Have the 1st version of the 8bitdo controller. switching between the switch and android is a true pain. It also cannot power up the switch, so I ultimately got a original pro controller and use the 8bitdo only for android and win.
Personally I do find it a bad habit not to finish a story focused single player game. There were stats a few years ago showing how many people never finished uncharted's campaign and back then many publishers interpreted that as a lack of interest in SP games. If you don't complete Doom or hallow knight... who cares, but follow through with a great story driven game.
@WoomyNNYes haha, same here with Luigi's mansion 3. Though with me it's more that I played this in coop with my kids and then there interest waned once they discovered other coop switch games. I'm sure we'll get back to it someday.
People are considering the possibility because it is Nintendo we are speaking about. There are definitely more cease and desist orders going around than those 35th anniversary buttons.
Love the voiceover work and especially Patricia does a fantastic job.
One trope I actually hope will die out is the "silent protagonist" so commonplace in jrpgs. I get the idea is that the player can "project" his personality onto a plain canvas, but it does exactly the opposite and I care less about him/her/it, especially when everyone else is chatting away. Prime example being the last Dragon Quest.
Probably left out the fact that Nintendo most likely charged more for the repair than a Wii U goes for these days. So yeah, so much for the friendly neighborhood Nintendo narrative.
Corporations overrate consumers sense of nostalgia. I'm not getting any kicks with pre SNES games, even though I grew up with a NES and Game Boy. Even most PS1 and N64 games don't interest me anymore. I did consider the physical edition for the artbook and collectors value though.
@dew12333 that's a quick assumption and taken out of context.
Actually he's quite the impressive and prolific creator/developer. The quality and output of RGG studios is impressive considering the relatively low budget. And if you read about his humble beginnings quite a good hearted person.
Only would consider cloud gaming on a subscription basis with a rich catalogue. The idea of "owning" a game between digital purchase and cloud gaming is nonsensical though. Only physical games are truly owned.
All of my 4 joy cons are affected by joy con drift. I tried to get in touch with Nintendo Austria/Germany customer service, but they don't give a f***, so I had to do it myself. That means on top of my initial investment I had to invest another 25€ to get replacement analog sticks.
Everybody has the right to customise their hardware and I have a strong dislike for the gloating happening here. In my case, I'm just to lazy to mod my switch at the moment.
Man, I'm also an older gamer, but why does anybody cry out for the nes trilogy? You could play those on any other device, if it's not already part of Nintendo online! If they bundle it with the last gen trilogy it would be a nice bonus though.
Astral Chain and Fire Emblem made 2019 for me personally. To be honest, I prefer Astral Chain over Nier, though Nier is fun, but ac isn't as pretentious. Never could get into bayonetta. After playing two hours it just got too grating.
Not a snack but basically just as low on nutrients: cup noodles in ffxv, don't know if it made the cut into the lite version, but that product placement side quest was a corporate wet dream.
Aha, so they have the chance to make up for the not accessible nonsense they did on the gamecube with the GBA adapters, and f*** it up all over again!?
I was just thinking that a xenoblade game with breath of the wild like climbing and exploring mechanics would be very interesting. Just the thought of scaling a titan gets me hyped.

Re: Random: Masahiro Sakurai Calls Cyberpunk 2077 A "Dream Game"
It's going to be a dream game when fixed. Not ideal, but the naysayers should just enjoy something else instead of bashing someone's hard work.

Re: Nintendo Consoles Are Aimed At "Kids And Teens" Says Sega's Toshihiro Nagoshi
@AtlanteanMan Old fashioned jabs at Sega. Nagoshi didn't even speak badly about the all precious Nintendo.
Sega had the bad luck of always being ahead of it's time! They basically made a Switch in the 90's with the Sega Nomad.

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Character Designer Celebrates Third Anniversary With Some New Artwork
One of the few that think xb2 is way better than the original. I just thought the characters were way more endearing and it didn't drag quite as long.

Re: Soapbox: Astral Chain Was The Game Nintendo Needed Most In Its 2019 Switch Lineup

Re: Platinum Celebrates The First Anniversary Of Its Switch Exclusive Astral Chain
Such an amazing game, absolutely loved it. A sequel or at least some DLCs would be very welcome.
