@TheNewButler Breath of the Wild's art style was designed to look exactly the way it does and that is one of the reasons why it looks so good. Higher resolution would make it nicer but adding ray tracing would diminish the art of the game. THat's just one artist's opinion.
Having timed exclusives is a waste of Nintendo's effort and money. All of the timed exclusives in this collection would likely sell betting on Switch anyway. Take that money and invest it in 2nd party exclusives. Anyhoo, good stuff in here. I will be getting 5 or 6 of these.
It’s the cheapest online service. I very rarely download free games from PS+ or XBox Live because I buy the games that I want to play. I have hardly touched the NES and SNES games probably because I could and have already played them on several other platforms. Maybe if the Nintendo Online included an exclusive experience similar to Rusty’s Real Deal Baseball or something like that I would find value in that.
@TDRsuperstar2 I bought digital for New Leaf and plan on doing the same for New Horizons for that exact reason. The game is best playing a little each day and I don’t want to keep taking the cartridge in and out.
Since all the Animal Crossing games are the Basically same I’ll always contend that your first game is likely your favorite. For me, the one on GameCube is my favorite. Probably always will be.
Glad they are all good. Also glad I can get a cartridge. I’m glad I didn’t buy the Xbox One version after the news there wouldn’t be a cartridge version for Switch.
Is it too much to ask for 4K, better processing, faster loading times, longer battery life, less system heat, louder speakers, brighter screens, bluetooth, better build quality, and a cheaper price?
@RareFan It is my opinion that other than the first season of the anime and the first generation of games Pokemon has been pretty meh, including the Detective Pikachu Movie. I have had moments of hype but nothing drew me in like the beginning did. Pokemon is different from Sonic in that it is still a very successful brand despite both franchises having annoyingly rabid fan bases.
Save states are great for practicing parts of game. I don’t use them except to save a game with no save feature. Otherwise what’s the point. You cheated not only the game. If I want to experience a game I don’t want to or can’t invest the time in learning I will watch someone else play though it.

Xbox's approach has been fine so far.

Re: Random: Brie Larson Seems As Excited For Animal Crossing: New Horizons As We Are
I knew why there would be so many comments on this post. But I was surprised at the “get over it, it’s current year” comments.

What an unfortunate name in the Australian market.
Re: GDC 2020 Postponed Due To The Coronavirus Outbreak
They should delay it until June 9th.
Re: Yacht Club Games Is "Absolutely" Considering A Shovel Knight Sequel
They should make some other games first. Even their spin offs probably shouldn’t be Shovel Knight themed.

Re: It's Been 162 Days Since The Last Full Nintendo Direct, The Longest Wait Since 2016
There have been 3 Directs since the last Direct is an odd statement.

Re: The Outer Worlds Switch Release Gets Delayed Due To The Coronavirus Outbreak

@KBuckley27 how about that $500,000 goal now?
Re: Wonderful 101 Confirmed For Switch, But There's A Catch
I have been over Kickstarter projects for a while now but it's an easy project to back when the game is already made.
Re: Feature: Media Molecule Veterans On Bringing Co-Op Coming-Of-Age Adventure Knights & Bikes To Switch
Don’t you have to switch to switch cancel and confirm on PlayStation from US to Japan?
Re: Rumour: The Major Switch Title This Holiday Season Could Have "Tires" In It
People claiming Excite Truck when Excite Bots exists. It’s clearly a Donkey Kong Country game tho.
Re: Schedule A Trip To The Outer Worlds On Switch This March
What the heck Microsoft?! If I’m just going to download it I’ll get it on xbox.
Re: Random: This Mod Turns The Virtual Boy Into A Proper Console You Can Play On Your Television
Still annoyed Nintendo didn't release their Virtual Boy games on the 3DS.
Re: Reggie Encouraged Nintendo To Embrace "What The Brand Stood For" By Sticking With Its Iconic Logo
Funny to think that they wanted to “age up” the logo by making it more cartoony.
Re: Talking Point: Would You Like Miiverse To Return On Switch?
Please add it so I can have the fast and snappy OS of the Switch slow down for Nintendo Twitter.
Re: Pokémon Clone Temtem Is So Successful Its Servers Are Crumbling Under Demand
I watch a bit of a stream of it last night. It looked uninspired and poorly constructed.
Re: Talking Point: How Often Do You Make The 'Switch Sacrifice'?
I own Doom, L.A. Noire, and Dark Souls. I plan on getting The Witcher 3, Dragon Quest XI, and The Outer Worlds.
Re: Pokémon Sword And Shield Dethrones Diamond & Pearl In New Famitsu Sales Chart Record
@Aurumonado I wonder if there will be a version of the game with the DLC included. Hardened Sword and Hardened Shield.
Re: Poll: What Features Would You Want In A Switch 'Pro'?
Is it too much to ask for 4K, better processing, faster loading times, longer battery life, less system heat, louder speakers, brighter screens, bluetooth, better build quality, and a cheaper price?
Re: Poll: Are You Happy With Smash Bros. Ultimate Challenger 5?
I am happy with this character from a game I have never played.

Re: Japanese Charts: Nintendo Switch Grabs All Top Ten Positions Over Christmas
Wow. Sword and Shield are such a failure. Gamefreak definitely learned their lesson.

Everyone dislikes Pokemon now, I guess.
Re: Hideki Kamiya Thinks The Switch Home Menu Is A "Piece Of Crap"
@PALversusNTSC I thought it was better at launch than it is now but hopefully I like the new dashboard coming soon.
Re: Hideki Kamiya Thinks The Switch Home Menu Is A "Piece Of Crap"
It could be better but it is already better than the xbox one or ps4.
Re: Best Of 2019: In Praise Of Save States, Rewinds And Walkthroughs
Save states are great for practicing parts of game. I don’t use them except to save a game with no save feature. Otherwise what’s the point. You cheated not only the game.
