You're right. Let's go back to the great days of Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival, Star Fox Zero and Mario Tennis Ultra Smash

@pwilliams
So like every other billionaire corportation?

@Kirbyo
I wasn't even talking about the patent news. The guy I replied to was being blantantly racist, said Japan shouls be nuked again and literally just joined about an hour ago - I'm going to call him out. And honestly why hasn't Nintendo Life at least delete that comment

@ValentineMeikin
Sega and Square-Enix aren't going to remove Personas from Persona or summons from Final Fantasy and Nintendo isn't interested in suing them nor does it benefit them in any way to make their biggest partners angry at them.

@ValentineMeikin
Nintendo isn't interested in suing Sega or Square-Enix because they have games with summons

@UltimateOtaku91
The battle system in Nexus Anima isn't even similar to what Nintendo actually pattented though, so they should be fine

@UltimateOtaku91
Why would Nintendo care about Azur Promilia or whatever Miyoho is doing? They would have sued them by now if they cared

This Bluesky post points out that Nintendo appears to be trying to patent a specific system introduced in Scarleltt and Violet where you summon a Pokemon and let it battle while you do other stuff. So I don't think it will affect Persona or Final Fantasy like a lot of people here and on Reddit are claiming

Would this patent actually affect Persona and Final Fantasy? It's still a ***** patent but it sounds like if the character is summoned on the field/map AND controllable then it would "violate" the patent

@GgGames
Who's "We"?

I feel like the people complaining about there not being enough first party Switch 2 exclusives are forgetting when there was a five month delay between the Demon's Souls remake and Returnal and that Demon's Souls was the only exclusive on the PS5

@LinktotheFuture
Why would you assume just the title screen is 1080p

Didn't this game run poorly on Steam Deck as well?

@Vyacheslav333
Dude you don't have to make this into a conspiracy theory. Some devs just don't have a development kit yet.

@Yosher
They literally have been. See my post for all the third party stuff that's out/coming out

@Otimus
It would be nice if John could have mentioned which devs he talked to who didn't have a dev kit. All I know is the Mouseworks guy and the Warframe devs don't have one yet - from what I see it's mainly smaller/indie dev teams.

I don't like every decision Nintendo has made but people are just so ***** angry and negative about ANYTHING related to the Switch 2 despite the system only being out for like three months

So are people just ignoring the third party games that have been released/announced?

@AllBLK
I think it's mostly indie developers struggling to get a dev kit. I posted this on Reddit but the following games have either come out for Switch 2 or have been announced for it

Street Fighter 6
Monster Hunter Stories 3
FF7 Remake Intergrade

Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac

Legend of Heroes Trails in the Sky FC
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight
Cyberpunk 2077
Dragon Ball Sparking Zero
Starfield (Not confirmed but NateTheHate says it's coming)

I don't understand this narrative of developers not having dev kits beyond smaller developers. Sega, Capcom, Konami, Square-Enix, 2K, EA, Warner Brother Games, Bamco and Nihon Falcolm all seem to have development kits and have released games for it and have more in development. Who are they referring to?

Are they going to fix the issue? It doesn't say on the game page that they're planning an update to fix the issue

Unpopular opinion: I like Mario Kart World despite its flaws

I'm pretty sure that Lady is supposed to be Pauline's grandmother and that Pauline in Bananza is the same one from Odyseey as a kid. There's artwork of Lady from Donkey Kong singing in a band so it could still be valid.

@sadboy
It literally adds new content to the game

@sadboy
Sony also charged for some upgrades to PS5, and Nintendo has done free Switch 2 upgrades - not all of them are paid.

Also it's not like Sony is pumping out games at a high rate on PS5, and that system's been out for five years now. The Switch 2 is only two months old

@sadboy
Ever since the Switch 2 Direct in April it's been almost nothing but negativity. I'm not saying Nintendo can't be criticized but a lot of it has been misinformatiom like ALL Switch 2 games being $80 and Nintendo bricking systems when it's just a console ban from online services

@sadboy
I'm exhausted reading comments like your comment saying you can't wait to be disappointed again.

@sadboy
What, more ports? People complain about Nintendo announcing ports and then complain about FF7 Remake and Elden Ring not having release dates despite those being ports and gamw key cards.

Also sorry if it offended you but it is exhausting reading comments from people saying the presentation is already going to suck based off the last one

@AllBLK
Nintendo has literally never raised prices until recently. It's all because of Trump - stop ignoring who's actually responsible

@Axecon
It's because Nintendo just came out with a new system and they don't want to raise the price of it or the games that people are already upset about being high. Most people who wanted a Switch 1 already have it so it makes sense to raise the price of that, some amiibo and some accessories ro not raise the price on the stuff that matters.

It sucks don't get me wrong but that's what we have to deal with thanks to the hellish administration

Can't wait for people to not blame Trump and instead yell about how it's just Nintendo greed

@Thomystic
Nintendo still allows you to redownload games you bought on the Wii, 3DS and Wii U though

@Yosher
So you hate Game Key Cards because you don't own the game, but you're considering switching to PC gaming where you also don't own the game?

@AlonditeFE
Nothing is permanent, not even physical media. One day the Switch and Switch 2 cartridges with the games om them will die

@Magician
Maybe Gamestop is struggling because their trade-in prices are absolute garbage. I don't live in the UK so I have no idea about GAME

@Magician
Game borrowing, trading and selling is a niche? It's better than buying a digital game on Switch 2 since if you don't like the game you can re-sell it.

And I'm sorry, but gamers made Steam the platform of choice for PC which helped contribute to the death of physical games on it, so I'm sorry if I'm more than annoyed from those who complain about game-key cards not being the real game but continue to buy games off Steam

@nathatruc
Why do people have a problem with Game Key Cards but have no problem with buying digital games off of eShop, Playstation Store, Xbox or Steam?

@YunoboCo
"They didn't cater to my needs so it sucks"

@_747_
All the warnings in Japan have been lifted and are now just advisories. Plus the Direct is pre-recorded so I don't think the tsunami would affect it. I could be wrong though

@ozwally
Not saying it can't be delayed because of it but apparently the damage has been minimal and no deaths have been reported from it last I checked. In 2018 Nintendo delayed the September Direct out of respect for the victims of the earthquake.

We'll know soon if it's delayed a week

OK, so I did look up the Skill Up video on the game and did see the game running lower than 60 in the Jungle area. I still think people are overblowing this and not considering the entire game is about destroying ***** with voxels

@the_beaver
I've watched the preview videos - the worse drop was for a second during a destruction challenge and the player spamming Pauline's voice. Afterwards it's fine

Are you going to link me to the impressions where people who played it say the performance is bad? Because I haven't seen it and it looks like it plays fine from videos

The game looks like it runs fine judging from the videos available. Where are people getting the impression it's going to run horribly from?

@SpontaneousOutburst
Mario Kart World literally came out last month

Also you're into AI garbage so I don't think you get to judge the developers work

@Samalik
DK Bananza has fully destructible environments and targets 60 FPS while Knack doesn't and struggles to maintain to maintain 60 FPS even on PS4 Pro, even though from what I've seen of it it's a standard platform. And it's a launch game as well.

@Samalik
Didn't the PS4 struggle to run Knack? It wasn't even perfect on PS4 Pro

@TrogdorTheBurninator
Did you watch any of the preview videos?

@hYdeks
Did you watch any of the previews? It looks like it plays pretty smoothly - I only saw one moment in a preview where the frame rate dropped it was a split second. It's not an Echoes of Wisdom situation

@AllBLK
Lol that you think you're superior to me because you don't like the switch 2
