My main gripe with Nintendo since the Wii is the lack of analogue triggers for racing games. Played this on Xbox Game Pass and it was great. I’m guessing the GameCube controller would work but doesn’t solve the handheld problem.
I definitely want to get to these games at some point. JRPG fans are eating so good right now. Now all we need is the more fanservicey ones to not be censored or banned just about everywhere and JPRGs will be in their golden age.
All of the original lawyers from the 2011 ruling are no longer on this case. They retired early and are currently relaxing on yachts in the Mediterranean. Similarly, the lawyers who were working on this ruling will not be involved in the appeal proceedings, as they are joining their retired lawyer friends on those previously mentioned yachts.
IMMEDIATELY knew I’d need the rest of this series ASAP. Playing the Crossbell games right now even though I know it spoils some of Sky 2 and 3, but given how many of these games there are…I want to get further in before I die.
Square Enix sells 8.3 billion copies of JRPG Remix, and immediately apologises to shareholders for underperformance.
Ensuing note in company report:
“While successfully selling one copy of the game to every living person on the planet, we will have to shut down studios X and Y for failing to attract more sales from dead consumers.”
@mjhopkins81 but NSO games aren’t streamed. They have to be downloaded fully to be able to play them. And there would be no difference with lag if they were Virtual Console games instead.
i got this game in humble choice and didnt care for it, it felt like i was drunkenly stumbling from location to location doing random stuff in order to progress instead of progressing organically or solving puzzles normally, i guess. this game is definitely too old school for me, and nightdive didnt really do anything to change the game for the modern day. at LEAST have a normal map system, yknow
I haven't played the Trails series yet but I'm always amazed by how far the anime visuals have come. From the older days of N64 and GCN FE Path of Radiance, I remember being blown away by the Radiant Dawn anime cutscenes how much they looked like the 2D art. I think Falcom is in the forefront of said graphics
The mobile/VR version of this were not good, and the fact that it has the low battery mode again leads me to believe this is a port of that version, so not a port of the PC/Console versions. So id absolutely wait for hands on/reviews for this one. It's a great game, but the mobile versions are not.
For the one negative, Nightdive didn’t add any new puzzles to the game. Everything that was in the original 1994 game is here, just with much better visuals. Playing it on PC, they still recommend a keyboard and mouse.
Not watching the trailer to avoid spoilers, but glad to hear that the 2nd Chapter has now a release date (not a precise one, but still) - looking forward to playing the 1st one as soon as I have a free slot in my gaming schedule, hopefully by doing so I'll be ready to start this when it comes out!
After the work they did with Grid Autosport and Alien Isolation on Switch, which were 2 of the finest ports on the console, (Alien being, in my opinion, the very best Switch port), I have no doubts that this will be a fantastic port. Feral dont do half ass ports.
GRID seems to be a good fit for the Switch when it comes to a simcade racer. It could never really do true racing sims due to the lack of analog triggers, but they can work if you keep the traction and braking assists on. I felt like this game was under-appreciated as a simcade racer this gen and it's nice to see it getting some attention again. Might have to pick this up just to have it as a handheld racer.
Cool, based on an interview he did with Bobby Lee it feels like he will basically never think the game is complete. Still, the NS2 update will be nice and I can get back into the game after pausing my farm.
Glad that nowadays the situation has improved when it comes to third-party accessories - that said, how I wish both parties didn't contribute to cases like this one (we all know how litigious Nintendo are while what BigBen did is mentioned in this very article)...
Last Wii mote (Blue with motion plus official) I had ended up trashed because of the included batteries leaking. If I get another I think I will use lithium AA’s. (I dunno how long I left it for but it was barely used).
Great, now just Nintendo needs to give us proper support for alternative controllers with analog triggers. Messing around with remapping is quite messy experience.
I'm not interested in seriously competing in ranked battles, it's a pain for the mega stones that are being held behind it, but I've not found it too challenging/frustrating to get a few ranks and grab them in the following season. I'll be doing the same here for Chesnaughtite.
I want to know how lg manages to have the pointer basically perfect on my lg oled but whatever Nintendo uses (gyro ?) is massively inferior on the Switch. I really liked the gun games on the Wii.

Re: GRID Legends: Deluxe Edition Is Racing Onto Switch 2 In Early 2026
@Kulhy this is all I want. Say what you want about F1 games, but without those analog triggers, it really does lose something

Nice, happy for those interested in this (potentially me included at some point) - in particular pretty cool that it will include such options!

Sounds like they rushed to get this out the door before the holidays.

@Nep-Nep-Freak third party Wiimotes were terrible compared to Nintendo then.

Re: Review: System Shock (Switch 2) - Performance Woes Tarnish A Classic
This is very unlike Nightdive. What a shame. This seems to be a recurring theme with Switch 2 at the moment.

Re: Review: System Shock (Switch 2) - Performance Woes Tarnish A Classic
Nightdive Studios' quality seems to have taken a, ahem, dive recently
> but for now, you'll be better off playing it on another platform
Getting flashbacks now. Surely this is not a trend, right? ... right?
Re: Review: System Shock (Switch 2) - Performance Woes Tarnish A Classic
Brutal! Surprised this game is a game to have performance issues.

Re: Nintendo Wins $8.2 Million In Damages Over Wii Controller Patent Infringement
@h3s I may be wrong on this but I think that leaving anything with batteries unused for a while makes battery leak worse?

Re: GRID Legends: Deluxe Edition Is Racing Onto Switch 2 In Early 2026
Awesome, looking forward to this one, but curious about how the lack of an analog trigger will impact the experience
Re: GRID Legends: Deluxe Edition Is Racing Onto Switch 2 In Early 2026
@chickje great feedback. How do you think the game will play without analogue triggers?

Now they can do Dragon Quest 1-6 pixel remastered.

Re: GRID Legends: Deluxe Edition Is Racing Onto Switch 2 In Early 2026
Such a good game! It really nails that arcade handling. I wish they would use this engine to build a proper 90s arcade racer.
The DLC was fantastic too, so I'm definitely double dipping. Bring it on!
Re: GRID Legends: Deluxe Edition Is Racing Onto Switch 2 In Early 2026
Finally a good usage for the analogue triggers of Switch 2. Wait…
Re: GRID Legends: Deluxe Edition Is Racing Onto Switch 2 In Early 2026
I've always wanted to try this game!

That's pretty cool, even if the game was just ok in my experience (played it for a few hours through GamePass). Reasonable price too!

Yep!!! Love this game and will hopefully be great to have a proper racer if the port is good!
Re: The US Suffered Its Worst November Since 1995 In Terms Of Hardware Sales
If it had a brand new Mario game, it would be different. Also, Nintendo has not announced any huge and big games for next year.
Re: Nintendo Wins $8.2 Million In Damages Over Wii Controller Patent Infringement
@Nep-Nep-Freak that's the thing, though: no third-party offering back then was even remotely better than the Wiimote.

Re: Nintendo Wins $8.2 Million In Damages Over Wii Controller Patent Infringement
Well, with them appealing and I imagine going to lose the appeal, they are about to make it even more expensive on themselves.
Re: Nintendo Wins $8.2 Million In Damages Over Wii Controller Patent Infringement
I don't care. If third party controllers are better I will buy third party controllers.
