So this is just BOTW with map changes and new objectives? The art looks identical. BOTW was a great game, but I already finished it. Something new would be nice.
@doctorhino How is that different than F1? You can be the best driver in the world, but if the other team finds an exploitable rule in the rulebook you are going to lose. Every competition has people looking for better solutions even if those require creative thinking.
@DavidMac Even a middle of the road IPS would be a massive improvement over what the switch has today. I still don't understand why they cheaped out so much on the panel.
How about any decent panel? The LCD in the switch is crap. The colors are bad, the view angles poor, it's dim and the bezels are huge. OLED panel under glass, just like a cheap phone would be fine.
@link3710 You honestly believe the frame rate can't change after? You have never done any video editing have you? You can speed up video and still present 60 frames a second without dropping frames. You make new ones from the source material. Have you never changed the framerate of anything?
What percent of video game owning household is it though vs the NES? Raw numbers are useless with stuff like this. When I got an NES as a kid adults didn't play video games and they sure didn't buy consoles for themselves.
@Pete41608 I disagree. I got what I wanted, a new and fun paper mario game. That you can't have fun with new things or different things is your problem, not theirs.
@Euler Uh, humans can resolve a lot more than the poor quality 720p lcd on the switch. Just putting a decent display of the same resolution in the switch would be a massive upgrade.
@X-blades Now remove all the games that didn't get a physical release from the Switch count. PS2 didn't have digital delivery and any game that doesn't get a physical release is probably shovelware.

Re: Ubisoft CEO Publicly Apologises For Misconduct Allegations
A nice cheap apology, way easier than actually cleaning house.
The fish rots from the head, this guy should be looking for a new job. He might have never met these people, but he is responsible for their actions.
Re: Review: Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars - Great Ideas Attached To A Rather Humdrum Game
Once again proving ideas are worthless and only implementations can be worth something.
Re: Feature: What's The Deal With Super Mario 64's "Shindou Pak Taiou" Version, Anyway?
@doctorhino If the rule book allowed it, no one would be. The same as all the other engineering tricks that get used.
Re: Could We See Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity At Tokyo Game Show This Year?
@DaWizerd Looking at it, I suspect it shares the exact same textures and assets.

Re: Rumour: Prince Of Persia Remake Won't Be Coming To Nintendo Switch After All
Oh no, we missed out on another rehash of an old game. Yawn.
Re: Super Mario 3D World On Switch Appears To Be A Lot Faster Than The Wii U Original
@link3710 No, just no. You don't drop frames, you make new ones. Good lord, what year is it where you live?
Re: Nintendo Reinstates Pikmin 3 On The Wii U eShop Ahead Of The Switch Release
How exciting more old games.
Re: Puma Looks Ready To Pounce On Super Mario's 35th Anniversary With Some Nintendo-Branded Sneakers
@WoomyNNYes You keep using it. Don't use it and it won't stick around.
Re: Super Mario 3D World On Switch Appears To Be A Lot Faster Than The Wii U Original
@lacaras4 Why would the person speeding it up apply the same speed up to all of the video? Speed up cutscenes would look odd.

Re: Super Mario 3D World On Switch Appears To Be A Lot Faster Than The Wii U Original

