@SmaggTheSmug BOTW does have a legal 60fps version as long as you legitimately buy a WiiU disc. Emulation is perfectly legal if the developer does it correctly, which CeMu have, and as long as you legally own the game disc and use it.
Square Enix have been one of the companies leading the JRPG charge on PC the last few years and see it is definitely worth their time to release on the biggest gaming platform on the planet.
Halo: The Fall Of Reach. The initial 4 books of the Halo universe had great expanded lore and backstory especially covering the wars/flood and Reach before they ever made any games about them.
I think you mean uncompressed because the storage media allowed it to not have to be compromised with cut corners (i.e. compression) like the Switch version has to do to get it onto a smaller media.
@faint I provided mine, which correct reinforced what I said, which can't be said about your incorrect statement and lack of proof since it doesn't exist. Which is clear since you are dodging your inability to provide it, since it doesn't exist.
Now, I'll go play some real games because I can and I'll bother replying again when you can prove me wrong with them.
@faint They can just take the Switch approach and cut it down. to 240p, create even smaller textures, remove all sorts of settings, etc to make it run on there. I mean Doom is unacceptably low, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 runs in sub standard definition sometimes and still barely breaks 20fps in the secondary handheld mode. There is clearly no "floor" to where they can cut down to so they have no excuse to not put whatever they want on whatever they want if it's not a power thing.
There is a reason everything is announced for everything bar Switch. End of story.
@faint Marketing is only the clever disguise for shortcomings. A product announced and defined as a home console, is delivering numbers and experiences lesser than cheaper available competition.
If the Switch it is a handheld, no one should ever be allowed to ask "where's the Switch port?" because they didn't ask "where's the 3DS port?
@faint It was my first reply to you, where I linked the statement from Nintendo saying it is a home console first and it's hybrid features are secondary, like I've been saying this whole time.
@electrolite77 My bizarre agenda is "it looks and performs worse than cheaper alternatives in 99% of situations when using as a home console, the primary function of the device, and even worse in the secondary mode of the device"?
I mean, I know modern Nintendo fans are allergic to 3rd party support, but logic and facts too? Damn....
@MrBlacky "Besides, most AAA-games look the same anyway, because everyone wants to make their games as realistic looking as possible." comes off pretty salty, usually along the lines of what the Nintendo Defense Force say about anything that isn't coming to Switch. "Doesn't look good anyway!"
@electrolite77 Can you provide an updated statement from the console manufacturer that explicitly says it is a handheld device and NOT a home console? I provided one for my side.
@subpopz and yet it's still the current statement to this day that hasn't been rectified. (btw it's also still called the latest home console on Nintendo's website last I checked earlier this year).
@faint It's marketed and defined by Nintendo as a home console first with hybrid features second. It will be judged as such.
@MrBlacky You were doing so well until you pulled the "hating on what we don't have" card. Oh and notice most are first party or funded by Nintendo. You know what else have strong first party support and lackluster 3rd party support? The sega saturn, the sega dreamcast, the wiiu.
Hell the xbox one is dying in sales and performance, but it still gets the vast majority of those big 3rd party games that every other platform except Switch gets.
Actually the Nintendo Switch is a home console first and foremost according to Nintendo, so it should rightly be judged compared to other home consoles.
@NintendoFan4Lyf It's locked from other devs. The payday 2 devs and several others have said they weren't allowed include voice chat in their development.
@mahmoodinho98 Developer friendly doesn't mean much when you're 1. Significantly less powerful and 2. the only of the 4 major platforms that doesn't use the same architecture.

