@Toastmaster nah it was ignored because from the very first day software was lacking and it never got that much better. When Sony decided no big exclusive vita that was the nail on the coffin. It bombed massively and the software available for it should tell you that if that's all that was on offer of course nobody was gonna be looking for a vita to own.

I am looking forward to the Chinese replica factories producing A grade reps available to buy. Not sure they will bother but hopefully they do as that is the only way I would buy these.

@Wheatly change game speed to fast paced. Go to visual tab and turn off player indicator fade, play styles overhead indicator and player based difficulty.

@5th313ment no way this is using 32GB cart. You will have to download

@Smug43 get your eyes tested quickly. Google fifa on GameCube images then come back and post

@HotGoomba because there is 120 million switch machines sold around the world.

Business wise this makes complete sense. Rockstar will make a killing when this releases.

@Znake wow so you didn't read my post at all. Where did I not say RE4 was not released on GC first? I simply said your reasoning was completely wrong. It has nothing to do with the hardware power and was simply down to money. I purchased a Japanese GC the week it was released so yes I was deep into gaming in that period. Like I said on my post. Capcom had a get out of the deal with Nintendo if sales of software were not achieved and they used it ASAP and cancelled exclusive Nintendo software. Just face the facts and move on with your life. Nintendo are not gonna release hardware on the level of its competitors. It's clear as day and has been this way since the GC flopped. You and scream and moan all you want. It's not happening dude.

@Znake no RE4 launched first on GameCube because Nintendo paid Capcom for the luxury.

After sales were mediocre across multiple games Capcom quickly pulled out of the deal. To suggest RE4 launched on GC first because it was the most powerful hardware is just ludicrous.

Luckily Nintendo are not running a business to please the minority like yourself. Releasing a console £500+ would be financial suicide as it would bomb hard.

How many times does this need to be said. Nintendo will not be releasing a console to match MS and Sony. I seriously fail to understand that people cannot accept this.

The Switch 2 will be the perfect spec for the price range it is sold at. PS4 level totally acceptable for a handheld machine.

Just realized your post maybe you having a joke by the way. I hope it is as it's totally bonkers.

Until Pinball FX is patched not a chance I am buying. The visuals compared to FX3 are so much worse.

Jim Ryan took the ultimate L here.

First deal on table was all Activision Blizzard games on Playstation for 5 years guaranteed.

Through his arrogance and self entitlement he ends up with 10 years guaranteed COD releases only for Playstation.

@libersolis nah Japanese Pro-Wrestling is a sport which has always sat in the same field as other combat sports in Japan. They are all fighting sports with there own rulesets. All fight leagues are down in popularity with New Japan Pro-Wrestling being the leader. Japanese MMA has been on life support for god knows how long. It's on its death bed with no recovery in sight.

@Anti-Matter It's clear why you don't see K-1 video games and that's because just like Japanese MMA and Japanese Pro-Wrestling before that it's popularity has gone completely downhill. Once K-1 lost its network TV deal it was game over as without TV you can't build Japanese stars and the big Japanese sponsors will walk away. K-1 isn't even Japanese owned anymore. Whether it be MMA, Kickboxing or Japanese Pro-Wrestling until there is a bigger shift in its popularity you can pretty much rule out seeing a video game anytime soon.

@StuTwo I wouldn't be confident that Sony could create a real competitor to COD. The Killzone franchise will show you that creating a Sony only FPS that can reach the huge mainstream levels and be system seller is a huge gamble.

@Daniel36 of course there is plenty of switch owners who would buy COD even now as switch is coming to the end of lifespan. COD on switch 2 is the more important news.

@datamonkey 10 years is ages away so who cares. Lol seriously though MS are not gonna leave millions of dollars on the table by taking COD to Xbox only for console gamers.

@Dm9982 I would imagine cost of carts has come down now and is around same as Blu-ray discs. As the switch is coming to end of its lifespan publishers are not gonna bother requesting to use 32GB+.

Problem for switch 2 is that if the costs are still too expensive for publishers to use than Nintendo won't manufacture the very large cartridges as that would be throwing money down the drain. It's all in the publishers hands really. They will dictate what Nintendo does going forward.

@Dm9982 the mistake you made is comparing Nintendo cartridges to SD cards. There is no chance in hell Nintendo would use SD format in the future. They have to produce there own carts. The cost to manufacture Nintendo cartridges is way more than SD cards.

@IceClimbersMain you won't be getting disc format for Nintendo next portable machine. That would be utter madness if they did.

@tobsesta99 which format do you think Nintendo should have used instead for a portable machine.

Cartridges is the only viable option.

@UltimateOtaku91 If the switch was a home console only then sales would be lower yes. If it was handheld only it still would have sold crazy numbers no doubt.

@Would_you_kindly i meant the % of people who are making big noise are a niche hardcore crowd when it comes to Pokémon players. Not anywhere near large enough to cause the Pokémon bubble to burst

@PepperMintRex it seriously wont because the niche hardcore who scream and moan about technical issues and graphics etc etc are a super small % of people who play Pokémon. I am not saying they are wrong to moan by the way but just being realistic. Pokémon bubble isn't nowhere near to bursting. People need to stop looking at the internet and YouTube moaners as a representation of Pokémon players.

