im not sure if sony leaving the portable market has much to do with nintendo. The psp definitely had some success, but nintendos more or less always had a stronghold over the portable scene.
Im guessing nintendo will just eat the cost on the majority of switch games. i cant imagine madden 18 or the skyrim will cost more than $60, but i suppose well just have to wait to see more retail games released.
I think this is one of the worst comments I've ever read on this site. Not because I don't like what you said, but because you didn't even finish half the sentence you were pretending to quote. Then went on a long tangent about how the quote you purposely gutted/misused made you feel.
"match up" is a tricky term. In terms of a technical capacity the switch is obviously far behind its competition. But what makes the switch seem special to me is what it has to offer in terms of its own capabilities. I love the idea of the switch, and though some things havent panned out exactly as we hoped, im excited about its future.
What the switch has been for the past week has kept me happy as a gamer thus far. I think the product that it has the potential ...
nintendo switch hardware is not expensive. the utter failure that is ps vita launched at $249, as well as the 3ds. if those 2 HANDHELDS are (more or less) justified at their price point, how much more or less do you want the switch to cost?
The switch "batterie" lasts 4 hours minimum, which is plenty. if you live a life where you spend more than 4 hours outside the home, yet youre still free to game, you have way too much free time on your hands. I wouldnt say my schedule i...
wow, sounds like a real gaming holocaust.
The vast majority of switch users are doing well with their systems and yeah, 3 days into it, things are going smoothly for the most part. I dont think ANYONE is actually ready to call it a success.
no one is making excuses for or justifying nintendo making switches with dead pixels. were just saying that dead pixels showing up on a few switches (out of hundreds of thousands sold), isnt unheard of.
That being said, Nintendos response to a problem those (few) switch users are having is unbelievable. I would sincerely hope that they would have more to say to those unfortunate users than "hey tough luck it happens to LCD's bro". Lets hope once the someone level-heade...
got goosebumps at work from this.
YES.
when i bought a ps4 the launch lineup was so unbelievably weak that the 2 games i ended up buying were COD Ghosts and Killzone shadow Fall. Meanwhile, Ryse: Son of Rome was busy flying off store shelves for xbox one.
The Switch looked great no matter how many times n4g users hit the disagree button. No one can say for certain if it'll be a success and thats fine, but i wouldnt be surprised if 6 months from now this website is littered with articles about the switches success. And...
no. no it isnt.
you wouldnt call the wii u a "portable" just because you can play it away from a tv. the switch is essentially the concept nintendo had with the wii u, perfected with an increased amount of portability.
because it gives developers the awful idea that they can charge top dollar for games that virtually no one would want anymore. the only real reason those games end up being bought is because they sit on the shelf in front of a consumer, marketed as "the full package", which peaks a lot of peoples interest.
I remember picking up devil may cry 4 FOR LESS THAN $5 USED, OVER 5 YEARS AGO.
I also bought sleeping dogs on steam for like...$6 maybe? around 2 years...
I have a feeling it's history retold will have a dreamcast feel to it. A console with some really underappreciated gems that unfortunately had some technical limitations/caveats that kept the masses in the dark.
The naming will also go down as some of the worst of all time.
while i do agree the article hits an exaggeratory note, i wouldnt be surprised if nintendo had an extremely successful next few years. as much as the forums here dont seem to like it, the buzz around switch seems really positive. Ive spoken to a lot of people over the last months in casual conversation and its been nothing but excitement. i wouldnt be surprised if the switch is a hit. give it a chance.
The first 2 games i was dying to see on the ps2 classics list were SSX and Manhunt. all we need is ssx
I'll be trading in my xb1 and ps4 for a NEO and then buy the SCORPIO with money. Then I'll trade the NEO and SCORPIO in for money and buy myself a sega Saturn
With money.
Totally agree. Turok is one of those games that defined the n64 experience for me. spent A LOT of time trying to figure the game out before eventually making the inevitable trip to the library to look up a strategy guide.
oh 90's childhood.
Can't wait.
Till June.
...hopefully.
not sure why hip hop gamer has always gotten so much hate. i mean sure his article titles are hype, but he asks a lot of really interesting questions. I've always had a great time watching his interviews. hes not afraid to ask the questions that are on his mind and he does it with respect because he's a true gamer.
I'm not sure if id refer to it as a failure. It was insomiacs first game on an xbox platforms while also being a new ip. you cant expect them to have the same success with an audience of xbox gamers when theyve spent 15 years making playstation exclusives.
though i dont have any interest in it, I cant believe they dont even have blops 2 up n running at this point.
Ive honestly felt like BC is a bust for a while now because of how slow approvals actually move. feels like the games im actually interested have virtually no chance of getting on xb1.
i mean...they cant even get blops2 on at this point.
