I like the idea of repairing and adding to the durability of your favorite items. When I got cool items in botw, I often hung them on a wall, because I didn't want to use them up.
I have a special 3rd party token that imitates any amiibo, that I can use if Nintendo locks future content behind an amiibo. I'll still buy cool looking amiibo as a figure, but not to access part of a game I have already bought.
If Nintendo are worried about a Switch successor, perhaps they should start making some good games, bring back virtual console, ensure backward compatibility, fix the joycon drift, improve the build quality of the machine? No point worrying and doing nothing about it.
The content of the article and statement from the FTC do not explicitly state what these "dark patterns" are, or how Epic offended against the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. It also didn't explicitly state that the violation was in Fortnite. It could be some other game like candy crush or something? I think a lot of free to play games violate privacy and endanger children by having strangers voices appear in your living room as a default option. Who knows what the actual problem was?
If it is cloud, I don't think it needs a rating. It's not like it is even running on the console. It's running on a computer, somewhere else. Surely it is already licensed for PC?
The issue wasnt with the controller or advert for me. It was that the console had no games I wanted to play. I was tempted with wind waker, much later on but just got an old GameCube copy and played it on my original Wii.
I understand that voice chat is not going to be allowed on Nintendo consoles, with kids mixing with teens and the first-time-gamer user base, who will be shocked. Nintendo does not want to be associated with the trash talk you hear on other platforms. I don't see it happening and, while it may be an unpopular opinion, I think it makes sense. Just use your phone to talk to people.
Switch had the potential to become a portable GameCube or Wii, and would have been if they hadn't cancelled virtual console. Graphics < Gameplay < Greed
I can count the number of times a voice actor has impacted my gaming experience on zero fingers. I suppose everyone deserves their 10 seconds of fame. Moving on...
I didn't want this game. I have the other 2 and find them boring. This nonsense about boycotting for spurious reasons has made me want to buy the game.
The scripts, plot and voice acting have always been terrible in these games. I don't know how this 'voice actor' can take this job seriously. It is just a hammy British accent that lots of people can do. I seriously can't tell the difference between voice actors. Also this person calling to cancel the game, she's never going to get a job talking into a microphone ever again. Would you hire someone who is likely to badmouth you on the internet?
@ParadoxFawkes I also got something from china with gyro, rumble and wireless and a glowing light round the joysticks for some reason. Can't buy these hori things when they only do 1/4 of the job.
I got bored half way through all three, plus the Travis Returns game and turned them all off. Would I buy another one? ... I want to say no, but I do stupid things sometimes.
I think owning an original copy of the game, gives you more legal options when it comes to emulating. It certainly gives more ease of access after Nintendo discontinues their online 'services'.

Re: Talking Point: Does Nintendo's Next Console Have To Be 'Another' Switch?
If Nintendo mess up like the Wii U again we might see N64 and GameCube minis being produced to make some revenue.
Re: Talking Point: In 2023, Do You Still Care About amiibo?
I have a special 3rd party token that imitates any amiibo, that I can use if Nintendo locks future content behind an amiibo. I'll still buy cool looking amiibo as a figure, but not to access part of a game I have already bought.
Re: UK Charts: Switch Maintains Strong Representation In A Pretty Quiet Week
Mario kart is a must buy for all new owners of a Switch. As for good new games on Switch... 😭
Re: NYXI Reveals A GameCube-Inspired Switch Controller With No Drifting
While I always wanted something like this, the absence of a GameCube virtual console makes it a bit useless.

Downloaded Night Slashers. Also got a Steam Deck in the post, so I might have a few more handheld options soon.

Re: Nintendo Launches Huge Cyber Deals Sale Starting Today, Up To 50% Off Switch eShop Games (North America)
@FeiFongWong26 if you get Gal Gun on switch, you can play it in a cupboard or under the bed.
Re: Random: Move Over Apple, You Can Run Mac OS On The Wii
I love Wii! It was like a GameCube with waggle sticks.
Re: Review: Resident Evil 3 - Cloud Version - Disappointingly Constrained And Very Short
How about the original playstation games? They could put RE 1, 2, directors cut and possibly code Veronica in a collection. At least they would run.
Re: Nintendo Launches Huge Cyber Deals Sale Starting Today, Up To 50% Off Switch eShop Games (North America)
Gal Gun 2 is 85% off at $4.49. Gun Gun Pixies is 90% off at $4.99. if you like that sort of thing.
Re: Soapbox: After 10 Years I Finally Got A Wii U, Here’s What I Thought
Wii U has virtual console? Is this the Switch successor people keep talking about?

