@Crono1973 Thats... not it. It's because there are two pokemon games coming out so close to each other. 2 months is not a long time for casual gamers. And yes, I know Arceus is going to be "different". But it still is another pokemon themed jrpg.
They wouldn't have this feedback if they didn't keep rushing these games out. My fans literally just want a difficulty slider and no forced experience share.
I wouldn't ever call an individual developer lazy. But a studio or publisher? Definitely. Many of the decisions Nintendo makes for example, I would call lazy. Or if not lazy, then sloppy.
And when people say "oh awesome online N64 games!" I have to roll my eyes. Have fun getting a group of people together who are all paying for this, to play 4 player Mario Kart 64. If nintendo included a matchmaking option with this, it may have made it worth it.
@russell-marlow Too true. You hit the nail on the head. There are much better options to play these games. Judging by the poll on this website, it seems like most people aren't planning on getting this as of now. So that's a good sign, at least for this demographic of hardcore fans.
Genesis games are such a waste on here anyway. There are much better ways to get those games on Switch. Whether with the enhanced ports, or the genesis collection. I'd be tempted of they threw in GameCube and GBA into the mix, but Genesis is basically nothing to me.
Saving my money for the Steam Deck instead of Oled. I play mostly docked anyway. I got Dread though, and it'd easily my game of the year. I was also worried, as Samus Returns was pretty average, but Dread is already my second favorite Metroid above Prime 1 but under Super right now.

Not wasting my time this year with watching. I'll just check the news sites next day.
Re: 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim On Switch Will Feature Brand New Bonus Content
They should have shown screenshots of the walking around bits. Those are much more interesting and are the main parts of the game.

Re: Atlus Brings 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim To Nintendo Switch On 12th April 2022
Okay now bring over aaaallll the other Vanillaware games to switch. I'd settle for even a PC release. Just save them from Playstation hell.
Re: Atlus Brings 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim To Nintendo Switch On 12th April 2022
Don't skip out on this game if you like visual novels! It's amazing.

Re: Here's How Diamond & Pearl Remake Sales Compare To Pokémon's Past Switch And 3DS Launches In Japan
I think a decent amount of people also may have skipped this game in favor of Arceus next year.

I'd pick it up for Switch if it came out.
Re: NEO: The World Ends With You Has 'Underperformed Expectations', Square Enix Says
I played the original but didn't get this one. I'm just over games about highschoolers in japan, personally. Same thing with anime.
Re: Pac-Man Museum+ Brings 14 Games In The Series To Switch
I love that little top down overworld thing. I might get this.

They wouldn't have this feedback if they didn't keep rushing these games out. My fans literally just want a difficulty slider and no forced experience share.
Re: Rumour: Metroid Prime Switch Remaster Is "Wrapped Up" According To Industry Insider
And I bet it'll be 60 bucks too for just the first game. Should be 40, given it's only the first one, and it's a remaster and not a remake.
Re: Random: A Signed Copy Of Shigeru Miyamoto's 1989 Business Card Has Gone Missing, And The Owner Wants It Back
The people saying they wouldn't sell it, seriously? I bet if someone offered you several thousands of dollars you would totally sell it.
Re: Soapbox: Can We Please Retire The Phrase 'Lazy Devs' Already?
I wouldn't ever call an individual developer lazy. But a studio or publisher? Definitely. Many of the decisions Nintendo makes for example, I would call lazy. Or if not lazy, then sloppy.

Hopefully we can get some concrete details about the post-game then before release.
Re: Review: World War Z - A Technically Robust But Repetitive Zombie Hunt Best Enjoyed With Friends
I actually think this is more of an 8/10, on other platforms of course.
Re: EA Boss Says NTFs Will Be An "Important Part" Of The Games Industry's Future
Can we just.... not please?
Re: Zombie Shooter 'World War Z' Fires Onto Switch Today
This game is amazing, but you can get it on other platforms for 40 dollars as well and with more content.
Re: Video: Pokémon Brilliant Diamond And Shining Pearl Treated To New Commercial
I am definitely not the target audience for pokemon anymore. I think it's time for me to move on.
Re: Nintendo Switch Online's N64 Games Need Some Work
Just map the c buttons to the right stick like a normal person. I'm not surprised though.
Re: Poll: N64 And Sega Genesis Nintendo Switch Online Games Launch Today - Which Will You Play First?
And when people say "oh awesome online N64 games!" I have to roll my eyes. Have fun getting a group of people together who are all paying for this, to play 4 player Mario Kart 64. If nintendo included a matchmaking option with this, it may have made it worth it.

Re: Poll: N64 And Sega Genesis Nintendo Switch Online Games Launch Today - Which Will You Play First?
Not giving them extra money for this. I personally hope this expansion pass thing fails.
Re: Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy Gets Confirmed Release Date, First Trailer And Screenshots
@Fran27 Nice thanks!
Re: Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy Gets Confirmed Release Date, First Trailer And Screenshots
Having never played one of these games, which one is the best? I doubt I'll be able to complete them all in quick succession.
Re: Talking Point: How Many Hours Is A 'Short' Game For You?
As a working adult 8 to 10 hours is my sweet spot for action games. Metroid dread was the perfect length
Re: Random: Uh-Oh, Nintendo's Switch Online 'Expansion Pack - Overview Trailer' Is Generating A Lot Of Dislikes
Genesis games are such a waste on here anyway. There are much better ways to get those games on Switch. Whether with the enhanced ports, or the genesis collection. I'd be tempted of they threw in GameCube and GBA into the mix, but Genesis is basically nothing to me.
Re: LEGO Sadly Rejects Zelda, Metroid And Animal Crossing Design Finalists
That sucks, but that office set is tempting...
Re: Exp. Share Supposedly Can't Be Turned Off In The Pokémon Diamond And Pearl Remakes
Limited TMs, but mandatory experience share? Why is the pokemon company like this? Looks like I'm skipping this one then.
Re: First Impressions: For Better Or Worse, Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl Look Like Extremely Safe Remakes
@shinesprites Okay so you CAN turn off exp share, unlike Sword and Shield?
Re: First Impressions: For Better Or Worse, Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl Look Like Extremely Safe Remakes
I won't be buying if exp share can't be turned off.
Re: First Impressions: For Better Or Worse, Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl Look Like Extremely Safe Remakes
Is it confirmed whether or not you can turn exp share off?

Free for everyone.
Re: Random: Nintendo America's President Doug Bowser Celebrates The Return Of Samus
Saving my money for the Steam Deck instead of Oled. I play mostly docked anyway. I got Dread though, and it'd easily my game of the year. I was also worried, as Samus Returns was pretty average, but Dread is already my second favorite Metroid above Prime 1 but under Super right now.
Re: Nintendo's Switch Exclusive Metroid Dread Is Already Being Emulated On PC
I'm not going to pirate games. But you can bet that if Nintendo offered it, I would absolutely play their games on PC.
