Still enjoy the game. It is a game that is best played with a group. I remember having a few "clan" battles in the early days. Those were a LOT of fun. ^^
Nintendo own their IPs. If they want they want to shutdown fan projects, they have the power to do so. The public may not agree, but nothing we can do about it.
This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Downloading an update for any "physical" copy of a game is standard practice these days. We should all be used to it by now.
If the Switch Dock does get a firmware update, I would love for the USB 3.0 input to actually run at USB 3.0 speeds. It would allow for 3.0 USB Ethernet adapters to run at Gigabyte internet speeds.
I didn't like Monster Hunter till Monster Hunter World. That entry made it very easy for newcomers and off putters to get into the game with ease. Hearing Rise having some QoL taken from World, I'm looking forward to this game.
I guess it's something. Being able to keep the same party to do other dungeons is nice.
Now if they DO make it possible to gather Myrrth and/or do the Moogle letter together, that would be nice. Be tempting to actually give the game a try.
I enjoyed One Strike as well most of my family members during the Thanksgiving holiday. Even got the DLC because of it. Going to have to give these other free games a try.
I'm hoping it does decent. I wouldn't mind seeing a few games that wouldn't work well on Switch be cloud version. PSO2 Cloud for example would be a nice welcome addition. Along with any other free-to-play titles.
@Daniel36 To answer an old comment, the region lock applies to the friend code system as well. The one in the FFCC RE that is. An AUS buddy of mine and I tried to add each other, we got different people with the codes.
In order to play with anyone from a different region, both player must DOWNLOAD the game from the eShop that it in the SAME region. In this case, he either needs to download the NA version or I need to download the AUS version (which at the moment is impossible right now).
@Ulysses Agreed. The remaster may have turned out much differently if they decided to focus on the console only. Hell, if it was just Switch only, local co-op MAY have actually been a thing.
@Daniel36 We'll just have to wait and see. True, old fans of the series are mix and will probably wait it out to see if anything changes. Wouldn't hold my breath though. We'll see how the game handles in a week or so.
I'll wait for a sale or something since I have plenty of game to keep me busy anyway. But I don't expect any "local co-op" or "cutscene with other players" patch happening anytime soon.
@Daniel36 Good luck, I don't see them patching the game just for the sake of Couch Co-op. Granted, seeing how the game plays, the coding seems to be. Just a matter of IF they want to do it.
@MagnaRoader You can still just get the main game for one and let others player via the lite version. Long as the host buys the game, you can still play the rest.
Still rather dumb how Square Enix desigb the multiple. My only grip is that you can't see the overworld events with your onw little party.
@SwitchVogel Wait, so let me see if I understand this. Progress is only made on the host save file, not everyone. The home village is only solo content? That sucks.
What about the over world cutscenes? Is that solo as well or can you at least see it with the rest of the caravan players?
Lack of local multiplayer isn't a big lost. Most games today are played online anyways. The fact that the game is region locked is small downer. I won't be able to play the game with my AUS buddies...
@MegaVel91 I know it's in the west. I play the game all the time.
I SAID it would be nice for NA version to be on Switch as well. Not just Windows 10 and Xbox. I don't think I mention anything about the game not being in the west at all. DUDE...
I saw this coming. I knew the remastered version wouldn't support local multi-player. The way the trailer showed the game and how the UI looked, it wasn't happening. Plus, given that everything is done online these days, local/couch co-op is a thing past. Sad but true.
Hopefully it won't be the last Splatfest. Even if they just re-hashed the old splat fest teams, it would still be fun. A chance to breath more life into Splatoon 2. ^^
I'll never understand why people get so worked up over a day 1 patch. It's a common practice these days. 1 GB update? That is small and nothing to complain about.
@status-204 @Samwise7 Status is right. There is a reason why China is THE place for manufacturing products. It's quick, cheap, and low cost. Even with this outbreak, I don't see that changing anytime soon.
@00-Aretha Isn't the reason the parts are made in China to save money? Cheap labor and cost of parts. I don't see them pulling manufacturing out of China anytime soon.
@Zeriitas I don't think I mentioned anything about Ultimates input. All I said was that Rival of Aethers is clunky. And that I prefer ultimate instead. Both are my opinions from playing both games.
@Zeriitas That it is your opinion. On both to Rivals of Aether and Melee. I'll stick with mine. Thank You very much.
Also, my gaming rig is over the recommended system specs. The movement felt clunky and I'm sticking by that. Just cause I don't like a game that everyone else seems to like, you want to attack for me it? Yeah, okay. Whatever.

