@larryisaman okay, I assumed all of this and I was right. Look if you want to dig into Nintendo over lack of courtesy, go ahead... I wonder would you all do the same if it were Rockstar ... Or some other popular company. Just because it's Nintendo, everything is fair game all of a sudden. I'm so sick of the politics of all of this. They always get a kicking right at critical moments when they need things to go well. Why?... Because ultimately all it results in is Sony and Microsoft doing better than they deserve. Switch 2 is a great product. Everyone who's bought this deserves for it to, at least, do well so they all get great games on it... Please stop this.
I mean... Does he own the rights? It all sounds terribly insidious but, in truth, I suspect everything is above board. What they've done is the legal requirement and not the courtesy... And, as always, Everyone is up in arms because "Nintendo bad"
This is so "The politician DENIED he would be pooping on the opposition's roof" levels of article. Analogue is just another method of input. For some people it holds a heavy bias of preference. Hall effect is (irrelevant to the article... And) also just another method of input. There's no actual proof it's better. It's pure theory. Get over your BS people. If you hate Nintendo products then just be damned honest with people and say it how it is. Quit using clever language to shoot down a great thing.
Ports with vague release windows never go well... I don't hold on hope for this Switch 2 release to be a shining example of its ability. But, hey, if anyone tries to rub our noses in a 30 FPS mess, we can just wave the 3.5 million sales in their faces I guess 😆
People really are total ludites...
Have you all no appetite for cool and interesting ways of doing things?
I think the phone app's awesome!
"Burying"... Pfff
The question should be - "Are you under the age of 10 or over the age of 40?" Anyone in that bubble is too glazed over with the notion that everything must be cutting edge to be valid or worth while. It looks seamless and smashing. Just a bit choppy when you're sharing multiple players. It's been proven that less people gives smoother results... 2 way convo is actually VERY smooth.
@GregamanX yeah. It's not like BL is a must play, time sensitive, IP anyway. Not to mention that he's trying to spin this as, somehow, Nintendo's fault.
"We might charge a lot for our game and it's Nintendo's fault"??? Randy go eff yourself. You just can't be a cool guy can you? It's impossible for you.
@Arcsol It's baffling as to why people with complain about a couple of dollars. I'm glad we now know that we're getting an upgrade. I'll be buying this for switch one.
Internet trolls and outrage farmers have demonised Nintendo to such an extent now that anyone could blatantly infringe on their property and everyone would back the offender. For god's sake kids. Companies have to set boundaries otherwise all their efforts gets stolen and undercut. Grow up please.
It's cute. Nothing particularly useful but I enjoy a little bit of Nintendo fun each day. I must be weird. Everyone else seems to think it's "useless" so why bother... Yeah... I don't do anything with it... It just looks nice and sometimes has cute little videos or fun info. Lighten up people!
Just stirring up controversy where there is none. I trust them to make an awesome switch version. It doesn't have to have absolutely everything the same.
Most of the time we get an update on a Monday and still nothing... Starting to think there's some kind of setback. Could be a real problem if they don't get it done in time for the 5th of June.
Never trust a games business, at any level, that's been sold off. They are exclusively bought by bitter minded old men, who hate video games, and take joy in milking it's consumers while destroying the business.
@Bigmanfan "No proof" != Innocent We aren't a court. We're a comments section. Pocket pair are guilty as sin. Regardless of what the legal findings are it's clear they should get done. Amy refusal of that is shilling for criminals 🤷♀️
Oh come off it!
The disingenuous rot of this whole thing.
They plagiarised and took a risk.
Gamers rallied behind them... Because of course they did... Kids love a rebel.
But pretending that this wasn't just a massive exercise in ripping off a company that has let its fans down for years is just bile inducing.
Own it.
You won FFS.
And now there will likely be nothing but more decline in the Pokémon brand.

@Bigmanfan mostly these people are trying to set Nintendo up for failure. They know there won't be any graphics enhancements just like we do... But they hope to make a story out of it when they're "let down". Doesn't help the overall enjoying of the experience for everyone but what do they care?
Most foolish decision Nintendo ever made.
Ancient heads of company with too little knowledge, and no desire to learn, insisting that carts were more secure without any care for the technical limitations of the medium.
It's one thing staying below the bleeding edge in order to keep budget low... Quite another being a stick in the mud just because you find new things scary.
Well certainly something has changed with regards to its marketing... That has to mean there's at least some movement. Understandably the fan base is now incredibly weary of let downs and non-news...

If it's going to be strong magnets, perhaps they've set it up so you can attach the magnets vertically as well? Or at least in some orientation that would make vertical play possible. Along with that perhaps it'll work similar to WiiU and you can have 2 screen that way? It always baffled me why they didn't do DS games on the Wii U... It was the perfect device for them
It's blatant plagiarism. They are well within their rights to press charges. It is irrelevant. How large is the company is. You may hate Nintendo for their size or popularity when they don't cater to your tastes... Or perhaps they don't provide exactly the kind of service you crave... But they are not doing anything illegal or morally wrong. Palworld is knowingly and flagrantly ripping off Pokémon and CELEBRATING it... They deserve everything they get ... Not least for their brovado.
The hate this thing is getting is preposterous. Yeah it's quite pricey but it does a lot. It's entirely a luxury item. If you are, understandably, not really able to budget for it, be assured you are not missing out on anything major. It's very cute and fun and worth the price... But entirely missable.
