@Clyde_Radcliffe Like I mentioned, depends on your target audience. For this part of the movie, I personally think Nintendo life got another clickbait article here. Without this article and the posted twitter comments, I probably would think the joke in the movie is hilarious 😂
@HeyItsFlapjack he said it because of the last sentence, that only you by yourself can decide if you feel offended, no one else can do that for you.
So yeah, ignore him, he is trolling
@Cheez your right action here would be to block him, then the comment disappears. Like with the rhyme, it will disappear in China, but will stay for the rest of the world.
@Clyde_Radcliffe I didn't watch the movie, yet. But are there consequences, short or long term for this "bad guy" or does he get away with it? I agree with you that we don't need only soft washed movies, we need the provocative ones, that slap our faces sometimes. We have enough reality in real life already. On the other hand, creators should consider their target audience, as you will not make clear political statements in a Disney movie, or adding gore scenes to cinderella (yeah, I know Disney movies have some strange messages between the lines, but not obvious ones that kids understand).
@Entrr_username as I don't know this joke, because I'm not from England or USA, would you mind explaining the meaning of this joke? These kind of jokes usually have a racist background. Japanese were not the most popular race in the US after WWII I guess. And putting the Chinese in one line with Japanese doesn't sound non-racust tbh. Also adding the dirty knees line, which could mean what? They are all poor farmers? They do low work on their knees? It would be very kind of you to explain, how this joke can only be bad, but not racist.
On top of that: I think it's not the creators choice to decide, if a joke is racist or not. By any means, it's the person or group which the joke is pointed at to decide how they feel about it. Don't you think?
It's a little sad as I always liked their consoles. Have a famiclone myself which I bought 4 years ago in China. It was a very cheap way to enjoy the old systems again without paying absurd high prices for an original system (which Nintendo will also see no Penny of, because they are used). So yeah, it's the same discussion like emulation. My standpoint is: if the original producer/ company doesn't offer an official way to play the games, it's fine because the original company is not making a single penny with used systems/games and therefore also don't loose a single penny of rip offs are sold. This said, this only goes for systems and games not sold and produced anymore!
This soundtrack is horrible. Beside that it looks like a mix of Zelda (sprites and dungeons), mystic quest (characters) and pokemon (battle). I would prefer an action rpg on gameboy, but to each their own.
Now I´m wondering, why Nintendo didn´t decide to inlcude something like a RC Module that need to be connected to the Switch via USB C with Home Circuit. It would make longer range and better Camera Quality possible. And it would work with both Switch and Switch Lite.
@Deltath Maaaaan, you take this way to serious! I know SV took almost every idea from HM, that was the whole point and the dev does not hide it! If we find every idea SV took from previous games recreated in this Story of Seasons Game, it basically took the same idea from SV, making like a "best of game". So yeah, for me its a 1 to 1 copy
The first one got so much praise and I bought it for Switch because there basically zero alternatives in June 2017. I hated the game and only finished it because I paid for it and had nothing to play.
Now this one has rather poor reviews. Maybe it's twisted logic and I will enjoy this one?!
Yeah, so I never played Harvest Noon or any Story of Seasons game, but this is a one to one 3D copy of stardew valley, right? Probably not as polished as stardew, therefore I will skip it...
@0blivion if it would cost the same like digital or slightly more, I would agree. And if every region got the same content. This way it's just BS in my opinion.
@MS7000 even if it would be US only, thanks to the exchange rate and the possibility to buy us eshop gift cards, changing your region and just make us eshop purchases, you probably would even be cheaper by doing it this way I bet it will be 5,99£ or 5,99€... It's a little work, but sometimes you can save a pretty penny/cent that way!
I got BotW, Snipper clippers and 1-2 Switch at launch. I was hoping for a second Wii Sports with 1-2 Switch and hot highly disappointed. Also Snipper clippers only got 1 hour of our time as my wife didn't like it and it was no fun as a solo game. So I will not vote here.
