Re: Talking Point: Should The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack Library Expand Faster?

siavm

It will come when it comes. No point in adding to negativity and the I have to have it now culture. I grow up with patience. And in my 30s these last two years that is what gets me through. Not going fast to something but letting it play out how it will play out. The games will come you just have to wait. Or just buy a used n64 and games from a game shop or online place that has old games. And get a crt tv and just play them. It will be way more expensive but you can play them sooner if you really need the old game fix.

Re: Nintendo Switch Just Had Its Biggest Sales Week Ever In The UK

siavm

Who would have thought switch is holding its own still against a new gen. But there are a whole bunch of factors why it is succeeding. Including low stock of new gen cause if the pandemic. But soon Nintendo will have a 100 million selling system and still be putting out games like we are in year three next year.

This is the farthest thing from the doom felt in 2017 when people still had doubts.

Re: Teardown Suggests The Switch OLED Dock Is 4K 60fps-Ready And 'Future Proof'

siavm

All the recent usb c docks are 4K ready. It uses the new usb c standards today. Stop reading into this as switch pro. The switch successor, switch 2 or whatever it is called is where these rumors are probably for. Plus thanks to last year’s record sales and Covid that system is probably a year off now. So 2023 is the year they announce it and maybe even release it.

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.
