@Truegamer79 Back in the NES days almost any game was 60 fps. The slowing of the frames started in the 3D era (N64 and PS1). I rather have a graphically unimpressive, but fluid game, than the other way around.
@Thomystic We can dream. But I think there will be no more big direct for the Switch. Switch 2 will probably be announced in fall 2024 and released in spring 2025.
I think Rhythm Heaven is as dead as Star Fox, F-Zero (which at least got F-Zero 99) or Wario Land.
Let's hope they at least are releasing another Rhythm Heaven game in the coming year to justify this odd behavior. Right now you can't even buy a new copy digitally of this game series. It would be very strange to protect a dead franchise this hard.
@Truegamer79 If the game is released in such a broken state, why shouldn't it be evaluated as such? Why not wait and release a playable game? Who knows if it will be fixed. Until then it should be avoided.
Bought it day one and I am disappointed by the bugs, but still having fun with it.
I don't understand how it can be so buggy when it was already delayed by two years. It was only released on one platform, so if there was any playtesting the bugs would've been obvious. Another delay wouldn't have hurt.
@Anachronism the last game on 3DS had a music player where you could listen to all the songs. So it will probably have this option on the new game as well.
Steam Deck is way more comfortable to use because of the grips. I can only use the Switch with the Split Pad Pro, otherwise my hands hurt after a few minutes.

Re: Dynasty Warriors: Origins Will Run At A "Fixed" 30fps On Switch 2
@kal_el_07241 The Steam Deck is 3.5 years old. That's a long time for handheld tech...

They could've easily made this playable. Missed opportunity.
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Director Acknowledges Performance Drops: "We Prioritized Fun And Playability"
Well at least they can sell an upgrade pack on Switch 3 for $20 that runs at 60 fps.
Re: Analyst Expects Switch 2 To Sell Like Hot Cakes In Its First Quarter
Don't give a damn about analysts. They say anything and hope something will come true.

Re: Rumour: Diablo 4 Is Claimed To Be In Development For Switch 2
Let's hope they get rid of the always online. Would not be really playable on a portable console.

Re: Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition Receives A Launch Update
This game needs an update to change the button layout.
Re: Review: Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition (Switch) - Speed-Focused And Slight, But Addictive
Is there a way to change the controls? I hate running with B and jumping with A on a four button controller. Couldn't find an option.
Re: Nintendo Files DMCA Against Fan-Made 'Rhythm Heaven' Remix Software
@Yalloo This doesn't work in this day and age. It's like making a Mario Maker without enabling online map sharing.

Re: Soapbox: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Won't Be The Franchise's 'BOTW Moment', And That's Okay
Open world is overrated. Most of the time it's just padding. I prefer a condensed world with a lot to see.

Re: Poll: How Would You Rate The Summer Game Fest 2024 Opening Showcase?
@TAndvig Weren't most of the announcements from AAA developers? No wonder indie is taking over, AAA is just rehashing the same ***** over and over.

North Korea? I hate it when it just says "Korea" when there are two.
Re: Metroid Prime Remastered Confirmed For Switch, Launching Digitally Today
40 € for a remaster of a 20 year old game? For the whole trilogy yes, for just the first game nope...

Re: Review: FIFA 23 - The Final Whistle Blows On A Legacy Of Disappointment
@calbeau You can get Fifa 19 or 20 for under $10 on ebay. Just get one of those if you really want to play a Fifa game on the Switch.
Re: A New Theatrythm Final Fantasy Makes A Symphony On Switch Next February
@Anonymiles Funny. I prefer the button mode. But I'm not big into touch screen gaming.
Re: A New Theatrythm Final Fantasy Makes A Symphony On Switch Next February
@Anachronism the last game on 3DS had a music player where you could listen to all the songs. So it will probably have this option on the new game as well.
Re: A New Theatrythm Final Fantasy Makes A Symphony On Switch Next February
No physical version?
Re: Nintendo President Says Switch Production Is "Uncertain" Next Year
@Ryu_Niiyama rising costs on a 5 year old console? This is their cash cow. No way are they not making a profit on a 5 year old hardware.

Far from a one hit wonder.
