No. All of the side content is garbage.

They're not marketing it solely as a handheld, though. And they are still planning to support the 3DS for at least the next year or two.

Yeah just like they supported the GBA when the DS came out and the DS when the 3DS came out.

Yeah, SWTOR was a different studio. EA just liked to call all their studios some variation of Bioware when it was made.

Which means that Bioware's last games were DA2, ME3 and DAI, which doesn't exactly fill me with confidence about Andromeda

Probably because they were garbage.

Nintendo shouldn't stop making consoles because they are the only company who can make successful/non-garbage handhelds.

The crappy battery life. Even so, when I eventually get one since it will probably be the only way to play Pikmin 4 and obviously new Mario, this is exactly what I'll do.

The 3DS has crappy battery life too.

The battery life is also a lot better when you aren't playing something as demanding as BOTW. I'm pretty sure you can get like 7-8 hours out of it when you are playing shovel knight. That doesn't really help when BOTW is like only game on it so far though.

HD rumble is good in Fast RMX but probably the worst rumble I've ever felt in any game for Zelda.

Zelda has a lot of things that make it very clear that is was originally supposed to be a Wii U game.

The number of games that use rumble in a good way is a very low number

I've finished up the main quests of Witcher 3 + Hearts of Stone, 100 hours in, and still 200 undiscovered locations on the map :psyduck:

How long is Blood & Wine?

Most the undiscovered locations in Witcher 3 are pointless busywork with nothing of value in them. Just skip them.


I think Blood & Wine took me something like 20-30 hours.

No he just balked at the suggestion that the character looks slutty but didn't offer and evidence of explanation to the contrary

This conversation is not constructive so I don't wish to continue it. I don't see how my posts highlighting a obviously highly problematic issue in a video game could be considered "bad" other than people seem to have been offended by it.

Are you being obtuse on purpose? People were fine with you objecting to the sexualization of the characters in the game, they weren't fine with using the term "slutty" and especially not with "paedo".

How the gently caress did Nintendo spend five years making the switch and not have a Pokemon or mario game ready for release, considering the miserable failure of the WiiU. They're unbelievable.
It's not like Sony or ms where they can coast on goodwill.

Blows my mind.

They had Zelda for the release and Mario is coming for the holidays.

The Switch is the thing you buy if you wanna play Nintendo games. I don't think anyone is under the illusion that it's somehow going to pull in vast unprecedented third party support at this point.

I like the idea of the Switch getting indie support and games that were previously on the 3DS (Like monster hunter and JRPGs) while also getting all of the main line Nintendo stuff.


Policenaut posted:

It also doesn't help that the current trend is third party games are $10 more expensive on Switch than on PC/PS4/Xbox One. Games like Puyo Puyo Tetris*, Rime, and Minecraft: Story Mode.

That's probably just the new console tax. It will hopefully get better as time goes on.

Policenaut posted:

Well in Rime's case the developers said that it's far more expensive to manufacture the cartridges than it is to print Blu-ray discs. I know Puyo Puyo Tetris is $10 more because they threw in a bunch of dumb keychains but as far as I know there's no excuse as to why the Minecraft game is $10 more at retail.

Are those games only more expensive when you get a physical copy or also on the eshop?

Even Nintendo is terrified of pissing off retail, so they price everything at retail MSPR until digital sales or price degradation happen (which they don't, because Nintendo).

None of those listed games is Nintendo published though.
