Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Checking Out Switch Online's Virtual Boy Service?

ROBLOGNICK

I am in to this on Day One! Back in the Noughties, I bought a Virtual Boy off eBay sealed but it didn't work. Was gutted. So I've never been able to play one. So I'm really all in here.

I've got both the cardboard and replica and I will be playing EVERY game. I might even take couple of days off work to celebrate! Lol. It'll feel like having a a whole new system! And I always take days off for those.

Re: Nintendo Is "Acting To Protect The Industry" With Switch 2 Game Key Cards, Says Ex-Capcom Composer

ROBLOGNICK

Well I don't buy it.

"Do physical items outside of digital products last forever? Most of the time, they don’t, right? Physical things always have a lifespan and will eventually break. Digital products, on the other hand, generally don’t have a lifespan."

Rubbish, people are still able to play their NES games if they've taken care of them. They're surprisingly hardy. Sure, battery backup might fail, but can be fixed.

Digital items, as the articles says, last only as long as the service is provided unless you have them downloaded to your own storage. And even then you can't guarantee you'll be able to play that game because those consoles often require a connection check you have a licence.

The only good thing about Game Key Cards is that you can sell them on. But that's generally not what I'm interested in doing so as far as I'm concerned I'm never buying one.

Re: Mini Review: The Exit 8 - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - Unnerving Horror Loop Is Worth The Budget Price

ROBLOGNICK

£1 to upgrade to the Switch 2 version? Sure, I'll pay that. Turns out there were five additional anomalies and those anomalies weren't particularly exciting. The graphics do look a LOT better. The movement feels much smoother. But there's still this awful fuzziness around any kind of movement and the posters being so blurry at a short distance is disappointing. It's really enjoyed this game though when I played it on Switch and enjoyed this quick little run-through again. I was hoping we'd maybe get a trailer for the movie or something. It's apparently still looking for distribution outside of Japan but I may need to hunt that down as I'm desperate to watch it. I hope that the new game this developer is making appears on Switch 2. Platform 8 is also really good. Highly recommend that too.

Re: Switch 2's HDR Looking Washed Out On Your TV? Here's The Fix

ROBLOGNICK

I have an LG C2. I figured out where the HGIG settings are but I don’t have an Xbox for his next step (ridiculous step) and then everything he said after that made no sense to me, so I don’t understand what to do with he brightness bar on the second screen so I’ve adjusted it to what I think looks good.

Not sure I really notice the difference to be honest.

Re: Talking Point: Will You Be Buying Any Game-Key Card Switch 2 Games?

ROBLOGNICK

They're just a waste of plastic and will become worthless once the servers shut down. I will buy digital games but they have to be heavily discounted. I'm talking not much more than £10. I will very happily buy a game I want on physical format for full price as I know I could dig that out the cupboard in 20 years and still play it. Or it will have more value than the digital copy equivalent in that time. Game Key Cards are a waste of plastic. I do get that they do allow you to give the key card to someone else, or sell it. But once the eShop shuts down so does access to the game. So I will be supporting games that are completely on a game card.

Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 20.0.0 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

ROBLOGNICK

I don't understand what Online Licence settings is.

"When turned on, you can play downloaded software or DLC you've purchased while the system is connected to the internet, even if you don't have the virtual game card loaded.

So does that mean if you've sent the game to another system via virtual game card, as long as you're connected to the internet you can still play the game?

Re: Analyst States That Switch 2's Price Won't "Really Matter" For Early Adopters

ROBLOGNICK

I'm expecting this to be £380-£400. I will pay that and think it's a fair price. It's 2025. Things are expensive whether we agree that they should be or not.

But anything above £400 is going to kill it for the GP / casual market. I wouldn't underestimate the early adopter market Nintendo has increased through the Switch though.

Back in 2011 when the 3DS was released, that was too expensive and it bombed. Also because it didn't really have the games I suppose.
