Here's my thought about the whole legal battle between PocketPair and Nintendo, just how would Nintendo's undeserved win effect other types of game creators if Nintendo were to somehow win the lawsuit even though they desperately need to lose it, like for example how would that effect RPG Maker Game Creators?

Switch 2 editions of old games costing more and not including the DLC is pretty savage, ngl. croajirokek

My sources said that unless the upgrade actually had new content, it was free

It’s a little convoluted

Like the new Forgotten Land will cost money, but the "Make SV not run like a slideshow" is free

But preexisting DLC isn’t included in Switch 2 Editions of games.

sick flame
#

maybe DLC coming later update?

unborn mauve
peak folio
#

No you just buy the DLC

teal iron
#

If you HAVE pre-existing DLC do you get to play it in the switch 2 version

peak folio
#

If you already have it you’re fine

teal iron
#

ALso have they announced the actual price to upgrade to the switch 2 version where it does cost money

#

i.e. forgotten land expansion

peak folio
#

If it’s a game you don’t already own and you buy the red cartridge for the upgraded version (which costs more) it doesn’t include any expansion passes.

unborn mauve
#

wait.... i just realise....

#

if you don't have the game physical from switch 1....

peak folio
#

You can transfer

unborn mauve
#

you can transfer your library right?

peak folio
#

Yes

#

Obviously it has to come off the old system

novel sun
#

It's part of that "virtual game card" thing they introduced

peak folio
#

Gamestop actually has a trade-in program where they’ll help you transfer your stuff to a Switch 2 before you turn in the old switch

#

And yeah… stuff like pokemon saves can’t be backed up in any way, it’s on the system, no SD or cloud backup or anything

peak folio
novel sun
#

No they definitely focused on using that to move from 1 console to another

peak folio
#

You are confused.

novel sun
#

"The virtual game card feature for Nintendo Switch* and Nintendo Switch 2 systems adds some of the flexibility of physical game cards to your digital game library!

If you have two systems, you can digitally eject and load games from one system to another-and you can even lend games to members of your Nintendo Account family group."

That's from their website

peak folio
#

That’s not a permanent thing

novel sun
#

It's not just for lending

peak folio
#

Virtual game cards automatically return to the original console after two weeks.

#

If you use virtual game cards to try to move your library to a new system you are going to be horribly disappointed.

novel sun
peak folio
#

Please read the whole page. 😆

novel sun
#

Yeah, the lending and returning thing is clearly worded as a "you can also..."

#

"also" means a separate function

sick flame
peak folio
#

if you own both systems long term it probably makes sense, but if you’re just moving to a new system just do a system transfer

sick flame
#

possible a website coming updated before switch 2 release?

novel sun
#

Oh I'm not saying a simple data transfer isn't the way to go. My only point was that "move your games between systems" was one of the major marketing points of the virtual cards

peak folio
sick flame
peak folio
sick flame
#

yep

peak folio
#

They have a lot of first party games so I trust that list can keep going.

peak folio
#

But it’s already pretty damn convoluted and I wonder what the virtual card behavior would be if these systems get reassigned. 😵‍💫

sick flame
novel sun
peak folio
#

If anything it makes it easier to put a game on a secondary system, but the game likely stays with the system if whatever else changes.

#

Unless you log out, then it’s probably just gone. croajirokek

teal iron
#

it's not going to be as easy as sign in on the switch 2, redownload software, and go, is it?

novel sun
#

Doesn't seem like it

peak folio
#

Without virtual cards it’s a nightmare.

#

If you own both and keep both then yeah, that’ll make it at least possible

teal iron
#

Well no cuz like when I sign in on the eshop and hit remember password or whatever that sets the new system as the "main" console won't it

peak folio
#

No idea

teal iron
#

It's if I want to play the game on the old one again that I start getting headaches

peak folio
#

Yeah

teal iron
#

as it is, doing so would be pretty simple, unless my account wasn't the owner, or I had no internet

#

but if I was the one who bought the game and the old system has internet it just goes "yeah you still own this"

peak folio
#

Owing digital on Nintendo is kinda ass, not gonna mince it.

teal iron
#

Or...in the case of donkey kong country tropical freeze specifically for some reason, it violently crashes the game

