oh lord, i am so happy, that i've cancelled my physical preorder! i have preordered it- but the physical release got delayed ON THE RELEASE DATE!!!!! (screw you big ben) until the end of january, so i have decided to cancel it - and holy cow - i am glad i did it hahaha
watched some gameplay footage. really looks like botw with boobs. i wonder if it's using UE4. if so, it will look much worse on switch. UE4 isn't really well optimised. but whatever it's using, the game itself does look nice.
booby link with little child fairy ...but i prefer navi from ocarina of time ;P
Best RPG from SEGA of all time ... my Top 3: Skies of Arcadia, Grandia 2 and Phantasy Star Online <3
1 and 3 need a remake ;D Grandia 2 is already out on Switch <3
Dreamcast was like WiiU - So many AAA First Party Games on there, to push sales ... If the WiiU were more succesful, we might never saw Games like Splatoon or Bayonetta2. Like SEGA in the past, Nintendo tried to push the console with high quality games (shenmue, skies, rez, the sonic adventure series, pso on dreamcast / splatoon, tokio mirage, 3dworld and more on wiiu) but on both sides, that sadly didn't worked out as much as it should.
hope sega will port those gems someday over to switch as part of the sega ages lineup
PS: sorry for my bad english, it'S early in the morning, i need coffee hahaha
honestly, i am having still dead by daylight fever hahaha 1k hours and counting ... but i wanna start botw again . bought the season pass finally during the christmas sale - but everytime i start my switch, i end up playing dbd xD . and tetris 99 of course ;D also bought the big block dlc and i try to unlock every theme with those stupid tickets hehe
@TheAwesomeBowser since i never had a wii u, i also wish they will announce a 3D world port sooner than later ... i was really upset, when they've announced new super mario bros U deluxe instead last year .. that game is mediocre and not worth 60bucks, more like 20. but 3D-world .... i would buy it day 1 (the 3DS Version was awesome)
great ... and in europe amazon lists that game still at 70€ ~~ 60 pounds. hope they will soon correct the price to the lower 60€price tag and add the preorder bonuses
bought the game day 1 ....but haven't uploaded or created a single level since then hahahaha. wonder if i am the only one, only playing stages instead of creating them
yeah i hope so .... guess, if there will be a new sonic game this year, maybe they'll release it during sonic's birthday (june) .... so if we're lucky, only 6 more months to go ;D
who knows, maybe in the next nintendo direct this or next month, we will see some gameplay footage ;D
A completely "new" Sonic Mania sequel .... i love sonic mania, but 90% were reused levels. just make a game with new levels / music till the new 3D Adventure will appear somewhen in 2021.
or new dlc for team sonic racing ;D
but whatever they're teasing here - GIVE IT TO ME ALREADY !!!!!!!
My 1 1/2 year old black joy con (L), which wasn't used that often (pro controller ftw) - startet to crack while using the stick. something inside is kinda "blocking" while moving .... i have used the joy con probably 100 times in these 500 days since i bought this replacement switch.
even my pro controller's stick is in a really bad condition. the plastic around the stick is horribly frayed. and i am carefully using my hardware ... i love the switch and it's hardware, but at the same time i hate it'S build quality, which is really low .... especially if you think about the price tag!
for me, it seems like nintendo tried to compensate the HIGH loss with their wii u system ... produce cheaper, sell more expensive, to fill their bank account ;P the wii u pro controller was higher quality, than the switch's one ...
70bucks for the pro, 77+ for the joy cons ... (€) - my 38€ xbox 360 for windows controller from 2006(!!!!) is in a better condition than the 1 year old pro controller .... and i'm using the xbox 360 pad daily since 13 years now ...
i really hope the quality from the switch lite's built-in joy cons is higher ... if my light is starting to freak out in a couple of months - i'll say bye bye nintendo hardware and hello sony hahaha ;D
@bluedogrulez Even the 8bitdo SF30 Pro (SNES Controller) does have a WAY better D-Pad than every "original" Nintendo Pro Controller So i might think - yes. I love the pro controller, but the d-pad is the worst ever built ... i am so happy that they've done a better job with the switch lite's d-pad.
Since Switch is my last Video-Game console (xbox se(x) and ps5 does not interesst me in any way - i've never cared less about an console launch) i would be happy, if we can get a 10+ years lifespan. switch is all i need, i have even sold my xbox one a couple of days ago, because for 99,999% of my time, i only play on switch. and in 10 years, i am 45 years old, so who knows if i am still interessted in "new" technology. all i can say is, that i hate "realistic" graphics in games. that's why i prefer japanese games anyways. i prefer colorful - graphics and good gameplay, over realistic "pew pew pew" games that's why xbox was the fail system of this generation for me.
