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

@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

@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...

@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..

Re: Reggie Fils-Aimé Weighs In On 'Switch 2 Welcome Tour' Controversy (Sort Of)

romanista

Thanks for explaining the Japanese title, it indeed makes it more feel like an 'extra game for those who really want to know' than a manual (and who need that)...

One argument I didn't see yet is that of perceived value... More than 50% of ps5 owners don't even know astros playroom is there so adding it as a new game around launch (when the store is still barren) might give it some more light.

but I do hope it will be more than just a five minute experience though... I mean, even the nintendo museum didn't show any real secrets, did it...and was a cute but ultimately superficial experience if I read the reports..

The screenshots of explaining 4K by using super Mario bros 1.1 were quite interesting though

Re: Talking Point: Does Switch 2 Have Nintendo's Best Launch Line-Up Ever?

romanista

Depends a bit on your perspective i guess... I don't think Split fiction and other ports are really a part of the line up (i can already play them)

If I look at the ones I stil play it is GC .. super monkey ball.. crazy taxi! luigi's mansion! And the Wii had it most satisfying unexpted launch game; excite truck

And I was convinced that MKDS was a launch title... the first images of that, which was such a step up from the gba really hyped me for the ds
