@gcunit almost all of my gaming friends own a switch in addition to a PS4, so I don't think that's really the case here. Then again those same friends also have a Wii.
But the Switch isn't really competing with anything else, like the Wii.
Well this is a remake and not a port so I'll leave that for RE fans to discuss. Those games aren't coming to Switch for the same reason they're not coming to XB360. It isn't powerful enough.
@graysoncharles I wear a size L glove, but several fingers will end up breaking out since my hands and fingers are long but thin. The PS4 controller feels bigger to me for some reason though.
I can also comfortably use an original Xbox controller.
@Samwise7 My friends daughter wanted a switch but didnt know what games she wanted. They got her animal crossing and Mario kart. She just plays Fortnite.
Kids just want things without actually wanting them.
@mesome713 Switch fortnite is the mobile version at 30fps. On iOS it is 60fps. Switch isnt competing at all with PC.
@Gerald I too like the N64 controller. Since getting a PS4 I now prefer that stick placement, and asymmetrical feels a bit weird, and if you stop and think about it, asymmetrical makes no sense.
But I can jump between all of them. Even my beloved N64.
The starter course looks really...dumb? Like what you pretend you're playing Mario 1? When I was a kid I built ships and weapons (mostly with technic) and created my own stories.
@johnvboy the unwashed horde will continue their temper tantrums. Ultimately nothing will change. But I'm glad they focus their energy on trivial non-issues.
Pokemon sells a lot, but real knowledge of it only really applies to those who were kids in the 90s and beyond. Its sales don't imply large culture, as we know people who have thousands of dollars in the series through cards, games, toys, etc. It's a media franchise for children, unless he has kids that are into it (which isn't as big as you think, and assuming he pays attention to it), or he was a kid back then, its very possible he has no idea. I don't know a thing about Disney for example.
In the end, the mistake he made was failing to realize his mic was hot.
@Heavyarms55 Just depends man. My 82 year old grandmother probably couldn't identify a single video game character.
Of course he isnt sorry. Why would he be sorry due to online outrage? He got caught and he's going through the motions required to end online controversy. He make a joke. So what.
@Heavyarms55 in comparison the world you view in a current gen console is about 500mb, so next gen is capable of world and detail 10 times greater. It will be insane, but we haven't seen it yet.
A lot of that is the switch rumor mill disappointing themselves. If you want to play Xbox hames get an Xbox.
Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo are all on friendly terms. Or at least it appears that way.
The loading times on these next gen consoles is going to be insane. How detailed and large a world will be with 5gb/sec load times will be truly something to see.
@Varkster No, your argument is invalid by stereotyping games. If I played the same game I could say Nintendo would ruin the games by making them for 6 year olds.

Re: The Reason Why Nintendo's Games Are So Good? Devs Are Given "As Much Time As They Need"
@JR150 This is really a cop out.
So what are Nintendo games? Mario and Zelda?

Re: Controversial "Adults Only" Murder Simulator Hatred Is Coming To Nintendo Switch
@j_whitfield8 You've obviously never played a COD. Some of them have very good campaigns.
The last one had missions based on the Bin Laden raids and Benghazi.

Played with it for like 3 days maybe. It was quite a waste. Building it took forever.

I love the new COD, but war zone sucks. I think I just hate battle royales. So boring. Just give me small maps in hardcore.

Re: UK Charts: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Slips To Fourth, Only Nintendo Game In Top Ten
@AxeltheBuizel P5R is my current single player game, and MW has been my multiplayer game for 6 months. You can like and enjoy both.
@Noid worked for Hitler
@MasterJay MW 2019 changed quite a bit.
@AnnoyingFrenzy I never played MW2 back in the day, but the remake is great. I thought I didnt like fps campaigns anymore but that changed that.

Re: Nintendo Switch Stock Concerns Grow As Shipping Gets Temporarily Halted In Japan
If I could export my saves to USB I'd probably sell my switch for more and buy one again later.

@Donald_M Leftist as in Marxist-Leninist? Or leftist as in progressive who doesn't own a firearm?
This game isn't leftist. It's actually pretty nihilistic.

