Re: Reaction: Donkey Kong Bananza Has Instantly Become My Most Anticipated Game Of 2025

Not everyone can get a Switch 2 - the price is a limiting factor for those on budget. But if you have Steam or other GOG portable console to say you can't get a Switch 2 makes one scratch their head here aka DK scratching his head. Those excuses of waiting for other games and dissing on DK just tells you they can't see the potential of DK on Switch 2 or the Switch 2 hardware.

@JohnnyMind keep in mind that on the other hand I had to redeem the code for the preorder bonus that was included in my physical copy on the Japanese eShop!
One has to change their NSO to JPN to work but if you have NSO Cloud you have to unsubscribe to get this to work if your not a JPN NSO account to start. Once you do that you can get the Physical DLC and then start your NSO subscription again and change to your Region and if you restart your DLC will download without yourself having to change Region again.

@WOLF13 Why pay for an inferior port you can get cheaper on another system ?
Where are you getting your misinformation from?

@WOLF13 Unless you have to play handheld, there’s no reason to get these ports.
What are you smoking. If you don't know the reason - why are you even spouting here for.

@WOLF13 Put out an original new good game and it will sell.
This is Original, so not sure why Nintendo Haters are even commenting on here to start with.

Re: PSA: Spigen's Switch 2 Carry Case May Have A Potentially Console-Damaging Defect

@Anti-Matter I always wrap my handhelds with a small towel before
Good way to introduce mold and moisture to damage electronics/batteries. That's smart.

@Anti-Matter Then I wrap again my handbag with a plastic bag before I put inside my backpack.
This is why one buys a good Case Holder that has proper protections to begin with.

@Anti-Matter the plastic bag is to prevent my handbag getting wet
Another bad reason as plastic bags holds moisture to damage electronics/batteries and offer no protection.

@Anti-Matter That's how I store my handhelds before I bring to public place.
A proper carry case can do all that and be far more safe at the same time. One invest in good carry case not think a plastic bag and towel will work those are the two products one never uses to carry/protect anything electronics with batteries.

Re: Japanese Charts: Switch 2 Won't Slow Down, Surpasses 1 Million Consoles Sold

sethfranum

In terms of the Switch 1, it's still selling pretty well, shifting over 13k units this week alone. However, the PS5 (combined OG model, Pro, and Digital units) has surpassed it, selling over 15k consoles between its three SKUs.
The fact it takes three different PS5 console to best just just ONE Switch 2 in terms of sales is pretty sad here. Wasn't this suppose to be a 1:1 comparisons? So one has to use three PS5 console sets to make themselves look better? This just show desperation to bootlick Sony.

@MindfulGamer You forgot to link and left out some key info. This was a "armored semitruck" that is totally different from just semi-truck 18 wheeler hauler. One is obvious and the other is like just other semi on the road. So before you post inaccurate stories that don't match descriptions maybe you should post link to verify they match up.

Re: Nintendo Reportedly Banning Switch 2's Using MIG Cartridges

@BonzoBanana Can you imagine a situation where you are watching a downloaded torrent movie and it bricks your TV for watching it?
When has any movies been legal in torrent? If so please provide legal links to those movies your referring to here?

@BonzoBanana Switch 2 is a little worrying in how aggressive Nintendo is with software protection
That's EULA/TOS agreement you agreed to whether or not your read from start to finish to us the system. When you breach the EULA you have no case, good luck finding the money to fight them.

Re: Shuhei Yoshida Says Sony Doesn't Really Consider Nintendo As Competition

sethfranum

Sony is scared of Nintendo for reasons anyone can guess. When you try to pigeon whole a Switch console as Kid game that tells you they are afraid of Switch Console. Nintendo doesn't do that but Sony plays that game. So you have to ask what are they afraid of from Nintendo? What console people play or use isn't in the interview it's the Mindset or Closed Mindset that will never see Nintendo coming like all AAA now clamoring to come to Switch 2 after seeing CyberPunk 2077 challenge PS5 this is what scares Sony. That a underpowered (ops-overpowered Switch 2) can play with the so called "Adult" systems now they refused to admit they have healthy competition.

