I’m not an attorney here but can EA be sued for claiming that EA Sports FC is a “legacy edition” when there is no “legacy” to draw from does this mean that Switch owners are entitled to new game?
One issue is that I fear that on the “Switch 2” is that Nintendo will once again “start over” and pretend that they are doing us a favor by allowing us to play Super Mario Bros on yet another device, ignore the service, allow us to play Metroid, ignore the service, and so on.
If this subscription is here to stay it NEEEDS to be the same across both the Switch and “Switch 2” in terms of content.
It really does seem like Nintendo wants us to start over on every new device. So for the “Switch Next” it will be funny to see them trot out Super Mario Bros again.
I’ve been around the gaming industry a long time, I’ve been a reader of this website for many many many years and this is the first time that I don’t understand something.
I think the Switch is going to be my last gaming device since industry is going in a direction that I can no longer comprehend.
It always felt strange that Acclaim published Crazy Taxi on the PS2 and GameCube. If I recall, Sega claimed that they were “too busy” to handle the ports.

Andro’s plays better on the 3DS than on the Switch.

Re: It's Official: EA Drops The 'FIFA' Brand In Favour Of 'EA Sports FC'

I purchased mine last June before the delisting glad I did now.

Giving Star Fox yet another chance? Jesus Christ man.
Re: It Looks Like Nintendo's Game Boy Emulator For Switch Online Just Leaked
And I also get the vibe that this could be one of those things that turns out to be true but in some leaked document in 10 years.
“GBA support was planned on NSO for the Switch but Nintendo couldn’t emulate the battery indicator led so it was scrapped.”
Re: It Looks Like Nintendo's Game Boy Emulator For Switch Online Just Leaked
It might not happen but it would be nice if the Shaman King Master of Spirits 1 & 2 got a second chance here.
Re: Square Enix Officially Announces Kingdom Hearts IV
Sora is too pretty…

Re: Black Isle Studios Is Bringing Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II To Switch In 2022
I’d kill to have a physical release of the two Dark Alliance games.
Re: Soapbox: Why Can't Nintendo Offer Both Virtual Console And Switch Online?
One issue is that I fear that on the “Switch 2” is that Nintendo will once again “start over” and pretend that they are doing us a favor by allowing us to play Super Mario Bros on yet another device, ignore the service, allow us to play Metroid, ignore the service, and so on.
If this subscription is here to stay it NEEEDS to be the same across both the Switch and “Switch 2” in terms of content.
Re: PSA: Update All Your 3DS Games, Even The Ones You Don't Own (Just In Case)
I did Federation Force today.
Re: Mario Strikers: Battle League Switch File Size Seemingly Revealed
Who sold their soul at Nintendo in order to do these compression techniques?

I think this would of been avoided had the Switch included a 3DS slot like it had in earlier designs.
Re: Random: "I'm Able To Trust Sony More Than Nintendo" - Japan Reacts To The Closure Of The Wii U And 3DS eShops

Primitive Screwheads, they can’t release a game on time…

I would buy it, but it would have to be all on the upcoming cartridge.
Re: The Wii U Is Getting A New eShop Game In 2022, Will Include Balance Board Support
From what I can gather, the series is decent. The only reason I never downloaded the 3DS game is the price.

It’s still insanity that the Mobile version of Symphony is not on the Switch.

Re: Ubisoft: Players "Don't Get" What Makes NFTs So Beneficial
I’ve been around the gaming industry a long time, I’ve been a reader of this website for many many many years and this is the first time that I don’t understand something.

Re: Microsoft Buys Activision Blizzard, Now Owns Call Of Duty And Crash Bandicoot
I think Geometry Wars Galaxies is the only Activision game that I own.

Re: Exclusive: Former Sega President Wanted Virtua Fighter 3 And Crazy Taxi On The Nintendo 64