Re: Spyro: Reignited Trilogy Is Finally Officially, But Switch Is Left Out In The Cold
Not even timed exclusive just no Switch version. How are you people not used to this by now?
Re: Nintendo Download: 5th April (Europe)
Any sign of Bad Dudes yet?
Also lol that spyro was just announced for PS4/Xbox and not Switch
Re: Dark Souls Remastered To Feature Improved Frame Rates In Blighttown
@SmaggTheSmug BOTW does have a legal 60fps version as long as you legitimately buy a WiiU disc. Emulation is perfectly legal if the developer does it correctly, which CeMu have, and as long as you legally own the game disc and use it.
Re: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze On Switch Loads Twice As Fast As On Wii U
So many people still not understanding that Nintendo it double dipping, not you lol
Re: Video: Digital Foundry Lavishes Praise On Outlast 2 Switch Port
@Samwise7 Except it's not. Lower res, lower graphical settings and most importantly, half the framerate.

Re: Dragon Quest XI On Switch Will Arrive "Much Later" Than Other Versions
Never had plans to buy it on the Switch, but PC version is a welcome upgrade over a PS4 version.

Because bending Switches and the left joycon connecting issue are proof Nintendo has excellent QA.

Re: Yu Suzuki Says There Are No Plans For Shenmue III On Switch, Unsurprisingly
@nhSnork They didn't. It's known that Sony are only paying for distribution of the ps4 version and marketing. It's developed from Kickstarter funds
Re: Yu Suzuki Says There Are No Plans For Shenmue III On Switch, Unsurprisingly
@Damo Support doesn't equal funding
Re: Yu Suzuki Says There Are No Plans For Shenmue III On Switch, Unsurprisingly
@Damo Except Sega aren't funding this in any way.
Re: Yu Suzuki Says There Are No Plans For Shenmue III On Switch, Unsurprisingly
It's also on PC. Sony are also only handling both the marketing and publishing of only the PS4 version
Re: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze's Switch File Is Almost Half The Size Of The Wii U Version
@kobashi100 "bloated to help loading times"
I think you mean uncompressed because the storage media allowed it to not have to be compromised with cut corners (i.e. compression) like the Switch version has to do to get it onto a smaller media.

Spoiler alert: You can't.
Re: Video: Here's More Evidence That The Switch Port Of WWE 2K18 Really Is Terrible
@faint No, still waiting on your receipts. My point is perfect.
Re: Video: Here's More Evidence That The Switch Port Of WWE 2K18 Really Is Terrible
@faint Irrelevant was the world I shoulda used. My point still stands which means we're done here.
Re: Video: Here's More Evidence That The Switch Port Of WWE 2K18 Really Is Terrible
@faint I did, it's just wrong.

Re: Video: Here's More Evidence That The Switch Port Of WWE 2K18 Really Is Terrible
@faint I thought so. I provided evidence from the company, you resorted to ad hominem because you're out of ideas and can't prove your side. Thank you
Re: Video: Here's More Evidence That The Switch Port Of WWE 2K18 Really Is Terrible
@faint Receipts please

Re: Video: Here's More Evidence That The Switch Port Of WWE 2K18 Really Is Terrible
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Only Reggie the mouth piece does
It's backfiring on them this time anyway. "It's a home console" with almost no home console games and terrible versions of the few it does have.

Actually the Nintendo Switch is a home console first and foremost according to Nintendo, so it should rightly be judged compared to other home consoles.

Re: Random: Kamiya Threatens To "Lose Motivation" For Bayonetta 3 Unless Nintendo Grants His Switch Wishes
It's kinda pointless, the joycons are terrible, even when plugged into the grip, so it's kinda moot.
Re: Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Trilogy Secures Western April Release On Switch
@KishinLink No, the 4th game which the Switch isn't getting as of yet, does that.
Re: Soapbox: I'm Secretly Terrified Of An All-Digital Gaming Future

@Xaessya Yeah the PC is great like that, giving people choice and freedom over their purchases, at cheaper prices than on console too.

Re: The Studio That Ported Skyrim To Switch Wants To Tackle Monster Hunter World Next
@MFD The CPU side of the Tegra X1 is very weak. PS4/Xbox one are mid range 2012 laptop hardware power, the X1 is even lower in ability.
