@victordamazio so you missed the memo then. The success of this KS project isn't gonna see astral chain released on other consoles. lol
Go and read the interview Eurogamer has with platinum. Nintendo gave back the IP for wonderful 101 as Platinum really wanted to try and make the game a success 2nd time around.
@Rodan2000 last time I checked Astral Chain had Nintendo support. Last time I checked Wonderful 101 was a huge failure even with Nintendo support. Just accept the truth, wonderful 101 is very niche and struggled to even hit 250k worldwide. Whoever wants it can support the project!
@Rodan2000 why should they self fund a game which they know full well will bomb hard! The fans who keep screaming for it can prove it by supporting the KS project.
@roboshort Nintendo make millions from wonderful 101?? Nah dude, the game flopped hard on Wii U and would be very niche on switch. Nintendo have no interest in the IP.
@Paraka tencent money is for new games. Platinum know themselves wonderful 101 is not a game that sells well. Using KS to fund any new port makes sense.
Not surprised Nintendo have no interest in funding a switch port. Game sold terribly bad on Wii U. It's extremely niche and Nintendo are not gonna throw money down the drain.
If Platinum bought the IP from Nintendo it must have been cheap.
I actually can see the Kickstarter project failing miserably. Apart from 101 diehards nobody is interested in this game.
@jamesthemagi can't wait to see how quick the animal crossing switch edition sells out to see how you are so way off on this. These skins are not gonna stop double dippers one bit.
@hihelloitsme all what you said is pure speculation with no evidence to back up you're silly scaremongering.
Oh and just to stop these silly rumors about switch version being cancelled.
from today's PR from Bethesda:
Appearing on more than 350 ‘Most Anticipated Games of 2020’ lists and awarded E3 2019’s Best Action Game and Best PC Game, DOOM Eternal, releases March 20, 2020 on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Google Stadia with Nintendo Switch releasing at a later date.
So let's get this straight. NOA acknowledge there is a drift problem and will fix for free but people in here associate no fault with Nintendo hardware and instead blame the consumer.
@Tyranexx Nintendo have nothing to do with third party prices dude. Huge misconception still exists that Nintendo are setting prices for non Nintendo software.
@sixrings easy solution for you. Don't buy Nintendo hardware. Moaning about compromise but still continue to buy hardware just seems silly. You knew exactly what you was getting when you purchased the switch.
@Ralek85 nah streaming on phone doesn't interest me at all. I see it less convenient to be honest plus there is issue of battery life.
Yeah BT controllers are an option for physical controls but that's just not practical when I am standing on a train to work. Hell even sitting down it's a problem as would need something for phone to rest on.
Dedicated handheld hardware always gonna be a better option
@KitsuneNight ah the good old "lazy ports" line and now you even added there isnt enough skilled programmers.
First of all claiming the ports are lazy while having no idea how hard or little these guys worked is ridiculous. You don't know the time frame or budget these guys had to work with. Nice to see you throw programmers under a bus though.
Now onto skilled programmers. Better come up with some hard evidence that they are not skilled.
@KryptoniteKrunch that's the crux of if dude. So many people laughed at the thought of switch being able to run Witcher 3. Now it has been achieved the goal posts keep moving.
@Barbara001 because the switch version will always be the least impressive when it comes to visuals and performance. Why are you taking it so personal. The switch version of games can be the worst but still a good port.
Why do you continue to watch DF when you hate it so much?

Re: Nintendo Raises Annual Switch Sales Forecast After Stronger-Than-Expected Nine Months
@Darkyoshi98 they may well be cry babies. It's still one of the biggest sellers year in year out.
Re: Nintendo Raises Annual Switch Sales Forecast After Stronger-Than-Expected Nine Months
@ozwally it's not like switch gets tons of 3rd party ports at the moment.
The biggest games like GTA V and COD series are not on switch and it hasn't been an issue.
Nothing will change.

Re: Nintendo Wants To Focus On New "Experiences" For Switch, But Is Open To More Remakes

Re: Port Specialist Virtuos Convinced Obsidian To Bring The Outer Worlds To Switch
@Ralek85 nah streaming on phone doesn't interest me at all. I see it less convenient to be honest plus there is issue of battery life.
Yeah BT controllers are an option for physical controls but that's just not practical when I am standing on a train to work. Hell even sitting down it's a problem as would need something for phone to rest on.
Dedicated handheld hardware always gonna be a better option
Re: Port Specialist Virtuos Convinced Obsidian To Bring The Outer Worlds To Switch
@Ralek85 have multiple consoles but I just rather play games on my switch if that option is available.
Personally I feel the ability for me to play games at home or on my travels is a big thing for me.
The Days of being tied to a TV is just not what I am looking for when gaming

Haters are always gonna hate.
Re: Review: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition - An Incredible Action-RPG Stands Strong On Switch
@Mr_Muscle again you are blaming Nintendo for third party decisions. How many times dude, Nintendo do not have any say in third party releases.
Re: Review: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition - An Incredible Action-RPG Stands Strong On Switch
@Rkulaski you can't fail with either game. Choose one, finish it and then buy the other.
Re: Review: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition - An Incredible Action-RPG Stands Strong On Switch
@Mr_Muscle you are reaching!
Just admit that Nintendo have nothing to do with third party release pricing and stop being a hater.
Re: Review: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition - An Incredible Action-RPG Stands Strong On Switch
@Mr_Muscle since when did Nintendo set prices for third party releases?

Re: Iron Galaxy Helped Bring Overwatch To Switch, Nintendo Version Runs At 30fps
@Echang you wouldn't be playing 720p 60fps in portable mode though. People would then moan about the sub HD resolution.
Blizzard have made the choice to prioritise the visuals for overwatch on switch. I can understand that decision.
Re: GRID Autosport Speeds Onto Switch On September 19th
