@KiraMoonvalley I have a Vita, but I haven't found many great games for it, apart from the obvious choices like Muramasa, Soul Sacrifice, Freedom Wars, a handful of JRPGs and a few collections of PS2 ports. Do you have any suggestions for games to look for while I can still buy games for it?
I used to voice chat in MH3U on the Wii U, but there were already lots of other data streaming between the gamepad and the system, so adding audio didn't make much difference.
Too many games this year! But yes, I got it. My only complaint is that Wario's voice acting is mysteriously missing in the English version! It was so good in the Japanese version!
@RasandeRose To me, the short length was not much of a negative. And I think being lightweight is partly what made it feel fresh. But yeah, it should be easy to find on sale.
@mr_somewhere Yes, and busted amps is admittedly a better analogy than saxophone solos. I also think this game is much better than NMH2, partly because of the inclusion of an open world. Not to mention FU is one of the best villains in a video game ever!
It's a wonderful game. As someone said, complaining about the framerate in the open world sections of a NMH game is a bit like complaining about too many saxophone solos at a jazz gig. Maybe jazz just isn't your thing, right?
@TaterSlap69 It's a really good game, also on Switch. It's not a goood-looking game as it was on the PS4, and sometime jus it looks a bit like a PS2 game (well... a good-looking PS2 game at least). But yeah, it's the same game, just a little uglier.
Yes, this is one of the best games on the Switch! And finishing the extra missions after the ending is a really fun challenge. Regarding the story, it's really crazy and a lot of fun, with maaaybe one too many plot holes.
There are hundreds of fun little GB titles outside of the well known classics. The scheme they are following with the NES/SNES online, of releasing games nobody asked for, would work much better with GB.
@ItsjustAnotherGamer The similarities are obvious, and the way you put it makes it even more so. But still, they do have different psyches and motivations. If you would put a Deadpool skin on Travis in the game, would it be a believable Deadpool game? Actually... kind of. Ah well, maybe it's mostly their appearance and style that sets them apart?
@TheFrenchiestFry All right, but he is still a different kind of loser. Travis doesn't have that type of traumatic background. I'd say Travis is less sympathetic and more of a creep. Maybe that's not the right way to put it, but I would definitely object to them being the same character.
I'm pretty sure Nintendo are the ones keeping the lid on Bayo3. It's an important title for Nintendo's image and to cover an important customer group, and they want to make sure it gets the attention when they decide to show it off.
@FargusPelagius The games releasing? You mean games in absolutely wonderful franchises such as Monster Hunter, No more heroes, Metroid and Shin Megami Tensei? The Switch is still selling like crazy, so Nintendo won't retire it any time soon. As for future hardware, whenever that might be, you might be right, Nvidia could be the right partner. Time will tell. But I'm pretty sure they'll make a hybrid handheld/console to replace the Switch, that concept is too good to abandon.
@FargusPelagius Yes, well, that's not going to happen, and the best graphics to be found on a Nintendo system now is on the Switch. So I'd still want that. They can release X3 on their next system.
Hopefully a sequel to X! Such a fantastic game, and it ended on massive cliffhanger. And I hope they're capable of making a game that good-looking again.
@BloodNinja My favourite game series are Monster Hunter, No More Heroes, Metroid and Shin Megami Tensei. So this year is and will be pretty busy for me at least.
@steely_pete It's not a problem for the company, except It's more difficult to raise capital by emitting more stock, and they become more vulnerable to a hostile takeover (not much of a risk in this case). It is a problem for the owners of the company, however. It is a common situation that the interests of a company clash with the interests of its owners.
@Ralizah I think the people who associate these graphics with PS2 games have just not seen much of this artstyle since the PS2 era, so in their heads it's natural to make the quick "looks like a PS2 game" connection. Maybe I'm wrong. Anyway, the game looks fantastic!
Maybe. Anyway, they won't be able to replicate the fantastic controls on the Wii trilogy (you have to max out sensitivity in the settings btw), but it would be cool to have a teaser of how the controls will work in Prime 4. Hopefully something like Splatoon 2.
You should really compare it to the non-OLED Switch, because this has an LCD screen. 400 is still good compared to 300, even though you're also paying for a more polished design, cool joycon etc. with the Switch.
Since internal memory + sd card is the only way to play the games on the Steam deck, I suppose there will be a lot of switching out the games you want to play. I hope they have figured out a good cooling system that is not too noisy. I like the idea, but I'll wait for reviews and consumer reports, there are still lots of question marks here.

Re: Dragon Quest XII Is Being Co-Developed By Square Enix, HexaDrive And Orca
@MailerBen So the joke is that some people thought Nintendo would release a new system with upgraded performance instead of an upgraded screen?
Re: Monster Hunter Rise Adds Mega Man's Rush In New Collab
Really cool, too bad I never use palamutes.
Re: The 'Castlevania Advance Collection' Has Been Rated For Switch In Taiwan
I have them on the Wii U, but all three are great so they deserve to be played by more.

@Lord What other Intelligent Systems IP:s would outsell Warioware in a blink?

Re: Rumour: It Looks Like Nintendo Will Soon Unveil A New Controller For Switch
@InJeffable The point with a gameboy styled controller would be to use it in handheld mode.
Re: Poll: Cruis'n Blast Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
@Quarth Swedish Amazon sucks, use German or French Amazon.
Re: Random: This Amateur Coder Is Creating The 'GBA Remix' Nintendo Should Have Given Us
The NES remix games were absolutely brilliant! Please, Nintendo, do the same with GB, GBC, GBA and N64!
Re: Poll: WarioWare: Get It Together! Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?

Re: Rumour: Switch Will Reportedly Receive A Price Cut Ahead Of The OLED Model's Launch
@Vexx234 Well, the OLED screen is the whole point of this upgrade, that's why it's called that and not the "Super Switch" or something similar.
Re: Review: WarioWare: Get It Together! - More Magnificent Microgame Mayhem
@UglyCasanova It's more of a single player game anyway.
Re: Review: WarioWare: Get It Together! - More Magnificent Microgame Mayhem
Ah, the Japanese voice acting for Wario in cutscenes is really good! Is there an option for Japanese audio?
Re: Digital Foundry Explores The Two Sides Of No More Heroes 3

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 4th)
@VIIIAxel RER2 is really good in coop, but I agree when it comes to solo play.

No more heroes 3. Wonderful game!
Re: Play Detective In Outer Worlds DLC 'Murder on Eridanos', Landing Next Week On Switch

Re: Platinum's Switch Exclusive Astral Chain Celebrates Its Second Anniversary

Re: Nintendo Switch Cheat Device Speeds Up Pokémon Shiny Hunting, And It's Proving To Be Controversial
I'm not quite sure I get the point of this. Is it so that you can make other players believe you have put in more hours than you have actually done?
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles Voice Actor Says She 'Thinks' Another Game Is On The Way
@FargusPelagius Sure, sales of the Switch will drop when the games cease. I still believe it has a couple of years left.