Re: Splatoon 2 Is Getting Another Game Update Next Week
@Riderkicker Yep. Friends and buddies help make games last longer.
The loosing streak thing is with any game with a competitive element. Best to walk away and try again later.
Re: Splatoon 2 Is Getting Another Game Update Next Week
Still enjoy the game. It is a game that is best played with a group. I remember having a few "clan" battles in the early days. Those were a LOT of fun. ^^
Re: Talking Point: As The Fan-Made 2D Metroid Prime Game Is Shut Down, Where Do You Stand On Nintendo's Takedowns?
Nintendo own their IPs. If they want they want to shutdown fan projects, they have the power to do so. The public may not agree, but nothing we can do about it.
Re: NERF: Legends Will Allow You To Shoot Enemies With Annoying Soft Darts In October
@abdias Have 3 younger brothers and a younger tomboy sister. The nerf guns were popular toys in our family. It help settle many arguments. : P
Re: Nintendo Switch OLED Model Vs. Standard Switch / Switch Lite: Full Tech Specs Comparison
The docks is what I' mainly interested in. I hope it's a gigabyte LAN port. It would be a huge plus.
Re: Eek! The Physical Copy Of Monster Hunter Stories 2 Might Require A Download
This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Downloading an update for any "physical" copy of a game is standard practice these days. We should all be used to it by now.
Re: Talking Point: Should Nintendo Do More DLC For Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Or Just Release Mario Kart 9 Already?
The game should get more DLC or at least give us some info on a new Mario Kart 9 or something.
Re: Talking Point: Surely It's Time For Game Boy On Nintendo Switch Online?
GBA game would be nice. I don't see it happening anytime soon. Now if the WiiU was still around, then it be possible. : P
Re: Soapbox: Hurry Up And Release The Switch Pro Already, My Switch Is Dying
I don't have any issues with my Switch console. My joy cons also don't suffer from the drift issues gamers seem to have.
Give me some details on the "Pro" version first before I buy please. ^^
Re: Monster Hunter Rise Version 2.0.0 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Sweet! Looking forward to the update! ^^
Re: Free Super Mario Party Update Gives Massive Boost To Online Play
About time. Guess I'll give be playing this game again.
Re: Talking Point: Wii Features We'd Love To See On Nintendo Switch
I'm not a big retro gamer so I can do without the virtual console system. Eshop shop music and animations would be nice.
Though, I'd rather they put their efforts into the Switch's online system and infrastructure. It works but could be better.
Re: Capcom Will Broadcast Another Monster Hunter Digital Event Next Week
Master or G rank would be nice. Maybe seeing one new biome would be cool too. Would help to bring some old and new monsters to the game.
Re: Japanese Charts: Monster Hunter Rise Stays Top For A Fourth Consecutive Week
Nice. Monster Hunter Rise is a fun game to play. ^^
Re: Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Remaster Finally Returns To Australian eShop, Seven Months After Its Removal
Now if only the region lock was removed.
Re: Rumour: Evidence Of A "New" Nintendo Switch Dock Supposedly Datamined In System Update 12.0.0
If the Switch Dock does get a firmware update, I would love for the USB 3.0 input to actually run at USB 3.0 speeds. It would allow for 3.0 USB Ethernet adapters to run at Gigabyte internet speeds.
Right now, it's only running at 2.0 speeds...
Re: Talking Point: Which Old Game Series Would You Like To See Revived?
I would love to see a Star Fox game on the Switch. Never got a chance to try out the remake on Wii U.
Re: Review: Monster Hunter Rise - A New Apex For Capcom's Beastly Franchise
I didn't like Monster Hunter till Monster Hunter World. That entry made it very easy for newcomers and off putters to get into the game with ease. Hearing Rise having some QoL taken from World, I'm looking forward to this game.
Plus, another game to play for my Switch. : P
Re: Where To Pre-Order The Monster Hunter Rise Nintendo Switch Console And Pro Controller
@Dryden Heads up, seems the pre-order for the pro controller are up on Best Buy and Gamestop for US costumers.
Re: Next Patch For Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Remaster Scheduled For Later This Month
I guess it's something. Being able to keep the same party to do other dungeons is nice.
Now if they DO make it possible to gather Myrrth and/or do the Moogle letter together, that would be nice. Be tempting to actually give the game a try.
Re: Buy One Qubic Fighting Game "And Grab 3 Others For Free" - This Weekend Only
I enjoyed One Strike as well most of my family members during the Thanksgiving holiday. Even got the DLC because of it. Going to have to give these other free games a try.
Re: Video: Does Cloud Gaming Work On The Nintendo Switch?
I'm hoping it does decent. I wouldn't mind seeing a few games that wouldn't work well on Switch be cloud version. PSO2 Cloud for example would be a nice welcome addition. Along with any other free-to-play titles.
Re: PSA: Use A Wired Connection When Playing Smash Bros. Ultimate Online
My switch dock already has a wired connection. If you have the option, wired ethernet is always the better option.
Re: Director Of Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Remaster Will "Try To Put Things Right"
@Zimon Many would love that idea. Course that require them overhauling the current way multiplayer works. Low chance of that happening.
They should at least make it so you can swap host around or have characters that qualify get drops of Myrrth.
Re: Director Of Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Remaster Will "Try To Put Things Right"
@Daniel36 To answer an old comment, the region lock applies to the friend code system as well. The one in the FFCC RE that is. An AUS buddy of mine and I tried to add each other, we got different people with the codes.

