Re: Don't Worry, You Won't Lose Your Animal Crossing: New Horizons Island On Switch 2

"or a chat with Nintendo to get your data transferred via the cloud"

I don't know about other people but my personal experience is "oh, so you forgot to use the tool and formatted the old console? You can leave closing the door and start your island, no matter the cloud backup, it's a different console so we'll not allow to move to the new system", then I had to accept I was losing 600 hours invested on my island. I'll be hesitant about this until I see it.

Re: Pocketpair Recalls "Depressing Day" Nintendo Announced Its Palworld Lawsuit

Olrun

Before saying anything - I've not played yet Palworld (survival games aren't my favourite thing) and I'm not happy with the lawsuit, sometimes Nintendo/TPCi goes too far and in this case filling new patents is not an exception.

BUT. Weren't these guys saying in the past they don't mind copying anyone as far as they do fun games? It was pretty clear this could be happening any time. Also if the patent involved the capture items and such, why not just tweaking them? Pretty sure they'll do it at the end, but meanwhile they have free advertisement with the whole situation.

I dunno, I don't like this situation at all but I'm pretty sure they knew too well what they were doing.

Re: Capcom Slashes The Price Of Monster Hunter, Ace Attorney In Big eShop Sale (US)

@Servbot_EJ @WarioInAHardees any MH game with friends is a nice entry point, but just for comfortably World, Rise or Wilds just for not loading screens between zones. All of them are great and "different" enough each other to be enjoyable, still if switch is your only console or way to play, Rise is the only one available.
Must say it's sorcery how good it looks and how good the performance is, surely one of the best looking games in the entire console.

Still playing the Witcher! Finished the base game a couple of days ago (holy cow almost 100 hours) and starting today blood and wine dlc. As my backlog in switch is pretty low I'm tempted to focus on Steam games until switch 2 is released so I have a couple of games for it. Happy gaming everyone!

Re: Talking Point: Can Sony And Microsoft Really Compete With Nintendo In A New 'Handheld War'?

Olrun

No chance, basically:
-People buy nintendo consoles for their exclusives, handheld/hybrid is a nice addition that made switch more popular
-if Sony tries to go with a console that could move ps5 game it will be REALLY expensive, which will affect sales. Checking development times of Sony if they try to do a lower version with its own games it will be dead on release
-there are already handheld consoles that can play pc games and game pass so a Microsoft handheld console is no really necessary

I wish any of these could work, I still use my vita and my psp, but...

It's been a couple of really chaotic weeks for me so finally I can put some time into gaming. Started Dragon quest monsters and discovered a couple of days ago that Monster Hunter Diary FINALLY got a fan translation, which I've wanted to play since PSP era. So ya know the plan ;D Happy gaming everyone!