#

might be unrelated

teal iron
#

unless playstation is some divine paradise of digital ownership autonomy

#

Main system lets all users play the owned games, non-main systems require internet and only the true owner can play

#

I guess xbox is slightly better because Xbox Live/Gamepass has the same inheritance policy on the "main system" whereas in nintendo you either buy the family plan and put the account on it or it doesn't get to play online from you

peak folio
#

You don’t need a divine paradise to avoid the kind of friction you get with nintendo

teal iron
#

Like as it is right now I don't have any problem with nintendo's digital ownership system
I suppose if I travelled more I might have problems

peak folio
#

But in most cases I haven’t run into issues unless you try to run a game in two places at once, but I can say I’ve tried this recently on Sony.

teal iron
#

but this digital game card thing sounds like they want to make it actually unpleasant

#

"like yes hello I would like to navigate an entire menu and watch an animation to play my game on a different device" -No sane person ever

peak folio
teal iron
#

"also in doing so I want to deny my own system access to the game"

peak folio
#

And the virtual console on the wii, even on the SD cards the games and saves are DRMed to that specific Wii you just can’t move games to another system ever.

Playstation 3 and up you can just back everything up on an external drive and restore on a new one with the same PSN

The biggest scam in the video game industry probably belongs to the slimeballs at Roblox or Fortnite, actually

They are engineered to deceive you with a $0 pricetag

It’ll sell regardless.

#

They’re trying to get ahead of demand but we’ll see.

unborn mauve
#

to be honest, it looks like the Wiiu.2

novel sun
#

Less innovative than the Wii U honestly

#

Switch 2 is quite literally "the Nintendo Switch, but with some upgrades and accessories"

#

Which definitely is common in the console industry, but Nintendo previously stood out for its more innovative, "trying new things" approach

unborn mauve
#

the actualy trying a new thing
80-90$ games

and nobody like it

Less innovation than the Virtual Boy

#

The problem isn't that the system is $450 and the accessories are $70-$120, the problem is that average wages have not kept up with inflation and so the ability of the average person to afford the rising prices is falling faster than the prices are rising

There is a version with some DLCs included

#

Most games are not beneath 70

#

And 10 bucks more or less is nothing to talk about. Back in the days, you got a full game for 30 bucks

unborn mauve
peak folio
#

Deluxe editions aren’t the price for entry, using them as the point of comparison is disingenuous.

Useless cosmetics, sticker packs for the chat, emotes... Yes, that's what I mean croajirokek

#

Calling a $70 game an $80-$90 game because $10 is nothing…

#

So Sony and Microsoft aren’t doing the same thing

odd mesa
#

What do you get for the 10 bucks saved? Another game? I doubt it croajirokek

peak folio
#

So you’re defending $80 games

odd mesa

And again, Monster Hunter Wilds may be 70, but there are games that are more expansive on console

Riiiiight

odd mesa
peak folio
#

You just admitted to contradicting yourself.

odd mesa
#

I think you just continue to not get my point

peak folio
#

Your point is you are arguing both ways.

odd mesa
#

I don't care if it's 70 or 90, the prices are way too high. Especially since almost any game includes battle passes, DLCs and exclusive cosmetics

#

If you didn't understand that so far, you simply didn't get my point

peak folio
#

$70 is a new release on all platforms.

odd mesa
#

Yeah, for an unfinished base game in most cases

#

Cyberpunk is the best example for that

peak folio
#

And that wasn’t what you were trying to claim about Xbox and Playstation

#

But yeah most games go on sale eventually, but Nintendo makes it a point to not “devalue” old games.

