@Superzone13 Considering the combined customer base of PS4, Xbox, and PC is well over 100 million, i'd say they're financially ok with not porting to a system of under 15 million.

@Yosher It makes them money, because people click on the article, vent/whine/make up conspiracy theories in the comments, and fight amongst themselves. It's actually quite fun to watch!

@KJW90 Yes, it's a conspiracy between Microsoft, Sony, and Valve to crush the Switch! I knew it all along!

As I said over at PS, bit of a shame they couldn't fit all of this in one package. I might get this on Switch or PS4, depends on how performance stacks up, mainly worried about X7 and X8.

@Blizzia I 100% agree, and is part of the reason I tend to come here as a guilty pleasure and not for my main source of Nintendo news.

@Damo Yeah, guilty pleasure, no denying that. Everyone has their vices

@Damo There's plenty of sites out there I visit that are getting by just fine, with their integrity intact

This place is like Nintendo TMZ

@Blizzia as @Damo pointed out, articles like this get the clicks. That's all that matters at the end of the day, never forget that.

@BensonUii I agree that Tasuki is heavy handed, I've butted heads with him a couple times, but also keep in mind on average, an article over at PS tends to have maybe 30 comments, so it's a heck of a lot easier to moderate there than it is here.
I'm not going to dig through my own comment history, but i can think of quite a few times I mentioned Switch or PC in relation to an article and didn't receive a warning of any type, so I'd say you're exaggerating a bit.

Edit: I didn't see @octane comment before posting my own, but yeah, basically what I was getting at.

Impressive for sure, going to pass on a console version though. Got to play through on PC and honestly I don't think it's worth a double dip.

@BensonUii I guess we have different views, which of course is OK, because I've always found the editors and mods here and at PS seem to be pretty even on stunts that I would consider unprofessional within the community. I guess I don't see too many of the bad comments, mainly because the first time I see one, I immediately ignore that person. Such a shame you can't do that with editors and mods.....

@BensonUii I'm 100% positive a similar ban would be in effect here if every single game coming to Switch was full of comments like "Omfg where's the PS4 version?!"

He cranked that "wahhhh it's not coming to Switch" article out so fast there was a typo in the headline

When Nintendo Life creates an article/clickbait to cause people to go into a frenzy and everyone just shrugs

I'm still worried about the issue I've been having since 5.0, basically it takes 5-10 seconds for the dock to switch over to TV mode, whereas before it was maybe 2-3 seconds. Sometimes I have to undock/redock just to get to recognize at all. This is all the stock equipment that came with my Switch, too.

They stand to make a ridiculous amount of money porting SMG 1 and 2 to Switch with optional motion controls and a nice HD resolution bump.

But it's third party, isn't it going to brick my Switch?!

Here's hoping they do a good job on the port, it runs iffy on my gaming pc due to crashes/frame drops/etc. Even with all that I thoroughly enjoyed it, and would gladly double dip to support the devs and play it on the big screen if they do it well.

FFXV, Bloodborne, and BotW Master Mode are on the agenda for me. Just finished the sword trials in Master Mode, that was a trip! Onto the 2nd DLC.

I've noticed since the 5.0 update that it takes significantly longer for my official dock to recognize the switch is in it. I've only ever used the official dock, and play 99% of the time docked, so it's pretty noticeable. Upwards of 10 seconds, and sometimes requires me to remove and reinsert it to be recognized.

@rallydefault I've only been back to this site for the past couple weeks, but in that time I've seen a few questionable responses in the comments sections by the writers themselves.
So in terms of creating a spectacle on a public forum, the staff have definitely set a precedent, and have shown on more than one occasion that they respond directly (both positively and negatively) to comments on the site.
In terms of wanting to watch the world burn, for the internet in general, yeah that's the goal, but to be honest, some of the articles on this site seem to be more interested in pouring gas on that fire than making interesting things to read. It's a vicious cycle, since clickbait and controversy tends to bring out everyone, good and bad, all for the sake of clicks and visits.

@rallydefault After everything you've said, I'll simply counter with this: Your work is a reflection of yourself. If your work is continously sloppy and incorrect, and you get paid to do it, you will get called out.

My attitude is that if I make a mistake at a job, please bring it to my attention. Clearly you and the writers here don't share that attitude. Like its a cardinal sin to spend 5 minutes double checking your own work before submitting it.

Maybe more time editing/proofreading your stuff, less time smashing your hands against the keyboard to type the equivalent of "Switch rulz other consolez droolz k?"

@Damo Honestly I thought about that, and remembered the VB controller wasn't very good either! I'm still kinda iffy calling VB an actual console, i like to think of it more as a failed experiment

I'd say the Kinect at the very least led a much better life than the Virtual Boy in terms of which one had the most shortcomings. At least the Kinect is being used in different applications, whereas the Virtual Boy sits in a pile of shame.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE It seems like every single game that is announced by a "yes" from a dev with virtually no other information gets it's own article, which seems unnecessary. Maybe a weekly wrap up article "here's what was announced for Switch this week" would be more appropriate. I don't know how to truncate that to fit in your checklist, but "check"

Haven't really played a smash game since melee, i guess fighting games aren't my cup of tea anymore. DragonBall FighterZ is fantastic, but then again I mostly play local and not online, and it's freakin DBZ.

Seems like a better fit for Switch to be honest. Maybe once enough people ask them (rabble) it'll happen, along with Samus Returns.

He sure is balancing that delicate line between snarky a**hole and hip edge lord quite well I'd say.

@PlywoodStick Not really, I just figured it would be ok for me to visit and poke at an author or two every once in awhile

It's not really a secret anymore now, is it?

