Re: Review: NBA 2K20 - An Impressive Port That Delivers The Full Experience On Switch

It’s a good basketball game at its core. However, it might as well be Free to Play, given all the microtransactions and heavy grind requirements. I picked it up, at Best Buy’s GCU discount, but will be trading it for something else. The Switch version runs at 30 FPS with dips and the load times are horrendous. Not to mention the required 30 GB day one install for physical copies.

I think the acclaimed platformer "A Hat in Time" was a leak. I think it'll be a good addition to the Switch library. I hope we get an update for Bloodstained; a stable framerate update would be great. I hope they announce SNES games for the online service. Maybe, they'll show the Switch Lite in action a little more too.

Re: Talking Point: Should Nintendo Be Concerned About Google's Play For Gamers?

I must say I’m intrigued. They recently hired Jade Raymond. This suggests to me that they’re aiming for the core gaming market. Some Triple A exclusives might be primed. Also, they already have a handle on casual games via Google Play. Starting today, Microsoft now allows streaming from PC to Xbox. Valve just announced Steam links to mobile devices. This sounds like “insider” reactionary moves to me, given the timing.

I think the Google system will allow users to download and stream games to any device with Google Play.
