@Duncanballs i would like a new Sega console myself, but there's no room in the market. Nintendo was in danger before Switch, mighty Sony is struggling too (specially in Japan) in a very competitive market, and xbox is still on the game only cause of the near unlimited money muscle of mother company. I don't see how sega can compete with game pass and playstation plus
Pricing is strange. The Mass Effect trilogy legendary edition cost just 29$ right now on Steam or PS Store and that's three AAA games. I may buy Etrian Origin if it was 20$
I thought it was just April Fool's but you can really order the video cartridge. Would be interesting if they could actually port it for GBA. It should be possible with some magic in video compression
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure, was one of my favorite games of all times. The VGA version you got for free with a VGA card was really jaw dropping at the time. It was like a game version of the movie. Really ahead of its time.
-No free upgrades to 60 fps (the way PS and Xbox do it)
-Got to buy everything again
@aaronsullivan This is the one thing that will never happen in next 15 years at least. Wii U sold just 13.56 million units and still Nintendo didn't even consider to bring her precious franchises to other platforms. Specially not after Switch sold 122,5 million units!
I liked Soul Calibur back in the day, got the latest one on PS4 but they all feel like the same game to me. I read that
SC VI reached 2 million copies sold so there may be hope for a new entrance, maybe in Switch 2?
I hope now they can let Ash grow up and become a real boy. They could make him at least 16 in later seasons, its not just new 12 year old kids watching the show
When 3ds came out i bought at a major retail shop a DSiXL bundled with Pokemon Black for 100€. Ok it was a bargain and but still i find it hard to justify 80€ for a digital game (thats the price in EU). Thats almost the price of an entry Xiaomi Smartphone
I think it was discounted years ago. Didn't pull the trigger then i did it now. Havent seen an offer for ages. Business model of the game was a failure cause people are addicted to F2P model in mobiles. Its actually made by the same team that made New Super Mario on DS. Nintendo tried to see if people were willing to pay for it. Guess they werent.
Phil Spencer is not a game developer. From a business point of view ofc he wants to hit a certain level of quality on Nintendo platforms. Infinity Ward or Panic button may know a thing or two more about the limitations of Nintendo's current hardware. I don't see this happening on Switch but some port of old Modern Warfare is possible
From a business decision it may makes sense. As a gamer though i see E3 as a big celebration of gaming and i really miss the old days when all big 3 were participating with big booths and special events and each company was trying to be more impressive than the other.
Hope next COD game on handheld will be better than Black Ops: Declassified crap
So the monopoly starts at Playstation 7 era. This is the long scam, i will be too old then to care
Pokemon is by far the most well known Nintendo franchise, outside gaming. Its been so successful on other mediums like smartphones, tv, movies for decades. There will be a separate park Pokemon World with Pokemon Safari or what?
I waited for decades for Roberta to come back, and the result is a step back even from Sierra worst attempts. I'm still hoping for a decent Phantasmagoria HD full remake if the original video source is available in some salvage form.
We're gamers first. Switch sales are already slow down. Time to schedule Switch 2. Playstation 5 should invest more in Japanese market. It almost feels like an american company
@Don Pokemon Yellow/Blue/Red/Gold/Silver/Crystal are maybe the best selling (or among the best selling) games in 3DS e-shop. They won't give them away on extra tier or they will save them for Switch 2
I'm all digital too. When PS Vita and 3ds were released people were saying that these could be the last dedicated handheld portable consoles and that people now use their smartphones for games and cloud is the future blah blah blah. 12 years later and Switch outsold gameboy in the era of smartphones. Handhelf devices arent going anywhere anytime soon
Nintendo could break PS2 record if it slashes price but this doesn't really isn't a goal. Switch 2 will come next 2 years cause sales already started to slow down. It wont break PS2 record but still an impressive run. Just hope they wont screw this up again like with Wii U.
Switch is so weak it can't even run a remaster of a 26 year old N64 game that looks dreadful and is near unplayable cause of controls at solid 30 fps. And yeah it's even worse in the four-player split-screen, consistently running at 20 FPS
Not all video games translate to big (or small) screen well. Pokemon do. Last of us do. I still seriously doubt that Mario is well suited for a movie or tv series but at least characters look the same as the game, so it wont be a flop

Re: Soapbox: Can We Stop Pretending Switch Can't Run Call Of Duty?
Xbox Series S can play 'Ori and the Will of the Wisps' in 4K at 60 fps, so its not any wonder that Switch can run it at 900p
