Switch 2 launch title, calling it.

Time limited? The hell are you doing, Nintendo? Perhaps they're going to bring the old Mario 3D games to Nintendo Online, which also sucks, because it's a rental service. Why can't they just make a proper Virtual Console, like the Wii had?

@Agramonte "And buy what handheld exactly?... " GPD Win Max.

Probably Stories 2. Also, sounds like Capcom have either given up on putting mature franchises on Switch or treating the console as a dumping ground for kiddy franchises.

Why are Nintendo getting out of the mobile business again? There's clearly tons of money to be made here.

"Eiyuden Chronicle is being developed for PC, with console versions unlocked through crowdfunding stretch goals."

Nice, will definitely be getting this. Suikoden 2 is one of my all time favourite JRPG's.

I hope this JSR rip-off is actually good, unlike Hover.

@HotGoomba But it's a very frame-specific online game. It plays like a Devil May Cry, where timing your attacks/block/dodge/counter, etc, plays a bigger part than typical mmo's.

@Sunsy Try downloading the game, via Arks Layer: http://na.arks-layer.com/setup.html

@HotGoomba And it's cloud based! Ohhhhhh....

I'll wait and see. I loved TYD and actually quite enjoyed Super Paper Mario on Wii. But it's 2020, and the series needs to evolve. These games still feel like N64/GameCube era games; they need voice acting, for starters.

@BrintaPap PC... Mouse and Keyboard 😋

Was the Bakugan game unfinished, or is it intentionally supposed to look that way? It looked ugly and weird, like they hadn't applied textures to half the world. And the character design looked like Western poor man's Anime. Would have made more sense for a Japanese developer, like a CyberConnect2, to make this game.

Vote with your wallet. Don't buy it until it's patched. This game should not have been sold in this state, and we need to let them know.

Abysmal frame rate and dated quest design does not equal a 7/10, to me.

Rabbids Go Home on Wii did it better.

Like others have said, not a fan of this style of phone clamp; I much prefer the telescopic style, like the iPega Red Knight, which is the one I use:

@mesome713 $3k PC? A $300 PC, using a Ryzen APU, without even a dedicated GPU, can play Crysis 1 at 1080p/40fps or 720p/60fps.

Unless you can show me where the back of Brawl's box says "For Wii U" or "For 3DS", this article is kinda dumb.

@TheFullAndy I might be wrong, but if I had to guess: I don't think Sony ever had an exclusive deal with Atlus; Atlus probably felt the series was too niche, so they played it safe and made it exclusive to PlayStation, which was generally always the platform leader.

But after the massive success of Persona 4 Golden on Steam, it's pretty obvious that there's way more money to be made from making the series multiplatform. Persona 5 Royal is most likely getting a PC port next, and if I had to guess, they will probably announce a Switch port around the same time.

@ChromaticDracula If you have an Android device or Raspberry Pi, just download the Steam Link app, and you can stream your PC to it. Then, in Steam, add a Library shortcut, and add Super Mario 64 PC, so that it appears in your Steam Library.

@Shambo "People who didn't have the money to build a monster PC, and never played it?"

The game came out on PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2011, though; it hasn't been a PC exclusive for the past decade.

@nessisonett It's a AAA blockbuster, so it was always going to sell well at launch. However, sales are dropping off rapidly in the second week and stores are refusing to offer refunds; so it might not have lasting legs.

And I think it will be a "go woke, go broke" situation for them in the long run. Most people weren't aware that ND were woke before this game, but now that they know, I think it will affect future sales of their games. But it's not so much the wokeness that will lose sales for them, but fear that they will subvert expectations in controversial ways again.

For anyone wondering, this is the Wii U version, running on PC via Cemu emulator.

More Xbox 360 ports sold at full price?

They're playing hipster "hidden gems", like: Fragile Dreams: Farewell ruins of the Moon, Kororinpa, Another Code: R and Zack and Wiki.

I gasped, then said, "oh, it's another rhythm game I don't care about... next".

Physical media for games is dying and on the way out, so I think they should eventually make an all digital console.

I think we're reaching the end of big AAA multiplats being technically possible on Switch. It's time for a hardware upgrade, but that's 3 years away at the earliest.

If it's already a challenge for them to port PS4 games to Switch, it doesn't bode well for porting PS5 games.

Nope, voice chat should be done natively on the console. Literally no one wants to operate their phone and Switch at the same time; it's clunky and stupid.

You'd think fans of Nintendo on this site would be in support of Nintendo having less censorship on their console than Sony, even if they don't like the games. But no, they still have to complain and scare developers away from the platform.

This comment section:

"Aw, what cute little trees!"

At this point, the next step for them is VR.

Unlike Nintendo games made in Dreams on PS4, Nintendo can't really put a stop to a PC game once it's been released on the Internet. It will just be kept alive through torrents and other sites. AM2R, for example, is still easily downloadable to this day.

@RPGamer Well I'm probably twice your age, with a fulltime job and a family, and still make time to game. And I'll always be a gamer, regardless of the media it comes on.

Hell, most of the Nintendo YouTubers you probably watch are largely in their 30's, and started out on NES and are still gaming to this day. No offense, but you sound like you're kinda parroting these 30+ year olds and their rhetoric about physical media, rather than embracing the digital generation of gaming you're actually from.

And ironically, as you get older and start a family, you do start to appreciate digital more, for the convenience factors.

@RPGamer Because all you care about is the format the game comes on, not the actual game itself.

And I don't care for streaming either, but you said "when physical gaming stops happening..." implying you wouldn't even play games digitally, either. Consoles are going to be digital-only in 7+ years time, so you might as well quit the hobby now.

@RPGamer If that's the end of gaming for you, then you were never a real gamer in the first place.

HAC = Handheld Console; HDH = Handheld, perhaps.

The guy in the video kinda creeps me out.

@RPGamer Switch definitely wasn't "original", since the Aikun Morphus x300, Razer Edge Pro, Wikipad and a few others basically did the same "Switch" idea before the Switch.

The basic concept of the Switch is that it's a tablet, which you can connect detachable controllers to the sides of, and turn in to a handheld gaming console. Then, the "Switch" part is that you can also dock the tablet, detach the controllers, and use it on a TV screen for a console experience. Literally, those 3 aforementioned devices did just that; you could detach the side controllers from each of those devices, dock the tablet part to a TV and use each device like a console and also as a handheld.

And conceptually, all of that, was completely different to how the Wii U functioned; the Wii U GamePad didn't contain the actual specs of the system; ostensibly the Wii U was a rip off of Sony's PSP to PS3 remote play.

If Sony made a Mario game, this is what he'd look like...

@hadrian No, not really. I played both the 360 and PC version of Crysis; there were a few very subtle differences, but they were basically the same game, albeit the 360 version ran on a newer engine.

Why are people forgetting that Crysis 1 came out on PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2011?

E.g. @Mountain_Man "Remember when Crysis could only be played on highest of high-end PCs? Now it's coming to the Nintendo Switch. Pretty crazy."

If it's using the X1+, then it won't be much faster than the current Switch - if emulation comparison between the 2015 Shield TV and 2019 Shield TV Pro is anything to go by. It certainly won't be the upgrade that people like SuperMetalDave64 are fantasizing about.

They don't allow AO games on console, so I'm guessing this will either be censored, or it's been re-rated as an M, as it was never really an AO game in the first place.

This is probably why most Chinese gamers stick to PC, where at least it's easier to bypass these restrictions.

What the controller reminds me of:

@retro_player_77 True, the best thing they should do is, just make a new franchise, that's a spiritual successor and takes the same concepts, but make it multiplatform this time.
