@SearchingS No way that'll happen as FC and SC are two halves of the same game essentially so Falcom will at least release SC Remake on Switch 1 before moving on from the hardware at the very least.
@Bizzyb Honestly I'm shocked as the current times are actually worse than when the PS5 launched economically speaking for the vast majority of the world's population...
@FX29 I'm fairly certain given how many changes they made to this game from its mobile game origins including a MASSIVE overhaul in visuals and a good 70% longer story campaign. It's likely that the game was in development for a couple years, so they were probably already halfway through development of the title by the time the Switch 2 was formally announced and decided to release the game on the originally planned platforms rather than delaying the game by months or longer to start development on a Switch 2 port of the game alongside the planned platform releases.
@HammerGalladeBro Imagine if Nintendo gives us Super Mario Bros. 4 on the NES NSO app as a from the ground up brand new NES game, and maybe an announcement that more newly developed games for the retro consoles on NSO will be released over time?! THAT would actually be my favorite announcement of the direct regardless of what else would be announced! One can only hope and dream lol. π
Edit: In case it wasn't obvious I truly don't think this is going to happen, but it would be AMAZING if it did lol. π»
@Olliemar28 "(And possibly the Switch.)" Uh...definitely something for the Switch 1 as they literally said announcements for the Switch and Switch 2 lol. π
@Truegamer79 No not the same, once downloaded a digital game doesn't require internet while a cloud game does, and oftentimes plays like absolute rubbish unless the place you live in ends in the following abbreviations CA , WA, or NY "at least here in the states." This isn't any sort of political statement btw, its just a fact that most places outside of those states have terribly unreliable and spotty internet when compared to other developed countries.
@beltmenot I have the Maker Yellow Switch Lite as well! I also have a Animal Crossing New Horizons Limited Edition OG Switch "it can't connect to the TV anymore", and a Pearl White Switch OLED! My consoles aren't going anywhere even if I get a Switch 2 eventually!
@donv2135 PS4 isn't the same. You can download the content straight from the disc with zero internet connection. Sometimes even the content updates might be on the disc as well if it's a reprint.
@Spider-Kev Being boring is subjective, but saying the two Zelda games on NES have more content is factually incorrect and a blatant lie. Please be better than that.
@Shade_Koopa No but it's going to price most families out in their biggest market outside of Japan which I don't think is in Nintendo's best interest and they'd know this if the American branch wasn't currently being run by a former EA suit. It's pure greed that will likely make them irrelevant in the region.
@Shade_Koopa Yet people pay a higher percentage of their paychecks because wages haven't even remotely kept up with inflation. The ONLY important statistic when figuring this stuff out is how much do things cost compared to the average person's wages now vs then...
@rjejr IKR I half expect a movie to be released that is two hours of a butt tooting and people thinking it's the most hilarious thing ever. For those wondering, yes I AM referencing a certain movie.
@OctolingKing13 Yeah, if it's not WAY cheaper than PS5 Pro then I think the industry might be in trouble. I can't imagine if the cheapest option on the market was $600+ that we'd ever see 100+ million console milestones ever being reached again, heck 25 million would be a remarkable number in that scenario.
Most gamers would be priced out of the market, so let's hope it's closer to $400 or so.
@Dee123 Didn't most of their descendants get wiped-out in WW II if I'm not mistaken? Then again my state's the worst in education, so I wouldn't be surprised if the world history book I studied in middle school was wrong. π
@sanderev The most recent numbers for Switch are 141.32 million units sold vs. PS4 with 117.2 million units sold. Outselling? Yes, but hardly 3 to 1 lol. π€£
@VHSGREMLIN Physical can't be forcibly taken from consumers by recall. That's voluntary, seizure is the only way physical can be taken by force. The only people forced to do anything are stores removing items from sale in the case of a recall.
The specs are nice, but I'm a bit worried it'll be in the $500-$600 range, if true, pricing many people myself included entirely out of the video games market...
@Croctopus @CartoonDan It's like Nintendo doesn't want people to play online. With how garbage their online servers are I expect half of the players to be banned by the server issues...
