Not worth it for me.. at least in my country. I hate Nintendo's lack of regional pricing.. would love if some can criticize Nintendo's absurd pricing sometimes compared to other platforms with higher quality games..
@TheRedComet My biggest reason to buy PS5 is to play PS4 games.. lol. Faster loading times and longer DualSense's battery life when we play PS4 games there. You're lucky one!
@Luigisghost669 Nah I don't expect it to be.. just look at New 3DS. Personally don't mind exclusive games for Switch Pro if it means that we will get a much better hardware
@Casual_Gamer95 Yep I agree.. only bought Switch for exclusive first party games and VN. For third party games, definitely PS4 or PC for me.. not worth it even with its 'portability' when it downgrades too much with some performance issue at unreasonable price.
@Casual_Gamer95 Oh I actually agree with your point.. just wanna add that online part
Quote from a Reddit user:
The Switch is not a powerful console, and they're deluding themselves if they think it is. It doesn't mean the Switch is bad, but trying to make it out to be something more than it actually is just makes them look like a fanboy.
@Wexter That and PC is modular so it's very easy to swap SSD, RAM and everything.. very large library of games and having a powerful hardware is so convenient to handle our daily tasks.
But since I like exclusive games on PS4/PS5, I still end up buying one.. so many exclusive JRPG there for me.
For those saying that it can run on mobile - let's not forget that mobile processors are getting better and much more powerful now. The Tegra chip is weak by todays standards.. I can play Genshin Impact 1080p 60 fps without problem on my Android phone (SD 860) .. I doubt we can do the same with Switch..
At the end, we get what we pay for. Switch's price can only get us midrange Android phone nowadays
Hope NL staff will review The House in Fata Morgana: Dreams of the Revenants Edition soon.. incredible story and truly a masterpiece imo. Surprised not to see it on the list.
Wow I don't understand why people making fun of this concept. Sure it's only a short animation video and making game is really not easy, but is it wrong for us to have a dream? Is it wrong for us to hope for a 60$+ game to be on this level when PS5/XSX/PC gamers can enjoy quality 4K 60-70$ games?
@Kieroni Haha I've no idea it's otome game from the thumbnail. Love VN but not too fond of otome game (despite being a girl.. lol).
I shouldn't complain since many others might love it.. my bad. Switch/PSP/Vita is really nice to play visual novel.. love to play it when I'm on the train to work.
@Zaphod42 I feel you.. I can't stand that rumble in Pokemon SwSh.. decided to turn it off completely. I don't mind not having rumble but I guess I'm in minority.
Hmm no doubt that Nintendo fear any vulnerabilities that could arise just like previous systems.. (3DS hack through browser, system apps and stuff).. but still.. please add something :/ (at least folders and theme imo)
@SepticLemon That's really convenient and useful thank you. I love my Switch Pro Controller but reading positive comments on this article.. will get one soon hopefully.
@BananaMetallurgica On title screen, select Menu -> Handbook, or press X while on the map, on top right. I think maybe it's only accessible after we reach August hmm.
@BananaMetallurgica Checking aura status right? It's in the handbook if I'm not wrong. Don't worry you can raise it quickly just by interacting with everyone.
One of my wishlist.. reminds me of Japanese Rail Sim: Journey to Kyoto and Monorail Trip to Okinawa plus other japanese versions on 3DS. Thanks for this review シ
@BenAV I like your taste.. thanks for mentioning Famicom Detective Club I want to get that one too. Island, Clannad and Atelier Mysterious Trilogy will be in my top wishlist.
Kinda regret buying Trails of Cold Steel III without playing the first two games.. I should wait until they release it on Switch. I paused halfway through.. can't recommend it to anyone without any knowledge of this series.
Tempted to preorder that Akiba's Trip 10th Anniversary Edition.. would love to get that artbook. Hopefully Rosalina will be available in Mario Golf Super Rush.
@Andyv01 Really funny to watch that officer Kagami and Date convo lol.. it never gets old xD I personally love Mizuki's path.. so heartwarming. Fantastic English/Japanese VA.
I agree about using a guide for the second half on World End Syndrome. Wonderful VN and I can't wait for its sequel World End Phenomenon soon.
@Auenegheps From my experience I saved at the end of July (probably 27th) because on August 1 we need to choose which route that we want.
I recommend you to follow a walkthrough unless you want to explore every place/scene on each day.. honestly I can't complete certain mission/route without a walkthrough. Very easy to miss dates/specific place in our mission so create save regularly.
If you just want to finish every route and unlock the truth, you don't need to complete any mission at all. You can repeat failed missions on other routes but I feel it's better to finish the story first.
@TsukiDeity I definitely recommend you to finish it to know the true ending/the truth of Mihate Town.. you were already playing it in recommended route order too
Saya -> Hanako -> Maimi -> Yukino -> Miu -> Truth
If you don't have much time to play it, just follow a walkthrough to finish this mysterious VN シ
