Re: Say Hello To Pauline In Donkey Kong Bananza

Serpenterror

@StewdaMegaManNerd If this is a prequel to Donkey Kong for Arcade then it finally make sense as to why DK kidnapped her in that game. Cranky and Pauline probably had a good relationship at first but perhaps this game will explain why Pauline turns her back on DK (Cranky) and went to have a relationship with Mario's father, Jumpman who's name is also Mario.

Re: PS5 Hit 'Stellar Blade' Is Reportedly In Consideration For The Switch 2

Serpenterror

@Sindayl That version was broken cause both the Xbox Series S and X doesn't felt like the same console. Both had totally different specs, processor, limitation, and hardware utilization. Making games for both is like making games for the PS2 and PS4 at the same time. Just cause it'll run decent on Series X doesn't mean it'll run at all on Series S and Microsoft is forcing every third party devs if they are porting their games to the Series X that they also had to port it to the Series S as well.

That means that games on the Series systems had to have two versions every time. In most situation many third party devs doesn't want to make two versions cause they only had enough budget for just one. This is why many third party devs either skipped the Xbox Series systems altogether or they just focus more on the Series X version and just left the Series S version as broken and then some just make an Xbox One version only, sure it won't feel like a next gen release but at least it'll work on both Xbox Series S and X with decent graphics and performance. Nobody wants to have to make games for a next gen system and then at the same time also had to force themselves to make a waterdown last gen version too.

If you're wondering why more third party games on PS5, Switch, and PC doesn't come to Xbox, this is why. Now you know why games like Patapon and Everybody's Golf skipped the Xbox, it's not because those are Sony IPs and Sony doesn't want it there. It's because Bandai Namco doesn't want to make two versions of each game for both Xbox consoles. By doing that they had to split their team in tinkering with two different dev kits just for the same game and they just don't have the time to do so.

Re: Trails Beyond The Horizon Slips To Early 2026, But It's Also Coming To Switch 2

@NinjaWaddleDee It doesn't matter how expensive, the thing is Nintendo is dumb not to have a solution. The only offering they had given to third party are a 32gb card, a 64gb card, or the game key card. When it comes to third party there are those who made big game that had surpass the 64gb threshold so those games had to use game key card or be digital only. Then we had the indie who games are either 10gb or less and they too don't want to pay an expensive price for storage they don't need and thus those also used game key card then we got greedy corps like Square Enix, Capcom, Konami, Sega, UbiSoft, Activision, EA, and Bandai Namco who games range from 15gb-30gb but refused to support native game cards.

There is a solution to these game key card situation but Nintendo refuse to process those cause then it wouldn't benefit them. The solution is simple, if third parties can't afford to buy native game cards in bulk for their games with the current flat asking price then why not just make a subscription for them so they stick around and don't have to pay a lot. If Nintendo could make a subscription service for the customers (us) who buy their games then they should be able to make a subscription service to the customers (third parties) who buy their cartridges as well. Just have them pay $10/month for 500 cartridges. C'mon Nintendo you can do better than this, don't let physical games die because of game key (scam) cards. If games can't be preserve anymore than sooner or later their won't be a gaming industry left to look forward to. Physical games are what made gaming golden, ruin that and you just ruin the very business to which you are known for.

Re: Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster Controversially Cuts War Of The Lions Content

Serpenterror

Most of the stuffs in War of the Lions were just filler contents anyways so missing those doesn't takeaway the game from its main objective and story. Besides who play multiplayer in a tactics game anyways? Unless it's a turn based military style or musou style game that was meant to have multiplayer like Advance Wars and Dynasty Warriors then not having multiplayer is quite okay.

Re: Nintendo Reportedly Banning Switch 2's Using MIG Cartridges

Serpenterror

Truth be told, they were warn by Nintendo about hacking and playing pirated software on the Switch 2. They had no one to blame but themselves. If you own a Mig Switch then you must had also own a hack Switch. There's no reason to risk playing that on the Switch 2 as a hack Switch is already overclock to be better than a normal Switch and a much safer ground for playing hacks and homebrews.

Re: UK Charts: Yes, Two Mario Kart Games Are In The Top Ten

Serpenterror

Reason why many people still buy Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was for its premium features and contents. Mario Kart World at the moment despite it's a brand new game doesn't feel like a premium game. It wouldn't surprise me if people starting re-buying MK8 Deluxe just to test it on Switch 2.

Re: Disgaea 7 Complete Is Launching Exclusively On Switch 2 In The West

Serpenterror

@Vyacheslav333 Just so you know both Disgaea 6 & 7 Complete were both released for Switch in Japan but only as digital download. Both did not have a physical release but their base versions does have physical releases and you could just buy all the DLCs for them on the eShop so it's technically like a complete version. The Switch 2 version will have everything the 7 Complete version got as well as a few additional contents, a new playable character plus better graphics and that's it.

Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Playable On Switch 2 Despite 'Incompatibility' And It Runs Far Better

Serpenterror

@Jprhino84 You are living in a world where everything had to be verify, if what you use works for you and the company listed it on there website as incompatible with what you are using for then that's exactly what I just explain. You don't need the company to let you know if something works, what they verify their product to work with may sometimes be different from the way you use it. I bought tons of games from Steam and 70% of those had not been verify for Steam Deck thus listed as incompatible but I try them out on my Steam Deck anyways and a majority of them works. Yes most of those had to be tinker with to make them run but in the end they work regardless. Heck most of them are still listed as incompatible to this day but I had been playing those games on my Steam Deck for years now. I had my proof in what I say.

Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Playable On Switch 2 Despite 'Incompatibility' And It Runs Far Better

Serpenterror

@Mando44646 PS4 games are native backwards compatible with PS5 so they don't need to be confirm as incompatible or not. Switch 1 games are not native backwards compatible with Switch 2, they are only compatible through emulation and optimization. If it says incompatible, that just means Nintendo had not verify the optimization of that game for Switch 2 yet. It doesn't mean it won't work and.

It's similar to the Steam Deck verification situation. It only listed as incompatible cause the verification for it was not process by the company yet. It's the same thing when inspecting a product before shipping, even though that product had not been verify yet by the inspector, that doesn't mean it won't work. It'll work but there's a likely chance that certain issue could still happen.

Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Playable On Switch 2 Despite 'Incompatibility' And It Runs Far Better

Serpenterror

Do beware that when it says incompatible, that means they are still trying to find ways to make the game work their way. So if it already works now, when the official patch is available just don't update it. There's a chance that the official patch may render the current workaround as moot. In more ways than not, it usually makes the game run worst on purpose than how it was right now.

Long story short, if you like what you got now, don't update to the one they will give you later.

Re: Capcom Is Recording Switch 2 Game-Key Card Purchases As "Digital Sales"

Serpenterror

If you still had to download the game then it's not really a physical product anymore. It's fake, it's a rental and what Nintendo, Capcom, and other third party of the Switch 2 are doing is illegal. It's illegal cause by the push of a button they could easily delist the game from the eShop at any time rendering the game key card useless so if the customer doesn't know this and resell the game key card as a use game, the customer that bought it and thought they are getting a physical game will have just a plastic card and no product.

I can't believe companies like these would go so low as to doing something this illegal in gaming now. From now on I'm just going to call the Switch 2 the Scam 2 cause it's looks like that's basically what it is now. It's not a console that will give the customer the satisfaction of a good product, it's just a console that's literally here to embrace the scamming of the consumers. It's sick and disgusting.

Re: Aspyr Is Releasing Another Enhanced PC Classic On Switch This July

Serpenterror

@PKDuckman It's larger cause it's a remaster edition, the one on GOG is a standard definition version. When a standard definition game got a remaster it usually had options for higher performance and resolution in able to run smoothly on modern television which is why the game data for a remaster is bigger than the original. It's kinda like when you're downloading a video, a 240p quality version is quicker and had small data, a 480p version is decent and had two times more data, then there's a 720p 30fps and a 720p 60fps versions which had high and low data but far bigger than the 480p version. Then there's the 1080p and 4K versions which will be even larger in data that could take longer to download but had the highest quality than the rest.

Re: Publishers Are "Thanking" Nintendo For Game-Key Cards On Switch 2

Serpenterror

Thanking them for helping to scam the customers. I had a feeling that I won't be buying that many Switch 2 games in this new upcoming would-be terrible generation. At least they are generous enough to tell us on the case that those are just game key card title so that's good to know. Those who buy em knowing that they are game key card and still complain had no excuse to blame anyone else but themselves.

Re: Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection Comes To Switch And Switch 2 In 2025

Serpenterror

@AG_Awesome Yeah those arcade AI were super cheap and unfair but since this collection is going to include the console ports too, you may want to start with those first since those will include one button fatality and Easy mode plus some more extras. Mortal Kombat 4 in the arcade doesn't include Meat, Noob Saibot and Goro as hidden playable fighter so that version despite been the more graphical and smoother version is missing a lot of contents, you may want to start with either the N64 or PS1 port first, also the Dreamcast version if we're lucky. The same deal with Ultimate MK3, while the arcade version does had plenty of fighters, the console versions for SNES and Genesis got playable Rain and Noob Saibot and the Brutality finisher plus Motaro and Shao Kahn as bonus playable characters to unlock.

Re: Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection Comes To Switch And Switch 2 In 2025

Serpenterror

@Lizuka GOG was really nice to put that game on sale for $2 the last I check it. That's the only time I bought the game, I however didn't really like MK Trilogy in general cause of the missing contents that should have been included. Having a Johnny Cage who can't nut punch, a Pit II where no one can fall, a ninja Sub-Zero that can't spine ripped or deep freeze, a Goro's Lair with no creeping eyes, a Kahn's Arena with nobody chained to them, and a Scorpion that can't summon the Shirai Ryu clan fatality just isn't interesting to me. Also I hate the Aggressor meter, I thought it was a lame attempt at having a super meter but it isn't even that, it's worst than that.