#

So unless something changes an $80 game is going to stay there forever.

odd mesa
#

I said that 80-90 bucks is nothing new, because it isn't. I'm not into the most expensive games, but if I remember correctly, EA brought out some base games that were at 110 bucks

#

I can remember seeing an ice hockey base game that high, base game only

peak folio
#

In the old days you could spend $80+ on a collector’s edition of a game, but you’d get stuff like a hard cover art book, cloth maps, foot tall statues, maybe regular miniatures, a physical soundtrack, etc

#

Now these upsells are like skins and stuff. Chillet_hee

odd mesa
#

Yeah, but you pay 120 instead

#

For digital goodies instead of cool stuff for your room

Stop making up numbers, those aren’t real

I told you I know it for a fact cause I actually look through the store mostly once a week chikipisus

Though at least it’s not like old school Street Fighter II where every time they added something they sold it as another full game

Well, speaking of that

And cartridges were expensive af

odd mesa
#

Dragonball Xenoverse 2, which was released some years ago

#

The base game was 40, I believe

#

But they had countless character DLCs, mostly 10-20 bucks

#

If you get everything for the highest price possible, over 300 bucks

#

For a full game, basically

peak folio
odd mesa
#

My example with Dragonball cause I like Dragonball a lot, but it's not only for anime games

unborn mauve
peak folio
#

But either way it’s not the price of entry

odd mesa
#

True, you can get only the base game

peak folio
#

LoL has that $500 skin or w/e

odd mesa
#

Either you are just 10 bucks off or you have 20 hours of playtime because the real stuff hides in missions from the DLC

odd mesa

#

Valve charges thousands?

odd mesa
#

People complain about 90 bucks but don't even notice that it's only natural. Pokémon X/Y was at 45 bucks back then when I got it, 15 more than I've spend for most PS3 games. PS4 went up to 50-60 per title.

#

At that point the full spectrum is applicable everywhere

#

Except for Nintendo first party games, they don’t do discount labels anymore.

odd mesa
#

Just wait for the next gen consoles from XBox and Playstation. The games will be more expansive as well, unless the gamers finally say something about it. And even if, I kinda doubt it will be enough to drive the prices back down a bit.

$70 games are already flopping hard enough to take down studios left and right, but the prices aren’t the only reason.

at most it would be just below the switch 1 sales

the Switch 2, by all means, is the same as a switch 1

it plays all the same games, with the exception of labo

There’s s big list of games with compatibility issues.

so, unless Labo was life-changing for you, it makes sense to upgrade to a switch 2 just for the console itself if you have an OG switch 1

but either way, for all intents and purposes, the Switch 2 is an upgraded switch 1, even if the games are fucking stupidly overpriced, it still has use for switch 1 games

#

which is why pre-orders are flying off the shelves

like guys i get that Nintendo fucking sucks because they dare to hurt out precious pally-world but lets be logical here, The Switch 2 is a pretty damn good piece of kit at a fair price, $450 is pretty alright for what you get

I picture parents going to the store and seeing Switch 2 systems and games next to Switch 1 systems and the same games and Switch 1 being way cheaper.

i assume they are quickly going to phase out the switch 1, tho

Nintendo is normally very quick about that, but this time around I can see them continuing to sell Switch 1 systems as the budget option.

Instead of coming up with a Switch 2 lite straight away.

But I can’t say.

well either way if the kid already has a switch 1 then its fine and dandy

but i imagine as a christmas present or whatever the parents are gonna get lil timmy the upgrade he's been wanting

like sure it's not as serious as judging me for like, my skin color, i can choose whether or not to own a switch 2

i also want games to be more affordable and thing the video game industry is fucking plagued by greedy corpos and is a prime example of the awfulness that is late-state capitalism

古川です。みなさまのお手元に「Nintendo Switch 2」をお届けすべく、事前に多くの部材を調達し、生産を進めてきました。4月2日には「Nintendo Switch 2」の詳細を発表し、マイニンテンドーストアで抽選販売の応募を開始しましたが、その結果、日本だけで約220万人という非常に多くの方に応募いただきました。ただ、これは私たちの事前の想定を大幅に上回っており、マイニンテンドーストアから6月5日にお届けできる「Nintendo Switch 2」本体の数量を大きく超えてしまっております。したがいまして大変残念なことに、明日4月24日の当選発表においては、相当数のお客様が当選しないことが想定されます。

It doesn’t fit 😔

#

Way more people in Japan applied to preorder the Switch 2 than the amount of systems they will have for launch.

tranquil obsidian
#

translation non withstanding, sounds like it's only the my Nintendo "lottery" (I'm guessing this is the invite preorders)

#

why would you invite more people than you can possibly meet, sounds a little irresponsible on their part

peak folio
#

Yeah that’s if they’re ordering direct from Nintendo.

tranquil obsidian
#

invite 2 million people
2 million people show up
"who could have forseen this?"

peak folio
#

I don’t think the invites went out yet.

