Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 26th)

I want to get in on the Anthem demo, but I don't have a VIP friend code. I'll probably wait until the open beta next weekend. I always fit a few matches on NBA 2k19 in. I might put a few hours into Red Dead Redemption 2 and Horizon Zero Dawn; sometimes, I'm too tired from the work week to focus on lengthy games. And, I'm slowly chipping away at Tales of Vesperia for Switch and Fire Emblem on 3DS.

Re: Feature: 10 Ways The Nintendo Switch Can Have Its Best Year Yet

In this instance, it wouldn’t be best for Nintendo to follow their “history.” A Switch Pro is a win win scenario. People didn’t think the Pro or X we’re going to happen. They did. Nintendo are now charging for online services. Consoles are mirroring PCs more and more. They didn’t before. We can’t unequivocally say a Switch Pro won’t happen until its official.

@HalBailman I think a Switch Pro is coming this year. Specifically to attract more graphic intense (current gen) 3rd party games and same day releases. It won't divide audience if all systems can operate the game, like PCs, just at varying levels. I'd buy a more powerful Switch if I can play Zelda and NBA 2K at 60 FPS handheld or docked.

Re: Persona 5 Switch Rumours Intensify

If this is a Persona 5 “golden” edition I’m in. I beat the base game, but never completed all the social links. An updated version with more Personas, Palaces, side stories, and secrets would get me back. I want more music too! The “Beneath the Mask” song by Lyn is a video game classic.

While I agree that the analog sticks needed improvement, the Vita's controls were adequate for most experiences. The tiny Switch' JoyCons are worse than the Vita in my opinion. The saving grace for the Switch is the ability to use the Pro Controller and detach the JoyCons for a potential add-on controller in the future.

Uncharted Golden Abyss and Killzone Mercenary were graphical aces and console level experiences on the Vita. I haven't seen much on the Switch that trounces those games yet. I think proper optimization goes a long way. Dragon Quest 11 could've been done on the Vita. Also, if the Vita received enough consumer support, we could be experiencing a real beast of a Vita Pro or something by now.

I’m a day one Vita owner too. So, you’re aware of quality Vita games. My point is, the Vita had enough power to propel it to greatness like the Switch. Unfortunately, Sony didn’t have the Nintendo level brand power with parents and kids. Dragon Quest could’ve been done on Vita. Poor sales wouldn’t allow it.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Christmas? (Special Edition)

Starrebirth

Due to many Holiday sales, I have a mountain of great games to choose from. For Switch, I’ll dabble in Smash, Guacamelee 2 and Okami. I also just received my physical Switch copy of Yooka Laylee from Limited Run Games. Otherwise, I’ll be playing Astrobot VR, NBA 2k19, Devil May Cry 5 demo, Hitman, Horizon Zero Dawn, and maybe others.