@nukatha one possibility is the tracks they are using in this video. I assume it's the anki overdrive tracks which are made for slot cars (anki doesn't have "slots", though). The might have a better friction compared to other materials.
This is fake news! A few days ago NL strictly advised people not to use it outdoors, now they promote an outdoor video!
Just kidding! The whole "don't use it outside" talk is just that Nintendo doesn't get warranty claims. "Outside" doesn't necessarily mean off road and dirty. Using yoga mats and so one I'm sure people can create hilarious tracks in their gardens!
@Krull Köpke was the main goals for Germany at that time and 98 was his last World Cup. From that stand point it makes sense to put him on the cover. From today's point of view he might not be as recognizable as Kahn or Neuer, but at that time he sure was!
Lol lucky me I never buy digital if possible and I was not willing to buy the import version this time. Will wait for a nice sell in one of the several stores in germany (MediaMarkt, Saturn, I'm looking at you )
P.s.: I watched the video, didn't understand a thing. But what happened is, he took a video and measured the heat with a closed and running switch, then opened it, replaced the rail and checked the heat with a still open switch... Come on! At least put the back cover on and run it for several minutes to check the heat again. It's like measuring the temperature in a sauna with the door open...
I think it's a good thing to tell people about this issue. What I personally don't like is the lack of explanation/details behind it. If I do this fix, I want to know the cause and the reason, otherwise I feel not comfortable doing any of this. So, is there any connections to the heat system? Is there an air intake? Has it something to do with charging the joy cons? More details, please!
@Dang69 yeah, actually after watching the video I was wondering who would actually think this runs on a pro. There are visible frame rate drops. Nevertheless, I'm looking forward how much they can improve it and what a 3rd party game like this specifically developed for the Switch from the ground is capable of!
@Dang69 I don't have a PS4, so I cannot speak from experience. Maybe it's just a handful of people who have this problem and these people speak out loud in forums These people saying "a net is taking off in my living every time I play my PS4 pro". The comments are hilarious! I guess it's mainly the first version and they improved it later on? Anyway, I hope your PS4 stays quiet ✌️
I really love that they keep making free season updates. What I actually don't like is, that most of these levels are super unfair and frustrating. Especially if you only jump back in the game for these updates, the levels are really mercy less...
For anyone who hopes a Switch Pro will bringt 4k and 60fps gaming soon: I just watched the teardown of the PS5 and that thing is huge! All that for 8k and 120hz gaming. The Switch is as big as the PS5 a power Supply. Heck, even the Xbox Series S will not support 4k gaming. Taking the size of the Switch into consideration, I think many people don't make fair comparisons. Nintendo wants to bring an enjoyable experience to everyone. They could let the SoC run on higher speed which would result in less battery life, hotter device and or louder fan (just look at PS4 Pro). Nintendo already did great magic with the Switch, but even they don't have enough Mana to pull these stunts. So I for myself will not get my hopes up for 4k and or 60fps with a Switch Pro. If they can do it, it's the cherry on the cake!
@doctorhino only downloads for updates after the release were required. Of the shown price is true, it's even more expensive then the complete edition, which is available around 50€ normally.
@Juga Trust me, it's way easier then W101. I just finished W101 a week ago and enjoyed it a lot, but it was unfair and frustrating in so many ways. Astral Chain is never like this in no situation!
@RPGamer actually, for this kind of game, a cartridge is nice to have, but actually it only makes sense after a release with all the content. Otherwise byoh have to download the extra content anyway. Yeah, some should wait for the final version, which might take another 5-10 years if he keeps pushing out content
@WoomyNNYes luckily it's much easier to repair than the joy cons. The drift on Procons.is usually dirt and can be fixed with compressed air and contact cleaner. Also, no special screw drivers needed to open it. This didn't work for my joy cons and I needed to replace the sticks. Also quite easy, luckily...
@status-204 how to know if the game is finished or not without trying? As far as I'm concerned, these issues were not addressed in the review her for example...
