As someone who went to school for networking I promise you setting up a cloud server system that can support thousands if not millions of users is no small feat. Just because it's not a port doesn't mean cloud is a lazy way out.

@RiasGremory
The original resident evil, 4, 5, 6 and Zero are on the Switch and are not cloud versions. And since you are not a porting studio and don't have intiminate knowledge in how the RE engine works on the Switch its foolish to say how easy or possible it would have been to port something over to that engine to the Switch.

@Bucket
What I'm saying is if you are going to have a Stamina system make it matter as far as the only way to recover is to wait a set amount of time, eat something or sleep. In this game you can literally enter your house for half a second and you have a full bar. So it does nothing except to mildly inconvenience you.

@Moistnado
I'm not going to argue anything with you. If you are desperate enough to have to play GameCube titles on your PC instead of simply buy a game intended for your PC I understand

@Bucket
As it stands I am confused why they have a stamina system at all. Since you can go into your house for half a second and have full stamina

@Joeynator3000
Practicing at something difficult is your own difficulty slider. Eventually it won't be as difficult

@Moistnado
Just because legal action hasn't been taken yet doesn't mean it's not illegal. I sure Bowser thought since his site was immediately taken down he was in the clear but Nintendo's lawyers were just collecting information until they had a huge case against him and he's sitting in jail now.

Again if you want to be a dirty pirate that's on you and I'm not even saying you can't. But don't try to make it seem like it's legal and I am just giving advice that I would broadcast your illegal activities on a forum that I am sure Nintendo looks at from time to time.

@Moistnado
Directly from Nintendo's legal page:
Game copiers
Game copiers are products which connect to a computer and enable users to illegally copy video game software onto any type of memory cartridge, disk or directly to the hard drive of a personal computer.

Game copiers circumvent the technological protection measures in Nintendo products and enable the user to make, play and distribute illegal copies of Nintendo video games which infringe Nintendo's intellectual property. These devices allow for the uploading and downloading of Nintendo game data or so called Read Only Memory (ROMs) to and from the Internet.

There are a number of different game copiers including R4DS, R4DS Revolution SDHC, M3DS, DS Linker, Supercard DS One, Cyclo DS Evolution, DSTT, N5, EZ , EZ Flash , Edge Card, and AceKard,

Are game copying devices illegal?
Yes. Game copiers that are used to copy video game software without authorization onto any type of memory device or the hard drive of a personal computer are illegal. They infringe copyright in computer programs in Nintendo products and infringe Nintendo trade marks. They are also circumvention devices. The manufacturing, importing or distributing of circumvention devices is prohibited under the Copyright Act

@Moistnado
Again a Nintendo game is not a computer game

@ketrac
This collector's edition comes with the game.

@ketrac
Something is wrong with your Switch, because Pokemon Brilliant Diamond worked just fine for me

@ketrac
Dreamlight Valley doesn't have microtransactions yet, you pay one fee ($29.99) get some in game things for it and get to play a game months early. Or if you want to try it at no additional cost have a PC/Xbox it's on Game Pass.

Thanks for checking out my previous posts

@outsider83
Have you played all the big releases completely? Have you made it through Luigi's Mansion 3, Astral Chain, Fire Emblem Three Houses, Kirby and the Forgotten Lands, and all the other big titles since launch of the system?

@Moistnado
Nintendo GameCube is not a computer nor are it's games considered computer games but nice try

@Moistnado
Does it? Care to share a link to the law?

@Moistnado Nintendo owns the rights to the content on that disc and finds transforming it into a different medium illegal. They also love to lawyer up so I was simply saying stating boldly on a popular Nintendo forum that you are going to commit a crime in Nintendos eyes is not wise

@wuntyme8
Dragon Ball Fighter Z digital often goes on sale with all it's DLC for dirt cheap despite being a great fighting game.

@RiasGremory
It's not laziness, it's options. You act like setting up a server and maintaining it is a cake walk and requires no effort. Just because they didn't want Resident Evil 8 to run at 540p at 20 fps from some port doesn't mean they are lazy

@invictus4000
According to your game collection on this site you don't have a very wide or varied perspective

I am curious, how many of you would buy a "Switch Pro" with up to 4k/60 visuals, 256 gb or 512 gb storage sizes (microSD upgradable) and a 1080p or 2k OLED screen for $499? But one huge catch it's a digital eShop only machine, no physical card slot

@Jokerwolf
LOL years ago I stopped caring about physical goods, I started making enough money I never needed to trade in old systems or games. I also never really hook up old systems and play older games. I'm often buying too many new games that I would never have time to go backwards. I am all digital with my movies (Vudu, Movies Anywhere, Google TV), Music (Youtube Music Premium) and my Books/Comics (Kindle and Marvel Unlimited)

@TheBigK
May I ask why? It looks dull, I would rather just listen to the soundtracks without having to press buttons

@andyg1412
Nintendo Special Edition games are the only games that actually hold or increase in value

Dragon Balls games, as of late, love their payed DLC

@Bolt_Strike
3D World implemented online play that was missing from the Wii U title. It also looked nicer and ran better. They also included Bowser's Fury which is a solid 5-6 hours of a fully new 3D Mario game that took the ideas of Odyssey and made any even larger seamless World.

