@Dilated gotcha. Your experience with Ohio internet is what I feel the main issue will be for a long time. A large portion of continental US doesnât even have broadband, nevermind a stable connection at a high speed without a data cap. Streaming is the future for sure, but I believe itâs going to be mostly niche for a while which is why it benefits Sony Microsoft and Nintendo. They are putting consoles in hand, and also offering streaming. Easing us into the future rather than rushing in
@Dilated why would you need to leave gaming behind just because it requires a connection? The world is going to be more and more connected. When it because streaming only, it will still be fine. I have good internet so Iâm not worried. Iâm 31 myself, but in all seriousness in my adult life I canât really even think of a time I didnât have internet access but my power was working. My connection has always been stable enough where it only goes out if I lose power to my house. Obviously everyoneâs situation is different, but I donât see how down the like streaming only is an issue. Unless your issue is that you need to have a disc in your hand
@USWITCH64 exactly. This is completely Niche. The advantage that Sony Nintendo and Microsoft has is streaming is 100 percent the future, but they already have established eco systems and their console base always them to ease people into this growing future. Stadia will be successful as a pioneer of this, but itâs jumping in the deep end head first into a market that still needs a lot of time.
People have no need to worry. The stadia isnât going to be legit competition for a long time. The average consumer isnât going to be ready for this for at LEAST another 5-10 years, and I think 5 is being generous. I really think stadia is the future but itâs a future people arenât at yet
Cuphead is about the only one Iâd buy. That and necro dancer. If those are the indie games Nintendo wants to showcase I canât imagine what else is on the docket this year
@Meehanuk thatâs not what they said. They said theyâd SEE. I promise you REengine doesnât run on switch right now. If it didnât RE7 Woukdnt be a cloud version
@Dazzle exactly. I donât understand why this community has realized yet they are always going to get the short end of the stick due to the limitations of the console when it comes to ports. As far as new, original switch games are concerned, all I have to say is these companies still remember the Wii selling 100 million but their games barely breaking a million copies sold
@AxeltheBuizel because when the Wii had over 100 million copies people still didnât buy 3rd party hands. Also the switch probably isnât capable of running the engine DMC is on. That would explain why resident evil 7 was cloud only, RE2 isnât coming and DMC isnât
@Tempestryke you seem to forget that making games is a risk. Why is Nintendo going to make 2d Metroid if nobody buys it. Why is Suda going to make NMH3 when nobody bought the first two, despite claiming how great they are. If Nintendo wasnât funding Bayonetta 3 I guarantee you Kamiya and his team wouldnât be making it right now. Be glad Nintendo is funding it because after they funded the 2nd one and nobody bought it they would have been right to not bother with the 3rd
People need to get over it. The switch canât run the game or theyâd put it on switch. Iâm not complaining for the same reason I donât complain about 4K and 60fps on my PS4. If I wanted that Iâd play on a PC. If I wanted to play high end games coming out at the tail end of the current generation, I wouldnât have bought a switch. Think about what youâre playing on before you complain about stuff
@AlternateButtons he says might port it because they have to look into it. Unfortunately, our console is not capable of running things as intended due to the limitations of the hardware. NOTHING that uses REngine has come to switch except for a cloud based version of RE7. He says MIGHT because if if they WANT to, thereâs a chance itâs not even possible
@AlphaElite the reason Nintendo gets treated this way, isnât because of the fans. You say they donât treat Xbox and PlayStation fans that way. Itâs because their games can run on the hardware. Switch isnât getting hames and Itâs because the console is not capable of properly running the games. Why do you think Mega Man 11 is day one, but other capcom titles arenât. Itâs 100 percent due to the limitations of the system and the extensive work it would require to probably get even a VERY bad version of the game running. Iâd rather have them NOT release it, than try to get out a version of the game that just doesnât work right. If itâs that upsetting to you that 3rd party publishers treat Nintendo consoles the way they do, you should play on a console or a PC where what you get isnât limited by the lack of power
If anyone bought DMC5 Iâm switch they deserve everything that will be wrong with it. Iâm almost 100 percent positive it wouldnât be able to happen without a cloud based version like RE7
