I think it depends if BotW 2 is going to be ready for Christmas. If it isn't then the new version of the Switch will be pushed back. I also wouldn't be surprised if Metroid Prime 4 is a key factor in new Switch hardware as well.
I know it's probably my old eyes, but I read the other day that a game I was playing was 720p docked and it surprised me because I thought it looked gorgeous. Lol.
This is a bit dramatic I think. It's commonly known that Nintendo is quite a cash rich company and the Wii U underperforming wouldn't have depleted anywhere near that. With Nintendo putting all its eggs in one basket with the Switch, I think it was a pretty safe bet that it would sell better than the Wii U as well.
I downloaded it and tried it. It was ... OK. The story was good and delivered in a fun way I've not really seen before in a game. The world was quite nice looking and seemed a little busier than Hyrule so that was good. The water is terrible. The climbing is not as good as BotW. The controls are overly complicated and not at all intuitive. I kept forgetting the countless number of combinations by the time any enemy of significance was on screen. Flying felt nice and so did the bow and arrow (the one that you can fly through those hoops to get the bonus chest was awesome!).
I find it funny that the the bundle with Super Mario 3D world is actually a penny more expensive than ordering it all separately because they put some joy-con stick covers in the mix.
So the way you can tell is the texture on the moustache and the awful colouring around the eyes? Otherwise it's a direct copy.
What I find hilarious about this is that Nintendo (and other companies that have also done this) don't have a local server with all their images on. They just go on Google images and go, 'yeah I'll use that one' and not even care where it comes from. I guess it's their copyright really so there's not much artist can do I'd imagine.
It smarts a little though when you consider Nintendo take down all the fan created games and then go 'we'll take that and use it on our website thank you very much'.
I saw the photos of this the other day and it looks so tightly packed in which is not great, currently. Still, I'm excited to see what this place looks like in a close up perspective.
Quantic Dreams? As in Quantic Dreams that made Heavy Rain, Detroit and Fahrenheit? OK wow. That's surprising! It looks OK. Looked a bit Last Guardian in places with those giant monsters.
This'll be what Nintendo reveal at the Geoff Keighley Awards, er, I mean the Game Awards. There'll be at least one Fortnite character in Smash too. And please God let the Trilogy HD remasters finally come out.
I think these Picross S games are really sterile feel. They have no personality to them. I'm still on Picross S 1 and I don't think I'll bother with any others. I remember when they images you'd uncover would animate. The 3D version (first, not second) also had a good feel about it. Shame these don't recreate that magic.
No sound is a deal breaker sadly. The lag you get with bluetooth those bluetooth dongles is too much of an annoyance. Otherwise I think this looks actually would be great.
Doesn't look like mine is going to arrive until tomorrow. Nintendo really missed a trick by not making this a connected device that can download additional Game & Watch games. Imagine if you had a Nintendo Online subscription and could download old single screen Game & Watch titles. Then next year Nintendo release a dual screen version.
I bought it last year when it was like £7 or something but didn't actually play it until last week. It was nice. But I played it in one and the exploration elements were a little boring. The set pieces the game takes you through though were wonderful. I'd say it was absolutely worth it at 90% off!
I can't say it doesn't look cool to me, a kid that grew up in the mid-80s and early 90s. I, and older people, are probably the target market. But we all know it's not going to look anything like that right? They'll run out of money.
Did they console they were touting launch yet?
I find it funny that Atari are going backwards. Soon they'll be selling playing cards and mahjong tables.
That does look like it feels like a proper Mario Kart game. And I would LOVE to try it, but I don't have anywhere to actually set up a course in my home.
I liked the demo of this actually. Surprised it's not out yet. Even with 20% off, £15.99 seems a little steep as I wasn't convinced it was much more than a linear narrative story disguised as open world.
What a load of absolute tripe. Milla and her husband ruin these Capcom games they've somehow managed to get film licenses to. (Admittedly Resi 1 and 2 film were OK, they're good guilty pleasure films).
This does seem about six months too late but COVID-19 I suppose. I sold my Animal Crossing amigo card in June and made some good money off them - I don't need them anymore as I can't remember the last time I played Animal Crossing. Which is such a shame. I wish I could enjoy it.

Re: Sonic The Hedgehog Movie Sequel Gets Official Name Reveal Trailer
They very obvious Sonic 2 on the MegaDrive homage with the music and the addition of tales. I truly hope they wait for Sonic 3 before we get Knuckles!

@GannonBanned Sorry bad choice of words. I meant new Switch colour (red) which I’m going to get.

Re: The Outer Worlds' First Expansion Comes To Nintendo Switch Next Week
Hmmm, it's cheap to buy on Amazon right now. If it wasn't for Mario 3D World and the new Switch, I'd definitely be interested. Dammit.
Re: Nintendo Won't Be Announcing A New Switch Model "Any Time Soon"
I'm willing to bet we'll be getting the Switch Pro for Christmas. Or at least an announcement for whenever BotW 2 is released.
Re: Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury Frame Rate And Resolution Detailed

I'm very excited for this and the red Switch.

Love Mike Choi. I would totally buy something like from Nintendo though Mike shows that this particular method does not work very well!
Re: The SNES Almost Got A Zelda-Style Back To The Future II RPG

Using the dock as a way to boost the performance so it can to 4K is a no brainer, surely?

Re: Feature: Nintendo Switch Ports We'd Love To See In 2021
