Yeah, I can see that. That Phil Spencer-guy is one of the best personalities that's happened the gaming industry in recent years. Funny how it might bring Activision support to Switch with the company owned by Microsoft/Xbox, while as an independent third-party, they gave Switch minimal support.

YES!
Advance Wars Re:boot-camp details, please. Metroid Prime Remake, then Im all set for 2022.

@Richnj

Nope, it's equal bad of a crime stealing from a wealthy corporation as from a struggling one. There is no robin hood-excuses for any type of crime. We can't start giving criminals excuses because they rob a wealthy old lady in the streets instead of a poor one.
We agree on that violent crimes should be punished harsher. But the solution is not to be softer on theft and that sort of crimes, There is big, big problems with that type of crime in the US. The correct way to go about it is tougher on crime across the board, especially violent crimes. We need to start locking up lifestyle criminals for life. 3 times and you're out, that's a very good policy.

Crime is on the rise, have you completely missed that? This is no time to speak for softening up. We have people setting in system of mass-looting. It's on the brink of mutiny. It's really the time now to set the foot down and lock 'em up.

@Richnj

What the company is worth hasn't anything to do with it, you don't get a free pass to commit crimes against big companies because they make money. And one wrong doesn't make another wrong right. If the penalties for sexual assault is too light, then the way of correcting it is not to make penalties for theft lighter. The correct way is to be tougher on crime across the board.

@Arawn93

I don't get it. Why would anyone take a criminal in defense because he "went against a big company"? It's like taking the rioters in California in defense because they steal from companies. I rather take those companies in defense rather than crims that think the world owes them a living.

@Jmjfrank

I actually have no problems at all with Goldeneye controls even today when I play it on my good ol' 64. I find them actually to be easier than modern console FPS, as by the shooting gallery-like game design, you don't really do much aiming.

I really hope Nintendo and Microsoft makes the real deal here, and brings it to both Switch and Gamepass with onlineplay and united player pool. I really miss classic non-Call of Duty FPS multiplayer like Goldeneye...

I think OG Switch pretty much is at the limit in what I can accept for a portable system when comes to bulkiness/size, wight and batterylife. Deck is a good idea, but as it's just too big, plus only digital, with 2 hrs battery life. I think it should probably be sent back to the writing table. 64GB is really Nothing when it can't take any physical games. Nintendo Switch only works for me as the majority of the bigger games I own are on cartridge.

lol, they could really had done a bit more work on the design. xD

@meeto_1

It works as crime declined greatly in most of US when more or less general tough on crime-policys was introduced in the 90's. Sure, the criminals has been locked up in great numbers since then, but that's not a problem. Criminals paying for their crimes is NOT a problem, it's proof that the policing actually works and gets results. US is a greatly diverse country, there will always be high crime in a country like that compared to small northern countries. That can't be changed. The important thing is that it works to lock criminals up. They can't do crimes in the society while being locked up.

@AugustusOxy

Im pretty sure that tough on crime do work. As long as people know the rules, that their particular criminal lifestyle might result in doing serious jail time, then I can hardly see how it's unfair or morally wrong to sentence them harshly. They have the option to quit the lifestyle of crime.

@icomma

Criminals stop doing crimes, then we don't have to lock people up. Things were A LOT worse in the US in the 70s-80s when there were no tough on crime-policys. Imprisoning criminals isn't really the problem. That we can see now when California lets thieves off, crime skyrockets.

@CharlieGirl

If Nintendo lost money or not, that I'd say you don't know. I'd say there is a good chance they lost a lot of money by a substantial number of Switch-owners downloaded/pirated their games for free instead of paying for them. Nintendo got a solid case here.

@Spider-Kev

I think you're the joke xD

@N64-ROX

You do the crime, then you better be prepared to do the time.

Bye-Bye!

@Spider-Kev

Nintendo of America is US-based.

SO excited for this, it's insane. I liked Octopath Traveler, but I prefer tactical RPG:s every day.

looks mighty fine

No problems. Better to get it right.

He should pay off Facebook and Twitter too, so they'll take down any information about bad things at Activision as "desinformation" and "Harmful information".

@Pokester99

Just stating facts. Either you're a fanboy, or you simple don't remember how the games looked like back in the PS3 days. Either way, try not to get so angry. It's not good for you...

Very few other AAA-games comes even close to some of the rendering-tech of the nature elements i Botw.

