Yeah, Japan hates the Xbox. It's pretty well documented without obscure figures like this. Sure it's interesting but I think this speaks more to the 3DS living on than the Xbox failing.

I always assumed they were some kind of inside joke with the devs or something.

Controller converters are great, was using a guitar from guitar hero to play tetris the other day when I got my Wingman XB.

@StevenG I assume you aren't implying that makes it legit in any way.

Of course it's on aliexpress....also 133 bucks is no chunk change for a knock off.

Have fun China just keep your censorship and requests for people's player info to yourself.

The name reminds me of those old force feedback chairs from the 90s

@TheFullAndy I think with it's current library it could live on for a long time without anyone being bored. I guess if Nintendo survived the Wii U it can handle a little momentum shift in the switch in the coming years. There comes a time when the new consoles are just the shiz and that's what everyone wants. switch came out after ps4 so it hasn't had the light taken away like this before

@TheFullAndy I'm not saying the console doesn't have a good library or great games haven't come out but I see almost nothing from those devs on the horizon while the recent current gen has a laundry list. I guess time will tell if they are just waiting to announce it. Imagine how much of their resources are probably tied up in making ps5 and series games though.

@TheFullAndy NIS are giving them a lot of great support along with Capcom making a monster hunter game for them. But overall development for new games from the big publishers, EA, Activision and Ubisoft is dramatically lower than it was just a few years ago.

@AndyC_MK84 Luckily Nintendo aren't really in a war as much as trying to find a path to their own survival. The big 2 can duke it out when there are actually enough systems to go around, one of these days.

@AndyC_MK84 Kind of ironic considering to modern developers it's Switch who? Oh the place for our ps3 games.

I love the Switch but when Third parties have a hard time with your system your days are numbered. Dreamcast, Vita

Not a lot of people are going to buy a ps4 with the ps5 coming out that year

EA had spit millions into the failed 3DO, they were ones to laugh...

Then when xbox came out of course madden was a launch title

@Slowdive who pays the people who work there? They don't pay themselves and they aren't there for fun.

You are comparing a development style with Hades to a government structure. If you don't get that companies and money are what breeds creation but love companies and live off money youre just short sighted.

@Slowdive In a world of communal sense of property there is no incentive for companies to develop and innovate as they will just be snatched up. You are arguing against capitalism while saying you like the stuff companies create.

1 day $76, 2 day $150, $1 off... is that really worth having 2 options for?

If you're ripping off assets and then putting ads in your games yeah... you kinda deserve it. I support Nintendo in discouraging this activity.

Those new switch pad pros look cool

Crazy that they were putting faster processors on a cart than the system itself had. SNES games flew into the 70 dollar range at one point and I'm guessing companies having to add stuff like this really contributed.

@dont_simp_for_them I guess not a lot, I mostly just use it for game sales and help. Got some cheap game keys on there

Pretty sure this is one moderator that will probably not be one anymore.

So 70% of it will be completely empty and dusty as hell. Or the cleaning costs will be through the roof. Sounds like a plan guys!

@Lordplops Uh.... not sure what to say about that one. If you own a switch and not a mobile you are a very small percentage or very young.

@Lordplops you bothered to hack your switch just to play roms you can play on any phone?

Or to steal AAA switch titles?

Haha this game always just reminds me of how salty ign got about it.

@Jhomesjones I guess I always assumed aiming with the cross hairs was the only.other way to go but that makes sense.

It still doesn't make it an enjoyable way to play a shooter after you experienced the dualshock. Which was released just over a year of GoldenEye

In hindsight I can still play doom and duke nukem 3D but the ridiculous auto aim of this game combined with not being able to play it without autoaim make it nearly unplayable now. It has aged like a loaf of bread.

@AndyC_MK84 well in any case Nintendo is twice as focused anyways having cut the ds line out. Talk about a lot of resources... Now to just get some metroid samus returns ported over.

@AndyC_MK84 well no it's not about being deprived it's about priorities. I guess if Nintendo needs cash on hand to greenlight new projects this will be more profitable and thus create MORE games. I hope they learned from the dismal animal crossing mobile and well received switch game it doesn't always work. I realize it's not one or the other but they would most likely only have so many balls up in the air at once for new projects in house and this is one of them.

@AndyC_MK84 why is programming new stuff for a 3D Mario game not considered real dev time? It looks better than the 3DS game and it's developed my Nintendo's main R&D.

@DrDaisy it appeared to use the Super Mario engine in the 2D sections and much of the graphics were similar. Tell me this doesn't look like a bowser castle?

Yakuza needs a series x to even hit 60fps. I'm afraid the draw distance would have to be almost nothing. It is one of the best RPGs of 2020 though and I'm honestly blown away at how it matches persona in style and gameplay.

@Azuris I mean create a pack of 8 of these whipping around the streets and see if the cops have an issue. Organized racing is illegal even if the cars themselves aren't specifically.

I mean they basically clogged up the street with illegal vehicles and used Nintendo to sell a ridiculous "service". It would be one thing if they made their own track and just needed to change up the characters but they didn't make a legitimate business for the court to uphold.

@Egit-kun I didn't even realize it had micros and I have about 10 hours into it.

Given it takes a ton of time to buy some characters who cares, it doesn't skimp with the roster at all.

480 in handheld mode from what sources say. I bought it for xbox and it's a great game though.

@DrDaisy 2d Mario style fighting and platforming was not fun or original for me and never done again. I think the fact that they never went for it again says it all.

It has a lot going for it and shows sega still has some superb quality control with some of their brands. I'm glad they didn't let someone throw bland polygons and muddy textures around back in the early downloadable game days.

Zelda 2 was trash. Glad they redeemed themselves cause it could have killed the whole series.

They never even fixed 4. So sloppy to announce the next game when after releasing a product so inferior.

I mean yeah it's fun and the Xbox version is the definitive experience of it. But the sophomore slump of zero killed the whole series. So basically perfect dark is just one game and one flop and done. Not much of a legacy

6/12 I guess I don't pay that much attention to names.

@matdub it is great. If you grew up during the 90s even better. My first internet connection was AOL on 28.8

Two Point Hospital had almost no compromises. It works just the same at the lower resolution and everything is there. If you think it's too hectic to control with a controller on smaller res just hit pause on the action and take your time.

Coolermaster? So it's a chicken warmer made by a pc case maker? I mean usually you would use this to keep chicken as you fry in batches, not buy a bucket and dump it in but it will be funny if they actually make some.

@sixrings no but you would need to own 2 nintendo systems if you wanted to play portable and third parties would barely support the handheld option still

At least switch lets nintendo focus their dev on one system, there is a reason no one else has a portable system because it's expensive to make 2 systems of first party games

I don't play favorites but I do have more nintendo consoles than any other company
sony (psp, vita, ps1, ps2, ps3, ps4)
nintendo (gba, ds, 3ds, nes, snes, n64, gamecube, Wii, Wii U, switch)
sega (Saturn, Dreamcast)
Microsoft (Xbox, 360, One, Series X)

Game is surpringly well liked on steam so it might be cool. I'll keep a look out, open area 3D fighters are not so common.

I have a feeling immortals got kind of lost in the fray on other consoles. But for switch which doesn't have new assassin's creed games it really stands out.
