@DanijoEX "How would this be implemented?"
Like ANY OTHER team-versus-team shooter out there.
Unreal Tournament, in 1999, you could play teams versus teams, and there were BOTS of various levels of intelligence....that were able to strategize.
Including, among thousands of mods in Unreal Tournament, there was one, where the objective was exactly the same as in Splatoon....painting the scenery. And the bots acted cooperatively.
Unless today, in 2023, Nintendo is not able to create an artificial intelligence, something that already existed since before 1999 .... then NinTendo must be quite incompetent in this regard.
In Rocket League, if a person leaves the online match, he is immediately replaced by a Bot (in all game modes, including the special modes of each Season). And this Bot is very well implemented.
In Splatoon 3, if a person leaves the game, he is not even replaced by a Bot.
Nintendo doesn't make the slightest effort with respect to Artificial Intelligence. Which Nintendo game has good Artificial Intelligence? Now I am curious. I'm trying to think of one.
I didn't watch the movie. I'll only watch it when it's very cheap on streaming platforms and I'll watch it in my cinema room comfortably with the family, without having to pay for multiple movie tickets.
@BinaryMessiah i play since 1981. I have now 38 consoles, 4000+ games. ALL generations.I' ve never paid $70 in a game. And I won't. I paid $60 for 3 or 4 games. In my country games are cheaper (not Nintendo, all of the other companies sells cheaper here). For example. In 80´s A Master System 3d game (the most expensive games here....to use pistol and 3d glasses) was about R.30,00. In 90s Guardian Heroes (Sega Saturn) was R.90,00, Final fantasy VII (Playstation) was R.90,00 and Mario Kart 64 (Nintendo 64) was R.120,00. Today, Elden Ring is R.140,00 (Steam), and Pokemon Sword is R.350,00 - R.400,00 ( !!! R.350 = $70)....New Zelda is R.440,00 ($80+).....but a Xbox Series S/x game is about R.230,00...The Witcher 3, on Steam, is R.19,00 ($3,8)....The most expensive game I paid last 5 years using my own money (not a gift) was Dragonball Fighter Z + all DLC..it was R.280,00 ($55 Steam)....on Switch its about R.450,00 ($90).
There are games that I don't think are worth it. If I feel like playing a Metroidvania, why would I buy METROID DREAD for $60 (here this game is R.350.00...$70,00), a game that lasts 10-15 hours of content....if I can buy HOLLOW KNIGHT complete edition, with over 150 hours of content...for $4 (here this game is R.20.00 on Steam and R.40.00 / $8 on sale on Switch). That is, I bought Hollow Knight and I did not and will NEVER buy Metroid Dread.
For me, it's not worth $60. It doesn't matter to me who did it, how many people were involved. I applaud the developers of Hollow Knight. I'm not loyal to any brand, and I don't care about details that I shouldn't care about. I'm the customer, I only care about the final product and the price. Just it. And neither should I.
I shouldn't care about anything else. The marketing, the message, this "additional value" created by advertising pieces, and the development of "love for brands" that companies do. This doesn't hook me. I am immune to this type of marketing strategy. I don´t have any love for any brand. I have love for me and myself. My favorite game company today is Aksys (Blazblue, Guilty Gear, Dragonball Fighter Z, Undernight, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, Blazing Strike, DNF Duels, Melty Blood...etc...). I love fighting games (i play tournaments)...but no fighting game costs $70 here. Street Fighter 6 is $55 here (this is the most expensive fighting game here..I paid $6 for Guilty Gear Strive, the best fighting game nowadays...more than 400 hours of gameplay i have...and going...)...I paid about $30 for Soulcalibur VI (my best game ever) including all DLC. I ´d never pay $60 or $70 for these games. I´d never pay $60 or $70 for nintendo games too.
@BinaryMessiah
I only wrote this because Nintendo itself, at the beginning of Nintendo Switch in an interview said that creating 1080 HD games was much more expensive than creating games for Wii U and Wii.
The technical reasons for Nintendo to say this I don't know.
The only thing I know is that I already bought games more expensive than Zelda to be produced, like Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA V, for $22 and $8 on Steam, in my country. And I will never, ever, in my entire life, give $70 to Nintendo for a game. No game deserves $70 in my opinion. I have a lot of options and Nintendo is not even my favorite game producer. From Nintendo a like: Advance Wars, Mario Kart, Warioware and Smash Bros franchise only. I´ll never pay $60 for these games. I'm not even going to pay $60 for Advance Wars 1 + 2 because I also don't think that game is worth that much. I will continue playing the GBA versions that are the same.
I have only 3 physical copies: Clubhouse Games 51, Smash bros Ultimate and Just Dance 2021.
The 3 games came from another country. These games were a gift.
I don't like getting up to change a cartridge. These 3 games work like this for me. The one I leave on the switch will stay for 6...10 months...because I don't have the patience to change it. Now it´s the Smash Bros time. But it was Clubhouse 51 for a whole year.
I'm used to Steam, which is where I play the most. I click on the game and play. No need to change the cartridge is much better, faster. Game Pass...the same. Much better.
Do not get me wrong. I used to be a collector, I have more than 4000 physical games here, but all for old consoles. These days, I don't have the slightest bit of patience. I don't attach the slightest value to this.
Digital should be cheaper, not this expensive. Steam is the best way to buy a game. There is no justification even on the part of Nintendo that convinces me.
Zelda isn't even at 1080. I think many people here know that the production cost increases for a 4k game, for example. Nintendo is very greedy. It tries to use as many assets as possible from previous games, and uses marketing gimmicks to create "additional value" that doesn't exist. It's artificial. Unfortunately, this "additional value" populates the minds of many passive people.
@KevinP If you see me commenting on various news, it's because you also read all the news. If I participate in all of them, it's natural that I will comment on news about subjects I like more and others I like less.
@Crockin nobody cares about your opinion either. Nobody cares about anybody. And it is correct. Nobody should care about anyone else's opinion. Still, everyone can give their opinion, regardless of whether anyone cares!
