@Chunkboi79 Switch have nearly same hardware as Wii U, so it's getting old. The Tegra chip inside Switch were 3 year old when Switch launched in 2017.
Switch have dated terrible considering Steam Deck handheld can run even Forza Horizon 5 and Spider_Man natively. Switch couldn't even run downgraded ports of those games.
It must suck for Platinum to not be able to make a PC version too, as they said love high specced gaming PC's.

I think it's a bit weird that Nintendo releases none of the third party exclusive games on PC too, like Sony did for many years.

@Rainz Hopefully graphics were made in higher quality, so they can release a better looking version on next Nintendo console.

I'm still buying it on day 1.

Pilotwings 64, but i already own it on N64 cart.
Getting Goldeneye on Game Pass.

People who already own Rare Replay on Xbox, will get Goldeneye 100% free to keep forever.

@sanderev Yeah. I did play this game with 2 gamepads alone, but only for 20 minutes or so to see how the game is.
Should have had a online mode or something.

@Falling_Stream Perhaps Switch both versions?
Would be weird if Switch only got the dated N64 version.
Time will tell.

This were announced in 2014 or so for Wii U and will be released 9 years later.

My guess is that Microsoft/Rare did the whole remaster and ported it to Switch.
Sony consoles will of course not getting this game as Sony were never involved with this.

I guess Windows version is included in Game Pass.

@Falling_Stream they have fixed everything. It won't be like on N64.

@Abes3 Sorry for late reply. Takes ages to re-paint my house.

You are saying nothing wrong either. I guess we both summed them up.

@Abes3 Their pricing is all over the place.

They sold a game with no DLC for 60$.
Then the original publisher also makes a physical, selling it including all DLC for 30$.

Then they sell overpriced Collections where the stuff looks like someone made it at home.
They also sell 1$ games for 40$.

@Old-Red There is various reasons, and also how they rip off people.

One of the videos. "The Truth About Limited Run Games"

Example.
They sold a game with no DLC for 60$
Then the original publisher also makes a physical, selling it including all DLC for 30$.

Then they sell overpriced Collections where the stuff looks like someone made it at home in a hurry etc.
They also sell 1$ games for 40$.

@valcoholic No problem. The most crazy is how much Activision is worth vs everyone else. 10-11 times as much as UBI for example.

I don't know if Tencent fully counts as they are also in to medical, music, cinemas, comics and other things.

@Old-Red People should never buy anything from "Limited Run Games".
They have been exposed. There is a few videos about it on Youtube.

I don't know if Embracer will do anything about it.

@valcoholic Embracer / THQ Nordic is Swedish.
Lots of the developers they bought is Swedish too.
Embracer/THQ is the only giant publisher in whole Europe.

People have for years been positive with Embracer purchases, because they revive so many franchises and also made a few proper remakes. Embracer is the only publisher on the planet i think who always gets "free pass".

Microsoft is worth around 65 times as much as Embracer.
Embracer is only worth 50% of Activision. In fact Embracer worth about same as Electronic Arts.

EA or Embracer is the second largest third party, after Activision
In fact EA is worth more than UBI, Bethesda, 2K Games, Square Enix and even more combined.

Activision is worth nearly the same as Nintendo.
Whole Sony including movies and electronics is only worth 2.7 times as much as Activision.

I forgot to check Tencent...They are the 11th largest company on the planet. They are worth more than Nintendo, Sony and Activision combined.

@Zyph FSR even works on NVIDA GPU's.

I have RTX 3070, so i use DLSS and Ray Tracing in games supporting it.
My other gaming PC have GTX 1660 Super which have CUDA cores, but have the newer "Turing" architecture for performance boost.

I think "Vector Unit" would suit better.

In fact Vector Unit made Hydro Thunder Hurricane for Xbox 360, and also made the two Riptide games.

"Limited Run Games" have been exposed as a SCAM company.

I wonder if that will change..

If Microsoft and Embracer don't buy companies, Tencent in China will do.
Who wants China to dominate the gaming market?

@Dringo Yeah. Their developers continues as they always did and is not controlled by Embracer.
Embracer or EA is the second largest third party after Activision.

Great price, but i would play these on Steam Deck instead.