#

They’re warning they don’t have that many.

tranquil obsidian
#

here in the UK, they basically selected a bunch of people to be allowed to preorder, so i was thinking that's what they meant by lottery

peak folio
#

Yeah, people are signing up like crazy, to be expected.

tranquil obsidian
#

here, they just sent you the email

peak folio
tranquil obsidian
#

you didn't sign up, they just emailed you, so if it's the same there, it sounded like they sent more invites than they could actually honour

peak folio
tranquil obsidian
#

my Nintendo, the official site

peak folio
#

Okay, afaik worldwide the invites go out on some date in May.

tough comet
tranquil obsidian
#

i guess UK went first for.... some reason

#

probably because small sales tbh

peak folio
#

I mean you still need to sign up for it

#

Which started the same time everywhere except for US and Canada.

tranquil obsidian
#

no, just need an account that has been active for two years

peak folio
#

That’s the eligibility requirement

#

I didn’t think they’d just throw invites at people who didn’t say they want one.

tranquil obsidian
#

in the UK, you were contacted by them via email. you didn't need any special sign-up or anything

it's likely because the UK is only a small market anyway.

tranquil obsidian
peak folio
#

Oh geez, that’s just solicitation

tranquil obsidian
#

you needed to have "recieve marketing emails" enabled to be fair

peak folio
#

If they already collected the money from those who responded then I guess you could call that an invite.

tranquil obsidian
#

it sounds like it's being done differently in different regions

the confusion for me was if it was being done there like it's being done here, it sounded like they sent more invites then they could actually meet, and so now have to pick who actually counts

peak folio
#

Appears so.

night plume
#

If I ventured to guess, they probably assumed majority of the invites would go unseen for various reasons, not go through, or people would just not claim it for various reasons.

Most likely didn't account for the fact the number of people that have been made aware of how you have to get the system and people trying to be as vigilant as possible not to miss their opportunity.

#

I know many people who cannot access the emails they use for their game accounts and many others who never check the emails they use for the game accounts unless they just bought something.

peak folio
#

If it’s going to active subscriptions, hopefully they haven’t lost the credentials

night plume
#

Maybe that is why so many saw the email. They all just recovered them xD

peak folio
tranquil obsidian
#

"to be eligible, enable marketing emails"
1 million people enabling them overnight

humble parrot
#

More than that

#

There were other requirements

#

I think one was enabling the telemetry stuff

#

Having a certain number of hours played

teal iron
#

Just having that be public, right?

humble parrot
#

No idea, I think their sites have their demands

tranquil obsidian
#

i know, i was just saying that that being one of the requirements is a possible cause of the miscalculation

peak folio
#

The GB site requests your invite email if you try to get a Switch 2 so that’s legit. Chillet_hee

tranquil obsidian
#

probably because telemetry data requirement woulds be illegal here

#

you only have to have the play data stuff enabled

#

so if a bunch of people turned their data permissions on overnight, the number of eligible people would have inflated overnight

sage topaz
#

People actually still buying Nintendo consoles

tranquil obsidian
#

and there was no date requirement for data/email permissions, so if you invited "everyone" and only 1 million were eligible, then suddenly "everyone" now includes the extra 1.2 million people who all signed up overnight so your expected 1mil is now 2.2m

humble parrot
#

There was a requirement for subscription time

tranquil obsidian
#

i didn't say subscription time

humble parrot
#

I think you had to have the subscription active since before 2 years ago or something like that

tranquil obsidian
#

yes

sage topaz
#

massive yikes

teal iron
#

or trying to

#

When do they ship again?

tranquil obsidian
#

so basically, in my example, 2.2 million people met requirements 1 and 2, but only 1 million met 1, 2 and 3. so they invited "everyone" (1 million) but then the other 1.2 all met condition 3 overnight and now there's 2.2 instead of the expected 1

teal iron
#

I wonder if we'll get ours before my brother's wedding

sage topaz
tranquil obsidian
#

as long as they get away with it they'll keep doing it

#

in my case at least, i get most of the money back, and i technically cost them sales as kids play at the club instead of buying their own =p

teal iron
#

The way I see it, unless the hypno ray on the moon starts working, nothing anyone does will actually change anything so all you'd accomplish by boycotting is denying yourself the pleasure

tranquil obsidian
#

usually the answer is "go to the competition", but Nintendo's response is to sue all competition

sage topaz
teal iron
#

If everyone on this server all crossed their arms and said "no I am not buying nintendo" it would amount to....a rounding error in lost sales for Nintendo

