Since when was Mario 8 a multiplatform game

I was responding to your Zelda post, wich is a nultiplaform game. 'Mario 8' is neither multiplaform or exclusive because Nintendo hasn't annouced any game with that name. Maybe you mean Mario Kart 8 but I doubt It since its pretty distinct from Zelda.

Sounds good but talk is cheap.

Zelda was exactly the same , a game built around the Wi U but quickly ported over to the Switch and the Nintedno mugs had to pay full price for the pleasure too

 

[Team Andromeda]

But again why does in-house matter?

If Nintendo shows a new Smash Bros., Astral Chain 2, a Fire Emblem Three House sequel and the new Mario Kart at the Switch 2 event, then that would counts as something to show.

The fact those games aren't 100% in-house is irrelevant.

Apparently Nintendo made the best games, thanks for confirming otherwise

Well, no. Zelda released on both platforms at the same time. just like any other multiplatfom Game.

So.. not a port

So then you agree with me that people not directly employed by Nintendo can contribute to great games.

Glad you changed your mind.

It's rather silly that come back that, but nice try. I love the Wonderboy series but I know full well they're werent' made by SEGA so even at a young age would know about good 1st pary games

And there's some people on here that still bitch about DMC on the 360 because it wasn't made In-House by Capcom Japan

 

[yogaflame]

Nothing can beat Nintendo exclusives.

So it is either very good or the rest just sucks.

How is it silly?

You were claiming that only Nintendo employees themselves could make the best games, and then you thanked me for confirming otherwise.

If you didn't change your mind, what were you thanking me for?

There's no rule that means in-house = good and not in-house = bad. Lots of people didn't like DmC but lots of people also didn't like RE6.

Take Square Enix for example. Nier Automata, Triangle Strategy, DQVIII, The World Ends With You, Octopath Traveller 2 etc. These are still Square Enix games even though they are not in house.

All I said Is the reason I loved Nintendo back in the SNES era was because of Their In House games , which nobody could touch them on, much like Konami. I did not like either for the games they outsourced.

 

[Shaki12345]

So what it runs at 30fps?

30fps is UNPLAYABLE on modern TV's.

 

[Shaki12345]

I prefer ugly graphics over a walking cinematic simulator.

Meanwhile, PS3 graphics for open-world games

vs Switch open-world game

Still images say NOTHING about moving images.

And you're entitled to that opinion. But when it comes to "what games did Nintendo show at the Switch Jan 2017 event?", the answer is defined by what first party games were present.

All the new games they had don't become "not much to show" just because of your personal preference in the SNES era.

And if it is your opinion that Nintendo makes the best games, why did you thank me for confirming otherwise?

Yeah that makes sense. Release it on both systems at the same time but make it cheaper on the switch. Every other platform holder should be held to this standard of charity I hope.

 

[Majukun]

I know what to expect graphically from the switch 2

 

[Woopah]

Exactly. I bought God of War Ragnarok and HFW for full price so I guess that makes me a Sony mug.

Anyone who knows me, will know my issue with Nintendo has always been with the number of In-House games they make, that goes way back to the N64 days and every new generation since people say it will be different and better and it never does

Nintendo made the best In-House console games in the SNES era and only Komani came close IMO, but those days are long gone. In the SNES era not only were Ninetdno incredibly productive they were also bringing out band new IP's and trying completely new stuff, those days are also long gone.

I rather the SONY or Xbox model where if you bought it for the old system you got a free next-gen upgrade patch, but we know how much Nintendo looks to milk its fans

Which is a completely fine opinion to have, everyone has their own views.

Its just not relevant to your original claim that the Switch launch didn't have much to show. You take out the 1 port and they had 8 first party games.

8 new first party games, all of which were released that year, is a lot to show. The fact that you personally were not interested in Donkey Kong, Metroid, Kirby, Star Fox etc. back in the SNES days doesn't change that.

And you still haven't explained what you were thanking me for.

You're still confusing ports and cross gen. The Sony/Nintendo/Xbox model for cross gen games is that they cost full price at launch.

 

[Team Andromeda]

In-House wise and that was my point. And people like you may credit Nintendo for F-Zero GX I look to credit SEGA for it in the same way I don't look to credit SEGA for Guardian Heroes but Treasure and that's fine

You're still confusing ports and cross gen.

Not really when with Nintendo you'll get the exact same game on their own console. I like the Xbox and SONY way where you can buy the old version and it will work on your new console and look and run far better for free
Maybe Nintendo will do the same for Prime 4, but this is Nintendo...

5 in-house games is still a lot to show no? And you can credit multiple companies for a game. It doesn't have to be one or the other.

The games Nintendo has to show are the ones it funds and publishers, same with Sony and Microsoft. Out of curiosity, were there any events in the last 10 years where you thought a first party publisher had a lot to show. I'm trying to understand your baseline.

Beccause under your judging system, neither Sony nor Xbox has had anything to show in any year for over a decade. Is that how you feel? Beuase I don't think that is accurate.

You still need to buy the game. GoW: Ragnarok and HFW launched at full price on PS5 just like BOTW launched at full price on Switch.

Buying a new game for $60 doesn't make someone a mug.

 

[AddiF]

Well...

[Baemono]

The only thing impressive was the 120fps mode

 

[SimTourist]

The only thing impressive was the 120fps mode

It's already 60 fps on switch 1, switch 2 can run it at 120 in its sleep

 

[Ponderling]

Most anticipated game for a lot of people and the first new Prime game in almost 20 years. Should have been front and centre of the direct but instead they show off a few scenes as the 'switch 2 edition' like it's already outdated on regular switch and hasn't even fucking launched yet. Genius.

Where is the day care center personnel ??

Looks good. I don't expect much from the hardware so this is fine by me since it runs at 1080p / 120.

I'm more curious to see how it plays with the Joy-Con in mouse-mode. That could be a killer feature if implemented well... and if the Joy-Con is ergonomic enough.

Hopefully one day people will realize that the Treehouses, Xbox Extended Directs, and Sony's...(I forgot the name but insert it here), are much better formats for showing off good games than the trailer shows.

Plus Metroid, a game series about isolation and exploration, has never really been a hit-trailer type of game imo.

Yes gameplay and how the game plays in motion instead of a trailer speaks more then anything else.

Rereading all the hate with Escue theme playing is a trip though. I'm still weary of the Psychic abilities being too one note but besides that and the lack of free aim like MP3, MP4 looks great.

Is there uncompressed footage of the Switch 2 version of Metroid Prime 4?

The footage we got today during the Treehouse event should have been the time to blow me away. It looks great, and I can't wait to play it, but nothing there was "mindblowing" or "breath taking". These try hard influencers need to go.

 

[StueyDuck]

well there wasn't really a whole lot of competition.

unless 720p blurry cyberpunk was meant to do it for us.

either way I'm still not sure about this game, we keep just seeing the same footage and even the gameplay today is the exact same level/stage from the brief gameplay we have seen in trailers.

Either they are hiding something special or something really bad and that has me a bit worried. Compare that to just how much DK and MK we've already seen and they were literally just announced.

"Only $95 American dollars ... for the regular version."

Nothing about this blew anything out of the water. Retro is gonna get schooled by 3rd parties.

Looked average af, fidelity was no better than Halo 3 in 2007.