I only miss a old Pokemon theme. Got everything else.

-
Free patch?
Nintendo sure is generous.

I wouldn't be hyped as he have done many failures after Doom.
He also failed with a few FPS'es.

I play it in Dolphin at 4K/60 + Widescreen.

@Gamer83 I care most about Forza too. In fact they are spending over 5 years on F8, and should be superior to F7.

F5, 6 and 7 were not as good as the others as you say. Forza Horion kept the brand relevant during those 3 anyway.

@RushDawg Bayonetta 2 on Wii U is the only GOTY contender i remember and it isn't even made by Nintendo.

@Gamer83 We will see. Starfield and Forza 8, confirmed so far.
My Series X "Pro console" is RTX 3070 / 32.GB / 4.TB SSD / AMD Ryzen 9 5900X.

@Korgon Yes, but Nintendo want exclusive like this even if it wont sell that well. Mario Kart sales pays for it. Gap filling. Anyways. Both Sony and Microsoft refused Bayonette before they went to Nintendo.
Sega had more interrest in PC games in recent time as half of Sega AAA games is PC exclusives. Sega owns 2 of the best RTS companies ever.

I bought Switch for this, but Platinum had some duds so reviews will tell me if its worth full price on day 1 or not. Platinum failed hard with Babylons Fall in 2022.

@Gamer83 Sony and Xbox is weak in 2022, 2023 will be a Xbox showcase.

I own First Print Edition on Wii U, so i have it standalone already. Also own it on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

@Korgon Sony refused to fund Bayonetta 2 and 3. Blame Sony.

It's only fine since it's all on retail cart, not wasting any space on SD besides patches.

@HotGoomba I own Game & Wario Physical on Wii U.

I got Wii U at launch and never regretted it. Bought nearly 80 physical games, and ~160 eShop games for it.
Connected a external HDD, so i could have everything installed at the same time.

Switch is still missing several of the best Wii U features.

@Duncanballs

I still own all the Asterix cartoon movies on retail VHS, and i own all 3D Asterix Animation movies and real action movies on Blu-Ray and DVD.
I bought them when they were released as they would be out of print at some point.
I were a movie collector since 1980's and is why i kept collecting. Nowadays i only buy 4K UHD Discs.

Physical is dying fast and lots of 4K is already out of print too...
When 4K dies, there will sadly be no more movies to buy as 4K UHD will be the last retail format ever.

@Duncanballs I read all Asterix comics in 80's too.
I later bought them all in hard cover version.

@NerdyPandaPlays Yeah, especially Mario Kart which usually sells to 50% of console owners.
On Wii U i think 60-70% bought MK 8. In fact Wii U version were far more hyped than Switch version because of Luigi Stare, YouTube replays etc. YouTube were removed on Switch version.

To be fair Wii U got great support for exclusives, and got custom upgraded Wii U versions of NFS Most Wanted, Tekken Tag Tournament etc. Also. Rayman Legends, Deus EX HM and Ninja Gaiden 3 RE were designed for Wii U, and later ported.
Both Call of Duty games on Wii U. Many other games have a lot of custom features like Mass Effect 3, Batman Arkham etc.

Even with the long list of Wii U exclusives being ported to Switch, people still beg for more Wii U ports in 2022 as some of the major exclusives on it is still not on Switch.

Virtual Boy can't really be compared to any other Nintendo failure.

@Nin10doh
Wii U had a long list of great exclusives, but still failed. I bought Wii U at launch and never regretted it...

• Wii didn't have more power than GameCube.
• Switch is a different version of Wii U hardware.
  Point is. They can't release same Wii U system power for the third time.
  AMD is in forefront of handheld chips now, and Nintendo uses NVIDIA.

Anyways. Steam Deck is not a competitor to Switch at all as it's aimed at PC players who already use Steam.
The hardware inside Steam Deck is almost 2 years old now if you didn't know.
Steam Deck were late to the PC handheld game, but most famous because Valve is behind it.

My point is that Switch is in reality using hardware from year 2012 (Wii U). Time for a upgrade.

@NerdyPandaPlays

Like that helped Wii U and Virtua Boy sales...

