If it's Apple, there will never be another sqeex game for nintendo.

I use the Ikea PLUFSIG mat. Nice and thick at 3.2cm. And less than half the price of the hori mat.

@quinnyboy58 Problem is, you can only be truely informed after you buy a thing like this. I agree that better sticks would be nice and that many other features are not required for enjoyment. But overall this seems like a bad purchase at this price. (Edited because it does still fit in the dock)

No motion (or is that handled by the Switch tablet?), no hd rumble, no amiibo, no ir, no wireless operation. Just get some joy con grips for 1/5th the price.

@Twilite9 or New Switch? or Switch Turbo? Switch Extreme? Or... Switch UHD, pronounced: "uuhhhhd"?

@ModdedInkling splatoon 3 probably will not be too much different either. Just more of the same, some polish and maybe a new mode or two. It's too popular to change. And I agree, it's too soon.

I recognize how the always on news dot on the NSO icon, that never indicates any actual news, brings you to also ignore the news dot on the channels icon. Hope ninty changes this soon.

Great content! Nice way to celebrate these porting achievements even though the consoles involved are no longer the hottest.

I want to play doom eternal with the ringcon!

Nobody asked for the Stalker games yet? I know they are interested, but need a porting party.
Also: Halo Spartan strike was a nice twin sick shooter on mobile. Not gonna happen.
Then Infinity Blade trilogy would bring interesting gameplay when done with joy con. But now Epic and Chair have fortnite, so r.i.p.

If only Panic button had added cross save to Doom eternal, it might sway ppl who bought it on PC months ago.

@clvr Two inputs competing sounds exactly like what’s happening. The steam controller is also supported in steam XD. Weird that wolfenstein (also a bethesda title) does have nice gyro aim and DE does not.
Anyhow, I am now used to playing with mouse and keyboard and some fights really benefit from accuracy. I do find that I don’t actually play it that much, because my PC is my workplace and not where I go to relax. Maybe if I get around to the steam streaming thing...

@clvr thanks. I got gyro aim to work with ds4windows and a ds4, for every game I tried, except: doom eternal. The input is there, but it's jerky as hell. Also tried the steam controller. Haven't given the Switch pro controller a try yet, since it didn't work a couple of years ago. I have given up and now play DE with good old keyboard and mouse.

@anoyonmus i do hope that for that full price the dlc will be included. Other platforms are below 1/3 starting price now. I got my pc version with all doc for 40 a couple of months back. It runs stupidly well on pc, but gyro aiming is near impossible.

I have ppl clean their hands before touching my stuff. And have them dry completely.

"Not a proper Zelda game". That's like, your opinion man. You get to play as Zelda. Which "proper" Zelda game lets you do that?
I find 8/10 very low for hwaoc. Especially since NL is often very generous for first party games.
Since Gavin so obviously is not a musou-man, one needs to add 1.4 points for hwaoc for being:...
THE BEST MUSOU ON SWITCH RN!
It has more variation in move sets, more depth of story and character, more verticality, better music and more love went into it than any other musou title on Switch.
Just watch Tris Valbuena from gamexplain talk about hwaoc for hours and discover how a musou fan experiences it.

@LatsaSpege yes! Because this is more then enough waffling!

Is there a ladle?

It's no long switch exclusive! But anyway, I started my 7yo on this game and he loves it! Immediately picked the new outer and arsenal (before knowing they were new). I feel like a good parent. Better than letting him get some ftp ipad mech game. DxM requires real skill.

How many server-slots are there and are you willing to wait when your precious hour of planned gaming time has come?

The license for games like control on Switch should be able to revert to PC licences after they stop the service, and the app should (then) be able to stream from your own PC.
But then: would you prefer a port (Witcher, Doom, etc) with lesser graphics and greater price, or would you prefer to stream from your PC? PC prices for the same games are often much lower and even a cheap PC has more graphics horse power than Switch. But at the cost of some more hardware, with a much higher power use; Switch is a very planet-friendly way to game.