Maybe their account MIGHT maybe notice

If every discord user on earth boycotted nintendo, well, that's a shame, but they're still going to hit their profit margins for this quarter

humble parrot
#

And it worked out, they are on their 4th movie

teal iron
#

They might make some noncommital statement to win PR back

humble parrot
#

It was people not buying into ubisoft's crap anymore that has them on the ropes

teal iron
#

Yeah because those were highly vulnerable targets

humble parrot
#

So please, don't try use excuse of "they are too big to fail"

sage topaz

With your logic people who said they would stop Tesla would not amount to anything as at best it was a few thousand loud mouths online. Yet both actual sales and stocks have tanked so hard. ANd this is Tesla the one of the most high valued companies on earth. Then we got Nintendo on the other hand that is comparison makes jack shit.

teal iron
#

Nintendo is not vulnerable, they're riding on one of if not the most successful consoles they've ever made

tranquil obsidian
#

i skipped on totk because i didn't like botw, and totk keeping the durability system showed a lack of consideration for literally the most complained about thing

it almost certainly accomplished fuck all in the grand scheme of things, but just because I'm not gonna change anything doesn't mean i can't be stubborn

humble parrot

Even companies like Disney are seeing a stop on their movie making because it's been flop after flop

That's because Disney makes trash, Ubisoft makes trash, and Sony made trash

I cannot think of a recent nintendo game, especially not a major one, that did not do exceptionally well

MP4 development hell doesn't bode well

#

Considering Metroid already flopped before

#

Star Fox also flopped and was abandoned entirely

#

F-Zero too maybe?

sage topaz
tranquil obsidian
#

i think mp4 was likely due to the twin stick patent expiring; mp remaster being the first Nintendo game to use the patent was likely them experimenting

humble parrot
#

They have a long list of failures like everyone else

teal iron
#

regardless, not buying the switch 2 isn't going to affect them unless tens of millions of people do it

humble parrot
#

It worked for the 3DS

teal iron
#

and no one here is tens of millions of people

Taking individual action as actually impactful on the whole is a stupid logic that corporations invented so we would blame each other for their negligence

The switch 2 is going to succeed or fail on its own merits, not because Az boycotted it or I bought it anyway

ehhh flip the second part around, for the parallel logic

humble parrot

I'm not boycotting anything

teal iron

I'm speaking in hypotheticals anyway, so it doesn't matter

humble parrot

If not buying it is boycotting, I think you crossed a bad line

peak folio
#

Whatever the market will bear.

But Nintendo has a crapton of momentum rn

My point is that whether someone does or does not buy it will not affect its success
The system will determine its own success. The system will determine the order.

Not on an individual level

That's the whole point of it, It's a product, if it doesn't sell it failed

most people are not arguing morality or ethics or whatever esoteric nonsense y'all are on

tranquil obsidian
#

i didn't buy totk, and that surely failed as a result

humble parrot
#

You can't have a desert without each grain of sand

teal iron
#

most people are going to say "does this look like a good purchase"

#

and that, and that alone, will decide the success of the system

#

now to a lot of you, the answer is "absolutely not"
And to me, the answer is "narrowly, but yes"
Neither of us represent the as-yet-unknown majority

#

nothing we do will impact that majority

#

and that majority carries more weight than us as individuals

humble parrot
#

And?

plucky dove

You're acting as if the majority is some, etherial entity instead of just, the sum of the individuals

no.

