@nessisonett Why? You don't have to like both game series. I love the "standard" SMT games, but I have never been able to finish a Persona game, since I find them boring and tedious.
Wait, aren't there two USB ports on both models?
Edit: Ah, the old one has one on the back as well. But now that I think about it, it looked like one on the inside, when they showed the graphics for how the LAN cable is plugged in, next to the HDMI port. Apparently, that was something else.
@Large-Kelpfries I just pointed out that capitalism is a system for how the ownership of the means of production is distributed. The fact that a worker can become a capitalist (and vice versa) is irrelevant here.
This is not capitalism, he is "working" in his own business. In capitalism you have capitalists making money owning the business and workers working to feed the capitalists.
It would make sense if the printing company was punished somehow for breaking the contract with Gamefreak, and then the people at the company should probably be fired for not doing their job properly? Suing the people directly sounds unfair.
I didn't really like Samus Returns, but this looks great. And yes, the melee counter is a bad mechanic that breaks the flow of the game, but look at how fast Samus is here. Can't wait.
The problem is when gaming sites, like Nintendo Life, shows a leaked game, like the new Mario and Rabbids, right in the headline HOURS before the reveal. If you just say "Wow, a huge game just leaked!", then we can decide for ourselves if we want to see it or not.
Preordered the physical version after reading the review, since the first game seems to be an OK port! Seems I'll replay Razor's Edge on the Wii U though, if the port is that bad. It'll be an interesting comparison anyway.
@Shepdawg1 Probably not. A) The game gets way more attention this way and B) This is a statement that builds a very special image of the developer and/or publisher.
@Luigisghost669 No, it's like somebody else makes a chair exactly like yours. It could hurt you if you were planning on selling the same design again. Otherwise not.
@BloodNinja The thing is, they needed to make the Switch both portable and at a low enough price point. This was obviously a perfect compromise, given how well the Switch has sold.
@Poodlestargenerica I definitely see the demand for an upgrade, I just meant that the production is already running at full steam, so the only way to increase profit by introducing the New Super Nintendo Switch Pro would be if they had a better margin on that one than the current, which I highly doubt. But maybe they are already forecasting a decline in Switch sales, in which case this could be a clever move anyway. Maybe. I'm still sceptical and would not be surprised if all those rumours are based on actual plans by Nintendo, but that they are holding back a release of the new version due to the success of the current one. We'll see.
But why? I mean, they already sell more Switches than they can produce, so what would be the point of releasing a new system, businesswise? Can someone who believes the rumours (or anyone else) explain?
About time. I suppose what held them back before has been that it takes a lot to combine enough power with small size, a good screen and a low enough price.
The problem with these types of suggestions is often that the algorithm can't really see what the common factor is binding together my favourite items, whether it is a question of music, films or in this case favourite games such as Monster Hunter, Captain Toad Treasure Tracker, No more heroes, Dark Souls, Picross S, Xenoblade, Hades and Zelda.
If fast travelling from anywhere made the game better, it would have been there from the start. It's not something made possible by porting the game to the Switch. I think it's dumb, locked behind amiibo or not.
When something is out on the internet, it reaches an enormous amount of people. While it's true that a very small percentage of people are *****, you will reach a pretty large number of them. So, yeah, these things happen all the time and when they hit you, just remember this is just the way things are on the internet.
I think it's a given that you should rate the game after how well it accomplishes what it sets out to do. It shouldn't be that difficult. Giving this game a bad score because you find it too boring and tedious is like giving a Kirby game a bad score because you think it's too cute. And you didn't even mention mechanics that let's you speed up time... I give this review a 1/10.
@Kiz3000 Hm, I didn't associate her picture with sex, but in general you're right. And it's not really a question of using sex to sell, it's more about the role that women need to take on in order to have a public platform.
@echoplex It should be compared to other non-ultimate Monster Hunters without G-rank, but evenso it is easier in many ways, especially since your own speed and agility is increased a lot, while the monsters are not really updated in the same way. Today's new update adds quite some challenging quests though.
@Realness Agreed, but you only need to do two rampage quests iirc, and I suppose all apex monsters will be available outside of rampage quests starting tomorrow.
@VoidofLight The main difference (after you get the sword) is that the saves were "quick-saves", i.e. deleted after you load them again, so if things didn't go as planned, you still had to play the song and go back to the first day again.
@VoidofLight I understand, and it's a trade-off. But even in the original game, once you get past the beginning of the game, you can use the owl statues to save anytime.

Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD - A Remaster That Truly Soars
@MadeOutOfCake Most people have no problems with them, but if, say 5% do, they will definitely make their complaints heard.
Re: Atlus Has Seven "Project" Reveals Planned For Persona's 25th Anniversary
If there's anything Switch related I can only imagine Q or Q2. But a Switch version of P3 would be nice.
Re: Round Up: Here Are The First "Hands-On" Impressions Of The Nintendo Switch OLED
@Dm9982 6-9 months is probably way too early. My guess would be 2 years, depending on how well the current model(s) sell of course.
Re: Nintendo Plugs Its NSO Zelda Games Ahead Of Skyward Sword HD's Release
@HotGoomba It's a Zelda too 😥
Re: Nintendo Plugs Its NSO Zelda Games Ahead Of Skyward Sword HD's Release
@HotGoomba I don't really get the joke here... Is it a thing to not consider Zelda 2 a proper Zelda game? Or is it just you?
Re: No More Heroes III Now Has A Collector's Edition And Deluxe Edition
Got the Killion dollar trilogy ordered, so I'm good.

Re: Poll: What's The Best Metroid Game?
Best: Super Metroid and Prime 2
Worst: Other M (because of gameplay, design, controls, autoaim and sensemove. There are a few good bossfights though)
Re: Soapbox: It's The Summer Of Visual Novels On Switch, And It's Just The Beginning
Normally not for me, I usually fall asleep, but I liked DDLC. I will probably try Danganronpa as well.

Re: Back Page: The Ten Best Crabs On The Nintendo Switch
Well, I definitely think the crabs in Fight Crab deserves a number 2 spot on this list!

Re: 'Castlevania Advance Collection' Possibly Revealed By Rating In Australia
Played them all on the Wii U, but might have to get them again. Great games, all three (but we all know which is the best).
Re: Suda51 Reveals Save Data Bonus For No More Heroes III
@MrGawain I saw it without logging in to a YouTube-account.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of Nintendo Direct At E3 2021?
@Bizaster Sounds interesting, I'll keep a look out when it arrives. Thanks!
Re: Yes, The Samus Returns Team Helped Nintendo Develop Metroid Dread
I didn't really like Samus Returns, but this looks great. And yes, the melee counter is a bad mechanic that breaks the flow of the game, but look at how fast Samus is here. Can't wait.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of Nintendo Direct At E3 2021?
@Bizaster I know very little of Danganrompa. Could you say something about it? It's always great to hear about these things from a fan.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of Nintendo Direct At E3 2021?
My favourite game series are Monster Hunter, No More Heroes, Shin Megami Tensei and Metroid. I don't think I'll ever see a better year for gaming.
Re: Roundup: Here's What Was Revealed In Nintendo Direct E3 2021
WarioWare! Metroid Dread! This Direct was a 9/10, still missing some Bayo3.
Re: There's A Zelda Game & Watch Coming This Christmas
@garfreek Because multi-screen (and something else presumably, since they did the same with the super mario one).
Re: Nintendo Ambassadors Are Receiving "Extreme Excitement" Packages Ahead Of The E3 Direct
@iuli Totally agree. But they already just spoiled one of the games, so I'll just keep off internet for the next ten hours.
Re: Talking Point: E3 Leaks Are Inevitable, But Do You Actually Want To Know?

Re: Mario Golf: Super Rush's Split-Screen Will Be Restricted To Two Players Per Switch
@ReWane An eagle as in two less than par? That was a clever joke that took a while for me.
Re: Random: Remember That Zelda HD Tech Demo For Wii U? It's Now 10 Years Old
@Decapre Financial mistake, gaming success.
Re: Shin Megami Tensei V Release Date Seemingly Leaked Ahead Of Nintendo's E3 Direct
November sounds perfect, gives me time to finish both the Nocturne remaster and the fan‐translated original SMT.

Day one for me. It looks great, I hope I'll get used to the supposedly too compressed sound.
Re: Video: Game Boy Advance On Nintendo Switch Online? Here's How It Could Look
@Ghost_of_Hasashi The 3ds was not powerful enough to handle GBA emulation. The ambassador games ran natively, in DS mode.

Re: Review: The Longing - Tedious By Design, And Incredibly Successful At It
@StuartGipp Oh, you're right. So I give my reading of your review a 2/10. And it makes the review really close to a 2/10 as well.

I think it's a given that you should rate the game after how well it accomplishes what it sets out to do. It shouldn't be that difficult.

Re: Anniversary: The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask Is Now 21 Years Old In Japan
@VoidofLight The main difference (after you get the sword) is that the saves were "quick-saves", i.e. deleted after you load them again, so if things didn't go as planned, you still had to play the song and go back to the first day again.