@Mgalens The important thing is to have fun! Probably, if you reviewed the games I like, you would rate them low. For me, Street Fighter IV is 10/10. For you it might be 6/10. And I would probably give low ratings to games you like.
Everyone would be right, because what amuses one person may not amused another.
Then I ask...
Should a fighting game only be reviewed by a fighting game expert?
Can a Shmup game only be reviewed by a shmup specialist?
Could a zelda only be analyzed by a 3D adventure specialist?
If so, every website or magazine will need many more employees!
If magazines and websites have few employees, and not specialists in each style of game...the tendency is for games in the genres they like the most, to receive higher marks.....isn't it?
@Rambler @Rambler In a game, for me, I need to be competing against another human being or against a GREAT artificial intelligence. With well-defined rules.
Besides liking strategy games, where I feel like I'm competing against an artificial intelligence turn by turn (not jRPG, something more XCOM, Civilization...), and fighting games, and some sports games, curiously I don't like FPS games.....but I like Shmups...(not Bullet Hell). Bullet Hell are predefined patterns. No matter where you fly your ship, the shots will follow the same pattern. I find it very boring. I don't feel "competing". I like Shmups like Raiden...because the enemy's shooting patterns will chase you, so the game's intelligence will react to the choices and maneuvers I make with my ship. It's visceral, it's non-stop action, fast strategy and pure joystick skill. This entertains me.
I thought the message was cool....but the speed of this game seems so slow....imagine me flying in slow motion for 5 minutes in the air...in a game! To admire a virtual landscape? This to me is a waste of time. Very annoying! I need a LOT more action than this!
@Rambler Honestly, one of the things that interests me least in a game is the artistic part. I am almost exclusively interested in the gameplay.
I'm not interested in history, art, none of that.
I'm interested in good artificial intelligence capable of attacking my character in completely intelligent ways that I need to overcome with skill, intelligence, and quick thinking.
An example? Ninja Gaiden Black. An enemy will never attack you the same way. They react to your behavior...they give up on one strategy and come up with another, sometimes collectively.
Zelda's enemies always do the exact same thing. It has no intelligence. This bothers me a lot.
I don't care about the art... if Link were a duck, but with the same gameplay, it would still be the same for me.
If Hayabusa (Ninja Gaiden) was a wooden box, but with that gameplay, I would still think the same thing!
Walking around a virtual scenario back and forth with nothing happening... just to admire the landscape? No. This makes me sleepy! If I play a game and I have to walk for 1 minute in a virtual scenario with absolutely NOTHING happening, it makes me extremely bored.
I don't care about the background... if I'm in a forest, in a castle, this is completely irrelevant to me, if I don't have an artificial intelligence demanding of me.
@Cia I prefer The Witcher 3 than Zelda BOTW (I feel like falling asleep playing this game.).. The Witcher 3 world is just perfect. The dub is perfect, characters, everything. And i does not like RPG......
No COUNTER STRIKE? Really? 24-30 million people playing monthly this game year after year....one of the most important and influential game ever!
No Activision game? Really? This list is more political than realistic.
LOL....Street Fighter is the only fighting game in this list? LOL LOL LOL no King of Fighters? no Tekken? no Mortal Kombat? REALLY???
ok...its trash!
FABLE 2 (trash trash trash) is there, but NOT DIABLO ???? REALLY???? All Rogue-lite drink from the source of Diablo!! pssss
"Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss" is there (LOL)....but NOT ROCKET LEAGUE??? 20 million people playing monthly this game for 13 years!!! One of the most intense e-sports leagues in this world OUT from this list? It´s a joke!
The Secret of Monkey Island, but NOT "The Dig", the most important point-&-click EVER! It´s a joke.
"What Remains of Edith Finch" is there, but NOT XCOM....LOL
Sorry...i put this list in the trash.
Nobody needs to agree with me. And it is impossible for me to change my opinion after having gone to check the list.
It is very difficult for the producer to overcome the first game, Hollow Knight, the game that is the king of Metroidvanias, surpassing (AND A LOT) the creators of the genre, Castlevania and Metroid. If they manage to overcome Hollow Knight...it will be a historic feat!
Hollow Knight has sold 6.5 million copies on Steam alone.
This game deserves respect! No game in this genre has sold this much!
@Serpenterror i don´t like to play this way on the bed.
I prefer to lie on my side and have my arms free. Then I rest the switch on the bed and use the Touchscreen.
As many small publishers put the Touchscreen option in their strategy games, I find it outrageous that Nintendo does not put this option in a First Party FULL PRICE $60 game, the touchscreen being one of the advantages of Nintendo's own hardware.
This is just one of the reasons why I won't be buying Advance Wars 1+2.
I will only buy a Nintendo game when it has enough content for the price Nintendo charges.
I don't like every genre of game out there. So, until today, for Switch, from Nintendo I only bought warioware, mario kart 8 and super smash bros ultimate.
I bought Nintendo Switch Sports too, but I regretted it, as this game has very little content for the price charged.
I don't like adventure games, so I don't play Zelda, Mario, Donkey Kong, Kirby, Yoshi, Metroid, Pokemon, so I can't comment on those.
But I like strategy, but Advance Wars 1 + 2 is a disappointment for me.
@Serpenterror i play on the bed, before sleeping, and it's more comfortable to rest the switch on the bed, and use the touchscreen. This is how I play Into the Breach, a strategy game like Advance Wars. This is how I play Steamworld Heist (strategy game), Dicey Dungeons (strategy game), Slay the Spire (card strategy game)...Clubhouse Games 51 (board and strategy games). I really miss the touchscreen in Advance Wars 1+2. I dont play non-touchscreen games on the bed. My neck hurts.
No touch controls is really bad.
With Advance Wars 1+2 as well. It's horrible that game doesn't have touch control. But, for Advance Wars 1 + 2 game, Nintendolife didn't consider that as a con. Why?
@Nintendo_Thumb When I wrote about difficulties online on the Nintendo Switch, it wasn't specifically about the Nintendo Switch Sport game. Surprisingly, the top 4 games for meeting people online are: Just Dance, Mario Kart 8, Nintendo Switch Sport, Rocket League. They work like a rhodisium. These, among the ones I played, stood out.
