Re: Nvidia: Switch 2 Has "10x The Graphics Performance Of The Nintendo Switch"

TYRANACLES

I think the biggest things I’m having to deal with on the new system is the potential price hike of the games and with these big chunky games, physical media you’re probably going to see less and less. These carts just won’t hold some of these games, I do believe I read cyberpunk is all in a cart so that’s promising I guess but how many companies will actually do that. Capcom and Konami I believe won’t. The system has somewhere around 500gb of space so that’s promising will fill up quick, I’ll definitely need at least a tb sd card, not sure what that’ll run these days.

Re: Donkey Kong Country Artist Shares His Thoughts On Kong's New Design

TYRANACLES

Personally change is hard for me to, I was used to the DK we had and still really like that one. I think the Kong Country DK had a more heroic almost Herculean look to him. I don’t hate this one tho it just looks more like Tiny Kong from the past games to me. It’s a bit more silly and youthful. When or if they put diddy beside him I’m not sure how they’ll match up. They’d almost be better off to make diddy the more mature leader Kong. I’m happy with this next game tho, it’s about time we got a return to a 3d game but I also hope they don’t leave 2d in the past as they’re both good. Donkey Kong platformers are right up there with Mario platformers for me. I may even prefer the country series to Mario’s snes outings.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Price Has Been Confirmed

TYRANACLES

Yes it’s concerning to me Nintendo would charge this and the $80 hike on some games could start a new trend. I feel like Indy saying this, “it had to be Mario Kart.” If enough people held off on paying that then maybe things would change but it likely will not happen. I’ll probably hold off but if I’m seeing everyone is playing I’ll likely cave in, it does look great. I know Nintendo is a business but this is scummy for them to set that precedence.

Re: 'Mario Kart World' Looks Absolutely Awesome In Debut Switch 2 Trailer

TYRANACLES

Well I have to give it to Nintendo on this one. In the shadow of the mighty MK8 this game actually looks like it’ll do enough different to be something worth our excitement. The bigger races, open world exploration, and all the customization you can do for each character are all exciting looking really good. What a terrific launch title, this will be a cash cow for Nintendo for years to come. Now if only Nintendo could cook up something fresh for smash bros. Last gen we didn’t get something new to the table for either game, so far we have got a new Mario kart and new donkey Kong. That’s a very good start for this coming gen.

Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment Confirmed For Nintendo Switch 2

TYRANACLES

@Qwiff I second you there. I’m a bit disappointed we aren’t getting that especially after we got echoes of wisdom, I thought maybe we’d get some dlc of a Zelda seperate ways kind of thing. This is ok I guess, I’m not the biggest warriors fan, but I may get it. Hopefully it runs well, age of calamity was a little rough.

Re: GameCube Games Confirmed For Nintendo Switch Online On Switch 2

TYRANACLES

Wow! The GameCube library is great. I have a special fondness for that era because that’s when I was at a point in my life where I could make a little money at my part time job and run out and buy some games with it. That was such a fun time for me and my first ever midnight launch was for a GameCube. Can’t wait to race online with friends on Fzero, throw a buddy into the abyss with link on soul caliber, and wind waker to play with my daughter for her first time.

Re: 35 Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games To Look Forward To In 2025

TYRANACLES

There’s certainly a lot that have my interest on this list. I was suprised to see that lunar remastered had a physical preorder on Amazon uk. I thought I read an article on here that this game wouldn’t have a preorder window for its cart release? The states don’t have it available yet, I really want to get that one.

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Direct Predictions - What Do You Want To See?

TYRANACLES

Call me a sucker but I’d buy up many of these remasters/rereleases many have mentioned and I’d much rather see fresh new games be reserved for the switch 2 even Metroid prime 4. I expect to see prime 4 fit switch showcased, planet robobot, and then I’m sure will get some suprises. I feel the switch 2 will have GameCube games for the online service so I don’t foresee games from there being brought over to switch. Id be most happy to see Zelda windwaker, twilight princess, oracle of ages/time, or a link between worlds, Fzero Gx, Mario galaxy 2, Luigi’s mansion, prime 2 and 3, punchout! Wii. Any of those games would set me on fire but who knows? I’ve never been able to predict anything Nintendo will come up with, but the biggest suprise for me would be to have any suprise at all this late in the switch chapter.

