@Strumpan Well, it can be both! Also, for a high profile launch title, production should have made sure the game wasn't struggling for whatever reason to have that be part of the story, especially for a brand new system.
@OorWullie I dunno, with a platforming DK game already too taxing, and being built specifically for the Switch 2, the S2 being known as a performance machine is looking less and less likely.
Also, did the robots choose to be disabled? Were they designed to mimic people who can't use their legs for others' entertainment? The entire concept is baffling...
I'm more surprised to hear that anyone thought that was seriously Switch 2 quality footage...
It was clearly in the "It's fine but no great shakes" category.
Also, not for nothin, but I'm really not looking forward to Professor Xavier-ing every door to open them. π
@Yosher Not a chance, it was still too public just by, well, existing. It's not news sites' jobs to protect Kickstarters from things they're doing wrong. They put themselves out there to get shut down, quite brazenly, with no effort from NL or anyone else.
@sonicbooming These things are not even close to similar. What would Nintendo sue those companies for, exactly? They're uploading their own product, lacking-in-quality as it is, to their shop through regular practices and Nintendo gets their cut as per usual. These fools were asking for a ridiculous amount of money to make a movie with Nintendo's own characters. Two things can happen at the same time.
@Yosher Or, you know, posting a highly public Kickstarter campaign asking for $30,000. That might draw some notice in and of itself, just maybe possibly.
@Setery you just blindly trust these people you don't know that every single dollar of the THIRTY THOUSAND they were asking for was going to be used in a way wholly for the production and not in any other possible way, ever? And also Nintendo should just assume the same and cross their fingers?

Re: Digital Foundry Delivers First Impressions Of Switch 2 - "It Stands Alone In What It Does"
So weird that not even DK is fully able to hit a steady 60fps.

Re: Round Up: The First Impressions Of 'Drag x Drive' For Switch 2 Are In
I really think reviewers are being unduly kind just because of the wheelchair aspect...
Re: Round Up: The First Impressions Of 'Drag x Drive' For Switch 2 Are In
So you can't even play it on the train or relaxing? π You HAVE to use mouse mode??
Re: Hands On: 'Drag x Drive' Is Fantastic, But Is It Destined To Be Switch 2's ARMS?
Also, did the robots choose to be disabled? Were they designed to mimic people who can't use their legs for others' entertainment? The entire concept is baffling...
Re: Hands On: 'Drag x Drive' Is Fantastic, But Is It Destined To Be Switch 2's ARMS?
Wait, do you have to play it in mouse mode? That sounds... inconvenient. Also, it sounds exhausting to play and not in fun way.

Re: Video: Metroid Prime 4 Looks Great, But Here's Why The Latest Trailer Isn't Switch 2 Footage
I'm more surprised to hear that anyone thought that was seriously Switch 2 quality footage...
It was clearly in the "It's fine but no great shakes" category.
Also, not for nothin, but I'm really not looking forward to Professor Xavier-ing every door to open them. π

Re: Tony Hawk Has Reportedly Demanded Bam Margera Be Included In New Game
@ibookboyuk Well, possibly not by Bam's brother Jess, what with his ruptured eardrum from his beating...
Re: Tony Hawk Has Reportedly Demanded Bam Margera Be Included In New Game
So, chronologically in-game, do the physical assaults on his family take place between missions, or...?

@Andee I've only played VI, and no, I haven't.

Re: Nintendo Places Outside Top 20 In Metacritic's 15th Annual Game Publisher Rankings
2024 was a pretty weak year; Brothership, Showtime and Echoes were all...OK, at best. Everything else was remaster/re-release.

@xmkbest how high did you set it to, or did you just keep it on Auto?

@xmkbest @kaiserGX Hmm, may have to try!
Re: Review: mClassic RGB Range - Colour Us Unimpressed With These Upscalers

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