But other games are hard to play with people on my friends list (whom I don't know personally). You have to make an appointment... go to Discord... remember the person's nickname on the Switch... hope the person is online (its impossible to know if people are online on the Switch, only if they're playing a game. Hardly anyone who's already is playing, will exit the game to play another game with you).
Difficulties like this do not exist on other consoles or on Steam. On Steam, other players don't even need to own the game or a gaming pc to play with you. I take a game that only I have, I see the list of people who are waiting for invitations to play, I send them a link to my game and they can play with me from a simple pc, steam deck, a tablet/ipad, a smartphone or even mirrored on the TV. Just have a bluetooth controller like the xbox. They don't even need to install. Just click on the link and you're already playing with me, with or without voice chat. (I don't like voice chat, I prefer typing).
How is it possible to chat with these people, if the person wants to play, but can't at that moment, the person can ask me if I can wait, 5...10 minutes to get ready to play with me. Communication is key.
I wanted to ask you a question. I see you have the Arms game. Do you think it's worth $60? I see you've only played it for 15 hours. Is the game worth it? I played the demo, I liked it, but I didn't think it was worth $60, so I didn't buy it.
@Nintendo_Thumb Hello. Honestly, I'm enjoying this conversation, even though we have very different thoughts.
I buy a lot of games, accessories and consoles. I collect. I have about 40 video games and many accessories. It's part of the hobby. And yes, I can't play all the games for so many hours. Only favorites is that I have 1000+ hours like Dirt Rally, Gears 5, Tekken 7 and Street Fighter.
Adding all this up is something like $6000/yr. This year, a good part of this amount was used to complete two cockpits with Fanatec accessories, one for my PC gamer and one for my wife's PC gamer. But I didn't say that to brag. It's just a gamer-to-gamer chat. I've been at this for over 40 years.
About Nintendo Switch Sports, I did know what to expect. However, buying on day-1, I imagined that, at least within each sport, there would be more variation. At wii sports resort, for example, there were more bowling options, such as the 100-pin challenge. Even Kinect Sports had more variation and it was also possible to play online.
Nintendo, in its sports games, included the online, but left the games with little content. Does not deserve their prices. Can't deny it.
I like value for money. I was on NSO for 1 year and hardly used it. I don't know anyone who has the Switch, except for my sister, who lives in another country and hardly ever plays.
Playing with unknown people online on Switch is not practical. On Steam it's very quick and simple. On Switch, you have to look for a discord, schedule an appointment..exchange codes…and hope that the person be online the same time that you (but you can not see online people waiting for invites, only playing people on Switch)…..usually people have different nicknames on Discord and Switch…..for me it's impractical. I like the simple thing, because I have many options available for me to play. I don't like to be kept waiting.
I don't like playing old games, I never played any SNES and NES games on my NSO subscription. They don't amuse me anymore, I played a lot when I was a teenager. I have almost all these games on their original consoles. These games no longer mean anything to me. The quality of online multiplayer and connection leaves a lot to be desired on Switch compared to Steam. ’ So I didn’t, and I probably won’t.
I must have about 40 games, backlog, between Steam and Switch right now.
If I like a game a lot, I dedicate myself to it a lot. This usually happens with sports, card games, shmups, racing and fighting games.
Unfortunately, I didn't see a lot of content to devote to Mario's sports games. They didn't entertain me much, and since I don't know anyone who likes those games, I have no one to play with. So these games are currently dead to me.
You are the first one I know with Nintendo Switch Sports. I'm not ranked, obviously. And it doesn't matter if I lose all the games, who knows, maybe this doesn't change my view of the game and I start to think that it was worth $39 in it...for the amount of content it offers? In soccer I don't need the strap to use my legs, because I use the just dance strap, which is the same.
Let's play... the point of being here, after all, is to play. My nickname is Deh. I'm adding you.
***I have 4 hours playing Nintendo Switch Sports. I haven't booted the game in a long time. I just saw now.
@Deviant-Dork i dont think this away, really, but i understand your point. Do not agree. Nintendo is not more important for me than any other company..only more arrogant and less pro-consumer.
@Nintendo_Thumb I used to love Wii Sports Resort. Here It shows 5 hours on my Switch. It may be longer than that, but it doesn't matter. I've seen everything the game has to offer. I played online these hours, several sports and the gameplay is obvious and simple. There isn't much to learn. It's super easy and limited. Kinect Sports has more depth than Nintendo Switch Sports. As soon as my NSO ran out... I played it once or twice with my wife's friends' kids and never again. I buy about $6000 worth of games a year. mostly for Steam, which is my main gaming system. I usually make little mistakes in the games I buy. For Switch, I only got it wrong with Nintendo Sports and MotoGP2018. On Steam I only messed up with Nights into Dreams and Race Arcade. Can't get them all right. At least the day kids come to visit my house... I play Nintendo Switch Sports for them. I still have 7 free days of NSO (i ve never used it). Want to play Nintendo Switch Sports with me online? I feel Wii sports resort much better and more complete than this game...but we can try to play it online...if you want...the game has not much content...but what it has is so-so near Wii sports resort. My wii sports resort memories is why i bought this game for switch. And..7 games should be enough..but not..cause you dont have much content inside each game. Probably you will win when you play with me (190 hours...)
@silverdamascus I have both. Trilogy and 4. I prefer Crash than any Mario 3D game. The game is hard to do 100%. So many things to do. I prefer Trilogy cause you have 3 games and its cheaper than Crash 4. Crash 4 is great. I feel that Trilogy is better cause you get more content for your investment.
It is legitimate for people to question the content of this and other Nintendo sports games.
Nintendo, over the years, has been incorporating more content into its games.
However, in this generation, especially sports games, came with much less content.
When people have a perception of low value in relation to the purchased product, they tend to complain (rightly so). Vampire Survivors has too many content for its price tag. That’s the gamer perception. Nintendo Switch Sports not.
