the 3DS's 3D is BY FAR the feature I miss most in the switch.
btw: pretty much every 3DS game released in recent months has been second party (most of which only had 2D, except metroid). i doubt that nintendo is even developing any 3ds games internally anymore.
@ThomasBW84 it's ridiculous that they didn't integrate all layton dlc into the 3ds version considering it costs more than twice of what the mobile version costs (which is better every way).
@AcridSkull the EU website clarifies that the shop closes in January 2019, but you will still be able to re-download games later than that up to an as of yet undetermined point in 2019.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE can't you think ahead a couple of months? it will come out on all other platforms next month. if it will be released on switch it will be released later and then it will be a port.
@Grogan EA said it themselves. it's a custom-made engine. they built it from the ground up. that's a lot more effort than using their existing frostbite engine.
@BlueOcean that's probably because you looked at the install sizes when you sort by size. for some weird reason it doesn't count the installed add-on content towards that
@flapjack-ashley i think you're overestimating the typical user. the typical user only buys a couple of games for their console in its entire life time. console attach rates show that. of course you won't find these people here on gaming news sites. a friend of mine has had a ps4 for 3 years and only has 4 games.
he's def. right about people only wanting to play on one map and one map only. and salmon run probably isn't available 24/7 because that would make matchmaking a lot slower.

Re: NeuroVoider's Switch eShop Sales Bring Another Success Story
@SLIGEACH_EIRE the reality is that 95 % of all releases on steam are trash and it's hard for smaller, good titles to get found.
Re: Review: Picross S (Switch eShop)
they clearly intentionally left out some of the modes so they have stuff to add for the inevitable 10 sequels on switch. shameful.

Re: Poll: Nintendo's Switch Arcade Archives - Is It the Retro Gaming You Want?

Re: Shinji Mikami Thinks A Switch Version Of The Evil Within 2 Would Be "Interesting"
@SLIGEACH_EIRE can't you think ahead a couple of months? it will come out on all other platforms next month. if it will be released on switch it will be released later and then it will be a port.
Re: Resident Evil Revelations 1 & 2 On Switch Make Use Of The Joy-Con IR Camera And amiibo
@memoryman3 not daisy.
Re: Shinji Mikami Thinks A Switch Version Of The Evil Within 2 Would Be "Interesting"
@SLIGEACH_EIRE how would it be nice? i thought you don't like ports and that would be a port.
Re: Rumour: Netflix App Ready For Switch, All It Needs Is Nintendo's Go-Ahead
@SLIGEACH_EIRE the web browser has been in there since day one. they just need to unlock it for general use.
Re: FIFA 18 Will Cost Less On The Nintendo Switch In Australia
@Grogan i know about the cut modes. that doesn't invalidate anything of what i said.

Re: Here's How Much Data You'll Need To Download For NBA 2K18 On Switch
@JamesR how do you know that the cartridges don't have the full game? we don't know that yet.
Re: Here's How Much Data You'll Need To Download For NBA 2K18 On Switch
@JamesR the only use I can think of is that the game needs some kind of cache/reserved space on the system memory for faster access than from SD.
Re: Here's How Much Data You'll Need To Download For NBA 2K18 On Switch
@BlueOcean that's probably because you looked at the install sizes when you sort by size. for some weird reason it doesn't count the installed add-on content towards that

Re: Here's How Much Data You'll Need To Download For NBA 2K18 On Switch
@BlueOcean the biggest xbox one game i know is actually quantum break when you download all the tv episodes (120 GB)
Re: Here's How Much Data You'll Need To Download For NBA 2K18 On Switch
@LegendOfPokemon 32 GB internal is acceptable. what's not acceptable is a 5 GB save file.
Re: Here's How Much Data You'll Need To Download For NBA 2K18 On Switch
@flapjack-ashley it could mean that, but it doesn't have to. it's only releasing in a month so the patch might already be on there.
Re: FIFA 18 Will Cost Less On The Nintendo Switch In Australia
@SLIGEACH_EIRE you just have zero clue about game development.
Re: FIFA 18 Will Cost Less On The Nintendo Switch In Australia
@SLIGEACH_EIRE lack in effort? they probably put more effort into this version than any other version
Re: Nintendo Download: 14th September (Europe)
@SLIGEACH_EIRE what's even more: this game only has a shelf life of one year until the next version comes out next year

Re: Review: Metroid: Samus Returns (3DS)

Re: Splatoon 2 Designer Explains Why The Maps Rotate And Salmon Run Is Time-Limited
he's def. right about people only wanting to play on one map and one map only.
