@Wexter I live in Brazil, if you think US don't have structure, it's even worst here. And we have security problems too. I mean, it's nearly impossible to play any kind of game outside. People are afraid to even pick their smartphones inside a bus in my city (Salvador) because if they do that, can be robbed in a blink. "portable" here is a way to play in safe places, like home, it's not to play on a park, or mall In this way, you can use your own wifi, don't need internet. And if you are in another house (like a friend, cousin, girlfriend, etc) you can play in their internet, and for that, it's enough.
Anyone here plays PC/PS5/XS remotely? I do and it's a owesome job, even using smartphone 4G. I'm not sure Nintendo should stay on the hybrid formula anymore. Yes, it's plays better at home, on the same wifi (in that case, I play with the console/PC wired and smartphone with WiFi6 and Razer Kishi v2, the results are PERFECT), but I tried at my girlfriend's house (about 7km) using both her wifi and my 4G and I feel it's good enough for me.
I would prefer if it have a full power console and play remotely when I don't want (or can't) use the TV. Thay even can have a Switch app to use the current switch as a host
"Temper your expectations on the tech side" It's a Nintendo Switch game, it's obvious nowdays. If the tech side was my main concern, I'd play another plataform (and I do, I have a PS5, Series S and a notebook i7 11th 16GB RTX3060, Switch is for exclusives, despite of the technical side)
Only my Pro Controller received an update. My two pairs of Joy-Cons, SNES Controller, N64 Controller and Mega Drive 6 button controller didn't receive anything
Rogue Squadron and Shadow of the Empire with N64 Controller!!! Mega Drive Classics and Sonic 2D games with 6B japonese Mega Drive controller! Plenty of Mega Man games, Secret of Mana, FFs and Chrono with SNES controller! Now I'm in my retro heaven!
@IronMan30 I thought this way too. But thinking about the life of the systems, I started to understand that a PC game will last longer then a console one (Microsoft is doing a outstanding job in this way, I know), so I start to play on PC snd don't regret. The only thing I did to make "less work" was put a second storage and dual boot. Now it's two completely different machines when I turn on each other. It goes too well that I'm thing about have two different machines (one for work, and one for gaming) but I'm still concerned about how to deal with it (I want I Keyboard, one mouse and one set of monitors, the same for them both). Probably I'll make my work machine remoted and use directly the gaming PC
I hope it come to PC. Future proof wise, for me it's PC > Xbox > Playstation > Nintendo. Nintendo is absolutely only for games that I'm really sure are exclusives (I'm waiting for Triangle Strategy and Live A Live on PC)
So you know what would be awesome? If this mode was attached with the parental control. If the console has parental control on for under a certain age, this mode would be locked. For a age higher, it could be toggled on/off
@nocdaes no, it's 3 (Fates, Echoes, 3Houses, but we can count 4, including the smartphone game Heroes). If you include spin-offs (Warriors and 3 Hopes), secondary participations (Tokyo Mirage Sessions) and a port (of Tokyo Mirage Sessions, a port of a secondary participation) you should count Tropical Freeze (Switch), Mario + Rabbids (s entire DLC for him) and and all Mario party/sports games. You should count NSO games and VC too
F-Zero doesn't need that much efford. If they simply make a remaster of AX/GX (including all the content and MAYBE some new) it would get a good reception.
Star Fox Zero should have the same treatment, just ignore the use of 2 screens (the players can swap screens as they want) and a little polish on the grafics and it`s ready to go (I finished the game with gamepad only and didn't miss the second screen)
I really like what happened with Tomb Raider/Uncharted games: Uncharted is clearly based on pick the Tomb Raider bases and take at to a new level (way better the the last games) but the Tomb Raider reboot take the ideas os Uncharted and expanded it too. It's like a brainstorm based on finished products instead a preproduction meeting
It's hypocrisy. Even if you're not openly talk about something, if you experience it, it can someway influence you. How can you play a good game, and make a new game with the same basics (an armored character, in a futuristic FPS, against aliens...) And not be influenced?
@HeadPirate Agreed, but returning should be an obligate police, not optional. Yes, should have some control to avoid people buy, play until the end and return. But a product without minimal pratical quality (it's not tight to the efford or capacity of the professionals, but the product itself) should not be allowed buy the store or the store accept returnings
On reviews usually I read only the conclusion, joys, cons and final grade, trying to don't get spoillers. That was enough to hype me even more than I was
Seriously, anything but Zelda/Persona/Fire Emblem are meaningless in this list. P5S is great, but I prefer the Steam version. Among these 3 I think the order is not important, but I would not give that huge gap between any of them. They all deserve a 8.5-9 for me
Age of Calamity (to explore the lore of BotW) Fire Emblem Warriors (for the more Polish gameplay) Hyrule Warriors (for setting what should be a Warrior game ith a Nintendo franchise)
@cookepuss exactly. I can't say for sure it's ripped off assets, it's depends of a deeper analysis. But I think anyone can tell it's almost a copy, at least. Knowing Nintendo, I think they won't let this happened without any kind of warning. It's a shame, I really liked the game itself. I'll buy it if it becomes real
I'm not a Silent Hill fan, but I'd try if they release. But what I really want from Konami is a Metal Gear Collection (MSX games, Solid 1-5, Rising, PSP games...)
Mega Drive Classics on Steam have Sonic 1, 2, 3&K and we can buy Sonic CD separately. I already have them all and Mania, Generations and Sonic 4 ep 1&2. That's good enouth for me, I may get origins if they have a sale with at least 80% off, but only for curiosity
I know nobody agrees with me, but my favorite is Star Fox Zero. It's an absolutely well made game and the best way to play is only look to ONE screen (I played without a tv, using only the gamepad) and change the game view as you need it.
Should be legal to download and emulate games sfter 10 years they stop production or official selling (for digital games). But the company should have the right to sell it's own emulated products in newer systems to not allowed free emulation.
I know it's not that way, but that's the way I do. I only emulate old games and if it have a collection I buy it (like Castlevania Anniversary and Advance Collections). I'm really anxious to buy Cowabanga Collection (Sonic Origins I won't, I already have the games on Mega Drive Collection on Steam)

Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis Of Bayonetta 3
@Grumblevolcano I don't believe a new hardware in May. Maybe latter in 2023. Maybe TotK delays and they come together.
I was expecting a real upgrade when the OLED come, but unfortunately it doesn't

Re: Four Sega Genesis / Mega Drive Games Have Been Added To Switch Online's Expansion Pack
Comix Zone was a great game. Target Earth and Zero Wing I never heard about before. I never played Willy Wars, but I'm pretty sure it's a collection
Re: Random: Nintendo Shareholder Apparently Asked For A New F-Zero At General Meeting

Re: You Can Wield The Monado In Xenoblade Chronicles 3 With amiibo Support
