I love my OG Switch but Dualsense, quirks and all, is the best controller I've ever used, hands down. Also, throwing drift stones from a Nintendo glass house?
Non-OLED makes no sense at launch. I'd rather have paid more and then you could launch a "lite" version later with non-OLED. Bypassing OLED makes zero sense in 2025. Especially considering you already launched an OLED on the predecessor.
I'm probably in the minority, but a little underwhelmed by what I've seen so far. It's probably fatigue from how long this game has been in the works but sort of feel like they might have been better off aiming for Switch 2, at this point.
Been trying to play XCX since it came out in March, unfortunately my mother got very sick and has been in the hospital, so gaming has been an extremely low priority, right below sleeping.
After playing Tales of Arise a couple of years back and just recently Tales of Grace F remastered, went back to find other Tales games and have been playing Tales of Berseria almost non-stop this past week. Great game. As an RPG fan, no idea how I missed out on these.
Finished Tales of Graces F Remaster. Loved it so much went back and got another Tales game I haven't played. Tales of Berseria (which interestingly doesn't show up in voting bar, but other Tales games do). Great game so far. DEVOUR!
Agreed nobody should be harassing anyone over a game but also have no idea how this stance their taking would even work. Unless they have some actual way of carrying it out, it just sounds like corporate lip speak
@ozwally Exactly. It's a clone of about 15 games using that same format. Can't imagine paying more than $5 for something like this. (Apparently it's a port and has been on mobile and other platforms since 2021. This article made almost seemed to imply, at first, that it's new and maybe edited later. It's not)
@rvcolem1 Jail? I mean they are pretty overcrowded to be throwing pirates in. Monetary judgements I can see. Would be funny, though, to ask someone who enters prison what they did and be told they played Mario for free.
Worse than Zelda, Metroid might be just the worse time between main games. I really don't understand it, one of the most sought after IPs in the world of Nintendo but they treat it like its the black plague. Remasters? How about a new mainline game? I'm not saying they have to Call of Duty 68 the thing, but yeesh.
This is one of the times I agree with the litigious actions of Nintendo. It sounds like they gave him every chance to stop and he just kept screaming "Make me!"
@Anguspuss Yeah, I'm not sure I get this modern business fad of misreading your customer base, alienating them, then blaming them. What are they teaching in business school?
@LikelySatan That's a good point but why review it professionally if you already hate the series? Would be like me reviewing Call of Duty 78, or whatever number they are on. They shouldn't choose someone like me to review something I already don't like.

@Max_the_German Yeah, the sailing didn't really do much for me. Seems to be a new trend again. (Ys and Yakuza)
