I tried a lot of games at NSO (even if it's only for some minutes) but really played these: Metroid, Kid Icarus, Zelda, Zelda II, Super Mario, Super Mario 2, Super Mario 3 and Lost Levels. That's enough for me. I could play TMNT 2 (the remake is coming to Switch) and TMNT 3 or try a little bit Yo! Noid and Terminator 2, but I don't believe any of these will ever came to NSO (maybe Yo!Noid)
But anyway I would buy these controllera at thia price, but Nintendo don't delivery in Brazil. The SNES Controllers I would pay full price if it come here
@Xenobound94 it's more complicated than this. Yeah, there is no storage or distribution, but they're giving access for multiple users when they would have the license to play one at a time (supposing it have one licence). And to tell the truth, you you downloaded to your PC's cache memory when you try to use it. It's temporary, but it's a kind of storage
I don't think a "Nintendo Game Pass" makes sense (from Nintendo's point of view). Nintendo sells pretty well it's games and to match the numbers the service would be very expensive or have a insane number of subscribers. But "a game pass" makes sense. I'd love MS gamepass on the switch and subscribe in a heartbeat. When a game is available, my preference is PC gamepass, then steam/GOG/Epic/etc, then Switch (basically I only purchase exclusives/firstparties), but some criteria would make me pick the switch version: Controls (like RE Revelations) or PC cross save (like The Witcher 3 and Fenyx)
I would like to see XCloud and some games at Switch. Local games could be minor games (for MS point of view) like Rare Replay, Battletoads, Banjo... And the major games through XCloud. Nintendo could give the NES and SNES app to MS
The "mirror effect was simply a way to tell the world "hey, our motion control is so precise that it's make a big difference" (and it's totally false). But besides of that, for me it's the best Zelda ever, maybe the best game ever. I prefer the map of GC, but I simply adore the Wii gameplay, it was the news at the time (Now I prefer a more standard control, that's why Wii I version is the best for me)
@SepticLemon Yes, I know and that's exactly why I thought It should be automatically sync with my switch when I put the Switch Profile. But when I go to other profile and go back I need to resync again. It happend all the time with the Switch and my Phone. Now I use the controller almost exclusivelly with my phone because of this (I have a original Switch pro Controller too)
I have the 8BitDo Pro Plus and I'm really disappointed. I bought it to play Switch, PC and Android. Yes, I can play in all my devices, but it's a pain to change between them I sincronize with one of each and it should stay that way (that's different modes, so I would only need to change the type to sync with the previous device) but I need resync every single time.
The "invitation letter" is so specific, I don't agree it's not promissing. They may saying he is not able to confirm until the official announcement (when the characters shows their "invitation letters")
I know it's the common opinion, but I disagree. Wind Waker on the GC is a pain that hurts a lot, I didn't have the patience to even finish the game. On the Wii U I gave another shot and it's way better. It's very good, not as good as it should for a Zelda Game, but good and I finished it. I can buy for the third time, but it need to be in a pack or with major content addition, I won't pay 60 USD (or even 299 BRL) for a Wii U remaster in this case
@Expa0 Metroid isn't dead. At least not so soon. If Prime 4 doesn't sells well... I'll start to get worried. That's why I expect at least one minor game this year (Trilogy collection, a 2D remake or sequel) to keep it in the media before MP4
I think Animal Crossing will be somehow prized with a celebration (may be a DLC) and I'm expecting at least one game for Metroid (remaster, collection, remake, 2D sequel... Anything but Prime 4) the others they will receive a twitter/Instagram post or a My Nintendo "gifts", if they do anything.
@nessisonett in fact 4k is 4 times FHD, not HD (it's 9 times HD). In the case (HD, FHD, 4K) I agree, but I can't see a real difference between 4k and 8k, maybe at a ridiculous big screen, but it's not practical for most people (even if we're not talking about money)
@Dm9982 completely agree. HDR and RT are far more important than resolution. I prefer a 1080p HDR RT than a 4K without these techs. But there's a visible difference between 1080p and 4k (if you can put 4k with all the quality)
I didn't. I played a lot the game (5 star save on Wii U and four with the fifth on the way on Switch) but I never actually played multiplayer. The closest I was to multiplayer was add another character in the end of the level to try to finish with multiple characters at once
The SN30 Pro+ is a nightmare when you have more than one device and need to change between than. I bought it exactly to do this and regret it (I intend to use on Switch, PC and Android). I'll sell it and may buy this new one
I play this game a loooot in my cousin's house (he had a Phantom System, a NES clone, and I had a Master System). We played this, TMNT 3 (at his house) and TMNT 4 (in mine, I had a SNES and he had a Mega Drive).
@JoakimZ understand. But I genuinely intended to buy both of them. I really into P5S and G&G was part of my childhood, I'm curious (but at least in a half price). I'm wandering if when I bought them I'll get the spirits automatically (it could take some time, specially G&G)
@nessisonett in this case, the "broke" is paper Mario. Wipe the memory is a turning on job and Paper Mario doesn't. But i'm asking myself how they discover this
I think Zelda 1 and 2 should stay where they are. VC/NSO Should bem they way for people who want to revisit or curious people how want to know the series bases by themselves. They were great games at the time (specially Zelda 1), but too superficial for now days standards
In the other hand, all other isometric Zelda should have Link's Awakening treatment, specially Oracles.
I'm pretty sure that Nintendo will release this new version this year, but I think it won't be as powerful as many people hope. I think Nintendo isn't thinking about "next gen switch" for this year, only a upgrade. The main goal is to get closer to stable 720p (portable) and 1080p (native in the dock) with the same "standard mode" of the original/lite Switch and may be some new features in the system. Here what I think
The SoC should be "the same", higher clocks and more power efficient, but that's it.
The memory (with higher clocks) may gain some gigas to handle with more features in the system (or even more textures for docking mode)
The Screen should be the same resolution, but with a higher quality
The Storage should double (at least). I would love NVMe support instead of MicroSD for expansion, but I doubt it.
The dock may have a Upscaling tecnology
All upcoming games should work in portable/dock with the new system and the regular one (and the lite, of course) and Nintendo NEED to garantee this for all first party games. But if I was Nintendo, I would let thirdies to put some games only in the new system. This could be useful for some multiplatform ports.
I'm a huge fan of hack'n Slash, was very hyped with this game and pre ordered it. But I played a few hours and didn't adapted. Now it's in my backlog and definitely I'll give another chance some day, but probably anytime soon
I bought the game with season pass in the December sale, but I only try for some minutes. Probably when I start to play all DLC will already be launched
I really don't believe in native 4k. Maybe with DLSS or other Upscaling technology. Probably they focus in a STABLE 1080p @60. And I really hope for they abandoned microsd and use NVME. Obviously with full retrocompatibility (games and accessories). I should buy as soon as possible
Probably a stupid intern's job. He would heard about a negotiation to put these games on NSO in a near future (April/21, with the New N64 app?) and make a mass. I want all N64's Rare games on NSO, specially Get Force Gemini, but if Rare legacy games come to Switch it seems like they will come through Rare Replay or Game Pass (but I think Nintendo will never allowed GP in MS terms)
@GrandScribe that's not exactly true. For exemple, I have a friend over 35 years that I sometimes (almost every non-serious conversation) call with "racist" terms and he don't bother when it came from me (and use other terms to speak to me) and it not even close to "hate" ou anything like that, we're brothers. But if we play online I could get banned this way. And I NEVER use terms like that to anyone else.
