Re: Feature: Farewell, Nintendo Switch - It's Finally Time To Bid Our Old Friend 'Adieu'

romanista

The Switch was probably the first console I really enjoyed with my children... now 18/15, then 10 and 7 ( I had a commodore AMIGA at home at that age) ... Even though we already had a ps4 then, it (and the ps5) never were played like this one, and ofcourse it has been with us to england, thailand, croatia, portugal (wario ware!), and so many other places... Thursday S2 is coming... it has a halluva legacy to live up too...

Keeping my switch 1 for gameshare, and next to my turnable monitor to play Tate...

Re: Gallery: Here's Another Look At GameCube Games On Switch 2

romanista

Really nice to have some gamecube stuff to play.. . controller is pre ordered as well since i just love the gc controller and purple is my favourite colour

sort of interesting they do a lot with the crt controller, sicne the GC generation is the first on which the games are not really pixel arty anymore... f-zero gx looks modern better ( i play it on my wiiu these days)...

Are there no rumours on when mario strikers comes along.. on the amsterdam switch 2 event it was already included in the app .. so i can't imagine it will be that long...

And we indeed need SMB1.. still the OG! @skippermonkey

Re: Everybody's Golf: Hot Shots Has Been Rated By The ESRB

romanista

@Rockgamer @ramouz @jumping_dead I loved the ps4 version too, alweays something to do and weird modes... didn't find any golf game on the switch really satisfying (mario golf, nice story mode, but not the 3 click system, and not many champs, golf story nice rpg, but not for some quick rounds).. so a portable golf game, at least on 3ds level is always welcome.... still play MG world tour at times... The vita version of EG is quite nice too, so I have hopes for this a nice little release...

wonder about the pricing.. (for patapon too.... L button on my vita is broken so difficult to play, even when remapping since it also needs al lcorssquarecirciletriangle buttons)

And sony games on a switch remains interesting just got forza horizon discounted on my ps5.. strange times

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's Game Boy Library With Four More Titles

romanista

@garfreek this indeed.... would never have bought these on VC

And good timing with survival kids for the switch 2 game.... might interest me...

that adventure game looks really 8 bit text adventure ish.... and gradius is always good with that gradius collection coming soon.... (recently started playing gradius V when i got a cheap ps2 last year)

Re: SEGA Unveils New Sonic 'Racing Around The World' Campaign

romanista

@Zufolobelisk yeah you're right.. weird timing... all sonic racing games seems to come (for me at last) at inconvenient times.. I only started playing the WiiU game (the best in the series imo) in 2021, when i was done with mk8dx (pre booster) and was looking for some new racing inspiration

Re: Nightdive Studios' CEO Says That Game-Key Cards On Switch 2 Is "Disheartening"

romanista

@Anti-Matter depends on what yoy think is the alternative..if game keys make less game codes in a box appear it is a net benefit.....

And as Newman says, full physical almost never is full physical anymore due to updates.... so what Nintendo (it won't have been one person, knowing japanese culture) did was 'is this what you want"in a world where psysical on xbox cesased to exist and on ps5 only as an option)...

but I get your sentiment, i started collicting evercade cartridges to get that classical feeling back, with manuals), even though i know there is an sd card within an evercade cartridge..

Re: Limited Run's Atlus Switch 2 Collector's Edition Is A 'Game-Key Card' Release

romanista

@NinChocolate Yup, modern physiucal media are basically an illusion... but limited run games is selling that ilusion (for 249 euros), so I can imagine people gwtting a bit upset (although it is also a mirror of ofcourse of what we are buying

Gamekeys are a good thing compared to a game code in the box (something real you can seel on), but ofcourse it doesn't solve the basis issues of digital games... even though what we still call physical media mainly contain the beta's (minimal viable products?) with huge one day patches and other services coming afterwards..

Re: Poll: After One Month, How Often Are You Actually Using 'Nintendo Today'?

romanista

I have it as a widget on my phone and when I see a picture which interests me I click on it.. it is how I learned about the two most recent nso updates..

and nitendo life is now often quoting it, so I guess it means it is quite fast in news too..

And it cheers me up to see a bit of mario... would be niced if it merget with the other app(s) ... 3 nintendo apps with limited functions seems a bit much

Re: Random: Masahiro Sakurai Finds Success In Switch 2 Lottery

romanista

@A_WINNER_IS_Mii Thanx for the tips... i'm just trying to learn Japanese for when i will make a trip there with my daughter in a few years.

I really learned to understand languages when I had Ancient Classical Greek in High School.,... Grammar really was a puzzle , which helped me when learning Italian and other languages like Bahasa Indonesia

@A_WINNER_IS_Mii Thanx, fun to see that this month I made a remark about japanese twice, and twice I got a great explanation... beats duolingo;)

Btw maybe it is because i'm Dutch, but the Dutch equivalent En? En? En? (with and=en) would make perfect sense to me, like being really excited to know the result of something...

Re: Review: DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou (Switch) - Cave's Vicious Shooter Is Close To The Series' Best

romanista

@KeeperBvK thanx. My japanese is indeed duolingo level, where i en encountered this word. But I wouldnargue that since the futari refers to bug princess, which is person it still means 2 here. Two princesses. (Ser that wiki makes Bug princess duo out of it)

So while my comment was a bit ‘easy’. The point still stand. We use the Qualifier of the title to refer to the sequal pretending it is the name. But hey in a way that’s okay too. It’s how some country names we use now are formed too..
