NoA is starting to sound like any other company in the US from the looks of it. If this is true (Kotaku ain’t the first or last place I wanna get news from) then there needs to be an upheaval over at the company.
At this point, there’s just too much smoke for there not to be any fire over there.
I’m getting the physical version on the Xbox down the line so no skin off my back. But these Cloud versions continue to not make a compelling sales pitch to even bother with them.
Yikes, guess I’m going with the Series X version then. I get now wouldn’t be the best time to release a successor, but they kinda needed one since yesterday.
Unfortunately the moment Nintendo releases new hardware people are gonna do their darnedest to emulate it as quickly as possible. These stories of Steam Deck emulation aren’t going to go away, as much as I like them too.
I’m confident it’ll turn out well given the two year porting process, though I’m definitely keeping an eye on Switch Up/Digital Foundry before taking the plunge.
I’ve completed the good/true route on Omori and I’ll do the hikikomori route sometime in the near future. Other than that I’m gunning to beat both Klonoa Door to Phantomile and Lunatea’s Veil on the Series X before Xenoblade 3 comes strolling on in.
Good Lord October is one heck of a month. From No More Heroes 3 getting released on current-gen to Persona and now to THIS? Heck, even PlayStation folks have Dad of War 2 coming out during the spooky season.
I really need to start and beat Three Hopes before the flood gates comes crashing in. October alone has freaking Nier, Sparks of Hope, P5R, and No Man’s Sky. A lot to look forward to!
I’d like to see a new direct, but I don’t need one at the moment. I’ve got PLENTY to work through as is. Plus with stuff on the horizon like Three Hopes and Klonoa, there’s still quite a bit to look forward to.
After the whole mess with the KH games I can’t shake off the concern of an impending cloud version. It seems like that’s not the case… but it’s Square, so who knows.
The actual game does look pretty good though! Honestly it’s the highlight of the presentation for me.
If they don’t want to spare the effort bringing it over, than I see no reason to spare the effort buying it on other platforms. Don’t get me wrong, it’s absolutely FANTASTIC this series can flourish outside of PlayStation. But I’m just tired of this “will they, won’t they” back and forth. If it ain’t coming, then say it’s not coming.
Wasn’t there a shareholder’s meeting happening on that day? Also, freaking XENOBLADE 3 comes out in the 29th as well! If anything, a direct should be happening before all of that. But I guess we’ll know in a couple days if this rumor is total bull or not.
A more capable and beefier Switch seems like the safest way to go, with BC+Framerate/Resolution. I’m not asking for a portable PS5, but it would be nice if I didn’t have fear any big game coming to it getting a slap-dash cloud port.
I bought HW three different times on three different platforms sinking more hours than I care to admit. It’s the most “basic” out of the bunch, but the years of additional content makes it the best out of the bunch.
AoC is very, very, very close to it. Hopefully the next Switch (if it is and has BC) can make it truly shine without the poor resolution/frame rate.
Just finished up Crash 4 with zero interest to 100% completing it. It’s a good game, but they went WAY overboard with all of the gems and relics. Other than that I’ll be working on de Blob and get back to doodling with Colors Live.
On the Series X side of things I’ll either get around to Enslaved or Greedfall.
I’m just curious to see how this thing runs. It’s definitely native given it’s selling on Amazon and Target. If it’s decently optimized and actually good I’ll snag a pre-owned copy.
I remember a time during the DS era where they published all sorts of cool games and didn’t ask for repetitive surveys. Nowadays they’re so weirdly apprehensive putting anything on a Nintendo console expecting people to beg.
“Recommend with confidence”? I’m sorry, but did we play the same game here? I mean, I’d rather play Balan over Babylon’s Fall or Avengers, but that doesn’t make it any better!

Re: Video: The Switch Desperately Needs This Nintendo DS Feature
I used to play the Bleach fighting game with my friends all the time! Took an eternity, but it was fun while it lasted.
If they can somehow make it work next go around that would be pretty sweet.
