Blatant marketing. This is how he was always going to look. Movie will likely suck either way but hats off to them. They've now got people excited about something they otherwise wouldn't be. Smart move.
I'd like to think it's because the Brits have more sense than to buy a console that will inevitably drift. Once Nintendo sorts out that problem, then and only then will I entertain the idea of a Switch Lite.
It's third party so it can be on whatever it wants, I guess...
I can see how this could be beneficial for Level-5, though. I don't think the franchise took off the way they'd hoped, at least not in the west. The PS4 is big in the west however, so they might get more exposure there.
In regards to cross play it'd be nice if they could matchmake via controller input so controllers will play with controllers and mouse users with mouse users, etc.
Anyway, I am not interested in the game full stop but if I were a fan I'd hate to start again.
This also would make me worry that the online 'servers' might be dead on Switch.
Am I understanding this wrong? I thought with game pass you had to download the games. Wouldn't all those games need to be ported to Switch? Or is gamepass streaming?
Whatever the case, how does this work out for Microsoft? Why would I buy the Next Box when I can play their games on my Nintendo?
Tbh after this generation I'm not even sure I'm going to bother with the next Xbox.
I don't eat meat (ew), and while I personally wouldn't mind seeing this sorta stuff in game it is actually pretty cool and progressive to add the option. Good for them I guess.
I'd buy Shadows of the Empire for Switch.... but if I wanted it for N64 then I'd just get the original. I'm assuming they're only producing NTSC carts anyway, so no use to me.
@SMGstudio It's a great game. Have you considered seperating the sound effects (guns, explosions), from the voices? It'd be nice to turn the voices off while keeping the gun noises. Also touch support? Seems strange that there isn't any, but it's a fun game regardless. Thanks for the reply.
@SMGstudio I downloaded your game. It's great fun, thank you. Do you have any plans for more TD games in the future? Are there going to be any future patches?
I've been wondering - perhaps someone here knows. You know the eShop charts, it says at the bottom 'the most downloaded software from the last two weeks' or whatever? Well, is it updated every day? Real time? Once a week on Thursdays? It'd be interesting to know.
Ah yes! I remember. I got Kamiko ages ago, just after it released. It was hard to avoid the praise it was getting! ...and it was so cheap!
You buy it and then very quickly realise it's one of those 'Oooh it's good for the price, but not actually very good' kinda games. Just do some research as I was let down by this one.
Tempted by OTT TD but I already have Defense Grid 2... and I doubt it'll live up to that. Might be worth a shot though? Have any of you guys played it?
To those unaware - if you sign up to Qubic games' newsletter, you get Robonauts for free. If you have Robonauts you also get Geki Yaba Runner Anniversary Edition for free (released today). I know they're probably not winning game of the year, but £0 is kinda my limit for spending on games atm, so Thank You Qubic Games!
It's a shame that it's so cack because I really do like the idea of low-poly as a throwback. Hopefully someone else steps up with a similar, yet well executed premise.
Imagine how stoked this indie must be with the backing of the Zelda brand. I'm not interested (tried the first game and it wasn't for me), but I do wish them success.
Perhaps if Elon Musk's broadband satellite thingy is a success, then that will allow things like streaming to finally become mainstream. Until we've all got good internet, I can't see it taking off. Nintendo should rightly keep an eye on it though, but they've got several physical consoles left at the very least, IMO.

Re: Analysts Agree That Switch Will Be King In 2020, Less Sure About The Switch Pro
I can't see Nintendo doing 4K for a while yet. We've only just got a 720p screen. 1080p, at best.
A pro model might hurt the brand if released too close to a Switch 2, so in my opinion they should pick one or the other.
Re: Rocket League Dev Reduces Item Shop And Blueprint Pricing, As It "Did Not Meet Community Expectations"
I'll buy the game once all micro transactions have been removed. So I'll never play RL.
Re: Sonic's Movie Redesign Reportedly Cost Paramount Less Than $5 Million
Blatant marketing. This is how he was always going to look. Movie will likely suck either way but hats off to them. They've now got people excited about something they otherwise wouldn't be. Smart move.
Re: Video: Oh Boy, Sonic's Movie Redesign Is Revealed In Brand New Trailer
I hope they release the original as a special feature on Blu ray or something.
Re: Amazon Clamps Down On The Sale Of Used Nintendo Games
This is why competition is good. Back to eBay, guys!
Re: Nintendo Finally Hints That It Has Ditched Game Development On The 3DS
I went crazy for 3DS over its lifespan. I have 5 different models of the thing with about 150 games.
It's sad to see it go in a way. Loved StreetPass. So many hours spent on Monster Hunter... or New Leaf, or countless others.
But in the same breath it's totally dated and I'm happy for Nintendo to lay it to rest.
Re: Street Fighter Producer Says Fans Need To "Convince" Nintendo, If They Want More Entries On Switch
I think Nintendo would be happy with any of Capcom's games releasing.
Re: Australian Rating Could Mean We're Getting GTA III On Switch
The heck is wrong with you all? The game is an absolute classic that holds up brilliantly. Think I'm getting old, lol.
Re: Nintendo Switch Lite Has Slow Start In UK, But Retailers Expect That To Change
I'd like to think it's because the Brits have more sense than to buy a console that will inevitably drift. Once Nintendo sorts out that problem, then and only then will I entertain the idea of a Switch Lite.
Re: Yo-Kai Watch 4 Will No Longer Be A Nintendo Switch Exclusive
It's third party so it can be on whatever it wants, I guess...
I can see how this could be beneficial for Level-5, though. I don't think the franchise took off the way they'd hoped, at least not in the west. The PS4 is big in the west however, so they might get more exposure there.
Either way I see no harm in this being multiplat.
Re: Blizzard Has No Plans To Add Cross-Platform Progression To Overwatch Right Now
In regards to cross play it'd be nice if they could matchmake via controller input so controllers will play with controllers and mouse users with mouse users, etc.
Anyway, I am not interested in the game full stop but if I were a fan I'd hate to start again.
This also would make me worry that the online 'servers' might be dead on Switch.
Re: Yacht Club Games Officially Reveals The Shovel Knight Gold Edition amiibo
Are amiibo even still used in games? What's the purpose of them? Collectibles?
Re: Bulletstorm Just Blew Up On The Switch eShop, And Here's What It Looks Like
Would love Duke 3D on Switch.
Re: Microsoft Reiterates That It Would Like To See Xbox Game Pass On Other Platforms
Am I understanding this wrong? I thought with game pass you had to download the games. Wouldn't all those games need to be ported to Switch? Or is gamepass streaming?

