I love Streets of Rage 4! But the first River City Girls has a hard time convincing me to pay €30. The gameplay does look like fun. In case of a 50% sale, I'll bite.
Yes, I know, Nintendo said no more Zelda 35th anniversary stuff this year. But I'm still hoping for WW and TP HD. A holiday release would be perfect imo.
I would love for the Switch menu too look that way, but with the current Switch hardware, I think that navigation speed would suffer. Maybe in the next version of the Switch? For now, I'd settle for folders.
@thinkhector
I use the Samsung Buds + The volume is ok, but I want them to sound louder, like on my phone. The connection also stutters sometimes and there is noticeable latency. I guess we can expects small firmware updates soon.
I absolutely LOVE THIS!!! Thank you Nintendo. FINALLY!!! But the volume is way too low. Even with the maximum setting disabled. No need for Nintendo to be concerned with the well being of my hearing. Crank up the volume!
@Hav
I've got a bit more free time on my hands lately, but yeah, I know the situation of working a lot and squeezing in some time to game. I usually revert to platform games where I try to finish two or three short stages a day.
GB games will be a nice addition to NSO. I'm looking forward to the Mario Land games especially. But somehow I feel that Nintendo would be cheapening the deal by omitting GBA games. That may sound entitled, but it just seems logical to me to reintroduce all Gameboy versions at the same time.
I'd love for The Simpsons arcade beat-’em-up to be re-released. They wouldn't have to do anything to the game except for changing the aspect ratio from 4:3 to 16:9
@ITATTRACTS
Yes... I know... If the DLC is unavailable, then why make press statements about it's release and advertise it in-game? There's a issue and I'm curious to know what it is.
I still can't buy/download this DLC. When I use the eShop link/referral from the main menu of the game, it connects to the eShop but then gives me error code: 2811-6002. "There are no products being distributed at this time." Apparently I'm not the only one having this issue. And it's been over a week.
@KoRn1619 Although my harsh complaining (#256) I do understand your point. But I would like to know how many of these unknown games you actually like. There are sooooo many new games releasing nowadays, and sooooo many good classics available (hardly any of which Nintendo is officially re-releasing), personally I'm not willing to waste my time on the off chance of finding a somewhat enjoyable but highly forgettable game.
Seriously.... WHO PICKS THESE ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS GAMES!?!?!?!
I don't play online games so I have NSO just for cloud saving. With the disappearance of the Virtual Console (with games for which I PAID!!!) can I please get some GOOD retro games on the Switch?!?!? Come on Nintendo....you are totally BS-ing us!!!!!
I have a list of about 30 NES and SNES games I want on the Switch. Not even mentioning N64 and GC games.... It's like Nintendo is begging us to pirate retro games.
@Joeynator3000 Same here. I only game on my LG C9. The static elements of the games I play should have been burned in by now, but that's not the case. Current OLED tv's have all the necessary technology to help prevent this issue.
More and more 3rd party games are sub par when it comes to resolution and frame rate. The Switch needs a beefier SoC and more RAM !! But with current sales figures, I doubt that Nintendo is considering a "Switch Pro" any time soon.
The original dock is way overpriced so this new one will probably be too. If current Switch owners want an ethernet connection, a USB dongle is far less expensive then buying a new dock. This new model does look nice though.
When SS released on the Wii, I was put off by the motion controls and I put it down. A few years later when I told myself to power on through I absolutely fell in love with the story, it's characters and soundtrack. Yes, there are dull and frustrating elements but overall this game is so charming!
I can't wait to play SS again with the QoL improvements I wonder if the classic controls will be any good. I might even revert back to the motion controls...
Of course these are promotional images and they always look good, but I can't shake the feeling the graphics in these images are a bit too detailed to run on the current Switch. Switch Pro screens maybe?
There's nothing "pro" about a console so that name is a bit weird (same for PS4 Pro). "Super" is nice, but the SNES era is long gone. I think "New" best describes the next iteration of the Switch. Like they did with the 3DS.
I played Skyward Sword on my Wii U. Not once did I feel the urgency to look for the nearest bird statue in order to return to Skyloft. It's a really nice looking Amiibo, for those who collect them, but as far as functionality goes, I think it's a bit of a lazy move by Nintendo.
Reports like these make me a bit pessimistic about the availability of the "Switch Pro" whenever it launches. It will probably go the way the PS5 and Xbox Series X launches. Not enough supply and scalpers snagging up every unit the second they are being listed online.
Their "enhanced wireless" controller should be enough for most avid FPS players. Too bad that they lack in updates for their firmware. Gamers (me included) are suggesting improvements but they do nothing. Responses in the line of; " Good suggestion. We'll pass it on to our development team".
I'm really looking forward to this game! The use of blur around the edges is pretty noticeable though. I hope that the presumed extra performance of the "Switch Pro" can do away with it.

Re: Poll: Do You Use The Black Or White Theme On Your Nintendo Switch?
White is a bit too bright if you're sitting 5 feet from your 65" TV.
I don't really care for other themes. But folders? YES PLEASE.
Re: Soapbox: Wave Race 64 Is Now 25 Years Old, And It Still Rules
Wave Race will be the only reason for me to take the more expensive NSO subscription, with N64 included. Once it arrives.
I LOVE WAVE RACE!
Blue Storm is fun too but less so then 64, imo. But MAN...I want a new installment in the series so badly! Doesn't look like it's gonna happen though.

Re: thatgamecompany's Sky: Children Of The Light Gets Switch Date, Season Based On 'The Little Prince'
