Re: Valve's Steam Deck Might Be The Closest We'll Get To A Switch Pro In 2021

siavm

No thanks. I am happier with my more expensive but better featured rtx gaming laptop. I don’t know how to use Linux and a sd card is not going to work for me after using these fast SSD’s I have in my laptop. Sure the two more expensive models has that but a few games will take that space away quick. I suppose if you just want something to play steam games on and your laptop is not being updated in some years this works especially if you have used Linux devices.

But if you want to be closer to current I say get a new laptop for a few hundred more with a rtx GeForce graphics card. Or a series s. That works better and you get game pass. Plus it is easier to get than series x or ps5 right now. But switch is still good. Just wish Nintendo had more games coming this year but after last year getting one polished game beats having games that need ten updates just to have stable FPS or not crash every 10 minutes.

Re: Switch OLED Upgrades Reportedly Cost Nintendo "Around $10 More Per Unit"

siavm

Technically they could made it $300 and they still would be making profit. But it is $350 and they can get away with that cause the switch is selling like crazy at its original price. This model probably would not sell well but thanks to the climate we are in it will probably sell out and stay sold out until sometime next if that.

Re: Soapbox: Is It Time For Game Rental Stores To Return?

siavm

I did like blockbuster. I got a n64 for Christmas of 98 with no games. So renting games was the only thing I could do for a few months until a birthday came up. I got to play some good games and some bad ones (Superman 64). It worked for the time but now since I am an adult I can get the games I want or wait until it comes on game pass.

And kids today have so many “free to play” games pretty sure they can wait for a birthday or until they get enough in allowance for something. So they were good times but the magic of the 90s is sadly stuck in the 90s. I do enjoy now though even with less options in certain places. But a whole lot more on your phone or other device.

Re: Anniversary: The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask Is Now 21 Years Old In Japan

siavm

I remember asking for this for Christmas but knowing I was not going to get it but somehow I did get it. I would have cherished it just for that but the stories it told were amazing. It is still close to my favorite Zelda if not still my probably my favorite. I do hope they really remake this. This and ocarina of time need modernized versions that change a few things and add mostly so gameplay features that would make them fit in with the things we are used to.

Re: Soapbox: I Never Completed Breath Of The Wild, And I Never Will

siavm

There is a sequel coming. Just finish it. That does reminds me of one thing. I have to still beat the final boss in spirit tracks. I have the save right before the last ride but somehow forgot to go back. I might have lost a few times and just played another game but I thing to finish it. That and two fire emblem games. Awakening and three houses. I am also on the last boss in those games. But to be fair with those two it is hard. No ones dead on my team and it seems the only way to win is to have someone die. And I am not having that. But I will try again.

Re: Monster Hunter Movie's Chinese Premiere Reportedly Cancelled Due To Racist Joke

siavm

China gets easily offended on things that seem less than to us. That is just the way it is. This could have just been avoided if someone did research before hand. Especially seeing how the franchise is a big one across Asia.

And also they are the biggest market for movies this year and next. So making sure it meets standards there is a bigger deal.

Re: Anniversary: The F-Zero Series Is Now 30 Years Old

siavm

The closest thing to f-zero we got now is the two courses they added to Mario kart 8 6 years ago. And then again in Mario kart 8 deluxe. You would think with the success of those games they would at least try to at least do a hd remaster with online of the GameCube one. Sadly nothing.

Re: Nintendo First Revealed The Switch Four Years Ago Today

siavm

I remember that time. I thought all the rumors were crazy. And I saw it and I was in disbelief. I knew my Wii U was not going to be supported but to replace it with a handheld console hybrid seemed crazy. Of course I love the system now and it is on the way to outselling ps4 in a year or two. That is just nuts.

I do hope Nintendo has bigger games ready for next year. It still feels like something else was coming out. But COVID 19 probably stopped whatever that would have been.

Re: Listing For Prince Of Persia Remake On Nintendo Switch Appears Online

siavm

Ubisoft is horrible when it comes to leaks, they rarely can have a surprise cause we know about games days, weeks, or months ahead of events cause someone can’t honor their NDA. You would think they would fire these people and make an example out of one but it keeps happening.

