Re: GameStop's Internal Database Lists Multiple New SKUs For Switch

The revelation for December: the Xmas shopping month, what could it be?

Initially I thought it could be BotW2, now I am thinking it's a game yet to be revealed: Pikmin.

Nintendo added the Piranha Plant to Smash Bros and Mario Tennis a few months ago. People were scratching their heads, wondering why that character (and not Waluigi)? Nintendo don't do things randomly, it's all planned. Either there's going to be a Piranha Plant game or it will be a Pikmin game with that plant in it.

Reincarnation is the mechanics of the universe.

It's cool that someone uses that mechanic in a game, but then again didn't all game characters respawned when they died? Especially Deadcells.

Anyway 7/10 is low for Switch. There's just too many games, anything below 8 is not worth playing anymore.

Re: If You Recently Bought A Switch, Nintendo Will Replace It With A Revised Model

LOL of course not. Nintendo didn't even mentioned the Lite or this upgraded Switch at E3, they don't want you to wait for the better hardware. Why would they exchange old units now? They are happy you are unwittingly clearing up the old inventory for them.

This is one of the things I hate about Nintendo. Unlike other tech companies, they will never tell you when they put out new hardware. They don't want people to stop buying and wait for the new ones.

Re: Feature: Best Nintendo DS Games

No Nintendog? This was the game that sold millions of DS and showed the world the power of touchscreen. (This was before iPhone era) Before Nintendog, DS was PSP's ugly silver Frankenstein monster rival.

These should be included as well:
Space Invaders Extreme
Kirby Mass Attack!
Zelda Phantom Hourglass
Art Academy
Feel the Magic XY/XX
Super Scribblenauts (This game was so revolutionary back then, now it's just another 'has been')

Re: Video: The "Impossible" Ports That Shouldn't Exist On Nintendo Switch

I wouldn't count Rocket League as an impossible port, it looks terrible compared to PS4.

I think Fast RMX is still today the most visually impressive game on Switch, it's actually a port of a Wii U game. Beautiful visuals with buttery smooth frame rate. There's many games running at 60 fps on Switch but none felt like Fast RMX: it's like games from NES/SNES era, unwavering solid frame rate that never falters.

Nintendo chose battery over speed here.

The new 14nm process enabled the new Tegra chip to run cooler. That's why battery last longer. Nintendo can easily increased the clock speed to make it run faster but will reduced battery life to that of the original Switch. Naturally they won't do that, in order to match the current standard speed for parity.

Homebrewers will have a lot of fun with this new revision.

T'is true, no one will own anything in the future. Now there's audio and video streaming, no one buys the music or movies anymore. Soon the same will happened to games. You are only renting.

Housing will become more expensive as population increases, and no one can afford to buy houses anymore. Everything will be rented to you and when you died there will be nothing to pass to your children.

You entered this world naked and you will leave this world empty handed as well. That's the nature of life.