Most people who have bought a Switch, have other video games as well, play them on Steam as well. Nintendo is not the only gamer culture for most people.
I dare say that Nintendo's extremely loyal audience is slightly smaller than the audience that bought the Wii U (and would buy any Nintendo video game with their eyes closed). It's just a guess, of course.
All other gamers, especially in this generation, are used to talking to game developers on Discord, and getting into discussions for game improvement. And the vast majority of companies respond to their audience and improve their games over time.
Gamers who ask for DLC for Nintendo Switch Sports are already used to this dynamic of game producers, of improving their products over time, and embedding more after-sales content.
Every Nintendo release, Nintendo uses aggressive marketing gimmicks, which include posts on social networks (digital marketing), specialized press and direct marketing. Euphoria is created among players (sometimes artificially, just to get impulse sales), and euphoria generates expectations.
So the game sells, however, when playing, the player thinks that the content offered does not match his expectations, many of which are generated by the euphoria of websites like this one.
One of the most plausible solutions is to put more content via DLC. We are all used to this from other companies.
Nintendo is losing contact with its public and this communication is becoming more and more artificial. Of course, the company sells well, as it invests a lot in marketing. With Pokemon, for example, news came out and the marketing budget exceeded the budget to create the game.
Anyway, Nintendo will probably not release a DLC for this game, and players have the right to be frustrated with this distancing from Nintendo, unlike other companies.
Asking for more content, since the perception of value for the price invested is low, asking for DLC in a discussion forum is legitimate and should not be questioned. Other companies makes more for you than Nintendo.
I have Nintendo Switch Sports. I played only 5 hours. I think this game begs for more content. It has fewer options and game modes (within each sport) than the last game in the series. The formula runs out very quickly. If this game were from another company, this game would certainly have more after-sales content. But…Nintendo….lives in their own bubble. This is not a reason to be proud. The company makes a profit, but so what? And I agree with you, soccer is terrible in this game.
@contractcooker but again. Lower prices = more Sales. More New players tasting Nintendo games. Probably more fan base.
Nintendo is greedy. Nintendo can be greedy. And Nintendo is greedier than the others anyway. We can not put Nintendo, Microsoft or Sony inside the same nest here.
Example. There are people who are arrogant. But some can be arrogant, because they won in life in an epic way. They shouldn't be arrogant, but they exercise the right to be. And at the end of the day, yes, they are arrogant. Nintendo is greedy. And we can call Nintendo greedy.
@contractcooker i think Nintendo is greedier.
Forza Horizon 5 was a huge sucess and was on sale 1 month after launch on Steam and Xbox. For example.
The games are much cheaper overtime. Microsoft's Forza Horizon 4 is $16 on Steam here (today). Nintendo charges $50..$60 and rarely $40 for old games. For example. Killer Instinct for $4 on Steam...Sea of Thieves (with a Lot of FREE New content) $8 here today...Ori for $5. Halo Master Collection for $15.
If these games were nintendo's games..It would still be $50..$60 games.
@Nintendo_Thumb Yes, so many games receive more content...including Forza. Every week I receive Steam alert that some Steam games i have are receiving more content. Usually for free or cheap DLC. Thats the usual. The most recent was Vampire Survivors (for $0,42 here). Maybe you only play Nintendo and Sony games.
Pummel Party, the "Steam Mario Party"...has New free boards and minigames EVERY year (for free). And now people can create content and share in this game. Some improovements over the original game:
4 New boards
21 New mini games
8 players at the same time: online or offline
content creator
more characters and acessories
more weapons
rules config
custom matches
And Nintendo does not have New content for Mario Party....
Conclusion:
I have 10 hours playing Maio Party Superstars.
I have 56 hours playing Pummel Party.
Yes...Nintendo Switch Sports needs more content tô deserve $39.
Pummel Party is $5 on sale here. And this game is better than Mario Party Superstars $60. And its getting better each New year. The minigames are great. Nintendo is $$lazy$$...Nintendo put the money on marketing than the fanboys.
@MeatSauce in 2004 we had $30 GBA Advance Wars 1 + 2 compilation.
Spyro the Dragon Trilogy (3 remakes with much more new assets with full dub in so many languages) = $39,90 ($19,90 on sale and $8 on Steam sale here). (The original games were more expensive).
Advance Wars 1 + 2(2 remakes, much less new assets than Spyro Trilogy) = $60
@Kang81 i played both on PC + TV, and Steam Deck. No problem here. Perfect quality. I paid $3 for both on Steam. These games are always on sale. In my country...sometimes the first one costs $0.6
@Dev9417 This game has virtually no offline content. I have not renewed the NSO and will never renew. The service is horrible. So I can't even unlock items on Nintendo Switch Sports.
I only pay NSO again if Nintendo copies Steam and allows us to see WHO IS ONLINE WITHOUT PLAYING A GAME, so that I can invite someone who is idle and waiting to play with someone else. Just like on Steam, it should be possible to invite any friend online to play. As long as that doesn't happen, I don't care about NSO's existence.

Re: Splatoon 3 'Sizzle Season 2023' Update Revealed - New Weapons, Stages, Game Modes And More
@DanijoEX "How would this be implemented?"
Like ANY OTHER team-versus-team shooter out there.
Unreal Tournament, in 1999, you could play teams versus teams, and there were BOTS of various levels of intelligence....that were able to strategize.
Including, among thousands of mods in Unreal Tournament, there was one, where the objective was exactly the same as in Splatoon....painting the scenery. And the bots acted cooperatively.
Unless today, in 2023, Nintendo is not able to create an artificial intelligence, something that already existed since before 1999 .... then NinTendo must be quite incompetent in this regard.
In Rocket League, if a person leaves the online match, he is immediately replaced by a Bot (in all game modes, including the special modes of each Season). And this Bot is very well implemented.
In Splatoon 3, if a person leaves the game, he is not even replaced by a Bot.
Nintendo doesn't make the slightest effort with respect to Artificial Intelligence. Which Nintendo game has good Artificial Intelligence? Now I am curious. I'm trying to think of one.
