Ughhh, i need a new battery to be able to play mine, & Nintendo has been out of stock for a while. I don't trust any of the shady Chinese sellers on Amazon, as I've bought many of crap phone & laptop batteries in the past, so i prefer the OEM one. So, I'm patiently waiting...😞
@locky-mavo makes me so mad that i never got to play lollipop chainsaw, & i own it. Microsoft screwed it out of backwards compatibility, & i sold my 360 to get an x1, so no way to play it .😥
I don't remember him in super street fighter 2. I remember t hawk, cammy & some other new characters from my childhood, but i guess i never used him enough to remember he was in the game...?
I hate when they remove turn based combat from series' rooted in it, & i kinda get happy when games they do this in fail, if I'm honest (but that makes me then feel bad, because i don't want delight on others' failure). Everyone thinks because FFVII Remake did it, they can do it, too (tho, i bought that on release day & refuse to play through it, once i saw it wasn't turn based at all. It's what made me learn my lesson about buying digital games from franchises I love... Until i did it again with Metroid dread & got burned again 🤣).
I don't care that much, because i have never displayed my collection of games. I also always sold games fo be able to afford new ones, so i never kept games for more than 2 generations. So, it doesn't affect me, that much. I prefer the original ones, but if the greatest hit is all that's available, it will still play the same. I always kept my games in a drawer so the cases & artwork would be in mint condition when i went to sell them.
Games always sell for the max amount publishers think they can get away with, with a few exceptions. When i see a $7.99 game, i don't bother looking into it further, because i know it will be barebones on either content, look horrendous, or there's some catch. There has never been a great game for that cheap (a game I'd be mad i missed if i never played a $7.99 or less game). A short hike was ok, but i only kept playing it because i paid for it already. I would be fine never having played it & keeping ny money, personally. These games are certainly not for me.
It's taken way too long, i don't think I'd waste my time playing a GBA game in this day & age personally. I would have bought it 10 years ago, tho, for sure.
@Ogbert agreed, that would be so many wasted resources that could go towards something all of us could like. I can't stand old looking or feeling games, personally. They have to stand out so much that it makes the "retro" aspect easy to overlook, for me.
Hopefully this doesn't do well, so they'll learn from the mistakes they made (forcing online for avatar gear, for example), & maybe invest the resources in something worthwhile next time...
@NintendoJunkie ...on top of it looks almost finished, & says it will be out at the end of this year. Really strange. Maybe they just ran out of money?
I usually don't care for games that start in Kickstarter, but this looks great. I'm definitely interested. I doubt it will come out any time soon, so i hope i remember it when it finally gets a release date.
I wouldn't spend more than 30 mins with wii sports, not into motion controls, or multiplayer games, really. That came with the console, though. This is a full retail release, i think (?), so there's no way I'd ever buy this. To each his own. A part of me wants others to have fun & I'm glad they're making something people like, but the other side of me wants it to do poorly so they'll quit wasting resources on this junk & invest in more games that i like. 😝
Here's a code for paramount+ that turns a 1 week trial into 1 month trial (in case anyone wants to watch it & can't afford to subscribe): use code WALMART30 at checkout. I can remove the link if that's not allowed, but i wanted to give credit.
@Donutman that's great. I used to use my 3ds plugged in all the time, cuz i only game at home anyways, so i didn't care, but it screwed that battery up, too, so it won't stay charged 20 r 30 mins, now, but it had a crap battery since day 1, sadly. I want to replace it, but the Nintendo store is out of stock, so I'm waiting on them to replenish. It never mattered to me before, but in the future i will make sure to treat the battery better in systems like that, in case i ever want to sell them. My phone batteries do great, because i know how to treat the batteries properly, but i just didn't think it would ever matter on those systems. It doesn't, really, but it would be nice not to be tethered to an outlet around the house sometimes, actually.
@NintendoWife Exactly. That's the kind of thing i was wondering. I've been watching for a sale, but it hasn't been any cheaper since release. That being the case, i wouldn't buy it until i know for sure those things mentioned in the review are fixed.
@Donutman wow, there's no way my launch switch lasts longer than 2.5 hours, probably. I didn't play it handheld at all for the 1st 3 yrs, tho, so it had all that time in the dock w full charge, so that probably, ruined it.
@OrtadragoonX that was my point. To claim Nintendo is a master of compression because games are up to 100GB, doesn't make sense, when none of those games would be on switch. Sony is actually doing great on compression, too, i hear, but it's still not apples to apples comparison, because Nintendo isn't compressing things in a manner we can compare to others, since all their games are much smaller due to other reasons, not necessarily compression.
@Aurumonado wow, definitely impressive. I assumed it would be levels curated that would "work" on DS, or something. Full SMG levels is pretty cool, IMO.
@Aurumonado is it unique, custom stages they built, or actual Galaxy stages? I bet they know there's no point to keep going, sadly,, since we all know what will happen eventually.
@Giancarlothomaz most games take up to 100GB? Only a few rare, huge games take 100GB, & none of those are on switch, so that's kinda misleading, IMO. The switch has nowhere close to anything that would take 100GB, because the graphics assets don't take near that much for the resolution available on switch.
@Silly_G comparing games on the same platform would be more appropriate. Just the graphics could account for a big difference in the 3ds games vs switch games.
@Isaix I've thought about it but star fox, Xenoblade Chronicles x & paper Mario color splash are the main games i still want to play. I keep holding out hope those will be ported eventually, but if not i may have to give in eventually. I would welcome a new star fox, but there's no guarantee it would be any better, & if it isn't already in development, it would take MUCH longer to come to out than a port.
Also, they may think the reason it sold horribly was the install base, & that switch install base may give it a better chance. I know they've used that rationale with other wii u games, anyways.
@Isaix if u hadn't played it u may feel different. Many of us haven't & would like to. Even w changes for switch, it would likely be far cheaper than development of a new game, in addition to faster. So, if it's guaranteed profit, it makes sense for Nintendo & players, IMO.
@Isaix star fox 64 is playable on switch, so ppl like you who prefer can go ahead. Others like me who want to play a starfox game we haven't played to death, after not owning a wii u, i hope will get to play this on switch one day.
@Isaix i would love it. I can't get immersed in old looking games, & don't subscribe to NSO. But, i would buy this game, since I didn't have a Wii U. So, i think it's worth doing, personally, because i know I'm not the only one.
@Not_Soos just go to the Nintendo Japan website & click the forgot password section (you should be able to see part if it in English if u use chrome), if u remember the email u used. Then, use the email & password on ur console to sign back in to the console.
