At this point, they should get rid of the 300 game limit on the 3DS. I'm literally ready to hand over another $100 or $200 on digital downloads. But if Nintendo doesn't want my money, so be it
Or they could bite the bullet and I don't know, compress the video to make it magically fit in that 8 GB window. Many other devs do that, not that I agree with it under most circumstances but they still had room to use so why not?
Honestly, if Nintendo dropped the price of the 2DS line another $30-$40, as well as dropping prices for games aggressively akin to Sony and Microsoft, the 3DS would probably get an extra few years of extra oomph in it. Just push a few sales and slash some prices and the odd new bundle and boom, sold. Even in 2019, a New 2DS bundle with Minecraft would probably spark sales a bit
Man, Sniper Elite will rock my Switch this month. If I dig it enough as I did on the 360, I will double dip for the Xbox One X too. Nazi nut shots in 4K sound A OK in my book
Yeah that's nice as long as they don't hold out (or cut out) content to add in later as dlc like oh so many developers do these days. Kirby and Mario Tennis are perfect examples of this
Yes, if Nintendo actually put some effort into it, and not just slapped it on like other parts of the Switch, it could work. Put a 'Nintendo' spin on achievements, like earning stars and coins or other recognizable Nintendo symbols as the tiers of achievements or something. Going a step further, they could integrate them into My Nintendo and make them another way to earn and purchase rewards because that's another sector Nintendo is lagging on, their reward site. Especially in Club Nintendo's shadow. So many routes they could take to make the acheivment system interesting and appealing to gamers on Switch and Nintendo's mobile ventures but oh well. Nintendoes what Ninten does
@unoclay that would be great. I heard of someone putting the ribbon in the oven for 20 minutes and it working again. It's a temporary fix but yeah, I'm not gutsy enough for that
Utterly weak effort from Nintendo. How long has it been since Switch got more than a stability update and this is what we're getting 2 years in. But its to be expected so time to stop farting in the wind
@Nico07 yeah, obviously they'd have to tinker with it, otherwise not many people would have bothered buying them. One day the system and its games will get resurrected in some meaningful way, the passage of time is the VB's worst enemy as systems slowly start to pack it in
Neat little reference. I enjoy my VB in short bursts when the screen isn't bugging out. Would have loved to see some games reworked as 3D classics on 3DS
It's called parenting, Harry. These people that say stuff like this either do it to slander the games industry or worse, they just let their own kids make their own rules and continue to play. If you don't know what parenting is, then you and Meghan are in real trouble come a few years
Jeez I wish other countries would step in too. Microsoft got rid of the option to cancel xbox live/game pass from the system a few times over the years. It's easy money from people who don't pay attention and I'm glad someone is stepping in
I like Mike and that Netflix cartoon of his is pretty decent but Mike isn't a gamer. Yeah, this is probably another tweet from a clueless celebrity reaching way far out onto something they don't understand a la Souljaboy
@RupeeClock I believe it was Big Hero 6 on the DS in 2014. Not the best "final" game there ever was. Looked like a slapped together release you'd expect to see from early 05 on the DS
Why would they do that when the series is known for repeat releases. The next game will probably be a safe sequel that adds a few things this game desperately needed such as more boards or at least more interesting ones. Probably gonna be called New Super Mario Party
Nintendo and Microsoft just had a baby! People have wanted a physical Cuphead release since day one myself included and the fact it's coming in full on cart so soon just makes it so much better. With goodies, I guess I will have to double dip
I got one for Sega, give the Sonic franchise to people who actually know what they are doing and what the franchise is about. Modern Sonic Team has has been playing with us long enough. Christian Whitehead x Yuji Naka anyone?
Morphies Law needs a comeback update announced. Loved the concept but laggy as all hell and it hasn't been on sale or featured ever so beyond a few weeks of sale, yeah the game us practically dead online
Would have been cool to see it released for 3DS for parity sake as I prefer that version to the Switch version. Alas, it wasn't meant to be. This DLC was obviously planned out in advance so I wonder why cut it from the 3DS though when they already built the game from the ground up for 3DS
Still waiting on Battle Princess Madelyn for Wii U but this should fill the void. After that, yeah my Wii U will probably collect dust. My Wii gets more use that than my Wii U. Funny how that works
@thesilverbrick I was thinking the exact same. Both Paper Mario 1&2 would have been far better candidates and probably would have sold better, even on the 3DS. Though I am enjoying the remake, you can tell corners were cut and I have to wonder what was even the point for this one
Sniper Elite V2 was a brilliant game on 360. Probably will get it on Switch and Xbox One X. SE3/4 just didn't resonate with me. Not sure why but glad the third is coming to Switch as well

Re: Phil Spencer Comments On The Possibility Of Xbox Game Pass Coming To Nintendo Switch
Rare Replay is an inevitability. Achievements and friends would be a very welcome addition imo
Re: Yooka-Laylee And The Impossible Lair Is Playtonic's Next Game, And It's Coming To Switch
Giddy up. If there it's Xbox One X supported, I'm all over this one
Re: Virtua Racing And Wonder Boy: Monster Land Arrive In The West At The End Of June
I wonder why it so long to bring over. The demand is here on this side of the pond for Virtra Racing so this was a bit perplexing
Re: Here Are Your Nintendo Switch Online NES Games For The Month Of June
Nintendo is the mallet and the NES is the dead horse they're beating with it
Re: 3DS System Update 11.10.0-43 Is Now Live

Re: The Sonic Movie Gets Delayed Until 2020 To Get Things 'Just Right'
Ayy, maybe this will be wildly mediocre instead of a dumpster fire due to the delay. Kinda like Team Sonic Racing before it got delayed

Re: 'Meowtroidvania' Game Gato Roboto Pounces Onto Switch Next Week
Still waiting on an official "Mewtroid" release after being teased in WarioWare Twisted. That would be decent

Is this available in all regions or just Japan right now?
Re: The Mortal Kombat Movie Reboot Has Been Given The Greenlight
However bad (or good) this turns out, they better yell "MORTAL KOMBAT" at some point or I'm out

@Switchitup yes I second this

@chocolate_supra on stage with the rest of Queen, yeah I'd be down for that
Re: Rumour: Is This Our First Look At Jim Carrey As Doctor Robonik In The Sonic Movie?
Looks like Freddy Mercury cosplaying as Eggman. And I wanted to like this movie so bad even though the odds were stacked against it
Re: Nintendo Will Keep Offering Add-On Content And Free Updates For Its Games

@Rob3008 they must know people are aware the only consistently good thing about a Sonic game, no matter how polarizing it is, is the music
Re: Video: Feast Your Eyes On This Brand New Shakedown: Hawaii Trailer
Finally, something that isn't a 10 year old port on my 3DS. Been waiting for this one!
Re: Random: Cool Virtual Boy Easter Egg Discovered In Nintendo Labo VR

Re: Cuphead Physical Release Confirmed For Nintendo Switch
Nintendo and Microsoft just had a baby! People have wanted a physical Cuphead release since day one myself included and the fact it's coming in full on cart so soon just makes it so much better. With goodies, I guess I will have to double dip
Re: Cuphead Is Coming To Nintendo Switch, Along With Xbox Achievements
Tempting but have it on X and as well as it's suited for Switch, I'll probably pass until a sale
Re: We Almost Got Virtua Racing On The Game Boy Advance
Darn, that would have been sitting next to my GBA proudly if it ever came to fruition. I love it when you see dev's pushing GBA like this
