A little to the left was a interesting puzzler game. It was ok and kind of OCD helping at the start but, after level 2, it got really confusing what to even do.
After a guide, but, man, I'll be honest, was not crazy about it.
@ecurl143: Trust me, I have a SteamDeck as well... It blows away the Switch in every way, even plays Switch games.....
I would grab my deck before even looking at my Switch....Infact I have not touched my Switch for months now but, played the newest Switch game on my SteamDeck (hint, it runs better).
The Switch 2, or whatever it is called will be a wait and see. If it's really good, budget priced and has a handful of titles I must play, maybe I will grab it on release but, otherwise, 6-8 months out before I grab one...
@ecurl143: I agree 1000%. Even with the Switch, I waited months before buying it, when titles came out, I really wanted to play, I needed to wait till there was a few titles at least.
A Nintendo system is nothing to get excited about anymore. The Switch showed its weakness in playing higher end games (BOTW dropping to the teens in FPS at times), and as they will be trying to hit a price point (to be cheaper than the others), they will have weak hardware again.
It's not like when the SNES came out, or even the N64, those days of excitement for a Nintendo system is gone...
I will be watching but, in no way buying right away, unless it's a gift...
@nintendians:We disagree on most of this. You still seem to think Emulators should not exist. MOST devs who make emulators do not make money on them. Maybe some do via ads or something but, direct money from people, most do not.
I am going to leave this one as we agree to disagree. I kind of feel like I am talking to a brick wall.
Please do not respond to any of my posts any more EVER. You will always get a flame from me going forward.
@nintendians: See the problem is your view on it. Yuzu, Retroarch, Citra, etc didn't or does not pirate games, just like any other emulator (that is above board, I know there are questionable ones). There is no way in the software itself to link you to downloading the bios OR games.
They used NO NINTENDO code, did not mod or use part of Nintendo's systems, NO GAMES OR BIOS was included but, the big Nintendo BULLY STILL attacks them. They have tried to attack any and every emulator on the market. AGAIN, this software DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY OF NNINTENDO's code OR PRODUCT.
It was and is always up to the end user to access their own games and add their own BIOS or games. AGAIN, in case you can't read, THIS IS ALL UP TO THE USER, No emulator gives you direct links to games or bois needed to play the games.
This is innovation where someone tried to re-create in software that they love and your OK with Nintendo Attacking them and wrecking their lives, as Nintendo has done to some people.
And you still stand by Nintendo on this one..... LOL
They make some good games but, they suck as a company. Pirating their games is one thing but, attacking devs doing their own work is just wrong ANYWAY ABOUT IT.
I really hope one day they try to attack someone with a big wallet and sue the heck out of them for damages.
They are the ONLY company who makes video games who attacks devs, has Sega done this ? Atari ? Microsoft ? Sony ? Nope...
@nintendians: To each their own, your allowed to "THINK" what you want. Everything you said was spoken like a true "Nintendo fanboi". I like Nintendo games but, some of their policies on retro games and fans really piss me off. I play everything on every console, so as I am Nintendo game fan, I am not a fanboi like yourself but, the company itself can suck it as far as I feel.
Nintendo would take every emulator down if they could do it BUT THEY CANT. Yuzu was a lucky break for them but, if they were not taking Patrion money, Nintendo would not have anything to stand on.... and when the number hit $30K and people paying could emulate new games over the free version, it's why they jumped. Nintendo is a big bully and will always be known as that.
Like I own games (a good size library) for pretty much every Nintendo system made but, Nintendo charges me to pay a monthly fee for the games I own. If I paid for them on the Wii, Nope, I need to pay again. I own them on the SNES, NOPE I need to pay again, I own them on the NES, Nope I need to pay again. We can go on and on how Nintendo charges people for games over and over. Do we want to discuss the portable games? Oh, wait they charge again for those. It really does go on and on.
Any game I own already, I will emulate and play on other hardware and REFUSE to repay for the game on another system, PERIOD.
I tried going online with the Switch and their system is bad compared to Xbox or even the weak PSN. Tried it on the Switch a few times and would not use it again, I did buy a 3 month package when I got my Switch. Only used it to play single player games till I played a few games where they dropped in the teens in framerates (Breath of the wild is one of them) and got more common in the later years, quality control sucks here. I gave up on their hardware, I still buy the games but, on my 8-year-old gaming PC with a 3070 (an older card now), they all run at 60fps or higher. Much more enjoyable experience.
The problem is if they make a mind-blowing console, faster than the PS6 or Xbox Series Z, it would be like $800+ and it would not sell at all, Nintendo consoles are appealing because they are fairly cheap compared to other consoles. This is good for them because they will sell but, they are weak, and people want to emulate them after a few years.
Again to each their own..... good luck on your very one-sided view.... by your username I can see that..
@everson_rm: I will admint it, the Wii U was a great system that suffered from the name and poor marketing. This is 100% Nintendo's fault.
The Wii was a fun system but, known by gamers to be the weakest console on the market. When the WiiU came out most people (even me for a while) thought it was a Wii part 2.... same old same old, the screen was a gimmick and was not marketed very well. The name killed it.
Once I got one cheap (because 1 game I had to play), I started grabbing games in the library and it was a really well-designed console that was a lot fun to play.
If you were wondering what game I had to play.....Super Mario 3-D land, played the 3DS version and loved it and had to play a console version of the game.
One of the best Super Mario games ever.....(I said one of)
@nintendians: Victory? Really? More like bullied Yuzu, yea, the YUZU team messed up and the BIG N Bully threatened them. You shut down and we will not take you to court is pretty much the way it went. They were also raking in like $30K a month through Patrion. Maybe that is why Nintendo found them a target; I really wish they had the funds to tell the BIG N BULLY to get bent.
Wrecking Emulation damages innovation and preservation. In Nintendo's eyes, it should be 100% illegal and people who do it should be put to death. After what they have done to people over the years, I would not be shocked at someone at corporate actually thought that.
I am not talking a Switch 2 Emulator, YET, I am talking the hardware, all of any modern Nintendo system has been modded or hacked in some way. I give it 3-4 months after release for the "hackers" find I way to mod the system to allow even side loaded software....
Still the fact of the matter when the Switch came it out was a higher end cell phone CPU and with a better GPU, a phone 2 years later was faster and performed better (My s23 Ultra can emulate 85% of switch games fine).
People were talking 4K when it was doing 720p/1080p as released, just like the Wii, when PS3 and Xbox 360 did 1080p, Nintendo was doing 480p stuff that companies were doing 5 years before.
Nintendo would be smart to give up hardware and make their games for other systems. They would be more profitable (most consoles are sold are very low profit if not a loss), and they wouldn't have to worry about piracy much anymore (Xbox consoles have not been hacked and PS5 if you never updated it maybe).
I know Nintendo would never do it but, we could get better (4k+ games) and not be limited by old, outdated hardware.
Just like the Switch 2, I would bet it's outdated in hardware in 2-3 years...
