Making the welcome tour paid is completely baffling.
they really want to make a new Wii Sports... but they fail to realise the difference between Wii Sports, Nintendo Land, 1 2 switch and Welcome Tour.
Wii Sports was a pack-in Game!
I would love to really give 1,2 Switch a try, but I never will.
And good... Nintendo Land sucked
In my home, Nintendo Land is an all time great game. To this day, whenever my nieces visit, they demand to play Nintendo Land.
I'm still flabbergasted we've arrived at games costing 100€ now. Not some collector's edition, just the normal game. On a console that'll set you back 500€ on its own, not to mention the service subscriptions. Even the god damn next-gen improvements for existing games supported through backwards compat now cost a 2-digit sum. What's next, subscriptions for device features (which you already paid big money for) to work like it's a freaking BMW? It's just utter insanity, and people are still paying for all that shit.
oh boy, do I have news for you! The Nintendo Switch 2 has a C-Button on its controller which opens their new feature "Game Chat" for which a Nintendo Switch Online subscription is necessary. This means there is now a dedicated button on the controller, which will open a popup that tells you to buy their subscription!
Those backwards compat costs ain't optional either. Either payup (for each game) for super HD or don't play your existing games at all.
There's a difference between switch 2 edition (upgraded versions) and original switch 1 versions. It can run both, you don't need the upgrade (unless you want the newer features).
Do the switch 1 titles run in native (e.g. not upscaling) 1080p without paying more since that should just be a simple render change?
Games that ran at 1080p in docked mode should be able to do that on Switch 2, presumably the console could be smart enough to run the game at that resolution even in portable mode.
Otherwise, that definitely depends on the game engine and game programming. Not every game can handle arbitrary resolution changes.
Almost all Switch games are natively compatible with the Switch 2. Stop spreading fake info, it does not help making whatever case you're trying to make.
They are not natively compatible. Otherwise every switch game will run just fine on the new one, right?
Yeah, bad wording on my side. I meant they do not need upgrade packs.
I guess they created some internal translation layer (comparable to the Wine project?) to run the games.
are you serious??? what the fuck
And on top of all that, patent trolling to hamstring any competition. I'm done encouraging their nonsense with my money.
Remember their attempt at patenting relative motion? Absolutely absurd…
What's next, subscriptions for device features (which you already paid big money for) to work like it's a freaking BMW?
I mean, yes, they already announced that in the direct. The new GameChat built-in-discord thingy is only free until next March, at which point you'll need a subscription to continue using it
They will keep doing it as long as people keep buying it.
Having a lot of fun on games that cost a tiny fraction of that. I think Isonzo is the most expensive I bought in the past few years and its £40, got it in 2022.
I wish Nintendo would catch up on Nintendo Lore. When is Link going to go relax with Zelda, only for Toadsworth to exit a pipe and ask if Link has heard of the Mushroom Initiative.
We could call it Super Smash Bros. Avengers.
Nintendo is on the same level as HP for me. As in they will never get another cent from me.
hewlett packard or harry potter?
Lovecraft
Horse Power
… yes
original gameplay supported by lore
i mean pretty dang close but i think there's a slight difference between injecting people with praying mantis DNA and praying mantises creating mantis society by themselves
Sounds like two new testing opportunities. Get to it!
"Will run on your machine"
If you have a PC. Otherwise, it requires special hardware, too.
Procedes to install Linux on [INSERT CONSOLE HERE].
You have to go through a magical girl transformation first
Is unix socks not enough?
You must be the pride of [SUBJECT HOMETOWN HERE]
i REFUSE to pay 500 for the new switch, i don't even want to play any Nintendo games at this moment.
its like they're trying to make PlayStation a monopoly, or is it all apart of the plan?
idk i guess
My switch is in the closet, so no. But, if I did currently play switch games, yeah.
I dislike the pricing, but I feel like it's probably fair. I like comparing $price/hr-entertainment vs. going to the movies. I think for most games, it will still be better value. But, I can understand using other metrics. A dropout.tv subscription is only 6.99/mo and there's at least a couple hours of new stuff being added to that each month, I think.
I play my Switch now and then, and tend to dump unnecessary amounts of money towards always having the latest console, but there's been nothing shown that has tempted me to get a Switch 2. I'll wait until there's a new Zelda game and an OLED model.
