@Razer you have a very strange perception of this Nintendo & Microsoft relationship. Microsoft is a publisher who likes to make money. They see the switch as a platform that they can sell selective software. That's the relationship plain and simple. Both parties didn't sit at secret meetings arguing witch software can and cannot be released on each others systems. The idea that MS release software in switch so now Nintendo should release software on Xbox is laughable. Going by you're own argument Sony now have to release a game on Xbox as MS are kind enough to release Minecraft on PS4.
Do Apple and Google now owe Nintendo something as Nintendo give both platforms Nintendo software?
The gaming world doesn't work like this. Publishers want to make money plain and simple. MS will be more than happy with the cash they are making.
People are gonna be really disappointed with this game when it finally drops. Read below
I played this on the show floor at Anime Expo this year.
Absolute garbage. It’s not even a racing game anymore. Your final position is determined by points you get for drifting.
The AI is laughable. They drive seemingly random racing lines all over the track with no real direction.
The person demoing it on the show floor didn’t seem very proud and was actively avoiding answering questions
@Bunkerneath it really wouldn't. Sales would hit Xbox one levels of PES. The says of PES being a huge hit are long gone and yes that also includes Japan.
@Rayquaza2510 er the vita version was not the full fat PC version. It was the equivalent of the switch and tablet version.
@VoodooTrumpet well considering the smartphone is the mobile edition I expect it to be cheaper. The smartphone game is not the same as the switch and tablet edition.
Every year we always get people claiming the switch version is the mobile game but more expensive and every year you get proven wrong.
@Agramonte would be pretty interesting to actually see how many switch owners of diablo III for example are new players. Guessing blizzard have some kind of idea.
@Agramonte some valid points but sorry the main reason it is being ported is because blizzard see a whole new market that is untouched.
What's next, CD project are porting Witcher 3 as they want Witcher 3 players to cross over. That sounds ridiculous. You and I both know Witcher 3 was ported because that huge switch player base = money to made just like blizzard see with overwatch.
@Agramonte why would they need existing overwatch gamers to jump. The whole point of a switch release would be to attract that huge switch userbase to play overwatch.
@Mycroft depends where in Australia. Go to Queensland or New South Wales and if you say football people will take that as rugby league. Can't stand people in the UK who get all upset when they hear someone call another sport which isn't 'soccer' football.
I am in the UK and if I am talking to friends about rugby league I will sometimes call it footy or football. People need to get a grip!
Why do people make such an effort to convince people that playing video games on the go isn't worth the hassle. Over 2 years after switch release people are still disappointed people choose to play games on a handheld over a more powerful machine.
Mmm I think DQ builders II is better choice for me. That frame rate for marvel alliance is not good. Lots of drops! Will wait for patches or when it is on sale.
@MoonKnight7 worrying think is below 25 in handheld mode. Drops to early 20s
@invictus4000 I suggest you try and play Street fighter collection with the joycons and let me know how you get on when trying to pull of fire balls and dragon punches.
There is just no way the developers could get this running @60fps on switch. Don't think people realise the difficulty you have with UE4 on consoles. The PS4 and Xbox can't hold a stable 60fps but people expect a much weaker system to be able to hit that. UE4 is power hungry which is always gonna be problematic for switch.
Also please remember that the switch version was not announced till two years after development started. The studio doesn't have the budget and resource of much bigger studios. Yes there are problems with switch version that can't be denied but try and be objective.
@JayJ dude i am not trying to convince people to get into bullet hell games. I am not a big fan myself. Just putting across that this game is nowhere near the level of other bullet hell games. It's totally accessible for people who like shoot-em-ups.

Re: Iron Galaxy Helped Bring Overwatch To Switch, Nintendo Version Runs At 30fps
@Judgedean visually paladin is not as nice. If paladin developers wanted stable 720p and 900p it would have been 30ps

Re: '90s Super GP Is Still Alive, And Will Now Include Online Play
@Jayofmaya there was racing when originally announced. Sounds terrible for what it is now. Final position is decided on drifting points.

@smithpa01 it sounds terrible. It's not even a racing game anymore

Re: Deals: Pick Up SUPERBEAT: XONiC For Just $0.89 On The US Switch eShop
@Mycroft it's definitely not nice to play with the joycons. The touchscreen controls are best way to play but they are broken also.
Re: Deals: Pick Up SUPERBEAT: XONiC For Just $0.89 On The US Switch eShop
@Murbs ha I also had 100 gold points sitting in bank. Didn't need to top up.
Re: Deals: Pick Up SUPERBEAT: XONiC For Just $0.89 On The US Switch eShop
Bargain! Double dipped as already have it on vita.
@Yosher whole point of having different money banks is to take advantage of situations like this.

Re: NBA 2K20 Developer Is Dedicated To A Quality Switch Version
Remember when the trolls said it would flop on switch after the first game and we wouldn't see any new versions.
I bought NBA 2K18 and it was fantastic having it fully playable on a handheld machine.
Shame I just not massively into basketball. Hard to get heavily attached to the game when having no idea who the players are.

Re: Review: Superhot - Super Fun, Sort Of Brief

Get it from Russian eshop. £5.50. bargain!!
Re: Overpass Gameplay Trailer Kicks Up Dust As The Game Slides Into 2020

Re: New Switch Models To Reportedly Benefit From Sharp's Energy Efficient IGZO Displays
@Rubbercookie never said the colours don't pop. I have an original vita. OLED has a burn in problem which cannot be denied.
Re: New Switch Models To Reportedly Benefit From Sharp's Energy Efficient IGZO Displays
@StevenG I can see why Nintendo don't go with glass screens. Kids drop things and glass crack easily. Can see them definitely sticking with plastic.
@60frames-please hell no! OLED has burn in plus would mean lower battery life.
OLED is overrated and not great for gaming.
Re: This New Device Lets You Use Airpods And Other Bluetooth Headphones With Your Switch
@nintendolie and that's a good thing. Refuse to buy any phone that has ditched the 3.5mm Jack.
Luckily Samsung are still supporting people who prefer to use wired headphones.
Yes Nintendo should have included BT support but never ditch the 3.5mm jack.
Re: UK Charts: Fire Emblem: Three Houses Fends Off FIFA Threat For Second Week At Number One

Just stay with portable hardware Nintendo
Re: More Evidence Of Rumoured Switch Mini Surfaces Via Accessory Maker Bigben
No detachable joycons but still no traditional D-Pad would be one of the silliest things Nintendo has done.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry Explores Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night's Disappointing Switch Version
Why do some people still have this illusion that the switch is near a base Xbox one??
Re: Review: Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night - A Fine Castlevania Tribute That's A Technical Trainwreck On Switch
@Tantani where do you get this idea that it should run perfectly on switch when it doesn't on machines that are far more powerful.
Yes the port should be better but running perfectly is just plain silly
Re: Hatsune Miku: Project Diva Mega39’s Announced For Switch In Japan

Re: Spyro Reignited Trilogy To Require Additional Download In North America, But Not Europe?
@Aurumonado NBA 2K18 and 19 both require download when buying Japanese/Asian version.
Which western published games in the region have had whole game on cart while EU/US copy needs a download?
Very much doubt spyro would be any different.
