Music licenses have got to be the most egregious when it comes to copyright rules.

Nintendo is arguably the most out of touch company when it comes to gaming. At least in the big 3. They're still a decade or more when it comes to online features, hardware wise they're still behind (though it's more excusable since the switch is portable), and they've consistently just being the most anti consumer out of the big 3 companies.

The success Nintendo is still getting has to be attributed by the quality of their games and brand loyalty. Nintendo at least knows that.

So many tag fighters coming out.

More prone to drifting and harder to access = more money spent on repairs or just entirely new controllers.

Thanks Nintendo.

With how the Star Fox IP has been treated, it's not surprisingly how he came to feel that way.
It always seemed to have struggled to find it's identify after 64.

@Michael0916 It's okay, when the nostalgia wears off you'll realize how terrible the gamecube controller is.

@N00BiSH Yeah true, guess you can add that to the ever growing list of why it sucks.

This was mentioned in an earlier comment but I genuinely hate how stubby the c stick is, as well as the other stick feeling tiny as well as the d-pad.

And this is coming from someone with small hands.

Probably the most overrated controller in existence.

Lacks buttons, analog triggers, small and is terrible for the hands.

I wouldn't describe something with resolution that garbage as "elegant".

Welp guess we're getting drift with these new joycons too.
Only difference is that they're almost $100.

@Dr_Lugae

It was unplayable, not only did the game rarely reach 30fps it was also riddled with glitches

Your standards are just low along with most pokemon fans and its no wonder the game sold so well

Requiring an entirely new console to make the game playable isn't "fixing" the performance. The original port is still garbage, it's just finally running good on a different platform altogether.
The visuals still look terrible since the game has little to no art direction was obviously very rushed.

This isn't "saltiness" it's blunt criticism, something that's rare here. The game released in an unacceptable state and it took this long for it to be playable through legal means.

Oh neat it only 3 years, several dlc, and $450 for a new console for the game to not drop below 20 fps.
It still looks terrible by the way.

Can't wait for the Switch 2 port to be $80

@hunyow81 Yeah but sadly it works and the Switch 2 preorders selling out in an hour also proves that gamers are willing to pay bloated prices, thus enabling this behavior.

This also gives other companies the green light to follow in their footsteps like Xbox did recently.

@Ulysses Wouldn't be surprised, plenty of Switch ports have been more expensive than the other ports despite running worse as well.

The "Nintendo tax" as people called it.

Yeah all these "next gen" prices are just putting me off from buying said games altogether.
I was going to get a Switch 2 then I saw the game prices and all of the other anti consumer crap Nintendo was putting out along with it and just destroyed my optimism for it.

None of these games that are charging $80 seem worth it, just increasing the price because Nintendo did the same.

I'm playing Expedition 33 and I'm having one of the best gaming experiences I had in years and that game is only $50.

Any amount of money spent on a glorified tech demo isn't worth a single cent.

Nintendo is being really greedy with right with all of these bs prices.

The problem with ARMS is that it was advertised as a competitive fighting game when it had little to no depth. It was never going to take off as an esport because of it, not to mention it's very boring as a spectator game.
As well as preparing consoles and copies for competitive play is a pain since you have to unlock every single ARM gear.

I can see this game lasting longer than ARMS since it just seems to be a casual basketball game, nothing more nothing less.
Though if the double joycon controls are forced I can see it being a deal breaker for some people.

Every pokemon games desperately needs one lol.

I think it'll sell well regardless, but it obviously won't sell as well as 8 DX. To most people it was a new game so all the ports from the wii U were welcome, not to mention having a mario kart on a portable console was also a huge selling point.

Another thing is that the Switch 1's user base is insanely huge, the Switch 2 probably won't live up to it.

Of course Nintendo shadow drops this.
Why am I even surprised.

Gulit tripping has never saved any game.

Was about to type a whole essay criticizing the ranking of the dlc then I realized I confused future redeemed and connected lmao.

...Why so many removed comments?

Forgot this app existed honestly, it's drip feeding hasn't been doign it any favors.

I have friends who play playstation while I'm on PC and they use discord on their console. It makes it convenient for them to be able to VC all on one device instead of having hook up a 3rd party one (another reason why the switch's voice chat is garbage).

While yes this is anecdotal I'm 110% confident a good amount of people use their console VC and prefer over an app like with nintendo, since ya know you're actually provided with basic features like messaging, parties, and native voice chat.
I'm also counting discord on the console because it's part of it and you're still using the console to communicate.

Nintendo needs to take a page off of their book, cause it's really sad how they're still a decade or more behind when it comes to online.

Yeah it's pathetic how the switch after 8 years still has less communication features than last gen systems including that of the Wii U and 3DS.

I don't know what they were thinking when they made the app and unironically expected people to use it. What's even more confusing is that the switch is apparently capable of native voice chat but it has to be enabled by the developers of the game... every time.

I just hope that XC3 has a consistent art direction.
They nailed it with 3.

From how bad it looked I don't get how people would unironically claim this.

I guess standards for pokemon fans have dropped this low.

I'm genuinely surprised that the comments haven't been disabled yet.

The Switch definitely is another golden age for Nintendo.

But as for the other platforms I'm a bit disappointed by them compared to last generation, maybe it's just me.

It had to step down due to allegations against it.

The framerate looked really rough and the battle system seemed really clunky.
This wasn't a flattering 1st look in my opinion.

So from what I saw from the trailer (and the deleted comments), the game is still going to be censored, which is unfortunate but not a deal breaker for me since from my knowledge it's just for costumes.

I just hope it runs well on the switch.

Watch out, Palworld

Nice bootlicking lmao.

Welp guess I have to wait a couple more months for a direct I actually care about.

Well this sucks.

Isn't it a couple decades too late for this conversation?
I'm sure if the series kept going it could've been a contender but now of all times to bring up years after it's dead?

He already addressed that in the other part of his statement so his point still stands.
And if I'm being honest, I agree, what's really going to dictate the momentum of the launch sales are going to be the presence of heavy hitters in terms of launch games. $100 or even $150 won't mean that much to dedicated fans if there are games to be had.

The original switch was very reasonable priced for a new console and Botw alone carried the first half of it's sales.
And if speculation is correct about Mario Kart 9 launching with the Switch 2, then it should be a pretty solid launch, probably not as strong as base Switch but better than most consoles.

Pretty nothing statement that didn't directly address anything.

I don't plan to buy a Switch 2 anytime soon unless it has a game I really want to play.

I also agree with the comments above, scalpers are going to be the main issue when it comes to getting a hold of the console in the first place.

What a manchild lol.

Yeah this is going to be a long 3 months...

Worst kept secret in gaming.

I would've been surprised if the system wasn't backwards compatible to be honest, but I'm glad nonetheless.

Best thing about the direct is that the Switch 2 speculation and rumour discussions are finally over.

Can't wait for it to start drifting after a few months

Doesn't look that much different from Mario Kart 8DX if I'm being honest.
Then again there will probably be more technically impressive looking reveals in the Switch 2 direct so it's not that big of a deal.
