Re: Feature: Sitting Down With Panic Button, Nintendo Switch's Most Important Third-Party Studio

Enjoyed every bit of Doom and Wolf 2. Only blur that annoyed me a little with the latter were the face textures. Apart from that, one hell of a ride!
I played through both Outlast games as well and let me tell you, while the whole setting in my opinion was better in part 1 (with good graphics), part 2 is jaw dropping when it comes to graphic fidelity. And always sticking to high-res! Red Barrels should definitely develop more for Switch with those skills!
In the meantime I would like to ask Panic Button to port GTA V. Use xbox360/ps3 base and give it a little boost! I wouldn't even care if it means a dedicated micro SD!

Why did they give it to a German who is even too stupid to open a simple folding box? If this is supposed to be Germany's biggest influencer than there is still hope for a lot of people to become one as well... OMG

Update: I am reconsidering my statement as it seems he actually is an influencer reaching all of us and NL even spending a full article on it. Now I feel like the moron.

Re: Slain: Back From Hell Now Runs at 60FPS

@Polymorph85
Having the same issues, looks like the physical game is not linked somehow to the digital version, as the game should not be at version 1.0.0 as they released a patch end of Dec 2017 that changed 30fps into 60fps.

Update: I contacted Merge Games through there website contact form. Hopefully they will clarify it. Keep you posted!

Update2: Merge Games response:
Thanks for reaching out to us. As far as I know, any content that was previously released for the game should’ve been included within the initial release of the physical product. This means that it should be version 1.0.0 but still include the previous patch updates.

Re: The First Two Sega AGES Titles Are Launching On Switch Next Month

Thunderforce IV is epic. But I own it PAL CIB. I would love to see saturn/dreamcast game conversions on switch. Panzer Dragoon Saga, the original sega rally, some unique 2d games.

In case of 16 bit era, please give us the Arcade versions. E.g. Outrun on SMD does not even have engine sound. The pc engine port is already better as well as the GBA port.

Re: Nintendo UK Is Asking For As Much As £180 To Repair Cracked Switch Consoles

Terrible news.

Bit silly to say maybe, but rationally buying a used or new switch is much smarter in this case:

1. Additional dock for the bedroom
2. Additional power brick
3. Additional joy con pair
4. Additional joy con holder
5. Additional Nintendo HDMI cable
6. Additional box for display

The Switch itself is maybe 100-150 at the end. One could also consider to resell the stated parts and it will still be cheaper than sending it in for replacing just the casing.

What a bunch of bull.

Re: Review: Sonic Mania Plus (Switch)

I know it sounds like pissing vinegar, but I don't like that the carton sleeve has the width of a bluray case instead of limiting it to switch dimensions. The additional space inside is just filled with a cardboard piece. It will stick out of the collection on the shelve, but maybe that was the whole point behind it.

Multiplayer s*cks b*lls graphically. Single player is ok. They only released an update with some bug fixes and additional camera views when driving. Still for 30 euros I think it is decent enough, but don't expect forza level (although I recommend to switch off all driving aiding). It will do until we have something better!

We got them now! Oh yeah! Indeed ordered part 1 in Russian eshop and part 2 in South African eshop. They were already cheaper there because of exchange rate effect, but now even more with 33% discount. I think I paid 12 EUR for part 1 and 11 EUR for part 2. Brilliant. I used the golden points from one to another as well: 11 EUR and 10 EUR paid in the end. Now let's hope the developer does not change its mind and releases physical.
