Been playing Metroid Prime Remastered on the switch 2. Not that it was bad before but man runs smooth as butter, and the door load times are more or less, non existent. That game is still one of my favorites, and one of the best.
I'm in Canada and on the Nintendo Canada site those invites don't start till May 8th. So was hoping to get an in-store one here today till they last minute cancelled our pre-order date. Not impressed.
I have two systems. One was a day one launch console. It's still running and in good shape. Only thing I've had to do was change the internal fan in it last year. It had started making a loud grinding noise. But been running smooth since.
I downloaded wrc8 and never been able to play it. I did maybe 2 races in the story then the third one always crashes the game once I finish the race. Redownloaded it multiple times on two different consoles with the same results. Really irritating since you can't refund. So I'll skip this one like I did 9.
@LUIGITORNADO you and me both. Been gaming since the Nintendo came out in 1985, and even a little before that and I don't really understand any of this. Lol I'm old to I guess at 41.
@Yorumi thank you. I was thinking the same thing. And playing devils advocate here but I'm sure if the game didn't do so well and wasn't a big title, they probably wouldn't give two shakes about it. No one would.
Let's hope that maybe the longshot is that since Nintendo and Microsoft are closer, they have been working to get goldeneye on this as well. With online multiplayer, hell yes it needs to happen.
@sketchturner not alone on that. It's the game I'm most excited for. I have the physical game for the 64, but my consoles don't work right, so can't really play it. So this will be fun.
Can't wait to play winback again. I have the 64 cart just not a fully functional N64. Mine keeps rebooting it's self. Plus no good connection for modern tvs, so really excited for that one.
"unregulated and freely available to our kids" Maybe if they did some parenting instead of placing blame. I grew up playing games, and I now have two kids who play games. And guess what I have full control over when and what they play. Not Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, or any of the hundreds of game developers. Me the parent controls this.
Still funny how some still like to blame everyone and everything else for their failures.
I've played all 3 Xenoblade games. I have chronicles on both my 3ds and switch. All three games are great. Would be nice to get a port of Xenoblade chronicles x for switch.
Ya ordered my because of this. Can't wait to play classic ninja Gaiden again with these. Those lovely corner imprints in the palm of my hands. So excited. Just need to get the SNES one now.
My launch day switch started having issue a year ago. The fan was making loud grinding noise. So I had bought another one. And all my 6 joycons developed drift. I just ended up ordering a fan and some analog replacements from Amazon and fixed them myself. Switch just hums now, and drift is gone on the ones I have replaced thus far. I didn't want to send them in and pay to have them fixed, did it myself.
I find it was alot smoother for sure. My only issu is there's a stutter every now and again while running about that can mess me up if it happens in a fight. Don't know why it does it. Been doing it for ever now it feels.
Doesn't bother me. I mostly play docked. But when I do play handheld it's never bothered me. I played through all of doom 2016 on handheld and it was great so not concerned. I want more power and better performance docked that's where it matters most to me.
I don't get it. I'm fine with these games only being limited runs. I wanted Mario 3d allstars, I got it day one. And I think most people that really wanted it did the same. This is done in more then just video games so it shouldn't be new or anything to get upset about. But what do I know.
I bought WRC8 and can't play it. It always crashes and kicks me back to the switch home after I attempt any race. I've reinstalled it multiple times. Tried it on Two different switch consoles. Only thing I didn't try is to install it directly to the switch memory. Witch I can't do as I don't have enough space on either of them. Was so disappointed with it. Especially since I can't get my money back.
Lake of physical copy is what is holding me back from getting it right away. I'm sure this is the same as for many other switch owners. I'm worried that if I get it I'll find out that the physical will come out months after like it has for a few others.
I still prefer getting physical games. Sure digital is nice. Makes it easy to swap in and out of games. But I still find the storage media used for switch is not the best for a all digital experience. I still have some digital games but will always gravitate to physical. I just wish we would get sales on games the same physical or digital.
I was always a huge fan of Zelda 2. It was really hard at times but still lots of fun to play. I would love to see Nintendo give it the Links awakening treatment. I would say the same for the first one but we kinda sorta got that with breath of the wild in a way. But this looks kinda cool. Hope it hits its goal.
My issue with the game has been the audio cutting out, and being at times up to almost 1minute out of sync. And also stuttering cause many issues with aiming. Not sure if I'm alone on that but it's been a real pane of late. Don't play with gyro so I can't speak to that.
I wish Epic would give more attention and care to the switch version but I don't see it happening. It's not a community that makes them money like PC or even the other consoles.
Iv bought a game I just can't play. It crashes on me all the time. I had re-installed it several times and always the same results. So was not happy with it. But I'm stuck with it. Gina try to download it to another SD card and see since I can't install it directly to my switch. Not enough space. Really wish I could use a usb hard drive since I mostly only play on TV.
I don't see the issue with a limited time release. Every game has a limited release in the end, they just they all have different end dates if you will. There are many games over the years I have regretted not getting cause they are eventually impossible to get with out being crazy over priced. But I always ensure to get the games I really want so that is not an issue.
I've seen comments that people couldn't get a copy on release, well it's safe to say there will be more released before the end of the window they announced. So I hope they will get their copy in the end. This is an anniversary release so I wouldn't expect it to be around as long as let's say Breath of the wild. It's not here to sell the system, but to celebrate Mario 35th anniversary.
I don't know, but I'm excited to play these games again with upscaled visuals even if it just cleans them up a bit, it's welcomed.
I know this is unpopular of an opinion, but I think this is being made into way bigger of an issue then t really is. There are more important things to talk about, like where is the Metroid Prime trilogy so I can buy those games again for the 4th time each. Lol
