I think for a lot of games with the v1.0 that come on the physical cart, the cart becomes meaningless as a download is needed to actually play the current version. Give it a few years. Actual games on cartridges will come back into fashion.

Is this article just one big advert?

@JoeyTS So they employ the same pricing strategies as other publisher like Activision then? It's quite common to price high then offer a massive saving.

I never commented on the quality of the game. Imitation is the best form of flattery as they say. It is unlikely you will confuse RDR and G&S2, and the same goes for Last Hope and TLOU.

Maybe if Nintendo Life reviewed for some of the games on your link, people would not be duped so easily.

As to ripping of.

Personally I don't mind these sorts of games.

@Poodlestargenerica Glad someone got the point

It’s odd how a game appears on the eShop that gets labelled as a Last of Us ripoff, gets torn to pieces and ultimately forced off the store. This game turns up and we are going to “give it a chance” and scratch the red dead redemption itch. Maybe they will port gunshot city to scratch the gta itch.

Just to be clear in hand held mode the Switch is not limited to 720p. It’s called the native resolution of the actual screen. Even if the switch could render games at 4k resolution there would be no point in doing so in handheld mode.

I hope that developers going forward still ditch Unity to turn the “hard feedback” to a “hard lesson”. I will avoid any games in the future made using it. Unity does not make great games, developer do. The cost to develop a game that sells 10 copies or 10 million copies is the same.

“In case you need to catch up to speed, here's a summary of what to expect …enjoy modern comforts like revamped 4K graphics”. On the Switch? Really?

I did not plagiarise my homework. It is just heavily influenced by friends answers.

Worth keeping in mind that in Chinas courts, Apple (as in Apple Computers) had a copyright infringement case raised against them for infringement on the use of the name iMac. Apple lost.

The style of BotW was heavily ripped off. Period.

Nice surprise. Is this a 1Mb on the game card affair? Mandatory download needed?

Hmm EA care so much about family and children safety the pretty much abandoned the Nintendo “for Kids” Switch in favour of other platforms where guns, killing, drugs are common place. At a guess a prerequisite from the EA legal department to make people thing the responsibility of the $1000 in app purchases are the parents fault.

So basically still a sub-par-experience. In summary, if you have no other way to play the games then this is a good as it will get. Retro City Rampage and Shakedown Hawaii are probably better choices if you are looking for driving around and shoot things.

Art is priceless, or so say

Shame those internet people were not as eager when it came to buying the company’s products.

A real shame only one game of cart. How hard is is to have an advanced order / crowd funded like system where people are asked to preorder the a game/game collection on the 32/64GB cartridge and only happens when the minimum Nintendo production level is met? I will be corrected but think it 2000 or 4000 copies.

Also coming out on PS4 and PS5. Seems rude not to mention this following the previous article confirming it on PC and XBox.

This article really is better suited to Push Square rather than Nintendo Life I think. If there was only a few more Xbox related articles to balance things out. Product itself is a bit redundant. Just buy yourself a cheap Android tablet running with Wi-Fi that matches your local Wi-Fi networks top speed and pair you existing PS5 joypad. Remote Play to your hearts content.

Would guess all will be emulated on the PS5/XB in-line with recent PS Plus Plus releases. A Nintendo focused release with the NES/GBC/GC MGS releases would be nice. Suspect there will be complaints when the price is announced.

I am not sure why Nintendo Life draws attention to and by consequence promotes the jailbreaking of the Nintendo Switch. Sit’s closely to the usage of ROM images of Nintendo Switch games. More bizarre is the need for a YouTube video to explain that if you increase computing performance aspects such as frame rate increase. Like Duh!

My best FIFA memory was the original “FIFA International Soccer” in the Megadrive. The use of soccer in an international context showed how much EA and FIFA really cared about football as a sport. There was one team in that game which was so bad you could score a goal from kickoff. The team was Qatar.

@Savage_Joe. CTRL+F “FIFA logo” CTRL+V “EA FC Logo”. Job done.

Really without the hardware to back things up Nintendo really should have took a step back to return to a 2D game world. It is a mystery how Nintendo saw the game and said “it looks okay to us”.

@Sambuc Yes Black Ops 2 on Wii U 2 player was a great experience especially zombies. 2 players one wii u, two separate player screens.

I have just applied for the trademark “COD Legacy Edition”.

TBH would settle for COD zombies. I hope the feature parity does not extend to the frequent multi GB updates.

Reference to “Standout developer” comes across as ass kissing really. W101 a game that was crowdfunded to bring it to current platforms and pitched as being dependant on meeting the backing goal to happen. The game shipped to retailers to be sold online and in shops before the people who actually backed it got their copy. Some backers today are still waiting for rewards platinum promised. Bayo 3 is similar to Bayo 2 and Bayo 1. Nier that’s a port. Will give them Astral Chain. One original game on a system does not a standout developer make.

