Re: Ongoing MicroSD Shortages Could Have A Knock-On Effect For Switch 2 Storage Availability

Serpenterror

Nintendo limiting the Switch 2 memory card usage to just microSD express card is one of the most stupidest decision in gaming all around especially for Nintendo. I know they want their games to run and load as fast as it could be but c'mon a Switch 2 game still load slower than a Steam Deck game and Steam Deck could use any microSD card. I load Cyberpunk 2077 from my Steam Deck via microSD and the Switch 2 version via microSD Express and the Steam Deck version load way more faster.

My guess is that it's not about speed that Nintendo was concern with when they choose microSD express card as proprietary for Switch 2, it's probably due to preventing piracy or a way to prevent people from easily copying files from Switch 1 to Switch 2. They don't want people to do the simple thing, they want it to make it as complicated as possible for people to transfer data. I also don't like calling these memory cards anymore either, they're just storage cards. If they are memory cards we would be able to save our game files onto them and easily back them up or restore them. Storage cards are card you use to store files or apps in.

Re: Japanese Charts: Konami Rolls Another Smash Hit With Its Momotaro Dentetsu Board Game Sequel

Welcome back Dragon Quest I & II (I wonder why the fake Switch 2 version didn't return) and Dragon Ball Sparking Zero. Bandai Namco is lucky to have release these for Switch otherwise they wouldn't get more sales from the Switch 1 & 2 audience. Also the PS5 Digital Edition is a waste of plastic, Sony should just discontinued that SKU and sell the base and pro models going forward. Heck the PS5 Pro model is basically just the Digital Edition anyways so having both on store shelves will only going to confuse customers.

Re: Sorry Xillia 2, 'Tales Of Berseria' Is The Next Remaster From Bandai Namco

Serpenterror

Nice, please let the next remake be Tales of Innocence R. It's a crime to leave that one on PS Vita since like the DS original, it too also never got released worldwide. Tales of Xillia 2 like Tales of Symphonia 2 weren't that great anyways, for anyone who play a Tales game, just play the mainline original and avoid the sequel that follows-up, usually the sequel are never good. They reveal more about the world of the prequel but they never go anywhere with the story and the new characters are forgettable. For games like Tales of Destiny, play the original and Tales of Destiny II (which is actually Tales of Eternia) and not the actual Tales of Destiny 2 which was a sloppy follow-up to the original Tales of Destiny.

Re: Random: Steam's Brand New Game Console Sure Looks Awfully Familiar

Serpenterror

Tbh I would rather buy this new Steam Machine console over a Switch 2 any day. At least with this one, you don't have to deal with fake games. Also people need to realize that PC are boxy hardware, that's what they always look like and this Steam Machine is just using that same style. It's literally just a mini desktop tower without disk drives, it's something we modern PC user nowadays called mini PCs.

Re: The Legend Of Zelda Movie Is Now "In Production" In New Zealand

Serpenterror

My hope for this movie will be very exciting. Also they are filming this in beautiful New Zealand where the Lord of the Rings trilogy and the Chronicles of Narnia trilogy took place. Expect to see some familiar locations in this despite the edit they will try of changing it. I'm also planning to take a trip there next year with the folks.

Square Enix Aims To Automate 70% Of QA With Generative AI By 2027

Translation: They gonna go all lazy by that time. Won't be surprise if all their games are AI automated too. This is why Final Fantasy will never be good anymore or ever cause soon they gonna use ChatGPT to handle the story of their RPGs instead of a human like Hironobu Sakaguchi.

Re: The Atari 50 Pac-Man Expansion Launches On Switch Next Week

Serpenterror

Huh I was wondering why I couldn't download the expansion even though it already appeared inside the collection yesterday. Hopefully they include more Atari Jaguar games and eventually add some Intellivision games in there too. C'mon Atari where's my Aliens vs. Predator, Kasumi Ninja, White Women Can't Jump, Ultra Vortex, Iron Soldier 1 & 2, Super Burnout, and Defender 2000?

Re: Supply Of Switch Hardware Will Continue If Enough Demand Persists

Serpenterror

@dskatter Yes and just cause you like that garbage doesn't it isn't. Nintendo had one job to make the Switch 2 something special and they screw it up which is why I say I what I say. You can polish something but if it's garbage, doesn't matter how much you polish it, it's still garbage. All they had to do with the Switch 2 is to make it more powerful than the Nintendo Switch 1, that's all they had to do, they don't have to do anything else and what did they do? They do something stupid that makes games not feel like games anymore which is why I say the Switch 2 is garbage, if the games are not games anymore. At this point it's no different from buying a bootleg games when the official ones feel like fakes.

Re: Supply Of Switch Hardware Will Continue If Enough Demand Persists

Serpenterror

Nintendo knew that if they end support for Switch 1, then they will have no other platform to fall back on if whenever the garbage that was the Switch 2 failed. Remember there's no Game Boy, there's no DS, and there's no 3DS to save their console's skin anymore. They only had the hybrid market now, if that failed then they are done so they'll have to keep the Switch 1 around for longer just in case if the Switch 2 is losing steam. They may as well use Sony's strategy going forward, keep the Switch 1 around and launch the Switch 2, then in five years when the Switch 2 is successful, killed the Switch 1 and announce the Switch 3. Then when the Switch 3 launch keep the Switch 2 on the market for five more years until the Switch 4 is announce and the Switch 3 become successful. Rinse and and repeat until they decided to make something new again.

Re: Switch 2 Has The Largest Third-Party Software Lineup Ever For New Nintendo Hardware

Switch 2 Has The Largest Third-Party Software Lineup Ever For New Nintendo Hardware

While that's a cool lineup, it's too bad 90% of those 3rd party titles are either fake games or are going to be fake games. At that rate it may as well not have any. I had no problem with third party titles coming to Switch 2 but the fact that most are games that aren't even real physically just goes to show that this is all just quantity and not quality. Nintendo has always had issue with getting third party titles and going the fake game route is the worst of them all. Maybe next gen all we get for physical is a QR code that just remotely play the game, that would be the worst of the worst. At that point may as well not make any consoles either.

Re: Sega Provides Updated Sales Figures For Sonic Frontiers And Sonic Superstars

Serpenterror

Sonic Frontier was okay, Superstars was kinda iffy with the mix of 2D gameplay with 3D graphics thing and the constant use of classic Sonic and his classic friends just doesn't work nowdays. Sega should just remake all the older Sonic games (such as Sonic Advance 1, 2, and 3, Sonic Adventure 1 & 2, Sonic Heroes, Sonic Rush 1 & 2, Sonic 1, 2, Chaos, Triple Troubles, Blast, etc.) while also working on some new ones such as Sonic Adventure 3, Sonic the Hedgehog 5, Sonic Unleashed 2, Sonic Colors 2, Sonic Lost World 2, Sonic Advance 4, Sonic Drift 3, Sonic DVD and Sonic Blu-Ray (sequels to Sonic CD), Sonic R2, Super Sonic the Fighters II Turbo, Sonic Rush 3, Sonic Chaos 2, Sonic Battle 2, Sonic Pocket Adventure 2, Sonic Triple Trouble 3, Sonic Blast 2, Sonic Chronicles 2, and Sonic Heroes 2 .