@MaSSiVeRiCaN switch isnât capable of handling the REngine well, which is what DMC 5 runs on. Thatâs why they had to do a cloud version of RE7 and itâs why we wonât see RE2
That seems pretty predatory. Capcom already knows their games will sell on switch. DMC has a much larger following than Dragons Dogma. Seems like a way to get a game to sell they arenât very confident in
@Euler the pro controller is the best controller for smash. Sorry but the GC controller isnât. Itâs sold off of nostalgia. The same reason why people buy all the virtual console stuff on other Nintendo systems. Itâs not better. The sticks are bad, the butting shape and layout are awkward
@Dpullam I played extensively, loved the game but itâs essentially dead now. They wonât add anything new to the game. Unless they are putting in crossplay between all consoles and PC the community is going to be too small to play
@MoonKnight7 I had a lot of fun playing the game with counselors and Jason. Problem is support for the game is over. The community surrounding it is largely dead. Itâs an attempt by the publisher to get more money. Iâd stay away from this one
@Spudtendo if you think Botw does open world better than even half of the games on the market you have a very sad idea of an open world game. BOTW isnât even the best Zelda. Never mind one of the best open world games. Quite a few open world games better than BOTW have come out this generation alone. Never mind if we go all the way back to the inception of the genre. I didnât mention pc gaming because we arenât talking about pc gaming. Weâre talking about console gaming. Again which I own all three consoles. Iâm currently playing smash and final fantasy 9 on my switch. I love my switch. I simply said that people are acting as if outselling PS4 in Japan is way more impressive than it really is, and that the switch is going to be hamstrung by its technical limitations very soon. Once the novelty of playing inferior ports on the go wears off, itâs going to be on 1st party Nintendo titles and quality indies to keep the momentum. Can they do it? I donât know. I hope so because I donât want
My switch to become a paperweight like my Wii U became a doorstop. You can call me a Sony diehard all you want. Iâve owned evrery home console from Nintendo, Sega, Sony and Microsoft EXCEPT for the PS3. The GameCube is one of my favorite consoles of all time. Iâve got more playtime on a switch exclusive (octopath) than I do on any other game this generation. Iâm by no means a Sony diehard, I just donât give Nintendo a free pass on everything like everyone else seems to
@westman98 I will be shocked if the switch is outselling ps5 between years 2 and 3 of the ps5 lifecycle. That would actually be a huge achievement. Itâs not likely. People can same Iâm looking at it from my own opinions. No Iâm looking at it from the switch is not dominating PS4 in western territories when the console is around 100 million units sold and seemingly at the end of its lifecycle. The Japanese public are into mobile and handheld gaming. If the switch ISNT outselling the PS4 there itâs a huge problem. Itâs ok to say hey Nintendo, good job while also realizing that the stat weâre talking about is overly optimistic
@ncb1397 if people cared about raw numbers outside of PC gamers nobody would be buying a switch right now. People use the numbers to argue one ign comments. All I said was that the switch outselling PS4 in Japan isnât the impressive stat people make it out to be. Do that in the West for 12 months straight and letâs talk.
@electrolite77 if it was outside of Japan Iâd be impressed. Japan has largely switched over to mobile and handheld gaming from console gaming. The switch is selling great, I agree but itâs not nearly as impressive as the headlines make it sound. It should be outselling itâs competitors right now. It SHOULD be outselling PS4 in Japan.

Be glad Nintendo is funding it because after they funded the 2nd one and nobody bought it they would have been right to not bother with the 3rd
Re: Devil May Cry 5 Will Be Considered For Switch If Dragon's Dogma Sells Enough
@Tempestryke Nintendo fans wouldnât have to deal with it if they bought more than Mario, PokĂ©mon and spinoffs. Indie games being the exception seeing a tiny team makes them for next to nothing. This is the reason why the consoles lack 3rd party support besides the porting issues. Everyone talks about how much they loved Bayonetta 2. Nobody bought it. They loved wonderful 101. Nobody bought it. Sega made mad world, nobody bought it. Okami undersold. Red steel 2. I can go on and on. The Wii has over 100 million units sold and tons of great games were struggling to break a couple million. These consoles historically have proven one thing, unless you belong to a certain franchise your game could be perfect and everyone loves it, yet some how it doesnât sell. Would I love more support? Absolutely. However, I donât expect it at all because time and time again the gamers on Nintendo consoles have proven that no matter how much they say they love or want something, theyâve proven otherwise with their wallets
