@Cronodoug The game is not bad. In fact, its core gameplay mechanics is so fun that many AAA games don't provide such experience when they focus too much on immersion. Games are fun not simply cuz of graphics and immersion or Switch won't be so popular. Most people really don't care that much about frame-rates too.
Having said this, I still think they should straighten out the issues.
@Zuljaras I totally agree. Amongst specs race, DRM, achievement addiction, microtransactions and all other distractions, Switch actually brought back the most core aspect of gaming, fun.
@Tendogamerxxx While I don't really support cloud gaming (not until there's major breakthrough in internet across THE WORLD), I don't think just boosting the specs of Switch is the solution here.
You need to see from developers' point of view too and the resources that they need to develop for high end consoles.
@StevenG It's not what you know but WHO you know. When you get older, you'd realize that most of the great jobs are obtained through people.
This solves the who part which often is the hardest part. (It's not undermining how important skills and knowledge are but countless other people have the same level of knowledge...)
@SakuraHaruka They can't. Saying they can delete contents off your SD card is like saying the world can end. Sure, it CAN happen, everything CAN be an illusion but it also makes any further discussion completely pointless.
@Anti-Matter what has it got to do with the digital format? They are removed from ESHOP not from your SD card, not like they have the ability to do so.
This is like worrying about not able to play box copies if retailers stop selling them.

Re: Poll: Rate Your Favourite Switch Games Of The Year 2022
So hard to choose 1 game when so many are amazing. My favorites:
Xenoblade Chronicles 3
Bayonetta 3
Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak
Splatoon 3
Pokemon Scarlet & Violet (Yes, despite the bugs. The game is fun)
Re: Bayonetta Origins Announced Exclusively For Switch, Coming March 2023
@rjejr LOL!! Can't wait either

Re: Switch Sales Increased By A Whopping 175% In The UK During November
Been really enjoying the new Pokemon despite the occasional lag and surface clip-throughs. The core gameplay mechanics is surprisingly fun.
Re: Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Smashes Past 4 Million Sales Worldwide
Congrats and well deserved!
Re: Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak Celebrates 2 Million Units Shipped With Free Item Packs
Well deserved numbers. I'm addicted to it again. Congrats!
Re: YouTube Confirms Copyright Claims On GilvaSunner's Channel Were From Nintendo
@Entrr_username They are in full compliance with the law but it's also a creator's right to dispute it. Those are 2 completely separate proceedings.
Re: Video: Slowpoke Sings Reggae To Promote Japanese "Udon" Prefecture
That's a cursed image.
Re: Japanese Charts: Switch Enjoys Bumper Week Thanks To Pokémon Legends: Arceus
MS and Sony are scrambling for other companies while Nintendo...
Re: Nintendo Of America's President Doug Bowser Thanks Fans For Helping The Switch Surpass 103 Million Sales
Still can't get over the fact that Nintendo's CEO is actually called Bowser. Lol.
Re: Nintendo Switch Has Now Outsold Both The Wii And PlayStation
@Zuljaras I totally agree. Amongst specs race, DRM, achievement addiction, microtransactions and all other distractions, Switch actually brought back the most core aspect of gaming, fun.
Re: Gallery: Here's What Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Looks Like With Raytracing
@Bydlak Same here. The original suits the style better in my opinion. I'm also not a fan of the foggy look that may or may not related to RT.
Re: Nintendo Talks About Its Future And Reconfirms Next Gaming System Is Coming In "20XX"
I'm SO glad to hear that it will happen in this century.
Re: Take A Good Look At Charming RPG The Cruel King And The Great Hero
So adorable and I love the music.

@Jeronan Same here. Chinese gaming company = plague.
Re: Review: Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy: Cloud Version - A Disastrous Way To Play A Great Game
The pros and cons are my EXACT experience with the demo.
Re: Out Now: Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy: Cloud Version Is Out, But Try The Demo First
@the_beaver I agree, I'd choose portability and accessibility over horsepower too.
There're PS5, Xbox and even PC so I really don't need another "high spec" console.

