If they don't have motion based aiming that works perfectly I'm going to pass. RE4 Wii Edition ruined all RE games for me. The IR aiming was so precise it really got me into the feeling of it being a survival game because every bullet had a much higher chances of being a headshot.

@TheAwesomeBowser Well it was really a two part joke (a bad one).

Part 1: South Korea has some of the best internet in the world so surely any service would be highly usable if operating within it. So to imply it might struggle is a joke.

Part2: I joked about Nintendos online services being “demanding” because the popular opinion is that said services are quite basic and backwards, hence it’s not even close to demanding. That being said if the code base and hardware that powers it are inefficient it might actually be demanding despite being limited. So yeah... Funny...

Jokes are funnier explained in detail!

Can South Korea's online infrastructure handle such a demanding network service? Time will tell.

Was not even on my radar but then I read the comments on this thread. Guess I have to jump in.

I struggled to get into it, I think it was the control scheme, might have to try again, but unlikely to get a Switch port.

Came here to say, "Great work on the article title. Love it."

@link3710 I guess I don't have one. #shame #shame #shame

@Pikachupwnage Eh, it could be better maybe ok for a huge company, but you should read the actual reviews, seems to be a pretty old school boys club mentality which isn't surprising. Don't get me wrong I love Nintendo and think they are a great company but they aren't a perfect shining example of how to grow a healthy company culture.

Oh and by the way, before you deem Nintendo to be "caring" you should check out their glass door reviews. https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Nintendo-of-America-Reviews-E4173.htm

You should write that Article.

Saw Diablo on sale in the eshop last night after reading this on Polygon and didn't pull the trigger as a result. Not saying I'm boycotting them, but it made me feel gross to think about giving them money while they're letting people go (needlessly depending on how you look at it).

That being said I'm sure this was the plan all along, (Crush out products, hit record numbers, lower overhead to keep all the cash while a 2019/2020 strategy gets figured out). Capitalism can be very ugly.

@DTfeartheBEARD AH got it, thanks for clarifying.

Does this have LAN or direct co-op between two Switches? Hope so.

@DTfeartheBEARD So you're not fundamentally against LMG? Just wondering because it seems people don't like them. I've never bought anything from them, but was considering getting this.

@DTfeartheBEARD Why?

I can think of dozens of ways they could add value... And that is the problem.

@DanteSolablood Point taken. I just wanted to be sure because I always thought that it was stored on the SD card which you confirmed it is, I wanted to be sure I had that right. It would be awesome if the carts could be updated, I'd buy way more physical copies, but obviously that would leave them vulnerable to hacking.

@Nintendofan83 3DS Game updates actually update the cart? Are You sure?

@MarioBrax I see what you did there!

Cloud saves for all games so you could actually keep save data completely in sync... But yeah... Not happening.

@Giygas_95 I liked the 2nd one and completed it on Wii U, but I did find that the combat could just be button mashing and the skill unlocks were really just fun bonuses. I might go for this though, because, well, button mashing is fun.

@LowRyder I don’t necessarily align with you on this, but I can say it’s crazy there are no customizable aspects to the switch OS aside from a light and dark user interface. It certainly would encourage people to hack their system to customize it like you said.

I’m not necessarily against hacking, but I’m certainly against stealing. That being said it seems people always get worked up about a console being hacked, however isn’t a PC the most hackable gaming platform, almost by design?

Anyway, this sort of thing is how we’re going to end up with always on Internet connections being required for DRM checks. See XBox One E3 annoucement.

@Rhaoulos Nice contribution to the conversation.

@thatawesomedude I did consider it, but I feel like Nintendo wouldn’t do that. I feel like they’d just keep them removable. But to your point, yes, permanently attached joy-cons wouldn’t prevent other wirless controllers from beign used.

I just can't imagine a version without remove-able joy-cons. So many games and many of the benefits of the switch being mobile have to do with table top mode and being able to detach the joy con's on the go. Motion controls would be difficult in that configuration as well. Too many reason not to do it.

I'd pay $100 for a desktop size one, but that's just too big, I'd have to dedicate an entire corner to it in my house.

@SwitchForce But why would I do it? What could my possible motive be? What do I get by “misleading” people about the facts of physical purchases vs digital ones? I’ll say my quick comment didn’t include a complete list of pros and cons for each, but I was just stating that I prefer digital and it’s because most games today require patches that have to be downloaded so the benefit of buying physical to protect your library into the future is lost in some cases. You don’t have to agree, but to say I’m trying to mislead people is absurd.

@SwitchForce Dude. You’re crazy. It was just my opinion, which the article asks us to share. Misleading would mean I was trying to gain something from intentionaly lying to people. What could I possibly gain here? You need to loosen up man. You made some valid points, but they’re lost amongst your crazy. Happy Holidays!

I totally understand why people would have physical collections, but in this day and age it doesn’t make a difference because most games require significant patches anyway so that’s why I always just go digital.

@aznable Feel the same. Can't believe this is real. Remake SAGA and we are good to go.

Gonna buy it on my Sega Genesis instead for the blood.

@Kawaiipikachu Please elaborate. I’m genuinely interested.

@SwitchForce ok.

At this point I want to put my amiibo collection into a box and light it on fire.

This kind of derails the argument about how Zelda (an alleged female) should star in her own game. Link has no sex organs, therefore there is not a valid argument that TLOZ only has males as playable characters. I don't know about you but I'm relieved.

@SwitchForce k.

@SwitchForce I'm sorry I don't understand. I wasn't whining I was just sharing my stance on amiibo.

I threw the towel in on Amiibos, they started cranking out to many to keep up with and we all know they're not making enough of each one.

@tetrapod You got me I read the headline. Got two kids, no time to read. I’m sorry.

@Trajan Advertising and affiliate links, basically how this site makes money. But to everyone’s point yes I agree they probably don’t have that money. I’ll put myself in the box of shame now.

Initially you’d think Nintendo was being heavy handed, but the fact that they settled at over $12 million makes it clear these people were cashing in big time on their IP. They got what they deserved.

Ok. Now I'll buy it.

I think it will be part of the online subscription service. I don't see Nintendo putting out a physical N64 with 4 controller ports, good luck finding 4 controllers if they do, plus that will be expensive. Seriously the controller alone is twice as big as any of the other Classic Consoles.

Come to think of it if they did release a physical controller there would be a freaking run on them every time they were in stock. N64 control sticks wear out and parts are becoming harder to find every year. I'd buy 4 brand new Nintendo made N64 controllers right now if I could.

Ugh, I'm annoyed that I'm probably going to buy this even though I can't import my character from the PC/Mac Version.

@Anti-Matter Um, maybe it's a language barrier, but I think you miss-understood my comment.

Definition of class act: an example of outstanding quality or prestige

Nintendo. Always a class act.

Lego games just aren't the same without Trophies/Achievements, which is what makes them fun little collect-a-thons.

I really want to know if they coded the Joy-Con colors and if so what does it look like when they are attched to the switch.

I stopped buying that garbage after Modern Warfare II which I played for about all of 5mins. Rainbow 6 Siege is a thousand times better and even it is not that great. Gross.

Is there any chance whatsoever that the new service won’t experince massive interruptions as the 20MM+ switch console out there attempt to connect to it within the same 48hr window? I mean think about how much save data needs to be pushed to the cloud on that first day alone. I’m predicting some serious hiccups within the first week or so.
