Re: Review: Princess Peach: Showtime! (Switch) - Peach Breaks A Leg In A High-Class Production

Ramouz

@-wc- Played quite a lot of Wonder, nearing end game. Also not a fan of the presentation. The world map is horrible and very confusing. Sometimes it feels and looks like a mobile game. Can't believe they launched that.

It's a good game but not as good as New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. NSMBUD (lol) is more challenging, funner, doesn't need badges, has more default movements, and you can pick up, throw, and jump on other co-op characters. Funny and fun game.

About Princess Peach Showtime, I bought the physical version, we'll see how it goes. Demo was fun though.

Re: Nintendo President Reiterates Switch Software Support Into FY24/25

Ramouz

@xenobladexfan they need to release it this year but they won't.
I only buy Nintendo games on it now and even then, I am careful now and stopping that too until the next machine. This one is so slow and weak. I made a few mistakes last year until I got a series x. Had to rebuy some games there. Now I only buy there or on my laptop (RTX 4080).

Re: Review: Poi: Explorer Edition (Switch)

Ramouz

Played it on Xbox. Great little game. Took about 9 hours and a half to 100%. Jumping and controlling the character are great. Dashing needs work but it works. Every few levels, there is something that appears or happens so there are side quests and challenges to do with some secrets to find.

Levels are fine. Need some more details with some improved graphics here and there. Levels could be bigger too.

Controls are fine and you can zoom in and out, zoom to shoulder view, reset camera, run by holding the roll button, etc.

Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: Mystery Gift Codes List

Ramouz

The codes should be permanent and not expire, at least the ones with Pokémon like Mew. What if our Switch stops working? Etc. This game has no cloud save and they don't let us download backup saves, arg.. Nintendo... Same with Animal Crossing.

Re: Nintendo Reportedly Showed 'Switch 2' Demos To Developers At Gamescom

Ramouz

@Not_Soos Same. If it's not backward compatible, I won't rebuy any older game anymore if they relaunch. I am holding off on Pikmin 4 and Tears of the Kingdom for now until they launch the next machine as I don't want those games at 30 fps. Makes no sense in 2023 (even in 2018 it made no sense). I buy everything on my laptop (4080) and Xbox series X, which is a way better machine from hardware to software/UI.

Nintendo lost my sales many times in the past many years because of the weak machine, not that they care since many keep buying, unfortunately. Why play the same game found elsewhere at 30 fps and low res? I'm referring to non exclusives of course.
I only buy Nintendo only games on Switch. But, I stopped a few months ago to see if their new one will be backward compatible. Xbox and PlayStation have done so.

And their controllers aren't that great. The pro lacks triggers but it's not a bad controller and the Joy-Cons have bad connectivity and are totally uncomfortable. Xbox controllers are a bit loud but connect almost instantly with no issues and have triggers. PS4/5 controllers but with Xbox layout would be the best.

Re: Mario Movie Home Release Bonus Features Seemingly Detailed

Ramouz

@RetroGames - Haven't seen the movie yet as we expect to buy the one with bonus content, especially so that my children can enjoy it. I am happy to hear that horrid agenda isn't really part of it, though I did notice the bonus content title and wondered why only her (she's clearly not the most important role)? Is that Nintendo's decision?
It's incredibly rare to watch any other movie lately without agendas so we've been skipping many movies, and actually stopped watching many of them midway due to the number of blatant agendas in there. It's almost time to completely stop watching secular movies. They are just too at it.

I did hear that Nintendo did a great job with this though so that's a positive.

Re: Sharp Is Supplying LCD Displays For A 'New Console' As Fans Await Switch Successor

@JohnnyMind - Greediness: charging the same amount for a game that started on the Wii and has had multiple re-releases. They're the only company that charges 79.99 CAD after 5 years, and their sales are only a few dollars off. I'm happy to pay for them on sale because most of their games are replayable, but I would have much preferred paying a lot less, especially for games that have been re-released.

I'm well aware of the Wii working on Wii U. GameCube on the Wii. But that's where it ends, only 2 consoles.

Seriously, don't fight against me. I'm sure we all agree here we want to see Nintendo supporting games on consoles 18 years from now, like Xbox does. There are so many Wii games I wanted to be able to play on the Switch. Fishing Resort, all the Mii games like Wii Party, Wii Music, Wii Play, Wii Sports/Resort, MySims series, Mario Party series, etc., and would have liked quite a few from GameCube also.

I'm sure the next "Switch" will have backwards compatibility but for how long.. so we'll see. Again, we all want to see them supporting it for nearly forever. What's more pathetic is their graphics capability. Not much has changed since the GameCube.

Re: Sharp Is Supplying LCD Displays For A 'New Console' As Fans Await Switch Successor

Hopefully they make it 2k - QHD minimum, with a graphics card equal to at least an Xbox Series S. They'll probably stick with that machine for 4-8 years so they can't cheapen out. It will still be out of date when and if they launch it next year, but at least it will be powerful enough for their games and many others.

The biggest issue is what will they do with all the low FPS-games they gave us in the past 5 years? Some Kirby games, Zelda, etc. I truly hope they have a solution where the graphics will be improved by a lot and FPS raised. I'm hoping they just need to enable those in the code via an update and not have to redo games and engines and so on.

@Banksie OLED hurts my eyes more than LCD. I don't believe it's safe for viewing long term. No one seems to care and it's strange.

@Bloodmetal @awaltzforvenus - Same. I think I'd give up on Nintendo, or at least try to, if they don't support the Switch's games. Now that I have an Xbox Series X, it is just a way better console than the Switch. I can even play many original Xbox and Xbox 360 games. I only have a Switch for exclusive Switch games. As great as they are, it would be a huge insult on all of us who spent so much money on their games.

I don't want to keep multiple consoles just to play previous games. We still have a Wii U for that. Nintendo has to stop this.

Making the same game multiple times, at the same high price, and acting like they can't make it backward compatible when PS5 and Xbox have done so for years now is a deception.. and it shows how greedy they are.

I really like cartridges and hope they stick with them though, and perhaps add 2 slots. That would let us play Switch games.

Re: Fishing Resort

Ramouz

Really hoping for this to show up on the Switch! Go Vacation was ported over, would love this too! What an experience it would be.

Re: Review: Supraland - A Playful Platformer With Squandered Potential

Ramouz

I am deeply disappointed that Nintendo did not upgrade the graphics card in 2019 and in 2021. Strange decisions they take.
Graphics are somewhat nicer on PC and much smoother.
I only tried the demo for a few hours and loved it! I will be buying all the bundle and the new game soon (I buy only on sale) on Steam. The score here is unfair and doesn't reflect the game. Comments here confirm that.
