@TYRANACLES they are about the only company out there that make controllers with the same level of quality that Nintendo does

@daebiya yes, i like retro graphics but the default settings make it look like bad N64 game, the smaller pixel setting looks much better!

Fun but definitely not a 10, i’d knock of a couple points just based on poor camera control

Finally a Switch game that would benefit from motion controls because swinging a golf club would work! no sensor bar needed for that! umm... no motion controls?!?! that kills it for me! pass!

So that’s what they are busy working on instead of shipping real items? I’ve been trying to purchase something for months from Ikea, no shipping is available to my state and store pickups are never available because they are backed up... Covid has make IKEA useless

I read that you swing by moving the analog stick... seriously? All the games out so far that have included lame motion controls and now there is a game that would actually benefit from motion controls and they don’t include them? Lame

@X68000 no, that was reported in the 90s... but you can read details in other places on why the SNES CPU processed faster. “This means the Sega could handle around 900,000 instructions per second, maximum. The SNES could compute around 1.7 Million instructions per second, despite it’s lower clock speed.”

I have a Genesis, I don’t have a real SNES anymore, just the mini, so o do appreciate Genesis games but let’s be real here. SNES games are always better than the Genesis versions

Genesis had a memory bottleneck, back when Sega was claiming “blast processing”, Nintendo paid a third party company to do testing and the SNES processed information 88% faster regardless of the Genesis CPU

@zool a Switch is a Switch, dockable or not. Do you think that other companies would count them separately? When Apple mentions the total sales of the iPhone 8 they are counting the Pro models also. It’s a Switch if it plays Switch games, it’s as simple as that. It doesn’t matter what is or what isn’t attached to it

@zool what??? The Switch has outsold the NES. You are the one playing with numbers. The Gameboy came out years later, near the end of The NES... and besides, it doesn’t make any sense to bring up Gameboy, we are talking about the NES right? should we include Genesis too?

You call it politics? I am overwhelmed with the illogic in your entire post!

Hard to vote when we don’t see screenshots here

Not good enough, games like Burnout Paradise can run 60 FPS with an entire city being rendered around you, there is no excuse for poor performance in this game

All the ports left me with a Wii U console sitting there just for Skylanders... I doubt they will ever port those due to all the physical character requirements

Burgertime is a classic but I only need a dozen or so copies of it. These other games... I don't even know what to think after reading the descriptions on some of them... definitely not classics in the making

I come across many games by accident on the eshop that are great but I completely ignored them when I read the release news on NintendoLife because the text description sucked, it would help if we could have screenshots along with the weekly release news.

Without screenshots we are left with crap descriptions like this one from last week - “you are shooting your path to find the exit and move on to the next level. Lots of monsters and nasty bosses make your work difficult.” - pretty much describes most of the games made in the past 30 years.

Another port of a game I already have, why not a Pikmin 4? I’m tired of them releasing Wii U games!

Sometimes I’m in the mood for having fun rather than being stressed out. There are a lot of games out there that will put you through a ton of frustration, some games feel more like work than fun. I have nothing to prove to anyone. If you like being stressed out then go for it, I’d rather have fun

@Heavyarms55 I agree! it’s amazing how well we can accept murder but afraid of breasts! any person can google breasts on their phone and see thousands, why are we so afraid of a game?

I wanted Crystal Chronicles until they decided to remove multiplayer, they won’t be getting my money now

@Moistnado I agree! Do whatever it takes to improve the frame rate! I’d rather play a game that looks like SNES with 30 FPS than high quality graphics with 10 FPS!

At this point we can assume that the game is not going to run well at all so why even bother with it? Poor frame rate is something that I will never accept no matter what the game is.

@sixrings that’s what I was thinking... I remember the issues with the docks scratching the screens... mine doesn’t do that, some people must be rough with the hardware

So I bought a physical copy and plug it in and it wants to download the update which took so long that it's most likely a whole new copy of the game. So now I eat up space on my SD card because the game is too broken on the cartridge. 10 years from now the used game market is going to be a nightmare, all these buggy cartridges out there and no download servers to fix things at that point. Why don't they figure out a way to have the fixes applied to the cartridge we purchase?

I seriously don’t see why this couldn’t have been the intended look. It looks completely fine to me.

I played the Switch version and the remastered PC version, when the PC version running at 1080 HD you cannot tell the difference between the two at all, the Switch port is amazing and deserves a 9! I didn’t play it handheld, only docked but I don’t see any blur at all when docked.

We get an amazing game on Switch and so many people just want to complain.

Can't get Duke Nukem today!!! It was nice when the shop games use to come out the same day as the Thursday news!

Nintendo took a huge step backwards when they got rid of the sensor bar, motion aiming sucks

I’m waiting to see if they are going to destroy the experience on the Switch like they did on PC, online Origin account required, online activations, internet connection, etc. If they do... they can keep it! It’s currently $5 on PC and on Switch it will be $50, better not be full of the same crap at that price!

it all about drifting, I’ll stick with Horizon Chase

A lot of software is digital only and when your Switch dies in 10 years Nintendo will do nothing to help you get the software back at that point, if you ever want to play that software again you will have to hack or emulate a Switch. These guys are doing us a favor in the long run, I feel better about buying digital knowing that if I lose it all I can hack it all back.

@blackknight77 yeah, it does! They seem very stingy with the games offered. I think they are betting that even though we have so many ways to play these games that they will have more value in being portable this time. I never undock my switch... well... except for maybe trying to find the cartridge slot!

By now these collections should be $2, I have so many ways to play these games, I’ve probably paid for Dig Dug fifteen times by now. These packs do not have enough in them, we need one collection with like 50 games, like the Sega Genesis Switch cart, I’m not buying all the volumes to get maybe one game per pack that I don’t already have 15 copies of.

Can all of the games be played while docked?

Hopefully they are working on improving the frame rate

Is there really a Hero edition for Switch? The Nintendo Eshop website doesn’t list that edition

But can you play it docked? nobody seems to know

I don’t know why they are making it so hard to know if it can be played docked.

That’s why the Gamecube one was the only one I’ve played, I hate the scrolling tube graphics

Second screen so it plays DS games too

Knock-on? Never heard that

I thought for sure that this would have been a complete flop, I have zero interest in this

I like the game but many levels are impossible to get 3 stars on them without using a point multiplier or other item so I find myself playing through tons of levels just to get enough bars so I can buy the item and go back for the 3 stars, that gets tedious fast!

Well, what they are trying to say is... you guys only want to do that stuff because you have issues, not because of games

Flight Simulator banned due to a plane crash, shooters banned due to a shooting, driving games banned to a car crash... nothing would surprise me anymore

Completely ridiculous price, i would rather do the HD mod for the real NES. 99% of people wouldn’t know if a NES game was running on this, a raspberry Pi or a hacked NES mini

But yet we have Switch cartridges that expose the contacts to the point where they are hard to avoid touching

VS? Like 2 people are going to be bored enough to play this!

Sure if they leave the blur out this time!

It’s the 31st and my copy still says I can’t play it yet...

I get it but the Switch has things like color graphics so why is the game
Mostly B&W and look horrible in comparison to the Wii Brain Academy?
