depending on the type of game i play both docked and handheld. but tbh i find handheld more engaging and play it more often ever since the wii u actually.
its just that more convenient to play a srpg right before your dozing off in bed.
but on the somewhat bigger games, where i trully want the colours to pop, i do find myself frequently popping it in the dock.
with how nintendo is planning releases i feel like this will be a late 2019 or early 2020 game, ugh the wait is unbearable
@knuckles-fajita , I feel like this game will come out, there is no reason why it shouldnt, as it runs on ue4
there is also the chance they might add the 3ds visual style as an option for the switch, so you can play in 3 different visual styles, which would be very cool to me
This article is false, the certificate is banned, not the gamecard itself,.
if you backed it up and put in a gamecard it should still work normally, as long as you have the OG gamecard inserted whilst playing, this is simply a ban towards backed up games
i expect 2 new switch games and 2 ports, i feel like thats all nintendo needs to show
we know fire emblem, pokemon, smash and yoshi are coming in the second year of this year
i feel like 2 more new games and 2 wii u ports are the max we get, i am wondering how third party support will stack up
this e3 is going to be very telling going into the future
if we dont get massive 3rd party announcements this e3 or the next following direct, we can almost for certain say 3rd party will stay semi support rather than full support
i love how people are raging when we dont know what the european or american release looks like.
having the cloud version in japan makes sense cause of the way better wifi than in europe or america.
i agree though if they do release the cloud version outside of japan, yeah wont get it, but tbh i feel like capcom might give us re7 as an eshop release.
this cloud version also brings the question, will mhw come to the switch with the same technology?
both microsoft and sony wont be able to do it, as nintendo upgraded from wii u to switch in terms of specs.
both microsoft and sony cant upgrade their current models that it would work in a switch form factor, so it would be a downgrade over its predecessor which is not a great way to start your marketing
edit: not to mention their will always be a market in the west for 4k+ gaming apart from what the switch offers
there is a difference between systems what i want personally. they have been rereleasing nes games forever.
on the virtual console side, sure i want some classics, but in this day and age, i rather have nintendo remake certain games rather than rereleasing them.
virtual console would be great, but as seen by other companies its sure to be death, except for first party games.
companies will either rerelease them now or remake them themselves, which i am completely fine with
its a way to get more money tbh. back on the 3ds save data was saved on the cartridge, not on the system.
i am sure nintendo couldve done that with the switch, but the main problem would sadly be easyier exploitation.
its a sad state of affair for now, unless nintendo redeems themselves as they did say they havnt been saying everything yet.
cloud saving is great though, especially if they do it based on network ID which would allow you to acces save data on all switches as long as you log on there.
the 2 sticking points to the service is again NES games, we dont want them, we dont need them.
for the other part is the cloudsaving behind the paywall.
both sony and microsoft give the option to backup for free, its kinda bad for nintendo to force us to get the online so we can save our progress and that doesnt even count for every game.
ugh.....
edit: dont even get me started on the atrocity that is called the switch online app.
the price is fine however, that is the only positive thing about this service, that and special (hopefully good) discounts
sometimes i am just wondering about some of the dumb things ppl say, i mean come on, there are 2 zelda teams, OFCOURSE there is to be a new zelda in development
and with botw finished that team is working on the second. people always forget that nintendo has 2 zelda and 2 mario teams
releasing an even stronger console in 2 years? people are already complaining development costs are way to high for them as is from a developer standpoint
and games getting to expensive with loot boxes, microtransactions and dlc, just wait till an even stronger console is out
development costs will rise to an insane new heights

Re: Review: Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus (Switch)
i dont get why people get pissed at the 60 dollar pricetag, it launched at ps4/ xboxone for the same price aswell.
if you guys are so stuck up on the price, just put it in your wishlist and buy it in a sale

Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want To See From Nintendo At E3 2018?

Re: Rumour: Retro Studios Is Working On A Secret Star Fox: Grand Prix Title For Switch
i feel like this is more inline with something nintendo internally would do, not let their most expensive studio work on it.
in terms of investment vs returns this may not pan out well and doest seem like nintendo would do as its higher risk than other games.
but you never know

wasnt talking about sony having free cloud saving, sony has a solution where you can save data backup via an USB.
