@sketchturner I understand. Personally I just have my PC hooked up to my TV like a console anyway, so I play it at parties all the time, but the switch portability is nice.
@sketchturner If you can, get the Steam version of rivals of aether. It has very easy to use mod integration, and people have made amazing characters from across all sorts of video games and other media.
That trailer was shockingly underwhelming to me. The lack of voice acting especially is just so bad. I really want to love pokemon again, but I think I'm just too old.
@somebread that's actually not true. Only if you want to play online are the characters locked. If you play locally against someone you get every character. I did this last night.
@Freek Agreed, they are pretty awful. I only use them attached to the switch. The pro controller on the other hand, is one of the best and sturdiest controllers I've ever used.
I know this is a Nintendo fan site, so fanboys will fanboy, but this game is actually pretty great and quite different from smash. You can play locally with other players and every character is immediately unlocked as well.
If Prime one is more like a Crash Bandicoot NSane trilogy kind of remaster, then I'll take it. Hopefully it doesn't just look like Prime 1, but on Dolphin emulator.
I don't like the sound of that "summoning characters from the past" thing. Hopefully that's not a main mechanic or part of the story. Usually stories suffer when crossover stuff is involved.
@RubyCarbuncle As someone who kind of wants the Steam Deck, why do you regret it? I didn't end up buying one because I have a laptop, which I can technically take places, but it's less convenient.
I think there could have been a better way that "mammalians" could have been done besides just taking the octolings and making their tentacles furry. Maybe give them real people hair mixed with octopus tentacles or something.
This sounds okay. I loved the original, but dont know if I need to pay 60 dollars for it again. After playing the online test thing I'm glad I'm not getting it day one. Would rather save the money for Fire Emblem 3 Hopes.
Not sure why Nintendo Life didn't mention this in their review. You need to UNLOCK multiplayer to play it, which involves beating the whole game in singleplayer first.

I have to get me a steam deck. Not for pirating, but it's so good looking.

Re: Poll: Is It Just Us, Or Was That Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Trailer A Little Confusing?
It's because there's no voice acting, which makes everything seem weirdly quiet.
Re: Where To Pre-Order Pokémon Scarlet And Violet On Switch
That trailer was shockingly underwhelming to me. The lack of voice acting especially is just so bad. I really want to love pokemon again, but I think I'm just too old.
Re: Metroid Prime Dev Retro Studios Pitched A Zelda Game Called 'Heroes Of Hyrule'
This would've been cool! I'd love a tactics game set in zelda lore.

Metroid prime pleeeeeeaaaaassseeee
Re: The Pokémon Company Is Suing Chinese Publishers Over Copyright Infringment
Good! I usually don't cheer for huge corporations, but that's some OBVIOUS STOLEN MATERIAL.

Re: 8BitDo Reveals New 'Ultimate' Controller Range, Compatible With Switch
@NiallMitch14 I basically only game in switch and PC. Would you say the 8bitdo you have is better than an Xbox controller?
Re: 8BitDo Reveals New 'Ultimate' Controller Range, Compatible With Switch
Or you could just get a switch pro controller which works on PC AND has better rumble.
Re: Sonic Frontiers Switch File Size Seemingly Revealed
I'm gonna get this on PC. I don't think the Switch version will run too well.
Re: Game Freak Confirms Pokémon Legends: Arceus Started Development Before Sword & Shield's Launch
@Zorox88 Yeah ORAS was the last Pokemon game I was addicted to. Arceus was pretty good too, but I stopped playing after a beat it.
Re: Game Freak Confirms Pokémon Legends: Arceus Started Development Before Sword & Shield's Launch
3 years development? I think Gamefreak... may just not be a good developer... lol
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Pac-Man World: Re-Pac
I think they remade the wrong game. I feel like Pacman World 2 is much better.
Re: Yep, Big The Cat Has Been Spotted In Sonic Frontiers
Don't have a PS5 and I'm just going to wait for Ragnarok to come to PC, so I'm fine just getting this game instead.
Re: The Aya Neo Air Is A $600 Switch Lite-Sized Pocket PC
Maybe I'll get this...

Re: Valve's Steam Client Beta Adds Support For Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Controllers
@Freek Agreed, they are pretty awful. I only use them attached to the switch. The pro controller on the other hand, is one of the best and sturdiest controllers I've ever used.

Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Datamine Might Have Leaked Details About Future DLC Tracks
Big mistake that they didn't include new characters and costumes as well.
Re: Review: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 - An Epic, Emotionally-Charged Masterpiece
Is there an actual way point marker now? One of the reasons I gave up playing 2, was due to how terrible it was to navigate the world.
Re: Nintendo Showcases Orchestral Version Of Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Theme
They need to showcase the game too.
Re: Square Enix Confirms It's Making Final Fantasy NFTs
Please kindly **** off.

Sword Art Licorice. Delicious
Re: Pac-Man World Re-PAC Is A Welcome Surprise, Launching This August
Nier, Persona, and this were thr highlights for me!
Re: Rumour: Metroid Prime Remaster Apparently Lined Up For November, Prime 2 And 3 To Follow
If Prime one is more like a Crash Bandicoot NSane trilogy kind of remaster, then I'll take it. Hopefully it doesn't just look like Prime 1, but on Dolphin emulator.
Re: Nintendo Direct Mini To Air Tomorrow, June 28
Lol Nintendo's shown their hand for this year. We got Splatoon 3, Pokemon, and Xenoblade for the rest of the year. Time to wrap it up folks.
Re: Review: Neon White - A Thrilling, Hilarious Genre Hybrid That You Simply Must Check Out
Is the performance at 60 fps on Switch? Only thing keeping me from choosing between Switch or steam.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Leaker Shares Details Of A New "Finished" Fire Emblem On Switch
I don't like the sound of that "summoning characters from the past" thing. Hopefully that's not a main mechanic or part of the story. Usually stories suffer when crossover stuff is involved.
Re: "Lightning-Fast" Action-FPS Bright Memory: Infinite Is Coming To Nintendo Switch
Lol I might buy this just for the gimmick.
Re: Persona 3, 4, and 5 Seemingly Confirmed For Everything But Switch
@RubyCarbuncle I gotcha. Yeah, I think I prefer the bigger screen too. I mostly play switch docked anyway.
Re: Persona 3, 4, and 5 Seemingly Confirmed For Everything But Switch
@RubyCarbuncle As someone who kind of wants the Steam Deck, why do you regret it? I didn't end up buying one because I have a laptop, which I can technically take places, but it's less convenient.
Re: Persona 3, 4, and 5 Seemingly Confirmed For Everything But Switch
How about we fill out another survey?
Re: Game Freak Had Plans For 65,535 Versions Of The Original Pokémon Game
The cartridges wouldn't be different. Just sounds like the game will randomize stuff when it boots up for the first time.
Re: Nintendo Gives Us A Closer Look At Splatoon 3's Octolings
I think there could have been a better way that "mammalians" could have been done besides just taking the octolings and making their tentacles furry. Maybe give them real people hair mixed with octopus tentacles or something.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Mario Strikers: Battle League

Re: Random: Pokémon Voice Actor Shares His Take On Shadow The Hedgehog
Sounds good! I would have him yell a bit less though.
Re: Apparently There's A 1-2-Switch Sequel In The Works At Nintendo, And Everyone Hates It
A jackbox style game that actually uses Smart Phones could be really cool actually! This sounds awful though.
Re: Review: Pocky & Rocky Reshrined - A Thrilling New Interpretation Of A SNES Classic
Not sure why Nintendo Life didn't mention this in their review. You need to UNLOCK multiplayer to play it, which involves beating the whole game in singleplayer first.
Re: Random: It Looks Like Activision Blizzard's 'Diversity Tool' Analysed Super Mario And Co. Years Ago
The only lack of diversity I see is skin color. Sexual orientation literally does not matter in a game like Mario.
Re: Watch A Full Match Of Mario Strikers: Battle League From Nintendo France
I don't really need a story mode, but this better have some singleplayer cups we can work through like in the originals.
Re: Atlus Wants To Know If You Would Like More Nintendo Switch Games
Not filling it out. I already did last year. The answer is always yes, but I doubt they will listen.
Re: Reggie Doesn't Seem To Think Nintendo Has "Abandoned" F-Zero, Says There's Still Hope
There's nothing that NEEDS innovating though. Just give it nice graphics and online multiplayer.
