@Azuris Sure it is. They didn’t “turn up” anything else to get the game to fit into the Switch. They lowered graphical fidelity, probably lowered the bitrate for sound quality, tested it a bunch of times in QA and released it after it hit an acceptable frame rate. This isn’t rocket science, it’s games development. Much less math involved.
@Curbie Nope, it’s just not a very “remarkable” process. People are talking like it’s some kind of miraculous feat. No. It’s quite ordinary, stop being blinded by the “magic” lol
@tom_q It’s ok to be realistic. There’s nothing remarkable about any of this. Sure is nice, but remarkable is awfully top shelf when describing bad ports.
@RudyC3 I bought a cartridge a few months ago that someone custom made by physically adding the SA-1 to the games chip board, so it runs perfectly on my SNES. Reasonable price too, it was around $50 after shipping, with good quality.
Dear lord, the arcade version is painfully hard, never got through it. Does it also come with the SNES version? I could 1CC it on Arcade mode, hilariously enough.
@pixelpatch Across all platforms including PC, I have over 5,000 hours in Dark Souls 1, and Dark Souls 2, about 3,000 in 3, around 500 in Bloodborne, probably 1,000 in Demons Souls. 10 hours in Sekiro, couldn’t get into that. Lots of speed runs 😀
It’s fascinating that Call of Duty sells so well in the UK, I wonder why that is? Makes sense For it to sell well in the States, it’s just an interesting stat.
I can remember quite a few bands with computers and other such devices on stage with them. Nine Inch Nails used to be a guy on stage with what was essentially a beatbox, if I remember right.
@WiiHawk Maybe. It would depend on how bad the voice is. Plus, if they ever gave Link a voice besides his shouts and hurt sounds, it would probably be voiced by a woman.

@Bizaster It’s nothing remarkable and is in fact, completely ordinary.

@JR150 Makes you wonder which piece of hardware is more powerful.
Re: Feature: Best Nintendo Switch Ports Of 2020
@Kalmaro I don’t deny that trade off, I just don’t think it’s “remarkable.”
Re: Feature: Best Nintendo Switch Ports Of 2020
10 games that got their graphics settings turned down, and had other assets compromised to be able to accommodate the weak hardware. Joyous.

It’s utter garbage that Cyberpunk can barely run on the NES. Super disappointed.

Dark Souls was top, around 1,000 hours. I only own 34 games. Praise the sun.
Re: Switch Owners "Most Likely" To Own A Rival Console, 2020 Study Shows
@PeteyO I can relate to that sentiment. Modern gaming feels Ike it’s aimed at a different audience.

Re: Monster Hunter Movie Tops The Box Office But Took $15 Million Less Than The First Resident Evil Film
@AlienigenX All video games and movies are cash grabs. They are literally made to try to earn money in exchange for entertainment.

@Danny429 I think they mean there isn’t enough grinding for materials in the movie.
Re: Random: YouTuber Shows Google Stadia Version Of Cyberpunk 2077 Running On Switch
@westman98 Sounds more and more like you have extremely unrealistic expectations. Maybe you’re just too hard to please.