Re: Out Now: Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy: Cloud Version Is Out, But Try The Demo First
Tried it and even with my fiber cable, the game still freezes at times that I find it pretty annoying.
Also there's no motion control to aim. -.-
Re: Froggy Chair is BACK in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
@Andrew5678 IKR, it's finally playable.
Re: Talking Point: What Would You Like To See From The Animal Crossing Direct?
Placing rugs OUTDOOR!
Re: Poll: Do You Use The Black Or White Theme On Your Nintendo Switch?
I'd rather they focus on making good games than distractions like themes and folders.
The black and white themes are elegant and minimal.
Re: Monster Hunter Rise Version 3.0.0 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@RCGamer did you go online then check the in-game mail (the cat)?
Re: In Just Two Days New Pokémon Snap Became April's Best-Seller In UK Retail
@Kimyonaakuma There's also isn't a competitor on the market for young gamers if you think about it.
If you were a parent, what else would you get your kids? Fortnite? LOL.
Re: Soapbox: After 17 Years, Monster Hunter Rise Finally Made Me Kind Of Competent
I'm finally able to get into the series after so many years thanks to this game.
Re: Feature: These Japan-Only Animal Crossing Figurines Are So Darn Cute, Fans Are Struggling To Find Them
@Kid_Sickarus LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: PSA: You Should Be More Of A Vicious Killer In Monster Hunter Rise
Thank you for posting this.
Re: Japanese Charts: Huge Debut For Monster Hunter Rise Sends Switch Sales Through The Roof
I want to know the 15 people who bought PS4Pro. Lol.
Re: Monster Hunter Rise Ships Four Million Units In Opening Weekend
I just got it today and I'm pretty surprised by how well it runs and its short loading screen.
It's still daunting to new players like me but I could already feel how fun the game is.
Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Had The Best First-Year Sales Of Any Nintendo Game Ever In Europe
@karatekid1612 Same here.
This game really deserves it on so many levels.
Re: Video: Pokémon Fan "Fixes" Diamond And Pearl Remakes With This Slick Concept Trailer
The pokemon fans are making their own games at this point.
I don't know if I should laugh or cry.
Re: Video: Check Out 12 Minutes Of Story Of Seasons: Pioneers Of Olive Town Gameplay
@ShikabaneHime13 XD I suddenly really want to play the game despite being a huge fan of Animal Crossing.
The cow is super adorable.
Re: Video: Check Out 12 Minutes Of Story Of Seasons: Pioneers Of Olive Town Gameplay
Can you pet the dog tho?
Re: Poll: Do You Like The Chibi Art Style In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond And Shining Pearl?
That's not chibi art, that's lazy/poor efforts.
Please look at Link's Awakening remake for how it should look like.
Re: Random: Everyone Has A "Cursed Pikachu" Plushie In Their Collection, And Every One Of Them Is Beautiful
Kate, you are talented.
Re: Reminder: Persona 5 Strikers Launches Today On Nintendo Switch
@geo-shifter How comfortable is it to play with Joy-Con only? Do your thumbs or hand hurt?
It's probably my only concern right now. I know, it's weird.
Re: Deals: Celebrate Valentine's Day With Lovely Discounts On Animal Crossing Merchandise (UK)
The Celeste cushion is already out of stock.
Re: Nintendo Switch Has Overtaken 3DS Lifetime Sales In Just Four Years
@Kinpatsu Same here and the funny thing is that I didn't even think I'd like something so "last-gen" when I cared a lot about specs.
Re: Feature: "Nintendo Killed My Son!" - Pulling Apart A Tragic Headline, More Than Two Decades On
Ignorance killed her son. It's one of the deadliest things in the world.
Re: Nintendo Offering One-Day Game Development Internships In Japan
@StevenG It's not what you know but WHO you know. When you get older, you'd realize that most of the great jobs are obtained through people.
This solves the who part which often is the hardest part. (It's not undermining how important skills and knowledge are but countless other people have the same level of knowledge...)
Re: Video: Nintendo UK Reveals The Winner Of Its Link's Awakening Fan Art Competition
Even some in the twitter replies are better. Not saying that the winning entry is not great but I really wonder why it's chosen.
Re: Ittle Dew 2 Removed From Switch eShop Against Developer's Wishes
@SakuraHaruka They can't.
Saying they can delete contents off your SD card is like saying the world can end. Sure, it CAN happen, everything CAN be an illusion but it also makes any further discussion completely pointless.
Re: Ittle Dew 2 Removed From Switch eShop Against Developer's Wishes
@somebread To each their own, you can't get back the box copy if you lost it too.
Both formats have their distinct pros and cons. There's no need to trash one over the other.
Re: Ittle Dew 2 Removed From Switch eShop Against Developer's Wishes
@Anti-Matter what has it got to do with the digital format? They are removed from ESHOP not from your SD card, not like they have the ability to do so.
This is like worrying about not able to play box copies if retailers stop selling them.
Re: Video: Beating Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Using Only Shields
Looking forward to people beating the game with Ring-Con.
Re: Sorry, But There's No Hidden Workaround To Connect Your Switch Lite To A TV
@TJWorks It's mainly due to manufacturing cost instead of marketing. The major price drop comes from not spending money on some parts.
Re: Sorry, But There's No Hidden Workaround To Connect Your Switch Lite To A TV
@Blizzia Precisely. Which part of it being handheld and the cheaper price tag do people not understand?
Appreciate the video for confirming the info but why do some people feel surprised?
Re: Happy 130th Birthday, Nintendo!
130 years is madness if you actually think about how long it is.
Congrats, you insane Nintendo.