Oh well. I would love to play this series again though. I loved the trilogy. And it has been like a gen since the last new game they made.

Re: Borderlands Collection Becomes Free On Epic Games Store, One Day Before Launching On Switch

siavm

I already have the games for free. I only bought the first one back that was years ago on psn for $15 with all dlc. After that I got the first two games free on Xbox live. And this collection was free on plus some months ago. So unless you have only had Nintendo systems for all these years you may have got the borderlands games free already. This is why I am not buying borderlands 3. It will probably be free on everything next year.

But if you missed the games and have a crappy pc you can get this on switch. You should wait for a sale though. Cause like in two or three months this will be $20 or $30 on eshop.

Re: 2K Says It's Eager To Release More Games On The Nintendo Switch

siavm

Even though the part cart part download thing is weird I still like they support the system. People may crap on the basketball game for mircotransactions but it. Is mostly the same game as the other systems. Not like EA that just sticks a new number on the fifa game and release it again. That is just awful.

Re: The End Of An Era: E3 2020 Is Officially Cancelled

siavm

I never have been to E3 but seeing all the conferences and stage demos online was what I did that week. Nintendo has got us ready for this with their directs and treehouse demos. So hopefully even without the big show they can still put on something good. It does suck that people that worked that time and the city won’t get the boost it normally gets but that is a problem the whole planet is facing now. Hopefully this virus does stabilize and they can cure it but until then we are just going to have to get used to a few temporary normals.

Re: Metacritic Review-Bombers Strike Again With FIFA 20 On Switch

siavm

When the only thing you really do is change the 19 to a 20 you are just being a lazy greedy company. So I have no problem with them review bombing this. The Witcher 3 is on switch yet EA still feels no need to bring anything other than a super lazy port to the system. Bethesda brought two Doom retail games and going on four old download only games of the first few.

EA does have its time disappointing players on other systems and their loot box business is going down in flames.

Re: Soapbox: EA’s Approach To FIFA On Switch Is Typically Short-Sighted

siavm

Sims 4 sounds like the biggest no brainer to bring to the switch. And they to lazy to do that. Just keep making lazy ports of the same soccer game. When Bethesda at this point has better support for the system then them something is very wrong. Heck Microsoft has better support for the system. 5 years ago saying the last two sentences would not make any sense.

The only games I bought for them was the sims 4 for PlayStation last month and mass effect a few months earlier. And the sims would be a much better fit on switch. The game is so hard to use without a mouse or a touch screen. If they would have announced the game I would have got it on switch. But I suppose higher graphics, micro transactions, and some kind of online feature is the only thing they do nowadays.

Re: New Banjo-Kazooie Merch Fuels Fresh Speculation Over A Series Revival

siavm

Even with what Microsoft has been doing lasting banjo is not coming back to Nintendo systems. If ever. I still can’t get over that kart making thing I played on 360. I rather just keep the n64 memories than play another awful game from Xbox Rare. They are just not good at making games. The only time they are good is when they are farmed out to another developer.

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's E3 2018 Went Big On Smash Bros. But Left Us Wanting More

siavm

I don’t know what the complaints are about. They said they were focusing on smash and they did. Oh well if it is not your kind of game. It is millions others including mine. And teasing for the future was last year e3. Teasing for the future is not as good as it once was. I rather only really here about games coming out the year they are announced. It surprising and it gives you something unexpected to look forward to sooner. Than hoping a game like crackdown doesn’t get another delay. Microsoft announced that four years ago and killed all the hype with unexpected delays. Nintendo can’t be like that. Sure they did it with BOTW but it was going to be amazing cause who was making it. So I will enjoy the smash and other news and when they are ready to talk about other games I will be for that too. Plus the year is not over. Sure they don’t hold events at gamescom or tgs but they do have some kind of announcementsbat those times. So stop your whining put your head up high and believe in the company that made BOTW, Odyssey, and the ultimate smash.
