The things people are complaining about don't make sense. Like people complain about cars appearing in front of you. If they changed this it would completely ruin the game. The ability to turn the camera around to change visible cars is a lifesaver when it comes to the import export side mission. And yeah they COULD have changed this. But I for one am glad they didn't. It's like... you have people complaining about Mario 64 not having the backwards long jump glitch. It'd be like that but tenfold. This game is warts in tact. That's what they decided on and I'm glad for it.

@PJOReilly are you a robot? Because that sounds impossible

7/10 is more reasonable

@HamatoYoshi I thought maybe it was just me but my comments are getting a surprising amount of upvotes considering I basically just berated the website!

(I don't hate the website by the way, I'm just worried lately how things have been going and I miss the good old days of Alex and his silly videos)

Is this Nintendo news?

Also... just want to say. I miss the days when there wasn't a new article every half an hour. And I feel like some of you guys don't even really like Nintendo. Not saying names, that's up to you guys. But there are some people writing articles that get a lot more controversy than others... that is an issue and is turning off older readers in favour of this new more toxic variety

Far too many articles on this website are annoying me lately. Didn't you guys recently post about how it's not appropriate to call developers lazy? And how it's better to explain what the problems are rather than just saying a few unhelpful words. So then why yesterday did you post a video and simply put "grand theft oh no". Better post that review up soon or you guys are just being hypocrites.

Telling people not to do the same behaviour you are actually encouraging from your readers with posts like this. Maybe you guys are becoming the problem? Just a thought...

What is the "Grand Theft Oh No" referring to? Am I meant to see something bad? Looks good to me and I'm enjoying replaying these games a lot!

@Damo Can you actually elaborate on what Emily Rogers has got right in the past because I've been following Nintendo since the game boy and I've literally never seen her get anything right. You ask people to explain her track record and so I ask you... what track record?

Pac-Man or Tetris. They're both pretty perfectly designed. I'd kind of argue for Pac-Man though because it feels more video game-y. And I feel like it gets more pop culture references

@reporterdavid yep, Nintendo are throwing in the towel /s

Glad to hear they're expanding the museum!

(What?! I meant the cafe! You thought I meant with more bugs? Oh...)

@Diogmites well there's your mistake. You bought the sequel. Which is literal ass and one of the worst lego games they've made. That and Lego Indiana Jones 2.

@roy130390 so they say "it's live" meaning in some regions and I say "it's not live" meaning my own... what gives one meaning precedence over the other? And why are you arguing semantics with me. This isn't an "average discussion", it's pure pedantry.

@roy130390 so the article says it's live, and doesn't specify which regions. And I say it's not live, and I also don't specify which regions. And yet I'm wrong? Maybe think about that

@roy130390 this article said it went up at 3:45am BST. My post was at 5:54am BST. That's two hours later. You say it was up in America at 6:00am BST. It wasn't available in the UK until MUCH later still. What's YOUR point? I was just saying it's not live for me. And how the heck was I supposed to know it would be up in America 6 minutes AFTER my comment

Thought I would test this after seeing this review. At first I thought this review was exaggerating as there was no lag as such. But the framerate was pretty abysmal. It feels like it's running natively on the switch which is silly because you should be able to have beautiful looking solid 60fps experiences over the cloud as you're not limited by the hardware. This feels like 10fps. Anyway, so I thought it was... okay, just really bad fps and then... it completely froze! The music carried on but the game froze. Now, I love cloud gaming. I've been playing xbox cloud on my mac, recently finished psychonauts 2 which is an amazing game. And that was beautiful with a solid 60fps. And other cloud games on the switch have fared better too. This is just a really bad cloud version. I don't know why it's so bad but it is. It really is broken. No game should freeze like that and not come back.

@roy130390 it wasn't available. Now it is. Your comment was a good hour after mine

It's not live though!

Smash Bros Ultimate has control remapping so you can actually set the c-buttons to jump like the N64 original

@swoose wow really? Okay... so basically there's no merit to any of these faults. That water temple one was the only one that seemed like it had some substance. I mean the controller pak issue is one too but at least it was the same on the virtual console and even on the n64 you couldn't have both rumble and a controller pak

@PJOReilly just seen the update. I still think it's incorrect honestly. It still forgets to mention that ZL can be used to shoot.

The idea behind it is that if you use the left stick to aim you use the ZL button and if you use the right stick to aim you use the ZR button. This is how it would be on the n64 controller as you could never otherwise use the trigger. ZR is simply not meant to be used when you use the left stick to aim. The N64 controller doesn't even have ZR. It's an extra mapping for convenience so should be seen as a benefit rather than a hinderance.

