Re: Splatoon 3 'Fresh Season 2024' Brings New Weapons, Stages & Gear To The Splatlands

vio

@AlexanderDaniels Uhm, how so? The lack of a returning battle stage is disappointing and odd, but otherwise the season seems comparable to the others. You've got new PVP and Salmon Run stages, 2 new weapons, new music, the brand new thing in Splatfest and I'm assuming there's weapon variants that weren't shown in the trailer. And of course before this season drops, we've got Side Order FINALLY releasing next week. That's A LOT of content!

Re: Yes, The Nintendo Switch Showcase Really Was Seven Years Ago

vio

To think that Retro made the entire Metroid Prime trilogy in less time than 4 here.. At this point I've given up pretty much all hope it is coming to the Switch...unless Nintendo pulls a Zelda with it ala Twilight Princess and BotW where there's a Switch version that gets completely overshadowed by the version on the new console. Why do I have a feeling MP4 is going to be a launch title for the Switch successor?

Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online N64 Library With Three More Titles

@Bolt_Strike My point remains that this is one of, if not the best N64 drops there's ever been and that guy immediately hops on to drop a junk comment about how he want Star Wars games instead of being thankful for what we just got. Ridiculous.. Not to mention anyone with half a brain knows we aren't getting Star Wars games on NSO anyway.

Re: Borderlands Collection: Pandora's Box Has Been Rated For Switch

@Sisilly_G Wasn't it confirmed that the 64gig carts were a thing? My memory can be a bit hazy, but I remember reading this way back when the Switch launched. Yet here we are nearly 7 years later and not a single 64gig cart has ever appeared. It's like this mysterious thing that only exists in legend and folklore LOL.

Re: Turok 3's Remaster Has Accidentally Released Early In Select Regions

@Corvus96 But this actually verges on being a remake. New HD textures, new character models etc. Like I said, watch the Switch Up review. They include a lot of side by side comparisons with the original N64 version. Nightdive did a ton of work here! I agree the 5th generation graphics have aged poorly, but they have a certain charm to them. I love the highly detailed beautiful HD graphics we have these days as much as anyone, but I still like going back and playing these old "ugly" games I grew up with. You change them too much and you lose the nostalgic factor.

@PKDuckman I do play multiplayer, I'm saying apparently no one else does. I hopped on Turok 2 multiplayer recently BECAUSE I wanted to play some death match and was saddened to see there was no one there anymore. Frankly, isn't Rage Wars the way to go for multiplayer anyway? Being it was made just for multiplayer ala Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament. Let's petition Nightdive to remaster that with online crossplay added.

Re: Turok 3's Remaster Has Accidentally Released Early In Select Regions

@PKDuckman I remember everyone complaining that the Switch Turok 2 remaster omitted the multiplayer so Nightdive rectified it with crossplay to boot and now the servers are a ghost town. Even with crossplay, so what's that tell you? Admit it, if Turok 3 had the multiplayer you would play it a few times and then never touch it again. Good on Nightdive for cutting it out.

Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Has Been Updated To Version 3.0.0, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

@-wc- It was me whom said online OR local multiplayer(thanks for conveniently leaving that part out) is the bread & butter and no, you most definitely reckon wrong because I'm an old man in my 40s whom grew up with the SNES and owned Super Mario Kart when it was a brand new game. How bout you? I stand by my statement. It was all about local multiplayer in the early titles until online came into the picture with DS. Mario Kart is about as much a single player experience as Smash is. Like I said, I would also like more challenging CPU opponents, but not enough to rage about it on a gaming site.

@HalBailman Sure it is ridiculous, but Nintendo is a business and giant corporation whom is all about making money. I mean you could just as easily argure it is ridiculous that we got to play Mario Kart 8 online for free on the Wii U and the first couple years of the Switch and now we're forced to pay for it, but it what it is and I don't see it changing. The bots have been a pushover in every Mario Kart. This isn't something exclusive to 8.

Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Has Been Updated To Version 3.0.0, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

@HalBailman I wouldn't mind some challenge or an option to make to the bots more challenging, but I don't really have any sympathy for someone who refuses to cough up a measily 20 bucks for a year of NSO. I mean Playstation and Xbox are quite a bit more online centric than Switch and have been for years now and the gamers on those consoles lap it up and pay a lot more than $20 for it, but your friends draw the line with Nintendo? Ok.. Frankly I don't think you should even buy MK 8 unless you plan to play online or have frequent local multiplayer with it.

@romanista Nah, the proper term is 'sandbagging', but over time it got shortened to bagging. Either way, it was an incredibly lame and cheap strategy that Nintendo was very wise to nerf. Now if they could just balance the stats so we no longer have an annoying 'meta build' dominating. The Japanese try hards are the absolute worst with this crap! Through out the years I've watched them infest and completely take over online games with these builds. First it was Morton/Blue Falcon in the good ol Wii U game(RIP). Then it was everybody's favorite (LOL) Waluwiggler and now it's Yoshi/Teddy Buggy. I hope they at least do some more balance updates so we aren't now stuck with Yoshi/Teddy Buggy forever.
