Re: Reaction: Switch 2 Needed A Partner Showcase With Pep; This Wasn't It

RumandCohibas

This was the perfect Direct to make a statement about Switch 2 prowess and ability to play third party games to a high standard and Nintendo somehow managed to completely mess it up.

Nintendo have just dropped one of the worst Directs I have ever seen, disappointing so many of us early adopters and will now go radio silent until their next Direct, only coming out of hibernation at certain intervals to let us all know that a random game from 20-30 years is now available to play on NSO…

Nintendo are slowly turning into Disney or Apple, they treat their loyal and sometimes blinded fanbase with disdain and will attempt to extract as much money off them as humanly possible, most expensive Nintendo console, most expensive Nintendo games, most expensive SD card, most expensive accessories etc and in return for emptying your wallet, they expect you to be excited to play a shambolic camping game which allows you to see fellow campers, but only if you buy Nintendos very expensive 720p camera of course…

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (19th July)

Banana!! 🍌 Me and my partner playing DK coop, it’s actually a lot of fun. You can destroy the level so much easier than playing single player.

I’m very impressed with the fact that so much is going on and I have yet to see frame-rate drops. Well done Nintendo, this game is a solid 10 and imo the first must play game for Nintendo Switch 2.

Nintendo now DK is out how about that Direct please?

Re: Rumour: Final Fantasy Devs Supposedly Hint At Another Nintendo Release

Nintendo now dominates the Japanese market. Squaresoft knows it makes financial sense to bring their catalogue to Switch 2. There is no excuses from any third party company’s now. Switch 2 is powerful and can handle these games.

I would be very happy to play Final Fantasy 16 on my Switch 2 and it would be a day 1 purchase. I already own the Final Fantasy 7 remake and have completed it on the PS4 but to show love to Squaresoft for bringing the whole trilogy to Switch. I will pre order it for my Switch 2.

Re: Third-Party Launch Games On Switch 2 Reportedly Sold "Very Low Numbers"

RumandCohibas

Third party sales will pick up when the price drops. I’m a Yakuza fan and own all but a few on the PS4, i have almost 100% completed Yakuza 0 it’s an amazing game, but I wouldn’t pay £45 for it. £30 maximum. Now Yakuza pirate in Hawaii? It would have been a day 1 and I would have pai

I bought street fighter 6 and it’s worth every pound I spent on it.

Re: Switch 2's Best-Selling eShop Games So Far

RumandCohibas

Street fighter 6 should be 3rd, the game is so cool, highly recommend. Going to pick up Cyberpunk at some point too, probably when it drops in price to £40-£50, Split Fusion is another I have my eye on.

Cmon Nintendo, you guys need’s to drop a direct ASAP, us Switch 2 early adopters deserve to get a sneak peak of what the big N is cooking over the next year or so.

ID Software & Bethesda, please bring Doom the Dark Ages to Switch 2 this year, that’s all I want!

Re: The Company That "Leaked" Switch 2 Is Being Sued By Nintendo

RumandCohibas

Nintendo are FIERCE when it comes to protecting their brand. Genki completely messed up revealing the Switch 2 before Nintendo. You don’t pick a fight with a huge company like Nintendo and it’s army of lawyers.

I don’t like to read about people losing their jobs, but the people who leaked confidential information need to be held accountable and dismissed.

Re: Reggie Fils-Aimé Weighs In On 'Switch 2 Welcome Tour' Controversy (Sort Of)

RumandCohibas

To go see a film in the cinema costs £12, a Five Guys burger and fries costs £13, two Starbucks Frappuccinos costs £12, a game made by a talented bunch of designers at Nintendo for £10 that is also yours forever is fine imo.

Too many people just like to moan and want everything for free. These moron influencers are making a big deal out of nothing, I remember the days a NEO GEO game cost £200, an Imported N64 £900. If you can’t afford a game that costs £10 then maybe gaming is not for you.