#

And if you say no, it won't matter

teal iron
#

I'm saying that you should base your personal decision to buy it or not on your personal interest in the system, not on some nonexistent standoff with "The COrporation"

humble parrot
#

That is a personal reason to not buy it

plucky dove
#

Like, what I'm getting is, that your individual action to not buy the console doesn't matter, but it objectively does, that's one less sale
There isn't just one less sale in the grand scheme of things

if you don't agree with a company, you don't have to buy their products.

is it harming anyone
-no
"have fun"

I mean if you like being in a abusive relationship I guess that is your kink but I dont have to like being in a abusive relationship because you like it.

at least you can use mods in skyblivion

There’s already a VR mod for the Oblivion remaster

Which is against tos if you read it

the idea of Bethesda banning mods when they're literally the only thing holding some of their games together is so absurd to me

That gif keeps getting posted everywhere and I hate it. croajirokek

#

i'm not impressed by the oblivion remake but I guess that's just my disdain for traditional photorealistic fantasy designs
And how painfully obvious it is when you try to cover up 2000s game design with 2020s graphics

#

Mass Effect 1 Legendary Edition I'm looking at you

tranquil obsidian
#

okay, you don't need to like it or support it

teal iron
#

No amount of HDR can hide the fact that you can softlock at least 7 quests in ME1

#

None of them are critical but that's probably only because I wasn't TRYING to break the game

#

I actually don't like baldur's gate 3 for the photorealistic fantasy design too but I never said anything because it wasn't ever relevant

#

something about the way characters look is so...GooDisgust

#

I suppose part of it is I wonder why other people like it
I feel like if I liked oblivion I would love it but I was under the impression bethesda fans actually hated it when bethesda remade things

#

maybe that's just because I only read about it in passing and you know how the angry twitter people are

#

snivyshrug i mean if people like it they like it I guess all is well in the world

# teal iron I suppose part of it is I wonder why other people like it I feel like if I liked...

They remake games to nickle and dime their fanbase and people hate that remember without this company MTX would not exist today never ever forget the horse armor. Never forget and never forgive. It is legit insane they are charging 55 EU for a damn remaster it is unreal I might check it out once it enters sales in a few years for 10-15 EU which is the price point I might give it a shot.

and then maybe after I'll find the disc for the wii version and play with a sowrd that stays on target from start to finish

Play it on dolphin

You are very opinionated

I wish dolphin had something like steam's big picture mode, for using controllers on a large display

#

when I play on my tv it's always so annoying to crouch next to the laptop and daintily move the cursor to what I want and then rushing back to the couch to sit down

humble parrot
#

It would

#

If it hadn't been blocked from steam

teal iron
#

Well I don't mean selecting dolphin from steam you can always add a non-steam game I mean like when you launch dolphin instead of the small little menu you get a fullscreen window that can be fully navigated with controller

humble parrot
#

Hm

#

Retro Arch is like that

teal iron
#

I think retroarch has something like it, although it has really really bad default bindings in my experience, and is kinda meh overall

humble parrot
#

Not sure if it has Dolphin cores

#

It is

#

I have it, both on phone and PC

teal iron
#

I remember once I tried to play a DS game on it, and then I went back later and it had reset all my controller bindings to a chimera of a default setup

humble parrot
#

It took some fiddling with it

teal iron
#

Does it have netplay though

humble parrot
#

But I saved all the control schemes and it can auto switch based on game

#

That would depend on the core

teal iron
#

I am positive I had saved my control scheme and it just wasn't there when I went back

humble parrot
#

But Retroarch itself has it

#

Tbh, Retroarch is like the Linux of emulators

#

It requires more setup and is more finicky than a specialized one

#

It is probably the best option for phones though

teal iron
#

hm

#

It's just wild to me that of all the things dolphin has, it doesn't really have accessibility for controllers

humble parrot
#

Dolphin was....mismanaged for a while

teal iron
#

Like did it just not cross the devs' minds that people might play it on a large TV using only a wireless controller?

humble parrot
#

I remember sometimes whole updates just to move a few buttons around

#

But that was a long time ago

@peak folio you know this isn't true since there was something similar with monster hunter worlds Collab with square enix and the final fantasy emote the dragoon

Though I’ve seen a couple of Japanese posts where they were flying on the seikret to get to unreachable areas.

Like one if the mounted emotes pitches up and they were repeatedly using it to fly.

I guess it's not, it would be more of a spin-off

So we have:
Subnautica -> Subnautica 2
Subnautica: Below Zero in its own place

So the game does not matter then?

Matters as much as any spinoff
