There’s not even a slight difference. There’s literally none. You’ll run up against other system bottlenecks long before you saturate 2 PCIe lanes in the SSD. It’s kind of ridiculous how some people are actually getting mad over this.

Considering the device is coming from a company based in China, you can bet that’ll never happen.

Not surprising Nintendo can keep pushing units. It’s much easier to produce what’s basically a tablet with an 8 year old phone chip than a home console with the latest and greatest.

A very ‘Nintendo’ response. A child-friendly brand, yet always chooses hostility towards its own user base.

Welp, grab ‘em while you still can.

I mean, true or not, that was 8 years ago. Totally different team of people now.

This time I’ll keep my Switch in airplane mode. It’s such a grind to make competitive teams in this remake.

Unrelated, but man, I really tried the controller + phone mount setups, but they’re a killer on the wrists. Should check out a Razer Kishi or one of those telescopic controllers; the comfort’s worth the money.

Haven’t noticed these particular issues in the Grand Underground, though I haven’t really been looking, on account of the game frequently crashing or completely locking up my Switch when joining over WiFi.

It’s actually had the online patcher for at least a year now. They really should advertise it better, because it’s one of the best patchers by far. Even handles zipped ROMs!

I’d imagine most players were spending time in the risk-free Xbox Game Pass version of the game, so can’t really see the Steam numbers alone holding much weight against actual player numbers.

Basculegion’s dex entry sort of works on this premise, so I guess that’s a yes.

The control issues go away only if you buy their $50 N64 controller. Isn’t that convenient?

Welp, that’s a fustercluck. $50 a year for an emulator that might as well have been released in the late 90's.

Regardless of what you think or what’s going on with NFT’s, they do carry a real world value, as chips would at a casino. Makes sense for a store front like Steam cutting them out before it turns into another gambling headache for them.

It’s like the season passes for some of Nintendo’s games, where they don’t offer the individual pieces of DLC. They know what you want, but they’ll be damned to give it to you for just $5.

They probably could’ve gone a step further, like Valve’s Steam Deck reservations, and limit eligibility to those who had registered before some date, to at least help keep some scalpers from just registering a bunch of accounts at once and filling them with junk data to fulfill this “previous interests” requirement.

Then have it on by default, and have the option tied to an NPC, such as going out of your way to find a scientist off the beaten path that you’d need to ask to turn on or off.

And considering the CPU in the Switch is underclocked, that’s a surprise in my book, especially for a console that was infamous for being difficult to emulate properly.

lol Gee, I wonder why Nintendo hates us.
