RedeadLink

Finally 3rd party support getting serious. Probably won't get it since I can't play shooters without kbm anymore (and the pc version is less then a tenner) but still awesome they're releasing it for those who want it on the go.

"The Nintendo community has to be the friendliest gaming community online"

hehehehehe

The Sun... the paper that used to have tits right on the 3rd page...

@Eisenbolan Yeah, it's a bummer

Wait, wait, wait... the triggers are still digital? WTF Nintendo, it's 2017, it costs a couple extra pence to implement and makes porting over to Switch so much easier for devs (while Project Cars for Wii U was still a thing they mentioned having to use the second analogue stick as a replacement).
It's kinda funny how they add HD Rumble and an IR Sensor but can't chip in for some proper triggers...

Really should've made admission cost a bit more and made the rest higher quality...

...why...

@shinpaku Online was free for the Dreamcast, PS2, Gamecube, PS3, Wii and Wii U. PC games also allow you to play games online for free with no cost. Servers are paid for by purchasing the games which need them.

It's not much, but it doesn't change the fact we shouldn't really have to pay at all.

Aside from 1-2 switch does the console have any exclusive games?

@the101 Ehh, I've never been a huge fan of platforms, it's not that I don't enjoy them but at the same time it isn't really high up my list.

@jaymacx I don't know yet, but personally none of those games interest me.

@KrakenSoup I would get it on Wii U but I personally can't handle the thought of playing BotW at 720p@ 30-20fps. If the Switch can handle the game at 1080p with a stable 30fps then that is the experience I want.

The only good thing about the presentation was Breath of the Wild. The rest was rather poor to be honest. Still going to get a Switch for Zelda though.

Now online Nintendo games will be even more dead :/ Well done Nintendo...

@Aaron09 He's saying it looks barren due to the low render distance, with everything more than 20 meters away looking like an early N64 game.

Would be awesome if Nintendo supported shadowplay with the Switch.

People seem to forget that Nintendo aren't the only ones who made games on the N64, many other publishers did as well. Either way to the people who say "just get a Nintendo console to play Nintendo games" I have to tell you, not many people want to get an 20 year old console taking space solely to play some Mario 64 on (not to mention the ridiculous prices these consoles are being sold for along with games).

Nintendo's own solutions are terrible as well as the only way to get N64 games now is on the Wii U virtual console. Not only is the entire thing dead with the occasional release every blue moon, there is also the fact that a Wii U costs just as much as an Xbox One S and PS4slim. I doubt anyone in their right mind would buy a console as weak as a Wii U for the same price as its competitors just so they can play a small selection of overpriced N64 games and 3 decent Nintendo exclusives(MK8, Smash and ZeldaBotW)

@The_Dude_Abides Hopefully

@readyletsgo Talking about the NES emulator being submitted to the Xbox marketplace. NL had an article on it yesterday.

So when the story on the emulator for xbox comes out its full of hate with people saying they should buy the console. Now this comes out and everyone suddenly loves emulators... wut?

...All hail Virtual Boy...

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Probably talking about Bayonetta

Wow, this looks so bad. I'm not a Pokemon fan at the best of times but at least I can appreciate their cool visuals, but this game ruins that as well. The battles look bland and the menus look like they came straight from ios.

@H_Hunter 720p? Way too big for a handheld. Would rather have either a better battery life and/or better graphics then a resolution that big on a screen that small.

Oh the feels, I still have all of mine on the shelf behind me. The magazine was really fun to read even if it did feel like they were just throwing random ideas around but that was part of the charm. They also knew how to get me buying their magazine, they had a picture of a Wii U on the spine that got built up every issue, with me buying a bunch of back issues just so I could look at it in peace. Turns out my efforts were for naught as the magazine ended before they finished the image
Well at the very least they changed my subscription to GamesMaster which I see as a very good alternative, not to mention it helped me expand my gaming beyond Nintendo.

@ThanosReXXX Ever heard of a thing called future proofing? Games are getting much much bigger as time goes on and for Nintendo to actually keep up they need to look ahead. True current games reach about 70gb at max but Nintendo shouldn't be competing with those consoles since the next ones will be packing in 4K textures etc. Even if the NX can't output 4K, file sizes will most likely be the same on each console. Take Assassin's Creed 4 for example which is around 17gb on both the Wii U and PC even though the textures are far superior in the latter. Sure Nintendo could survive on a 64gb cart but they will be severely limiting themselves like they did with the N64.

@c1pher_c0mplet Yeah but most devs use as much as they can. If NX wants multiplat support they need to support large file sizes

Unless they have a 100gb cartridge in development this is a terrible idea.

They really shouldn't bring ONM back as much as I loved them. They really have nothing to work with in terms of review material with hardly any worthwhile games coming out each month. I think that it would be best if Nintendo reader stick with GamesMaster.

So distracting seeing the Mario stand with all Mario characters... then a single Toon Link. At least the style matches I guess.

@6ch6ris6 I'm pretty much the opposite, I set all my games to max settings to see if I can get around 30fps. If the fps fluctuates too much then I cap at 30. (Aside from certain games like MGS5 where I can have almost max settings and 60fps, then I am willing to turn down shadows etc to lock at 60)

Urgg, 720p? Had a feeling that the game was going to be set at that resolution but it's still a shame. The unstable framerate is also really annoying and while I don't mind having a game set at 30fps I do really hate dips that go more that 10fps below the average, I'll live but only just. Here's to hoping that the NX will be powerful enough to run the game at 1080p @ 30fps with nice textures.
I also find it funny that when Watch Dogs game out on Wii U people were nagging about how it was at 720p and had dips down to the 20s yet when Zelda does it it's fine.

Oh look another Mario game.

I still firmly believe that it is the same Link from Skyward Sword. Unless this isn't Link at all hence the lack of Hero's tunic. Either way, they wouldn't have made Link right handed, there has to be an explanation.
[WIND WAKER SPOILERS]
I don't really find the Wind Waker theory plausible as the Master Sword was left in Ganondorf's skull, wouldn't make sense to see the dirty sword in the pedestal.
[SPOILERS END]

Hisssssss

@SanderEvers I love "Life is Strange" as much as the next guy but you can't really call it innovative when it's pretty much a telltale game.

"What are your thoughts about the voice acting in the cdi Mario game?"

He looks like knuckles from sonic boom...

Damn I was hoping for some online multiplayer as the new mode or at least a local multiplayer where you are against each other.

Now they just need to make a ' U is Good ' commercial to friggin advertise wii u.

@edhe What do you mean? We didn't get it on Wii U. It was cancelled close to release, or was that just in the UK?
