Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Final Tech Specs Have Been Confirmed

Znake

With everyone having a smartphone these days, while Nintendo offering more features on phone apps, they should have integrated the chat into an app. Almost everyone today has a phone, tablet…, the game chat stealing resources that could go into higher frame rates, ray tracing, or better textures is mindblowing. This is the most useless feature that just drags the system down. I hope the devs will have a choice to opt out of the chat and use the resources for their own purposes.

Re: Random: John Romero Wants Rip And Tear-Proof Joy-Con On Switch 2

Znake

I wish we could have a choice to buy the console without the Joycons and buy 3rd party controllers separately since I don’t trust the new joycons. I believe that if Nintendo would be confident enough in their new analogues, they would reflect it in their presentation, but they avoid it! Meaning, they can’t be 100% sure. It would also make more sense since most players have controllers from Switch 1, and having this option would reduce the base price drastically.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Dev Tells Studios "Do Not Underestimate The Physical Edition"

Znake

Thanks to such deep hearted passionate developers who do the best for their fans! Every developer should have the same standard and deliver final products on physical media with no patches, updates or dlc ever needed! I will buy their game for Switch 2 just for their passion! And of course it’s a great game! Hope they do the same for Switch with the next Witcher game!

Re: Talking Point: Will You Be Buying Any Game-Key Card Switch 2 Games?

Znake

This is just to confuse people who care for physical and to make them buy these incomplete game releases. I would never buy anything like a game key card!!!!! It might not be bound to an account but still bound to a server! Once those servers are gone, so will the games! This is a riddiculous practice! Give customers a choice! Let us choose if we want to pay extra and have a full physical release the very least since the 64gb cards cost a bit more. I understand that some devs want more profit for themselves and key card is a cheap alternative, but their profit should not take priority over satisfied customer.

Re: "We MUST Resist Buying These Game-Key Releases", Says GamesMaster Host

Znake

I will never buy this! Full game on cartridge or no buy! Nintendo got really tricky with this! But still the game key is bound to a server, so once the license expires or server goes down, the game is gone!!!! Nintendo should only increase price for games that require more space on cartridge-that would be reasonable, but not this!!!!!!

Re: Round Up: The First Impressions Of Donkey Kong Bananza Are In

Znake

@Residentsteven I totally agree with you. The game feels interesting but how long will the destruction feel fun? If it’s too much it just slows the pace and the game is supposed to be mainly a platformer, and while the trailer showed some 2D part very briefly, the entire Threehouse presentation had ZERO platforming!!!!! I worry this game might be fun to play once but may not have the replayability of Tropical Freeze or 3D World, even Odyssey!

Re: Nintendo Won't Reveal Donkey Kong's Switch 2 Dev, But We Might Already Know

Znake

I am surprised nobody ever mentions that this game has almost no platforming, which is the core of the experience, and this game should cover for 3D Mario. There were some sections in the trailer that seem to have some 2D gameplay parts but during Threehouse Preseentations they showed huge parts of the game and there was NO platforming at all!!!!!!! The destructible gimmick seems fun but that’s not gonna be fun for a long time! I hope there will be more challenge and platforming in the gameplay since the past DK titles even though 2D, those games had phenomenal platforming crafted to perfection so I hope I am not alone who feels that this game should have platforming.

Re: It's Official, Switch 2 Joy-Con Will Not Feature Hall Effect Sticks

Znake

I believe the drift is a programmed defect!
When I calibrate the sticks, the cursor is rapidly in high frequency flying around the center. If it was a physical damage or overuse, the stick would either tend to go more to a particular direction but wouldn’t shake in multiple direction in such speed!
I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s intentional programming so they just keep selling more controllers! I am disgusted because the only controllers that have zero drift are third party! All official Nintendo Pro Controllers I bought have a drift which started just weeks after a first use!!!!!! That’s intolerable!!!!!!

