this is nintendo fault these key cards for only offering 2 file sized for carts 1 gig and 64 gigs and 64 gigs carts are expensive no wonder third party companies are going key card route..
t’s worth considering the performance on the original Switch hardware, which is what this review is based on. Because the game itself is quite snappy, with multiple loading screens, there were many opportunities to become frustrated with the amount of time I was staring at a black screen, but fortunately the loading is quite minimal. Action sequences against singular bosses or smaller groups of enemies yielded a fairly consistent frame rate, but larger groups and busier animation sequences did lead to noticeable slowdown and stuttering–noticeable but not a major detraction from my enjoyment. Object pop-in is a frequent occurrence, but worse than this would be the appearance of distant villagers and even enemies, whose pace would slow to a pixelated crawl until you walked closer to them. Fortunately, there were no crashes or bugs that I encountered in my 25-plus hours. All in all, I found the experience tolerable, but it did serve as another reminder of how sorely needed the Switch 2 is at this point in time. We’ll have Switch 2 focused performance impressions closer to the console launch.
maybe xbox knows something us fans do not i mean xbox is porting games to the witch maybe this is nintendo way of returning the favor...i find it hard to imagine that all of a sudden xenoblades appears on a xbox listing... because it is a error..
@TruestoryYep Ghost of Yōtei is inspired by Sucker Punch Productions' visits to northern Japan, particularly the beauty of Mount Yōtei and the nature sounds of Shiretoko National Park. The game is set in 1603 in Ezo (modern-day Hokkaido), at the end of the Sengoku period and the beginning of the Edo period, outside of Japan's direct rule. This location, inspired by Hokkaido's less populated history, offers a different perspective on Japanese culture than games typically explore
i intend to keep my switch1console around until it stops working maybe 20 to 30 years from now i still have a old original ps2 i still play games on..and it works fine...
@Lizuka there are a lot more third party games then first party 99% of my collection are third party games they had plenty of time to fix these issues...
someone who played this game early hinted that the zenithia trilogy was mentioned in the game dragon quest 4-6.. could be the next series to be hd-2d remade..
i dunno that is quite expensive for paid dlc for this game with 2:59 you can buy yourself let me see maybe it is not to expensive afterall even a half gallon of milk cost 3:00 bucks lol..
super robot wars should not be on any top 30 list even in japan..no ghost of yotei really i guess having a woman as lead character is not welcomed in japan..
in 5 years ps6 will be a few years into it's existence and many games on ps6 will be almost impossible ports for switch 2 so we will likely be back where we are in the last years of switch1 life cycle where switch 1 missed out on many third party ports...
@McMongoose well the options for third party companies are 1 gig cards and 64 gig cards which are expensive ..hopefully in the future more size options will be available or cards get cheaper to make.
