@Heavyarms55 perhaps but records also offer a sound quality experience than CDs can’t replicate

@User199x Lucky you. You can’t buys CDs at any mall I’ve been to recently, and those are dying as well. (People drive thru grocery shop now ..: ) My car doesn’t even have a CD player in it for example and it’s a 2015. I know CDs exist but barely. Have you seen an 8 track lately?

Where Books and Records have made a comeback in recent years due to offering unique experiences CDs/DVDs are virtually dead. (DVDs not Blu-rays)

It’s nice that someone still writes but judging for the complaints from the postal community, you are slowly becoming the last.

@Heavyarms55 yeah that’s why I import ._. Been doing that for a long time. The funny thing is Records are actually making a comeback, and usually have goodies like that <.<

But it is strange time when Records have a larger footprint than a CD in a box store.

@AnotherGoblin Pretty sure they already confirmed the cloud for that but my memory could be fuzzy.

@User199x do CDs really co-exist? When’s the last time you’ve been to a major box store. In fact If I recall correctly Best But phased them out of the physical stores.

Books are a slightly different story because of the physical low tech experience it provides.

Let me ask you something.

When’s the last time you’ve actually physical wrote a letter to someone?
How many kids use cursive?

@gloom it’s called the long game. And Gamepass is basically the Netflix’s for games. That’s what MS is after not the hardware that they have to sell at a lost anyway. Nintendo is the only company that makes money on that.

@JasmineDragon claps

Do I think streaming is the future ? Yes Netflix won. There isn’t a doubt about it.

Is it tomorrow ? No.

Do I like it? No but it’s not for me.

Most of Us isn’t what this is about. Just like last time I checked xCloud is in Beta not Alpha and the series X is coming. The infrastructure isn’t there yet, and people are clouding their viewpoints with what is going on in their lives not what their kids lives will look like.

20 years ago my laptop weighed pounds and had a 3 gig hard drive. Today my cellphone weighs ounces and has 256g hard drive. That’s what this is about.

@Silly_G TMS has Fire Emblem characters in it they can’t sell it it off. In fact I think the remaster was just to squeeze a little more money out of it. It’s not like they did a ton with it.

Don’t get me wrong I don’t like to replace things, and I think Switch doesn’t need to compete with the other guys. But at some point people are going to want more from just Nintendo games than what they are now. Handheld tech evolves faster than it did in the past. You can’t limit your mindset like that. I don’t think it’s a death of Nintendo. However, with this logic, our phones are going to play better games.

@westman98 no disagreement there. Like I said the only part that made sense was the move for the GTS to mobile.

@westman98 Just one more reason why it makes sense to move the GTS to home.

@Grumblevolcano actually this is the only thing about home that makes sense. The reason for the mobile GTS is because of trade servers. Right now you can’t use GTS with Gen 4/5 because they killed those servers. Not to mention gens 6 and 7 each have their own unique servers. If they move the trade servers to one centralized location all games going forward will continue to have GTS access.

Now everything else meh, but that move makes sense.

@Kalmaro Gen 3 can’t transfer with Gen 1/2. They had to add the remakes to allow for that.

I mean I’m not commenting so either way just letting you know the game

@Archius9 “some” sure but there are plenty of empty towns in past games that’s are just way points for the gyms. That’s normal. As far as I know SwSh actually featured a city for the “elite four” which in the past didn’t exist. It was a building; this is a massive city.

Again this status quo.

Ultra SUMO wasn’t a sequels but a third game entry divided twice. There is an important distinction.

The only sequel game was Black 2 White 2. Which was unique. Meaning that XY, BW, B2W2 are complete packages as is.

That needs to said because to get the entire “Sun/Moon experience” would be the four games and that would cost you 160.00 plus the hours needed to completely four games.

The cost is almost the same as SWSH, why people act like SWSH is more expense is beyond me. The cool things they are doing is you don’t need complete four games and if you don’t buy the expansion you can still trade in the Pokémon. Which in the past when there was a new Pokémon like New Ultra Beast you were SOL.

Honestly people really need to look back at the games history before complaining about one entry which isn’t even the worst issue.

I mean Sun/Moon was incompletely Mina didn’t even have her captains quest. Entire islands had little to no content. Weak postgame. To Single out SwSh when this is status quo is silly.

Also does anyone remember that before they made it compatible the Pokebank was locked for the first four months of the new games meaning you couldn’t trade old Pokémon and weee stuck using the in game ones only.

@Kirby_Girl yeah well not going to argue there; I have similar feelings towards a few things on the list but at least that one legitimately was an update.

@Kirby_Girl Umm Technically, FF8 HD Remaster isn’t a really an “old game”. It just came out this year. And given some of the changes it toes the “remaster” line.

I for one couldn’t be happier because there is too much anyway- I need to get caught up. I think a lot of these delays are better positioning. There are several games due out beginning of next year that would overlap the fanbase as well as some that just released. The big KH 3 DLC drops Jan/Feb, Star Ocean just released, Pokémon, Tokyo Mirage Sessions, and Trails of Mana Remake. Now this gives me some breathing room

@PickledKong64 it’s due to massive discounting.

@Mr_Pepperami there are plenty of reasons to buy those consoles though. Thing is the new ones console wont be out for a full year, and there are several pretty big titles for the XBox and PS4. Cyberpunk, FFVIIR, and Last of Us. Then there is a gap year where you get stuff for both. Plus Gamepass gets a lot of new titles cycling through.