@PJOReilly all I could ask for! Apologies for the tone. It was the "100%" thing that irked me most of all. I guess "categorically untrue" is a little nicer than saying it's BS but that's all I meant by it haha. I wasn't trying to be mean or offensive. I was just miffed myself

@AlienX oh I see, my bad. So much misinformation about this new NSO service. I assume everyone's spreading it D:

@AlienX it has suspend points

@AG_Awesome yeah they did a really good job with the controls for this game I think! Glad they didn't just do a one size fits all with the controls

@riccyjay I love how PJ just said he's done with me rather than acknowledging the mistake. Like, he will comment on the other stuff and defend himself but if it comes to acknowledging a mistake nope. Gets angry because I said "BS". Like... was what I said really that bad? Does it really matter the manner in which it is delivered? Gee whizz... why is everyone so afraid of saying "sorry, I was wrong, I will correct that"

@riccyjay yeah you can, because shoot is mapped to ZL

@PJOReilly forget the tone, I only said "BS". It's not that bad. Just make sure your journalism is "100%" accurate dude

@AG_Awesome well this is what I'm saying. The right control stick is NOT the c buttons for this game. Because Nintendo actually bothered to have different control schemes per game. But for some reason journalists are too lazy to check this so sin and punishment is actually fine and not broken. I was having a blast with it last night

@AG_Awesome I'm saying that with sin and punishment the right control stick is mapped to the n64 control stick rather than the c-buttons. So you can use the right stick to aim and the d-pad to strafe. Just like the original release

@PJOReilly look into sin and punishment because your 100% confirmation is complete BS. The N64 didn't even have a ZR. ZR is intended to be used when you use the right control stick which is to simulate holding the n64 control stick with your right hand and the d-pad to strafe. If you use the left stick to aim you are meant to use ZL, as that's where the trigger would be on an N64 controller.

@AG_Awesome you don't need to do that, because they've already mapped the right control stick for this game. So you can use the d-pad to strafe, the right stick to aim and ZR to shoot.

OR, you use the left stick to aim, ZL to shoot and X and Y to strafe.

These aren't lazy ports. They did actually care to make sure the control schemes work. But this is lazy journalism where they didn't bother to check this despite "100% confirming".

And Mario Kart 64 has never made use of the controller pak in ANY virtual console release... seriously. This list makes me want to stop looking at this site. Never seen so much misinformation in my life

And it not being the shindou version of mario 64 is not even a complaint. No one in the west had this version until all stars. And then everyone complained about it because they couldn't do certain glitches.

Okay I just want to say that the sin and punishment controls are not an issue at all. You can use d-pad to strafe, and you can use ZL to shoot (which doesn't remap the face buttons). If you suspend the game and check the controls you won't have an issue.

So 100% confirm my ass. I was having a blast with it last night

Uhh, when has this "leaker" got anything right? Didn't they say Mother 3 was coming out on the Wii U? And like some really incorrect smash bros leaks? Pro switch? I forget... but anyway. This isn't even a leak, it's just an obvious guess. I wrote the same thing on reddit, they probably just read my post or came to the same conclusion because, IT'S OBVIOUS!

Kind of makes sense that it's to do with storage. I imagine this is why GTA V isn't yet on the machine. Maybe we'll get a cloud version of that down the line too.

Is the Toree 2 mention a joke or am I missing something

Anyone that has this very rare sensitivity will know that dimming any LEDs will have this effect. For the majority of people it's just confusing and another reason to hate on the new model for no reason.

@Kid_Sickarus then you should read my reply to the "multiple people" because it's still relevant a quote by Nintendo to a writer of an article who literally said it's nothing to worry about. Not even directed at us the consumer

@Kid_Sickarus stop assuming that I'm missing stuff. It's very rude why are you being so defensive?

@Kid_Sickarus I already saw it when the other guy posted it. Nothing strange about it. Just asking you to provide a reference or the quote is meaningless

@Kid_Sickarus Why not just link to the article that's from https://www.cnet.com/tech/gaming/nintendo-switch-oled-screen-burn-in-why-you-shouldnt-be-worried/

@BloodNinja it doesn't, I was saying people are making a fuss about the burn in. Not you're making a fuss with your question

@digimaster7 they said that to consumers? Or to the writer of an article titled "Nintendo Switch OLED screen burn-in: Why you shouldn't be worried"

@NEStalgia you are correct

@BloodNinja I think people forget that Nintendo do vigorous product testing. Unless Nintendo warn you about it, it's not an issue. I don't know why there's such a fuss about it

Ahh nice, I panicked when I wrote this email because the Smash Bros direct was happening imminently. I basically just said "here's a code" without explaining what it was haha. I just thought it was so random and I know that nintendolife are Monkey Ball fans

@gcunit I found it here https://youtu.be/dyfLkhtLrbg not sure who originally discovered it