Hall effect sensors does have something called time drift. Meaning they probably won't have drift in the same meaning as Switch, PS5, Xbox etc, but they might however get lower accuracy over time

@Pokester99

Id say no PS3, PS4, PS5 game to date matches the physics-driven environmental detail like Botw, with it's grass, water physics when raining etc. Ofc. not because they can't do it, but because most of the Sony studios prioritizes other graphic details. Just compare Botw with Horizon zero dawn, the PS4-game does look a lot better in texture detail and stuff, but the world is totally static...

Never liked it, "Kit and Krysta" never felt genuine, gave the feeling of just corporate PR-people trying to do a fake gaming YT-channel. I miss the good ol' days with Club Nintendo.

Anyways, there are so many good YT-Nintendo channels out there, without being officially Nintendo, just done by real gaming enthusiasts.

No.
I think it should shrink after launch

Wont even consider it before it's on sale and can boost decent resolutions and performance. 480p 20fps, what a joke...

It pretty much tells me that Im sticking to the 299USD Switch. It gives me all the games I need and good enough graphics and performance. I see no reason what so ever to pay 1299 for any console in the world...

@Seb_is_the_best

Yep. It's fixed dates by God himself. Can't be changed no matter what lol!

@BlueOcean

Not True. See no reson getting a game like two point hospital on PS4 instead of Switch...pretty huge deal being able to play it both on tv and handheld..

@Mdhoover

yeah, thats true. Noticed that I played for 8hrs just to take me off the ship in the beginning, lol

@Tisteg80 I think we expected a better looking and playing game. GTA Trilogy doesn't even perform well on Xbox Series X, lol

The port is really good, but I do think they went a bit too far with the huge text. The Switch screen might be small, but it's not THAT small

Don't release games that are a unfinished mess...

lol
This would have been so much better if they only ported the original versions, bumped the resolutions and made them 60fps. New game engine and "modernized gameplay" didn't add any value to this package of garbage whatsoever.

Very, very Good news

Goldeneye with online multiplayer might be enough for me to opt-in on the expansion pack. If I also could get the N64 controller. Been a good 20 years since I last stood in that window on the complex level, firing the screaming rockets at Oddjob.

@Stocksy

The truth is something in between. Joy-con drift does exist but its getting better, Nintendos design revisions of the sticks seems to work.

@oconnoclast

Shower your bathroom to a mist and put on the protector in there afterwards. The mist will reduce dust in the air.

@WallyWest Hitman 3 is cloud only, according to the developer simply because they didn't have the manpower to port it to Switch. I got no doubts that Switch could handle Hitman 3 natively if they would invest the money and around a year of work.

@Broosh

Its for a RAM-expansion pack for the Switch-console. You can fit a 8GB LPDDR5-madule in the controller and use it for enhanced user experience while playing with the cable plugged in.

Pre-loaded and ready. Too bad it wont be playable right now at midnight. Im a bit unsure though, I hope its more than just a graphpic novel...

With Switch, Nintendo has made some moves towards better accessibility, at least at a software-level with the zoom-function & inverted colors. But so far they've only helped people with bad eyes with these functions.

No point worrying about it. Today's OLED panels are very resistant, and the Switch Oled screen isn't even very bright at peak setting compared to something like most smartphones. Yeah, some will get burn ins in the coming years, just like some gets dead/stuck pixels on consoles with LCD:s. That just the way it is.

But if you play in handheld the way I suspect most plays, like 3-4 hrs per day at most, the risk of burn ins are probably very slim.

@andisart

Yeah, My new oled is more like how I remember my old 2017 Switch. My 2019 Switch, Ive always been disapointed with its display, its both very dim and very warm.

@andisart

Try switching to Standard in system settings, the over-saturated color calibration in "vibrant" might make the whites off balance. My LCD Switch got both warmer palette and more yellow tinted whites than my new oled thats on the bluish colder side.

@Bunkerneath

It does have air-intake vents. lol, you think Nintendo forgot to make the cooling work? The vents are just beneath the stand and theyre actually smarter as they wont be blocked if you have the switch flat on its back on a table

@sanderev

I find the new kickstand very easy. You put your fingers by the air-intake vents och flip it out. It's even easier to get out than the old flappy stand...

Well, thats nice and pretty much confirms my speculation that the drift is less common in newer joy-cons/switches and almost a non-problem among Switch Lite. Just wish that Nintendo could be a bit more open to the general public about when and how they are fixing hardware faults...

@IronMan30

I actually think so. It doesn't seem to be as wide-spread as in 2017-2019. They also didn't ever mention that they actually fixed the bad antennas in the left joy cons. They just did a quite revision that was spotted by folks doing teardowns of newer joy-cons.

@XenoShaun

I think it might be as simple as the potentiometers in controllers gets higher precision for each console generation, older sticks simply didn't read the tinniest neutral position variations as sticks gets looser over time with usage
