It does explain it. The PS4 never got the 4th of July dlc that the PC got. I’m sure the Switch will launch with all dlc and they had to shore up the PS4 too. Also they fixed performance issues on PS4

Also, for those who have never played, Broforce is, without a doubt the single best couch co-op game I have ever played. It absolutely deserves your attention if you like couch co op.

It's pretty much this. Except for Nintendo die-hards and people who bought a WiiU for Smash and nothing else, a lot of these WiiU ports are practically new to most people. I had a WiiU and Tropical Freeze was a game I was aware about on the WiiU but didn't really bother with because outside a few games I didn't really keep up with its releases.

The Wii U had a lot of really good first party games and they won't all make it to Switch. But you summer soldiers, you sunshine patriots, are at least getting Captain Toad.

Nintendo LABO kit, but you make a cardboard Virtual Boy to slot the Switch in, and the cartridge comes with the complete Virtual Boy library.

I will totally buy it again for the New Donk City level alone

I hope there's new levels for each of the new Odyssey worlds, since Captain Toad does show up in all of them

What about "Played for 8:34:03" versus "Played for around 5 hours?" Because that's what I'm bitching about. It's not accurate at all.

E: Not to mention the one on 3DS gave you how many times you had opened the game and your average playtime. All great statistics.

Also "Played for 14:55:23" would say "Played for around 10 hours" because it's not at 15 yet so.

I have played 200 hours of BOTW pretty much straight. Over four years I have played maybe 600+ hours of KSP.

How much BoI did you play?

DK needs to be 60 because it was a great game and wasn’t able to sell before it was on the Switch

It's worth $60 to anyone who didn't own a Wii U and never played it, IMO. Otherwise yeah, gently caress that. Nintendo.

Somewhere between 300 and 400 hours, but I was still in college when it came out, so that meant loooong play sessions while I neglected classes/homework. The burn-in went away after a couple of weeks (actually, I realize "burn-in" is probably the wrong term now... I suppose image retention.)

Wildtortilla posted:

I think Dark Souls will be alright. The problem with BoI's UI was it was super contrasty, was rarely not on the screen, and never, ever, ever moved. With Dark Souls, at least it disappears for a good 20 seconds at a time any time you die or teleport at a bonfire!

It took me a long while to get used to it. Once you do, you’ll see why we love it.

The key is to use sticks for broad movements and gyro for small precise adjustments. You don’t want to be swinging the console/controller around.

Rayman Legends at full price is just pure profiteering considering it's built ready to run on drat-near anything at this point.

Did you mean to make that post, or were you just pushing keys at random?
Tropical Freeze costs $10 more than when it launched on Wii U. There's a Funky tax.

I think Captain Toad+ is releasing at $40, but it wouldn't have surprised me if they raised it just because.

This excuse is bad. If an old ps3 game comes out on the ps4 I’m not like “sure I’ll spend 60 bucks because it’s cheaper than buying a ps3!”

I think “this old game shouldn’t be premium new game cost. Pass.”

But I get it. Nintendo.
