I tried to play Ocarina of Time on 3DS not too long ago. It was a bit painful. Haven't started Majora's Mask because I'm sure I won't like it. I liked Twilight Princess, in my defense...if that's any defense.
They say it’s fee to start and that it’ll be on mobile too. Am very wary of it.
People buy Nintendo for Nintendo games. Not a direct competitor.
idk. Since the switch release I've been seeing/hearing a lot of "oh I've always wanted to play that game on the go"
Yeah, and the PSP and the Vita weren't direct competitors either, right?
switch sells off name at this point. If that was called the Nintendo steam deck it would sell like crazy. I'm hoping pc players at least support this strongly. not expecting this to sell close to any console, but hoping it does well enough. me personally, I will get rid of my switch if this doesn't have any issues.( Well I might trade it for a switch lite
)
Can you stop making valid points? I just want to see these two idiots who aren't hating on Nintendo complain about how much Nintendo sucks and how much better the PS VIta was in the Nintendo thread. That sort of pointless threadcrapping butters my biscuits, not your consistently well-argued counterpoints.
all versions have expandable microsd storage. 128/256mb pci-e drives cost nowhere near what they're asking in upcharge. easy decision for the base model for me.
Plus emmc is considerably slower than nvme
it is considerably slower, but not considerably slower than a standard sata SSD, IF they havent cheaped out and actually went with the latest spec emmc, that can hit usually 400 MB/s +/- 100 for reads which is very close to sata SSD. Writes are still slower no matter what but within the realm of sata spinning disks.
You just described the Switch's own storage capabilities. Cloud games... Check. Micro sd card day 1... Check. [More expensive] bigger storage version... Check.
I mean, of course they're games with big installs. But steam literally has a bigger Library than the switch does and it'll run those indie games + more better.
I dont think thats a problem most PC games can be set to 720p with little to no issues. I do agree on file size however.
Not to mean the games are cheaper on Steam than on any console platform.
Just because it can be set to 720p and be readable on your average player's 24" monitor doesn't mean it will be at all legible at 7"
Switch has a major advantage for storage though in that it has Physical released games. There's an option to pretty much spend the same as digital to game on the switch without even needing to buy a memory card. And most games are fairly well optimized with storage in mind as well as being readable when in portable mode (not all are optimized perfectly... but most are).
You can do the same (beyond a storage optimized game) if you really wanted, buy a simple adapter that slots into the top usb-c port, now you have a usb-a port. Now you're free to install single games on a usb stick if you really want to treat them like physical games
Already out of stock. I’m hoping I can find 1 in the wild at GameStop and return my Target order since I got store credit to use.
when you say PC games you mean like league of legends? Cause I'm pretty sure pc has the same games as switch minus the Nintendo games
PC game interfaces are designed under the assumption that the player is using a desktop monitor, laptop screen, or possibly a tv. Most PC developers don't think about how their games will look on a 7" screen. Switch games, on the other hand, are all designed knowing the games can be played portable.
I can't read a bunch of the text in some of the screens in Civ6 on my switch lite. Tried my kids switch in handheld and it wasn't much better.
idk I guess since like for example...FF7 steam version was developed with a big screen in mind...it's gonna have hard to read text on the steam deck?
Also switch versions are often different than the PC and other ones. See Ys 8.
Agreed, if it could gain access to the gamepass library would be a huge selling point.
It's a linux based pc... so... I don't know. I know they are doing some windows emulation stuff for the games that aren't linux native... but you may need to install windows 10 to the thing and maybe dual boot it to have the best of both worlds.
Yes it can access any of your game libraries. It was confirmed by the devs in the IGN interview. Not having to buy the portable Switch version of games I can already access on PC was a huge decision maker for me.
