Re: Poll: So, What Did You Think Of The Switch 2 Reveal?

Rykdrew

@the_beaver We've spent our entire lives, with every Nintendo console release, reading comments about how creative this company was. And when it wasn't, the discourse changed to "ok, it's just a console to play games". I don't agree. Nor do I disagree with anyone who criticizes this point. I think it's a valid argument.

Re: Poll: So, What Did You Think Of The Switch 2 Reveal?

What did I think of this presentation?

Nothing.

Because nothing really relevant was presented.

  • Bigger screen... hmm
  • Joycon as a Mouse = I'll never use this, because 90% of my time is spent playing in handheld mode, and the other 10% on the couch, where I have no place to rest a mouse.
  • A game shown for 10 seconds that meant absolutely nothing to me.
  • This time...Are there pressure sensitive triggers to play racing games better, like the Xbox controller? I don´t know...Hmmm

So that's what I think of this presentation. Nothing.

Is this option available?

Re: Japanese Charts: Super Mario Party Jamboree Surpasses 1 Million Units Sold

Echoes of Wisdom is actually selling better than the Japanese release of Link's Awakeing, because the obvious:

  • Links Awakening (September 2019, there was 41,67 millions Nitnendo Switch sold)
  • Echoes of Wisdom (September 2024, there are 146 millions of Nintendo Switch sold now)

Obvious Echoes of Wisdom outsold Links Awakening.

But these numbers are low the same way.

On Switch:

  • Circuit Superstars: 4th Championship. Wonderful Top Down Racing Game (I have it on Steam & Switch)
  • Ultimate Racing 2D 2: First Season (I have 100% achievements on the first game, on Steam)
  • Ori and the Blind Forest: I think I´m on the final part of this wonderful game.
  • Undernight in-Birth sys: Celes: playing a lot with the friends and wife. My wife is great in fighting games.
    Both she and I participated in several local tournaments and also outside the country.

Re: Nintendo Breaks Silence On 'Switch 2' Image And Video Leaks

Rykdrew

It's obvious.

Nintendo itself is leaking this information.

It's all an authorized marketing ploy.

And it's smart.

Nintendo failed with the Wii U because, although both the Wii and Wii U are similar in some aspects, people got confused by the marketing communication about the new controller. There was a gap between Nintendo's communication and the public's perception.

This time, Nintendo is leaving the Switch 1, a huge success (as was the Wii), for a new console.

Now it is contractually allowing orchestrated leaks in the marketing labs, so that this goes viral and people have absolutely no doubt about the Switch 2. Even the name of the new console "Switch 2" is to leave no room for doubt among the public.

It's pretty obvious. But people like these little mystery games behind the launch of the new console.

It's part of the magic. A magic planned by marketing, of course. It´s not organic.

Re: Talking Point: Is The Switch 2 Going To Be Too Big?

Rykdrew

Will everyone who called the Steam Deck "too big" say that the Switch 2 is "too big", or that the size of the Switch 2 is good?

I have both, Steam Deck and Switch. I like both. Both are great. But, the main criticism of the Steam deck was its size. I hope that the people who said this about the Steam deck have evolved their ideas about the console.

Re: Random: "The Time Players Spend In A Game Is A Cost" - Sakurai Talks Long Runtimes

I don't pay $60 for 15 hours games. No Mario Wonder, No Astrobot, NEVER.

I pay $10 for 300 hours games like Enter the Gungeon, Balatro, Brotato...

This kind of game you can play forever or play 10 minutes one day, 15 minutes another day....and keep going with a lot of content and replayability. I have 35 hours playing Brotato in two weeks. And i see 5% of this game or less (finishes with all characters unlocking 5-difficult levels with more characteristics and challenges in the middle of the gameplay, with every character.....i think this game has 54 characters...with different gameplays and strategies).

I pay $60 for Mario Tennis Aces, Mario Golf, Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Mrio Strikers, cause this kind of game is competitive..and i can play forever.

But i won't never play a Mario 2d/3d game twice. I play....finished? Never more. I prefer rogue-like games that you finished and play again, but the game will be different every time. Metroid Dread, Mario Wonder....its aways the same. I dont have patience to play again and again the exactly same levels...So, these games for me....are like $10 ..$15...games...
