.

What if they'd tried seeing if they could have a switch 1 build too?

Feels like some of the great early games were partially a product of creative ways to get around limitations. So I'd be curious how anything they developed going forward would be improved if they had done a switch 1 build as well.

@Kilroy Same distance as switch 1.
I tend to use handheld these days. Even right up by my router, it notices nothing some 90% of the time.

Switch 1 meanwhile, normally does great, but if I power off and on again for any reason, even a mandatory update, the system will be incapable of seeing the internet again until the router is reset.

Re: Nintendo Will Discontinue Switch Game Vouchers Entirely In 2026

Mariotag

I need to look at Deku Deals more..

I actually only just looked to see what was on offer from the vouchers, initially intending to get Legends Z-A, and Prime 4, but, Prime 4 is not listed...and the vast majority of the other games are either ones I have, ones I don't care about, or are priced such that it would not be worth it.
