That and the fact Microsoft are tying their first party next gen games (when they finally come out) to a significantly weaker new gen console which has never made sense to me but maybe it will work out in the long run.
At least the PS5 digital is as poweful as the disc version and once Sony move on from PS4 the first party exclusives could really show off the power of their next gen console and show up Microsoft's offerings.
Switch meanwhile will just keep on doing its thang!
Don't forget the Series S is cheaper than the Switch (proper Switch).
However I don't think the demand is there for that console. Took weeks for its pre-order stock to be used up at least in the UK. I think that console been a misstep by Microsoft and they should have focused only on Series X.
Really strong month for Sony and Nintendo in the US
Switch most units sold in Jan since 2010, PS5 most revenue in Jan since 2009.
Microsoft in a weird position with having two very different consoles with one being $200 less but Xbox seems to be stuck in third in the country where it actually is a popular brand.
Can't judge yet with all the stock issues for Sony and Microsoft that don't seem to be resolving any time soon.
Because you clearly thought the game wasn't worth the score.
You criticise someone's review because they rated it max score despite some issues that they highlighted so people were informed and even called out their credibility. But it turns out you are still going to pick up the game anyway so all that ranting was for nowt really.
But your still gonna buy it and it will still be near enough full price as its Nintendo first party game which will show there is demand for full price ports of previous gen games so nothing changes.
Metacritic is just a collection of a bunch of peoples opinions on a game. Who cares? I mean Resident Evil 4 isn't even the no.1 game which shows how pointless that website is!
My opinion of a game is all that is important to me. 3D World on Wii U was a straight 10 out of 10 to me so the same game with increased speed and an extra bonus game mode means it will still be a 10 out of 10 on Switch.
Stop getting hung up on people liking a game more or less than you whether they be reviewers or someone else.
I think Rise could do well over a million week one, the hype is there for it and it is the first new portable MH game in years. That mixed with the Switch just being THE console right now in Japan I see it selling like crazy.
Nintendo did it the other way around. They released all their old games at full price on their new console.
PS5 and Series S/X do that for free woth backwards compat and usually with better performance. I would rather pay full price for a brand new game also released on old hardware than full price for an old game funnily enough. To be clear though I have bought a number of the Wii U ports on my Switch.
Tropical Freeze costing 10 pound more than it ever did on Wii U! So who is really price gouging?

Switch still killing it.
Now give me a Direct.
Re: Video: Here's Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Looking Stunning In 4K, 60FPS
Will the Switch Pro come with Ocarina of Time?! Kidding.
Issue is even when Nintendo does release the classic 3D Zeldas you can bet you bottom dollar they will remain 30fps.
Pity, as 60fps does make everything better.

No problem with opinions but when you start saying "Boot vs Ant" and "PS5 is like the god" then you got issues bud.
It's just videogames son.

Awk well, I am sure you can find someone who aligns with your views on the game.
Re: Review: Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury - A Superb Mario Adventure With A Bowser Bonus

So you already know you don't need the game so why care how others score the game.

Re: Japanese Charts: Momotaro Dentetsu Stays On Top For A 12th Consecutive Week
@BTB20
Ah OK, I imagine they are stockpiling a lot for MH Rise as well.
Re: Japanese Charts: Momotaro Dentetsu Stays On Top For A 12th Consecutive Week
Is the Switch supply constrained?
88K obviously a great number but a quite a bit of a drop off from previous weeks.
Be interesting to see 3D World's performance next week, I imagine it will easily beat the original game's debut and take the no.1 spot.
Re: Review: Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury - A Superb Mario Adventure With A Bowser Bonus

Go on to your precious Push Square if you want to rant about the PS5.
Also share the names of the people who gave you their word they wouldn't complain about price. Go on, name and shame!!
Re: Round Up: The Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury Reviews Are In
I say the game is a 10 out of 10 and that is just for Mario 3D World.
Re: Review: Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury - A Superb Mario Adventure With A Bowser Bonus
@iulis84
The 7 year old game runs at a rock solid 60fps.
The 30fps is for the NEW open world bonus game and only in handheld mode.
Re: Review: Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury - A Superb Mario Adventure With A Bowser Bonus
Mario 3D World by itself is a straight 10 out of 10 game. Anyone who thinks different? Meh I don't care, do what you want.

Cheers bud, I won't be aiming to 100% the games initially but just get to the end credits with them and will go back if I find the time to 100% them.
Re: Video: Nintendo Shares Bowser’s Fury Co-Op Gameplay Footage Ahead Of This Week's Launch
Bowser's Fury looks class!
Decided I won't be buying the game until I have completed the All Stars games and seeing as I am only halfway through Mario 64 it will be a while yet.

It was and still is along with all your follow up comments as you clearly have no idea what you are on about.
Re: UK Charts: Animal Crossing Stays Top With Mario Kart And Ring Fit Adventure Close Behind
@michellelynn0976
That the best you can do? They are brand new games compared to old games re-packaged with a few bells and whistles.
Stop calling me a "Push Square troll" by the way. I am a Nintendo fan first and foremost. Just not a blinkered insane one.

So there is a benefit to releasing those games on PS4 then?
