@graysoncharles Thank you for clarifying. It really sucks that Nintendo won’t do more with vr. The switch screen may not be great for it, but if they were to make something like labo for the switch with a head strap it would be great. The joycons are also perfect for it.
@Friendly @Supadav03 I wouldn’t call it lazy, but they could have at least gone for a higher resolution. It is noticeable in the demo and the game would have looked so much better in 1080p. The frame rate isn’t an issue. It runs fine and they actually fixed the frame rate tanking when the juice fills up at the end which they didn’t need to do but did anyway so yeah this isn’t a lazy port.
@Grandiajet They don’t explain the games the best so the best thing to do is find an online tutorial or something explaining how it works. Maybe watch someone play the game.
Can you really give it a negative of no vr support on the switch if they have no option to do so and is petting the owl the only thing extra in vr other than it looking cool? I know that there is labo, but so far only Nintendo has used it and you have to hold the switch to your face so it wouldn’t work.
@Supadav03 Some new difficulty modes and a prologue and epilogue with Oliver and Louie. They showed some of it off and it is literally just a mission mode with Olimar and Louie.
@Minish-Cap The fruit could have been handled better, but I like that the rare bugs are rare because when you stumble across one it feels special. If they make the bugs too easy to find then we end up with a similar situation to Pokémon. I know that they are completely different games but the same concept is at play here with the bugs.
@Heavyarms55 To be fair this game was announced way too early and doesn’t even have all of the stuff that new leaf had. There was way more to unlock in that game. In this game you can unlock everything in 1-2 months.
@Minish-Cap Not really, it actually helps because that gives you incentive to keep playing. What they really need to do is adjust the dodo islands because you just end up getting the same one over and over. They should make them generate randomly and keep the few special ones in there.
Gonna be honest I haven’t had any reason to play this game since swimming. They’re going to have to add the roost back or something because this game gets repetitive too easily.
@Fandabidozi It’s really good. Don’t know how it compares to other squadron games. It has a few glitches like you can get stuck in some levels and have to restart. I mean literally stuck running into another ship and I’ve heard that there is a glitch with your save data, but other than that it’s really fun. The power management is really engaging and you have complete control over the ship. I haven’t played online yet, but if it’s half as good as the story mode then it’s worth picking up.
It is VIDEO GAME. Also hate the word gamer because it’s such a stereo type. Kids who play with toys don’t get called toyers do they? People who play board games don’t get called board gamers. So why do people who play VIDEO GAMES get called gamers?
@playstation_king Mario Odyssey is super easy and Paper Mario lets you buy the solution to the puzzle. Mario rabbids gives you an extra health option. These games are 100% made for kids. Not saying that anyone can’t play them because that’s part of what makes them so great because everyone can play them, but Nintendo makes them with kids in mind.
@Decapre @Crockin Super Mario Galaxy 2 is amazing. Super Mario Galaxy did it first but Super Mario Galaxy 2 perfected it and made a harder game as well.
I haven’t played the game, but motion controlled sword movement sounds awful. If it were to mimic your movements exactly then it would be great but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t. Also aren’t switch games 50 eruos not 70.
@RareFan I think that is a bit of an over exaggeration. The ports don’t effect the new games being made too much so why do you care just ignore it. This is also just are rumor that probably won’t come true so don’t get so worked up over nothing.
@Zeldawakening That’s probably the main reason, but I think it also has to do with security. On mac you have access to more stuff because computers can do more and I doubt they would make much money off of the store on Mac. Most people using computers know about the risks of downloading from the internet. They are more experienced than iPhone users. Most iPhone users have very little knowledge of the risks of downloading off of a browser and probably don’t even know how to do so. The App Store gives a safe way to download apps and a simple way. If they allowed iPhone users to download off of a browser there would be only crap on the App Store and people would have lots of problems with getting viruses and just plain wouldn’t know how to download the apps. The main reason is probably money, but it’s also that there are some people who like the App Store and they want to appeal to them because they are the majority which goes back to money.
@patbacknitro18 No, they did it because they weren’t getting a cut of the money. Epic added a way to buy the v-bucks outside of the App Store. I’m not defending Apple I’m just pointing out that the greed is on both sides and what do you expect. THEY ARE CORPORATIONS, THEIR MAIN GOAL IS TO MAKE MONEY.
@Bermanator They mark it as a duplicate so that there aren’t 1,000 reports of the same bug. That doesn’t mean that they aren’t working on it it just means that someone else reported it. They also have to fix bugs for at least 6 platforms along with bring the new content to them. There are too many bugs, but they are trying to fix them.
