Re: Nintendo Switch Console & Accessory Prices Are Going Up In The US

tabris95

Can someone explain to me how the cost of NSO could be affected in the future? My understanding is that these price increases are the result of increasing Tariffs imposed by the current US administration. However, this is on PHYSICAL products being brought into the country. How does this impact the sale of digital services such as NSO other than simply being another avenue for Nintendo to recoup their losses affected by tariffs? Genuinely curious if someone smarter than me wants to explain it to me, preferably like I'm 10 lol.

Re: A24 Bringing Elden Ring To The Big Screen With Ex Machina Director

Just wanted to point out that Alex Garland also directed Annihilation, a very underrated sci-fi horror movie starring Natalie Portman. And to bring it back to videogames for a second, he also co wrote the excellent Enslaved: Odyssey to the West. I don't think an Elden Ring movie needs to exist, but they could've certainly chosen worse directors for the job.

Re: Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance Doubles The Length Of The Original

@Adol-Bannings I mean you're not wrong. This has kinda been Atlus' MO for over a decade now and it always feels really bad when it happens to you.

As for the QoL and new features, we have: New skills for each individual demon separate from their standard move pool.
Demon fusion skills/combo skills.
The ability to talk to your demons.
40 additional demons added.
New Nahobino exclusive skills.
Under certain circumstances, players can increase the level cap of the Nahobino and demons from 99 to 150.
The speed at which players can distribute new demon skill has been changed, and now offers four alternatives: standard, double speed, max speed, or skip.
Some Miracles can be toggled ON or OFF from the status screen.
A new item will allow players to reset the Nahobino’s parameters and relocate his stats.
Players can toggle minimap rotation ON or OFF in the settings menu.
Saving can now be done anywhere in the map.
Growth items such as Gospels (EXP increase) and Incenses (stats increase,) can now be used in a batch.

Right now we don't know what if any of this is exclusive to the new Vengeance campaign, like talking to your demons or demon combo skills for example, but I think it's a safe assume all the system focused changes will be available in both the new and original campaign.

@SwitchForce This isn't "small DLC" though. The new campaign is just as long as the original with a brand new scenario, along with brand new content like 40 more demons, demon fusion skills, demons having unique passive skills, being able to talk with your demons, original cast as playable party members, increased level cap to 150, and various QoL improvements.

Re: Jim Carrey Returns As Dr. Robotnik In Sonic The Hedgehog 3 Movie

@NinjaNicky I know I saw that. Like I said, I don't blame Jim Carrey at all. He's a fantastic actor playing a role he was given. It's the decisions regarding his character from higher ups that I don't like. These producers spent money for Jim Carrey so they want 90s Jim Carrey (even if he's capable of so much more). Could you imagine if they had casted Jack Black instead? I think it would have been a MUCH better fit

Hot take, but Jim Carrey is a pretty bad Dr. Eggman (not that it's his fault at all). Eggman's personality is completely replaced with Jim Carrey's 90s energy persona, who adds absolutely nothing to the character itself. At least put him in a fat suit so Eggman can keep his visual identity. What we got is just 90s Jim Carrey with a mustache.

Re: Random: Xbox Marketing Wanted To "Avoid Calling Switch A Console"

tabris95

This actually makes perfect sense to me to be honest. This is when they were buying up studios in order to attain console exclusivity. Because some of these studios already had obligations to other consoles, Microsoft wanted to make things as clear as possible that consumers would need an Xbox for future titles from these studios.

However, because of their past relationship with Nintendo being pretty undefined, they wanted to make them an exception while still staying true to their marketing image. "These games are Xbox console exclusive" "But Ori and The Blind Forest came to Switch and you said that was a console exclusive!" "That's because Switch is a portable gaming device, not a console. Completely different."