Re: Splatoon 3 'Sizzle Season 2023' Update Revealed - New Weapons, Stages, Game Modes And More
No offline (all game modes) versus Bots.
Ok, I won´t buy Splatoon 3.

Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
@BinaryMessiah i play since 1981. I have now 38 consoles, 4000+ games. ALL generations.I' ve never paid $70 in a game. And I won't. I paid $60 for 3 or 4 games. In my country games are cheaper (not Nintendo, all of the other companies sells cheaper here). For example. In 80´s A Master System 3d game (the most expensive games here....to use pistol and 3d glasses) was about R.30,00. In 90s Guardian Heroes (Sega Saturn) was R.90,00, Final fantasy VII (Playstation) was R.90,00 and Mario Kart 64 (Nintendo 64) was R.120,00. Today, Elden Ring is R.140,00 (Steam), and Pokemon Sword is R.350,00 - R.400,00 ( !!! R.350 = $70)....New Zelda is R.440,00 ($80+).....but a Xbox Series S/x game is about R.230,00...The Witcher 3, on Steam, is R.19,00 ($3,8)....The most expensive game I paid last 5 years using my own money (not a gift) was Dragonball Fighter Z + all DLC..it was R.280,00 ($55 Steam)....on Switch its about R.450,00 ($90).
There are games that I don't think are worth it. If I feel like playing a Metroidvania, why would I buy METROID DREAD for $60 (here this game is R.350.00...$70,00), a game that lasts 10-15 hours of content....if I can buy HOLLOW KNIGHT complete edition, with over 150 hours of content...for $4 (here this game is R.20.00 on Steam and R.40.00 / $8 on sale on Switch). That is, I bought Hollow Knight and I did not and will NEVER buy Metroid Dread.
For me, it's not worth $60. It doesn't matter to me who did it, how many people were involved. I applaud the developers of Hollow Knight. I'm not loyal to any brand, and I don't care about details that I shouldn't care about. I'm the customer, I only care about the final product and the price. Just it. And neither should I.
I shouldn't care about anything else. The marketing, the message, this "additional value" created by advertising pieces, and the development of "love for brands" that companies do. This doesn't hook me. I am immune to this type of marketing strategy. I don´t have any love for any brand. I have love for me and myself. My favorite game company today is Aksys (Blazblue, Guilty Gear, Dragonball Fighter Z, Undernight, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, Blazing Strike, DNF Duels, Melty Blood...etc...). I love fighting games (i play tournaments)...but no fighting game costs $70 here. Street Fighter 6 is $55 here (this is the most expensive fighting game here..I paid $6 for Guilty Gear Strive, the best fighting game nowadays...more than 400 hours of gameplay i have...and going...)...I paid about $30 for Soulcalibur VI (my best game ever) including all DLC. I ´d never pay $60 or $70 for these games. I´d never pay $60 or $70 for nintendo games too.

I only wrote this because Nintendo itself, at the beginning of Nintendo Switch in an interview said that creating 1080 HD games was much more expensive than creating games for Wii U and Wii.
The technical reasons for Nintendo to say this I don't know.
The only thing I know is that I already bought games more expensive than Zelda to be produced, like Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA V, for $22 and $8 on Steam, in my country. And I will never, ever, in my entire life, give $70 to Nintendo for a game. No game deserves $70 in my opinion. I have a lot of options and Nintendo is not even my favorite game producer. From Nintendo a like: Advance Wars, Mario Kart, Warioware and Smash Bros franchise only. I´ll never pay $60 for these games. I'm not even going to pay $60 for Advance Wars 1 + 2 because I also don't think that game is worth that much. I will continue playing the GBA versions that are the same.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (May 13th)
I dont like Zelda games.
This Weekend will be perfect. We have Street Fighter Tournament here. The best moment i like!!
And...Celeste...I have 100% side A and B on Steam. I am doing It again on Switch.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
@johnvboy I only buy digital.
I have only 3 physical copies: Clubhouse Games 51, Smash bros Ultimate and Just Dance 2021.
The 3 games came from another country. These games were a gift.
I don't like getting up to change a cartridge. These 3 games work like this for me. The one I leave on the switch will stay for 6...10 months...because I don't have the patience to change it. Now it´s the Smash Bros time. But it was Clubhouse 51 for a whole year.
I'm used to Steam, which is where I play the most. I click on the game and play. No need to change the cartridge is much better, faster. Game Pass...the same. Much better.
Do not get me wrong. I used to be a collector, I have more than 4000 physical games here, but all for old consoles. These days, I don't have the slightest bit of patience. I don't attach the slightest value to this.
Digital should be cheaper, not this expensive. Steam is the best way to buy a game. There is no justification even on the part of Nintendo that convinces me.
Zelda isn't even at 1080. I think many people here know that the production cost increases for a 4k game, for example. Nintendo is very greedy. It tries to use as many assets as possible from previous games, and uses marketing gimmicks to create "additional value" that doesn't exist. It's artificial. Unfortunately, this "additional value" populates the minds of many passive people.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
@johnvboy The price is something to be highlighted so that it doesn't become a common Nintendo practice with other franchises.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
@KevinP If you see me commenting on various news, it's because you also read all the news. If I participate in all of them, it's natural that I will comment on news about subjects I like more and others I like less.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
@Crockin nobody cares about your opinion either. Nobody cares about anybody. And it is correct. Nobody should care about anyone else's opinion. Still, everyone can give their opinion, regardless of whether anyone cares!
Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
@Mgalens The important thing is to have fun! Probably, if you reviewed the games I like, you would rate them low. For me, Street Fighter IV is 10/10. For you it might be 6/10. And I would probably give low ratings to games you like.
Everyone would be right, because what amuses one person may not amused another.
Then I ask...
Should a fighting game only be reviewed by a fighting game expert?
Can a Shmup game only be reviewed by a shmup specialist?
Could a zelda only be analyzed by a 3D adventure specialist?
If so, every website or magazine will need many more employees!