Re: Shuhei Yoshida Says Sony Doesn't Really Consider Nintendo As Competition

@Tempestryke Iterate means "ToneDeaf". That the Alice in Wonderland story but that's not the whole story. He clearly said Nintendo is Kids console and when they become Adult go XBox/PS system. What part of that is showing disrespect already? As pointed out from Nintendo's own age chart usage none of those went to Xbox/PS or become those console. These are imaginary figures he is using but provide nothing to backup those claims. That's the part he is "ToneDeaf" he is using corporates speak opinion as misinformation. That isn't isolated to just him it's a Sony Corp Mindset this is why they never saw Nintendo smacking them upside the head.

Re: Poll: Has Your Switch 2's Screen Got Any Nasty Scratches Yet?

sethfranum

@nmanifold I was very careful with mine and 24 hours later an inch long scratch appears right in the middle (as well as 2 little tiny scuffs).
I find this hard believe a middle scratch on the display. Scruff marks is one thing. This is one of those "story" "Trust Me" that I find hard to believe itself.

My OLED backside are free of scratches or defects from "Dock" for the many times I used it.

Re: PS5 Hit 'Stellar Blade' Is Reportedly In Consideration For The Switch 2

According to PlayForum (thanks, VGC), developer Shift Up has secured a dev kit for the Switch 2 and has begun intial work for a supposed port of the game. The team has also gifted a whole bunch of Switch 2 units to its employees.
Geezes, you think they don't have DevKits and working on them. No, they just have the DevKits because they like them. Why give Switch 2 to employee if your not expecting them to test the game on it???? Too many 2+2=5 going on here...to be just coincidence happenings.

There's no way the driver couldn't or didn't know what went down. He better get a good lawyer. This is so suspicious how it happened. This was a Inside Job he and his company obviously know the manifest when it said Nintendo what could that have been folks in those big pallets. No, he was the inside person for the job. Also those units manifest "Nintendo" knows the serial and you don't think Nintendo is watching for those to go online and Brick the system and those people contact Nintendo and the Ninja says your stupid. They are taking it to Grapvine, TX head of GameStop Coporate and your manifest tells the address and you don't know? No, he will be the scapegoat when this goes down.

@Oldstalk For Sony apparently, Nintendo is quite essential because it helps grow the industry as it targets quite often family and such, and those people (kids and parents) could end up playing on Sony consoles afterward.

There was no ill intent in this statment.

The fact he assume Nintendo gamers graduate to become PS players is a JOKE. Does he not know anything guess not. The Nintendo base doesn't graduate to PS system. This is the kinda Closed mindset that tells everyone Sony could give a oo787 about gamers in general. These are the statements that tell of Sony Internal Corp. Mindset-these are how they view Nintendo gamers. Doesn't matter if this is his opinion he worked in Sony Corp and you don't think that was their mindset?? Dude, you really need a real life PR to help your interview from putting "Foot-in-Mouth" actions.

Re: Review: Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster (Switch 2) - A Solid Refresh For A 3DS RPG Gem

@HalBailman Key cards are important because developers benefit by lower costs, which means the consumer benefits with lower prices.
Wrong..that does nothing to lower cost. They charge the same as physical prices. So tell me where the lower cost. Take Bravely default...full price "Key-Card" where's the lower price? This is about pure Greed!!!!

@HalBailman Using more expensive cards mean the eshop price would also increase because the pricing must be aligned.
Digital are suppose to be cheaper but they charge MSRP prices there's no middle man to sell Digital games so why does it cost same as Physical Full games????

@HalBailman Developers also don't need their games completed months in advance of the physical release. The whinging is now as pointless as the "drop the price" insanity.
That's totally separate from Key-Card prices and has nothing to do with Key-Card. So you buy broken buggy games and say you will keep paying for chance to play broken games and not expect finished working products.
