Some good audio does not make up for a game that is subpar in the other areas. The other six he mentioned all excel at what they are trying to do. But XBX sucks as a RPG. So it fails and is bad.

WiiU had Pikmin 3 and Wonderful 101.
Those 2 alone justified the console's existence.

Hey, are you listening to a word I'm saying?
XBX would have been so much better if they had just had goddamn audio controls so the music didn't drown out cutscene dialog.

I think I'm gonna wait a while on the switch. The price feels a touch steep and I have my doubts about nintendo's 1st party games going forward. Odyssey looks great but I think I can definitely wait on that. I'm honestly more interested in whatever the new FE game they have is (Not warriors, which also looks fun, but the full fledged mainline sequel).

I've got years worth of Wii Games for my Wii U i never played to occupy me and BOTW coming on the WiiU.

All that being said, did nintendo, or anyone else, say anything that might imply that the new SMT game is a Switch exclusive? I get the feeling that it wont be but that'd make me buy the system.


And since this is the defacto nintendo thread, just wanted to say that I'm playing the Prime Trilogy for the first time and I can sorta see what all the excitement is about. I cant imagine playing it with standard controls and I really love how the wiimote/nunchuck feels. I've barely made a dent in the first one so I'm excited to see how the others pan out.

The Atlus site says it has a '3DS' game and a 'HD Project' so it leads me to believe the Switch game is not an exclusive.

cool that's sort of what I thought.

As much as I like what the switch offers, I'm leaning towards following up my Wii U with a PS4 since I really want to play FFXV and Persona 5 and it doesn't look like either are coming to the Switch (not even sure if the switch could play FFXV)


edit edit:

Is there any word on them getting rid of the Wii Shop anytime soon?

There are a few VC games on there that I wouldn't mind grabbing but I'd rather pace it out.

Me too but I haven't bought a card in quite a while and if you aren't OK with me using my cards from the 90s you can gently caress right off. Unrestricted legacy clusterfuck forever.

Ah well, not buying a cc for one game, especially as I went in on the 3ds version.

As much as I would like to keep some games with me on the switch, I'm pretty tired of buying the same things all the time. I'm way more interested in new games, especially at the rate nintendo reduces prices.

Well they sure as hell can't afford another SFV fiasco, and when they say "story mode" it had better be on par with what Netherrealm brings to the table.

I don't. Capcom have always been poo poo at story at the best of times, add in a sprawling multicharacter narrative that also talks about diffwrent dimensions and you're just gonna get a WiiU. Like, just a ladder fight for each character with a beginning and an end is what we should be hoping for.

I give them a pass with SFV because that was their first attempt at it. If Marvel: Infinite is more of the same, then i'll probably jump on the same boat you're on.

lol if you think the switch will ever have super mario 3d world before the heat death of the universe, assuming it will ever be ported

they haven't even announced ports of their best selling wii u titles like mario maker or smash

they even managed to gently caress up mk8 switch release, literally the laziest port, by not making it in time for launch

First attempt? Where have you been?

Capcom have given us cyborg wife arms, amnesiac clone daughters, midget napoleon zombie cult leaders, boulder punching, a secret government bio weapon destroying the world 4 separate times and every time it's treated as a twist, a mayor who punches crime til it goes away, naked cat girl nuns, and filling someone's dark soul with LIGHT!

This doesn't make sense though. People who don't have MK8 or who want to buy it again will do so regardless, just not at the same time as BOTW. They needed anything they could find to bolster the release lineup and god knows there's enough shovelware already.

So you are saying the opposite? Because the yen is weak, the US dollar should buy LESS in Japan?

Or are you saying they should cost the same in each location, regardless of the value of the currency? I could see your point there, thought that is not what is happening.

But if you are saying the US dollar should have less buying power then I think you are confused.

I was saying the weak yen means it's cheaper to make so it shouldn't cost 70 loving dollars american to buy in the us. I misread your post though, I thought you were saying the msrp was high because of the weak yen. My bad