@steventonysmith Yeah. I doubt RC will be that good on Switch.
It's Tegra chip were finalized in 2014 and launched early 2015, so it's quite old.
In fact Switch is miles behind Steam Deck too on hardware.

I wonder how Nintendo will solve this.

@steventonysmith Yeah, but Roller Champions have better gameplay.
Fall Guys is very slow paced like syrup, and already lost it's momentum over 1 year ago.

@Arzewn

Too bad it weren't ...65536.. 64K.

Of course Bayonetta 3 wasn't there.

This were released on PC 2 years ago.

I backed up 3DS and Wii U years ago to a HD, and i did the same for Switch so far.

@dres Cloud gaming is very nice for testing games before you install them natively.
Xbox and PC owners also use it for weekly MS rewards.

As for cloud gaming in general. Mass market don't know what input lag is, so they are fine with cloud gaming as it is today.

You are also right that you don't own any game you buy digitally. When store, server and DRM is gone, your purchase is lost.

This is why i pay for Game Pass permanently. To me Game Pass is a cheap game rental service that saved me 1000's of $ in wrong purchases already, and purchases generally.

I still buy games of course, but not games that i know will be on Game Pass.

@Serpenterror Bomberman Online on Switch were dead for years and only supported 8 players. Back in 2019 i couldn't find any match online at all on Switch even with only 4-8 players.

Stadia version supported 64 players in same game and were populated longer than the 8 player version on Switch.

Also. Stadia were never intended to be Netflix of gaming ever, but someone else explained that to you already.
I guess you confused Phantom with Stadia.

Anyways. Fall Guys is 2 years old and lost it's momentum and novelty already in 2020.
Good luck when it finally releases on Switch.

@dres Nice to see someone who actually know what Stadia is. A rarity these days.
It's true that Stadia never were intended to be Game Pass. In fact Stadia is still misunderstood in 2022, I knew what Stadia were from the beginning. It's like nearly everyone got it wrong.
Stadia 1080p/60 have no monthly paid sub.
I had some trials there, so i have 10's of games there and i own 2 premium kits.
F2P Games were always 100% free for everyone on Stadia at 1080p. Destiny 2, Bomberman etc.
Did you know that Stadia last 2 years have been UBI Soft's cloud service for all their games?

The library isn't that good on stadia, because Google isn't willing to gamble. Stadia had bad reputation before it even launched, and it's hard to recover because of the toxic media who had no clue what Stadia is.

In reality, it had best gaming streaming and it MS Cloud barely catched up in 2022.
Microsoft knew you had to go all in to attract people. Microsoft also knew existing Xbox users would get discount for years which is a money loss.
In fact. I had up to 50% discount on Game Pass for nearly 4 years. February 2022 were the first time i started paying normal price for Game Pass Ultimate. I play on PC 95% of the time so.
Cloud for weekly MS Rewards.

The new Sony sub is better than Stadia, but doesn't included 1st party games on day 1 which is a big mistake.
To be fair, Sony lives on Gaming.
Xbox is only tiny part of Microsoft, and MS have endless money stream unlike Sony.
Microsoft were thinking 10 years ahead and went all in.

When XCloud is out of beta, MS will release their Xbox dongle for TV's and market it bigtime.

The biggest joke is actually Switch Cloud.
NVIDIA Shield TV from 2015 streams 4K/60 better than 1080p/720p Cloud on Switch on nearly same chip. Both is Tegra X1, but Switch version is downgraded since 2015 version.

I suspect Nintendo thought the proper streaming part of Tegra were irrelevant for Switch in the future.
Weird that a 180$ NVIDIA box from 2015 streams 4K/60 better than 720p/30 on Switch.
I bought 2 NVIDIA Boxes in 2015 at launch and they came with Gamepads and remote controls for that low price.
Still use them in 2022 as they were ahead of their time for streaming.

@link3710 You don't own any digital game you buy. When store, DRM or server is down.. Purchase lost.

You don't own Control, Hitman 3 etc. on switch either.
60$ for each cloud game and they have way more input lag than Stadia versions on top of terrible picture quality and resolution on Switch vs Stadia.

@link3710 Stadia had more players than Switch ever had.
The game were too old when it came to Switch.