Re: Review: Thymesia - Cloud Version - A Soulslike That Shows Some Promise, Just Not On Switch
I’m getting the physical version on the Xbox down the line so no skin off my back. But these Cloud versions continue to not make a compelling sales pitch to even bother with them.
Re: Pac-Man World: Re-Pac Frame Rate, Resolution, And File Size For Switch Seemingly Revealed
Yikes, guess I’m going with the Series X version then. I get now wouldn’t be the best time to release a successor, but they kinda needed one since yesterday.
Re: Thymesia Cloud Version Drops On Switch Next Week Alongside PC, PS5, Xbox
Why yes I would love to stream an input heavy game on a system with notoriously poor online. Who keeps buying these…?
Re: Outer Wilds On Switch "Is Still Happening"
I might bite on the Series X because I’ve heard nothing but good things about this game. I glad they’re taking their time with it though.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 23rd)
Beat Door to Phantomile and I’m working my way through Lunatea’s Veil. I’ve also been shooting a bunch of yokai in Shadow Warrior 3.
On Switch it’s Wally and the Fantastic Predators, another rougelite but pretty charming.
Re: No Man's Sky's New Endurance Update Confirmed For The Ever-Expanding Switch Port
I’m confident it’ll turn out well given the two year porting process, though I’m definitely keeping an eye on Switch Up/Digital Foundry before taking the plunge.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 16th)

Re: Pathfinder: Wrath Of The Righteous Heading For Switch Via The Cloud
Why bother? Just why? Can we move on from this practice already? If you’re not going to bother, then don’t bother with a half hearted cloud port.
Re: Bayonetta 3 Trailer Confirms Launch For This October
Good Lord October is one heck of a month. From No More Heroes 3 getting released on current-gen to Persona and now to THIS? Heck, even PlayStation folks have Dad of War 2 coming out during the spooky season.
Re: Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion Will Have 'Differences' In Performance On Switch
I mean, if it looks and plays like trash I’ve got other avenues. Still, I’m pretty confident it’ll turn out alright.
Re: Nintendo Reveals A New And Colourful Splatoon 3 Switch OLED
It looks really cool, always fun to see more game-centric Switch designs. I’m definitely holding off buying another until the eventual Pro/Next-Gen.
Re: Nintendo's Official Infographic Showcases All Games From The Direct Mini
I really need to start and beat Three Hopes before the flood gates comes crashing in. October alone has freaking Nier, Sparks of Hope, P5R, and No Man’s Sky. A lot to look forward to!
Re: Poll: What's Your Game Of The Year 2022 So Far?
So far Elden Ring is the raging champ for me with Kirby coming in second.
Re: Here's A First Look At The NieR: Automata Physical Switch Release, Pre-Order Now
Bonkers that a Nier game is finally landing on a Nintendo console. Hopefully we can see the game in action sometime soon!
Re: Talking Point: So, What Did You Think Of Nintendo's June Mini-Direct?
The gold standard for Partner Showcases. Nier, PAC Man, Portal, the Battle Network games, and freaking Persona is finally and truly a multiplat game.
I’m… not flustered by the lack of Nintendo stuff. There’s plenty on the horizon and more so now.
Re: Nintendo Direct Mini To Air Tomorrow, June 28
Partner Showcases get more flak than they honestly deserve. I’m looking forward to it, and they can still cram quite a bit of info in 20 minutes.
Re: Video: We Haven't Had A Nintendo Direct Yet, But That's Fine
I’d like to see a new direct, but I don’t need one at the moment. I’ve got PLENTY to work through as is. Plus with stuff on the horizon like Three Hopes and Klonoa, there’s still quite a bit to look forward to.
Re: A Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Direct Will Be Airing This Wednesday
XC3 is in a weird spot given it’s releasing earlier than intended. I guess they feel the need to front load information before it releases?
Though not the same, there have been instances of an Indie Direct being followed up with an actual Direct. So there’s hope yet! Maybe!
Re: Square Enix Reveals Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion, Arriving On Switch Later This Year
After the whole mess with the KH games I can’t shake off the concern of an impending cloud version. It seems like that’s not the case… but it’s Square, so who knows.
The actual game does look pretty good though! Honestly it’s the highlight of the presentation for me.
