@Serpenterror Yeah, it's 8 hours if you ignore literally every other part of the game outside the campaign.
I don't even like COD anymore, but this is just flat out disingenuous.

Ironically, Wario is probably the most appropriate Mario character he could have dressed up as, him and his greedy, greasy ahh.

If there's any version that stands to improve the most from this remaster, it's the Switch 1 version. That port was getting by on hopes and dreams.

@Switch4Life *you're

@Zeeba Like Nintendo fans aren't infamously known for being sheep who buy whatever the company tells them to.
Please.

I like how the reception to this move is almost universally positive even on the crapfest known as Twitter, but the site specifically dedicated to Nintendo games is just nothing but complaining.

As much as I love RE, I'm trying to figure out where the scary is in a good 90% of it. Like, sure, RE7 freaked me out when it first hit, and the regenerators in OG RE4 made me give birth to a food baby, but other than that...?
I dunno, man.

Isn't it great watching every aspect of your favorite hobby just imploding in on itself at every turn?

I would have gotten a 1TB if it weren't for those data centers killing the price of every storage medium on the planet. I'll stick to my 512 GB until the wheels come off.

@Alcea How is the resell argument "dumb"?
You can literally resell the physical key card once you no longer need it.

@MS7000 I mean, it objectively is better.

At least with a key card, you can sell it off once you're finished with it; lend it out to a friend; trade it in for another game; buy one used for far cheaper than retail; redeem it theoretically as many times as you want across as many consoles as you want.

A code in a box allows you literally none of these things, and if your arguments are the following:
1 - "You still need to put the card into the console" - quit being lazy.
2 - "You can still lose them" - quit being irresponsible.

Problem solved.

@Aquinas Dread was fantastic, what are you on about?

@Ichiban That'd be anti-consumer, would it not?
There's still a lot of people on Switch 1, many of whom probably won't make the jump to Switch 2.
You can have both a Switch 1 and Switch 2 version co-exist on the eShop.

@KBuckley27 This is hardly a Nintendo exclusive issue. PlayStation and Xbox went up in price as well.

There's plenty reasons to go after Nintendo - this isn't one of them.

No 60fps is bizarre. It was the one thing I was looking forward to when it came to a Switch 2 version.

While this port is disappointing in ways, what's more disappointing is seeing how many people on this site are willing to excuse a game from 2013 somehow looking worse on Switch 2 versus PS4: a console also from 2013.

Like, I get it. Nintendo fansite, bias abound. But please, people, raise your standards. Just a little bit. @BaldB3lper78

@SpaceboyScreams It probably has something to do with DLSS trying to upscale from a very low internal resolution. All the fine hairs make the upscaler fly into a seizure. Expect this sort of thing going forward, unfortunately.

You know what? Sure, why not.

I'll probly pick this up on Switch 2. Hopefully they do a few cute gimmicks with the controller features.

Maybe I'm just old, but I have a hard time seeing how a 14-hour battery life is a ding. I think people are just spoiled by 20+ hour battery life estimates at this point.
Like, just plug it in after you're done playing. It isn't difficult. Are you playing for 14 hours straight or what?

@BaldB3lper78 On a game of this scale, the answer is hardly ever as simple as "devs lazy." Deadlines exist, budgets exist, and — more importantly — executives exist, and they set the figures for the two former things.

@Dee123 Oh lighten up, I'm sure Elmo doesn't mind.

@Luke937 I wouldn't be so sure. Companies would sooner make their games all digital than spend the extra scratch putting the whole game on the cartridge. As much as I don't like it, physical media is on borrowed time.

@Oldstalk I mean, after taxes, it may as well be an even $500.

I expected the comments under this to be a variety of people waving this off and excusing it, and I wasn't wrong.
Expect better from this company, people. This is your money you're spending, and they're treating you like piggy banks. You deserve better than this. Don't feel bad for the poor multi-billion dollar company.

So long as someone, somewhere has these ROMs backed up locally and has a place to upload them, neither Nintendo or the FBI or god himself has the ability to completely stamp this out. It's like trying to stop the passage of time.

@sethfranum I mean, let's be real, a statistical majority of the people who buy those inexpensive emulation handhelds aren't in it to play the original carts, they're in it to play their 500 GB folder of ROMs on the go.

@McBurn Imagine being cynical over $100,000 of charity money.
Secondary or not, people are going to be helped.

I was unfortunately one of those idiots that jumped on the bandwagon. I never tweeted Kamiya directly, but I was part of that fecal show. In the end I was just as wrong as everyone else, but to be fair, given his "I'm an A-hole lmfao" persona, he didn't make it hard to believe he'd screw over his own VAs.

Price hikes are definitely making me look into my backlog a lot more these days. It doesn't help the triple-A gaming space has given me less and less reasons to care about it over the years. Nintendo included.

They should change it to neon green just to upset both sides of the argument.

Dang, I can't share my hentai puzzle games with people until the Switch 2 comes out.

Hopefully the humor in this one doesn't make me want to scoop my ear drums out with a fork.

@BenAV At the same time this IS the same company that's trying to spearhead $80 games as standard ahead of Sony and Microsoft + kept all models of Switch 1 (even the crusty V1/V2 model) the same price for 8 years.

@squidduforeal The Switch 2 supporting a newer wi-fi standard isn't exactly the urgent, breaking news a journalist drops everything to report on.

Well, now I can't game the system anymore by purchasing eslop. :V

I feel like tech nerds and display enthusiasts like Digital Foundry subscribers are way overrepresented in terms of what the average consumer prioritizes.
If there is only an LCD model for the Switch 2 at launch, it's still going to sell gangbusters (provided the launch lineup is compelling), because Nintendo's got us by the nads. Where else are you going to play the next 3D Mario? Or the next mainline Zelda? Legally, that is.

@KingMike You can control the Wii menu with a Classic Controller. The cursor moves with the left analog stick.

It's so weird seeing people get hung up on the term "boomer shooter."

Dunno how to tell you this, folks, but to people under 25, "boomer" refers to anyone they consider old. You are old. These are old people games.

@nkarafo I mean...it CAN. Nintendo just doesn't want you to know about it.

@Strawblaze Implying this gargantuan monstrosity isn't also overpriced?

At this point we know everything about the console except the games.

Low key though, really glad Kate brought up how ultimately useless platinum points are when all you can spend them on is profile pic elements for a profile most people won't see.
It's bonkers, too, seeing some Nintendo fans arguing against more features like themes just because, "Well, /I/ wouldn't use it."

I would.

@Purgatorium Some Switch games/apps prevent you from using the share button to take screenshots or clips. YouTube is the quickest example of that restriction.

@Arawn93 I mean, most pirates are still winning. They just aren't dumb enough to announce what they're doing to the company they're stealing from.

@Jayenkai If you haven't picked up a minimum 32 GB SD card by now, that's on you at this point.
My 512 wouldn't even feel this game.

@ian_beale That would be a break from a decades-long tradition though, wouldn't it?
Outside of maybe rare or obscure instances, I can't recall any Nintendo system that had backwards compatibility that wasn't at least 99% compatible.

@Bunkerneath I mean, they were asked a question about the photo on their podcast and they answered with what you see above.
What were they supposed to do? Not answer because Blunkerneath on Nintendo Life doesn't care about their opinions?

@Jiggies Standards have raised in the twenty years since the GameCube. That, plus Nintendo fans haven't been in a spot to complain about graphics or performance since 2006. You want the Marios and Zeldas? Well, you gotta put up with hardware a decade out of date, then.