Re: Opinion: A Few Too Many Questions & Unwelcome Surprises Are Taking The Shine Off The Switch 2 Reveal

Znake

The only case where I would tolerate higher price is if the cartridge need far higher capacity to fit the whole game! Which isn’t the case of Mario Kart! For Elden Ring I would understand. Nintendo moved production out of China since the Tarif situation was expected, so do not bring politics Nintendo into the subject! And if PS5 sells first party games for 60-70 dollars and those games ha e development cycles of 6-7 years, then Nintendo has no reason to increase the price! This is just greed! Iwata is dearly missed, the new Nintendo president is just an economist that doesn’t understand games and just wants profits! Sad days Nintendo!

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Direct April 2025 - Every Announcement, Game Reveal & Trailer

Znake

@BolkaRover good troll, please do not make invalid comments! Increasing a game price 20-30usd is not ok, and selling a physical game cartridge without the full game content is not ok. It’s a way to confuse people and making them feel like they buy physical. No! This is not OK! And if you are paid by Nintendo to paste optimistic comments here, your messages are completely out of place.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Direct April 2025 - Every Announcement, Game Reveal & Trailer

Znake

My hype went to Zero, after finding out games won’t be complete on cartridge for physical releases which should be a standard, and in combination with their price politics of 10-20,- USD higher prices for a game? Who will buy 80 digital and 90 physical?! That’s manipulation to force people into Fully Digital and corporately controlled game environment that takes our game ovnership rights away! I was really considering a day 1 purchase, and now feeling that I won’t want to spend this money over the next few years. This may force me to just skip this gen and assuming the following gen will be digital only ( end of quality gaming right there).

Re: Star Fox Veteran's New Game Is Channelling Serious Lylat Energy

Znake

It’s so weird that there is a clear big interest in on rail shooters, yet Nintendo still won’t release Star Fox Zero, which was an excellent game, except for a few levels! It was done by Platinum and it’s such a highly polished game that I wish to play again! It’s much more fun than Panzer Dragoon! I have also bought many alternatives on Switch but they don’t compare. Hope this game will at least offer more deeper gameplay along with fun bosses and finding hidden branching paths!

Re: How Would You Rate The Pokémon Presents Showcase For February 2025?

Znake

Absolutely terrible, how can people tolerate their zero efforts in game development. Wish Iwata would teach the current president a lesson if he were here. During Iwata, we could see the boundaries pushed. Pokemon died with Black 2! The Pokemon management looks like a bunch of emo’s that just milk a cow that no longer makes any milk. They bring a shame to Nintendo for allowing this!!!! They make more money than GTA but their creativity and effort is below Zero!!!!!

Re: Poll: Which Pokémon Game Really Deserves A Remake Next?

Znake

Just please no cheap Chibi graphics! Make a Pixels Art HD 2D remaster of the DS version! Those were some of the best Pokémon graphics ever along with Black 2! Black 2 should get the same treatment, with all the DLC championships, Elite 4’s and difficulty levels!!!!!! If Pokémon can’t make a good Pokémon games anymore, just at least do solid remasters of the games that you couldn’t mess up because Iwata was always saving their backs! Now when he’s gone, the quality just skyrocketed downwards!

Re: Random: Takaya Imamura Wants To See Star Fox: Assault On Switch 2

Znake

@Truegamer79 finally someone! Zero was actually amazing mix of Assault and 64, since the ship morphing added on foot action on rails also reminiscing Sin and Punishment. Platinum games back then did a phenomenal job and people were just lazy to adapt to different controls. I played the whole game on gamepad since you can switch between the screens with a button press so the people saying it’s not possible to port have probably never played the game and just keep trolling. zero was amazing and I wish we got a port.

