I watched Mortal Kombat Legacy, the fan made project.

The first season was decent but it steadily declined after. Still worth a watch.

@TheFullAndy personally i think it's the best platforming game ever made.

The game im looking forward to the most is the sequel.

@Lordplops I highly doubt it, I've never heard of AAA digital only games selling "bucketloads" on the Nintendo Switch. Or really any Nintendo platform.

Especially not AAA digital only games that are over 15 gigs (i know thats low for this game but that doesn't change the point) and costs £50. When it's under £20 elsewhere.

I could be wrong but that might be indicative of why Nintendo doesn't bother to release digital download figures like Sony and Microsoft do.

Can anyone give me the low-down on WWE Battlegrounds?

Im so tempted.

@TheFullAndy thats fair enough.

And to be fair it is a decent game. I just didn't like it too much on the Cube and i know the best version was on the Wii, which i never played.

@TheFullAndy

Witcher 3
Breath Of The Wild
Skyrim
Dark Soul (1 and 3)
Hollow Knight
Red Dead Redemption 1 and 2

Are my top 6, in every single way, these games are better.

And a shooter i think is better than RE4, Gears 1 2 and 3.

@TheFullAndy uhh no it's not even close to being the best game ever made.

If you think this is the best game ever made then you've played 3 games and the other two had to be on an older console.

Res evil 4 is okay, I wouldn’t even call it the best res evil game ever made. Let alone the best game.

Are they charging for this DLC?

I really hope they are so I can buy it twice and pay these people the money they deserve.

I hope this sells well but I won't be supporting it and judging by the overwhelmingly negative response to the digital only shtick, I won't be the only one.

Unfortunately Microsoft can eventually use this as a reason to make sure no more Bethesda games make it on a Nintendo platform.

I'm sure we will still get other games from developers that Microsoft own, but I can see them saying :

"we don't feel that Nintendo platforms are the right place for games that our team at Bethesda are making". This game will be used as a reason to that statement.

Microsoft are lagging behind because they are not offering anything unique and what they do offer you can get on other devices. You don't need their consoles.

At least not for 2 years.

@Brummieendo90 it's not just the actual ownership which matters.

In particular with Nintendo systems, if you have a Wii U and it has tons of games downloaded, say through the VC, if you lose or break that Wiii U, you've lost allll those games too.

@Jester151 ok so you have to redownload it when you want to play it again?

You realise how slow Switch downloads are though?

Okay so how about let's say in 8 years time, for whatever reason, you lose your Switch with all your digital games on there, Nintendo have discontinued the eShop

What do you do about your old games? Does losing your Switch mean you've lost your old games? And a lot of money too?

Because I could just buy another Switch from eBay and I'd still have most my games.

What would you do in that situation?

@superderper this is my biggest issue to be honest.

It doesn't matter how fast your Internet connection actually is, there's a limit to how fast the Switch can download stuff and it seems to take a couple of hours just for 5 gigs, 17 would be a good 6-7 hour download.

@Jester151 see i can't imagine taking that stance, I have a 400 gb card and another 256, all my main games are physical, I own 26 physical games, stuff like BOTW, Odyssey, Doom 2016, Skyrim, Witcher 3, kart, Smash etc etc... all physical...

All my Indie games and a few big games that were on sale are digital...

my 256 is full and I have 200 left of my 400, how on earth do you go "just digital"... I mean I really just don't get it.

How you even manage to do it? Is there a 2TB card I don't know about?

That's not too bad. Still not going to buy it for that price though unless there's a physical. Which there isn't.

@ChaosBadger777 that's really no worries at all and you have a quality that many who behave that way don't have, you reflect after you act, which is good. Reflection is hard to do for many, especially those with little to no filter.

You are able, like you have today, call yourself out on your mistakes and correct them. I know many who would not have done that. NO worries at all.

So I say again. Good man.

@ChaosBadger777 I also agree that no jokes are off limit.

But the settings is key, would you tell dead people jokes at a funeral?

Well it seems you realised this place isn't the right place for that joke. As you've deleted your original comment.

Good man.

@ChaosBadger777 you realise the expression "joke in bad taste" right?

You can't say anything you like and put "joke" at the end and pretend everything is all hunky dory.

A joke has to be in good humour and yours wasn't funny, you knew it wasn't funny and it was offensive because you felt the need to say you were joking.

You need to realise there is a line you can't cross, forget being "PC or open minded" r*** jokes on a topic about people being abused is uncalled for.

