@BlueOcean If you post a comment, you should be ready to be quoted or replied to. You can't choose to get only replies you want. However, if you really don't want to read comments of some users, this website has an ignore feature. No user on this website can force you to read his comments. Anyway, I won't discuss this any further. I believe I've been very clear about this.
@Grumblevolcano "SMT V being in the January Switch event"
Has this been confirmed?
@JLPick "I don't remember much love for the first on PS3 when I played it."
The PS3 version is the worst version. You should enjoy it more on your Switch.
@BlueOcean I don't know what you mean by negative replies. It's normal to reply to opinions of others. It's called discussion. Anyway, you don't need to explain. I reply what and when I want to. As I said, if you don't want to read my comments, you can ignore me.
@8itmap_k1d Generally, exclusive games are better than multiplatform games. I believe that is partly because the developers don't have to worry about other platforms and can focus on a single platform. It's good for consumers in that aspect.
@OorWullie What do you mean? Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2 are $29.99 on Nintendo eShop.
@BlueOcean Most people don't have a Wii U. It's a simple and obvious truth, but as @Reignmaker mentioned, a port of a great Wii U game can sell like hot cakes. At least 56 million gamers don't have a Wii U.
@OorWullie I don't think Nintendo fans or fans of any platform are worse than the others. It's understandable that if you own a console, you want games to be released on it. I don't think it's a bad thing. It's normal. You are weird if you don't want that.
@gatorboi352 "You can't compare Switch to PS4/XB1 when things are in favor for Switch, yet turn around and say "well, Switch is just a portable" when things are not in favor of Switch."
When did Dom say that or did you put words in his month? Anyway, "the Switch is just a handheld console" is what most haters say.
This year hasn't ended yet. The Nintendo Switch sales in Japan will easily pass 3 million units by the end of this year. At this rate, it will outsell the PS4 in Japan in 2018.
@NintendoRob1977 There is no reason for that because the Wii U has been discontinued, and Nintendo wants to sell the Switch. Also, I don't think that Nintendo has a lot of Wii U in its stock. It has long been known that the Wii U is a failure.
@ThanosReXXX If I'm a developer, I won't like to be forbidden by a platform owner from doing things that other platform owners allow me to do. It's not that I agree with releasing huge patches, but to actually solve this problem, Sony, Microsoft, and Steam must have the same rule. If only Nintendo did that, many games would release late on the Switch, which would result in less revenues and profits for the developers. It would be like chasing them away.
As for the costs of the game cards, they will definitely reduce in time. The situation should be better in a few years. In my opinion, the storage issue is somewhat overblown. If you only buy physical copies and indie games, a 64 GB microSD card should be enough for a long time, and you can buy one for less than $15. Yes, it would be nice if you didn't have to buy it, but it's not expensive at all. If you only buy digital copies, the game cards are irrelevant.
@ThanosReXXX The Blu-ray Disc is a closed medium as well, and Sony and Microsoft don't do anything to prevent huge patches, and I don't think they should. Developers should have freedom to do anything they want with their games.
@BensonUii Aren't reviews mostly subjective? Reviews are essentially opinions of reviewers. Just because you agree with one reviewer, it doesn't mean that he's more credible than other reviewers.
@Mii_duck "Once Resi is downloaded do you need a server to play the main campaign? I appreciate it's relevant for Rocket League etc etc but for Resi?"
No, but in the future when the server is gone, you won't be able to re-download it if you delete it. If you buy a physical copy, you don't need to worry about that.
@Mii_duck The main point in buying a physical copy is that it's a tangible item that you can resell. Also, when the server isn't available anymore, you can still play the game.
@JaxonH I didn't know that this game supports HD rumble. Does this game use it only for the lock picking? Also, do you have a list of bugs that are present in other versions but fixed in the Switch version?
@gatorboi352 Then why do you continue to visit this website? I'm really curious. Since the release of the Switch, most news on this website are about Switch games, and it'll continue to be that way for several years.
@rjejr There are 3 perspectives: a handheld, a hybrid, and a home console. According to Nintendo, most players use it as a hybrid console. I don't know how accurate that is, though.
@Fairuse Nintendo doesn't forbid you from streaming or uploading videos, though. If you don't care about advertising revenues, you can upload as many Nintendo-related videos as you want, and you don't need to worry about revenues from your videos. Anyway, that person is just an attorney. He doesn't have the authority to decide that something is legal or illegal. He has to prove that to the courts of law. In my opinion, making money from a copyrighted work isn't fair use.
@Octane Maybe you misunderstand something. Streaming is no longer covered in the program, so you can't make money from it, and Nintendo doesn't get any revenues from it either. It isn't a demand. For some reason, Nintendo decided to exclude streaming from the program, and they accepted that they would lose revenues from that.
You can still stream Nintendo games, though, as long as your channel isn't registered with the program.

