@TheFrenchiestFry I typically don't like when anyone buys a studio (outside of the studio about to go bankrupt and this is the only way they can be saved) because it locks multiplatform IPs and series to specific hardware. Even though the Microsoft/Bethesda deal won't have any impact on me as the games will come to PC as well, it locks out others on other platforms.
The reason I especially don't want Nintendo getting them would be the significant downgrade of X title due to Switch hardware.
@Cosats Nothing illegal about emulation as long as it doesn't use copyrighted code. Decades of lawsuits have proven this. That's why Dolphin and CEMU are untouchable.
@StevenG Must be some type of compromise for the screen size then, considering all high end OLEDs have no issues, including my current panasonic master set or people with the 2nd best current gaming tv, the LG CX. Which wouldn't transfer to something like a Switch replacement.
@StevenG Most OLED are considerably faster than even top end LCD. 0.1ms vs 1ms? It has nothing to do with why they're LCD. In fact most of them are OLED now, not LCD. Rift, Vive, OSVR, Helmet Vision, all OLED. The "smearing" is because most of the headsets refresh at 45hz per eye for most headsets. Well, not with the new ones being 100 or 120hz.
@TheFullAndy I have an old panasonic plasma as my secondary TV and always get a kick out of people commenting on how great it is to this day. So I'm right there with you.
@Kimyonaakuma It's not just that. You don't get the greyish black levels or washed out image of an LCD screen because of the persistant white backlight. The picture quality would be vastly superior to the Switch's current LCD.
Never removed the dock, so alwaya charging. It will "ruin the battery" but I've only played it outside the dock once when I got it at launch and it was attrocious so I'll never be doing that again anyway.
@GrailUK The full details on the Kickstarter page actually plan it for "next gen nintendo" where they say "we hope there is new Nintendo hardware available by then. If not, we'll try get it on Switch somehow. Bare minimum, it'll be on some Nintendo platform"

Re: Capcom Hack Reveals Great Ace Attorney Collection And Mysterious New Switch Project "Guillotine"
@DonSerrot I'm gonna wait a few months and if a few things in this list turn out true, I'll cancel my Rise Switch preorder to buy it on PC for sure.
Re: Random: Turns Out The Xbox Series X Doubles Up As A Perfect GameCube Display Stand
@RupeeClock You can't expect people on a Nintendo website to understand tech, airflow, power, etc
Re: Poll: Which Will Be Your Second Console - PS5 Or Xbox Series X?
@IronMan30 Easy to drum up tribalistic fanboy clicks
Re: Poll: Which Will Be Your Second Console - PS5 Or Xbox Series X?
Switch is the 2nd console
Re: Random: New Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Mod Aims To Restore Hyrule Age Of Calamity Style
@sanderev Who says anything about him distributing it? He's showing off what he has done in his own personal copy of the game.
Re: Random: New Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Mod Aims To Restore Hyrule Age Of Calamity Style
Came for the fanboys to cry about modding and emulation, was not disappointed.
@sanderev Emulation and modding is not piracy. Decades of lawsuits prove this.
Re: Sega Asks 650 Employees To 'Voluntarily Retire', Cuts Executive Salaries
@TheFrenchiestFry Never buy a multiplat on Switch, problem solved. Worked for me for the last 3 years

Lets hope none of the hardware makers try snap up studios. Last thing I want is someone getting a hold of Atlus. Especially Nintendo.
Re: Switch Is Getting A Brand-New Dizzy Game, And It Was Coded During Lockdown
I just bought an Evercade and The Olivier Twins Collection the other day

Re: Random: PS5's DualSense Controller Works With Your Nintendo Switch, Kinda
@MaxiPareja Probably because the Soy Cons are awful. Portable doesn't always mean handheld.
Re: Control's eShop Page Reminds Us About Harsh Realities Of A Cloud-Based Future
Just like all those other games rendered useless because the games aren't complete on the game card.