If magazines and websites have few employees, and not specialists in each style of game...the tendency is for games in the genres they like the most, to receive higher marks.....isn't it?
Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
@Rambler @Rambler In a game, for me, I need to be competing against another human being or against a GREAT artificial intelligence. With well-defined rules.
Besides liking strategy games, where I feel like I'm competing against an artificial intelligence turn by turn (not jRPG, something more XCOM, Civilization...), and fighting games, and some sports games, curiously I don't like FPS games.....but I like Shmups...(not Bullet Hell). Bullet Hell are predefined patterns. No matter where you fly your ship, the shots will follow the same pattern. I find it very boring. I don't feel "competing". I like Shmups like Raiden...because the enemy's shooting patterns will chase you, so the game's intelligence will react to the choices and maneuvers I make with my ship. It's visceral, it's non-stop action, fast strategy and pure joystick skill. This entertains me.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
@Mgalens @Rambler It's cool that there are different player profiles.
I would not, for example, be the right person to review Zelda.
I would give it a low rating because this game makes me sleepy.
It's nice that different people value different aspects.
I don't have the slightest patience to "explore" a virtual scenario". I don't play to be immersed in a virtual world.
I am a very reality focused person. I'm not looking for any escapism. I hate escapism. I play for sport.
That's why I like sports-oriented games, like Fighting Games, Rocket League, Windjammers, or strategy games, like Chess.
Not because of the plot, because I skip every dialogue in every game.
I just want the sport at times that I can't practice in person.
The gamer universe has something for everyone, doesn't it?
Re: Nintendo's Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom TV Ad Might Be Its Best One Ever
I thought the message was cool....but the speed of this game seems so slow....imagine me flying in slow motion for 5 minutes in the air...in a game! To admire a virtual landscape? This to me is a waste of time. Very annoying! I need a LOT more action than this!
Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
@Rambler Honestly, one of the things that interests me least in a game is the artistic part. I am almost exclusively interested in the gameplay.
I'm not interested in history, art, none of that.
I'm interested in good artificial intelligence capable of attacking my character in completely intelligent ways that I need to overcome with skill, intelligence, and quick thinking.
An example? Ninja Gaiden Black. An enemy will never attack you the same way. They react to your behavior...they give up on one strategy and come up with another, sometimes collectively.
Zelda's enemies always do the exact same thing. It has no intelligence. This bothers me a lot.
I don't care about the art... if Link were a duck, but with the same gameplay, it would still be the same for me.
If Hayabusa (Ninja Gaiden) was a wooden box, but with that gameplay, I would still think the same thing!
Walking around a virtual scenario back and forth with nothing happening... just to admire the landscape? No. This makes me sleepy! If I play a game and I have to walk for 1 minute in a virtual scenario with absolutely NOTHING happening, it makes me extremely bored.
I don't care about the background... if I'm in a forest, in a castle, this is completely irrelevant to me, if I don't have an artificial intelligence demanding of me.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
I don´t care about Zelda. I don´t have fun playing this franchise. Sorry.
I've tried to like it, but I can't. I think this type of game is not for me. I hope everyone who likes it has fun level $70!

Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong No Longer Releasing In The First Half Of 2023
It is very difficult for the producer to overcome the first game, Hollow Knight, the game that is the king of Metroidvanias, surpassing (AND A LOT) the creators of the genre, Castlevania and Metroid. If they manage to overcome Hollow Knight...it will be a historic feat!
Hollow Knight has sold 6.5 million copies on Steam alone.
This game deserves respect! No game in this genre has sold this much!

Re: Review: Super Dungeon Maker - A Promising 'Zelda Maker' That Needs More Time In The Oven
@Serpenterror i don´t like to play this way on the bed.
I prefer to lie on my side and have my arms free. Then I rest the switch on the bed and use the Touchscreen.
As many small publishers put the Touchscreen option in their strategy games, I find it outrageous that Nintendo does not put this option in a First Party FULL PRICE $60 game, the touchscreen being one of the advantages of Nintendo's own hardware.
This is just one of the reasons why I won't be buying Advance Wars 1+2.
I will only buy a Nintendo game when it has enough content for the price Nintendo charges.
I don't like every genre of game out there. So, until today, for Switch, from Nintendo I only bought warioware, mario kart 8 and super smash bros ultimate.
I bought Nintendo Switch Sports too, but I regretted it, as this game has very little content for the price charged.
I don't like adventure games, so I don't play Zelda, Mario, Donkey Kong, Kirby, Yoshi, Metroid, Pokemon, so I can't comment on those.
But I like strategy, but Advance Wars 1 + 2 is a disappointment for me.
Re: Review: Super Dungeon Maker - A Promising 'Zelda Maker' That Needs More Time In The Oven
@Serpenterror i play on the bed, before sleeping, and it's more comfortable to rest the switch on the bed, and use the touchscreen. This is how I play Into the Breach, a strategy game like Advance Wars. This is how I play Steamworld Heist (strategy game), Dicey Dungeons (strategy game), Slay the Spire (card strategy game)...Clubhouse Games 51 (board and strategy games). I really miss the touchscreen in Advance Wars 1+2. I dont play non-touchscreen games on the bed. My neck hurts.
Re: Review: Super Dungeon Maker - A Promising 'Zelda Maker' That Needs More Time In The Oven
No touch controls is really bad.
With Advance Wars 1+2 as well. It's horrible that game doesn't have touch control. But, for Advance Wars 1 + 2 game, Nintendolife didn't consider that as a con. Why?
Re: Video: 7 Exciting New Games Coming To Nintendo Switch In May 2023

Re: Poll: One Year On, What Other Events Should Be Added To Nintendo Switch Sports?
@Nintendo_Thumb When I wrote about difficulties online on the Nintendo Switch, it wasn't specifically about the Nintendo Switch Sport game. Surprisingly, the top 4 games for meeting people online are: Just Dance, Mario Kart 8, Nintendo Switch Sport, Rocket League. They work like a rhodisium. These, among the ones I played, stood out.
