@Mr-Fuggles777 this is the only comment. Came in here to almost post the same thing.

Good job fighting this trivial nonsense. Now where are the games? 5 years after consolidating development teams and cutting 2 concurrent systems down to one hybrid. This, while also outsourcing crucial titles to 2nd parties i.e. Metroid Prime 4 who also cannot deliver.

Nintendo is a joke anymore.

Game Pass is the only reason I've played Octopath. Always saw it on switch but never could bring myself to make the purchase. Now I enjoy it on the big screen on the series X.

"Nintendo operates in its own bubble within the gaming industry and is currently riding high and selling ridiculous numbers of systems. There's little incentive for the company to change its approach, at least at this stage."

And this is why Nintendo has never and will continue to never enjoy sustained success. For every Wii they will have a Wii U.

At this rate the game will never live up to any expectations. I also wouldn't doubt it releases closer to the end of whatever replaces the current switch.

@nhSnork switch online service is trash tier. Just because you and 8 other people on here like it, it is universally panned and for good reason.

Seriously just look across the aisle at what Microsoft is doing. They aren't even in the same stratosphere. Game pass is everything Nintendo should be doing, with their history in the industry and back log.

Speaking of Nintendo, does anyone honestly believe they are even capable of producing a new unique IP at this point? What even was their last one? Splatoon?

Love this game on my Series X, rock solid 4k60. Those undocked photos look ROUGH.

I bet it won't suffer from drift either

sounding a lot like we got Wii U 2.0 on our hands if true

@Friendly "inevitable"

I also have beach front property in Nebraska to sell you.

@HotGoomba___Rebrand well said. Playing Doom Eternal on a switch is akin to being in hell anyways.

@RustedHero i think the 8/10 final score is them sending pizza rolls to Panic Button.

Hell of an effort, but this version is what it is once you remove the nintendo glasses of bias.

@JuiceMan_V i disagree. Games like Doom Eternal do not showcase what the switch is all about. People aren't going out buying switches in droves to play games like doom eternal on it. They just aren't. Go look at the sales numbers for AAA 3rd party ports on switch. Now look at how those games sell on playstation and xbox.

Switch is what every nintendo console before it has been, a nintendo 1st party game machine. People are playing Mario, Zelda and animal crossing on it (and fortnite but that game is an anomaly and i think is being played on refrigerators and toasters too).

Plus, playing doom eternal or doom 2016 at anything less than 60fps is a cardinal sin.

This just in: switch is underpowered

Any online mode to go with that co-op? No?

@link3710 more than one game in the pipeline at a time? When was the last time Retro even put out a game, period?

@Rayquaza2510 "if you have a gaming PC or any other non Nintendo console you should get the game on those instead."

This is good advice in general. You can always bet the Nintendo version of a given game is the most compromised and issue prone.

Oh lest we forget how erratic the frame rate was in breath of the wild.

I dunno, maybe the switch is woefully underpowered and should have had a successor by now, given its mobile roots.

He is correct. What people need to realize is that the entire reason the switch is as popular as it is, aside from breath of the wild, is due to the portable nature of it.

Nintendo themselves saw this which is why we have the switch lite as well.

good grief that launch line up was bad. Switch's success is literally breath of the wild. Then riding the wave of fortnite and uptick with animal crossing.

What do they even have planned for the successor? Is a Wii U part 2 on the horizon? Could be.

Better hope Metroid Prime 4 releases by the end of the switch 2's lifetime. Silver lining is it will probably still debut before doom eternal gets ported.

@rjejr poll results actually don't make much sense to me.

37% of 103 votes bought the game at or near launch, leading that poll.... but 36% of 97 votes leading that poll claim they don't own the game?

No Doom Eternal? 🤣

Typical behavior of nintendrones, sadly. Most toxic and arrogant of any fan base.

@RasandeRose and yet if Epic announced switch exclusive Nintendo themed skins you'd be first in line

@SwitchForce gotta get outside of your Nintendo fan bubble more often. The switch, often revered and praised, is just as often paired with another main console for folks that tend to game most to every day. Gamers.

@TheFullAndy I'm not talking sales figures, but rather usage.

Huh? What iphone ever went 3+ years without a successor?

"and the circular nature of the video game hardware arena means there's the risk that the Kyoto-based veteran could fumble its next machine, just as it did with the Wii U"

Oh they will. It's important to remember that during the height of the Wii success, Iwata was quoted in an interview that they couldn't afford to rest on their laurels of the success of the Wii. Several months later, they rolled out their second biggest failure behind the Virtual Boy.

The switch and its eshop is just as trash as the wii and the wii shop was. 14 years and nothing learned.

Game Pass is the future of gaming, it's just that it's already here.

So many salty nintendo fanbois in here it's sad.

I mean it's already a thing for the original, thanks to the Wii U version

What some Nintendo fans don't seem to realize is that all the gimmicky hardware innovations is exactly why they are a niche market. This started with N64 in some way and that 3 pronged nightmare. GCN obviously slipped up because of the mini-DVD approach. Wii was a big hit but was a secondary console for gamers. Wii U's gamepad ran people off in droves. Switch again, secondary console for many gamers.

@Stocksy you must be old.

You love to see it

@charlieonholiday you'll learn. All the "new experiences" that port console is introducing you to have existed for months to years elsewhere, and for cheaper.

@spiderman0616 what ecosystem? Apple has an ecosystem. Google has an ecosystem. Amazon.

Nintendo has a game console.

"and will continue to use Nintendo Accounts"

This is actually significant, as Nintendo has changed this aspect of each console generation the last two systems.

looks over at Game Pass Ultimate

Still smdh about the omission of galaxy 2

This is amazing; I'm literally witnessing Nintendo making the same mistakes they did during the Wii's pinnacle years of success. News report after news report of record breaking achievements with an under powered yet mass-appeal console, all while they rest on their laurels (i.e. no Switch Pro).

In a few years we'll all be witnessing Wii U part 2.

Delay this game as long as necessary. Delay it until the 4K switch is out

One thing is for sure this console generation, the switch version will be the worst version.

@westman98 now ask yourself, how many of those purchases even played half of the game.

@Gravitron confusing you lately? How about the last few console generations.

Switch, much like Wii, is filled with empty purchasers. Consoles just gathering dust like in the late 2000s. They'll muck it up next gen, just like they did with Wii U.

Hey where's doom eternal

"One game in the Super Mario 3D All-Stars collection that's got some extra attention so far is Super Mario Galaxy.

Right now, it's mostly because everyone wants to know how motion controls in this game work on the Nintendo Switch across docked, tabletop and handheld play."

No. Right now, it's mostly because everyone wants to know why galaxy 2 was omitted from this compilation. Classic Nintendo.

Lolol switch can't even handle a locked 1080p wii game. Good grief just release the switch "pro" already. Knowing Nintendo it'll be a continuation of the switch lite and be entirely portable, just capable of 1080.

Hey where's doom eternal? 🤣

@Ryall you're a fool.

Anyway, this sped up nonsense looks like 200cc mode in MK8 all over again.

Hey maybe there will be a doom eternal update. Or a prime 4 update. Or a teaser of the next switch.

@NicheAbou if they're in your YT recommendations then stop watching their YT channels?

@DarkLloyd welcome to Nintendo!

@Slowdive gotta say this is a bad take. That posting actually indicates pretty much the opposite of everything you just said.

Here's a much more accurate take on the situation: https://comicbook.com/gaming/news/metroid-prime-4-nintendo-switch-lite-update/

Not surprising. Switch gamers are starved for content
