Re: Review: Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - A Cheap Upgrade, But Lacking Substance

Paid update for upgraded graphics with the same 30FPS? Lol.
Games on GOG receives patches like this for free. Some of them even support not only 60FPS, but 90 and 120FPS as well.
Console gaming is too much monetized now.
Laptops (especially) and PCs are expensive... But, they don't force you to spend so much money for games, paid updates, and online. Also, PC stores have regional pricing, something that consoles stores lacks.

Re: Opinion: I'm Happy amiibo Survived The Console Jump, But These Unlocks Are Getting Silly

And no mention of Shovel Knight, huh?
Nintendo versions of the game have Knight Fairies that can be unlocked only through amiibo scan. Back in 2021, when I was thinking about which amiibo to buy (the choice was between Piranha Plant and Golden Shovel Knight), I've bought... Golden Shovel Knight, and after that, I've bought Shovel Knight: King of Cards, just to make more use of it, lol.
But the worst thing about specific platform exclusives in Shovel Knight is that only Nintendo's exclusive content is locked behind physical DLC. And it's even not Nintendo themed!
PlayStation versions have Kratos boss fight and exclusive gear for Shovel Knight. And it's free.
XBOX versions have Battletoads boss fight and exclusive gear for Shovel Knight. And, it's free.
Nintendo versions? Some Knight Fairies that aren't based on any Nintendo's IP and are locked behind amiibo paywall. Even no exclusive gear. Why PlayStation and XBOX users got exclusive content for free, while Nintendo users need to buy physical DLC!?

@Dalamar I meant «funny» sarcastically, not seriously.
I am myself disappointed with Nintendo's current guidelines since 2024, when they banned Hyperdimension Neptune and Death end re;Quest Zero from NA and PAL eShops...
Look:

Another already translated Japanese game that isn't coming to NA and PAL eShops... It's not funny at all.

@ottoecamn @Dalamar @Nep-Nep-Freak @AussieMcBucket You know, it's funny to check Gematsu everyday just to see that every second or third Japanese game announced for Switch 1 and 2 is coming only to Japanese eShop, despite having already English translated versions that are available on GOG and/or Steam.

@Misima That's all consoles issue, not only Nintendo's, to be fair.
Also, the lack of mods is not that significant as the paid online in paid games. I'd be fine if online subscriptions were necessary only for F2P games, but they aren't. It's why online base is always bigger and more active on PC than on consoles.
But, as you see, users swallowed paid online and are fine with that, sadly.

Re: Censored Dispatch Artwork Spotted On Nintendo's Digital Storefront

@Hern4ndeZzz Book of Shadows (2nd game) and 2U (3rd game) were banned in NA and PAL eShops.
Physical Japanese versions and digital versions have English language... But why care about importing when you can buy it easily either on GOG or Steam? They have regional pricing and will be definitely cheaper than on eShop.
When GOG (as everything else) was working in Russia, I've bought Book of Shadows and 2U for 3$USD each, thanks to regional pricing and discount.

Re: Opinion: Resident Evil Requiem Needs To Solve The Series' Villain Problem

«Things got off to a rocky start with Revelations in 2012, during which it was revealed that Morgan Lansdale was the architect behind the game’s events. Remember him? No, no one else does either.»
As a REV1 fan, I feel insulted.
There was a "cliffhanger" at the end of REV1, and CAPCOM still haven't made any follow-up/mention to that thing.
Also, CAPCOM lacks good writing in their games in general. I wonder if they're hiring actual scenario writers for games or not...