Re: Review: RWBY: Arrowfell - Passable Action Platforming With Buried Potential
I'll check this out when I feel like playing a mediocre game.
Re: Feature: Wii U Vs. Switch - How Did Those Nintendo Hardware Reveal Trailers Compare?
The issue wasnt with the controller or advert for me. It was that the console had no games I wanted to play. I was tempted with wind waker, much later on but just got an old GameCube copy and played it on my original Wii.
Re: Random: Every Issue Of Nintendo Power Is Now Available To Download
To be able to read these on your switch would be a good addition to Nintendo Switch Online. Not enough for me to pay for it, but a good addition.
Re: Nintendo Considering "Various Initiatives" And "Further Enhancements" For The Switch Online Service

Re: Random: No, Nintendo Of America Didn't Tweet A Pic Of Mario Flipping The Bird
I don't care about the significance of memes, little throwaway sentences and whatnot. Sentences a bit like this one.
Re: Nintendo's Q1-2 Digital Sales Make Up Over 50% Of All Software Revenue
I'm fine with digital only, if Nintendo stops pretending they need parity with retail (who get 50% mark up), and make all games 30usd at launch.
Re: Nintendo Reconfirms Release Windows For Major Upcoming Switch Games
They should make a 3rd person Metroid game with the BOTW engine.
Re: Review: Ghost Song - A Potent Mix Of Metroid And Dark Souls, But Maybe Not On Switch
I'll look into how bad the performance is, but either way, I will not pay much at all for a game that doesn't work as intended.
Re: Poll: Is The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack Good Enough Value Yet?
I would love a Snes games collection on a physical cartridge.
Re: Grab Your Torch, Alan Wake Remastered Is Out Now On Nintendo Switch
It's nice when a game I want to play is on Switch.
Re: Resident Evil 2, 3 And 7 Cloud Lock In Nintendo Switch Release Dates
They should release the ps1 games. They would run native. Code Veronica too.
Re: Bayonetta 3's New Voice Actor Asks Everyone To "Just Be Good To Each Other"
@iaLgan Metal gear solid has good voice acting, but the game holds up on its own.

Re: Talking Point: Given The Voice Artist Controversy, Will You Be Boycotting Bayonetta 3?
I didn't want this game. I have the other 2 and find them boring. This nonsense about boycotting for spurious reasons has made me want to buy the game.

Re: Talking Point: Which Animation Studios Should Tackle Nintendo's Other Franchises?
I would rather see a live action Metroid, without Brie Larson.
Re: Bayonetta's OG Voice Actor Asks Fans To "Boycott" Third Game After PlatinumGames Wage Fallout
I find it shocking that she drew a parallel between herself to a nurses visiting food banks. So entitled.
Re: Hori Reveals New Pokémon-Themed Designs For The Switch Split Pad Fit
@ParadoxFawkes I also got something from china with gyro, rumble and wireless and a glowing light round the joysticks for some reason. Can't buy these hori things when they only do 1/4 of the job.
Re: 'Try Before You Buy' eShop Sale Offers Biggest Discount Yet On Metroid Dread (North America)
All these games often go cheaper at retail. There are more options than the eShop.
Re: Review: Moonscars - A Brutal, Beautiful Soulslike In Need Of A Performance Patch
Performance issues in a 2D pixel art game? Maybe the devs should get a different job?
Re: Overwatch 2 Player Calculates '5 Year' F2P Grind To Unlock New Hero's Cosmetics
There are frightening 1960s dystopian scifi stories about people wasting their survival rations, trading them for costumes for their dolls.
Re: Overwatch 2 Player Calculates '5 Year' F2P Grind To Unlock New Hero's Cosmetics
Suddenly paying $60 for a proper game feels much more of an attractive option.
Re: Review In Progress: No Man's Sky - Right Up There With The Very Best Switch Ports
@GrailUK ahh yes, I agree. I would love for Prime 4 to have a usable ship.
Re: Review In Progress: No Man's Sky - Right Up There With The Very Best Switch Ports
Shame there is no talk of a Samus ship and suit for Switch. Missed opportunity.
Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of Mario's Movie Voice?

Re: OlliOlli World Is Getting A Physical Switch Release, Except It Isn't
I like having the cartridge so I can swap or lend the game to friends.
