Link has had fantastic voice actors ever since Ocarina of Time precisely because he didn't speak words. The moment he does you're gonna dub over it with the literal first schmuck off the street.
@Dom_31 It's a great take but it also kinda breaks throws. Maybe if they logged every broken weapon and let you resurrect them from a list of recents that could keep it around.
"It shares almost nothing with the N64 game beyond plot points and characters" I beg to doffer, Wii GoldenEye has all the same multiplayer modes and several relevant cheats, like DK mode and paintball mode
Heh, the opposite turn out of nowhere? Reminds me of the first stage in Outrun. It does a fast left-right-left designed to demolish anyone who didn't anticipate or speed down.
RR3 is my fav racer on Switch (and I have most of them), wouldn't mind having a go at a dedicated top-down take on the sport. Used to be a big fan of stuff like Ignition and Death Rally too, so there's an itch to be scratched.
@BongoBongo123 Oh those Resi 4 controls are an acquired taste for sure. That said it did support the circle pad pro, for the same controls as on WiiU/Switch
This happens with regularity on the eShop and is easy to spot if you keep a few titles on your watch list. So, no need to take the stance of "better get this quick or we'll never see it again ever".
@Rpg-lover I'll repeat, Criterion did Most Wanted. In particular, the same Criterion people who did Burnout Paradise. And when they did they made a near exact replica of Paradise.
The rest of the NFS series is unrelated sure, but not Most Wanted.
@Rpg-lover Usually true, except that one. Most Wanted is made by the Burnout devs to the exact same recipe as Paradise. The only real difference between the two games being licensed cars traded for vehicle deformation Oh, and the text on the title screen.
@Rpg-lover Well the last time we got a Burnout game on a Nintendo platform was Need For Speed Most Wanted on the Wii U. I'm happy its prequel is headed for Switch though~
@Zenszulu A lot of people like simulators, no need to gatekeep them being games. (though where this one is concerned, maybe I agree. haven't tried it)
More worrying is this article is misleading people into thinking it's a very different kind of game.
It's not a rival to Rollercoaster Tycoon (not a tycoon game) and it does not let you run a park (you operate rides).
The biggest disappointment in that game was that the villagers didn't respond to the runelike chat system. But it had other neat features AC was missing at the time - including progressing friendships and (blushie) dating.
@pip_muzz huh, I've seen that exact thing happen to some twenty other games (tiny metal and zero gunner 2 for example) so that sounds like it might be it.
You got pretty far in though huh, could you tell me a little bit about the game's appeal? I've only ever played the first twenty minutes or so, which featured writing so cringe-inducing I had to delet forever - meaning I basically missed out on the entire game.
@mist Just set your account to the appropriate region and you're golden.
Too late now, but if you'd made a second account with the appropriate region and redeemed the DLC on that it would still make the content playable for all other accounts on the console.
@NEStalgia Unintuitive games are pretty popular these days. Your QWOP, Surgeon Simulator, Manual Samuel, Octodad, Getting Over It and so on. Wouldn't ignore the possibility it's appealing
Based on >dollar sales, right. Absolutely skewed. This is like when Guitar Hero World Tour topped the dollar charts because in addition to the guitar it came with a mic and digital drum set - sporting a price to match.
@OorWullie Have you considered the automatic fridge cleaning option? It does a pretty decent job (and you can opt games out of it if there are ones you always want on there)
@Wavey84 I have some doubts they'll fix the audio thing. It's working as intended (playing at full recorded speed etc), issue stems from the way they sourced that audio in the first place.
Man, I'm enjoying how ridiculous this article is. From using Ultimate as an example of balance, to promoting lack of balance as enjoyable. Five bucks says this is a mistranslation and he's saying he wants a diverse cast as opposed to Haohmaru vs Haohmaru only.
@BulkSlash Funny you say defacement, as the BFG edition is graphically inferior as well. A pain to follow up on as Steam took down the original releases when BFG came out - unless you already own those.
@berga89 Refer to mazzel's responses. CAT 5E is the minimum requirement for cables just to elaborate.
Incidentally there is no Wi-Fi setup that won't introduce packet loss, even if you glued your Switch to your router - so suppose you stick with what you have as you have it today, wired will be better for games even if downloads are faster wireless. Throughput versus reliability, I guess.
@mazzel Oh you won't find find any router out there that doesn't support gigabit ethernet. Unless you mean your Internet service isn't anywhere close to that then don't worry, you'll see improvement in response time in spite of this.
Without getting technical, you benefit from having your local equipment being significantly faster than the performance you're looking to achieve. ~And the simplest way to get some insight here is to try it out in a peer to peer based game.

