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..
@hcfwesker did you see macho nacho's switch pro video... they really Mae it, higher clockspeed etc.... really weird that nintendo didn't bring it to the market
i did the piranha camera, pro en gc controllers.. hope i can wait a bit for the memory to get cheaper.. now have a 512 gb, so i probably would need a 1,5 tb in... ai..
@jojobar oh i do have nice physical ones too.. but i also see the trend that many games get such major updates (not just talking about switch), that you wonder if the classic physical game still exist
@JeronanI know, that is why i'm happy with my WiiU version, my point was just that i wasn't reallly expecting Nintendo to do it...since they already did a remade... and that people keep repeating the same ideas, doesn't make them real...
@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..
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
If I play nso, i like it to be like the original (but i still have the wiiU version)..
And personally i never thought they would port the wiiU version, not really that much need for it, from a gaming perspective... (but it would probably sell ofcourse)
@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...
the shineen race games are always great and cheap way to start a new console, and fast rmx still looks amazing... one to just always buy, since it is small too
(what this has to do with welcome tour i don't know... two completely different value propositions)
@WaveBoy I played mario kart mainly during the travel parts of my honeymoon (many boats, trains and buses in Indonesia), so in a way I had a honeymoon phase too;)
@Goobplus ah luckily i got mine before you then... (still quite dissappointed in the ps5 though.. i only play astrobot... and got a cheap premium for a few months so played tokyo jungle.. that remade on the switch 2 would be fun)
Damn. Forgot how good the music was on SOR 1. And I guess my speakers weren’t aa good laat time I played. But now it is amazing (als played the 3ds 3d version yesterday but those speakers don’t do it justice)
@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..
@vanYth and Trails indeed does support them, so it;s just a question of which controller to buy, and nintendo just produced a new beautful analogue controller as well... it's purple!
@rvcolem1 interestingly enouguh to get good times on the astrobot racing levels, you need to switch them around with l1/r1, to get more speed because of instant access...
If nintendo would add it, they also whould have to make l1/r1 equal to l2/r2, .
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
@ChromaticDracula it's nice controller for sure, charging it now (it does lose it's charge quite fat if nintendo keeps dropping mega drive once a moon it is always empty when a new game comes around...
guys, there is a perfect HD remaster, we don't need a new one.. nice we can play the original again, don't forget the remaster used the wiiU well.. so go buy a wiiU if you want to play it again and let nintendo focuas on new games
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
@WiltonRoots @WiltonRoots although i heard on gvg that there were some loading times .. wonder how compressed it will be .... and hopelijk that file size will grow very fast ....new games...
(on my wiiU i have about 50 gc games and 50 wiigames on an 128 gb sd)
Not sure if I think gamecube really needs a crt filter ( that gen was the first when hd was alive, wasn;t it, they look amazing on my wiiU), but still a nice option... and good that they keep developing their other apps..
The article should cover probably that import tariffs might have something to do with it... better tot incorporate them now than having to up your price...
like they said on gvg.. it was a direct for the weirdo's with tomodachi life and rhyth heaven feaver coming back, and two unexpected but welcome ps-ports..