Re: Rumour: 'Switch Pro' Could Feature A Mini-LED Display, According To A New Report
@TheFullAndy Yes, all types of LCD (even TN) have slower response times than practically every type of xLED screen.
Which is one of the biggest factors during motion. That's why sports screens are OLED (or plasma if older).

Re: Rumour: 'Switch Pro' Could Feature A Mini-LED Display, According To A New Report
@Zuljaras OLED (like the vastly superior vita screen compared to Switch) has that issue.
Re: Rumour: 'Switch Pro' Could Feature A Mini-LED Display, According To A New Report
It's no surprise, the Switch LCD is bargin basement on a technological front. Which reflects the quality.

Save yourself the embarrassment and understand the world of technology before your feelings take over. I'm not even saying it in a negative way.
Objective > subjective.
Re: Poll: Do You Play Your Switch More In Docked Or Handheld Mode?
100% docked because it's awful to use any other way
Re: The Original Fire Emblem Is Coming To The West For The First Time Ever On Switch

Re: Switch Can Break The Traditional Hardware Cycle And Become Nintendo's iPhone, Says Analyst
I for one, really hope not.
Re: Yes, Monster Hunter Rise Really Is Running On Standard Switch Hardware
"Really is". Is it supposed to look like something amazing outside the Switch's capabilities? It looks as poor as most Switch games.
Re: Nintendo Reportedly Arguing Switch Joy-Con Drift "Isn't A Real Problem"
This is what the company you defend thinks of you.
Re: Minecraft's Steve Revealed As Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Next DLC Fighter
@clvr Microsoft own it now. It is no longer independent.
Re: Minecraft's Steve Revealed As Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Next DLC Fighter
@clvr And bought years ago by Microsoft.
Re: Minecraft's Steve Revealed As Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Next DLC Fighter
@smashandbash Microsoft isn't indie
Re: Random: Remember To Charge Your Switch At Least Twice A Year, Nintendo Helpfully Suggests
Never removed the dock, so alwaya charging. It will "ruin the battery" but I've only played it outside the dock once when I got it at launch and it was attrocious so I'll never be doing that again anyway.
Re: Random: Grand Theft Auto 3 Is Up And Running On The Switch, It's Just Not Official
The only way it'll get GTA
Re: Random: Amazon's Luna Controller Sure Does Look Familiar
@Kienda I imagine the amazon one has a.working dpad and analogue triggers, making it the superior option.
Or maybe you just really like amiibo.
Re: The Plot Thickens On Prince Of Persia Remake As Switch Box Art Appears Online
@thesilverbrick Tons of places had the Wii box version with a switch logo on a product page.
Guess which still isn't real.
Re: The Plot Thickens On Prince Of Persia Remake As Switch Box Art Appears Online
"As Switch boxart appears online"
You mean like the Metroid Prime Trilogy?
Re: Talking Point: Does Nintendo Have A Refund Problem?
It's a laughable policy they have, very indicative of Nintendo's understanding of the internet.
Re: Random: Switch Owners Are Discovering Just How Frustrating Super Mario Sunshine Can Be
I imagine it's awful with modified and inferior contols that don't work like the game was originally designed for.
Re: Video: The Problem With The Super Mario 3D All-Stars Release
@TeamRocket47 There is no mixed messaging. Speak with your wallet. It's the clearest and only message they understand.
Re: Random: Some 3D All-Stars Players Aren't Happy About The Visible Debug Cubes In Super Mario Sunshine
@everynowandben So yes, bad ports.
Re: Poll: Super Mario 3D All-Stars Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
It's the lack of effort that put me off.
Re: It's Official, Monster Hunter Rise Confirmed For Nintendo Switch
Looks like a lifeless version of MHW
Re: This Animal Crossing Nook's Cranny Set Is Being Officially Reviewed By LEGO
Is this going to be extortionately priced like their NES?
Re: It's Not Out Yet, But Super Mario 3D All-Stars Is Already 2020's Second Best-Selling Game On Amazon
Considering there is only 1 other game worth mentioning on Switch this year, no surprise.

The article here importantly leaves that out.