For example Shenmue 3 - i love that game. It's "new" with pretty graphics, but still - not realistic. Everything is colorful, humans look like a mix of realistic and anime - style. that's what i like
@ancientlii at least they send you an email with instructions to turn it off. it would be scam if they would not inform you about that auto-renew thing ;D
btw. i've got the game day 1 - sure it isn'T as good as smb 2 - but still a great game (the main game) - mini games like snowboarding are litterally trash - but the main game is awesome. i'm lonving it.
i just cannot understand, why they haven't included monkey bowling or billiard ... those were my fav. mini-games in the series. especially bowling, which i have played more often than the main game on gamecube hahaha
and i don't know why people complaing about the price tag - there's games out there, which are maybe worth 15 bucks, but they cost 60 bucks, for example zelda links awakening. in my oppinion that game is a 4 / 10 game and not worth more than 15 bucks.
Yeah, if they put the game someday on switch, hopefully the way better dreamcast version, which was on par with the pc version. high resolution and fps. n64 was .... foggy and laggy :/ also the fmv cutscenes where missing and lower audio quality.
i mean c'mon, even when the n64 had some good games, but the hardware was not even close as powerful as the dreamcast was.
i really love the game on switch. i also have the pc and xbox version. pc, of course, is the best one - the switch version does look like the initial release from the xbox one back in 2017. and for a unreal engine 4 game, it is impressive in my opinion. look how ugly fortnite looks and runs on switch, especially the shadow - draw distance in front of your face - or the upcoming dauntless - ugly af - same engine. behaviour did an awesome job, and i'll bet they will improve the graphics over time, now that also the mobile version is out (beta). but i really think, it is the best looking UE4 engine game on switch so far and runs way better, than the first release on xbox one back in 2017 ... on xbox that game had massive fps issues - very often below 20 fps all the time - switch version runs mainly at stable 30. and for a 35€ game, that is pretty good. the dlc prices are expensive, but the good thing is, you don't have to buy them. or not all of them. most of the dlc survivors you can unlock with ingame - currency, which you earn from playing the game. that will take a while, but it is possible. 2 weeks out - 150 hours played already on switch and i am loving it sure alot of bugs there, but they are on all plattforms hahaha
that's lame .... even the OG xbox version did have multiplayer included ... why they just don't have ported that version instead .... oh well, no buy for me then https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPd-fW54upE
i already have it on steam and xbox 360, but would be awesome to play alan wake on switch too - reach more people.
hopefully the "real" alan wake, if the rumor is true and not the bad american nightmare XBOX Arcade game .... that was horrible.
i just hope for a second game, to finish the story! alan wake is and was the last good remedy game for me .... i've played quantum break ...but meh ---mediocre. the new game - no interest in playing it - but gimme alan wake back and i'm happy
5 years ago, feral interactive did also port this game over to linux! they're doing an awesome job with these windows ports. the game runs great on linux & mac - so i guess it will be as good as possible on switch too.
they've also ported tomb raider (1st one and rise of), dirt rally, dirt 4 and more titles to linux. so my guess is - if this game does well, maybe we'll see also tomb raider in future on our little number 1 console ;D
i would buy rise of the tomb raider or shadow of the tomb raider on day 1 - go feral go!!! <3
@Tandoori Yes, Logo, package and games where all in blue.
because a company in germany (afaik) did have the "same" logo as the dreamcast with the same orange color. so sega made theirs blue in europe, to avoid legal problems.
the only games i was hoping for - DKC triology ... at least i will save some space - no snes online app for me then xD hope they will add at least one of the dkc games soon
I think i will pass on this one. i've already bought it 2015 for linux. feral did also the linux port of this game - it's awesome, but not worth to buy it again on switch.
but they did an awesome job on linux - the game looks absolutely gorgeous on linux with ultra settings.
so i am looking forward to the switch version beeing also excellent.
but i was hoping, to get dirt rally 2 on switch instead .... this game is just too old to let me buy it again, especially when i have it already.
the linux port from dirt rally 1 is also from feral - so they have experience with porting codemasters games from windows to other operating systems / consoles ;D
they did also the alien isolation port from SEGA for linux ... another game i won't buy again (already have it on linux and xbox one ...) but at least "we" know, the games are in good hands - feral interactive is just awesome when i comes to ports of games.