Re: EA Looking To Bring More Of Its Successful Games To Switch
Plants Vs Zombies is all I want from them. Maybe Dead Space.
Re: Review: Turok 2: Seeds of Evil - A Painfully Incomplete Version Of An N64 Classic
I'll pick both Turok games up eventually, but I really hope they patch in the rest of the game.
Re: Video: See How Long The Switch Revision Can Play Zelda: Breath Of The Wild On Max Settings
Great for those just buying a Switch. I would love the extended battery life, but not enough to buy a new one. I'll wait for Switch 2.0.
Re: The UK Is Finally Getting Its Very Own Pokémon Center
Don't you mean it'll be the first ever centre? ...eheh
Re: Reminder: This Is Your Last Chance To Buy Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers (North America)
Random how it's limited time in the USA. Was it just not successful?
Re: Nintendo To Reportedly Fix Joy-Con Drift For Free, Will Refund Customers Who Paid
Please say the UK branch is getting involved, as I have several pairs that need fixing.
Re: Two More Classic Star Wars Games Get A Limited Run Later This Week
I'd buy Shadows of the Empire for Switch.... but if I wanted it for N64 then I'd just get the original. I'm assuming they're only producing NTSC carts anyway, so no use to me.
Re: Poll: Have Your Joy-Con Been Drifting?
My launch edition grey Switch - took about a year but now drifts constantly.
My girlfriend's neon Switch - about a year newer than mine, drifts every time it's used.
My best friend's Switch - less than a month old, drifting.
My brother's Switch...
You get the picture.
Re: It’s Official: The Switch Online Service Has Surpassed 10 Million Subscribers
They'll have to do something pretty special to make me sign back up when my subscription ends.

Re: Kamiko Has Now Sold More Than 250,000 Copies On The Switch eShop
I can't believe how many people sing its praises. It's mediocre at best.
Re: Reminder: Get Up To 80% Off In This Switch eShop Sale Celebrating Indie Devs Down Under
@SMGstudio It's a great game. Have you considered seperating the sound effects (guns, explosions), from the voices? It'd be nice to turn the voices off while keeping the gun noises.
Also touch support? Seems strange that there isn't any, but it's a fun game regardless. Thanks for the reply.
Re: Reminder: Get Up To 80% Off In This Switch eShop Sale Celebrating Indie Devs Down Under
@SMGstudio I downloaded your game. It's great fun, thank you. Do you have any plans for more TD games in the future? Are there going to be any future patches?
Re: Review: Slender: The Arrival - A Bland And Bare Take On Slenderman Horror
At least it's cheap. welp
Re: Cadence Of Hyrule Was The Most Downloaded Game On Switch Last Week In Japan
I've been wondering - perhaps someone here knows. You know the eShop charts, it says at the bottom 'the most downloaded software from the last two weeks' or whatever? Well, is it updated every day? Real time? Once a week on Thursdays? It'd be interesting to know.

Re: Virtua Racing And Wonder Boy: Monster Land Arrive In The West At The End Of June
Is it out in the UK? Virtua Racing would be fun... ahh the memories.
Re: Nintendo Download: 6th June (Europe)
Tempted by Onimusha. I'll have to do some research to see if it's a good port. Finally a reason to scratch off that £15 eShop card.
Re: Solomon's Key Joins Hamster's Arcade Archives Series On The Nintendo Switch
Think of it like this: if your NSO subscription ends, you can keep playing this version.
Re: New Banjo-Kazooie Merch Fuels Fresh Speculation Over A Series Revival
I'd be stoked for: Banjo-Threeie, Banjo in Smash, Rare Replay on Switch... basically give us anything, please.
Re: Review: Among the Sleep: Enhanced Edition - Has Some Growing Up To Do
If it has a very heavy discount, say maybe 80%, I'll pick it up. Maybe during Halloween.
Re: Feature: The Black Shark 2 Is A Phone That Thinks It's A Nintendo Switch
At least you can play the Whitehead version Sonic games on it! With buttons! Woop. Not buying one though, of course.

Re: 3DS System Update 11.10.0-43 Is Now Live
I'm guessing they're never getting rid of the miiverse icon, then.

I'm happy with them on 3DS so won't bother with the Switch versions... but still, great to see them get a new release!
Re: Check Out The Title Screen Music Of This Mario Kart 64 Prototype
When was a MK64 prototype found and how have I not heard about this?
Re: Team Sonic Racing Is The Same Experience Across All Platforms
If Mario Kart can be 60FPS then so should this game. All I'm worried about is framerate, as it's a racer.
