Remember the chick who worked for Abstergo in the original Assassin's Creed game (Lucy) Kristen Bell is her voice actress and they used her face in the game for the character she played.
I wonder if this has something to do with not releasing Prime 2 and 3 HD remasters. Like new players got Prime 1 HD then leapt straight to Prime 4. They missed out on a huge chunk of the story.
None of those listed games interest me. Personally i'd like to see a brand new big Zelda game (I understand that might be 2 or 3 years away), or Metroid Prime 2 and 3 HD remakes. Or a Twilight Princess HD/ Wind Waker HD being ported to Switch 2. Maybe a new F-zero game or Smash Bros game. Pipe dream games that I would love to see - a new modern Probotector/Contra game, a new Starfox game, a new Streets of Rage game maybe.
Nintendo fans are rubbing their hands together thinking, "They're releasing a new Ocarina of Time lego set, so they're going to remake Ocarina of Time for Switch 2 in 4K." Meanwhile Nintendo are like "Nah we're just gonna make a low effort lego version of the game to troll ya'al."
@Robot99 investors are selling their shares off because they don't believe Nintendo has secured enough RAM during this global shortage. Which means at some point soon Nintendo is likely going to run out of RAM and Switch 2 production will grind to a halt.
I enjoyed MP4 Beyond but honestly, I think it could have done with one more temple/dungeon and boss fight. The game was good but felt a little short compared to the previous 3 Prime games.
I was a big fan of the OG Metroid Prime Trilogy and I am really enjoying the 4th. There's a ton of places to explore and plenty of weapons to master. All that whining about the human NPC's on your team was massively exaggerated. They're hardly ever with you once you rescue them and get them to basecamp. And even when you do talk to them they're not really annoying IMO. It's actually kinda nice to have a little crew.
Understandable. After playing HW AoC, I chose not to purchase Age of Imprisonment and just watched the cutscenes on Youtube instead. The story and lore content, as predicted, was fantastic but the gameplay was dull and repetitive like its predecessor. Some people like it, there is a market for it but it's not for me. I prefer proper 3D Zelda games as opposed to fighting hordes.
@stephenstig I'm the same. I watched all the Age of Imprisonment cutscenes on youtube to get the story since its canon. But the gameplay is dull and repetitive to me so i'd rather wait for a proper Zelda game to come out.
Honestly, I wouldn't wanna play PC and Xbox games on a system that would give me a lesser fun experience than my gaming PC. I like to play at 4K 120hz with all bells and whistles cranked up. A handheld Xbox can't do that for me. As for handheld gaming while i'm away from home, the Switch 2 gives me a good experience and those Nintendo games aren't on my PC so that console has purpose.
Every time Nintendo does something successful, their competitors try to immitate it. It's as if Nintendo is the only gaming company that actually innovates.
@Arkz have a look at the Switch 2 dock where the console slots into it in the middle. You see those two gaps either side of the usb-c connector? Now have a look at the bottom of the Switch 2 console itself. Those gaps on the dock lineup with the air vents on the console. The fan in the dock blows cool air up into those bottom vents and it gets ejected out of the console’s top vent
I'm dubious of a Switch 2 Dock that doesn't have an active fan in it. Without that extra cooling the GPU will throttle down and you'll lose performance/fps when it heats up. This is why the official dock has a fan inside.
A bold move would be for Nintendo to offer to buy the canned IP from Microsoft. And if they acquire it, they could commission Playtonic Games to make a new Perfect Dark game since Playtonic consists of a lot of OG Rareware employees.
If your joycons are disconnecting that's either a bluetooth issue or a battery issue. HDMI has nothing to do with the joycons. All HDMI does is send audio and video signals through the cable.
I'm honestly not all that bothered about another 3D Mario right now. Hell i'd be happy to see a 2D Mario first. But if i had a choice on priority of which games Nintendo released first, I'd wanna see 4K 60fps UHD remakes of Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Twilight Princess and Wind Waker.
@PS12345 The built-in screen of the Switch 2 may not be OLED but it is a very nice IPS panel and it's bigger. Not that it matters. I connect my Switch 2 via the dock most of the time and play it through a LG OLED TV. As for VRR, it is a shame that only works in handheld mode but to be honest, I have noticed any screen tearing so far. Probably coz most games are optimised and frame rate stays at a steady 60fps when docked. Maybe they'll add it in a firmware update later on. If you remember, PS5 had to do that too.
If a Switch 2 Pro comes out in a couple of years along with the next big Zelda game and supports VRR and has a built-in OLED screen, I'll buy that one too and upgrade again. I'll just sell my Switch 2 on ebay like i did with my Switch 1.
@Anti-Matter I agree. I grew up watching the super mario bros cartoons in the 90's and when Charles Martinet took over the voice role later on, I always thought he was a bit too high pitched for the character. I much prefer Chris Pratt's version.
