One more reason to not buy Nintendo games and play them for free.
A good reminder to not buy the switch 2
I have a feeling that it's going to flop like the Wii U. It's nearly the same as the OG Switch and in both the looks and performance departments. 4K 120Hz support, my ass
It's got less than 10% the CUDA cores of a 4090, a GPU that can't hit 120 FPS in any modern AAA title without DLSS. The console won't even come close to hitting 120 in any title—period—not unless Nvidia creates a DLSS setting more extreme than Ultra Performance.
As always with Nintendo, It's all going to come down to the games, and given that they have been slapping a fresh coat of paint on the same games since the Wii, I doubt anyone but the most hardcore fans are going to be willing to drop $80 on them. A good chunk of the Switch's top selling games are literal re-releases from the Wii U. Tears of the Kingdom is literally the same game as BotW, even has the same map. Laziest sequel ever. It should have been a DLC.
I want this to happen so bad but my local GameStop had a line out the door to preorder and they sold out. Nintendo has these people by the balls.
I feel like I've been using this metaphor a bit too often, but: Nintendo is shitting its pants to make Pocketpair (PalWorld dev) smell. So far, the results of the litigation have been slightly bad for Pocketpair, but really bad for Nintendo - just the sheer amount of negative publicity is likely costing Nintendo more money than it could ever get from this turf war.
Nintendo, ruining peoples fun since... forever.
This. Stop buying their shit due to FOMO, and make them work for your money.
Just stop buying their shit lol
It's been a good while since I played, but I thought you rode the pals to fly? How can they have a patent on riding flying things?
Riding is unaffected, it's only hang gliding that got removed. But it makes just as little sense in that context. None of this patent trolling is justifiable, Nintendo is just using the broken Japanese patent law system to crush competition from smaller companies making better games.
Especially since that's a thing that almost every MMORPG does too.
