Oldies remember how good Pokemon the first movie did at Box Office and anime was everywhere like the card game and all that was half a century ago. Ok now they had their bigger mainstream hit with Mario but Nintendo was always an entertainment company with gaming at the core.
How much time, money and developing costs would go to translate the menus in obsolete software? Well less than what they make if they had a dedicated team for that. Also there are still thousands of English GB-GBA titles to chose from
@Logicfire xbox was always flatlined in Japan despite all the efforts, actually it did better this gen than the last. I think Japanese people still prefer physical so that's why even digital PS5 is struggling
I wish they release NBA Jam Fire edition remaster on Switch. I got NBA2k22 from PS Plus on my other console and haven't even installed it even though I'm basketball fan. Too many confusing and complicated modes.
Pure trash, but imagine having something like that in late 80s. Nintendo should just buy Analogue, make some improvements to the design and bezels and produce the pocket for the masses
well the video quality is so bad we can't say much about graphics. Fifa 23 was outdated crap but still run at crisp and solid 1080p/60fps. I'm curous how well this run
think it was like $14 on sale on xbox and even then i didn't buy it. No chance i'm paying $50 for a non optimized PS3 port, developers put 0 effort, not resolution, no fps upgrade.
I'm just hoping they are already making next gen main game of Switch 2 and its something more like Black/White. Gamefreak delivered quantity but not quality this gen. We already had like Lets go, Sword/Shield,Scarlet/ Violet, BD&SP Remake, Arceus. I think thats more than enough for one generation. They totally sold over 110 million units (with Snap and Mystery Dungeon)
They can do better
I bought DS XL bundle with Pokemon Black, for just €100 at a major retail shop just few months after 3DS was out. I hope we see major discounts on Switch
Oh, i dont know if i will play. I'm still little afraid hackers will gain access to my Wii U via remote control and enjoy games like Wii Sports Club for free while i'm sleeping
@Uncle_Franklin Ofc it does, it's moving to a downscaled version of frostbite, it's a whole new game for Switch, with ultimate team mode, that's great news. It only took them 6 years. Hope it runs good
Smart thing they kept the number on the title cause marketing guys told them that FC24 looks more like FIFA24 than just EA Sports FC. They should spent a little more on advertisement this year. Why they shouldn't release it on Switch? They just change the cover and some interns do a roster update and its still printing money.
This looks a downgrade even compared to original arcade game, yes with much higher resolution. Dont like the art. Wish you could play as "Green man" (main boss second level of the game)
I like Nintendo but as a gamer first I prefer a healthy competition instead of a total dominance. New Final Fantasy is a great game and it deserves better
@Desrever I don't think 8K tvs will be mainstream anytime soon, and i don't really see it as the future of gaming. 4k/60 fps with RT (or not) will still be the standard even for PS6. Switch 2 will be weaker than Series S and S can handle 1080p/60fps. I don't know if Nintendo with Nvidia with DLSS can pull a 1440p/60fps,
So one guy just stole one copy of the game and failed to show up for work cause he was having a blast. Well its not like Amazon Japan will go bankrupt cause of this
Is it possible to port Playstation 5/Series X games on Switch? We know that this was "technically impossible" for games like Resident Evil 7 on PS4.
Maybe i would prefer it to stay "new gen" only but lets wait and see.

Re: Talking Point: Should The Pokémon Company Stick To Just One Pokémon Presents A Year?
Just save Pokemon presents for the next main game. Then again I'm no longer the target audience. Maybe 12 year olds appreciate it.

Re: Random: Fan Reimagines Resident Evil 4 As A 2D Side-Scroller

Re: UK Charts: FIFA 23 Takes First Place Ahead Of Switch FC 24 Debut
@5th313ment it is a real non legacy version in frostbite engine. We just have to see how great it runs.
Re: EA Sports FC 24 Switch Gameplay Trailer Revealed, Frostbite Engine Confirmed
Is it me or the visuals looks like a major step-down even from PS4 version? (more than expected)
We have to wait reviews to be sure.