Nintendo is not suffering, they are constantly the best system seller for the month or 2nd place, they also are selling software like hot cakes. If you can't find enough to play on the Switch between major releases from Nintendo that's on your shallow outlook of the Gaming Market not Nintendo's fault.

@PrinsPaddestoel
How do you pay to win a single player life sim game?

@RiasGremory
Yup and for them thankfully Microsoft has made the Xbox Series S pretty affordable and Game Pass is a wonderful thing.

Just because people live in the sticks or have faulty electrical systems I shouldn't be able to use the power of the Cloud to let me play games that otherwise wouldn't come at all to the Switch?

@Jokerwolf
All my games (330 of them) are digital, I'm all in! I love to live risky!

@Jokerwolf
And Nintendo has kept every promise they have ever made

@RiasGremory
Something people often don't take into account with the cloud versions is they run at greater quality than the Switch is even capable of. I bought the Guardians of the Galaxy cloud game out of curiosity and it ran great, looked amazing and I had no issues with it.

Two things:
I have 1 gbps internet with no data cap
I don't play undocked often but if I did I have a Samsung S22 Ultra I can hotspot if needed and my city has excellent 5G service. So I understand some people live out in the sticks or are cheap or have cheap parents and for those folks cloud games suck

@Moistnado
Probably not the smartest idea to talking about manufacturing ROMs on a site I'm sure Nintendo visits every now and then

@Jokerwolf
Because who's saying they would?

@Bolt_Strike
Mario 3D World came out less than 3 years ago on the Switch, after Mario Maker 2 is there really a need for a new 2D Mario Game? Mario Strikers, and Splatoon 3 just came out this year and they are working on finishing up Breath of the Wild 2. Please lay it on me what first party titles have been gracing the Xbox Series X/S and PS5?

@gcunit
That is correct they can assist Hal is getting a game to market but they don't directly control Hal in completed and releasing a Kirby game

@Moistnado
No

@Brady1138
As someone who has actually bought a cloud based game (Guardians of the Galaxy) Cloud games do count. They are more than playable at home with a reasonable internet connection and my phone and city I live has 5G wifi with 1 gbps speeds, so I can hotspot to my phone if I'm in a pinch on the go to play some Guardians

@Woahman
I was pretty shocked by how polished Wonderful Life looked because I have been disappointed by the lack of care given to the Harvest Moon and Stories of Seasons games as of late.

@Jokerwolf
Once the current Switch line up starts to slow down, sales wise, there will be a chance of a successor being released. Not before this happens. Nintendo literally is printing money right now

@Bolt_Strike
lacking maybe for you, but I have over 330 games on my Switch and add more every month since launch. I am having no trouble finding quality games to play. So please Nintendo don't listen to this shallow gamer you are doing just fine.

@duffmmann
I don't think that would be very good, I'm thinking more like Toys For Bob

@gaga64
So get the two pack and move on

@Greatluigi
Who cares if you can get it physically it's a MMORPG, once the servers go down so does the game and you are left with a small bit of plastic to remember better times.

@Muddy_4_Ever
I think if Sonic Team is out of gas they need to partner with a game Director and/or Studio that can have fun with the IP instead of making an oddly disjointed mess than Frontiers is most likely going to be.

I still firmly believe this will be junk but welcome being proven wrong. Over the years I have been beat up by the terrible games Sonic Team has released and left with zero faith in their abilities to execute this idea.

I think a demo before the game's release may kill my reservations about this title but I feel a demo will be like Balan Wonderland and expose how undercooked this idea is and kill sales for the game.

Rouge Legacy 2
Slime Rancher 2
Sims 4 Port
Katana Zero DLC Release Date or Katana Zero 2

I am down for anything but people need to widen their horizons a bit. Everyone is like this will be crap unless we get Mario Odyssey 2 and a new F-Zero. For those who love F-Zero so much please tell me that you have played Fast RMX?

@Would_you_kindly
Don't have enough Mario Platformers? I mean you literally can get Mario Maker 2 and have infinite Mario Platformers

@NintendoByNature
You need to deepen your pond a bit

@HammerGalladeBro
No because I'm not Japanese

The fact that 1 2 Switch is still $50 and it was a terrible launch title means don't hold your breath for them to every sell Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for $20. The games keep selling crazy numbers so they have no incentive to lower the prices.
