After all the years of Friend Codes, WiFi Connection and drip-fed classics, how can we take Switch Online seriously?
Cole Young almost made the jump from movie newcomer to game canon in Mortal Kombat 1, but a last-minute time crunch shut it down.
A rare first-party Nintendo games sale has just gone live on Amazon with around a dozen of the company's titles discounted.
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
Bingo
I saw this the other day when I turned my switch on. Absolutely ridiculous. This is where I draw the line and get off the bus. I’ve had my switch since day one. Paid for the online, as bare bones as it is, and have beat a few of the classics I loved as a kid. This price however is a slap in the damn face. I need my phone to voice chat for gods sake. I just renewed my “basic” switch online subscription and NOT for the online mind you. For the classics. I have barely, BARELY played games online because it’s that ridiculous. I love Nintendo but between this online, the audacity of the pricing, and the comfort they have in being generations behind I can’t take anymore. Will not be renewing unless some amazing changes happen in 11 months. Switch will also be my last day one Nintendo console. I’d rather get one year 4 after release and play clearance games than give them full price for half effort.
It would make more sense for Nintendo to just sell the classic games for $5-10 [maybe even less]. Also, since Nintendo doesn’t own all the IPs of the games in the expansion pack. It is reasonable to assume that some publishers could remove their titles from the service overtime.
I got 3 months free of online for the Switch I barely used it I saw the NES and SNES titles I was meh at most. I know Nintendo has to hammer out deals with publishers for classic titles. But the friend code, lack of message a friend, lack of party chat drove me away. Most of the SNES and NES games Nintendo offers you can get on the mini console versions. Sega is still milking the Genesis with games that are part of a Sega Genesis collection pack or are in the Genesis mini. Sega does have other systems besides the Genesis like, Saturn, SMS, Dreamcast, Game Gear but they stick to the Genesis. And Nintendo offering the N64 I to own some of those title they are coughing up Nintendo does have the GC and their hand held systems for libraries of games they can offer. But again it will be the same thing once the games are on there updating said libraries like you said will come to a crawl. I'll just stick to my Xbox or Playstation to play online and keep buying Nintendo made games like Metroid and games that are censored by Sony I will also put on my Switch.
A modded switch has so much potential. Retroarch runs REALLY well on it. But you're probably better off in the long term running it on a steamdeck which looks to be able to run yuzu pretty well.
