As a subscriber of all three services, I can tell you, you don't want a NSO that costs double and gives you two games that are at most $10 as they're constantly on sale and you probably already own or don't want, every month. Just check every comment section of the video updates.
While I will never champion exclusives per se, I believe the right holders will do best by their IPs. Hopefully Nintendo won't let this one or Bayonetta resort to crowdfund.
@PickledKong64 I wouldn't consider it the same, since Nintendo haven't actively stopped or banned anyone for expressing themselves regarding the subject.
I thought people WANTED updates to be less often but meatier? I hate to "defend" Nintendo when it comes to giving us less, but people were super vocal about this since the NES App launched.
I was wondering what was Nintendo gonna do with the SNES library, I don't see them adding that many noteworthy third party titles since they have their own collections now.
@Likethepear I have that and some of these games on my New 3DS, I'm sill super glad that I can just bring this SNES collection wherever and even play with my friends online.
@Firebird360 I get the impression that you're fairly young from that comment. (Not trying to be rude) Every generational leap is sold like the most drastic one yet. The thing is, with the evolution of hardware we get something of a diminishing return. You need a bigger technological jump every time for the average consumer to even notice a difference. Resolution is a good example, from 480p to 720p is a huge leap, but from 720p to 1080p or even more so from 4K to 8K, you get less and less people that are even able to notice the difference. It'll be interesting to see how SSDs change the way devs worked around loading screen though.
With ports that "weren't possible" back at launch popping up every other week now, and possibly the smallest gen jump yet, I'd say, it's probably going to have its place in gaming for years to come.
I can't tell you if that's the case here, since I don't own any of these PDP controllers myself, but I thought I'd bring it up since people usually associate the 6 face button layout with Fight Pads.
@rushiosan While I can't speak for every country where Nintendo sells their consoles and games, I've seen people say that it's unavailable in countries like Mexico, and I can tell you from personal experience it does exist in my country.
@rushiosan The New 3DS did get a revised screen. I have a second generation black Pro Controller (bought around the time the Xenoblade one came out) it doesn't have the D-pad issue. No need to get cheeky, no one thinks it's fun to send their stuff to get repaired. I'm just saying people pretend it doesn't exist or inaccessible.
@rushiosan Pretty much all of those were addressed with hardware revisions, and fixes for the people affected (If they bothered to send them to Nintendo, obviously).

Re: PlatinumGames Unsure Astral Chain Will Remain Exclusive To Switch, Ultimately It's "Nintendo's Call"

The Neo Geo Pocket fully displayed on the Switch screen reminds me of playing DS games on the Wii U.

Re: Nintendo Reveals The Top 30 Switch eShop Games Of November 2019 (North America)

Still not a fan of counting Fortnite if it's free.
Re: PAYDAY 2 On Switch "Very Unlikely" To Receive Any Of The New Updates
I'd stay clear of any other games these devs make.
Re: Experience Overwatch's Winter Wonderland Event On Switch For The First Time Ever
@PickledKong64 I replied to you though.
Re: Experience Overwatch's Winter Wonderland Event On Switch For The First Time Ever
@vitalemrecords Does that make it okay to ban people for speaking their mind?

@SwitchForce I can see why but it doesn't matter to me that much since they'll be on a table or something.
Re: The Witcher 3 Was An Absolute Mess When It Was Initially Ported To Switch
Fantastic port, been playing it since launch and haven't put it down.

@frabbit Yeah it's like calling every other Platformer a Super Mario Bros. Spiritual Successor.

Re: Feature: Best Nintendo Switch Kart Racing Games
@Mario_64 But it is, in the SNES Online App.
Re: Random: Pokémon Sword And Shield Are Reportedly Crashing Roku Devices
@Silly_G Being real, who cares about those when compared to the new Pokémon games.
Re: Feature: Best Nintendo Switch Kart Racing Games
Super Mario Kart should be here.
Re: Hardware Review: Go-tcha Evolve - The Pokémon GO Plus Killer
I find it hard to justify if the life expectancy of the product is under a year.
Re: Reggie Calls Wii U A "Failure Forward" Because It Led To Switch
The Wii U wasn't a mistake, the incredible library it has left behind will remain entertaining and the template for new games for years to come.

Re: Virtuos Only Interested In Offering Switch Players The Best Ports Possible
Did they ever fix the swapped A/B issue in Dark Souls?
Re: Guide: Nintendo Switch Online - Every NES And SNES Game Available
A missed opportunity to mention all NES and SNES games available from third party collections.
Re: Uh-Oh, We've Got Our First Reported Case Of Drift On The Switch Lite
@ss213 The GBA SP hinges similar to a clamshell. But never fold the screen itself.
Re: Uh-Oh, We've Got Our First Reported Case Of Drift On The Switch Lite
@ss213 Don't fold a GBA SP screen, it'll break.
Re: Uh-Oh, We've Got Our First Reported Case Of Drift On The Switch Lite
@GrailUK Stores these days literally ask you to have video proof of the issue.
Re: Luigi's Mansion 3 Receiving Paid DLC, Will Add New Content To Multiplayer Modes
@LoveEmpath Me? No. I'm not working on this game.
Re: Luigi's Mansion 3 Receiving Paid DLC, Will Add New Content To Multiplayer Modes
I don't mind DLC if the game feels complete.
But this could really damage the online and wireless parties for this game.
Re: PSA: Remember To Update Your Joy-Con And Pro Controllers Today, As Well As Your Switch
You don't actually have to plug anything. As long as they're paired and on, you can update all your joycons and Pro controllers wirelessly.
Re: Switch's NES And SNES Games Will No Longer Be Added Monthly
I was wondering what was Nintendo gonna do with the SNES library, I don't see them adding that many noteworthy third party titles since they have their own collections now.

Re: Guide: The 20 SNES Games Coming To Nintendo Switch Today, Ranked By Us
A Link to the Past is my favorite SNES game.
But honestly you can re-organize those top 3 in any order and it'd be perfect still.

Re: You'll Need To Pre-Order Yooka-Laylee And The Impossible Lair To Get Its N64 Tonic Mod At Launch
Pre-order incentives incentivize me to not get the game until it's discounted a couple months after launch.
Re: Poll: How Do You Pronounce These Nintendo-Related Words?
@Giygas_95 But that's the correct pronunctiation...
Re: Poll: How Do You Pronounce These Nintendo-Related Words?
How do so many people pronounce Melee wrong when the announcer yells it fairly clearly at the end of the intro.
Re: Pichu And Jigglypuff Are Getting Their Very Own Switch Controllers
@Troop
Usually USB "Fight Pads" are called that because they work with what Fighting Games call "Legacy controllers" or some variation of that.
This is great for people who own a USB Arcade Stick or Fight Pad and it isn't natively compatible with the console.
For example, you could use the Pokkén Controller on SoulCalibur 6 on the PS4 (Though I play with the Hori Switch Arcade Stick myself).
I can't tell you if that's the case here, since I don't own any of these PDP controllers myself, but I thought I'd bring it up since people usually associate the 6 face button layout with Fight Pads.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #1 - Super Metroid
