Microsoft mentions how it's "confident" Activision's development teams can optimise the Call of Duty games to "run on the Nintendo Switch in a timely manner" don't you think they would have done that already if it was that easy Activision loves money why would they not release it on a console with a user base as significant as the switches if they could without a huge some of money going towards that optimization Microsoft are absolutely full of it & will say anything to get this deal through even when it's blatantly not true 🤣
@progx I don't know much about mobile chips (my phone uses a mediatek dimensity 900) but I'd think a new powerful mobile chip that could keep up with the GPUs in Xbox series & ps5 consoles would be extremely expensive ... No ?
@progx Nintendo doesn't sell its consoles at a loss so unless they plan on making their next console more expensive (especially if it's another hybrid) I think it's safe to assume the specs won't come close to Xbox series or ps5
@illmatic20xx they mentioned content parity & that it would be available the same day as Xbox , playstation & pc in their announcement so it would have to be the same game with the same amount of content or they were lying (doesn't rule out cloud though lol)
Cod's a competitive shooter I doubt anyone's going to want to play the multiplayer on the weakest hardware it's on with the the worst online infrastructure
The next cod is rumoured to be another cross gen game aswell code named 'cerberus' makes sense not moving on to 'next gen' if once the acquisition goes through they'll be legally required to do native versions of cod on Nintendos hardware with the same release date as other platforms
@DripDropCop146 the thing that annoys me about America is that they celebrate Thanksgiving every year knowing it represents the genocide of the native population but they still all want to get self righteous aswell as nuking Japan & lying about WMD's
@Zisssou how do they sell games at prices lower than everyone else though that's why I've never bought anything from them it sounds too good to be true
@redd214 when gaming was much more of a niche hobby & they weren't going to get no where near as many sales this game will be one of the biggest selling games this generation it will make a s***load of money regardless of weather they increased the price or not
@Ade117 why exactly is Nintendo not greedy & Microsoft & Sony are ? Is it because they haven't risen the price on their games that cost much less to develop & rarely ever get discounted (when they do it's never more than 33%) or is it because they haven't risen the price on their 6 year old console with outdated specs that they've as of yet never lowered the RRP 🤣
Edit* I said they'd hadn't raised their game prices before seeing the article right below this one oops 🤣
We won't get the game apu got cancelled & Hank azaria said he wouldn't voice him again apu was one of the playable characters so they'd have to remove a chunk of the game
@Corvus96 game freak may be the devs but Nintendo owns a third of TPC the games are made exclusively for their consoles so they absolutely have a say in what gets released its naive to think Nintendo couldn't demand better quality
@johnvboy I don't see them making a hybrid console better than the steam deck while keeping the cost down & we know they won't sell at a loss because they're still overcharging for the current tech
@Corvus96 it's crap performance on MOST 3rd party AAA games not that that many even get ported because of the outdated tech lets not pretend it isn't
Edit* even some of their first party games perform like dog 💩 looking at you Pokémon
'but one would think the company is wise enough to stick with the hybrid approach' or just stick to hand helds 🤷♂️doing hybrid just means crap performance as a home console
I've got a SNES classic mini so I can just put the original ROMs on that if I want to play them no interest whatsoever with final fantasy though shame classic games I actually care about aren't being ported to current consoles
Sounds extremely greedy to me at that price I remember getting both crash the n same trilogy & spyro reignited at launch for £35 each not a fan of Activision but that was a great deal for 3 amazing games completely remade
@nhSnork Activision does it with call of duty where it's just a license file on the disk , Microsoft also does it with its flagship games like halo infinite it's not completely impossible that they'd produce physical copys of a game from a massive IP like this with just a code in the box to redeem the cloud version or something , they might not have done it before with cloud games but it doesn't mean they never will

Re: Call Of Duty Will Run As You "Would Expect" On Nintendo Platforms, Says Microsoft
@progx if they're more powerful aswell as obviously being able to make the consoles smaller then why don't Xbox & playstation use them ?

Re: Konami's New 'Power Pros' Baseball Game Is Available On Switch For Just 99 Cents

Re: Where To Buy Metroid Prime Remastered On Switch

Re: Nintendo: $70 USD Won't Be A Trend, Games Priced On "Case-By-Case Basis"
So will online retailers that had pre orders taken be honouring the original stated price or what lol
Re: Nintendo: $70 USD Won't Be A Trend, Games Priced On "Case-By-Case Basis"
£60 isn't that bad I was under the impression they didn't differentiate currencies like most publishers & that it was $70 = £70
Re: Metroid Prime Remastered Confirmed For Switch, Launching Digitally Today
Apparently it's £35 idve jumped in at £25 but anything more doesn't seem like a good deal (to me anyway)
Re: Metroid Prime Remastered Confirmed For Switch, Launching Digitally Today
This is the only thing that interested me in that direct might get it if it's not too expensive

Re: Nintendo Is Raising Its Employee Pay By 10% In Japan