It’s funny how Popular Rowlett is and popular Chikorita isn’t.

Mine were
Torchic
Treeko
Oshawott

I cannot stand Tencent. So No.

I’m really sick of people who haven’t been playing the games for years telling the rest of us who have, how we should and shouldn’t feel. Sorry you don’t get come in last minute and me that I should be okay with the fact that I probably won’t get to play with Snivy and Oshawott until a potential Gen 5 remake in 2024. Or better yet Feraligator in 2030. No you don’t get to do that at all.

Worst category for me as water is my favorite starter and I love them all

@Nego Seriously!? The point is that if PlayStation also sees a future in the more attuned rumble then more devs are going to design for it period. Like analogue triggers, the Switch joycons don’t use them but that’s doesn’t stop games for being designed with them.

On a far more literal note, you can use DualShock 4s with an adapter with the Switch. I assume 5s would be the same.

@Nego you do realize that the DualShock 5s are suppose to have “haptic rumble” right?

Pikachu as a Pichu I cant wait!

@DarthFoxMcCloud According to Target, you can order and ship to Canada off their international Site, and the Steelbook option is there. I’m not sure what shipping would be tho.

@dougphisig you can get a Steelbook in the US- https://www.target.com/p/pokemon-sword-38-pokemon-shield-double-pack-steelbook-edition-nintendo-switch-target-exclusive/-/A-77696348

^^ US Steelbook Edition.

I’m really okay with this. Not to mention Virtuos is doing it and they like to put in Nintendo specific features.

Go go Feral power for proving there is another good porting studio and bring us a properly optimized game

Spur of the moment pick up for me (like most of Bandai-Namco’s titles) and I couldn’t be happier .

@Ooccoo_Jr well it’s an older game, and it’s up against DQ11s which while old has a ton of new stuff (oh the music...) I think it did pretty well to hit the top ten.

Heres the thing I don’t understand is that given the subject matter it sells best in Japan. Why even bother releasing this in the West?

I mean it’s not like westerns can’t get the Japanese eshop version if someone wants to play it.

But they forced the version without the Japanese Subtext (I’m not even talking censorship, I mean cultural stuff) on the Japanese. It makes the game senseless for them?

@DarkLloyd the Japanese version will be same version as the western one.

I remember watching that last night and thinking are they talking about Tetris? This are fan names...

@HumanDog not everyone wanting crossplay is about competition

@Dang69 that’s not at all what they came to the conclusion because he overclocked the CPU and they made no dent. However, when he upped the GPU only it made a difference. Ergo GPU is doing something for the CPU 12:25 in the DF video.

All People notice significant drops, but not everyone is going to notice a small one. Hence why some people are it’s no big deal. It’s just we all have different levels

@chipperkwah No actually. A good chunk of people can’t tell the difference between 30 and 60, which is normal BTW. They might notice a longer drop, but a momentary one not so much. On the other hand, you and many others are using an upper limit of your vision, so it’s very jarring.

I notice it in the swamp and around water because I instantly get motion sickness and get a headache. That’s where my ability taps out and don’t notice the rest as much. It really does depend on your vision.

@Danito Actually it’s more of an eye thing, you know they right ?

@nintendolie because based on the the video from DF it’s not CPU speed; it’s the GPU causing the issue.

@Anti-Matter @somebread which would be fine in the case of bigger titles but indies would never find their way onto the Switch if it wasn’t for digital. Hollow Knight couldn’t do a physical initially. And even if the indie title could find someone to print physically who is going to stock it? Stores have limited physical space; they are going to want it for their bigger known games. Not to mention developers make a lot less on a physical copy because cart cost and The “middle man”. The fact is the best way to support and indie dev is digital not physical.

Again I understand about physical I get it but indie titles are a completely different than even a AA title. It’s be nice tho don’t get me wrong.

The sheer amount of energy Feral put into the port should be applauded not ignored. They built in three modes, one of which is a battery save option. They added a high res texture pack for free at launch. And GameCube support, full support, not just works with. The game actually registers when you switch on the fly to a GameCube over the pro.

No I’m not going to complain about feature that’s coming.

@h15c0r3r it’s coming it’s just not available at launch.

Sakurai mentioning Xbox in the Smash video doubled their sales.

@Razzy but here’s the thing, Bernadette’s text change was a return to the original Japanese Text. The change you linked is clearly censorship.

@Ryu_Niiyama exactly.

People would rather rant about than consider the actual text. Even now I bet many people didn’t go and actually read the true translation.

@DarkKirby it was changed and now more closely matches the original Japanese line which has no mention of being forced to be quiet all day. The translator embellished the translation.

@JayJ well that’s true except “he challenged me to be quiet all day” isn’t at all in the Japanese. So It’s not a context debate; that was complete added 100%. It has nothin to do with broken English.

@JayJ umm no this is not bad censorship this a change in dialogue to reflect the original content as it was intended. Whoever actually embellished the line in the first place is at fault. It’s censorship to fix the translation?

@suikoden It’s actually more of clutch. And I’m pretty sure I can walk around with it and not get beat up

That said I think it’s better for carrying accessories and games than the actually system... also might be nice for Go Community days for my wallet. It sure is cute

@Bunkerneath yeah I’m kind of sad about that too. Now that all three of the PS1s are remastered; I’m hoping for a collection.

@BlackenedHalo obviously they can’t make some people happy.
