I simply don't need it, why would I? I'm perfectly fine with the OG model, no issues at all (well, besides the red/blue joycon with that infamous drifting, of course). In fact, I'm more interested in the first Switch revision with that sweet extended battery life. This is about me, though. Regarding my 4 children, mhhhhhh. Oh Nintendo, you sure want my money badly, don't you?
@Mamabear same with Sayonara Wild Hearts, which I got yesterday. Although that one is a more intense affair maybe. I'm sadly skipping the goose because I feel I don't get enough value for money. I'm not short on games though, no problem. I simply can't justify 15€ for 2 hours of content with little replayability. I don't like wasting 15€ for the cinema, neither. But I happily spend 15€ for a big burger and a pint of beer in the pub... Mhhh
The joycon drift is real guys, but it's unlikely the Switch Lite will suffer from this, given the amount of drifting joycon Nintendo has got sent back.
Do you know what causes the drifting? @Damo
It's the stick that scratches on some graphite which they put on the base of the mechanism, producing some graphite powder that, when it lands onto the electrical contacts, causes the drifting issue.
That's why they say some contact cleaner spray helps to fix the issue, at least temporarily.
Good for her, at least she remains within the family. The Treehouse is so nice, I used to enjoy watching it with her and the "Exactly" girl (sorry, I don't remember your name).
My wallet: "Can I have some mercy, please?" Me: "HAHAHAHA"
There are also 2 interesting shmups coming, Pawarumi and Raiden V. I say it because I'm a bit obsessed by them recently. Rolling Gunner released a few weeks ago, Psyvariar Delta had a stealth release last week, now these two. Meanwhile, I'm playing the excellent Steredenn
Nintendo: you love it like crazy, you hate it at the same time.
They do exactly what the article points out, but they keep making great games. I think at this point it should be pretty clear that they'll never change, no matter how much we complain.
You say it, Maker 2 is going to be a blast nevertheless, you'll buy it proving they're right, basically.
Enter the Gungeon.
I'm almost done with the Ammonomicon!
I have to beat the Advanced Dragun and find that pesky weapon, the Quad Laser, nowhere to be seen in 205 hours of game time.
This is my favorite eShop game and forever will be, can't wait to see what the dev team is up next.
Yoshi! I've already unlocked the GB theme in Tetris 99. I'll also pick Shovel Knight at 12,50€. Considering it will raise to 40€ when the last DLC releases, this is the time!
Icons are more important on Switch than other systems because, with the minimalist home menu screen, they are front and centre.
More, I as a gamer am a little compulsive and icons represent my Switch games collection. S****y icon=no buy. With dozens of good games on the system I can well select them also by their icon
If it had zero importance, why would Nintendo release those guidelines? In fact, all Nintendo icons respect them and are gorgeous as a result.
No title? S****y icon, no buy
But what really annoys the most, as the lovely guys on Resetera point out, is the fact all games have a RIGHT icon on the website, a correct one in line with the guidelines, but frustratingly end up with a generic, bad one with no title
Pick GoNNER (70%, 3€), a bit of an underrated gem that was worth full price for me. It's a roguelike platformer with great controls, visuals and music. I have roughly 20 hours on it, though admittedly I've never beaten the final boss
@Krisi yes, they are completely different levels, designed with coop in mind. You can play them solo, though.
Sluggish controls? More about the Pro Controller lag issue, and this is not the first review on this site to misjugde it. You must desync your controller and then resync it, Jon Mundy
@Lizuka yeah, there are no excuses. This has been a disservice for many, many years now. They've become boring to some? Sure, but look at PS5 and next Xbox, they'll have their systems well in place, like EVERY OTHER GAMING PLATFORM on Earth but Nintendo
@lmello hmmm I don't understand. In this very article's title is said the Switch has shipped 34,47 millions units as of march 31th 2019, which is incorrect because it's 34,74.
@Nintendo Life: the actual sales figure is 34,74 (not 34,47). In fact it's 17,79 from same period last year, plus 16,95 this FY.
Which is a bit disappointing, they had a worse 4th quarter with 2,46 millions units sold vs. 2,9 last year. Japan sales were misleading with 44% up in Q4 alone