Re: EA's Share Price Plummets After Reports Of Disappointing Financial Performance

RumandCohibas

EA need to stop playing safe and doing the same thing every single year, there are so many different and unique sports that if they made games about would certainly do well, sports such as Surfing, Hockey, Sky Diving, Parkour, Basketball, Rollerskating, Beach Volleyball, Athletics, Sailing, Tennis etc

EA start exploring different sports rather than the same old ones! You got to be a bit more creative you’re becoming DULL.

Re: Switch 2 Supply Chain Figures Reportedly Revealed Ahead Of 2025 Launch

RumandCohibas

Price is king! Talk all you like about specs, improvements, new games blah blah it’s all about the pricing of the console and in these tough times getting people to move on from older hardware is a challenge.

HMV said that DVDS still outsell Blu-rays and 4k Blu-rays, why? DVDs are still cheaper than the latter. Sony and Microsoft have found it hard to get people to move on to their latest generation of consoles even Apple had to turn off older iPhone models to get users to upgrade! Microsoft struggled to get millions to move off Windows XP up until they shut it down last year hundreds of millions of computers were still using it.

As others have said if Nintendo can keep this around £299 - £399 they have a winner on their hands. Pricing is the most important factor for the Switch 2’s release and success.

Re: Rumour: 'Switch 2' Will Reportedly Be Officially Revealed This Thursday

RumandCohibas

Makes no sense to ONLY show the console, even if the reveal has been pushed forward due to the amount of leaks happening, we all kind of know what we’re getting already.

Even under the hood, it’s not going to be as powerful as current gen consoles, it’s about the games with Nintendo and it always has been.

My prediction is they will show third party games being released Day 1 for the new console, especially those by EA. Getting EA on board with Switch is so important going forward especially for the Madden games (finally!) Microsoft’s COD should make an appearance and lastly, Nintendo’s big reveal I’m certain will be a new Mario Kart.

Re: Review: Yakuza Kiwami (Switch) - A Decent Port Of An Ambitious, Frustrating Game

RumandCohibas

What kind of review score is this? 6/10? I bought the game and it looks and runs amazing, it’s classic Yakuza and it’s on Switch for the first time, it’s easy a 8/10, your final score is trash, you praise the game then give it a mediocre score, what’s that about?

You definitely haven’t played Yakuza 5 if you think Yakuza Kiwami has pacing issues, Yakuza 5 goes on forever….Kiwami is a breeze compared to 5.

Re: Best Super Mario Games Of All Time

RumandCohibas

The first time I seen Mario 64 in an imported Japanese console, my jaw hit the ground. It was the same feeling I got seeing Quake running on a PC. I felt the future had arrived. And it was one step closer to games looking like real life, a discussion that many gamers talked about.

Up until Mario 64 everything was 2D and the small amount of 3D games were forgettable. I was amazed at Mario Bros 3, seeing it for the first time on the film The Wizard and putting the gold cartridge in the NES and many years later seeing Mario World on the SNES, being wowed by Yoshi and the colour palette etc. But nothing comes close to seeing Mario 64 on an imported Japanese N64. The future had arrived and there was no going back.

I remember in the import shop there was hordes of gamers including me standing around just in awe at what Nintendo had managed to do, Mario was running around in a 3D world, a platform game in 3D and it looked so good! It was a special moment in time and a giant leap in the evolution of video games and the games industry. Thanks Nintendo 🙏

P.S. Honourable mention to the Galaxy games and Odyssey, they are something special.

Re: Pokémon Developer Game Freak Reportedly Hacked, Massive Amounts Of Data Allegedly Leaked

RumandCohibas

I despise hackers, they are a bunch of pathetic stay at home criminals. I was so excited to see GTA 6 and it was ruined by a pathetic nerd who hacked Rockstar.

Whether it’s hacking into business’s to blackmail companies or hacking into pensioners accounts to steal money. They are scum.

I’m always happy to read when they are caught and cry mental illness when they are getting thrown into prison to get bullied by the other criminals.
