At this point the Switch is at fault, not the game. That games still run at all is a blessing.

This was such a pointless battle from the very start. There's no tangible benefit to putting it on Steam. Not even for Steam Deck users, as it's already available as a flatpak.

This has drawn so much unnecessary heat to Dolphin in particular and emulation in general for nonexistent benefit.

One of the few games I've 100%'d. I played it on PC but would love to own a physical version of this game on any platform if for no other reason than to show support for the game. I really want a Neon White 2! With a level editor!

@Expa0 Homelander is not an "action hero" lmao. He's a monster.

I suspect that the brother's aren't being totally forthcoming with their side of the story. If they are, in fact, being taken for a ride and their work used without their permission then they'd have an easy slam dunk of a court case. That the game is moving forward and that hasn't happened makes me think that someone signed a contract they didn't fully understand.

As much as I love the Switch, I'm really tired of it being this underpowered third wheel. TotK runs like a dog. Nearly every game is 30fps 600p disappointment. The games have outgrown the hardware bigtime. We are well past the point of the hardware holding the games back. No SF6. No Diablo 4. No Resident Evil. "Cloud editions". Please just release new hardware.

Call me weird, but I honestly love stuff like this. Just honest, fun, earnest content. Not everything has to be a 20 minute DYKG obscure fact-fest or some kind of fast-cut humor and meme filled sarcasm-fest. Sometimes it's just fun to totally let your guard down and just enjoy this kind of thing. Makes me remember what it was like to read and watch game-related content as a kid.

It's kind of a shame that the Switch will likely go its whole life with such a soulless and boring interface. We never even got more themes. "Basic Black" and "Basic White" are really going to be it for the whole run. We never even got proper folders for games, messaging for friends, voicechat that didn't require a smartphone app (just use discord at that point), or any real updates to how the eShop worked.

I hope whatever we get next isn't so barebones.

This is pointless posturing. Microsoft says nonsense like this in public and then behind closed doors talks about buying up studios and using money to spend competition out of business. Even stopping to engage with this ridiculous assertion is giving it more attention than it deserves.

He's not wrong. If you want that type of game you're already getting it somewhere else, and I very much doubt you're going to rush to get it on Switch instead so that you can play Warzone in glorious 480p 30fps.

I wonder if I preorder the announcements now if I'll get them in a year or two.

MGSV and GZ could run on the Switch, though it'll probably be rough. The 360 version wasn't great lol.

If they release MGS4 on Switch I'll admit that the Switch hardware is fine and it should stand as-is forever. No more consoles. Switch can do it all.

See you all in a couple weeks. I trust NintendoLife to keep the articles spoiler free, but I know better than to trust the comments.

The Wii U Pro Controller is close to perfection. All the inputs feel good. The battery lasts a long time. The mini-usb port is durable. The only thing it's missing is gyro. This is my controller of choice for PC games and Steam Deck.

I want to say the Switch Pro Controller is the best, but the d-pad is just horrible. Double and accidental inputs constantly. It's so close to being total perfection it's painful

I don't know if it counts as a quest, but Eventide Island. I was really well geared by the time I stumbled onto the island and the return to nothing and being excited to find sticks and rusty swords was really refreshing after demolishing everything in my path had become routine. Also finding and finding the best ways to move and seat the orbs was just fun.

I wish there were more segments like that, but I recognize that doing "the Eventide thing" over and over would get old fast. I loved it for what it was.

While I agree he did commit a crime and be punished I think it's a little harsh to essentially make the guy poor for the rest of his life for selling gizmos that let people pirate videogames. $10 million is essentially just a sentence that Nintendo owns 30% of him for the rest of his life. I don't know what the punishment should be but this is pretty severe. He's already been in prison for three years.

They're within their right to do this. There's no real way to frame this as anything other than a company protecting itself.

That said Nintendo does such a poor job of making their previous games available and accessible that's it's hard for me to get upset at people pirating them so that they can enjoy them without paying scalpers and speculators on eBay.

@nessisonett

Most sane answer in this thread.

If they release a Legends collections with 1, 2, and Misadventures I would buy it instantly. Probably twice, honestly. I wish Capcom would just give us some way to show that we want those games. Some way to show that Legends is loved.

@sanderev It's not the same for arts. Having your name in the credits of a game is huge for your portfolio, especially if you're a smaller fish.

There's no point without the ability to transfer monsters from your own games. It's such a weird miss when this is a chance for Nintendo to deliver a better-than-3rd-party experience by adding the gameboy games to the gameboy NSO and letting them link with Stadium.

The game was already dead with a nonexistent playerbase back around when it first showed up on the Switch. I'm surprised the game is still online at all.

Can't wait to see what kind of new articles and reviews are at my favorite website TheMarioBrosMovieLife.

I would honestly just recommend anyone interested in this story watch the Gaming Historian video about it on Youtube. It's much more faithful, it's shorter, and tells the story in a way that someone who is interested in the history of videogames would want to hear it.

April 1st innit

I'm a little over roguelike/lites at the moment. There are just so many and they are starting to run together.

Is the japanese 3DS eShop closed? If so it's kind of wild they are selling new systems that have had their storefronts shuttered. It's honestly wild either way that they're still selling them at all.

Not a surprise, sadly. I'll miss what it was, but not what it had become.

Limited Run Games are a bunch of bauble salesmen. They're not white knights, they're just an artificial scarcity factory.

I'm excited. I'm replaying, and actually finishing, BotW right now. It's such a great game, and I know that Nintendo could top it. The only concern I have is that...well, I mean it's the same Hyrule, right? We explored every inch of it in BotW. It looks like this game doesn't take place too much further into the future, so will the world just be the same? It's going to be a major drag if the world feels the same as the last game. I'm sure there'll be new mechanics and all, but the world itself was the star of BotW, and they'll need to do something to make it feel fresh if they use the same world in another game.

It was exactly what we needed in 2020. It's a little odd that they cut support for it, though. It had turned into a really nice platform for Animal Crossing fans with tons of features. I don't regret buying it at all.

I'm digging back into Breath of the Wild in a big way. I want to finish it before the sequel drops.

Transferrable save data is huge for me. Without it I feel like I don't really engage with the demo like it was a real game, I just kind of coast through it. With the prospect of being able to carry my progress forward I feel invested in what is happening and I'm much more likely to actually buy the game. The recent Bayonetta Origins demo is one example.
