@johnvboy Of course you can disagree, it's only you're being sarcastic at times towards others, me including, and its not appreciated when you are making it personal.
@johnvboy I can't see the good value here. I don't like NES games, I can't use voice chat natively, I can't party chat with my friends, I can't join a online game they are playing directly or invite them to one, the lag in almost all games is terrible. I am paying royalties to Nintendo just to access online features.
And by your logic, I am part of a brigade, a lot and shouldn't comment on a Nintendo forum about Nintendo games or services? Please.
I will try to make my view on the Switch Online clear.
It is cheap, but that doesn't mean it has value, when you are paying for thin air.
The service has a different value for someone who likes the NES games, as opposed to someone who doesn't.
SNES games are not the priority here, but compared to the current situation, they are much preferable.
There may be workarounds to the service's shortcomings, but if I am going to get into any kind of trouble, what am I paying for anyway?
People don't complain for the sake of it, but they feel being treated unfairly.
We are all Nintendo fans here, but that doesn't mean we have to like everything they do.
I would much rather pay this amount of money for no free games at all, if the service was solid. I would pay even more, if I could choose from a plethora of games, or the games on offer would be closer to my liking.
@PBandSmelly The way I see it is that this comment section is filled with people who feel it's ok to call others snobs or entitled or whatever, if their opinion happens to be different than theirs. And these games are not free, they are part of a subscription that offers absolutely nothing but a pay wall for bare bones online gaming that used to be free. It would give people less reasons to complain if the competition were pretty much doing the same, but guess what - they offer a lot more!
Weird thing is that in my country, Nintendo didn't have the same grip as Sega did. Just like Sony later with the PlayStation, instead of MS or Nintendo. In fact, home computers like the ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, Amiga and Atari ST were all the rage, while consoles not so much. I bought a Game Gear over a Gameboy, as a tech lover it seemed so much cooler then! It had a good library, but we know how it turned out against its rival.
What's next for Image and Form? They like switching genres and keep their main theme, kind of like Mario games! Personally, I would love a 3rd person shooter or action adventure game, using their established universe and esthetics!
Usually, me as well. But this is a tech showcase of what the Switch can do in the audio/visual department and I feel the need to reward them for the stellar job they have done!
From various hands on reports, the game looks and plays great. I will have to decide between this, Steamworld Quest and Hellblade for this month, whichever reviews best.
We keep talking about F-Zero, when the platform is lacking any arcade racers, or racers of any type. And the weird thing is that it is an awesome platform for this genre!
I'll pass on this, like I passed on Kirby, despite how wonderful they looked. On the gameplay side, they felt flat and unchallenging. April will be expensive anyway.
If I was be able to go back in time, I would go to 1995 to give Nintendo a today's cartridge. They would be able to offer vastly larger storage capacity, leading them to total domination in the gaming industry!
I would do other stuff too, but that's for another forum!
I've caught a strategy fever with the Switch. Played Mario and Rabbits, Into the Breach, Civ 6, Valkyria Chronicles, Wargroove. I wish Xcom would come to the system!
The game is excellent, but there should be a demo sooner and a bit lower price. I don't regret at all buying it, but it's price may be intimidating for a lot of people.
@Beermonkey
I also find very appealing to be able to play some games I really like on this particular platform, on the go especially. Also, there are some games that I just can't force myself to dedicate the time and effort to play on my PC desk. I much prefer the convenience of the Switch.
That being said, some times even this convenience can't justify the cost. I loved every minute of Tropical Freeze, but I just couldn't buy NSMBU for the second time, full price.
How much I love Wind Waker. Have it on Gamecube, bought the HD on the WiiU and I kind of hope not to be released on Switch, cause I might get it there too! This looks nice though.
Their games are some of the best, in terms of lore, esthetics and gameplay. Unless they drop the ball with this one, I am very much looking forward to play it!

Reading about NES game offerings, feels like Nintendo is making fun of us.

Re: Review: Katana ZERO - A Razor-Sharp Action Platformer That Everyone Should Play
There are a lot of great games on the eshop, but this is an excellent game. I can't say no to an excellent game!
Re: Nintendo Download: 18th April (Europe)
Bought Katana Zero and Cuphead, will have to decide between Steamworld, Hellblade and Mortal Kombat next week. This month is expensive!
Re: Review: Cuphead - The Xbox Masterpiece Becomes An Essential Purchase On Switch
Never got it on PC, I somehow knew it would release on Switch someday! I mean, it had to, right?
Re: Katana Zero Is Devolver Digital's Most Pre-Ordered Switch Game So Far
Pretty sure it will be great, but I'll wait for the reviews. Pre-ordered Cuphead though!
Re: Review: Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice - A Dazzling Port That Sacrifices Very Little

Everyone interested should support Hellblade! The port is beyond amazing, the game is great and the price is really good!

None. They are missing a dpad.
Re: Feature: The Best Racing Games On Nintendo Switch
Maybe some devs should stop the Metroidvanias and the roguelikes and fill in the gap for a popular, well fitting to the platform genre.
Also, what happened to 90s Arcade Racer? I know Nicalis stepped in, in some way and the game changed its name, but since then, nothing.

Re: Try Before You Buy When A Demo For Monster Boy And The Cursed Kingdom Arrives Later This Month

Re: Award-Winning Indie Title To The Moon Lands On Switch eShop This Summer
Another game that I own on Steam but didn't play much. Will buy it on Switch, it's a great game on a more convenient platform.

Picked up Valkyria Chronicles for only 10€ and having a great time replaying it.
