@Munchlax With all the patches I'd say "rare crashes". Most crashes I got were when base-building, so I learned to be extra careful saving when doing that.
For me I feel it runs pretty well nearly all the time, to the point I'd definitely still encourage people to go ahead with the Switch version.
I think "important catch" is ridiculous. Nintendo is taking the most efficient approach to avoid contributing to a horrible problem. Nintendo has no responsibility to improve this issue in other countries. Not sure how buying from others in the same country would help anyway; a lack of sale is a lack of a sale, whether they bought from the competitor down the street or from one across the world. The "ideal" approach would be for a country's own people and government to crack down on such activities.
I've really been enjoying this game, scratches the BotW itch, but I think I have enough to play that I don't need to extend this game's lifetime to tide me over until the Sequel.
I don't really interact with Xbox, and all Playstation controlers have been pretty much the same, so it is with a lot of ease that my mind goes from X&O on a Playstation to b&a on anything else I have, which is basically always a Nintendo.
My biggest problem with the direction of the remakes is not the "chibi" (though I don't like that either), but rather an unsettling change in remake philosophy: moving from "reimagine the past generation as if it was made in the current generation" to "just copy-paste the past game with some better graphics for the nostalgia cash-in"
Every other remake brought the past games up to the current era's standards; why does it look like we went back a few generations? I wanted to see Sinnoh reimagined like Sword and Shield.
As funny as this is, I doubt it is of any real help to anyone. Some rich people will lose a lot of money, a lot of normal people's retirement will take a hit, and ultimately the majority of these redditors will lose their money for a meme.
@RandomAfricanGamer That is kind of a silly assumption. What is the more likely scienero? 1) That the actor who improvised it purposely improvised a joke to bring down his own ethnicity, and then the movie studio purposely included it to bring down the group that makes up a huge portion of their market? 2) Or that a shallow action movie added in a stupid pun, just like all the other stupid puns in all the other shallow action movies?
Maybe you can't bring yourself to think the odds of #1 is 0%, but surely it is far lower than #2?
"We should have researched the historical origin of it and that’s 100 per cent on us"
I feel like this is an unrealistic sense of responsibility. Every possibly joke, pun, or sentence could potentially have some sort of relevance contrived or drawn to SOMETHING, from SOMEWHERE at SOMETIME that was once offensive. How far do the rules go?
I've been looking forward to this for a year and a half, but I think what I really want is more likely to be found in the surprise announcement and release of The Long Dark.
I know "Steve?" isn't really a great "character", but he represents a great and massive game, includes a more iconic character in Enderman, and has a very unique way of functioning. I applaud Sakurai so much for reworking the entire game to add in such a unique character.
This game looked really promising. Exploration, combat, world, story, characters, it had it all. A potential meaty experience, but then I learned it was free-to-play, and I can't imagine how it is actually going to be good.
I hope to be wrong, since it's free it is worth a try, but I can't imagine how a Breath-of-the-Wild-experiance could work with ANY amount of microtransactions muddling the experience. I'd rather just buy the game so the monetization doesn't interfere with the gameplay.
@Yanina The only thing worse than vital story and lore being put into a rhythm game, is mixing that vital story and lore into tons of flashbacks and recaps.
I've been honestly loving this game so far, but it is missing that little extra that would make it one of my all-time favorites.
I'll get my fill of my enjoyment from these 5 chapters, but part of me laments the missed opportunity of a large unified map with more varied and organic feeling locations, landmarks, and progression.
As it has been 3 months from the last mini, 10 months from the full direct, and there is approximately 0 offerings from Nintendo for the rest of the year and no big holiday title, I can't say this was all that exciting, though just having nothing I am personally interested in of course contributes to that.
At this point I just have that disheartening feeling that Nintendo truly has nothing else for 2020 or early 2021, which is not a good position to be in.
I love the Kingdom Hearts Music, and I wanted a Kingdom Hearts Theatrythm for some time. I'd rather have a real Kingdom Hearts game, and my first impressions are disappointing compared to the Theatrythm gameplay, but this could be promising.
I was completely hooked on Pirate's Curse, but could not nearly get into any of the other games in the series due to the transformations. They could never achieve the synergy and wide-spread utility of the items in Pirate's Curse, so the adjustments to the transformations will have me taking a much closer look.
I've really loved playing Civ VI on the Switch, so I'll definitely be grabbing this. I didn't realized that this was actually going to be available for consoles.
I can understand the sentiment "Let others play the way they want to", though I have the same opinion here as I do in Pokemon. For a game that involves trading amongst players, cheating in any way undermines the game for everyone. Everything in the "Animal Crossing economy" has completely artificial value, but that is undermined if someone plays several weeks of the stalk market in a day, or dups a rare item, or fast forwards for golden tools. That person really shouldn't participate in community economic events with those advantages.
This pisses me off to be honest. It isn't like these are huge events that need to be secret, and it is incredibly likely that I won't have an internet connection for my Switch on the days for these events.

Re: There's A Zelda Game & Watch Coming This Christmas
VERMIN?! Nintendo, did you forget there was already a Zelda game & Watch game perfect for this?!
Re: Among Us To Add New Mode, Roles, Map And More
Sounds like promising addition. If it came with some friends then it would be perfect for me!
Re: Balan Wonderworld Is Getting A Suspicious Amount Of 10/10 Metacritic User Reviews

You finally got me with Mario+Rabbids. Been eyeing it whenever it came down to $20 and passed it up, but now you've got me.

Re: Immortals Fenyx Rising's First DLC Expansion Launches Today
Not sure how DLC 2 & 3 will work with completely new characters. If we're starting over it feels like we're just being sold small new games.

I've been VERY eagerly awaiting these games; really hoping it isn't too much longer.
Re: Surprise! Among Us Is Getting Sus On Switch Later Today
Typing on Switch will be easier than on my phone, but if they could add some voice chat, even if it was through the app, I'd be greatly relieved.

Re: New Restrictions Placed On Time Travel In Animal Crossing: New Horizons
How can the game even tell the difference between the clock being skipped forward and it being the actual day in reality?
Re: Square Enix Is Teasing Something Related To The World Ends With You (Again)
I hope it is Kingdom Hearts: the Reaper's Game.
Or Neku in Smash Bros., but that is too much to hope for.

I'm excited for it! Like Genshin Impact without the microtransactions.
Re: Moon Studios Would "Love" To See Ori In Smash Bros. Ultimate, Tells Fans To Tweet Head Of Xbox About It

Still, it was always unlikely and this late into the game there is no way they will get in if it wasn't already decided.

I don't have any sort of feeling as to who it could be and that makes me very anxious.
Re: Exploration-Survival Game The Long Dark Is Available On Switch Right Now
This was a pleasant surprise I'll definitely be picking up.
Re: Random: We Sure Hope This Game & Watch Mock-Up Is What Nintendo Has Planned For Zelda's 35th Next Year
I'd buy this one. They would HAVE to add the Zelda game and watch game too!

@jimtendog I know! Just imagine playing a game as huge as Breath of the Wild on the go!

Re: Review: Windbound - A Surprisingly Chill Survival Epic That Owes A Debt To Zelda
@daebiya Funnily enough this game (among MANY other games) came on my radar due to similarities to Flame in the Flood. I love that game.
Re: Review: Windbound - A Surprisingly Chill Survival Epic That Owes A Debt To Zelda
@daebiya I can't pull myself away from it!
In a way that's what makes me lament the missed opportunity more, but I do hope success could pave the way for a bigger and better sequel!