But other games are hard to play with people on my friends list (whom I don't know personally). You have to make an appointment... go to Discord... remember the person's nickname on the Switch... hope the person is online (its impossible to know if people are online on the Switch, only if they're playing a game. Hardly anyone who's already is playing, will exit the game to play another game with you).
Difficulties like this do not exist on other consoles or on Steam. On Steam, other players don't even need to own the game or a gaming pc to play with you. I take a game that only I have, I see the list of people who are waiting for invitations to play, I send them a link to my game and they can play with me from a simple pc, steam deck, a tablet/ipad, a smartphone or even mirrored on the TV. Just have a bluetooth controller like the xbox. They don't even need to install. Just click on the link and you're already playing with me, with or without voice chat. (I don't like voice chat, I prefer typing).
How is it possible to chat with these people, if the person wants to play, but can't at that moment, the person can ask me if I can wait, 5...10 minutes to get ready to play with me. Communication is key.
I wanted to ask you a question. I see you have the Arms game. Do you think it's worth $60? I see you've only played it for 15 hours. Is the game worth it? I played the demo, I liked it, but I didn't think it was worth $60, so I didn't buy it.
Re: Poll: One Year On, What Other Events Should Be Added To Nintendo Switch Sports?
@Nintendo_Thumb Hello. Honestly, I'm enjoying this conversation, even though we have very different thoughts.
I buy a lot of games, accessories and consoles. I collect. I have about 40 video games and many accessories. It's part of the hobby. And yes, I can't play all the games for so many hours. Only favorites is that I have 1000+ hours like Dirt Rally, Gears 5, Tekken 7 and Street Fighter.
Adding all this up is something like $6000/yr. This year, a good part of this amount was used to complete two cockpits with Fanatec accessories, one for my PC gamer and one for my wife's PC gamer. But I didn't say that to brag. It's just a gamer-to-gamer chat. I've been at this for over 40 years.
About Nintendo Switch Sports, I did know what to expect. However, buying on day-1, I imagined that, at least within each sport, there would be more variation. At wii sports resort, for example, there were more bowling options, such as the 100-pin challenge. Even Kinect Sports had more variation and it was also possible to play online.
Nintendo, in its sports games, included the online, but left the games with little content. Does not deserve their prices. Can't deny it.
I like value for money. I was on NSO for 1 year and hardly used it. I don't know anyone who has the Switch, except for my sister, who lives in another country and hardly ever plays.
Playing with unknown people online on Switch is not practical. On Steam it's very quick and simple. On Switch, you have to look for a discord, schedule an appointment..exchange codes…and hope that the person be online the same time that you (but you can not see online people waiting for invites, only playing people on Switch)…..usually people have different nicknames on Discord and Switch…..for me it's impractical. I like the simple thing, because I have many options available for me to play. I don't like to be kept waiting.
I don't like playing old games, I never played any SNES and NES games on my NSO subscription. They don't amuse me anymore, I played a lot when I was a teenager. I have almost all these games on their original consoles. These games no longer mean anything to me. The quality of online multiplayer and connection leaves a lot to be desired on Switch compared to Steam. ’ So I didn’t, and I probably won’t.
I must have about 40 games, backlog, between Steam and Switch right now.
If I like a game a lot, I dedicate myself to it a lot. This usually happens with sports, card games, shmups, racing and fighting games.
Unfortunately, I didn't see a lot of content to devote to Mario's sports games. They didn't entertain me much, and since I don't know anyone who likes those games, I have no one to play with. So these games are currently dead to me.
You are the first one I know with Nintendo Switch Sports. I'm not ranked, obviously. And it doesn't matter if I lose all the games, who knows, maybe this doesn't change my view of the game and I start to think that it was worth $39 in it...for the amount of content it offers? In soccer I don't need the strap to use my legs, because I use the just dance strap, which is the same.
Let's play... the point of being here, after all, is to play. My nickname is Deh. I'm adding you.
***I have 4 hours playing Nintendo Switch Sports. I haven't booted the game in a long time. I just saw now.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom File Size Seemingly Revealed For Switch
@Deviant-Dork i dont think this away, really, but i understand your point. Do not agree. Nintendo is not more important for me than any other company..only more arrogant and less pro-consumer.
Re: Poll: One Year On, What Other Events Should Be Added To Nintendo Switch Sports?
@Nintendo_Thumb I used to love Wii Sports Resort. Here It shows 5 hours on my Switch. It may be longer than that, but it doesn't matter. I've seen everything the game has to offer. I played online these hours, several sports and the gameplay is obvious and simple. There isn't much to learn. It's super easy and limited. Kinect Sports has more depth than Nintendo Switch Sports. As soon as my NSO ran out... I played it once or twice with my wife's friends' kids and never again. I buy about $6000 worth of games a year. mostly for Steam, which is my main gaming system. I usually make little mistakes in the games I buy. For Switch, I only got it wrong with Nintendo Sports and MotoGP2018. On Steam I only messed up with Nights into Dreams and Race Arcade. Can't get them all right. At least the day kids come to visit my house... I play Nintendo Switch Sports for them. I still have 7 free days of NSO (i ve never used it). Want to play Nintendo Switch Sports with me online? I feel Wii sports resort much better and more complete than this game...but we can try to play it online...if you want...the game has not much content...but what it has is so-so near Wii sports resort. My wii sports resort memories is why i bought this game for switch. And..7 games should be enough..but not..cause you dont have much content inside each game. Probably you will win when you play with me (190 hours...)
Re: UK Charts: Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp Tumbles Out Of The Top Ten
@silverdamascus I have both. Trilogy and 4. I prefer Crash than any Mario 3D game. The game is hard to do 100%. So many things to do. I prefer Trilogy cause you have 3 games and its cheaper than Crash 4. Crash 4 is great. I feel that Trilogy is better cause you get more content for your investment.
Re: Poll: One Year On, What Other Events Should Be Added To Nintendo Switch Sports?
It is legitimate for people to question the content of this and other Nintendo sports games.
Nintendo, over the years, has been incorporating more content into its games.
