Amazing device. It will definitely kill the switch for me. Except for the first party games from Nintendo. I have no doubt that every third party game will run much better on the deck.
@FX102A yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I have the expansion pack, but I would much rather own the DLC. On the other hand, it’s DLC, you never really own it 👎🏻
Great news! This has to be THE game I wanted on switch te most. But august is a little bit to late. I’ll have my steamdeck by then, so I see no need to buy this in switch too. But to anyone with only a switch, these are some of the best action games out there.
@NotoriousWhiz it says “now with touchscreen support” in de launch video, so I’m guessing yes. Don’t know what other touch functionalities they could implement.
@progx I’m glad there are people liking it, but for me personally it’s unplayable in this state. I don’t care for top notch graphics, but I just hate if I can’t control a game because of lag spikes and frame drops. It should’ve been a constant 30fps, but too bad it’s not. It’s sucking all the fun out of the game for me right now.
@Stocksy I tried GTA3 and SA and both had performance problems in handheld. Haven’t tried docked yet. Also, because of the framedrops in both games, it’s sometimes pretty hard to control your vehicle. Graphic wise the game isn’t the best looking one, but I’m not really bothered by that. It’s the framedrops that kill the game for me.
@Krull controls are fine on switch. Takes a little bit of time to get used to, but once you do…. It’s such a great game and the port is so wel done. Love it!
@carlos82 I agree there should be more boards, but the boards that are there, are fantastic. I’m pretty sure if this sells well, there will be DLC down the line.
I’m 4 hours in and I’m having a great time. Takes a little bit of time to get used to the graphics on Switch, but once you get used to that and the gameplay, things start to click.
@reporterdavid yeah, I’m Dutch 😊. Forgot about Lego city. Hm, that one was quite fun actually. 60 euro’s is al lot of money, but you’re going to get 3 long ass games for that. On the other hand, Star Wars Kotor will release on the same day… that game will only cost you €12.50.
@Kidfunkadelic83 yeah, it is a pretty big game. It’s very rewarding if you can figure out how to play. Maybe look at some let’s play videos instead of tutorials. Maybe that’ll help.
@Kidfunkadelic83 is the tutorial bad? I haven’t mastered the game, but I do know how most mechanics work. Working out a good strategy is a different beast of course. Would love to help you out, but I guess you’ll need to write down some practical questions or something.
@Friendly Yes, on the SNES version. When you finish the game for the first time, you’ll need to play the retry mode and when you finish that, you’ll get the gift mode 🙂
Retry mode is essentially a New Game+. All experience and money you receive from enemies is quadrupled. For the rest it plays exactly like a normal game.
Gift mode is limited to Ancient Cave only, however you do get to pick your team for it (only Maxim is mandatory).
@Friendly if you complete the game 2 (or 3) times, you can play the cave and choose your own party. The game only lets you play the cave after completing it 2 or 3 times I believe.
@Friendly hm, you’ll at least need Arty and probably Dekar. Not sure on the fourth character. Maybe Selan. I’m not really fond of Guy. He’s just a weaker Dekar to me. Besides that, you’ll need a lot of lucky rng 😉
@Barbara001 true true, but if they would add Lufia... damn, I’ll be playing that ancient cave for weeks to come. It’s such a good game and talking about it makes me want to play it even more 😍
Fallout new Vegas should be doable. I personally would love to see the Perfect Dark remaster that came out for Xbox 360. That game is still the gold standard for FPS games. So Rare Replay would be nice. Furthermore I would like to see Lufia 2 for SNES online. If they then release MGS 1, 2 and 3, I won’t need any more games on Switch 😉

This is an instant buy for me. I love this game. Best build engine game!
Re: Nightdive Studios Just Won't Stop, Announces Yet Another Remaster
@AG_Awesome that would be insane. Also part 2.
Re: Nintendo Forecasts Profits And Sales To Drop In This Financial Year
I’m curious if there are more people like me. Switch was my main platform, but now that I have the Steam Deck, the switch is collecting dust.

@clianvXAi oh good point. The steam sales are notoriously beter then what the e-shop provides 👍🏻

Re: Grand Theft Auto Trilogy Has "Done Just Great" Despite Disastrous Launch
The game is still a hot mess. 🤬
Re: 'Pandemic' Will Apparently Be Removed From The Switch eShop This July
Glad I have the cardboard version. Publishers will never take that away from me 🙂
Re: Random: Pandemic Shooter's eShop Page Makes You Wonder If Anyone At Nintendo Checks These Things
Of course you can make jokes like these. Nothing wrong here.

Re: Review: Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition - Three Classics In One Shocking Package
A 4/10 sounds about right. The framerate is all over the place and that’s killing the game for me. Controls are horrible because of said frame drops.

I wish there was a cheat code to get better performance 😅
Re: Watch: This Is What Grand Theft Auto Definitive Trilogy Looks Like On Switch
The games run like crap. Waste of money to me
Re: Don't Forget About Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic, It's Also Out Now On Nintendo Switch
@Krull controls are fine on switch. Takes a little bit of time to get used to, but once you do…. It’s such a great game and the port is so wel done. Love it!
Re: The Best Switch Joy-Con Finally Get A Grip For TV Play
It’s okay that the original split pad doesn’t support ‘all that jazz’. It makes it so that the controller is super lightweight.
Re: Football Manager 2022 Touch Is Out Now On Nintendo Switch
The controls on switch killed FM2020 for me. They were really bad.

Re: UK Charts: Mario Party Superstars Stays Third As Switch Takes Four Of The Top Ten
@Kid_Sickarus you won’t regret it. It’s tons of fun. Even if you just play the ice hockey mini game 😅
Re: UK Charts: Mario Party Superstars Stays Third As Switch Takes Four Of The Top Ten
Superstars is the best Mario Party game since MP5. Go buy this game and let’s hope for more boards.

@Larams thanks! I may have to try it out again some time 👍🏻

Re: Poll: The Hype For Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy Is High, Is It In Your Switch Plans?
Definitely buying them. There are no good alternatives on Switch. I didn’t enjoy the port of Saints row 3.
Re: Aspyr Reveals Two Star Wars Bundles For Nintendo Switch
@Azuris you can do that. The Jedi knight games are both great ports.
Re: Rockstar Officially Announces Grand Theft Auto Trilogy For Switch
That’s nice , but could you share some metroid guides 😜
Re: Review: Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot + A New Power Awakens Set - An Iconic Story Retold Well
I’m 16 hours in and I still love it. Not a major DB fan, but this game is just solid.
Re: Feature: 20 Super NES Classics Nintendo Should Bring To Switch Online
@Friendly yes! There’s so much replayability with this one and it’s all around a great game. Best soundtrack on SNES 😍

Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd April (Europe)

Re: Civilization VI's Next Free Update Introduces A 'Barbarian Clans' Mode
@Kidfunkadelic83 haha, I understand. Sometimes it helps just to play the game and see what happens. You’ll learn a lot that way.

Re: Feature: 6 Huge Video Game Franchises Missing From Nintendo Switch

Have fun!

Re: Feature: 6 Huge Video Game Franchises Missing From Nintendo Switch
@Barbara001 just add Rise of the Sinistrals to SNES online and I personally would be very very happy
Re: IO Interactive Reconfirms Hitman 3 Will Launch On Switch Alongside Other Versions
@iulis84 I don’t think you can compare W3 and hitman 3. Try running them both on a pc and you’ll notice W3 runs on a patato.
