@Nincompoop I think I would prefer without ratings. It would only hinder me and clutter the UI. I am not someone else and I do not want to rate my games.
The champion amiibo helms also give "ancient weapon proficiency" when upgraded to at least two stars in combination with the ancient armor and greaves (also at >2*). It is a pity that the helms do not give you all you could hope for (fireproof, swim-spin attack, freezeproof, shockproof), but it's nice. All I want now is an ancient boomerang to be proficient in and to grab it with magnesis like a buzz saw.
@readyletsgo If you know the differences between hyrule warriors on Wii U and 3DS, you will find that just about all improvements are present in FEW. I don't know the FE universe and found FEW very similar to HW, while looking absolutely stunning.
I am just not that sure I like the sexiness in this game. It has a 12 rating, but I wish there were a way to make it "good" for my 4yo button-mashing son. Now with additional disrobing.
Perhaps a toggle to 3+ rating would be possible...
@UmniKnight Now that I have seen the exact scene you refer to, I am more bothered by the ground texture. It looks like minecraft. I think the rock might actually be horse dung...
@carlos82 download play or multiple switches can use the same eshop purchases, like Apple does. Oh and the same goes for the online subscription. Apple is getting rich, so maybe Nintendo can too while making it somewhat more affordable to use multiple Switches in a house hold. Oh and a more or less indestructable kids version plz.
@UmniKnight then buy a true home console (or become member of the pc master race) to see photo realistic rocks.
Nintendo has never been about bleeding edge graphics. Rainway might do something here, but I doubt nintendo will allow it.
@Fred13 it would definately be nice if Nintendo backs its strategy for multiple systems in a family with something like a family subscription, similar to Apple.
Korg Gadget is an excellent product and very usable on the Switch. I already own much of it on iOS. Did not want to buy it (again) on Mac and will not buy it (again) on Switch. On iOS it is a €40 start, then about €16 for each extra gadget (some are more, some less). If you get all, it will cost over €250, though prices get 50% cut quite often. The Arp, Wavestation and Mono/Poly are outstanding. Kamata will please Nintendo lovers. Everything else could be done with just one sample player.
Nintendo will probably not allow it, if they are sensible. But the Switch will inevitably be hacked and then there is no stopping this. Meanwhile: Is there a real advantage of rainway over shield tablet or steam link?
@meleebrawler I am forced to play it every day. My four year old son needs it before going to bed. I like achievements; extra prizes and learning more moves along the way. At the pace Nintendo is releasing these updates, I think they had a lot of this ready before initial release. What I don't get is the numbering. 3.2 and a new character?
That's what you get for letting save games get to 5Gb. It's the magic limit where stuff becomes self aware. It just realized that corruption is preferable to bureaucracy and that you did not spend every last cent you had on in-game currency. Stuff happens.
Hang on, if the "nintendo tax" is about expensive cartridges, why is the eshop version the same price? It is less valuable as it is; can never be resold.
@Nintendoforlife lego always a source of quality? Have you experienced the loading times on lego city undercover? On any console? Sometimes they just release stuff and hope the Lego brand will make it sell to people who don't read reviews...
I wish the Rainway app will come out soon. Rayman legends on PC is now 4 euro. Plus, I could play all kinds of DS, Wii and Wii U games via Citra, Dolphin or Cemu...
Steep is somewhat demanding in the graphics department, AND has a proprietary engine, AND is always online. Three way difficult. Also: if ubisoft do manage to port the always-online part, I am most definately NOT buying it. Also: they better include all dlc if they want full price from me. Steep gold xbox is already priced at half of botw, so there is the question of possible ROI on the port... Otherwise: i was really, really stoked to buy it! Bought Arms instead. Happy.

Re: Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Update 1.3.4 Is Now Live
@simbakitty isn't "breath of the wild" another term for "halitosis"? That would make "wilder" smell worse. How 'bout a mint?

@Moshugan Nier would be pretty awesome! As would Deus Ex.

Re: Nintendo Outlines Black Friday Deals, With A "Link Green" Zelda 2DS Leading The Charge
@Spoony_Tech It has a brown bottom...
Re: Reggie on Backing Up Your Saves with the Switch
Perhaps Nintendo will add cloud backup of saves with the monthly online subscription. That would make sense and would make you keep that subscription.
Re: Nintendo Outlines Black Friday Deals, With A "Link Green" Zelda 2DS Leading The Charge
@Spoony_Tech you mean the shape? Have you ever held one in your hands? Comfy! Also: it's for kids. Clam shells are for responsible people only

Re: Nintendo Opens Super Mario Odyssey Photo Contest, But There's A Catch
It's good to win nothing. That means all entries are only for fun.
Re: Reggie Fils-Aimé Targets an "Extra Nintendo Twist" for the Switch Online Service
@UmniKnight OK, I agree that graphics quality should be consistent, at any level of bleeding-edge-ness.

This article is a good example of Betteridges law. The answer is "No". And in this case: it is better. The "faster horse" thing.
