Title comes off kind of cheap because Hearthstone crushes this and most of its competition for good reason.
It's like saying you don't need Super Mario Bros because you have Commander Keen as a platformer. Commander Keen might be great, but it doesn't hold a candle to Mario.
@earthinheritor who's shouting? And haven't you heard that the best things in life are the things you have to work for? It's fine, man. We don't have to agree with each other.
@earthinheritor you mean all those recent releases? Lol, maybe not now but they will be. And yeah, it does cost more, just like your courtside seats at a sporting event. I guess you can hang onto portability, you got me there. If you do most of your gaming on a bus, you've got a compelling argument, but most of us don't.
I think my problem is the fighting genre. They don't pull me in like the good 'ol days. I own Smash, ARMS, and the anniversary edition of Street Fighter.
Interestingly enough, ARMS is the most played out of those 3. But I think I'm over it, and I appreciate where the author is coming from.

Nobody else probably cares, but I'm a little disappointed we didn't get the expansion for Civ VI. Seemed like the right time to mention it, if it was coming.
This series really makes me wish we had MLB The Show on Switch. If they'd get their act together I'd fully support them, but this series has been a textbook example of "mailing it in."
Always wanted to play this, but there's enough competing for my attention that I'll probably never get to it. That and I'll admit that nothing turns me off quite like dated 3D graphics.
I don't want a Switch mini. If anything, I want a Switch Plus. Moar power!! You've already accomplished the AAA experience in a mobile setting. Time to focus more on the AAA and less on the mobile.
@Quincy Civ VI is a very well made port, and if you will be hard pressed to find a deeper strategy game anywhere. That being said, I think it works better on PC than console. Still, I'm enjoying it on Switch and reccomend it.

I doubt it'll be a drastic change. I bet he'll still be hairy.

I'm not going to pay to see this. Maybe if it comes to Netflix I'll give it a go.

It is a great game. Thing is...it already works great on my phone.

I love my Switch, but PC wins.
Re: Octopath Traveler's Switch Exclusivity Might Be Coming To An End
@earthinheritor Can you play Breath of the Wild at 60 fps in 4K on a Nintendo device? Nope, but you can on PC.
Re: Octopath Traveler's Switch Exclusivity Might Be Coming To An End
The PC master race always wins

Re: Ed Boon Reassures Fans Mortal Kombat 11 Will Run At 60fps On Nintendo Switch
Have Smash, ARMS, and SF2. Constantly trying to talk myself out of this game.

Re: Civilization VI Now Supports Cross-Platform Cloud Saves On Steam And Nintendo Switch
Cool, but where are the expansions?
Re: Video: Hmm, This Nintendo Direct Presentation Sure Is Suspicious

Re: Feature: The 50 Best Nintendo Switch Games So Far
"Bore of the Wild, #1? Ugh. I took it back and got a credit for it, I thought it was a terrible excuse for a Zelda game."
It's ok, to each his own. Some people hate Christmas too.
Re: Feature: The 50 Best Nintendo Switch Games So Far
Where's my Darkest Dungeon?!
And maybe more outrageous, Into the Breach should be on here.
Re: Talking Point: Could We See Mario Kart Tour At Apple's Event Today?
How about some Mario Kart 9, Nintendo?
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Is Releasing Two New Versions Of Switch This Year
I'd be all over Pro in theory, but will wait and see because that's all we can really do at this point anyway.
Re: Feature: The Best 3D Platformers On Nintendo Switch
Mario Odyssey is pretty much it for me when it comes to this list.
Re: Nintendo Reveals The Best-Selling Indie Games On The Switch
Enter the Gungeon absolutely crushed me. Still haven't gotten past even the secomd level. Will have to give it another try at some point.
Re: Feature: The Best Online Multiplayer Games On Nintendo Switch
Uninstalled Fortnite after giving it a longer leash than any other game ever. Buggy mess just isn't worth it.
Doom multiplayer is pretty nonexistent though the single player game is still worth the sticker price.
Re: Shovel Knight Developer Yacht Club Games Is Publishing A New Title
No clue what it is. Still an instabuy.

Re: Epic Doesn't Plan To Improve The Frame Rate In The Switch Version Of Fortnite
First game I've seriously considered deleting from the Switch. I dont think it's for me.
Re: Review: Modern Combat Blackout - Call Of Duty Has Little To Worry About
Gameloft's whole schtick is ripping off popular properties and optimizing the experience for a phone. I wouldn't touch any of their stuff on Switch.
Re: Video: Final Fantasy X | X-2 HD Remaster And XII: The Zodiac Age Get New Switch Trailers
Will pick up 12 for sure. I liked 10 a lot, but not enough for a replay. That laughing scene is still etched in my brain forever.
Re: A Trio Of Classic Resident Evil Games Is Coming To Switch This May
Never played this series. Might check 4 out.
Re: Beyond Enemy Lines Looks To Capture The Feel Of Classic Call Of Duty

Re: Reggie Fils-Aime Is Retiring After 15 Notable Years At Nintendo of America
@NEStalgia I hear you, but a lot of assumptions are baked into what you're saying there. I hope that's not the case here.

Re: Vambrace: Cold Soul Brings Roguelike Fantasy To Switch This Summer
Interested to see how this turns out. Definitely sounds intriguing.
Re: Yacht Club Games Has Delayed Shovel Knight: King Of Cards
Worth the wait. Yacht Club Games has more than earned the community's respect and trust.
Re: Review: Tetris 99 - A Revolutionary Take On A Puzzle Classic

Re: Fire Emblem: Three Houses Marches Onto Switch This July
Looks good to me.
Re: PlatinumGames Is Bringing Astral Chain To Switch This August
Probably the most impressive thing in the direct for me. New IP is where it's at. I don't need another remaster of something I've already played.
Re: Feature: What We Expect From The February Nintendo Direct
I'd be happy if all these predictions were correct. However, saying "wildcard" or "mystery game" is pretty lazy when it comes to predictions.
Re: Nintendo Direct To Air Tomorrow, Wednesday 13th February
Metroid Prime trilogy ported over to Switch is what I'm hoping to see
Re: Sony Gaming Boss On The "Great Experiences" Available On Switch And A More Open Future
It's easy to discuss a well intentioned future. Much harder to put your sentiment in action today.

Interested to hear more about the control scheme. That will make or break the experience.
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want From A Switch Mini?
I don't want a Switch mini. If anything, I want a Switch Plus. Moar power!! You've already accomplished the AAA experience in a mobile setting. Time to focus more on the AAA and less on the mobile.
Re: Nintendo Reconfirms Switch Release Windows For Metroid, Pokémon, Animal Crossing And More

Re: Review: Wargroove - A Turn-Based Strategy Classic That Intelligent Systems Would Be Proud Of