Re: Review: Neon White - A Thrilling, Hilarious Genre Hybrid That You Simply Must Check Out
OMORI, Shredder’s Revenge and this… it’s gonna be a busy week!
Re: Persona 3, 4, and 5 Seemingly Confirmed For Everything But Switch
If they don’t want to spare the effort bringing it over, than I see no reason to spare the effort buying it on other platforms. Don’t get me wrong, it’s absolutely FANTASTIC this series can flourish outside of PlayStation. But I’m just tired of this “will they, won’t they” back and forth. If it ain’t coming, then say it’s not coming.
Re: Persona 3, 4, and 5 Seemingly Confirmed For Everything But Switch
It would be such a missed opportunity to not have P3P on a console that’s actually portable.
Please, for once Atlus, don’t be you for a second and actually pull the port trigger already.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Direct To Take Place Later This Month
Wasn’t there a shareholder’s meeting happening on that day? Also, freaking XENOBLADE 3 comes out in the 29th as well! If anything, a direct should be happening before all of that. But I guess we’ll know in a couple days if this rumor is total bull or not.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 11th)
Making my way through .Hack GU Last Recode. So far I’m on Vol.3 and enjoying it quite a bit.
Re: Reggie Shares Thoughts On How Nintendo Can Prepare For The Switch's Successor
A more capable and beefier Switch seems like the safest way to go, with BC+Framerate/Resolution. I’m not asking for a portable PS5, but it would be nice if I didn’t have fear any big game coming to it getting a slap-dash cloud port.
Re: Poll: What's The Best Warriors Game On Switch?
I bought HW three different times on three different platforms sinking more hours than I care to admit. It’s the most “basic” out of the bunch, but the years of additional content makes it the best out of the bunch.
AoC is very, very, very close to it. Hopefully the next Switch (if it is and has BC) can make it truly shine without the poor resolution/frame rate.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (May 21st)
Just finished up Crash 4 with zero interest to 100% completing it. It’s a good game, but they went WAY overboard with all of the gems and relics. Other than that I’ll be working on de Blob and get back to doodling with Colors Live.
On the Series X side of things I’ll either get around to Enslaved or Greedfall.
Re: Video: With E3 Dead, Will Nintendo Host A Direct In June?
E3 or not it’s about that time for an update since the last was all the way back in February.
Re: Hogwarts Legacy Shares New Location Footage In 20-Minute ASMR Video
I’m just curious to see how this thing runs. It’s definitely native given it’s selling on Amazon and Target. If it’s decently optimized and actually good I’ll snag a pre-owned copy.
Re: Skyrim Anniversary Edition Has Been Rated For Switch In Taiwan, Sparking Rumours Of A Port
I’d rather them remaster Oblivion since it could use a bit of a face-lift. I’d buy that on Switch in a heartbeat.
Re: Atlus Wants To Know If You Would Like More Nintendo Switch Games
I remember a time during the DS era where they published all sorts of cool games and didn’t ask for repetitive surveys. Nowadays they’re so weirdly apprehensive putting anything on a Nintendo console expecting people to beg.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (May 14th)
On Switch I’ll be focusing on de Blob and Wolfstride. And if I can get around to it I’m gonna start Infinite Undiscovery on the Series X.
Re: Sega Plans To Leverage More Past IP With 'Remasters, Remakes, Reboots'
Can they finally acknowledge the earlier 3D Sonic games? I’ll take a simple resolution bump of Sonic Heroes at this point.
Re: Square Enix Declines To Comment On Yuji Naka's Balan Wonderworld Lawsuit
“Recommend with confidence”? I’m sorry, but did we play the same game here? I mean, I’d rather play Balan over Babylon’s Fall or Avengers, but that doesn’t make it any better!
Re: Kingdom Hearts Cloud Versions Updated, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
No amount of patches to what should’ve been native ports will ever convince me to buy this crap.
Re: Review: Seven Pirates H - A Rich Bounty Of Fan Service, But Lacks Depth
There never has been an Idea Factory game that goes above and beyond of just being “okay”.