@HotGoomba___Rebrand that was too funny 🤣.

@ChaosBadger777 I've never had a chance to use the report button.

Thanks.

I don't care about this topic at all. It seems like both parties are at fault here.

But I don't understand why this really big community doesn't band together, get their best developers to make their own smash like experiences. Then they can just ignore Nintendo and Nintendo can ignore them. Both parties will be better off without the other.

I'm still very excited for this one. I think it looks great, I didn't expect it to look as good as the other systems but I'm still happy with it.

At least it's not dropping 9 months later at full price while the other systems are getting it at under £20.

@Sanangelo89 yeah I mean sure, if you want to go ahead and pay full price for this then don't let a few comments on here stop you. Just don't get all worked up because others won't subscribe to the same way as thinking as you.

Personally I'm going to pass, at least for that price, I may grab it one day when it drops in price but I'm not exactly starved of games, there's more than enough good games to keep me enthralled, I don't need to spend this much when I can get a similar experience from other games for a fraction of the price.

Some made by the same developers no less.

I'm excited for this game.

This review is a joke but I really don't expect anything akin to good writing from these "journalists" anymore.

If you are judging your decision to buy this game based on this review then you need to stop right there and back up. Go read another review, there's plenty others out there. Much much better ones.

@Sanangelo89 I would agree with you but you see, the game is available for under £20 on other better hardware. You can get it on Gamepass and actually play it on a mid range PC and it'll be cheaper and look better than it does on the Switch.

You couple all that up with the 9 month wait and you have a sinker here.

You can't really blame anyone for the overwhelming negative feedback on here.

@AlexSora89 don't you worry yourself over Nintendo 3RD party support, even if this games sells badly (which it more than likely will - it's way to late to the party and digital only is a deal breaker for a lot of people), it won't effect meaningful 3rd party support.

@TDRsuperstar2 I'm with you as well.

I'm not about to spend £50 on a digital game AND have to use my own storage space WHEN the game is available on other better hardware for a fraction of the price (£20). - that's just foolish.

I really wanted to play it on the Switch but I'm not starved of games on there that I'd be willing to swallow such a bitter pill.

No physical no buy.

Next please.

This is expected, they put a lot of hype around what is at it's core, a mindless hack and slash game with about 40 or so hours of content available, because they had nothing else for the holidays, because Covid 19 pushed everything back.

This game was always going to fall off quickly, maybe Nintendo were hoping it would have holiday legs, and be able to carry the system through the holidays.

It clearly doesn't judging by this news.

@glaemay this is partly true, the console wars actually started with Sega and Nintendo, the Sega TV ads were particularly focused on competing with Nintendo.

Nintendo by enlarge ignored Sega though.

now where the truth in your statement comes in, is when Sony entered the race with the sole purpose of putting Sega and Nintendo out of business, is when Nintendo started to take notice of the competition.

But the thing is, since then a lot has changed, particularly with Sony, who are no longer trying to put anyone out of business, instead Sony are trying hard to stay in business.

Almost EVERY single one of Sony's other divisions are bleeding money and have been for the better part of a decade now.

Mobiles
Movies
Other electronics

All have been in negative figures for a long while, mobiles are particularly bad, they even exited the Laptop space in 2014 because they couldn't turn a profit on it.

Sony (Playstation) fans might still be on the old band wagon but Sony themselves are more than likely focused on the health of their own business and not the health of another companies.

Also there is another metric in this that matters and that's the company overheads but I won't get into that now. The short of it is, Sony simply cannot afford to compete with a company that actually makes a profit from every console they sell.

I committed to the Xbox Series X before either were released because I thought Microsoft were preparing to whip out the big guns.

But then I learned that Microsoft won't have a single exclusive game for at least the first year of the Xboxes life.

So I'm going with Sony again, I really wanted to hop back on the Xbox band wagon but with Gamepass, I honestly won't need to. I can just Play Xbox games elsewhere.

Microsoft need to ditch their consoles, they've actually got no idea what they are doing anymore.

The game looks great I can't wait to get my copy.

@Zimon yeah the games are a big disappointment to me as well, I'm done with the franchise personally, I have plenty of the older games I can always go back to if I wanted.

It's a shame they can't update the game to actually be good.

But to do that they would have to scrap this game and start again.

@Varkster well you seem to be a bit immature, I'm not sure how old you actually are but you seem to be unaware of how opinions are subjective to one's own experience.

So you seem to think "The Last Of Us" was bad, and there are some circles that share your opinion. But the mainstream opinion on this is that this is a good game.

