Re: PSA: Nintendo Reminds Us It's Winding Down Gold Points Next Week

I know it’s a long shot but I hope we get the selects range back once the switch 2 releases. (Quite a number of games I would rebuy digitally for convenience but not at full price).

I wonder how much money places like Cex have lost Nintendo over the switch lifetime.

I prefer Nintendo when they are trying harder. (I never experienced anything as badly done as DKCR/Links Awakening/Echo’s of Wisdom on Wii U - proper Nintendo games anyway).

I played a lot of the Steam version of All Stars Racing Transformed but I couldn’t tolerate the Wii U or 360 versions. I suspect the switch version of this will be similarly disappointing. Might try this on Series X. (I think I played the Steam All Stars Racing Transformed for over 300 hours which is a lot for me I enjoyed it much more than Mario Kart 8 which I played quite a bit on Wii U and then bought but hardly touched on Switch).

@Joeynator3000 The Unity thing seems to explain a bit. But I am fairly sure on the Wii U stuff like Trine / Trine 2 used Unity and were pretty decent. I don’t know if the problem lies with Unity / Nintendo (And a newer version of Unity). The other possibility that the people Nintendo are getting to do this stuff can’t manage to do it properly (But small indie studios in the past could) is totally unacceptable to me.

Re: Best Nintendo Switch 2D Platformers

Kaze and the Wild Masks I think is a mess technically to the point I don’t find it enjoyable. I think Freedom Planet is an unfair comparison because that worked quite well. (I found the levels a bit long but it was definitely fun.)

Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair Is bad as well.

I have not looked to see if they work better on other platforms at all but I was disappointed to find those two not even close to the ones I already knew.

I just want no slowdown / dropped frames. No load times.

It looks to me as if Nintendolife has lowered the bar quite a bit for the more recent releases.
