Got a 17-something inches portable display with mini HDMI, mini DP and 2 USB-C that will do 4K60 or 1440p@144hz plus a 3rd party dongle-dock and 60w USB-C PSU for 230$CAD from AliExpress, so yeah. Wishing those guys good luck.
FFS; they learn nothing. You don't remake Chrono Trigger for the same reason you don't remake Casablanca or Citizen Kane. They can port the original to every support under the sun if they feel like it but you just can't alter the core experience. It is meant to be played as it is. If they want to make a new one they are more than welcome to, but the original should have untouchable status for it's a work of art and a piece of history.
Fully stocked up during BF/CM, and the reviews are not exactly fantastic; there will be plenty of used copies floating around soon enough. Will get it at some point, but I can wait.
@Noelemahc How does that dock look like? They are basically all coming out of the same factories; I had no issues updating my "2 Need use Switch" dongle with the Jemdo firmware.. 5 minutes and I was good to go.
Looks like there's a bit of a cat & mouse game going on; several 3rd party manufacturers have already released firmware updates for their dongles, including Jemdo and TANATRA. It's floating around reddit.
Why is the only YES answer has to be "it's my main" ??
Of course it's not. Everybody Switch 2 owner has a Nintendo dock as "main".
3rd party docks are always used for that 2nd or 3rd TV set, or as a portable solution. Why move the bulky Nintendo dock around and always mess with the camera, ethernet, etc.
These numbers look totally acceptable, but there are just too many kart racers atm; Kirby Air Riders seem absolutely packed with content, and we still don't know what Nintendo is cooking for MKW, but surely, they are going to come up with SOMETHING.. Plus, we all know CrossWorlds is going to be first to be heavily discounted, sooo... yeah.
Mario Galaxy 1+2 should be added to the Free section for consistency and clarity.
HOWEVER, it is wrong to call those "Switch 1 performance patch", because it's not really what the patches are addressing.
The extra performance is already baked into the new console; what those patches are improving is the internal resolution and/or are adding Gameshare support.
@Magician Was my first RPG as well (thanks Nintendo Power). I mostly remember it for the endless grind (not particularly fondly), slimes, golems and the torches going into caves; those were pretty cool at the time.
This has to be the worst SW2 port to this date. The infuriating Ubisoft Connect login is only the beginning; prepare for 30fps potato mode galore like never before.
And for starters, FFS, and the love of god, if the protagonist hair has to look like a glitchy patch of muddy pixels, give her a hat!! Oo
Honesty it was so bafflingly bad I couldn't pay real attention to the gameplay.
I cannot believe some people are actually going to pay real money for this. I feel so sorry it is making me sad.
Seriously tho; everything below 10th has to be selling only trivial amounts of copies; How many MK8/GTA5 can they really sell nowadays!?! Mario Wonder and Big Brain Academy, crushing Mafia Old Country, Silent Hill f, and AC Shadows, really?
"New 32 gb cartridge release" .. Can someone shed some light on that? Kind of suggests previous release was.. 16gb I guess?.. But then I see no DLC nor anything that would justify a bigger cart size, sooo what gives?
Whoa, that'd way too much transparency. Nintendo's usual "stability improvements" are so much more fun; it's surprise mechanics for updates. Finding out provides players with pride and a sense of accomplishment. /s
How can Mario Kart World still be 4th if this is only physical copies. There can't be that many people not buying the bundle but immediately changing their minds and getting a physical copy; something's not right.
Funny how turns have tabled around; now SW2 covers are more streamlined, trying to convey all sorts of information, with the art taking a backseat.. and it's absolutely miserable.
@Dee123 You seem to know more than me. Please shine a light on other game publishers routinely patenting game mechanics and actively enforcing them. Enlighten me.
Yet another day with Nintendo abusing the patents system to lock up as many vague concepts, scenarios and control schemes as possible. They don't just want your money; they want ALL the money.

@Vash0125 Sure, let's come up with some outlandish take and then dismiss the inevitable reaction.
Re: "I'll Get In Trouble" - Yuji Horii "Can't Talk About" Future Chrono Trigger Developments
@Vash0125 Sorry; did you really put Silent Hill 2 and Resident Evil 4 in the same category as Chrono Trigger? Are you serious?
This is like pitting the Mona Lisa against Akira or Batman.

Re: Reminder: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Is Available With A Switch Game Voucher
@sevex You are pitting the Switch 1 voucher price against the Switch 2 price.
Still gotta add the 14.99$ upgrade to that 81.50$ voucher to reach Switch 2 level, so the difference is insignificant.

Re: Poll: Is Your Third-Party Switch 2 Dock Still Working After This Week's System Update?
Oooh I went for a dongle for its portability, but as a 2nd "home" dock; considering the price, this is not bad at all!
Also got this puppy from AliExpress; couldnt resist the idea of a dock for my dock.

It is too big to fail at this point. They are going to make money hands over fists, but the franchise will be tainted forever.

Re: Zelda: A Link To The Past And Chrono Trigger Are "Ripe For Remakes", Says Analytics Firm
HELL NO.
For the same reason you don't remake Casablanca or Citizen Kane.
Those titles deserve the utmost respect. Either you play the original, or you don't.
Simple as that.
Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Gets Faster On Switch 2 Next Month
Did Switch 2 really needed 3 different high profile kart racers in the first six months tho?
Even going for a second one was unnecessarily early as long as we don't know the plans for Mario Kart World DLC.
