I guess it depends what you’re looking at.

Star Wars stuff, with the exception of exclusives like the Razor Crest, seem to get marked down across the board. Kyle Ren’s shuttle is $104 on Amazon. Poe’s X-Wing was down to $75. The Millennium Falcon was $128. AT AT, $141. I’ve even seen the UCS Falcon for $50-100 off MSRP on Zavvi.

@Tharsman I see sets going 20% off (USA) all the time. Haven’t been following the Mario ones, but Star Wars and Marvel stuff out for 4-6 months will get knocked down at brick and mortar retailers/Amazon.

@Moroboshi876 “Bowser” era policies? Gimme a break. Anything gaming being discontinued is coming from Japan. NOA doesn’t make those kind of decisions.

I played it to completion on Game Pass. This game isn’t nearly as good as Pikmin. It’s charming and has great music, the art is fantastic, but the gameplay isn’t as varied or well executed as Pikmin, and controls can be a little finicky.

Cmon Spelunky.

@g_ruz The actual size is only a few mm larger than the current Switch according to NVC. Hardly an issue.

@liveswired

So much for that prediction.

Had the same issue after purchasing a few games yesterday and putting the console into sleep mode, which borked all three downloads and produced this error.

I restarted (didn't work), shut down (didn't work), cleared the cache (didn't work), shut down again (didn't work), changed the DNS (didn't work), shut down again (didn't work), and instead of trying the "+" to download again, just clicked on the game to start the download, and for whatever reason, that worked on all three games.

Really big PITA, but it's the first real problem I've had outside of a game randomly crashing.

@MSpudley I actually agree—it is likely a revised switch is coming. Just like the last revision, which got better battery life due to less power consumption from the CPU/GPU.

It looks like DS gameplay with a Diablo (isometric) camera.

Something looks off. Flat. Stiff. Maybe it feels different when you’re the one in control.

Animation looks stilted and lifeless. The Art is objectively bad. Hard to see why this should get an article in any way.

@Anti-Matter

Sales indicate you’re in the minority.

There are way too many “cinematic experiences” already.

@PBandSmelly

The 3DS is no longer in production.

@haniwa

Do we? Why? Because if others haven’t played said games, they’re new to them.

SW FO is padded, too. The backtracking in that game sucks, and the map is tedious. They could have fixed a number of these issues with QoL improvements, but never did.

I don’t get the hate. Outside of a Wind Waker HD announcement, I was happy with what they showcased.

BOTW 2 and MP4 will be part of their e3 presentation if they have one. Their fall lineup remains a mystery.

I expect there may be a Monster Hunter centric one in a couple weeks, and probably one for Pokémon Snap 2 before that comes out.

@jamesthemagi

Last I checked, no, you can’t.

You can on the primary console. Not on the secondary. To play them on any other console, you have to be logged in as the person who purchased the games.

I already stated in a follow up that I didn’t mean simultaneously.

@Tandy255

Yeah, I didn’t state that, but I agree, it doesn’t have to be at the same time. But having it set up like a library where someone checks out the game while they are playing it would be easy enough.

They need to rigorously update their digital game sharing. I should, at a minimum, be able to easily share digital content with anyone in my household on any Switch using any profile. Tie it to the Switch Online account if necessary.

@SuperWeird

This isn’t true at all. First party games on Xbox Series are going to support the One, S and X for a limited time. Third party games can support whichever consoles they choose, IE only the newer consoles.

Does that make business sense given the current install base? Probably not. That’s probably why nearly any non-exclusive is coming to every console out there for the time being.

The world looks a bit plain when compared to everything else. It’s like the aesthetic doesn’t match, a bit too real looking and flat, while the characters are a bit more cartoonish.

I’ll have to wait and see how it reviews. Even then, the backlog would only grow...

@Emob

The logic here is wrongheaded. The Switch can’t currently power those games in handheld mode at higher resolutions, but a revised model could. I don’t see them doing a 4K anything, unless it’s some sort of checkerboard upscaling, and only in docked mode, because they’ve always chosen to underpower their consoles post GC era.

That being said, I’m ready for a new model if they release it and it seems like enough of a reason to upgrade. If they undercook it the way Sony did the PS4 Pro, then probably not. Unless there’s a sweet Zelda edition...

