Re: Switch NES Games Will Enhance Retro Experience With HD Resolution, Filters And Save States

In many countries it's legal to make backups & use them in your own (non-profit or non-sharing) way. So if you care about piracy just investigate your local laws and if they allow it, buy games on cartridges, dump them (or get those dumps in any other way, as they exactly the same) & play. Also, if an emulator requires a BIOS dump you have to own an original console too before you can use it.

Re: Rumour: Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn Will Apparently Be Exclusive To New Nintendo 3DS

I'm in a minority who don't buy old games twice, I still have my Wii U attached to TV & play time to time its titles, as well as some Wii's too, also have Wii for GameCube & most Wii games. I use my 3DS to play original NDS & 3DS titles, DS Lite for GBA games. I've PS3 which give me an access to libraries of PS1-2-3 & Vita for itself & PSP games. When I bought Switch it was for new decent games only. Same for my upcoming PS4 purchase - no remakes / ports / GOTY editions, I don't feed laziness. So if I ever want to replay this neat little gem, it'll be on Wii or Wii U where it's dirty cheap & not on 3DS.

Re: Has Nintendo Accidentally Revealed The Entire Cast Of Super Mario Party?

GCCX is a great show, Arino makes boring games so fun in his challenges, nice to see this collaboration. But MP itself isn't looks tempting for me, also those joy-cons only controls, one per a player, even with a charging grip they're so too tiny & uncomfortable, but alone in a gamepad mode are a pure pain for me.

Re: Feature: Nintendo Life eShop Selects - August 2018

@jobvd
Technically you're right, but those two are released in a current generation so they're new games & it's called multiplatform. That's what Nintendo needs on Switch as Wii U flopped not due to a lame first-party library or lack of indies but because of almost absent support of third-party developers. Wii, their most successful stationary device to date, had much love of major devs even if in a downgraded manner so you have as close as possible experience on it. But with Switch you miss so much that you have to buy a second console or a gaming PC.

@Mgene15
I feel your pain, man, some users can't bear negative replies, they prefer to live in a 'pony world' where all are happy despite of anything. To each their own, I don't care if they ignore me.

Some great indies are here but where're AAA titles? Not aged ports, not remakes but true new games? The start was great, with ARMS, Disgaea 5, DOOM, Fire Emblem Warriors, Super Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 2, Xenoblade 2 & some others. But why the whole next year is just Portendo Indietch? You know Nintendo, not everyone bought this console for indies & old Wii U games, why not stretch decent releases through all seasons. At least this autumn finally should move a balance of indies & ports to new AAAs.

Re: Review: Space Ribbon (Switch eShop)

Switch needs a more mature autosim which isn't a shovelware at the same time, something to compete Forza & Gran Turismo. I hope Nintendo did some researches on this direction as MK8D is a lazy port and shouldn't take too much time.

Re: HD Remaster Of Grandia And Dreamcast Sequel Revealed For Nintendo Switch

oji

Isn't this series is a trilogy? Will the 3rd installment be sold separately at full price or not come at all?

It's good to have some old good games, but what Switch really needs are new titles, AAA and AA, not only from Nintendo, its 2nd party devs & most loyal 3rd parties, but also from as much other developers as possible.

Re: Video: Check Out The 2018 Indie Highlights For Switch Video Right Here

Children of Morta looks promising, but with Diablo 3 coming soon I'm not sure if I need anything else in this genre. Everspace also took my attention but there's Starlink on a horizon & again I don't need two space shooters at the same time, will have to read reviews to make a choice between these two.

And where's AAAwesome Direct? Indies are just filling gaps between big releases so I can't wait for these new reveals, not 3+ years old ports but really new games.

Re: Blizzard's StarCraft Series Unlikely To Be Released On Nintendo Switch

oji

StarCraft 64 was good enough, especially in a local multiplayer. Also Switch have touch controls in a portable mode & gyro emulating a wiimote pointer while docked. Almost perfect for any kind of strategy, also dock station have USB ports so it's not too hard to add a mouse/keyboard support for a hardcore audience. But at least we have Diablo 3 which is a great deal too.

Re: Nintendo Download: 16th August (Europe)

@Cosats
For me decent titles aren't indies, especially not those which were released years & years ago on Steam. That's all shovelware for my taste, or if you prefer to extend your vocabulary - overpriced trash. That's my opinion & if you have another just tell it without that dumb 'your vocabulary' offense, or else you looks kind of [removed].

Re: Nintendo Download: 16th August (Europe)

Another week full of a shovelware, there's also a decent but already played to death on 3DS MH & after MH: World it's hard for me to return to original concepts, too many QoL changes there.

Re: Nintendo Confirms Switch Online Service Will Launch In Second Half Of September

oji

I mostly play offline, alone or in a local coop, the only title I care is Splatoon 2 which I'm already played enough so run only on Splatfests once per month or so. All other Nintendo games aren't so fun for me with strangers, I better call for my family or friends to share joycons. So even if the price is low, I can't justify throwing money on occasional once per month sessions. Also absolutely not interested in cloud saves or dusty NES games, more likely I'll softmod my console to gain a save manager and emulators, if I ever need them at all.

Re: Nintendo Explains How Exactly You Can Play Xenoblade Chronicle 2’s Prequel Story

oji

That's stupid, trading a box without a cartridge, a value of a physical copy is totally missed. In recent generations games lost beautiful manuals, now quite often they require downloads before you can actually play, & next is lack of a media at all. I'm totally fine with my limited edition copy + season pass, without a plastic case & printed cover for extra 10$.
