beautiful avatar changeWhen will gamers understand that most people play games, not talk about them?

LOL, talk about a blast from the past; I remember similar talk when the PSP released and again with the Vita.A PlayStation portable would be a huge blow to Nintendo Switch, and anyone who believes otherwise isn't taking the threat that Sony poses seriously. If Nintendo is once again an enemy of PlayStation, it will not be victorious.
Oh I didn't even notice! Seconding the avatar praise, @shoptroll!!beautiful avatar change
To be fair PSP was able to compete with the DS 1v1 until the release of the DS Lite at least that is something I guessLOL, talk about a blast from the past; I remember similar talk when the PSP released and again with the Vita.
August ST? We are here till September, we are not going anywhere.If the August ST subtitle isn’t “the low budget iterative sequel to the July ST” then I don’t know what to tell you
I mean, one of these games is a successor to one of the most popular games of all time, and is available at a budget price, and the other two are spin-offs. Switch Sports always had the potential to be a 'sleeper' hit, like Ring Fit Adventure.Damn, Nintendo Switch Sports is still number 3 on the e-shop two months later. So much for it being a failure lol. For perspective, Mario Strikers and Fire Emblem Warriors aren't even in the top 10.
Just looks like different shots of menu screens from Xenoblade tbhI don't even know what to think about this
about the fact that „economical“ frames a decision as somehow good or smart, and you try to tell people they should use this word. Those decisions might even be smart, but the products ARE low-effort. Strikers for example had less content than its predecessor, and that’s NOT because of lazy devs or something, but because of the decision to go with few characters, few stages, few modes. I won’t call that „economical“ because I can’t applaud these decisions.

Thanks, it’s my subtle annual observance that I’m glad people actually notice here (every other board I’ve done this on in the past it goes unnoticed). Y’all are good peeps Fami.Oh I didn't even notice! Seconding the avatar praise, @shoptroll!!
that’s understandable, yeah. But this line of thinking shouldn’t be followed for too long since every new release could be „economically“ reduced to maximize profit and that leads to bad products.Right.... but.... which reason is management choosing to use these Tour tracks as DLC?
a) it costs less time and money for what will still be a substantial return for the company; time is important because these devs will be working on The Next Thing sooner than later. Money is important because it's money.
or
b) Less work. Work is hard!
One of these can properly be described as "economical", the other can properly be described as "lazy"
My big want for the next BotW2 trailer is the music needs to blow me away
For whatever reason the E3 2021 trailer music didn’t really capture me. Both E3 2016 and Switch presentation trailers for BotW had amazing music
Oh I know.

I think the thing to remember regarding the Mario Kart DLC is thatthat’s understandable, yeah. But this line of thinking shouldn’t be followed for too long since every new release could be „economically“ reduced to maximize profit and that leads to bad products.
Koizumi reading the Direct script from the teleprompter and casually says out loud to the filming crew: so that was another Direct without EPD Tokyo game? Oh man, they really think my team is doing nothing. Fuck
Source: https://www.eurogamer.net/crisis-co...s-to-run-at-120fps-on-pc-and-60fps-on-consoleThat's according to producer Mariko Sato, who told IGN (via NME) that the remaster will be "visually aligned and up to the standards of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake", meaning it should run at 120fps on PC, and 60fps on PS5 and Xbox Series X.
As for Nintendo Switch? Sato reportedly didn't expand on that, only saying that there would be “differences” in the resolution and FPS on Nintendo's handheld system.

All the "Yeah!"s to this. I don't even work in games programming but having worked as a developer for various companies shed a ton of insight into why and how things happen with coprorate and collaborative products.it’s very clear to me who has and who has not worked in a job where you’re collaborating on a creative project by how they talk about game development efforts/budgets etc
I don't even know what to think about this
I agree, but regardless, that would still have nothing to do with the actual developers making the game.that’s understandable, yeah. But this line of thinking shouldn’t be followed for too long since every new release could be „economically“ reduced to maximize profit and that leads to bad products.
We ain't getting a first party direct are we?I think a Pokemon Presents this week could make sense, I’m starting to become Team August
Please. I need more info on Scarlet and Violet.I think a Pokemon Presents this week could make sense, I’m starting to become Team August
I think Nintendo will combine both June 1st party Direct + Sept general Direct in one huge Direct in which they will also announce the new console in AugustWe ain't getting a first party direct are we?
Nothing has changed.We ain't getting a first party direct are we?
It's highly debatable if any of these could mount a serious threat to Switch.both of these are also threats.
I've been seeing a lot of ads for cloud gaming recently, and these services have been pitched similarly to the Switch: if you're playing on a portable screen, you can seamlessly switch to a TV.
Nah. We might get a hardware thing, but not a straight up first party showcase.We ain't getting a first party direct are we?
A bit suspicious, isn’t it? Hehe I know it’s probably nothing, have a nice vacation Nate.
As someone who's studied the BotW soundtrack obsessively since E3 2016 (and built a nice lil' YouTube channel around it cough link in signature cough) I agree. There are some nice new elements, like the increased orchestra size, use of African percussion and reworked BotW motifs, but the trailer as a whole sounds overly truncated and the music suffers as a result. I get the feeling that a large chunk of music is missing between the key changes for example, and there's obviously a missing buildup before the brass starts.My big want for the next BotW2 trailer is the music needs to blow me away

Let's take a moment to appreciate this chap going to bat for markomaro of all people
Would be nice if we didn't take stuff out of context

The only two complaints that I've felt are valid areI would more understand the MK8 DLC complaints if the pricing wasn’t as good as it was.
Nintendo isn’t trying to paint these as on par with the base MK8 ones, it’s clear by the pricing model (both the low price to purchase it AND it being included on NSO).
it’s quite literally the cherry on top MK8DX which was already an enhanced content stuffed definitive edition.
Oh, I see! I watch very little on YouTube these days so hadn't come across that. It'll certainly be interesting to see where the 3 games stand when Nintendo give official figures next month.Oh I know. I was more or less referring to the people on youtube that were calling it a failure because it wasn't talked about as much as other games.

Expect for half the tracks in the whole game to not have anti-gravity once it fully releases.The only two complaints that I've felt are valid are
A) MK8D's anti gravity gimmick wasn't used at all in the first wave, making those two cups the only one in the game to not have anti-gravity.
B) That it's only course dlc and not new characters or costumes, since they're pulling courses from tour it'd be cool if they also pulled some of the tour exclusive characters like Funky Kong or Pauline.
Now I'm personally fine with Nintendo prioritizing pure quantity of tracks over things like characters or other features, and point A might not remain true over the remaining 40 tracks. In general though the criticism of the booster pass has always felt overblown.