@Codeman125 apologise for that. Totally misread your point

@Codeman125 your surprised that sega decided to release sonic frontiers on switch when thats the console it will sell most on by far. Luckily SEGA wants to make money and not make a silly decision to not release on switch like you think they should have.

Graphics are not as bad as the reviewer makes out.

Compare to No more heroes 3 for example. No more heroes 3 looks like a PS2 game visually. Graphics are shockingly bad

@Arkay some people feel any game in development must meet there personal expectations and if not the development team get called lazy. It's disrespectful to the profession full of self entitlement is which is unbelievable.

Thats a "No from me son"

Dude must be tripping!!

@KnightsTemplar the physical release is aimed for collectors. LRG will make a profit no doubt.

@Pigeon are you saying he deserves the personal insults and hate thrown @ him?

All I know is gamers suck and are so self entitled its sickening

@jowe_gw the music industry was dying long before streaming. Streaming was the only option left. Record sales were in the gutter and piracy was never gonna be stopped. Yeah the artists get screwed big time with streaming revenues but they were still getting screwed long before that by record labels when it came to album sales.

@jsty3105 not like artists were getting a good deal before streaming. For example a rapper would generally make 0.66 dollars for every $10 album sold. That's blatant robbery! Artists are robbed by record labels today just as bad as they were in the past.

Reality is that if there was no streaming artists would be worse off though as the public decided long ago that the Ease of getting free albums too good to turn down.

@Yorumi piracy in the music industry did not dissappear once iTunes was released. Where did you get that idea from. If that was a true statement there would have been no need for streaming via Spotify, deezer etc etc.

The music industry had no choice but to pivot to streaming as nobody was buying music anymore and lowering the price of albums wouldn't have changed much as the availability to get it free was so ridiculously easy. Also lowering the price even more does nothing for the artists who were already making pathetic money like for every $10 album sold the aritist makes $1. How low should artists have to accept?

@Nintendosbooger if your not a fan of either of the soap opera American companies than Virtual Pro-Wrestling 2 smokes them both.

How do you come up with an extensive list and fail to include the best Pro-Wrestling game which is virtua Pro-Wrestling II. Also fire pro wrestling (Japanese version) on GBA.

The booker mode was amazing!

I am honestly baffled how that happens.

@zbinks there is no doubt that Virtua Pro-Wrestling II is better than the WWE games on N64

@BAN plus no major price cut. Pretty amazing after 5 years it still shifting big numbers with no permanent price drop

@SpaceboyScreams 360 was also a beast in the UK. Sold very well for sure

See the doom and gloomers are in here!!

@SwitchplayerJohn if you was an EA investor would you be happy to see EA pay FIFA $250m per year?

EA doesn't need FIFA to sell its football game. they will be perfectly fine without the FIFA license

@gergelyv yeah the cost of creating brand new game plus add all the licensing etc etc is insane.

No publisher is gonna take that risk trying to compete with EA.

FIFA will now be mobile games for sure

Anyone who reads the FIFA statement and actually thinks they have bright future with video games is delusional.

Yeah they will work with other developers for sure. It's gonna be mobile games all over the place with FIFA licensed content

@Dimey yeah it's baffling that the developers added support for analogue triggers using GC controller but won't support any other controllers

@Yorumi if there was a suitable demand for high end controllers they would produce them for consoles as no business would leave money on the table. The low demand is simply not worth it

@Dimey analogue triggers are not supported in Grid so it's a software issue which should have received a patch.

8bitdo Pro controller has analogue triggers and I have played Grid with it.

So like the first Wii sports game this has no depth as a single player game. I played Wii sports for about a week and never went back to it as no matter how enjoyable golf was there was nothing substantial for me to play it. I always thought this version would be no different.

@BloodyMurder they redeemed themselves with crash 4 on switch

@Silly_G because its not confirmed to not be on switch. Jesus, why do people find this a problem.

Never understood how people can get upset about an announcement of a game that may or may not be on switch.

@Coalescence how do you know staff never went to HR @ moon studios or Microsoft?

@dew12333 wait so you think it's that simple to just build a football game from scratch, plaster FIFA on the cover and we have a huge seller.

Dunno what planet you are living on but publishers are not hiring developers to create a new football game.

Also have you totally ignored that FIFA want $1b for the license. Which publisher do you see right now who is willing to pay that huge amount?

@dew12333 never said sales maybe lower. I argued they won't lose 1 billion every 4 years.

Also just for the record. FIFA never got close to pro evo GamePlay. Thirdly which football game are these casual players gonna buy instead?

@victordamazio

I guarantee any loss in sales won't hit anywhere near the $1billion FIFA wants every 4 years.

Nobody else is swooping in to get one over EA as it's way overpriced by FIFA.

@dew12333 he has a fair point though in regards to the FIFA brand.

Also you are confused about what the FIFA license brings. It has nothing to do with clubs, national leagues and player likeness. Pro evo could have the FIFA license and it would wouldn't change a thing in regards to club licenses.

Do you not remember when pro evo had the UEFA license and they still didn't even have all the correct clubs which were in the champions League, Europea league.
