Can totally understand why they can't continue but their statement to say "where against privacy?" . They knew what they were doing and provided the tools to do it. Don't be handballing the blame go your users you schmucks
It's a little odd to just hire females to hit a quota. Probably the question should be, why are no females skilled for the roles? Is it culture? It's it training opportunity? Are there many females that want to work at Nintendo ?
Snake Pass was one of those highly talked about games that I ended up getting on release way-back-when. I have never felt rage towards a game like I did with snake pass. It's possibly the most frustrating game with a story that's just 'meh' to go with it. 'Wacky' Ooft no.
If this were any other franchise it would be canned to the likes of cyberpunk. But it's Pokémon so it gets a pass... it's Pokémon, a multi billion dollar company ....
At the end of the day the game is free. I can't complain about a free app not working correctly. As a veteran Go Player, everything in POGO is circular. The event will return.
Considering bayonetta was a 360/PS3 game and runs really well on switch, this is a little bit of a joke. Alan Wake is up there as an all time classic game experience but somehow it's worse 10 years later. C'mon guys ...
Out of all the pastel blue / green advertisement for animal crossing and the existing colours being yellow and aquamarine (some would argue they are warm) I kinda call BS Can someone tell me what the big pink is in AC?
The logistics of having increased output requiring more power but staying portable is going to be a logistical nightmare. Seth from IGN proposed a upgraded dock with increased power in the base station and I think that's the best solution
If Super Switch is on the horizon I hope it's as light and portable as the current OLED.
@Ventilator what your saying isn't wrong.
But it can be justified.
They don't have the power to get retail games cheaper than others so yeah you'll pay more.
They do sell cheap eShop games for $35 but people like me are happy to pay the premium for a physical copy just because Doom 64 came in a N64 style packaging.
Additionally they do also sell limited run copies of games like Scott Pilgrim, Night Trap, Celeste. All games under $10 on the eShop but there is a market for physical versions.
It's a niche online store for a niche market. And sure while I'm buying stuff I may as well buy ninja turtles too, it's $10 more than everywhere else but I'm here anyway.
Your points are valid, I'm just saying they're don't create games, they work on deals with the owners of the titles to produce a product. They don't necessarily have an input with DLC inclusion unless the developers agree to it.
LRG don't/Legally can't release a game without permission, there needs to be economic, commercial and contractual factors for them to publish then product and then get permission from the console manufacturer to get it to run on the system.
-All of this is a cost or time (which is billable because no one is working for free)
At the end of the day they're also a company who needs to make money to survive, a big part of their revenue is the 'junk' that comes with the game that give it that premium price.
I'd just say if you don't like them, don't buy from them. But people like me who like the junk and don't mind paying extra to get it early, fancy box, collectable cards, cool box art, vinyl soundtracks that I'll never actually play... that's who they're marketing towards.
@Ventilator is LRG a scan company? I thought they produced limited copies of games not commercially published alongside commercial games. Their brand is "limited run" but not all they products are
I think we can just make a blanket statement that games of a higher graphical prowess that are also on other consoles are going to take a frame rate hit on switch.
I feel like majority of the commenters here didn't read "NEW IP" - I'd love Astral Chain sequel but that's not 'new'. I read this as a 'new' hero game. Either way I'm excited, platinum games have a way of making the most ridiculous things work well and be entertaining, funny and memorable. Looking forward to what ever the put out. Hoping it comes to Switch
@Ogbert oh right ! Thanks for the info. Can't wait to never buy this console. I had a look on their website... you have to preorder by way of buying an NFT then cashing it in.. seems SO weird and scammmmy

Re: Nintendo Switch Menu Mockups Found On Prototype Console
Frothing over the Home Screen. It seems super simple but highly stylised. The switch Home Screen works fine but bloody heck it's boring

MISCHIEF MAKERS !!
Re: Rumour: 'Switch 2' Gamescom Demo Supposedly Had Zelda: BOTW Running At 4K 60FPS

Re: Nintendo Announces Two New Animal Crossing: New Horizons-Themed Switch Lites, Out October
Ah so they put decals on their existing stock to move it before the next switch
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Excitebike 64
I'm very glad Japan did something to make the game look exciting. EU just feels a bit bland.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Bomb Rush Cyberfunk
The reviews seem odd. Kinda saying it's an average game but reminds them of a classic Dreamcast game. Nostalgia seems to be bumping the score.

Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Was The Best-Selling Switch Game In The US Last Year
@Specters nah, my game still runs like ass in most places and does weird physics/camera things where I can't see battles or stare into the void.
Re: Best Nintendo Switch Wacky Physics Games
Snake Pass was one of those highly talked about games that I ended up getting on release way-back-when. I have never felt rage towards a game like I did with snake pass. It's possibly the most frustrating game with a story that's just 'meh' to go with it. 'Wacky' Ooft no.
Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Was The Best-Selling Switch Game In The US Last Year
This is great news, but they won't fix the game. Why fix it if it's going to sell millions.

Re: The Metroid Dread Vibes Are Strong In Action-RPG Platformer 'Trinity Fusion'
It defiantly looks heavily influenced. However watching the trailer the gameplay also looks pretty fun, hoping it runs that smooth on the switch
Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis Of Splatoon 3 On Switch
Nintendo needs to share their secret sauce with making smooth games on switch. To many poo third parties with giant file sizes runs way worse.
Re: Evercade EXP Handheld Will Come Bundled With 18 Classic Capcom Titles