Re: Director Of Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Remaster Will "Try To Put Things Right"
I guess this is something. They are at least TRYING to fix it.
Now if they could remove the region lock, that would make so many of us happy. I'd settle just to have that removed.
Re: Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Remaster Pulled From Australia's eShop
@Ulysses Agreed. The remaster may have turned out much differently if they decided to focus on the console only. Hell, if it was just Switch only, local co-op MAY have actually been a thing.

@MagnaRoader sorry, your right. ALMOST the full game.

Re: Reminder: You Can Now Download The Free Lite Version Of Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition
Least the game is $30 bucks and not a full $60

Re: Reminder: You Can Now Download The Free Lite Version Of Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition
@MagnaRoader The region lock only only applies to the matchmaking system. You can still play with each other through the invite/friend system.
Re: Review: Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition - A Weak RPG Enlivened By Nostalgia
@SwitchVogel Really? There is no way to enjoying the cutscene in co-op mode? That sucks..

Re: Sega Brings Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis To Nintendo Switch In 2021
Be nice to see PSO2 and PSO2: Genisis on Switch outside of Japan. But seeing it come to Windows 10 is good enough.
Nice to see the game actually have a global release then a JPN exclusive.
Re: Switch Online Members Will Soon Be Able To Play Pokkén Tournament DX For Free
Nice, good chance to see how this game plays on the Switch. Wouldn't mind having another fighter besides Smash to play.
Re: The Remaster Of Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Won't Support Local Multiplayer

Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 10.0.0 Is Now Live
Nice, can finally transfer stuff to the SD. Thumbs up here.
Re: Switch Stock Shortage Is Pushing Buyers Towards PS4 and Xbox One, Claims Retailer
@tekknik i'll believe it when I see it. After this outbreak is over, everything will go back to normal.
Re: Switch Stock Shortage Is Pushing Buyers Towards PS4 and Xbox One, Claims Retailer
@status-204 @Samwise7 Status is right. There is a reason why China is THE place for manufacturing products. It's quick, cheap, and low cost. Even with this outbreak, I don't see that changing anytime soon.
Re: Nintendo Comments On Switch Stock Issues, Delay Situation "Has Not Changed"
@00-Aretha Isn't the reason the parts are made in China to save money? Cheap labor and cost of parts. I don't see them pulling manufacturing out of China anytime soon.
Re: Here's Your First Look At Rivals Of Aether Running On Switch
@Zeriitas I don't think I mentioned anything about Ultimates input. All I said was that Rival of Aethers is clunky. And that I prefer ultimate instead. Both are my opinions from playing both games.
Re: Here's Your First Look At Rivals Of Aether Running On Switch
@Zeriitas That it is your opinion. On both to Rivals of Aether and Melee. I'll stick with mine. Thank You very much.
Also, my gaming rig is over the recommended system specs. The movement felt clunky and I'm sticking by that. Just cause I don't like a game that everyone else seems to like, you want to attack for me it? Yeah, okay. Whatever.
Re: Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition Gets Rated In Australia
I wish a release would be announced already. Been waiting for this game too long now.
Re: Review: Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate - An Iterative Update For Hardcore Fans Only
I'll stick with Fire Emblem Warriors and Hyrule Warriors thank you.
