I don't understand why they have changed the image ratio. Or you go 4:3 or 16:9 but not 8:5. What the heck is 8:5 ?
Another sad thing, they left the game at 240p which means that the upscale on an HD screen is going to be x4.5.
Times 4.5 = deformed graphics on the TV screen.
Even if I understand that the developers wanted to keep a sub-multiple of 720 to match the screen of the Switch perfectly (240 is 720/3), the result on the big TV screen is going to be messy.
Otherwise, cool game but I prefer to play it on my CRT with a Dreamcast hooked to it.
From my point of view, the music is just bad. I can clearly hear that the "compositions" are not made by a real musician. The game in itself is not bad but it borrows too much from other games (sprites and backgrounds).
The Switch is the new handheld from Nintendo in Japan. When I look back, from the Gameboys to the DSs, I think that the Switch does not that great. It's not bad but not great either.
What kind of rise the Nintendo's share price is going to reach when the investors will know that there is a new home console fully compatible with the Switch on the road and that it's coming in some months ?
I don't like to see a licence such as The Legend Of Zelda being developed by indie studios. This is like asking Mc Donald's to prepare a meal for Hilton's customers.
It's like Capcom is becoming a great company again. They started with Monster Hunter World and right after, Resident Evil 2 and now DMC 5. Really impressive.
The real problem is not only the low resolution and the missing of environmental details but the framerate. In a game like trial, 60fps is fundamental.
The only thing that I can say is that they plagiarized a lot.
The technical part is solid but everything else is, at best, mediocre.
The tune reminds me something but I can't remember what it is exactly.
I think they ripped off a track and modified it. It's clearly what they already did with the visuals.
This is what happen when your eyes are bigger than your belly. I was hoping for a good game but I felt kind of skeptical after the first video. That's sad.
This game is a beast. From the first second of the trailer I was sold. It's like the game ticks all the boxes. Ambiance, style, ideas, music, graphics, animations, everything is perfect. I love everything, absolutely everything. Thank you Platinum Games.
I'm not convinced at all by the game.
I was charmed by the excellent Wooly World and I have to admit that my hype for Crafted World dropped to zero after the demo.
I think Crafted World reused the engine of Wooly World but I don't really like the art direction.
My Switch is dusty like never before and I thought that I could play again with the new Yoshi's game but I won't, sadly.
I'm not satisfied with what I just saw. It is difficult to clearly explain why but globally, the game seems to be made with several pieces of unreleased games put together to build a new one. I have the sense that even the game is only made to get a maximum cash on the back of gullible players.
I'm going to wait to see more, specially with a price of €30.
The game has too much flaws IMO. This is sad because I'm sure the developers wanted to give their best to make a great game. It's impossible to deny the problems in the game that's why I'm not going to buy the collector's edition.
When I take the time to read your list of games, it appears that you have shown the real problem with the Switch.
The majority of the titles are ports or mediocre exclusives such as kirby or Mario Tennis Aces.
There is a real lack of new good titles on Switch. Anybody with objective eyes sees that.
I did and I got Joycon and WiFI issues. Another strange thing that I never heard of, is that my Switch is not straight when docked. This is not a problem to play but it looks so "low quality". It's almost like I see only that when I sit on my couch.
You see, Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony I buy their products at launch. There is a two years warranty on each.
This is a performance issue. That's why they don't release Spyro at the same time. The game runs at 60 frames per second 1080p on PS4 and Xbox and they don't want us to see the direct comparison.
They're going to do what happend with Dark Souls Remastered already, moving the Switch version further away to make it easier to sell.
This is a problem now but it would become a huge problem when PS5 and Xbox Scarlett will be there.

Re: Japanese Charts: Switch Console Sales Reach 8 Million, Will Soon Overtake PS4 Lifetime Sales
@Stocksy
Not a valid argument because a lot of japanese people saved money when they buy a Switch.
In the past, they had to buy a handheld and a home console.
Now for 24,980 yen ($227) they get the handheld + the home system.
Re: Japanese Charts: Switch Console Sales Reach 8 Million, Will Soon Overtake PS4 Lifetime Sales
I don't think that the numbers are impressive.
The Switch is the new handheld from Nintendo in Japan.
When I look back, from the Gameboys to the DSs, I think that the Switch does not that great. It's not bad but not great either.
Re: Shalnor Legends: Sacred Lands Arrives This Week Channelling The Legend of Zelda
The game looks like 5% of a final product.
How is it possible to publish a prototype as if it was a game ?
Re: Remarkable Commodore 64 Port Of Super Mario Bros. Attracts Nintendo's Watchful Eye
Great job.
The C64 is not easy to master.
The guy behind the port is a beast.
Nintendo's reaction is stupid but I'm not really surprised about that.
Re: Video: Here's Your First Look At Mortal Kombat 11 Running On The Nintendo Switch
6GB on the cartridge and 16GB for a "patch Day One".
It's a big "NO" for me.

