@Anti-Matter I have that case and hate it, holds the game cards too tight. I now use a PowerA case. Holds the same amount but uses a soft rubber inside, instead of plastic clips.
@HobbitGamer "...there also is no accessibility for color-blindness spectrums in many games including this." — Actually there is a system-wide accessibility option for color blindness. Go to the settings on your Switch and turn it on. EVERY game will display either in invetered colors, or monochrome (depending on which option you chose).
@Richard_Atkinson You can use a Joy-Con. Forcing motion controls isn’t what’s "tempting" people to buy a Pokéball Plus. What’s tempting people to buy it is the fact it comes with Mew.
"Luckily for Nintendo, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate remained a secret right up until it was officially shown off, allowing reveals such as the complete returning roster and newcomer Ridley to be great surprises for fans." — actually there were rumors going around that Ridley was in the game. Only the complete returning roster was a surprise.
@TheOpponent I also don’t like that they charge you in advance, before the game ships. Who does that? You couldn’t get away with that in any other business. "Pay for the car now, and I’ll delivery it when I feel like it", "Pay for the house now, I’ll let you move in some time later". So ridiculous!
Bought Oceanhorn when it first came out on iOS for $8 and never finished it. Even with a MFi controller, it was hard to control. Too easy to fall off steps, kept annoying me.
@Damo The title of the NintendoEverything article CLEARLY says "The Pokemon Company clarifies plans for online in Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu / Eevee once and for all"
I’ll repeat myself, having The Pokemon Company speak to anyone other than Eurogamer isn’t good enough. Famitsu is a well known Japanese publication, I guess this means nothing.
Now stop trying to defend Ryan, he should have fixed the article appropriately instead of just adding a little bit of extra text but still reject it in the article after I mentioned it to him.
Don’t lie to me and say there was no info at the time, because there was. How dare you continue this charade! Instead of just letting it go, you just had to continue to annoy me.
@Damo So you think eurogamer is more credible than NintendoEverything? Because NE is what said online is a yes, but Ryan didn’t believe it. Yet Eurogamer says online is a yes and this article is created.
@Heavyarms55 I’ve never had a problem with Rocket League, that game runs buttery smooth on Switch. They also use their own servers. I only seem to experience issues with first-party games.
@Heavyarms55 Remember whenNintendo first announced the service, and said we’d be trying it out until the paid period starts? Well the crappy internet you’re currently experiencing is what you’ll get when you start paying for it. You’ve been experiencing it this whole time.
"One final answer of note mentioned that there are no current plans to make use of the upcoming Nintendo Switch Online service in these titles." — other outlets say online battling is a thing and will require the paid Online service.
@Menchi187 I’ve bought more games year one for Switch than any other previous console. It doesn’t have a drought of games, if anything it has too many games (not that it’s a problem, because it isn’t)
Getting a real projector and using it with the official dock would be preferred over this 3rd party unit that not only blocks the vents on the back, causing overheating, but could also brick the Switch.
When I went to the website, there were two Miis. The one I created and one I’ve never seen before. I deleted the second one, and I have no idea how it got there.
Although cool in theory, I can't imagine the coat being very comfortable to wear with all that gear in it. The funny part is when he suggests trying it with the PS4 Slim at the end of the video, because not only is it bigger than the Wii U, it's heavier too.
For Agitha, Midna, and Zant it says "First Appearance Twilight Princess (GameCube)" but the GameCube version came out a month after the Wii version did. So you should change that to say "(Wii)"
@cleveland124 Also that upgrade fee was optional. Nothing was stopping you (after doing the Wii Transfer) to continue to play all your VC games for free by booting up the Wii menu on your Wii U. You only had to pay to upgrade to play on the Wii U menu (and thus also use the Wii U gamepad). So not only are the game none transferable to the Switch, but you have to pay monthly. And if you only want a single game (as I mentioned) then it makes the cost even more ridiculous.
"Would be nice not to have to pay for them all over again, wouldn't it?"
No, it wouldn’t be nice. You now have to rent the game forever. That single NES game you want that used to cost $5 on the Wii will now cost you $100 over the course of 5 years at $20 a year.
I wish Nintendo bothered to add extra value in DK. It’s the first port that isn’t a "deluxe" or "definitive" or anything else. Nothing extra is included except for an easy mode (Funky Kong) and for that they want an extra $10. The Wii U version retailed at only $50 (although now you can get it for $20). Why is the Switch version $10 more at $60?
@cleveland124 If 8 GB isn't enough space, there's always the 16 GB option. Even if they had to charge an extra $10, it would be worth it to have it all on physical. The X collection on PS4 and XBone come with TWO discs, why couldn't they include 2 Switch cards? It's such BS.
You do NOT need a universal achievement system to have achievements in a video game. There were achievements in games before Xbox and Playstation was even a thing.
@Dethmunk We all thought it was custom, but turns out it’s not. The hackers found the exploit by looking it up in the specs manual NVIDIA provides its developers.
At first I didn't think this game would be challenging based on the demo, but after playing the retail version for a few weeks I can say that the challenge lies in the red puzzle pieces. Though the ones in the early levels are hidden in pretty straight forward locations that you really can't miss, the later levels hide them better. Finding the little hidden locations is quite enjoyable.
So whilst the gameplay may be the easiest in any Kirby game that I've played, there is still something in the game to hold your interest. It's not as rudimentary as Sonic Forces, now that's a game I regret buying 100%. Nothing redeeming about that one.
It’s interesting how standards change over time. On the Sega CD this was given an M rating, but last year on PS4 it was given a T rating. The difference 25 years make.
How does one get their score on Twin Galaxies? I’ve had quite a few high scores in several games. Would I just be able to take pictures of my old scores, or would I have to video tape myself trying for a new score? Also is there a point (other than bragging rights) to have your score on TG? Do you get money or anything?
If they released that with HD graphics, I’d buy it in a heart beat. Any other game, I’m fine with playing at home on original hardware. But having NIGHTS be portable would be amazing. My favorite game on the Sega Saturn.
One of the creators was on YouTube live stream last night, got to hang out with him for a while. Izzy said since he’s a big Nintendo fan, he’s making the Switch version the "definitive" version.
Also this month it’s free on PS4 and Vita if you pay for PS+
