Re: Video: Does The Switch Actually Feel 'Old' Yet?

hadrian

It felt old in 2020, now its kinda decrepit. Say what you want about ANY previous console by Nintendo but their later years still had very impressive looking titles right until they were discontinued, the Switch, not so much at all. If it was only a handheld then its good for its price and when it was released but its also sold as a home console and it performs like one release 17 years ago! Cant wait for their next console that maybe, only maybe will come out in 2024 and will perform like one released 10 years ago...only if its still handheld, is up against SteamDeck and others which are far superior than 10 year old tech.

Re: Unreleased Mario Kart XXL Tech Demo For Game Boy Advance Surfaces Online

@Coffeemonster Rainbow Arts were only the publisher.

The actual people behind the game were Armin Gessert, Manfield Trenz and Chris Huelsbeck.

Gessert went on to found Spellbound Entertainment who put out Desperados 1 & 2 and later on did a very underrated Giana Sisters DS. He died in 2009. Spellbound became Black Forest games and did Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams, one of the best 2D platformers of the last decade. They hadnt done much of note since, een the Giana follow ups were lacking. They erm also bought back Bubsy...but recently bought back Destroy All Humans.

Trenz was responsible for the excellent Turrican series and sone other great games but then had to take contract work to make ends meet. He was also behind Giana DS and then quit the industry sadly.

Hülsbeck is one of the industries greatest game music composer. His work on the Turrican games is outstanding.

So yeah they did more than a actually very good and well made Mario clone.

@KindofaBigDeal
2017 didnt have a pandemic wipe out peoples businesses and so that now they are having to be Just Eat drivers. There was no war going on to increase our essentials living costs.

That and this "new" game just doesnt seem worth buying over other games, I have Splatoon 2, that'll do for me,

THAT TWEET MEANS ALL THAT BUT PROBABLY ANOTHER MARIO PARTY INSTEAD OF ALL THAT.

Re: Video: Here's A Graphics Comparison Of Banjo-Kazooie Running On Switch, Xbox And Nintendo 64

If it's playing a game on Switch or Xbox Series then I am going to play on Xbox Series. Quick Resume is an massive reason alone, controllers last longer (I've replaced TWO joycons in the last year but my Xbox controller still has no issues and I play that the most), I don't get games crashing, games play at a good framerate, Games Pass means I spend less money on games...I love that Nintendo don't follow trends and all that but I would like them to have a compentent online infrustruture, good online service and hardware that isn't *****. Man, Nintendo was the best at hardware.

Re: Back Page: After Spending $70B On Activision Blizzard... What If Microsoft Buys Nintendo Next?

hadrian

I would see it as a good thing, Nintendo are atrocious at making hardware nowadays and their online infrastucture is an absolute joke. We have a big company like Nintendo do the very bare bone when it comes to offering a good subscription service and then Microsoft who just put it all out there! A huge amount of gamesthey put out on Xbox, 360, One and now Series is there to play for just 10 quid a month! Nintendo...throw us a Yoshi puzzle game every couple of months.

Also I genuinely see Phil Spencer...despite the fact that he always looks like he is having a acid flashback...as someone who cares about games. We've not had anyone in a big company show this since that beautiful man, Iwata.
