A shitty post? This calls for a dance of deduction.

At that point they'd just make a new game, which is exactly what they seem to be doing:

So like 2 weeks ago I posted that I was going to get a set of Joy Cons for my wife, and then the Hyperkin Pupper controller. My wife likes dogs and it was essentially free after eBay's 15% off coupon I used. They asked for my impression on the holder since it angled the joycons inwards.



I played last night with this to test it out. I used Mario Odyssey's Darker Side (the extra long challenge map) to test it out. That drat level took me 3 days to finally beat, and last night I beat it on the second try with this controller (the drat section with the respawning spiky on the moving platform killed me the first time). I wouldn't say it makes me better, just that I learned how to beat each section.

Overall, the controller is fine. I don't really notice any difference in the controller when I'm holding it. It didn't strike me as more or less comfortable to have the Joy Cons angled inwards. Buttons were as easy as every to hit, no problem with the joysticks or the shoulder buttons.

The dog face stickers are lame. When one is on, you can't even see the tongue!

The principle being "a new game can be created for the Nintendo Switch"? Yes, yes that is absolutely possible.

Can MHW be brought over to the Switch? No, absolutely not.

You gotta think that Capcom must have torn out their hair exploring every possible option to get Monster Hunter World on Switch before coming to the conclusion that they couldn't. At least you get a nice enough consolation prize with Generations Ultimate.

Specifically it says World's multiplayer would be impossible on the Switch, which leaves little hope for a port.

Edit: Unless in this case マルチ is short hand for multiplatform instead of multiplayer, but that would be a new one for me. Possible though. In that case it's just more generally "the switch can't handle it"

It absolutely could, because Monster Hunter World works on this thing. Imagine if they'd bothered to optimize it, instead of making a game that stutters on a PS4 Pro and an Xbox One X in Performance Mode.

In portable mode the game is basically taking the "console mode" version of the game and down-scaling it.

I don't normally call developers lazy, but it's pretty loving lazy.

One of the highlight of the threads is the armchair developer commentary.

Obviously Capcom is just lazy and doesn't want to port the best selling game in the history of their company. Those comments from the developers who actually created the game, saying the Switch lacks the power necessary to handle the game is just an excuse because they don't want to lower the graphics or do some other totally easy thing to just make it work. :allears:

e: and MHW runs at 504p in that video (on an $800 novelty item). Yeah I'm sure Nintendo and Capcom would both be happy with gutting the thing to sub-HD graphic quality while still potentially having problems with the world simulation.

The PC version does some pretty wacky poo poo that results in poor performance on a lot of machines so it's probably fair to be skeptical when they say something is impossible

Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition renders the game in 1080p in both docked and handheld mode so text looks super-tiny in handheld mode, unlike Fire Emblem Warriors.

Chalk it up to the original HW being a Wii U game compared to FEW which was made with the Switch in mind.

To be fair, gutting the thing to a ridiculous resolution is basically what the people making the Wolfenstein II comparisons are asking for, since that game only wishes it could hit 504p consistently.

Came to complain that I just got my first crash in Gungeon as I was going to the next floor with some nice drops (only the second, but I haven't even gotten father than that yet) but I booted it up again and it had saved my progress. Nice work!

Going through the same thing I did when I first got my Switch and it became a $300 Stardew/Darkest machine instead of Mario and Zelda; now it's all Gungeon instead of Octopath.