@Dark_Isatari. I agree.

It’s quite an engaging experience as vertical shooters go. The levels are a bit long and the bosses are a bit uninspiring. I think it hits the “Neo Retro” mark quite well. It’s on sale just now on the eshop. I would recommend the base game and the DLC ship pack. The dramatic edition content while nice just drags out the levels which are long. The new ships essentially bring different play styles and add variety. I have noticed some micro pauses (or frame skip) in the current update but from what I can tell performance on some of the later levels has improved. These micro pauses are infrequent and do not really impact gameplay. When it comes to graphics space invaders was originally monotone so I would ignore any commentary on that front.

@Scapetti The ship formation mechanic echos W101 and astral chain so in that respect platinumy. I find it more engaging than other shooters.

Have this on physical and as games go it’s okay. Graphics on Switch are okay and the combat is engaging. Your character is a bit lethargic to begin with and things feel a little cumbersome in combat but things open up when you start levelling the characters up. The level designs while basic are an improvement on the onechanbara series. Levels are short which is a plus on the switch. Only real negative are the loading screens which thankfully when you replay a level are bypassed.

At a guess all mentioned games are looking to a avoid being cyber-mon’ed.

The video does not really provide a graphical comparison. Cannot help but feel their is some emulation footage present.

No 5G or 100Mb anywhere near me. Having played both RE2+3 on PS4/PS5, RE3 is the most replayed. I suspect quite a bit hit the cutting room floor with RE3 in terms of fetch being removed to keep the focus on action. If you have no other way to access the games, and have a good enough connection worth considering if they are on sale. I hope RE1 gets a similar remake.

I wonder how many of these “trainers” are playing this on an emulator.

To save me the time of watching it, Nintendo Life flagged a 45 minutes video with 0 minutes of Nintendo Switch related footage in it. I do hope it’s not “a port” rather a switch developed version of the game.

I am not sure the relevance of a Push Square review of the PlayStation version of a game for switch owners but I do look forward to their views on the new Pokémon game. For all the screen shots of the game I have seen there appears to to a pixel smoothing filter being applied is there an option to turn it off?

@Drb with at least 228 million joycons world wide I suspect a recall is out the question. They do fix for free and once returned covered by a year warranty. I just keep sending them back and have a spare set. Not perfect I agree. I suspect better solutions are covered by patents which Nintendo won’t pay licensing for. Drift also affects other analogue inputs. Few I imagine have close to 0.25 billion devices in the wild

@Dan420 This be the same lockdown due to a global pandemic where millions died? The timing of needing a repair was inconvenient but the was not the fault of Nintendo. Did you send your original joycons for repair?

Drift is really a non-issue. Had two joycons that drifted. Sent them to Nintendo who fixed for free. (One also had a damaged rail attachment which was also fixed for free). Believe it or not PS4 joypads also get drift, as did the red nub mouse controller sticks on Thinkpad laptops.

Mario64 was the best comparison a senior editor at Game Informer could come up with to explain. Where they involved in the development of B3?

Bad Ports and ill informed commentary. Persona 5 don’t run at 60fps on PS4 and neither does Nier Automata. Jurassic Park theorem should apply to the porting decision. Just because you could port does not mean that you should port.

@Dr_Luigi The Tourist runs at 8k.

I doubt if the picture book was an official character design produced by Nintendo, hence the licensed.

The only ground for any grievance would be a difference in remuneration between Atsuko Tanaka and Hellena Taylor. It’s not clear if Helena was asking for increased remuneration for just herself or both the Bayonetta voice actors/ actresses. I read it as the former. I do agree that providing a voice for a character involves a lot of work to do it well. As time progresses I have seen the accreditation of voice actors in game previews etc becoming more prominent. It’s fair to say it more that a just a short voice gig when it comes to headline games.

@spikeponcho I agree that it has been under rated by NL. Originally I bought this on PS4 but the frame rate and resolution caused eye bleed (eye strain) and I could not play in for any length of time. On Switch played it docked/undocked and finished the main storylines almost non stop. Graphically it’s not to far adrift from the PS4 and the switch does not seem to suffer from the frame rate dips the PS4 had.

On Stadia? Oh right, cloud gaming defined.

I am fairly sure the base PS4 runs at 30fps (not locked). This did not effect the original review scores of the PS4 release. As long as it hits 720p in handheld it will look okay. Will at it to the better on switch OLED list.

@Scarko I thought they had to be connected too.

So the video shows Nintendo Switch footage?
