unless you're talking about something port-specific this isn't even remotely true
Mike Rubits confirmed they re-recorded the soundtrack from a SC-55 after the initial Switch release, so the updated soundtrack went out in an update. The problem is that you can't remove assets from a base package on the Switch, so both copies of the soundtrack are installed but only the updated one is used.

The "isDoom2" flag is a bit of a joke. Maybe Doom (1993) includes (slightly updated version of) doom.wad while Doom II includes (slightly updated version of) doom2.wad, instead of both games containing both. The actual wads are miniscule relative to the rest of the download so that's not entirely relevant. The executable has always been the same between Doom and Doom II, or at least compiled from the same source tree with game-specific engine details determined by the IWAD present. So the Doom-engine-ported-to-Unity bits are identical between the two games. That's why both can play Plutonia and TNT because they're fully-separate IWADs from the executable's perspective including the game-specific logic.

Seriously, you can tell EA hasn't bothered to do research or they'd know that the arcade/sim diving genre is basically untapped and open for a compelling enough product on the system.

The only question EA asks is "will it bring in as much money as Fifa?". If not, the idea is swept to the side. Everyone knows the arcade racer genre needs a comeback, but how much money will it bring?

I wasn't kidding about The Urbz.

Like I know the Switch could never run Anthem. And they'd probably gently caress up putting the Mass Effect Trilogy on it without actually getting someone to make sure they don't gently caress up porting it.

But they CAN release a compilation of all those weird spin-off console and handheld Sims games from like fifteen years ago.

I don't think I could stop myself from buying all the Mass Effects again if they put it out in one convenient package unless they decided to keep the DLCs separate so that it's all over $100. Dragon Age, Jade Empire, and Plants Vs. Zombies might be fun to play again too. Rip in hell Popcap and Bioware.

I heard Fallen Order is alright, but it's not gonna be within my price range for another year or two.

i think it's just the way they shot those pictures that makes it look kinda weird (the lighting and palette of surroundings), it took me a minute to realize that the sand color wasn't a pale pink

I often get pink and purple confused with one another, but that's more of a dyslexia kinda thing where I can recognize that they're two distinct colors but I forget the name of the color.

No, if I recall correctly, the response was "we have nothing to announce at this time." And then announced it later after that. Which was the bit of exact wording I was referring to in my previous post.

I really really really like the design of that AC Switch but my dark soul and brooding masculinity are telling me my all black one is better suited for me. I can't really justify buying a new Switch just for the battery alone, nut a new design? I can justify that. I just don't think this one is for me despite how much I love the series. :(

Really surprised it's not a Lite.

Count me as one of the ardent Pro deniers that finally caved this year when the supposedly super reliable WSJ guy doubled down on the report. I figured hell if it's ever gonna happen 2020 would be the time for it.

Maybe Nintendo investigated the idea and couldn't find a way to make it work.
