Re: Atari Hopes To Add Switch Touch Controls To RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic In The Future

Yosti

@smithyo It is an incomplete product. If you are talking about RollerCoaster Tycoon 1 or 2 then you are correct. But we are talking about RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic which was designed for iOS and Android in 2016. Touchscreen support always was a part of Classic. The Switch version has the same touchscreen interface design as the mobile version. I would only agree with you if they designed a new interface for controller support like the original Xbox version.

Metal Gear Solid never had a touchscreen version release? Don't understand the comparison. It's more like releasing Metal Gear Solid without controller support.
A perfect port of the mobile version of RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic for me is one that has touchscreen support.

@EarthboundBenjy Yes it is the same version as on mobile, same interface which was designed for touchscreen input.

I asked them on social media why it has no touchscreen support and this is the reply I got: "We know people want it and hope to add it in the future so we'll make sure to keep you updated."

So hopefully it will be added someday Both control options would be perfect.

Re: Sony May Be Plotting A New PSP To Compete With Nintendo's 'Switch 2'

The PSP was a great handheld and sold very well. The Vita was abandoned by Sony in a few years because they wanted to focus on the Playstation console? I don't see the next handheld play Playstation 5 games natively (not possible?) and I don't see Sony developing games for two totally different hardware specs (didn't work out with the Vita). Streaming PS5 first party games on the handheld seems more likely and then PS4 specs games native?

I don't see it compete with the Switch 2 because I don't think it will get the same focus from Sony. And it is years away. But more competition is good and the PSP and Vita were interesting pieces of hardware. Maybe we will see more first party games with a lower budget, less develop time with more focus on the creative side. A Daxter 2 would be interesting.

Re: Xbox Confirms It's Looking Into A Potential Handheld Device

Great that there is so much interest and love for Microsoft Xbox on NintendoLife. I think there is room for more handhelds in the market. To me a handheld would make more sense than a Pro console. But I am probably fine playing games on 1 handheld. I like to buy the Xbox games on a Nintendo platform.

Re: Microsoft Talks About Extending Its Gaming Content To 'New Platforms'

@SalvorHardin I agree with you in the sense that I am not very optimistic about future Halo games. Their pitch of “omg look at these graphics” doesn't seem interesting to me. But in theory there can still be a great new Halo game.
But my point was that despite how great or bad the new Halo games are it would still make sense to release The Master Chief Collection on more platforms. Everyone that wanted to play the original Halo games already bought them on Xbox One/Series in the last 10 years. Original Halo games on Switch would create new fans or people will buy the game again. It's extra money for Microsoft and no danger to their console sales because old games don't drive hardware.

Re: Microsoft Talks About Extending Its Gaming Content To 'New Platforms'

I don’t see why Halo would be “red lines” if they would release the older games like The Master Chief Collection. That collection is 10 years old. It is not going to sell more Xbox consoles. Releasing it on Switch could create new fans and those people might be interested in newer games of the Halo series. Or people buy the collection again to play it handheld.

But I will just wait. In the mean time I can play them on my Xbox One S or PC. But I think it is just a matter of time before they release the (older) Halo games on a Nintendo platform.

Re: Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered Shoots Onto Switch Next Year

Yosti

@anoyonmus I would say the Nintendo Switch can handle all three last Tomb Raider games. 2013 and Rise of the Tomb Raider where released on the Xbox 360. And while Shadow of the Tomb Raider might be more difficult to port we have seen some impressive ports already.

But you can't blame Aspyr for porting only the old games. It's the only thing they are capable of. It is this or nothing. But no idea why the owner of the Tomb Raider games didn't port the last games. I expected them years ago.

Re: Ubisoft's Disastrous 2024 May Lead To The Company Going Private

Yosti

@jojobar I agree with te formulaic design. Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is one of my top favourite Nintendo Switch games which I completed multiple times. Sparks of Hope I am halfway, but completing it is a chore. The game looks great, but it is not an improvement on Kingdom Battle.

Looking forward to play Beyond Good & Evil. Never played it before and thus have no nostalgia. But like you said those games are master pieces without nonsense.

Re: Gallery: Here's The Switch Lite Hyrule Edition In All Its Zelda-Themed Beauty

Yosti

@Pillowpants You do know that your current Switch is a portable too? But seriously, I don't think it is really worth it. It is possible to use two Switches. But it is not that easy that I would consider it over just undocking my Switch to play on the go.

I have a Switch OLED and recently bought a Switch Lite. Bought it cheap on Aliexpress. I want to mod it with a OLED screen. For that price it sounded like a fun project.
It is a sleek device. It is a bit smaller and a bit lighter. But it is not more easy to take with you than the normal Switch. But this Hyrule Edition looks cool.