Now just because you say it isn't a good game, doesn't make the mainstream opinion wrong.

But it also doesn't make your opinion wrong either, now your opinion is the minority opinion and it's not shared by most people who have played the game.

You are entitled to it, in the same way that the mainstream opinion, stating this game is a masterpiece, is also acceptable.

Having a hissy fit because the mainstream opinion exists is your own shortcomings.

Simple as that.

@Dr_Lugae that's your opinion to be fair.

I think AC is a shoddy clone of The Sims.

@Sinton it doesn't matter, any game that gets released from now will be in Goty running for next year.

@Varkster "fam" it's still just your opinion.

You can kick and scream like a little child all you want, it doesn't make your opinion right.

It's just your opinion, the majority of EVERYONE disagrees with you.

It honestly doesn't matter what point you think you've made about reviews and what deserves what.

Your opinion is ONLY your opinion, it's also a minority opinion.

So fam, pipe down.

@Varkster "this game is not goty" is your own opinion. Yes opinions are great, it's great that you can have your own opinion.

My personal opinion is that Animal Crossing and Mario Odyssey are two of the most overrated and down right terrible AAA games that have been made in the last decade.

but this is MY opinion, I don't imagine many people share my opinion.

In the same way that your opinion isn't shared by many people either... But it's just your opinion and is not a fact.

@3RedTriangles you should be surprised to learn then, that it is voted on by gamers 😭

@Guest88 now I do think you are a troll generally but I'm going to have to agree here.

The Last Of Us is probably better than every game on the Switch except BOTW. It's a heavy hitting game to be sure.

Animal Crossing was a fad that got out of hand because of the pandemic, had it not been for that, the game would probably be sitting on half those sales. But even so, sales don't make a good game, and Animal Crossing isn't really, in my opinion at least, a good game at all.

But what does that even mean? Am I meant to believe that because it was made specifically for the Switch, it won't look better on other platforms?

Because I highly doubt that. So this comment actually has no substantial meaning behind it.

It doesn't matter that it'll be made with the Switch in mind, it'll still run better in both graphics and frame rate on other platforms.

Essentially making this comment pointless. Now if it's an exclusive, that's a different issue. But it doesn't seem to be.

@Strumpan they should be allowed to protect their IPs but I also think laws should be put in place to allow fans to use these pieces of media entertainment to create fan fiction, which would incorporate these events too as long as dues are paid to the original creator.

This would actually benefit all parties. But then you get into the whole issue of regulation and how the original creator would intend for those IPs to be used.

It's all a complicated situation which is why it is the way it is now.

@Rob3008 unfortunately we are partly at fault as you say, the complacency was caused by us.

We've allowed them to get away with the shoddy online infrastructure they have in place.

We've purchased, in ridiculous numbers, shoddy games like Mario Party. Essentially telling them it's okay to release half a game.

We've allowed joy con drift to continue unchecked with barely any consequences to the imbeciles who made the defective hardware.

These things are all our fault.

But Nintendo could well mess up too, they got complacent during the Wii days and look what happened - if they don't release a Switch 2 with more powerful innards, instead opting to take the route of *innovation" - (think Wii/Wii U). Then they'll pay in spades for those shoddy joy cons.

@Strumpan that makes no sense.

You agree that they should be able to protect their IPs but you don't think it should be within the parameters of the law?

What kind of fun time herbs are you smoking? I want some too...

The thing is, Nintendo are using the same loophole in the law to their own benefit by claiming their games are not art but "entertainment" - yet they use artistic copy right laws to protect their IPs.

It's a bit hypocritical.

Now the organizers of this event are aware of this so they were just antagonising Nintendo, which then caused Nintendo to pull their sponsorship and now this.

How much longer that loophole favours Nintendo is yet to be seen but sooner or later Nintendo will have to choose which is more important.

@dugan MM2 Won't be in danger anytime soon. Maybe 4-5 years down the line, when the game stops generating money but still costs them money to keep online.

Kind of like how I would imagine MM is now anyway, hence why their dropping it.

This isn't really information that is all new, but it's still more relevant, because it just really highlights Nintendo's anti consumer practices, which is completely ignored by the majority of these the so called "fans" on this website.

I don't much care about this but if it hurts EA in any way then it's a great thing.

Anything that causes EA more bother and ultimately more financial pain is absolutely a great thing, it must be encouraged and supported.

I'm still grabbing it considering Doom will be a no go.