Re: Talking Point: Should Link Have Voice Acting In The Next Zelda Game?

Re: Random: You Can Use Your Switch Joy-Cons As A Replacement Wii Sensor Bar
@nesrocks In Resident Evil Revelations you can put the JoyCon to your thigh in order to reload.
It's a little hard to come up with uses for it, and it ups the JoyCon battery drain a bit when you do so most devs forgo this sensor.

@EmoGamer If so that makes even more sense. That name might pop up on the screen of all your friends.

Well, day one buy for me - love Hypnospace Outlaw
Re: Chocobo GP's Latest Switch Update Addresses Various Online Issues, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
"1. Fixed an issue where the game stops progressing at the rankings screen at the end of a race and while matchmaking for the next race."
Except that happened to me in my very first ChocoGP after the first race after this patch.
Game's got growing pains ~
Re: Best Of 2021: Why Do Games Get Removed From Switch eShop? It's Surprisingly Easy
That VN scene was the dentist one wasn't it? Good call, that.
I feel bad for the Darkside Detective though as the first game got delisted as well.
Re: Rush Rally Origins Brings More Top Down Racing Action To Switch eShop This Year
RR3 is my fav racer on Switch (and I have most of them), wouldn't mind having a go at a dedicated top-down take on the sport.
Used to be a big fan of stuff like Ignition and Death Rally too, so there's an itch to be scratched.

@Kintypoo121 I was about to recommend Rush Rally 3 to you but somebody beat me to it ~
Re: Random: Talented Hacker Bumps The Frame Rate Of SNES Race Drivin' From 4fps To 30
Nice, reminds me of the PC game Stunts by Distinctive Software. Amazing racer back then.
Re: Feature: Best Wii U Games

Something of a downgrade, but scratched the itch ~

Re: Best Of 2020: 8 Games That Could Really Benefit From A Modern Remake On Switch
Resident Evil: Revelations already is a remastered Gaiden and you know it.
Can confirm it was a good idea.
Re: Feature: Evercade's Latest Cart Is Offering A Vital Connection To Nintendo History
@Crono1973 Piko collection has a couple iirc. Yet to find out if they're good though.

Re: Review: TT Isle of Man – Ride on the Edge 2 - Better Than The Original, But With Room To Improve
@kobashi100 It doesn't. Games have to specifically support it and read the analogue input.

Where's the option for It's perfectly fine but I'm not doing it?
Pls...
(The one for "It's okay but only when I do it the way I did it" is hilarious though)
Re: This Small Switch eShop Update Makes It A Lot Easier To See What Games Look Like
@james_squared Hard agree. It's so quick to scroll off the game's title you basically have to highlight something else to see what it is.

Re: Theme Park Simulator Brings The Fun Of The Fair To Switch This Week
@Zenszulu Yeah it's not a tycoon or park building game. You just get to ride the rides and control how they work.
This article is kinda deceptive on that front.

@Mr_Pepperami A jab at Mike Matei's recent tweet.
But don't worry he and purists like him don't bemoan the feature, just its use.

Re: Conker's Creator Doesn't Think There Would Be As Much Noise For Other Rare IP On Switch
People did cry out for Diddy- , and would have for Donkey Kong. I'd say the Rare love spreads beyond the burd~
Re: "Savage" Arena Shooter Demon Pit Brings Hellish FPS To Switch
One of DOOM's biggest strengths in particular is not being wave based, so that's kind of an inconvenient comparison for them.
For what it is though, seems cool.
Re: You No Longer Need A Bethesda Account To Play DOOM And DOOM II On Switch
Interesting note, even after the patch the game tags itself as using an active online connection. Halting other downloads while you play.
Re: You No Longer Need A Bethesda Account To Play DOOM And DOOM II On Switch
@Wavey84 I have some doubts they'll fix the audio thing. It's working as intended (playing at full recorded speed etc), issue stems from the way they sourced that audio in the first place.
Re: Samurai Shodown Director Says A Perfectly Balanced Fighting Game Would Be Boring
Man, I'm enjoying how ridiculous this article is. From using Ultimate as an example of balance, to promoting lack of balance as enjoyable.

Re: New Switch Models To Reportedly Benefit From Sharp's Energy Efficient IGZO Displays
Heh, reminds me they still claim I can't put a 256GB SD card into my 3DS. Underestimating the FAT format.
Re: New Switch Models To Reportedly Benefit From Sharp's Energy Efficient IGZO Displays
@kobashi100 Having a Vita I couldn't disagree more about OLED. Colours alone make its games stand out.
Re: Review: Doom 3 - A Dark, Unnerving Oddity In The Slayer Series That Still Impresses