I just hope the port is better than the xbox one version, because of aweful online lag ... basically no online game possible - no NAT problems, constant 75mbits <- only speedrunners had problems on my xbox. i loved to play the game on my linux pc system - no problems there with the same internet connection.
let's hope they'll release a demo ... i don't need another "mario maker 2" lag - fest (even with usb lan adapter mostly unplayable hahaha) - mario kart, warframe and other games - no problems there ...
I guess the Switch will be strong enough, but the crappy Game & Engine isn't ready for such Hardware.
To be honstest - Other Online Games like Warframe or DC Universe are awesome on Switch.
But even if the Graphic on ESO is REALLY dated, the game still runs like poo on XBOX One S. Framedrops to below 15 alot of times. So it might be an Engine / Gamecode Problem, rather than the lack of Hardware power ..
I mean, the xbox one does have alot of crappy ports with bad framerate, but we all know how "powerfull" the xbox one can be, if treated right. like the switch. the ESO engine is an unoptimized PC thing... and they still struggle to get it right on xbox (probably also on ps4). so, it's better they skip that lagging mess on switch
i bet they'll wait until xcloud is ready for the public and then try to bring it even to the switch. just a simple 3mb app ... and all the games are playable over streaming. if that is the future, i will refuse to buy any new game console ;D i always wanted to complete or "restart" my sega saturn libary. so if streaming is the future, my future are retro console collections only ;D
SNES - R-Button Problems - even with brand new controllers.
N64 - 4 Controllers - 4 Dead Analog Sticks
Gamecube - 5 Controller, 3 of them had L&R Button Problems after a couple of months.
Switch - After 1 Year the joy con batteries last only about 7 hours. i haven't used them often! probably 20 times in that year.
Pro Controller - really bad and spongy d-pad ... also L&R Button problems and a really loud clickin' ZR Button. And also the battery only lasts 10 to 15 hours since the beginning! Nintendo refused to exchange it ....
My new neon green and neon pink joy con set does have really sharp edges on the "dpad". so a fabrication error more or less - cheap plastic.
the only company where i never had any issues, not matter how old the hardware is, is SEGA. even my 21 year old dreamcast runs and plays game like it's brandnew (the dead batterie inside is an exception - but that's normal after over 20 years ...)
they should renew the tony hawk License - and port thps 1 to 4 combined for switch ;D LOCAL MULTIPLAYER - OFFLINE included ... not like that **** thps5 bugfest with online only mp ....
i wonder why they refuse to tell us the price .... maybe a bad sign? but because i have grandia 2 already remstatered on steam and the original - working - dreamcast version - i wouldn't pay more than 30 bucks for the collection. i have already played grandia 1 on saturn back in 1997, bought the ps-vita ps1 port ... so if it is more expensive than 30bucks for both games - no buy ...
but i believe, because they don't wanna talk about the price tag on twitter, i guess it will be way more expensive ...
Bought it back in 2017 ...played it 2 days - sold it. one of the worst and lamest games, ever made by any company .... so no, i haven't touched the game since 2 days after it's launch
I'll wait for DBD on switch .... preordered that already months ago. i have dbd on pc and xbox too - friday the 13th ...... i hear alot of complains about bugs and glitches on xbox. so i've never bought that. i may pick up the switch version for 10bucks ;P should drop in price fast hehe
Banjo Kazooie was awesome. So much better than Mario 64. I've finished it more than 50 times haha. But Banjo - Tooie ... I haven't finished it a single time. Don't know why, but the Second Game wasn't really good at all. Especially if you compare it to the first game.
and since microsoft bought rare - every banjo game was basically golden crap ;P
But i don't think i would rebuy them on switch ... have the "16:9 remasters" already on xbox 360/one. Good game, but not worth to spend money on it again .... And a new game? Rare isn't rare anymore - see Sea of Thieves. SoT is a nice game, but has nothing to do with the masterpieces from rare, we saw 20 years ago (DKC1,2,3, Goldeneye, Banjo...)
Grandia 2, one of the best Dreamcast Games ever made <3 Cannot wait to buy this the 4th time (Dreamcast, old PC Version based on the disgusting PS2 port with ugly textures and washed out colors + low res, PC HD Dreamcast original Remaster and now Switch
@Galarian_Lassie sure i have, everything on master system, mega drive, and even today - sonic mania, cuphead. but those games are both at 20bucks, that's a fair price. to pay full price for this minigame, just don't feels right for me.
but if you enjoy it, it's awesome. for me it is just like a 10 bucks android minigame.
and btw. i would never touch activision crap like cod the only good games acitivsion has ever released, was the THPS series.

