Sorry to be off topic, but super curious about the Ghostbusters game that releases the day after tomorrow! Is the review coming soon? Just curious if it is a good port.
@GAMER1984dude I am already at home. Anyway I would accept it on a handheld with that graphical level. Is GTA 5 bigger than 32gb?
Edit: around 25gb including disc data on xb360. 36gb on ps3... They might find a way to compress that to a 32gb game cart.
But anyway, not sure if developers like Rockstar have enough knowledge on compression, as they probably never had to.
This exactly is why it is sometimes better to have significant system limitations, so programmers have to become very creative to make it happen.
What I see now with GRID on Switch is incredible. There are several race games out for Switch that even don't look half as good and at the same time have significant performance issues. Feral interactive however pulled it off! Great graphics and performance hand in hand.
@phamster I am actually with you as I suddenly ran into regular connection issues with my right joycon when Switch is docked after updating last time while before I never had any issues and nothing changed in the environment apart from the update. I can only link it so far to the update which I regret doing ever since.
My guess: Moon Studios first need to see how successful Ori will sell on Switch and Microsoft probably need some years of exclusivity for the XBOX first.
It does not hurt to buy a Switch, you will only not play on your PS4 anymore after that, probably. Maybe for some 5 min taste of graphical impressive stuff, then straight back to games that actually matter
@DanTheSausage In February a Bandai Namco employee updated their LinkedIn page to say they were working on Ridge Racer 8 which was a Nintendo Switch exclusive - Feb 13, 2019
@SBandy I decided to give xenon a chance now with 1.05 and it can be found around 25 EUR now. It is acceptable now, a 6.5 to 7 out of 10.
I took Horizon Chase Turbo over 90s Super GP as I gave up. It would be great though if it still would happen! Wat annoyed me most was the release date on the Nicalis site, stating Coming Soon for over 2 years now!
Hopefully it is not an excuse to increase the yearly subscription from e.g. 19.99 to 29.99. Iron out the lag (Dr Mario any one?) and just give us access to a respectable library of NES and SNES games from to start. Or make it in a way everyone can choose 10 titles to play every month from the full catalogue. Nice personal touch to every Switch. PS: When is the update for lag free mario maker 2 online multiplayer with friends being released?
I love Switch for its simplicity and quick game boot up focus. Firing up a PS4 or XBONE everytime reminds me why they are collecting dust. There is simply too many features I do not need and everything needs a frequent update...

Re: Nintendo Celebrates 10 Million Switch Console Sales Across Europe
Congrats!
A little above average with 300+ physical games, no joycon drift, so keeping my fingers crossed!

And think about Panic Button.
These guys can make anything happen!

Re: Teslagrad's Physical Switch Edition Is Now Available To Buy In-Store
2 value packs came in yesterday!
Coolshop has it for only 45 EUR incl shipping!
I was only shocked to see that they were delivered in a bag! However even more surprised that they did not show any damage!
Re: Australian Rating Could Mean We're Getting GTA III On Switch
If Witcher 3 is possible, so would GTA 4 and 5.
I would be absolutely fine with xb360 / ps3 level performance on a <7 watt machine between my hands!

Dear Capcom, you can make up for the mess you made on Switch so far by releasing all your previous compilations for Europe fully on carts!

Re: GRID Autosport Speeds Onto Switch On September 19th
Potentially the only racing game for switch so far with some realism not hunting shadows combined with nice graphics
Re: Poll: How Would You Like To See Dreamcast Classics Arrive On Switch?
Love Dreamcast, but bring us the specials instead of the obvious titles. E.g. Bangai-O (I know n64 originally)
Re: Microsoft Focused On Launching Ori Sequel Exclusively On Xbox One And PC
My guess:
Moon Studios first need to see how successful Ori will sell on Switch and Microsoft probably need some years of exclusivity for the XBOX first.

NOE version was similar to US combined with black surrounding.
What NL is showing as European is the UKV version. FAH is basically the same, only multi language cover.

Re: Switch SNES Controller Confirmed, Nintendo Switch Online SNES Games Next?
Hopefully it is not an excuse to increase the yearly subscription from e.g. 19.99 to 29.99.
Iron out the lag (Dr Mario any one?) and just give us access to a respectable library of NES and SNES games from to start. Or make it in a way everyone can choose 10 titles to play every month from the full catalogue. Nice personal touch to every Switch.
PS: When is the update for lag free mario maker 2 online multiplayer with friends being released?