1. Video hasn't work that way since the days of film.
2. No speeding up film is not done by dropping frames, nor for digital video.
Re: Super Mario 3D World On Switch Appears To Be A Lot Faster Than The Wii U Original
They sped up the footage to fit the time they wanted for the direct.
I can't see why people are excited for yet another old port. How about a new game?
Re: Feature: So, What Happened To Super Mario Galaxy 2?
#9 it is a licensing issue with their Chinese release. To prevent competing with their customer.
Re: Even At £100, Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit Doesn't Come With A Game Card
So in less than a decade these will all just be useless models. Great, more garbage.
Re: id Software Reveals The First Campaign Expansion For DOOM Eternal
Let me know when they announce they are going to sell the whole game.
Gaming is becoming a total crapfest.
Re: CD PROJEKT Takes On Pokémon GO With The Witcher: Monster Slayer
Since it is going to be freemium crap, no thanks.
Charge me $20 and get rid of all the in app purchases and I would do it right away.
Re: Rumour: New Switch Model Launching Early 2021, According To Taiwanese Newspaper
Even the same resolution panel but less bezel and higher quality would be enough to get me to buy another switch.
I wish I could understand why they selected such a crappy display
Re: Ninjala's Rumoured Sonic The Hedgehog Collaboration Has Been Officially Confirmed
@Ghostchip I loved old school sonic.
Splatoon2 would be a lot more fun if I didn't have to remember to use airplane mode when I launch it. I don't have 5 minutes to waste on the opening.
Re: Ninjala's Rumoured Sonic The Hedgehog Collaboration Has Been Officially Confirmed
Sonic hasn't been a "biggie" in a long time.
I am pretty sure anyone with $50 can license him at this point.
Re: Pre-Order Pikmin 3 Deluxe From Nintendo's UK Store To Receive These Charming Extras
The most charming extra would be a Pikmin 4 instead of another rerelease
Re: Nintendo UK Store Opens Pre-Orders For Cadence Of Hyrule's Physical Edition
If you are already announcing DLC, then include it in the price of the game!
This nonsense needs to end.
Re: Rocket League's Tournaments Are Getting An Overhaul When The Game Goes Free-To-Play
@Moon Not as upset as we are about them taking our money, killing off the game on our platform then giving it away.
Re: Untitled Goose Game Is Getting A Free Multiplayer Update Next Month
Needs a dark souls type invasion mechanic. Another goose comes in and puts stuff back, basically.
Re: Splatoon 2 Version 5.3.0 Update Patch Notes
I like this game, but I almost never play because of the 5 minute presentation that happens before you can play. They need to make that skipable.
Re: Retro Studios Reminds Us It's In Need Of A Lead Producer For Metroid Prime 4
This was announced at launch!
How can it not be farther along?
Re: Rumour: Is The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Taking To The Skies On Nintendo Switch?
I guess ports are cheap and there is market demand.
Re: Yep, The Switch Has Now Outsold The NES
What percent of video game owning household is it though vs the NES?
Raw numbers are useless with stuff like this. When I got an NES as a kid adults didn't play video games and they sure didn't buy consoles for themselves.
Re: Soapbox: After Paper Mario: The Origami King, I Want More Comedy On Switch, Please
TOK is a great game and anyone who can't see that I feel bad for.
It is also a really fun way to get young kids to work on their reading skills.
Re: Commander Keen In Keen Dreams Comes To Switch Again, This Time With New Levels
Way back? Are you 12?
Of course I played it when it came out on floppies.
Re: Random: Nintendo Posts New Image Of Mario In The Sunshine, Internet Goes Wild Again
Nintendo please stop trying to cash in on old games.
Re: Feature: Keeping It Physical In A Digital Age
@Peach64 USB 3 drives are plenty common. Mine will even rip 4k disks. Very handy.
Re: Feature: Keeping It Physical In A Digital Age
If you play games 5+ years after release there is no other option. Digital is always just a long term rental.
Re: Switch Version Of Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time Potentially Leaked By Official Website
@Yanina You are clearly lying. You posted on this webpage with some kind of computer. It might be one that fits in your pocket, but it is a computer.
Re: Switch Version Of Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time Potentially Leaked By Official Website
@Yanina Why don't you?
Right click, view page source, do a find.
Re: id Software Reveals The First Campaign Expansion For DOOM Eternal
How about they reveal the whole game and just sell that. I will even pay $120 if it is two games long.
Modern gaming is a dumpster fire.
Re: Paper Mario Producer Says "It's A Necessity" To Change The Combat System In Every Entry
@Pete41608 I disagree. I got what I wanted, a new and fun paper mario game. That you can't have fun with new things or different things is your problem, not theirs.
Re: Image & Form's New Game Required Power The Switch Didn't Have, So It Did A Deal With Xbox
I can't see how. It looks pretty simple.
Re: Talking Point: So, Where Does Switch Fit Into Sony And Microsoft's Next Gen Landscape?
@Euler A higher quality panel could have lower battery consumption. The same resolution OLED panel would have better colors and use less batter.
Re: Nintendo Switch Sales Surpass 61 Million, Equalling The Mighty NES
@MaxiPareja Also the age of players. Right now people of many age groups play video games, in the NES era only children did.
Re: Switch Software Sales Are Comfortably Beating The PS2's, The Best-Selling Console Of All Time
@X-blades I have to disagree, nothing says the games need to be that big.

Re: Nintendo Switch Sales Surpass 61 Million, Equalling The Mighty NES
@MaxiPareja You do realize that market size is a defined thing right? It has gone up dramatically.
Re: Switch Software Sales Are Comfortably Beating The PS2's, The Best-Selling Console Of All Time
@X-blades Now remove all the games that didn't get a physical release from the Switch count. PS2 didn't have digital delivery and any game that doesn't get a physical release is probably shovelware.
Re: Nintendo Switch Sales Surpass 61 Million, Equalling The Mighty NES
Now normalize the numbers by number of video game players at that time and get back to me.
Re: The State Of The Switch eShop Is "Heartbreaking" Says No More Robots Boss
95% of the games on the eshop should be removed. Do we really need asset flips and shoveware?
Re: Switch Software Sales Are Comfortably Beating The PS2's, The Best-Selling Console Of All Time
Now go look at the list of games and compare them.
The PS2 has an unbelievable amount of games.
