@thesilverbrick Ok, but that's my point you just named two third party developers (even though ubisoft may have had Nintendo's help). Everyone knows Nintendo is top tier when it comes to compressing their own games. So why compare RL to them, when you have two examples of third party compression right there.
To address your original point though. I currently have 16 games on my console with 6 being physical. I also bought a 128 GB card (last black friday), and I still have another 69 GB's left on it. Personally, I don't see lack of space being a problem for me any time soon, but I do agree I would like updates to take up a little less data.
@RedMageLanakyn You're right it can be used on different platforms, but depending on what platforms you have to use it will be locked to a single console.
@Alikan I believe it's because the developer creating the game is pretty large, which people assume means quality. And people feel a sense of pride that it can only be played on their console, plus people just like spiderman haha.
“we don't believe Crazy Justice is an inferior experience, and we don't even consider our game to be at a disadvantage if Fortnite happens to release for Nintendo Switch during E3.”
In all honesty everything I’ve seen of the game so far seems like they are making very slow progress. I don’t have faith that all the “unique” features they mentioned will be out in a timely manner. And the idea of a Battle Royale game without set character stats seems ridiculous.
@Brandles That's essentially it, just looking through client files to see if any files stand out. In this case, I guess there were locked files in the demo client that revealed the new characters.
@Yorumi Ok do you mind elaborating on why it shouldn't be compared to netflix? As the comparison seems perfectly logical to me. Both industries have streaming, digital, and physical aspects to their business model.
@rjejr It would be considered a positive term for sure, which delaying a far too soon sequel to one of the worst video game pr jobs I’ve seen recently, is the opposite of.
@rjejr I feel like this case will be swayed heavily depending on whether or not they took action against motorola's product as well. That seems to be the exact same product, as you place the controller on an already purchased device. Rather than in the Switch's case, it's something that comes as a default controller set.
As far as the wikipad goes you appear to be placing the tablet into a grip fitted with a controller, while with the switch you just place controllers onto the tablet itself.
Meh either way I don't feel like they could get away with the whole "we already have a product out there, and Nintendo's crushing are dreams" argument. Their site seemingly hasn't been updated since launch atleast 4/5 years. They don't appear to be putting any real money towards advertisements, as their previous lawsuit was the first time I've ever heard of this device. And as I said above if they didn't move in on Motorola, it may really show they are not concerned with trying to stir up some sales.
@Kalmaro All life experiences can be found in Mario games clearly.
@Smigit Well I assumed someone has gotten a higher score since then, but I was referring to the first to break a million record specifically. Which he was second to do, but now is first.
@YummyHappyPills Seems like a bit of a stretch. Whatever the reason is for it not launching on the Switch, I fail to see a reason not for it not to come personally.
@Damo The games to me are two entirely different experiences. It's like saying an RPG is a clone of another RPG while ignoring extreme gameplay differences.
@QwertyQwerty You seem to be focusing on the themes, while I am focused on what can be found in the game.
"Players use guns, explosives, sci-fi weapons, hatchets to kill human enemies, as well as some dogs, resulting in a lot of blood, gore, dismemberment, screams of pain. Scenes of female nudity, including a shot of a topless woman in bed. Player hears two people having sex, and then see them engaging in it while clothed. Frequent use of "f--k," "s--t," "motherf----r," "[removed]" the "N" word, as well as comments that are racist, anti-Semitic, homophobic."
@subpopz Meh they probably were not sure how it would be received and played it safe. It's one thing to shove out a crap 3D sonic, it's another to shove out a crap 2D one.

@Crono1973 Right, I'm sure having your account locked to a single system isn't important.
Re: Rocket League Is Getting A Fortnite-Inspired 'Rocket Pass'
@thesilverbrick Why are you comparing the size difference between a third party game and first party?

@Aozz101x There’s literally no comparison between this game and Splatoon other than the colors. Completely different game genres.

Re: Rocket League's Tournaments Update Will Go Live On Switch On 3rd April
@SilentHunter382 Actually since launch the game has been locked at 720p in Docked mode. So this is a bit of an upgrade whichever option you choose.
Re: Hardware Review: Nintendo Switch Pro Controller
@Sub-Dominance Took awhile for me to find that post, yeah that's what I mean.
Re: Rocket League's Tournaments Update Will Go Live On Switch On 3rd April
For anyone wondering the added visual features should include:
Performance Mode - 900p (Docked) / 720p (Handheld) @ 60 FPS with infrequent dynamic resolution scaling
Quality Mode - Native 1080p (Docked) / 720p (Handheld) @ 30 FPS with added visual effects
