If anything I think a GamePass style service for old games is more likely. NES games will probably be provided through the Online Pass and then SNES, N64, GameCube and Wii games will have a subscription model.
From a business perspective, it just seems like what they'd do.
"will you be forced to use Nintendo Switch Online to back up your progress in the event your Nintendo Switch stops working?"
We're forced to pay for this feature no matter the console so I'm not sure why this is framed as a Nintendo specific problem. I'm personally more interested in whether I'm going to have to pay for online and pay for Pokemon Bank when it launches for Switch. I think Bank should become a part of the online service.
Yeh if we're absolutely honest the hybrid narrative is pretty much just marketing. If the dock added power to the system then I'd call it a hybrid, but right now it has all the features of a portable system while creating the illusion of being a home console/hybrid.
Having a system that's running games that on a technical level outperforms 360/PS3 games while being portable is pretty solid. I think once E3 hits we're going to see a nice variety of upcoming ...
@Shiken
Slight issue there in that we cant actually move our save data around to the SD Card...
@ZaWarudo
"Cloud saves should be free for all Switch owners considering we can't transfer save data to SD cards."
I don't believe any of the big 3 offer this feature free of charge. I think you can access your save data from the cloud but cannot upload without paying. It sucks but if MS or Sony are not off...
Are you trying to tell me that I sat on my ass and accomplished nothing?? HERESY!!!
@CP_Company
I dunno I'd much rather play Halo or Gears single player than go through The Order 1886 again. Even a lot of MS's less successful games like Sunset Overdrive or Recore were better than The Order.
For a cheap price tho I'm sure The Order 1886 is worth a play through for those that missed but full price? He'll no.
No it's not. Otherwise it was pretty bad when we were lumping the 3DS variants together.
@OB1Biker
Oh, my bad never realised everything Shu says is factual.
I don't think so. Something can only be seen as an underdog when it's shown in the context of being compared to its competition.
As soon as the Xbox One was revealed there was no doubt that the PS4 was ahead of the game. Even when Sony quietly announced online would become a paid service we saw that nothing could cause a dent to the pre-release hype.
Because it's become unnecessary seeing as they can still win the show like last year without one.
@JaguarEvolved
Except Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is not a rubbish game. If you want to debate where it would be ranked among Monolith Sorts games that's fine, but don't claim the game is on par with the shovelware.
Playing on the second hardest difficulty for first play through so it's gonna take a while.
Tricky thing imo is trying to find a mythology that sets itself apart from Norse and Greek myths and still have a rich lore to take from.
Everything that comes to mind is too similar to Norse and Greek tho like Roman or Celtic. Are there any Asian cultures that could work?
If we go to Egypt I'll start getting a big AoM vibe lol.
Lol is this going to become a selling point for the Pro soon? No squinting to read menu tips?
I'm more in favour of making sure the customer is informed than people being upset that the cover isn't as nice.
I know people won't be happy about the case but it's necessary.
It's worth a read. This article really hits home hard as to how far we've taken the nipple in gaming...
He actually might've. Some people are just able to binge through games at launch.
There was actually a point where the articles would take longer to get approved. Also not really a conspiracy because it's easily explained by just looking at how N4G has been a Sony site since mid last gen. Fewer fans of other systems means that it takes longer for articles that those people would want to read to get approved.
No conspiracy its just common sense.
Also people are directing things towards Lime's inability to admit defeat after mont...
Really hoping for Shovel Knight and Shantae!
