Interesting, may have to try the no music thing for a more horror filled vibe closer to Halloween!
I think the Doom 1 and 2 releases on modern platforms are some of the best value in gaming. They each cost me 3 quid or something and just keep getting more free content and improvements.
I don't think he realises that "this very successful launch isn't quite as successful as the previous hugely successful Nintendo game launch" isn't the dig he thinks it is.
But considering the gibberish he was talking in the UK charts article I'm not surprised.
Link's Awakening was also a highly desired remake sought after for years and Echos is a new title announced just a few months ago.
Also sales possibly affected by people not being happy with the framerate issues that plagued Link's Awakening so holding off on Echo's til Switch 2 arrives.
Nah the Switch Up duo are trustworthy. They have no issue pointing out flaws even in promotional videos and one of their best features is they go back and review patched up games to see if there has been any significant improvement.
Easily the best Switch focused channel on Youtube for me.

Re: UK Charts: Mario Party Jamboree Hangs Tight As We Roll Into The Holiday Season
Lego Horizon didn't hang around did it?
That would have been an interesting split to see but I guess zero into two is still zero.
Re: Opinion: Nintendo Needs To Let Us Block The Crap On Switch 2's eShop
I find the search options on Switch eshop more robust than Xbox or PS but the lag absolutely kills it.
Don't care about user reviews, something is either the best thing ever or the worst and ergo completely useless.
Re: Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP Teases A Sweet Frame Rate Update For Switch
Wow a whole 2 months?! After release?!
You are really spoiling us!
The framerate is still an unlocked mess in that clip with most of it under 30fps.
Big whoop.

Yes if anything it is a boon for NSO.
Re: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door On Switch Has Already Outsold The GameCube Original
@the_beaver
I noticed it from the very first trailer.
I'll wait to see if there is a Switch 2 patch.
Re: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door On Switch Has Already Outsold The GameCube Original
No 60fps, no purchase.
I'm simply not buying a remaster that performs worse than the original.

Think it is called Kannon's Klanking here.
Re: 'Nintendo Music' Update Adds Classic SNES Soundtrack, Here's Every Song Included
Better hope Vangelis don't listen to this one.
Nintendo might get a taste of their own medicine!
Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis Of Sonic X Shadow Generations
Well that sub title was certainly cherry picked.
Re: 'Nintendo Music' Is A New Mobile App Exclusive To Switch Online Members
I'm in.
Also unlike PS Plus or Game Pass, NSO actually offers things not otherwise available whilst being much cheaper.
That's how you do it.
OK this app is actually BLOODY BRILLIANT!

Re: Switch Online's "Mature" N64 App Expands With Two More Games
@Rooty
Whole heartedly disagree.
Re: Switch Online's "Mature" N64 App Expands With Two More Games
I'll just stick to the excellent Night Dive remasters.
Here is an idea Nintendo, give Night Dive access to the entire N64 catalogue of games (including first party) for the remaster treatment. Easy money.

Re: Anniversary: 8 Years Since Nintendo Unveiled Switch, The World Awaits The Next Reveal
@Euler
There is no way it isn't coming before 2026.
Re: Anniversary: 8 Years Since Nintendo Unveiled Switch, The World Awaits The Next Reveal
Iconic trailer.
They conveyed in one 4 minute video what the Switch was entirely.
In a full E3 event Nintendo couldn't explain what the Wii U was and even after.
I still don't expect a Swtich 2 reveal until the new year as Nintendo can make a lot of money with a final push for the Switch this Christmas.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's N64 Library Next Week
There are still two major problems with the Switch online catalogue.
1. They need to provide an option to get rid of thoss awful side borders on all games.
2. Customisable controls for each individual game ala Wii U.
Surely these are not that hard to implement?
P.S. And give me Diddy Kong Racing already!

Leaves a seriously bad taste in the mouth but as you say Nintendo are limited in what they can do to stop it.

The last update quietened it significantly.

Re: Nintendo Slays Switch Emulator Ryujinx
As always with stories like this my view is this:
Use emulators to get new games for free then you are a dirty scumbag thief.
Use emulators to play games you bought legitimately just in a better way for you then fine.
Use emulators to play clasics games not otherwise availabe on modern platforms then also fine.

Re: UK Charts: Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom Can't Quite Beat The Might Of EA Sports FC 25

Suggest you have another look at the chart and see the breakdown of sales and which company has the most first party titles in there.
I count 2 for Sony.

Re: Japanese Charts: Switch Dominates As PS5 Price Hike Kills Momentum
Poor Astro Bot deserves much better.
Even factoring in digital sales, 12 thousand sales on a console with a 5 million user base is terrible.

I just can't see them revealing the Switch successor before Christmas.
They did it with Switch because Wii U was already dead in the water but Switch will still have a good last push this Christmas.
I think Feb reveal, May release.

Re: World Of Goo 2 Switch Update Now Live - New Pro Controller Feature, Fixes And More
Begs the question why it wasn't implemented at the start.
Surely they would have known people would want the option before release?
Re: Capcom Wants To Revive All Of Its Legacy Fighting Games On Modern Platforms
Alpha Anthology please.
Superior to the arcade versions on the 30th Anniversary Collection.