Re: "They're Burying Pokémons" Jibe During Chinese Coronavirus Tribute Causes Uproar In France
@johnvboy Don't confuse your 10% Twitter outage culture with the majority. That is one of the reasons Trump won 16.
But your argument is flawed in assuming that the majority means it is correct.

Re: "They're Burying Pokémons" Jibe During Chinese Coronavirus Tribute Causes Uproar In France
@Heavyarms55 I still dont see anything racist there. If you aren't into video games you probably wouldn't know if Pokemon is Japanese.
Re: Random: Stephen Fry Is Somewhat Perplexed By Animal Crossing: New Horizons
There is no point, which is why I find the game miserably boring.

@Heavyarms55 How is this racist?
Re: You'll Be Able To Buy The Borderlands And Bioshock Games Separately On The Switch eShop

Re: Xenoblade Studio Monolith Soft Actually Helped Out With Animal Crossing: New Horizons
@Miles_Edgeworth I thought the same thing and got ACNL. Agree to disagree.
Also Xenosaga 2 was a bit of a mess.

Re: Xbox's Phil Spencer Has "A Ton Of Respect" For Nintendo, But Is Over Rumours About Select Titles Coming To Switch
@Heavyarms55 The switch wont be able to run next gen stuff. 5.5GB/s loading. The worlds will be huge.
Re: Atlus Survey Asks Fans If They Would Like To See Persona 5 Scramble Localised
@RPGamer I'm tired of port begging.
I've been Nintendo my entire life, only just getting a PS4 last year. I'm far from a fanboy.
Re: Atlus Survey Asks Fans If They Would Like To See Persona 5 Scramble Localised
I wish Joker was never in Smash so Nintendo only people wouldn't even know what Persona is.
Re: Modder Shrinks The N64 Down To The Size Of A Game Boy Advance SP
I dreamed of a portable N64 the size of a gamegear when I was a kid. This is next level.
Re: Atlus Survey Asks Fans If They Would Like To See Persona 5 Scramble Localised
@Entrr_username Cost/benefit analysis. Perhaps they don't think it will do well in the west. I don't remember if it did well in Japan or not.
Re: UK Charts: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Sales Fall By 81% In Disappointing Week For Nintendo
@sid77 The new Modern Warfare is fantastic.
Re: Atlus Survey Asks Fans If They Would Like To See Persona 5 Scramble Localised
I assume it will come to the west.
I preordered P5R and didn't get an email...
Comes out tomorrow! Can't wait!

Re: The Definitive Edition Of Xenoblade Chronicles Won't Include Any Extras From The 3DS Port

Re: Reminder: Get Ready For ARMS In Smash Bros. Ultimate With This Free Online Trial

Re: Pre-Orders For Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition Collector's Set Go Live At Nintendo UK Store
Hopefully its on Amazon soon. I'm going to import this.
Re: Switch Has Now Surpassed Wii's Lifetime Sales In Japan
The Switch shouldn't be compared to home consoles. It's a handheld.
Re: Angry Players Are Starting To Review-Bomb Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Valid criticisms.
Re: Mario Project In PS4's Dreams Comes To A Halt For Containing "Copyrighted Material"
@mesome713 and this isn't an anime, this is some kids making little Nintendo skits. And making no money from it.
Re: Mario Project In PS4's Dreams Comes To A Halt For Containing "Copyrighted Material"
@mesome713 They let Phillips.
Also Nintendo couldn't sue Sony. Can Nintendo sue crayola whenever a kid draws a Nintendo drawing?
I had quite a bit of fun today playing Kondey Dong Odyssey today. Nintendo should make something similar.
Re: Mario Project In PS4's Dreams Comes To A Halt For Containing "Copyrighted Material"
@Kalmaro thats not how it works at all with IP protection. Also Sony is not profiting off this at all. There is no monetization.
The Nintendo IPs in Dreams are mostly for memes.
Nintendo is in the wrong here.
That being said there is still a good amount of Nintendo games on dreams. Seems people will just change names to get around that.

@Paraka That's not really true.