Super Enter the Gungeon.

@somebread game is already out on other platforms, so probably not.

@Dman10
It’s almost like three different companies are pricing their games differently. The nerve!

@nessisonett

It’s called ‘copyright’, not ‘copywrong’.

@Friendly

Sure, compare a stand-alone device that runs the game to a copy of a game that requires a separate system to run. Sounds like apples to apples to me...

@jump
Minus the glider, which incentivizes vertical exploration, the open-world climbing mechanics used in BOTW are definitely present in AC Origins, which came out like five months earlier.

The art doesn’t seem to have the charm that Zelda ALttP has. It’s clean, but kind of sterile, based off the screenshots.

@DeclanS98

Except for the people who own the platform, right? For what purpose does Twitter exist?

@FX102A If you have Game Pass, West of Dead is worth a look. It's also on Switch.

@sixrings And there is no BC on Switch, which was clear from day one.

TLoU remastered was full price when released seven years ago. It’s not an impressive port when compared to any first party title this generation. MCC was rushed out and took a year or two to get everything fixed.

You keep going to a different argument. I never said anything about what is or isn’t a good value.

@sixrings While I have bought Wii U ports on the Switch, I didn’t buy the Switch for Wii U ports, and when I did, it wasn’t because I thought they would be drastically better versions of themselves. My comment has nothing to do with defending Nintendo and the job they’ve done porting Wii U software to the Switch, even if that’s what you’d like to retcon it into.

Most of what you’re talking about have been modest improvements of games, and that’s fine, but it’s also not what you were talking about happening for BC on the other systems.

@sixrings Apples and oranges comparison. The Switch never promised BC in any form, and any hardware gains you’re referencing are due to the PC-like nature of both PS and XBOX consoles at this point and the super expensive SSDs the consoles use.

Any expectations you had for graphics/frame rate being markedly different on Switch than Wii U ignored the information that was readily available.

@Daldra Right, the UE is. It’s $40. Not the one everyone bought last year when it came out.

@barneygumble They aren’t all getting free upgrades. Third parties are encouraged to offer them, but NBA2K isn’t. Control isn’t. I’m sure there are or will be others that aren’t. Supposedly some Bethesda games are being repackaged/bundled with upgrades for the XS X/S consoles—whether or not they are offered for Free to people who own them is unknown.

@Ventilator that’s too bad. Bloodborne is a fantastic game.

@SwitchVogel Watch a $500+ device run it better than a $300 one. Shocker.

@Rohanrocks88 AC3 shouldn’t have needed a patch to make it play better; the game was a port of a previous generation game, not something newish coming out.

This is a misleading headline. There are no public statements from Nintendo saying that. The law firm is the one making that claim.

Tried Bloodstained on GamePass and didn’t get the love for it. Movement was so slow and the platforming felt off.

If Witcher 3 can come, anything this gen or prior can make it. It’s just a question of when.

@NathanTheAsian

It’s tangentially Zelda. neither game is really true to the roots of the mainline series, so the audience for both games probably have some overlap, but I just think you’re way off base thinking sales from a game over a year old are going to be negatively impacted by a brand new one simply because it’s getting a physical release.

I don’t care about online backlash about announcements or lack there of. People get outraged over stupid things all the time. There are a lot more pressing issues going on in the world today than Nintendo not giving you news on the new shiny thing you want.

@NathanTheAsian

Not really. These are two totally different games, one of which has been out well over a year and costs half as much as the other will.

@super08mario you only need to do 5 of the 6 missions.

@OmegaDestroyer I agree, it IS really hard to support a developer who makes good games.

/s

Get over yourself. The company has done what it had to do to make the games it wanted to. The fact that Switch is the first console on the books for arguably their best game is a boon for Switch owners, and I’m sure it will come to other platforms in time like nearly every other title they’ve made has.

@Dr_Corndog You do what I did and buy another one!

@sketchturner The sales numbers for AC as a series, prior to NH, disagrees. The numbers are similar to the 3D Mario ones.

@sketchturner So that's enough for what, 20% of the current Switch install base?

AC:NH sold over double that in a few months. Granted, many copies were purchased digitally, but 10 million for a first party Nintendo game would actually but it at the load end of the life-to-date sales spectrum.
