When does Phoenix Wright get less-than-really-good? I've just completed the case with Von Karma (the vampire-looking prosecutor) and it feels great.

There's a case in Justice for All which is less-than-really-good and then there's Apollo Justice, which is less-than-really-good for most of the game, but still very much worth playing.

The biggest problem with getting games on the Wii U was the lack of middleware support, not graphical horsepower. It only supports Unity and UE3 IIRC and there were some real problems with the Unity implementation. From what we know of the Switch so far it seems like it's going to be much better in that way.

But whatever, the most important question is should I buy a 128gb microsd card for this thing, or spend the extra money for 200gb?

The price of those cards is only gonna go down, why not wait until you find yourself bumping against the limits of the meagre onboard memory? If you're not planning on getting BotW digitally then you should have some room to play with for a month or two.

It has outposts and hunting and crafting satchels like a far cry. Character driven subquests and buff potion quaffing like a witcher. Combat feels a lot like caveman vanquish actually.

Its a great game that is way more than the sum of its borrowed parts

Thanks, most of what I've seen of it was unfortunately fighting other people, which looked rather Far Cry. Glad to hear that there's a lot more going on there!

Speaking of Far Cry 3, whatever happened to Jeffrey Yohalem? He kind of dropped off the face of the earth after that insane RPS interview.

The Switch doesn't have a real web browser so if you're looking at it as a tablet/game system hybrid you are going to be disappointed. It has just enough of a web browser to log into your hotel wifi and post screenshots to Facebook and Twitter, nothing more.

A 7 isn't even that bad a score. In games in general, 7 is still in the "it's a good game" region.

Maybe from Jim a 7 is good but the industry has been working with a 6-10 range and people 's expectations have been trained accordingly.

Just another reason to trash the 1-10 scale imo.

His career is built on saying provocative things. It's why his videos are titled things like "Steam Needs To Stop Selling Toys Full Of Cum" and "Why It's Morally Okay To Pirate All Of Nintendo's Games", it's why Digital Homicide sued him, and it's why people like him.

The company which attempted to sue hundreds of Steam users over negative reviews emphatically did not sue James Nicholas Stanton because he was provocative.

Seriously, though, here's my big contrarian stance on Zelda: Ocarina of Time was great at the time but rides on nostalgia now.

Disagree emphatically. I played Ocarina 3D as my first Zelda game last year. I know they made a number of improvements to the game but it absolutely holds up, and the only N64 games I've got nostalgia for are GoldenEye and Mario Kart.
