Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition Gets Nintendo Switch 2 Upgrade, Out Now

@TheRazor dude, i have Bomb Rush Cyberfunk on my switch one that lets me change the framerate from 30 to 60 at no aditional cost or download.

What you essentially bought was included in every PC game by default. hell, even a system wide feature on Switch 2, considering the Hitman game on the system has performance increases if you lower your console's resolution.
It's even included in Playstation 4 and 5 games... for free!!!

As a consumer, have a god damn backbone to say "no" ffs....

@TheRazor Please fix your formatting. i didn't get this reply

Second, you are the customer. Why the hell do you wanna pay more money for less??? This just seems like a corporate sheep consoomer mentality, and only benefits the investors, not Nintendo, not us.

We have actual indies and AAs updating their games without the strings attached. Why can't the bigger boys have the foresight that this is a bad reputational idea?

@CubeMage They changed armor aesthetics from some of the JP Wii U version and got rid of customization features like the bust slider. they also completely altered some post game outfits that were supposed to be just for stupid fun like the bunny outfit, which funny enough was preserved for all female characters in the european Wii U version iirc.

@Folkloner Localization is saying that anything bigger or smaller than a bust size B is offensive to americans, apparently. rest of the world doesn't care? doesn't matter! because only americans matter!!! Bikinis are illegal by law there after all!!! 😤

I really wish the days of ad-based viewing would come back as the norm. And I am not talking about crappy "pay to still watch ads" tiers netflix and others are doing

Still remember when I was watching the entire crunchyroll catalog without spending a cent and finding lots of niche stuff that eventually became part of my tastes. Too bad they switched to premium exclusively

Re: Dispatch Dev AdHoc Responds To Nintendo's Statement, Says It Intends To Address Censored Switch Content

"As Nintendo states, any game that’s going to be on the Nintendo platform needs to ‘meet [Nintendo’s] established content and platform guidelines.’ This is the key point. Nintendo has content guidelines. Our game didn’t meet those guidelines, so we made changes that would allow us to release on their platform."
This just further prooves what I said on the last article:

https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2026/01/nintendo-responds-to-dispatch-switch-censorship-with-official-statement#comment9001082

"We initially assumed, like some of you, that because games like Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk are on the platform with similar types of uncensored mature content, Dispatch would be allowed to do the same. During the porting process it became clear that was not the case."
and this further prooves that Nintendo, like Steam and Playstation, are playing favorites...
I wonder if it's possible to sue when a company doesn't meet their own established guidelines...

"While we inform partners when their titles don’t meet our guidelines, Nintendo does not make changes to partner content. We also do not discuss specific content or the criteria used in making these determinations."

This is a cop-out.

No, you absolutely do.
By having said unreasonable guidelines, you are telling devs what they must change about their game to be seen on your platform when you should instead keep yourself out of someone else's creation process. This is the kind of ***** that leads to self censorship. If your guidelines simply drew the line at regulatory bodies and let devs go hog wild with their ideas, no fan would be complaining

@shgamer the VF series is more exclusively about the raw fundamentals of 3D fighting. It's got combos, sure, but they end as fast as the begin. It's a little too "pure" for our hype-tastic world today.

If it makes you feel a little better, the original people behind PS1 Tekken also worked on VF before they jumped to namco iirc.
