Re: Sega Laments Poor Performance Of Its Console Releases In Latest Financial Report

SegaBlueSky

I love Sega - that much is clear by my username - but their approach bugs the hell out of me sometimes. Persona and Yakuza are both fantastic series and they've been knocking it out of the park with those. Sonic Mania? Awesome. Very excited for Panzer Dragoon on Switch and Streets of Rage 4, too.

But the fragmentation and inconsistency is what gets me. Phantasy Star Online 2 is a game I've been dying to play for years, and when they finally announce it for the West, it's North America and only on Xbox. New Virtual On Collection? Japan only. ARGH. Then there's the recent Super Monkey Ball release, which was of the worst game in the entire series. Grr.

And yes, we need more Saturn and Dreamcast era re-releases. The IP they have is ridiculous and they just don't do anything with them. I've re-bought classic titles for PlayStation, Nintendo and Square Enix countless times on multiple platforms and probably will do again. If Sega released the potential of their portfolio, people would buy them and I don't think it would just be oldschool fanboys like me.

Another "meh" for me unfortunately, so far Piranha Plant and Joker have been the only DLC characters I've wanted enough to buy, so quite happy I held off from buying the character pass up front. Fire Emblem seems a really anticlimactic one to end on, especially as there's already a blue haired, sowrd wielding Fire Emblem character in there already, but oh well.

Re: Gallery: Here's What The Nintendo Switch Lite Looks Like

@Heavyarms55 Yes, and it's available at a reduced price with an advertised reduced feature set. It doesn't make your TV obsolete because there is still the core Switch model that maintains that feature. This is a cheaper, lighter option for those that don't use the dock. Of which there are plenty. Nintendo aren't trying to rip you off or force you to adopt a new technology to do the same thing you did before. So it's nothing like the headphone jack saga.

@Heavyarms55 Really? Removing the headphone jack rendered expensive hardware obsolete. It's nothing like that here.

The Switch Lite is for people that aren't connecting the Switch to their TVs. If that sounds stupid then I guess it's just not for you, but there are plenty of people that would love one of these. And I think the new colours look ace, so each to their own.

Re: Miyamoto Believes Nintendo Have Not Fallen Behind With VR

SegaBlueSky

Can't fall behind when you were never there to begin with I guess.

In all seriousness, I can see where Miyamoto is coming from an to expect a competitor product to the likes of PSVR is unrealistic at this stage. Nintendo are about mass market and PlayStation are about hardcore gamers and right now in-depth VR experiences are firmly in the latter camp. If they can figure out a way to make a dedicated VR unit for everyone then I imagine they'll strongly consider it.

Network support on the other hand? Well, yes. Ninty needs improvement there.
