@Mr-Fuggles777

What games do you spend money on?

This is an example of why a Gamepass future is the death knell of good and original games and why personally I hope it falls flat on its face, though unfortunately it seems unlikely.

@Filth_Element

New IP's or just delve into their massive chest of forgotten IP.

A new Wave Race, F Zero, Star Fox, Diddy Kong Racing, Donkey Kong, Eternal Darkness etc would be brilliant.

@screechums

Good to hear!

@screechums

RE6 will be the one I am most looking forward to trying because of its bad rep funnily enough.

@AndyC_MK

Completed Remake, 4 and 5 before the rest will be new (completed the original RE2 and 3 but not the remakes which is what I am playing this time) but they are all in my backlog now ready to go.

Resident Evil 4 is my favourite game of all time, I consider it perfect and play through it a few times each year. When I get to it in my run through I will probably play it through about 4 more times before moving on to 5!

@AndyC_MK

I have decided to play through all the Resident Evil games (0 to 7) before finally playing 8 when I manage to get a PS5. That alone will keep me busy over the summer months!

@AndyC_MK

I think people get too obsessed with what's coming out rather than looking at what is already there.

Between my PS4 and Switch I have hundreds of games I need to play through!

During this past year and lockdown I have not been short on games to play!

@AndyC_MK

Awk just one of those things.

It's only videogames at the end of the day!

@screechums

Aye but you are still talking about him which could start it all up again

Not what I'd call leaving it.

Regardless, I have nothing else to say about it.

Have a good one.

@screechums

If you say you have left it, then actually leave it.

@Tandy255

I remember waiting months for any worthwhile games to show up on Wii U whether they be by Nintendo or otherwise.

It is night and day with the Switch where some hidden gems are released pretty much every week. Especially if people are willing to try something different.

I mean do people just play games 24/7?! Cause my backlog is ridiculous!

@AndyC_MK

Cheers, also quite rare for me! Must be in a zen mood today lol

@AndyC_MK

Trust me I am no mod, been on the bad side of one or two though lol

Ignore button is great, and does no harm to the ignorer or the ignored.

@screechums

I'm not getting into any of that.

You should probably just leave it too to be fair.

@screechums

I agree with pretty much everything Andy is saying regarding Nintendo, but there is no need to get worked up with others here and get banned (I know from experience).

@AndyC_MK

Mate your gonna talk yourself into getting a ban, just let it go.

Alright lads/ladies calm down calm down.

@AndyC_MK

Didn't you know all the game developers had to stop for a year to build all those rides at the park?!?

@NGNYS

Go take a good long look in the mirror and then...........just stay there and stop being weird.

Just dawned on me E3 is actually pretty damn close (lockdowns have messed with my sense of time in the world).

Something to look forward to where I hope Nintendo has a few great surprises up its sleeve!

@AndyC_MK

"ultimately leaves a less profitable position overall"

Not based on these numbers!

@Rob3008

When I buy a new console do I only have to buy games released the same day or after?

No of course not.

Someone buying a Switch now is buying a console with a great selection of games already released which will be new to that person.

Basically the upcoming release schedule aint that important.

@Jamie_R

Expand your horizons. I love F Zero, Wave Race, Star Fox etc but I also love a lot of what Nintendo is doing on Switch too, along with third party developers.

There is lots of great games out there you should try.

Good to see the Labo garage become this.

Also everyone mentioning Dreams, how hyped was that game before it came out and for how long? Very and years.

Nintendo announced this a month before release, do not go in expecting something of the depth of Dreams. This is a cool little game to let people experiment making games and reasonably priced it seems too.

@DrDaisy

This case goes against Apple and it could severely hurt Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft along with it.

There could be serious ramifications.

@ilh

A short game can be much more fun and replayed multiple times, a long game can be a slog and sometimes not even finished.

I have put a hundred hours into BotW, probably put even more into Star Fox 64 which can be completed in an hour and probably put 1000 hours into Resident Evil 4, much shorter games.

I don't put too much emphasis into the perceived length of a game compared to the the cost of it and it is certainly one of my least important factors when considering a purchase.

As I said, I found Mr Fuggles logic weird but that's just me and I appreciate perceived length of a game x cost is more important to some.

Edit: Also I beleive it is fair to compare the cost of games to other entertainment prices such as films or nights out, as they come from the same part of my disposable income (not that you were disputing that).

@rjejr

Cause those F Zero fans (hand up) still likely love Mario, Zelda etc as well?

@Mr-Fuggles777

Slightly weird logic. If those 15 hours are a blast then surely it could be considered value for money. Then you could replay it, especially as you won't be likely to 100% it first time around. And also resell if you buy physical and make half the money back, maybe more.

I could spend a tenner going to the cinema for two hours, or a fiver on a pint that I could drink in 15 minutes.

Games at 40/50 quid offer much better value for money in my eyes.

But you do you.

@neufel

The whole thing is one big mess, but an entertaining one!

@desireefan36

They never went away!

@neufel

To be fair Damo covered it in his article so I deleted my comment!

@Shadowthrone

There are a lot of potential negatives to having Microsoft basically open a store on Nintendo's system that would see Nintendo saying no. I have gone over them before so just search my previous (recent) comments if you want.

Thankfully there is an option if you want to play Xbox games, it's called Xbox (paraphrasing Don Mattrick there!)

Personally beyond cross play and Microsoft releasing the occasional game on a Nintendo platform I think the big three should leave each other alone.

Gamepass or Xcloud on Nintendo or Sony platforms just leads to a Microsoft led future of incredibly uninspired "AAA" games with no competition to worry about as Microsoft will have consumed the other two companies like a parasite.

Whoever wins, we will probably lose.

@Shadowthrone

If the comments were ranked backup368's comment would still be near the top.

Also it is just their opinion, one I agree with, so don't get in such a twist over it.

Blocky McBlockface.

Jeff Grubb is a bit up Microsoft's arse these days to be honest.

Gamepass on Switch aint happening.

Northern Irish dub or gtfo.

@Xyphon22

Think you hit the nail on the head. NES and SNES controllers are simple, moving forward with N64 and Gamecube it becomes a bit more complicated and more expensive and less a mini concept but just re-releasing old consoles.

@BrintaPap

DOH!

Who says it will sell more on PC?!

Far from guaranteed, weird thing to add really.

Edit: Ignore me, I'm dumb.

@TheAwesomeBowser

That precedent was set many years ago.

I am perfectly content with the UI, it is fast and snappy.

This fake video actually makes the UI look more sluggish.

@Citano

I was joking.

@KillerBOB

Good! It's all "Nintendo this" and Nintendo that" on this website and I'm sick of it!!

On a more serious note, get this film released in the UK already Warner Bros. ffs.

Jon Cartwright is a man of taste.

I have been having a blast playing Descenders through the game trial so more of that.

@rjejr

Very simple way of looking at it. I have already set out my reasons why there is a lot of money for Nintendo to lose as a result in my comments above.

I don't see it ever happening.

Great for MHR which will be 2 million physical soon enough but really pleased to see Mario 3D World continue to sell well. Probably my favourite 3D Mario game.

@Heavyarms55

Sorry but it isn't forgiveable for a new game either. In fact I would argue less so as they are developing the game on a current platform as opposed to adapting an old game for new technology.

Wouldn't it be nice if things like this were fixed "before release".