@BenAV as horrible as mobile F2P is, it is very widespread. It does impact console gaming, because mobile gaming is more convenient (device you already own) and loading times are often much, much faster. It is way easier to play a game for just a couple of minutes, while for example Splatoon 2 goes out of its way to make sure you plan to play for a longer time by way of the news announcements. How “good” it is to be able to play for a couple of minutes might be a reason for Nintendo to choose this path and indicate that faster loading times are not a priority for consoles...

It would make sense of this cloud version comes with a PC licence and that the app will support streaming from your own pc. Then I might buy into it. Otherwise: hell no!

@TG16_IS_BAE agree. It'd be nice if the joy con "pro" sticks had the feel of the pro controller. But I'd like a bigger screen too. Same size Switch, just edge to edge and 1080p please.

Nobody appears to be talking about Killer Queen Black and its awesomeness, while everybody should. It got great additions after release and was already one of the greatest single screen eight player games ever to hit the Switch. Get it now and marvel at snail victory, sweaters and starvation!

@BTB20 with switching between turret, walking and flying!

I also hope we can play the other side. Playing as a Lynel would rock!

@Henmii Ganendorphin!

@RudyC3 dlss 2.0 is pretty sweet. See what it can do with 240p source: https://youtu.be/_gQ202CFKzA
But this is an rtx3xxx feature. Not sure if it will fit on a mobile console. If it does though, it will just work out of the box and developers wont have to do anything. Quick win! At least for resolution. Frame-rate is probably trickier, as it might involve timing.

@Tharsman...in the US. The rest of the world does not care.

This game just might wean my youngest from roblox. Full price is too much for the effort, but not for getting rid of roblox.

@Jojarett87 I get enjoyment out of using abilities just right. Now that there will be a real story in there too and playing in areas I already love, makes the hype pretty massive.
Any other “interesting” musou should probably also feature the same familiar areas and characters and add story details. Other open world Nintendo ip would be obvious choices. Xenoblade is the most obvious choice. But since hw:aoc was a total surprise, they might pick another ip. Astral chain would rock, but it has very few candidate characters. I guess any new Astral Chain would be welcome.
But what about a pikmin musou? Or Kirby? Or Doom? Oh wait, that already is basically musou...

@readalie only if Monster Energy cooperates. Otherwise you’d get “Gods & Creatures” or some such.

@siouxrunner15 will the weapons in Hw:aoc break? That would be new to hyrule warriors ...

@HotGoomba no need to imagine. It exists in emulation. https://youtu.be/hyz5zG_txsA

@Camek48 nintendo is worth about 11 Zenimax at $85b. That might be too expensive for ms and might be too close to creating a monopoly.

@mariomaster96...they did have plenty of time to fix it!

@NinjaSyao thanks for the tip! I am trying multiple methods (dualshock 4 with ds4windows, steam controller and switch pro controller), but some games (bethesda) respond differently. Super hot mind control delete, horizon zero dawn, star wars battleftont work perfectly, but doom is unplayably stuttery. Playing around with the setting requires relaunching and even with m.2 ssd it is still slow.

Hope the new pro switch will have faster and more storage!

Already bought the deluxe version (future DLC included) for PC for probably half of what the Switch version will cost. Hard to get motion aiming on PC though...

@ViewtifulJotun look at spellbreak. Seems visually similar. Also: this will probably use the ubisoft snowdrop engine, so look at starlink.

RTX30XX CONFIRMED! Hope a refreshed switch will have benefits for 1080p too. Maybe better framerates or oversampling. I'd personally love faster loading times too.

@Edu23XWiiU it will, according to nintendo’s page. It will also have paid DLC, because the preorder bonus is an item you can buy later on.

No gyro, no sale.

Excel deluxe definitive edition HD

No gyro in a fps on switch? Hard pass.

@DarthKirby It is every screen protector they get an affiliate link for. In this case "best" are the ones that get NL some cash. Which is cool, but would be nice to get an opinion...

Hm. 6 on the NL scale is absolute rubbish.

Nobody mentioned DLC yet. I would prefer an extension over a whole new game.

@CurryPowderKeg79 Hopefully they don't read blogs for good people like us...

Brooke's law: Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later. So here's hoping it wasn't already late.
