@YoungLink64 If Nintendo could turn it into a clamshell design, it would truly be the best of both worlds It is first and foremost a "TV console" as it is the most powerful Nintendo has ever produced, despite it being behind PS and Xbox
I barely ever get ports/remakes (Original had to age badly, new has lots of improvements or tons of additional content or I lost access to original) But I don't blame them for lack of new content I don't believe they take up production budget/time/people, rather they are there to patch out holes while we wait for "new" content
720p is good enough for 7 in screen I am most concerned about getting improved performance on currently struggling games The Switch 2 coming 3 or 4 yrs from now is more than welcome to have "exclusive" games since it will be considered a next-gen console and backward compatibility to current Switch will be cherry on top!
Any extra power should go towards enhancing the performance of games that are struggling to run properly on the current Switch. We can get new ports with a backwards compatible Switch 2.
@Controller-Drift
No problem, I'm biased because I want you to get into the franchise
Disgaea 5 is infamous as the "tutorial" game
In other words, the main story is to get you acclimated with the vast amount of systems the series has amassed throughout its history.
The post game, is the "real" game.
The main story boss is lv 120 ish if I remember correctly and it can be beat at 50 hrs
The most powerful superboss will require you to transmigrate a couple of characters at lv 9999 a few times and over 200 hrs
Disgaea games are always an amazing value when it comes to hours played and price paid
Disgaea 1 has, arguably, the best story, but most archaic system (old school grinding)
If you want something closer to FE, and like Advance Wars, I recommend Wargroove
Triangle Project, currently in development, seems to be like Final Fantasy Tactics
My WishList: Tomodachi Life (or a new entry would be great!) Kirby Planet Robobot Yo-kai Watch 3 Chrono Trigger Final Fantasy 4 and 6 Dragon Quest 4 to 9 Prof. Layton
@Controller-Drift
FE is far more exact (1 of the reasons why I hate the RNG during lv up) with formulas in regard of strength + weapon - defense = damage
Disgaea has no permadeath, gives you the chance to max out units.
They both have weapon mastery, but Disgaea has way deeper systems, such as throwing, environmental rules through the Geo Effects, item leveling, master-pupil relationship, etc... and Disgaea 5 has the most refined GamePlay systems.
The Story for Disgaea 5 is one of the weakest in the entire series (very generic), but it is still funny and silly. Themes involve demons are capable of love vs medieval times of FE.
@BloodNinja Completely agree I much rather the internal specs be buffed than increase screen size and lower ppi However, I don't think they are planning on making console itself larger, they can just reduce bezels
@Giygas_95 Bigger screen = less ppi 300 ppi would be ideal The Switch is currently at 236, if this report is true, it would make it even worse, despite the better screen technology
Meh Hopefully, they have Dungeon Explorers of Sky hiding somewhere Maybe Let's go Johto... I'll take more news on New DP, like do they have Platinum content?
Artstyle is growing on me
I'm more concerned about:
-Rotom forms
-Giratina Origin Form
-Distortion World
-Shaymin Sky Form
-Darkrai Event
-Arceus Event
-Regigigas Event
-Platinum Sinnoh Dex (DP Fire type issue)
-Battle Frontier (Nature & IV items exchanged for BP)
-Looker
-Ball Seals
-Underground
-Multiple use TMs
-Beign able to catch Gen 1-4 w/o Sw/Sh
-GYM leader rematches
-I'm impartial to Mega Evo, Z-Moves, Giga/Dynamax, Primal Forms, Manaphy Event, Contests & Poffins
-Would be nice if Secret Bases were back to Gen 3/6 where you could battle real trainers once a day, get EXP and recruit them to create your own "gym"
Wow, I think I spotted "the underground"
And also the "union room"
Hopefully they included:
Platinum Battle Frontier
Platinum Distortion World
Platinum Pokedex
Sword/Shield Nature and IV items
I love Sinnoh, but if they don't include the above, this is a no for me
The 3D is cool, but the dual screen, stylus, clmashell design and the library are phenomenal. I love this device and the 10,000s of hours of gaming joy it still gives me.
@Shadowthrone Oh I paid no attention to them either, but they are still there And if you have an ad-blocker, you still clicked on article and generated a "view"
@Crono1973 @Shadowthrone Rumors generate $$$ You and I are in this comment section Had to scroll past how many ads? Do you really think NL cares about the "health" of the community?
@Heavyarms55 That about covers it Is only natural for ppl to be talking about Zelda on 35th Anniversary though Maybe not the big one yet (BoW2) but perhaps they will announce some remakes.

It sucks at being a handheld

Its flashy, but the demo was very disappointing
I want to like it, but is very underwhelming in every way

Re: Soapbox: I'm Tired Of Ports And Remakes - Where Are All Nintendo's New Ideas?
Yes, but only give the budget to the indies that are not stuck replicating an old game
Re: Rumour: Nvidia Is Stopping Production Of Switch's Most Important Hardware This Year
Another revision incoming
Guess is not only the "screen" if that is to be believed as well

We can get new ports with a backwards compatible Switch 2.

And it improves performance on past games

Me too
Re: The 3DS Game Miitopia Is Coming To Nintendo Switch This May
@westman98
They are both Mii, but I prefer Tomodachi so hoping that makes it too
Re: The 3DS Game Miitopia Is Coming To Nintendo Switch This May
@Joeynator3000
I think there is hope now that we have this release.
Miitopia sold more than a Mil, but Tomodachi sold more than 6 Mil
Re: The 3DS Game Miitopia Is Coming To Nintendo Switch This May
@Snatcher
They are both great!
I too prefer Tomodachi though
Re: The 3DS Game Miitopia Is Coming To Nintendo Switch This May