Jumping in rhythm as a key feature for a Zelda game... No thank you.
You have the right to like that, I don't.
Re: How The Crypt Of The NecroDancer Developer Got To Work With Zelda
@Ulysses
It was about "quality".
If I want to eat caviar (ZELDA), I don't expect to find it at Mc Donalds(INDIES).
For me, Zelda is too prestigious to be developed by an indie.
@Lemmy_the_Koopa

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 9th)
Capcom week end for me.
Resident Evil 2 Remake and Devil May Cry 5.

Re: Want Resident Evil On Your Switch? You'd Better Have Deep Pockets
I bought the PS4 resident evil origins collection (resident evil 0 and resident evil) brand new on disc €14.99 more than a year ago.
It's €60 on Switch ? For digital copies ? Everything's alright. Morons.
Re: A Trio Of Classic Resident Evil Games Is Coming To Switch This May
Preorder at Gamestop : $59.99 for download games.
I keep my physical version of Resident Evil Origins Collection.
I bought it last year brand new 14.99€.
I like Capcom for their games but they can go to hell when it's about price on the Switch.

Re: Devil Engine Is The Closest We'll Get To A New Thunder Force Game In 2019
Hi, maybe you're right.
Inspirations from other games could be the reason why I felt that the game was a plagiarism.

Re: Rumour: PlatinumGames' Scalebound Is Being Revived As a Nintendo Switch Exclusive
I can't believe it but if true, I buy it the second the game is on shelves.
Bayonetta 3, Astral Chain and Scalebound, the holy trinity.
Re: Talking Point: Is The Remake Of Zelda: Link’s Awakening Worth $60?
I'm not going to buy it but I think that 29.99 was the right price for the job they did.
60 is pure rip off.

I'm sorry ?
I'm disappointed by the demo so I'm trolling ?
Impressive.
Re: Studio Head Of PlatinumGames Talks About Astral Chain In Official Blog Post
This game is a beast. From the first second of the trailer I was sold.
It's like the game ticks all the boxes. Ambiance, style, ideas, music, graphics, animations, everything is perfect.
I love everything, absolutely everything.
Thank you Platinum Games.

Re: Dragon: Marked for Death Delayed Until January 2019
I'm not satisfied with what I just saw.
It is difficult to clearly explain why but globally, the game seems to be made with several pieces of unreleased games put together to build a new one.
I have the sense that even the game is only made to get a maximum cash on the back of gullible players.
I'm going to wait to see more, specially with a price of €30.
Re: Octopath Traveler Crowned Nintendo Game Of The Year At Golden Joystick Awards
@the8thark
I know but it doesn't change anything because that "rule" applies to Sony and Microsoft too.
Re: Octopath Traveler Crowned Nintendo Game Of The Year At Golden Joystick Awards
The "Nintendo Game of the Year" section reward a Square Enix game.
God Of War for Playstation and Forza Horizon 4 for Microsoft.
I found that interesting. Nintendo was not capable to produce a "Game of the Year" themselves during an entire year ?
Re: Retro-Style Platformer Fox n Forests Is Getting A Gorgeous Limited Collectors Edition On Switch

Re: Blazing Chrome Will Bring Its Classic Arcade Side-Scrolling Action To Switch Early Next Year

I'm gonna buy it on PS4 because it's the perfect timing. Christmas to play Spyro with my family, man this is lit.
Re: What Happened To Spyro: Reignited Trilogy Coming To The Switch?
@electrolite77
Be realistic, when games will be made 4K native, no developer would like to rework a game to make it fit 720p.
Re: What Happened To Spyro: Reignited Trilogy Coming To The Switch?
This is a performance issue.

Re: Katamari Damacy Reroll Demo Arrives On 7th December
I still have my PS2 version of the game and "Me and My Katamari" on my PSP. I'm not going to buy the game again.
I can't wait to get something else than old games because my switch is really dusty right now.