But even if the Graphic on ESO is REALLY dated, the game still runs like poo on XBOX One S. Framedrops to below 15 alot of times. So it might be an Engine / Gamecode Problem, rather than the lack of Hardware power ..
I mean, the xbox one does have alot of crappy ports with bad framerate, but we all know how "powerfull" the xbox one can be, if treated right. like the switch. the ESO engine is an unoptimized PC thing... and they still struggle to get it right on xbox (probably also on ps4). so, it's better they skip that lagging mess on switch
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 24th)

Re: Microsoft Reiterates That It Would Like To See Xbox Game Pass On Other Platforms
i bet they'll wait until xcloud is ready for the public and then try to bring it even to the switch. just a simple 3mb app ... and all the games are playable over streaming. if that is the future, i will refuse to buy any new game console ;D i always wanted to complete or "restart" my sega saturn libary. so if streaming is the future, my future are retro console collections only ;D
Re: Nightdive Studios CEO Says Shadow Man On Switch "Is Possible"

Re: Poll: Have You Ever Had Problems With Nintendo Hardware?
SNES - R-Button Problems - even with brand new controllers.
N64 - 4 Controllers - 4 Dead Analog Sticks
Gamecube - 5 Controller, 3 of them had L&R Button Problems after a couple of months.
Switch - After 1 Year the joy con batteries last only about 7 hours. i haven't used them often! probably 20 times in that year.
Pro Controller - really bad and spongy d-pad ... also L&R Button problems and a really loud clickin' ZR Button. And also the battery only lasts 10 to 15 hours since the beginning! Nintendo refused to exchange it ....
My new neon green and neon pink joy con set does have really sharp edges on the "dpad". so a fabrication error more or less - cheap plastic.
the only company where i never had any issues, not matter how old the hardware is, is SEGA. even my 21 year old dreamcast runs and plays game like it's brandnew (the dead batterie inside is an exception - but that's normal after over 20 years ...)
Re: Activision Eager To Revive More Classics After The Success Of Crash Bandicoot

Re: Sickhead Games Helped Out With The Grandia HD Collection
i wonder why they refuse to tell us the price .... maybe a bad sign? but because i have grandia 2 already remstatered on steam and the original - working - dreamcast version - i wouldn't pay more than 30 bucks for the collection. i have already played grandia 1 on saturn back in 1997, bought the ps-vita ps1 port ... so if it is more expensive than 30bucks for both games - no buy ...
but i believe, because they don't wanna talk about the price tag on twitter, i guess it will be way more expensive ...
Re: Feature: It's Time To Lay Down Your ARMS

Re: New Banjo-Kazooie Merch Fuels Fresh Speculation Over A Series Revival
Banjo Kazooie was awesome. So much better than Mario 64. I've finished it more than 50 times haha. But Banjo - Tooie ... I haven't finished it a single time. Don't know why, but the Second Game wasn't really good at all. Especially if you compare it to the first game.
and since microsoft bought rare - every banjo game was basically golden crap ;P
But i don't think i would rebuy them on switch ... have the "16:9 remasters" already on xbox 360/one. Good game, but not worth to spend money on it again .... And a new game? Rare isn't rare anymore - see Sea of Thieves. SoT is a nice game, but has nothing to do with the masterpieces from rare, we saw 20 years ago (DKC1,2,3, Goldeneye, Banjo...)
Re: The Grandia HD Collection Is "Coming Soon" To Nintendo Switch
Grandia 2, one of the best Dreamcast Games ever made <3 Cannot wait to buy this the 4th time (Dreamcast, old PC Version based on the disgusting PS2 port with ugly textures and washed out colors + low res, PC HD Dreamcast original Remaster and now Switch
Re: Hands On: Building Upon A Solid Foundation In Super Mario Maker 2
@Galarian_Lassie sure i have, everything on master system, mega drive, and even today - sonic mania, cuphead. but those games are both at 20bucks, that's a fair price. to pay full price for this minigame, just don't feels right for me.
but if you enjoy it, it's awesome. for me it is just like a 10 bucks android minigame.
and btw. i would never touch activision crap like cod the only good games acitivsion has ever released, was the THPS series.