@rjejr I don't think Hey! Pikmin is Pikmin 4 unless something is lost in translation. Persona Q isn't Persona 5.

Re: Bayonetta 1 And 2 Are Getting A Special Edition Bundle With All The Trimmings
@hcfwesker Code takes tiny space. I think the file sizes will be bigger because it's likely that both games will run in 1080p.
Re: Bayonetta 1 And 2 Are Getting A Special Edition Bundle With All The Trimmings
@OorWullie I see. The Switch version will probably get cheaper after some time.
@NEStalgia "If the Japanese version has EN language....i'll import!"
That would be tempting.

@BlueOcean Read @gortsi's comment above.
Re: Bayonetta 1 And 2 Are Getting A Special Edition Bundle With All The Trimmings
@WhiteTrashGuy No, AFAIK, both games on the Wii U take up about 32 GB of storage space.

Re: Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2 Are Arriving on Switch in February
@Angelic_Lapras_King Very unlikely. It'll most likely be $59.99. You get two games.
Re: Bayonetta and Bayonetta 2 Are Arriving on Switch in February
@BensonUii They should. The Switch in handheld mode is roughly as powerful as the Wii U.
@GameOtaku Probably because Nintendo doesn't want to use two game cards. The Wii U version has two discs.

Do you have a link?
Re: Nintendo Switch Ends 2017 On A High With 2.5 Million Units Sold In Japan Alone
@BlueOcean You also have to take into account that the Switch had severe stock shortage issues, whereas the PS4 didn't.

Re: Digital Foundry Gives Its Analysis of L.A. Noire on Nintendo Switch

Re: Digital Foundry Gives Its Analysis of L.A. Noire on Nintendo Switch
@Agramonte I mean, when you hold it. The tablet with controller grips doesn't seem very convenient to hold for a long time.
Re: Digital Foundry Gives Its Analysis of L.A. Noire on Nintendo Switch
@Agramonte How convenient is it? From the picture, I think the Switch is the most convenient setup.
Re: Digital Foundry Gives Its Analysis of L.A. Noire on Nintendo Switch
@BlueOcean The Switch is about two times as powerful as the Wii U. I thought you realized that already.
Re: Switch Launches In South Korea In December, And The Software Lineup Is Incredible

Re: VS. Super Mario Bros. Arcade Archives Release Set for Festive Arrival on Switch
@electrolite77 I don't think it's intended, though. I'm sure that if Nintendo can release one million Zelda games tomorrow, they will do it.
Re: VS. Super Mario Bros. Arcade Archives Release Set for Festive Arrival on Switch
@GameOtaku The PS4 uses an x86-64 CPU, but the Switch uses an ARM CPU. The APIs are different. The code needs to be ported.
Re: VS. Super Mario Bros. Arcade Archives Release Set for Festive Arrival on Switch
@GameOtaku What do you mean by "dump"? This game and Neo Geo games on the Switch are ports. They aren't VC games.
Re: VS. Super Mario Bros. Arcade Archives Release Set for Festive Arrival on Switch
@GameOtaku Because it takes time to do that.

It also includes all the DLC.
Re: Review: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (Switch)
@Grogan The Switch version is the Special Edition, so it's not the same game as the game that was released in 2011.
