It is WILD reading reactions to this as though Nintendo is a victim and this man is some cruel soulless criminal. He hacked a video game console and made less than the average teacher makes as a result. Nintendo is a billion dollar corporation that routinely exerts the same level of legal abuse as Disney over ensuring it gets every last dime from its IP despite the fact that fans spreading their IP is a large part of why they're so successful. Nintendo has made huge profits over these last 7 years, there's no evidence whatsoever that Bowser's actions hurt Nintendo in any real way. He made around $50k a year from this. That's a rounding error to Nintendo. This is corporate sadism, this man is being tortured in the US prison system because he broke a law that has little relationship to moral or public good. This is horrifying.
The company did not go from a welcoming respectful healthy culture and workplace to what's described in the IGN report in three years. Reggie is protecting his brand, he's not being candid about his time at Nintendo and its ludicrous to frame these statements as some anything but an ex-executive looking out for book sales and his legacy.
This game has serious framerate problems. There are random stutters and the other times It'll be buttery smooth and then you'll look down a hall and the framerate will drop to half. It's seriously distracting and it also breaks the game flow because once that happens you know that whatever's in that direction has more going on than whatever room you're in and as a result kind of spoils the sense of uncertainty about what's next. I wish Nintendolife reviews were more diligent about this stuff, this is not the first time they've glossed over notable performance issues.
Bioshock Collection ends up being close to 50gb, it's hard to imagine storage is really the issue unless they wanted it all in a single package.
These kinds of decisions are just baffling to me. Obviously reworking it for switch would take time and money and is probably non-trivial otherwise it would have already happened. But at the same time, it's hard to imagine these games not selling like crazy on Switch. Certainly far better than the FF games on Switch. Kingdom Hearts is basically tailormade for the Switch demographic - I can't think of any non-Nintendo singleplayer series better suited to families, kids, and gaming addicts.
