@Shiiva As someone who only occasionally fires up my PS4. Playing through FF7R has me frequently mix up whether to use O or X to confirm / cancel.
It would be nice if all consoles were consistent, but nope, they have to mess with us somehow. I'm glad computer OS's don't do this. Imagine if a standard right click required clicking the left mouse button on Linux.
It's really not that hard. Players that disconnect should ALWAYS get a loss. The remaining player(s) should ALWAYS get the win. And frequent disconnects should result in a temporary ban from online play.
I bought Mario rabbids at launch for full price with no regrets. I also didn't have much of a backlog at the time. Now I do, so outside of 1st party games, most other games can wait for a sale. 1st party games take too long to go on sale for me to wait for those.
@sixrings I like the idea of a dedicated site for each console. It mostly removes the console boy fan war nonsense. I follow NintendoLife, Pure xbox, and the Playstation blog. It's just more peaceful and comments tend to be more constructive in nature.
@TAndvig I vaguely recall reading something about that. Apparently, they listened to voices without ever seeing whose voice it was and ended up picking white people for black characters.
@Finalscourge English is hard. If I asked you the question, when was Rogue Legacy first released on Switch? Your answer might be: "It was first released on Switch in 2018."
This news has me way too hyped. I hope I'm not disappointed. I will replay every single 3D mario game that gets released. All of them. Hopefully, Mario Galaxy has some adjustments as that one went a bit overboard with the motion controls. Mario Galaxy 2 is definitely the best of them all, followed by 64 (or maybe 3D world). Really would like 3D world, because my son is big into New super mario bros and mario odyssey, and I think we'd both really enjoy playing through 3D world.
This would be incredible news, but this is also Nintendo we're talking about. We're just as likely to see a NES Remix style "remaster" of all of the previous Mario games. I'd probably still buy it, but I wouldn't be half as satisfied.
Animal crossing is literally the only game on the Switch where your profile doesn't have its own save file. Animal crossing is literally the only game on the Switch where you can start a game and be unable to complete it because you are waiting for someone else to do something on their profile. Animal crossing is literally the only game on the Switch where you could end up not getting the full experience playing on your profile.
Does it deserve a 10 for this? No. Does it deserve a 0? No.
But it is definitely game breaking for people that share a home console. Never has it been impossible to enjoy your own game without acquiring an entire new home console. It has only required new memory cards or new cartridges at worst.
@Krull I took a different approach with the game. I divided the 8 protagonists in two teams of 4. I completed chapters 1 - 4 for the 1st team, and then completely switched to the 2nd team and did their chapters 1 - 4.
So you can have 8 users on an island? If I have two switches with my profile on both Switches. Can I build a house on the island from switch #1 and then do wireless play with the same resident from Switch #2?
@Dringo I don't think Turok's price was too bad considering the amount of work put into it. At least it didn't get the Switch tax like so many other games did. It was released at the same price as it was on Steam / Xbox.
I'm intrigued and 3 years is plenty of time to add some more polish, world density, and improve the battle mechanics. Pokémon needs some competitors, or they'll just keep on lazily popping out sequels.
I'm not sure how they can make the drawing not cumbersome on the Switch. With a controller, the controls would be clunky. In handheld mode, you don't really have the screen space to support always showing the map. So you'd have to go in and out of the menu to do any drawing.
I had an N64 before I owned a Playstation. N64 has a special place in my heart. Even that "RPG" game called Quest 64. But mostly, N64 was great fun with friends. Mario Party before it started sucking. Hexen. Perfect Dark. Bomberman 64. WWF No Mercy. Killer Instinct Gold. Diddy Kong Racing.
Playstation had the best fighting games and RPGs. Marvel VS Capcom. Street Fighter EX. Tekken. Xenogears. Monster Rancher. Wu Tang. (I forgot the actual name)

The N64 console was rugged. The controllers could barely survive a couple rounds of Mario Party. And don't get me started on the controller paks.

This is not hard. This is not even new.

Re: Dragon Marked For Death Is No Longer Exclusive To The Nintendo Switch
My only complaint is that the game doesn't have same screen multi-player. If it did, I would have bought it a long time ago.