Re: Nintendo Music Adds 23 Kirby Switch Songs, With Rest Coming "Later This Year"

TYRANACLES

That’s a good game. This Kirby may be my favorite Kirby of them all and the music is very good. I also thought it had the most interesting setting. It’s not what you’d think you’d find in a Kirby game. It’s a doomsday world that has been long gone and forgotten, so you see nature has taken over these once great city landscapes. So you have both beauty and despair.

Re: Tony Hawk Has Reportedly Demanded Bam Margera Be Included In New Game

TYRANACLES

I could care less if Bams in or out, why oh why would his exclusion take precedence of them cutting out free roam. That’s actually a deal breaker for many, myself included. The backlash that got you’d think the birdman would’ve swooped out of the nest and pecked the developers into Swiss cheese, but no Bam was a way bigger deal for some reason.

Re: We Really Want To See This Turn-Based TMNT Game Come To Switch

TYRANACLES

@OldManHermit I agree. Metal slug tactics was a major let down for me. I just don’t know how into this I’d be, plus from the looks of it it looks very static in the animation department to me. Tactics games already are a slower moving game but this looks to be in a much lower gear than an xcom. Maybe something more similar to the rabbids games would work better for this

Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Introduces Thrilling Series First "Real Time" Battles

TYRANACLES

Well I’ll give them credit for trying something new here but I’m not much for a dragons age or xenoblade style of combat. Arceus I liked very well, and really the only thing I really missed from the old games in it were the gym battles and maybe a little less easy leveling. I do think Pokémon needs a good shake up to the formula tho, while keeping the traditional games intact with some nice new remakes.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (22nd February)

TYRANACLES

We’ve spent the last day and a half with family celebrating a special birthday but I did get to play a little bit Kraino for the first time this morning and I really have enjoyed it so far. It’s given me a good enough challenge and I like the music. Tonight I’m going to work a bit on snow runner I think. I’ve just recently picked it back up. I may go back and start Alaska. I went straight into Tamyr from Michigan and that was a mistake.

Re: Review: Sid Meier's Civilization VII (Switch) - An Incredible Game That's Not Quite Ready

TYRANACLES

This seems like another case of portability vs storage space, and maybe performance depending on what else you could play it on. For me it’s switch vs Xbox. The last game ran much better in the X, this one probably isn’t as big of a difference from the sounds of it but the big thing for me is I don’t have as much storage on the switch for all the dlc and patches this will get and the switch won’t allow you to play on larger map types. I could maybe pick up the base game on a sale for switch down the road for the portable aspect but first I’ll go with the X and even then only when it gets more dlc to bolster it.

Re: Nintendo "Establishing Ways To Respond" To U.S. Tariffs, Says Furukawa

TYRANACLES

@batmanbud2 I hope you’re right buddy. It’s discouraging to me that over 51% of the population chose these mean spirited thugs to run things in this country. I know it affects me but I’d just rather not even watch the news these days where criminals are freed and made heroes. I hope at least that people will see this was a bad decision and can remember what made this a good country to begin with.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (15th February)

TYRANACLES

I’m on the road this weekend but did play a bit of balatro and wario land 4. I’ll be getting back home late tonight so I hope to finish up Indiana jones and the great circle. I’ve had a great time with it and would like to go back to get some of the collectibles I missed. I’m missing one skill book in the Vatican I had picked up in the streets while running from a nazi horde, I died and the book is now gone but not collected.

Re: Video: We've Played Civilization VII On Nintendo Switch - Here's 15 Minutes Of Gameplay

TYRANACLES

This game has my interest but I’m not sure I’ll like some of the changes. The magnet status every country gets when entering a new era is one thing I really don’t like and picking a leader Togo with whatever country you so choose is a bit odd to me, I guess you get more possible ways to play it but I just like to make the scenarios feel a bit more authentic. Also I don’t care for multiple versions of one leader. I’m sure I’ll get this on down the line when we get more content to play with.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (8th February)

TYRANACLES

I’ve started playing in Indiana Jones and the great circle, so far I’m really liking it. It’s very faithful to the source material for sure. The punches in this game have a very satisfying smacking noise like the movies. I’ll also go back and finish up castlevania aria of sorrow and get the correct ending
