For how long is this going to be supported?

@Deltath I think that remains to be seen.
I expect it to be buggy and get loot boxes soon enough.

@Deltath It's a knockoff, don't pretend otherwise. It might be a great knockoff, but it still a knockoff.
Sure everything was there before BOTW, but they put it together this way. These guys even kept the same art style!

So glad, I like all of you was worried we wouldn't get the dollar store breath of the wild until next year.

It has not come to switch.
It has come to a streaming service that the switch can access.

@Zuljaras Fallout? There hasn't been one in decades. Elder Scrolls: Wasteland edition, now those they make.

So digital versions wasn't bad enough, now streaming counts as an actual release too?

I am so close to being done with gaming.

@Ponyo404 Bright mode, meaning it's going to turn blacks to greys to get rid of smearing. It does this only a frame or two ahead and only around what is about to change.

I have both OLEDs and IPS TVs, and other devices. The black levels are great on the OLED, the smear is not.

It's cyberverse art, of course that's for little kids.

@Ponyo404 The color black is widely used.
What mode are you using?
An IPS LCD would compete very well, but those are also expensive and rare. I like OLED, but it's not always a good fit.

@Ponyo404 Look up OLED smearing.
Grey to grey is very fast, but black to color is very slow.

Yes, Pentile is inferior to RGB. That's the cause of screendoor, just another problem with OLED.

Panel that size are used in phones, very cheap.

Black smearing is a huge issue with OLED. Better panels do it less, but they all have it to some degree.

@Menchi No, it is the nature of OLED.
Your screens have it too, they cover it up. They jack up the brightness during fast motion and the blacks are no longer black. Turn down the brightness and check it out. To really see it have a black box centered in a white box and that moving around a grey screen. Makes it super obvious.

The panels used in VR headsets are the same size as what a switch would get.

The panel lottery is also real, some will do it worse than others.

@Menchi No, increasing refresh rate makes the smear worse. The panel can't keep up from black to lit. This is a real problem with OLED. This is why increasing the brightness covers it up, because the "black" pixels get lit just a little, so they are on but slightly grey. That means you get those silly grey to grey numbers you are using.

Rift, Vive, OSVR, Helmet Vision, all of those are outdated.
The Rift has been replaced with the Quest 2, which is LCD.
The Vive has been replaced with the Index which is LCD.
Those last two sold about 5 units total.

What headset does 45hz? Per eye? They both refresh at the same time! Some of them use one big panel!
72hz is the Quest and that's the cheapest. 90hz on the second model. The index is the same.

Grey to grey numbers like you are showing are pointless. The issue is the panel being off then being on. Stop falling for marketing.

@Menchi Maybe years ago, but response rate is why all VR headsets are now LCD. Index being the top of the line and still LCD. Motion on OLED is often smeary.

@Kimyonaakuma Really?
The screen is terrible. Durability? What's wrong with it now? I would rather see glass over the display. Scratches are the only durability issue I see.

Please ignore the troll, it's looking for the attention its parents never gave it

@Krull Oh I am sorry only 3 years ago.

And we still don't have metroid prime 4.
It was announced at lauch!

The logistics industry is always looking for drivers.
I don't get playing a game of a job, if you plan to do it well.

Mine would love it. That car would be in deep poo poo.

How much for just the real game and not the silly remaster for kids?

@StuTwo The user experience maybe, but not for devs. Microsoft wasn't trying to kill Nokia, it was just a sacrifice they were willing to make. The new CEO was from microsoft and his only goal was to spend nokia resources to help MS.

It didn't take much dissuading, it was too different and the dev tools weren't there.

@StuTwo Windows phone wasn't backed by Nokia. MS sent a trojan horse to either make Windows phone a thing or kill Nokia. It was what killed Nokia. From a dev point of view it wasn't great.

Blackberry had the illusion of security. When they give the keys to their encryption to tin pot dictators that argument doesn't fly. They used to demand you give them your email password since they didn't integrate with all providers. That's a major security fail.

Windows phone killed nokia, and blackberry was just resting on its laurels with specious claims of security.

@StuTwo Blackberry failed because it refused to provide the devices the market wanted. Windows phone failed because it was trash. No one wanted to develop for this odd ball platform that couldn't do what everyone else did.

@glaemay Is that a joke?
Nintendo get's a cut of all the games, and I can't choose what software to run on my switch. At least with an iphone I can write my own software and install it.

@Andy_Witmyer That's why this is a class action. The lawyers only get paid if they win. So they take the risk and keep much of the money. This is by design. The US system uses this to regulate corporate behavior. It means the tax payer paid 0 and the bad actors get fined.

@doctorhino The DS line wasn't just backwards compatibility. They played the exact same games for generations.

How is this any different than the DS line was?

Keeping backwards compatibility for a long time is helpful in some respects, but kills off the profitable "porting" from old consoles. I use quotes since many are just emulators.

@KingBowser Is that even $1 per console sold in the USA?

@Shamrock No, he would get the same as all the other class members. Go educate yourself.

@nukatha I already did, that's how I know they aren't fixing them.

@Shamrock $120 for all the people in the USA who bought a switch? Should all those people just share?

Nintendo sold a broken product. They keep selling it. Now they refuse to repair them due to covid, even though everything else is open.

@rjejr
That is because the USA has no other form of consumer protection. We don't get long warranties by law, we don't get government branches that go after these companies. Either we sue or we get nothing ever.

@SwitchForce The lawyers in a class action get nothing if they don't win.

@Slowdive Perhaps we could have new games in new series. Not everything needs to be a sequal.

So a remaster of a reboot?

Hot pursuit came out in 1998, then they rebooted it in 2010 and now in 2020 we get a remaster of the reboot.

Maybe new games might be nice.

@Spoony_Tech For the whole CLASS.
They might get $50 total if they are lucky. They claim nintendo harmed every buyer with this action.

@Spoony_Tech FOR THE ENTIRE CLASS.
Good lord, this site is full of children.

@ClaytThaGreat Class action, not two controllers, literally all of them ever sold.

@Blooper987 Class action.

They claim Nintendo stole a small amount from millions of people by doing this, so the amount is the total value of the class's loss.

Are they hacking or exploiting decades old bugs?

At this point any bug left in the game, like the 3-1 infinite lives those are fair to use. Nintendo had 35 years to fix it, can't go claiming they didn't know.

@HeadPirate What kind of airline doesn't have power to the seats?

So you want me to go to the movies before a vaccine is out?
No thanks, hard pass.

Oh wow we can buy toys for yet another port.
I think I will save my money for a new game.

8bitdo already made one, why buy from some no name?

So charging too much for your game makes for less sales which costs you free advertising.

The reality is the market for this kind of thing is saturated. So the rational prices might well go below the cost of production. Welcome to capitalism.

@Clyde_Radcliffe He stole them?
Can Nintendo get mario back? Will they ever be able to make another mario game?

Or do you mean it used intellectual property without a license? Because that's not stealing, just copyright infringement.

@Courageous The issue is a fan was able to do it faster?
Either nintendo is lying or incompetent if it took this long to make.

@Wexter Please do explain how the laws are different.
Google has removed games from android devices. They had malware in them, but they could decide to use that power on any app.

@Wexter Amazon took books off people's tablets.
What you download isn't safe with digital purchases.
