@Arawn93 people are pirating the game while owning collectors editions.
Most of the reason for the piracy is as this site said, they don't want to play this game on bad hardware. People don't want to play a game that looks like xenoblade 3ds in 2023. The game looks great at higher resolutions.
Nintendo never gives bonuses for higher sales.
Not trying to justify anything, just stating that piracy didn't hurt this games sales. Nor did it hurt pokemon last year.
@Ryu_Niiyama you can always move the goal posts, but to have the fastest selling zelda game while it came out two weeks early on PC pretty much invalidates the argument that pirqcy has hurt game sales.
@valharian the frame rate is pretty consistent except immediately after quick traveling.
Unless it's an fps or racing game, 60 fps is fine for me. 30ish on switch games is OK I guess. Doesn't bother me much, but the drops in BOTW, and XC2 handheld were noticeable. As are the ones in SMTV, but it's for such a short period I don't care.
Perhaps it's the soft resolution that makes me not care. Or the short sticks.
@anoyonmus games on PC would hurt Nintendo less than Sony. Most of nintendos money if from their own games. Only a small hardcore minority buys third party games on switch.
Their profit is games, and they'd sell more on PC and their console than just their console.
@ChromaticDracula If you don't know how to use a computer, I guess go for it. My XP laptop from 2005 is just fine too. Put kubuntu on it because XP is too old.
However, the same person who would like a locked down environment generally wouldn't be the same person to buy something as this, as you would wait for Nintendo to resell you your old games.
The fact that you had to ask if this would work on mac is a sign of a problem.

Re: Feature: 9 Switch Games Guaranteed To Get You On The Naughty List
@P-Man the best way to play the old trilogy is picking up the original Xbox ports. They were enhanced already.
Re: Bill Gates Apparently Put "A Lot Of Pressure" On Xbox's Team Leaders To Respond To The Wii Craze
@MetalMan Tetris VR is pretty awesome.
Motion controls are only good in VR IMO.

Looks about the speed as Wipeout, which is slower but more technical. I'll pick it up.

Re: Talking Point: Great Game, Poor Performance - When Does A Bad Frame Rate Not Really Matter?
@valharian the frame rate is pretty consistent except immediately after quick traveling.
Unless it's an fps or racing game, 60 fps is fine for me. 30ish on switch games is OK I guess. Doesn't bother me much, but the drops in BOTW, and XC2 handheld were noticeable. As are the ones in SMTV, but it's for such a short period I don't care.

Re: Nintendo Adds To Switch Online's Expansion Pack Tier With Paper Mario 64, Out Next Week
Pay an extra $30 a year, or pay $0 a year for upscaled in retroarch. Hmm, tough choice.
Re: Shin Megami Tensei V Is Getting Its First Update, Here Are The Patch Notes
@Mr_Fox I only notice the dips immediately after fast traveling. The games performance doesn't bother me, and I play most games at 1440/144.
GOTY for me, and IMO second best switch game behind XC2.
Re: Digital Foundry Continues GTA Trilogy Analysis, Sets Switch As 'Bottom Tier' Version
@Darkyoshi98 yep. And sales won't make bad games any better.
Re: Nintendo Of America President Joins PlayStation And Xbox Counterparts In Criticism Of Activision Blizzard

Sony is being sued right now too. I expect that same to happen to both MS and Nintendo next.

Re: Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack Release Date And Pricing Revealed
@Postie85 Hook a PC up to your computer. use an Xbox controller as a remote with steams desktop config. Welcome to the future.
Re: Switch's N64 And Sega Genesis Controllers Are Now Up For Pre-Order
I'll have to wait for a restock. No surprise the 64 sold out in NA.
Hopefully the price goes down a bit. Remapping n64 games to an Xbox controller isn't perfect.
Re: Nintendo's Switch Exclusive Metroid Dread Is Already Being Emulated On PC
@anoyonmus they're a profit driven business. If they haven't looked into it yet, I'm sure they will be after Capcoms statements.
Re: Nintendo's Switch Exclusive Metroid Dread Is Already Being Emulated On PC
@anoyonmus games on PC would hurt Nintendo less than Sony. Most of nintendos money if from their own games. Only a small hardcore minority buys third party games on switch.
Their profit is games, and they'd sell more on PC and their console than just their console.
Re: Review: Tetris Effect: Connected - Mizuguchi's Masterpiece Finds Its Ideal Platform
Great game, but you're missing a huge aspect of this game without VR.
Re: Nintendo's Switch Exclusive Metroid Dread Is Already Being Emulated On PC
Nintendo should make official releases on PC to prevent this.

Re: Another Fan Claims To Have Reached Nintendo Switch's Maximum Hour Count
@Stocksy our culture infects the world. So much so that the west has little of its own.
Also, this is the English speaking english:

Much like atari was over taken by Nintendo, American English has superseded British English.
Did you know: the American South actually speaks British English, but slowed down? We typically call it hillbilly speak.

You could always go to linux, but stick with mac.
Re: Hardware Review: GB Operator Lets You Switch Between Game Boy And PC With Ease
@ChromaticDracula you don't play games on mac, you just over pay for hardware for brand image.