"especially during the darker days of Wii U where Nintendo was forcibly pushed into the background while Sony and Microsoft tried to outshout one another with specs and exclusives"

Not only is this not remotely related to why the wiiu was "forcibly" pushed into the background at all, it's a really petty cheap shot at the two companies who did things better. Stay classy, Soapbox Life.

@noobish_hat I meant gameplay as in how the controls work. I've played revelations before, i just was hoping it would control like RE4 Wii edition.

I received a Switch for Christmas and it's been ok for me. Still hasn't replaced PC or PS4 in my daily lineup, but had some fun with Odyssey. My constant (and personal) gripes with the system have always been the joycons and the lack of a Dpad, which I've largely ignored by playing docked 99% of the time. I have most of the big hitters on WiiU, so I've only really purchased Odyssey and a few indies.
Interested in the RE revelations pack so I can relive some RE4 Wii level gameplay, but other than that it sits in it's case more often than not.

@Tigrinus1975 There's an ignore button, so reading his comments everyday is a double dose of masochism on your part, because you read them and choose not to use the ignore button.

@Damo Hey, wear that badge proud then. Own it!

@PlywoodStick Logged back in to turn off notifications since I'm done here, but I'll at least reply to your comment. There's no bridge burning here. I have no personal connection to anyone or anything here. This account is in fact the first and only account I've ever made in my adult life, and I've only discussed here and at Push Square. My decision not to come here is because I think NL is going in a bad direction, and honestly some of the staff rub me the wrong way with their attitudes, work ethic, (or lack thereof, how hard is it to proofread and check your work before publishing it?) and willingness to do just about anything for clicks, ethically right or wrong. Mario PhD feels the same way, we're not on opposite sides in terms of that, and he's been here way longer than me and can see it. You can flourish it up with nihilism if you want, but the truth is, i don't like what i see, so i'm moving on, that's it. My notifications are turned off, and I will not be returning or responding, so respond if you'd like, I won't be reading it though.

@molkom Nintendoeverything is a very simplistic site that gives a lot of news, stats, and reviews. I don't know what their community is like because I'm not reading comments there. I'm happy just reading news and info without sorting through pages of controversy and clickbait.

@Damo I'll be joining MarioPhD in looking for other sites, and I'm sure based on our past interactions you'll really be sad to see me go. /s

As a site, your actions with this game over the past week have proven you to be bipolar at best; criticizing and making fun of the game at every turn, yet afraid to put a score on a review because you're worried about metacritic ratings and the internet's backlash. It's too much of a bad precedent, giving a company leniency for charging $60 for a broken product, and knowing how cocky you and some of your colleagues are, you're betting that the sheer amount of polarizing and controversial articles you come up with will outweigh those that are disgusted with your policies. I'd wish you good luck, but you clearly don't need it, you seem perfectly fine crossing whatever lines need crossing as long as it brings in those clicks and views.

@scully1888 You're right, you're not defending 2K, you're doing something much worse; giving them and any other dev the ability to ship something broken and not suffer any consequence on this site as long as they can claim they can fix it. Day one patches are commonplace, but they didn't even have one ready, because they somehow missed something like this during QA? What a line of BS.

It's a bad, bad precedent to set, and personally I've lost a good deal of respect for this site and it's writers for taking this route.

I applaud you guys for saying hold off on buying, but you really do need to attach a score to this. They shipped it this way, they deserve the bad score if it ships broken. If they care so much about Metacritic, they should've fixed things before launch.

PC Gamer gave Dishonored 2 the same lieniency when it shipped broken on PC, and it really disappointed me to the point that I barely visit that site anymore. That's not a threat, but it is the reality if you're going to start holding review scores to give devs a grace period to fix things that were unacceptable to ship with in the first place.

Wow, if there's this much backlash and jokes to be had over a false save file amount, you guys are in for a real treat when Bugthesda starts releasing their games on Switch. I'm stashing some popcorn for that

@Shiryu Hey, if it makes your day, more power to you.

@Shiryu Just seems like the easy cheap shot to piggyback off of yesterday's controversial comparison article is all. The finding of the golf game and the history behind it would've been perfectly fine without it.

Still taking cheap shots at an already proven untrue stat, instead of just being thankful you're actually getting some third party support on the Switch. Stay classy, Nintendolife.

@GraveLordXD People here have already stated their save files are definitely nowhere near 5gb, so that needs to stop becoming a point of contention. I'm not saying nintendo isn't good at compression, or that other companies aren't doing their work to make things smaller. But let's be honest here, we're comparing an open world, 1080p game to a sports simulation with 4K textures, lots of audio, physics, models, etc. I have no doubt there will be more fun in the 5gb of Odyssey than the however many GBs 2K18 is, but for those that needs their b-ball on the go, time to pay the micro SD piper.

I wouldn't even say apples to oranges is a good comparison, this is apples to bowling shoes.

Edit: By the way, what i meant by this, as others have stated below, is that you can't compare a game like Mario Odyssey to an NBA simulation. They're leagues apart in terms of graphics, audio, physics, etc. I'm not going to go into the tech specs, since others have already done that, but yeah, it's not Nintendo's compression making the difference here. It's that you're comparing a simple (by comparison) open world game to a realistic sports simulation.

I still can't believe they're charging $380 for that bundle because of a pouch. Seems a bit like when gamestop makes those bundles with useless stuff just to get rid of extra stock.

Meh, looks nice but I'm not 100% impressed with my NES30 Pro, not sure about dropping $50 on another one. It's a pain to connect it between devices, usually requires starting from scratch. Plus it's smaller than the website makes it out to be.

*golf clap

Collectathon, gross.

I'm going to leave mine intact. It's definitely missing some essential games, but i have my retropie for that.