Re: Talking Point: Why An LCD Screen Isn't The End Of The World For Switch 2

Znake

@DaniPooo it’s not downgrade to you personally! But for someone who plays mainly handheld it is a visual downgrade no matter how much more powerful the new console will be. You buy LCD, but who is used to Oled logically doesn’t want to go back. Nintendo should stop with the hyenous practice of multiple mid gen releases because it’s spitting in the face to people who buy day 1 and won’t be able to afford an upgrade in 2-3 years! Nintendo should release two versions because many people are now aware of their console multi iterations and will hold off with their purchase until Nintendo releases what they want and that’s a loss for Nintendo on software sales.

Re: Talking Point: Why An LCD Screen Isn't The End Of The World For Switch 2

Znake

Can we all agree that Oled is simply nicer for all of us players that play mainly in handheld?! Nintendo can do it if they want! But they want to rip us off by doing these multiple mid gen upgrades! That’s a total insult for loyal players who buy a co sole day 1, and then can’t afford to updgrade!!!!! The very least, release two console options at launch and let people choose! The ones playing mainly on TV can buy a regular LCD Switch 2, and us handheld players can buy the Oled! This is how it should be done!

Re: Random: Someone's Tried To Fix Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom's Awful UI

Znake

Most people don’t use the UI well. In the menu you can just press on any echoes you want to use-click on 1-20 echoes, and then in the game when you quick select “latest used”, you have them right there few clicks away! Why do people make it sound like it’s unplayable lol. People like to complain…

Re: PlatinumGames Wipes Several Games From Its Website's Portfolio

Znake

@1UP-HUSKY sorry if I didn’t formulate the reply correctly, I am not an angry gamer lol, and you also don’t need to take that so personally. I am more disappointed with some communities where people bash games and most of them haven’t later it:( I thanks for the reply anyway!

Re: PlatinumGames Wipes Several Games From Its Website's Portfolio

Znake

@Lizuka if you don’t like it don’t play it and don’t judge it! I loved the game and loved the controls. It felt like a breeze of fresh air having a game that tries to accomplish something different, plus the controls were super precise and having plain controls like N64 would degrade the experience! That’s like saying some people hate Horrors-should they stop making horror films because the audience disliking the genre is loud and the ones who like it don’t bother replying? No, Star Fox Zero is one of the most unique games, and I dare say the best on-rail shooter! Starlink was a piece of horse junk, and not every game needs to sell 10-20milions. Many games like Sin and Punishment 1-2, Star Fox, Pikmin, are very unique and look what’s on Nintendo eshop? Far worse titles! Garbage truck games, petting animal games, farming games, well there is so much content that is utter garbage, that these on-rail shooters are game of the year in comparison and part of history which gamers should defend!

Re: PlatinumGames Wipes Several Games From Its Website's Portfolio

Znake

@1UP-HUSKY maybe try learning the controls instead of complaining. There is a difference between bad controls and bad skills. If some players can achieve higher scores with original controls than modded version that is playable with regular controller, that says something. Lazy gamers kill games because they expect everything resolve around them instead of putting some effort it. I struggled for maybe 20min and then the game became a blast. Don’t forget that Platinum Games made it, and almost their every game is a polished treasure! If you don’t like it or can’t handle it, that’s fine, but don’t bash it if it’s not a game for you! Because it’s not a bad game and the controls are actually super precise with a ton of options if you learn it.

Re: Poll: So, What Did You Think Of The Switch 2 Reveal?

Znake

BAD! Most importantly for 3 reasons! Most people had issue with drifting analogue sticks-and they have NOT changed- the same tiny cheap looking fragile little analogues. Second, the joycons connectors in the console itself look like it can break off easily-terrible design choice, and lastly the console looks extremely cheap-the buttons, the surface, and we don’t even know if it has Oled or not. I know it’s games that matter, but I was honestly quite disappointed. Considering how successful the Switch 1 was and how much money Nintendo made, I would expect more unique design that looks more like a next gen system, not a plain 3D printed generic plastic look. I hope this is the budget option, and really wish Nintendo will have one more that is meant for adult gamers.