However, in this generation, especially sports games, came with much less content.
When people have a perception of low value in relation to the purchased product, they tend to complain (rightly so). Vampire Survivors has too many content for its price tag. That’s the gamer perception. Nintendo Switch Sports not.
Most people who have bought a Switch, have other video games as well, play them on Steam as well. Nintendo is not the only gamer culture for most people.
I dare say that Nintendo's extremely loyal audience is slightly smaller than the audience that bought the Wii U (and would buy any Nintendo video game with their eyes closed). It's just a guess, of course.
All other gamers, especially in this generation, are used to talking to game developers on Discord, and getting into discussions for game improvement. And the vast majority of companies respond to their audience and improve their games over time.
Gamers who ask for DLC for Nintendo Switch Sports are already used to this dynamic of game producers, of improving their products over time, and embedding more after-sales content.
Every Nintendo release, Nintendo uses aggressive marketing gimmicks, which include posts on social networks (digital marketing), specialized press and direct marketing. Euphoria is created among players (sometimes artificially, just to get impulse sales), and euphoria generates expectations.
So the game sells, however, when playing, the player thinks that the content offered does not match his expectations, many of which are generated by the euphoria of websites like this one.
One of the most plausible solutions is to put more content via DLC. We are all used to this from other companies.
Nintendo is losing contact with its public and this communication is becoming more and more artificial. Of course, the company sells well, as it invests a lot in marketing. With Pokemon, for example, news came out and the marketing budget exceeded the budget to create the game.
Anyway, Nintendo will probably not release a DLC for this game, and players have the right to be frustrated with this distancing from Nintendo, unlike other companies.
Asking for more content, since the perception of value for the price invested is low, asking for DLC in a discussion forum is legitimate and should not be questioned. Other companies makes more for you than Nintendo.
I have Nintendo Switch Sports. I played only 5 hours. I think this game begs for more content. It has fewer options and game modes (within each sport) than the last game in the series. The formula runs out very quickly. If this game were from another company, this game would certainly have more after-sales content. But…Nintendo….lives in their own bubble. This is not a reason to be proud. The company makes a profit, but so what? And I agree with you, soccer is terrible in this game.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom File Size Seemingly Revealed For Switch
@contractcooker but again. Lower prices = more Sales. More New players tasting Nintendo games. Probably more fan base.
Nintendo is greedy. Nintendo can be greedy. And Nintendo is greedier than the others anyway. We can not put Nintendo, Microsoft or Sony inside the same nest here.
Example. There are people who are arrogant. But some can be arrogant, because they won in life in an epic way. They shouldn't be arrogant, but they exercise the right to be. And at the end of the day, yes, they are arrogant. Nintendo is greedy. And we can call Nintendo greedy.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom File Size Seemingly Revealed For Switch
@contractcooker i think Nintendo is greedier.
Forza Horizon 5 was a huge sucess and was on sale 1 month after launch on Steam and Xbox. For example.
The games are much cheaper overtime. Microsoft's Forza Horizon 4 is $16 on Steam here (today). Nintendo charges $50..$60 and rarely $40 for old games. For example. Killer Instinct for $4 on Steam...Sea of Thieves (with a Lot of FREE New content) $8 here today...Ori for $5. Halo Master Collection for $15.
If these games were nintendo's games..It would still be $50..$60 games.
Re: Poll: One Year On, What Other Events Should Be Added To Nintendo Switch Sports?
@Nintendo_Thumb Yes, so many games receive more content...including Forza. Every week I receive Steam alert that some Steam games i have are receiving more content. Usually for free or cheap DLC. Thats the usual. The most recent was Vampire Survivors (for $0,42 here). Maybe you only play Nintendo and Sony games.
Pummel Party, the "Steam Mario Party"...has New free boards and minigames EVERY year (for free). And now people can create content and share in this game. Some improovements over the original game:
And Nintendo does not have New content for Mario Party....
Conclusion:
I have 10 hours playing Maio Party Superstars.
I have 56 hours playing Pummel Party.
Yes...Nintendo Switch Sports needs more content tô deserve $39.
Pummel Party is $5 on sale here. And this game is better than Mario Party Superstars $60. And its getting better each New year. The minigames are great. Nintendo is $$lazy$$...Nintendo put the money on marketing than the fanboys.
Re: UK Charts: Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp Tumbles Out Of The Top Ten
@MeatSauce in 2004 we had $30 GBA Advance Wars 1 + 2 compilation.
Spyro the Dragon Trilogy (3 remakes with much more new assets with full dub in so many languages) = $39,90 ($19,90 on sale and $8 on Steam sale here). (The original games were more expensive).
Advance Wars 1 + 2(2 remakes, much less new assets than Spyro Trilogy) = $60
Makes no sense for me.
I wont pay $60 for that.
Re: UK Charts: Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp Tumbles Out Of The Top Ten
Niche games = the same small number of players, who played the original games, will play the new one.
But...
The "new one" is absolutely the SAME old games using new (ugly) assets.
Niche games need NEW versions of the game. Not the same games.
Makes no sense.
Nintendo thinks that the player needs to pay full price (again) to play the absolutely same game over and over and over. Not me. Lazy.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom File Size Seemingly Revealed For Switch
4k assets > 900p (-) assets. If Zelda was 4k..it would be 50gb(+).

The difference? Switch poor resolution.
Re: 'The Lara Croft Collection' For Switch Has Been Rated By The ESRB

Re: 'The Lara Croft Collection' For Switch Has Been Rated By The ESRB

Re: Poll: One Year On, What Other Events Should Be Added To Nintendo Switch Sports?
@Dev9417 This game has virtually no offline content. I have not renewed the NSO and will never renew. The service is horrible. So I can't even unlock items on Nintendo Switch Sports.
I only pay NSO again if Nintendo copies Steam and allows us to see WHO IS ONLINE WITHOUT PLAYING A GAME, so that I can invite someone who is idle and waiting to play with someone else. Just like on Steam, it should be possible to invite any friend online to play. As long as that doesn't happen, I don't care about NSO's existence.
