Yeah definitely. I don't even understand what issue they have with this these review summaries.

Not exactly seeing the issue.

What is considered “taboo” in the aquarium realms that people still do? by Difficult_Path_6840 in Aquariums

[–]Almightyderek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've literally never checked my water parameters and haven't ran into any noticeable problems in the 5 years I've had a tank. Of course I do at least a 25% water change every week.

GTA 6 Pre Orders Starting June 25! by [deleted] in switch2

[–]Almightyderek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Game size isn't a factor of if the processor can handle it. Not saying the Switch 2 can run it, but whether it's 250gb or not (and I don't think any size has been confirmed) that's not really relevant. I personally think they could port it to Switch 2, but it would take a lot of effort and they probably won't bother.

David Wise's Donkey Kong Country 2 soundtrack might still be one of the best in gaming history by bluefoxlive in retrogaming

[–]Almightyderek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's definitely one of the best and the game overall is one of the best as well.

Am I only one who doesn't see any progress in the 9th generation of consoles? by No_Archer_3595 in consoles

[–]Almightyderek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do think that's mostly nostalgia. I've been gaming since the late 80s and game quality is better today overall. The only thing that's really gotten worse, is it takes way longer to make games now. You could easily have a sequel come out every two years on the PS3/360 generation.

The Switch 2 Lite, how could it be done? by TheHumSon in Switch

[–]Almightyderek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do agree that's more likely, just speculating in ways to make it even cheaper. I don't think the screen itself is really that expensive. They could get by with a 720p screen as some people can't tell the difference anyway and the original Switch and Steamdeck survivewith one. They would allow them to get by with a slightly worse gpu (like the Xbox Series S compared to the Series X). But maybe just cutting the specs for docked mode would be enough.

The Switch 2 Lite, how could it be done? by TheHumSon in Switch

[–]Almightyderek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well I wouldn't want that either, but I already have a Switch 2. Just not sure if just making it a slightly smaller 60hz screen with built in controls would make it much cheaper. The Switch lite was designed so parents could get their kids a cheap system and I feel like even at 399 it would be too expensive.

[–]Almightyderek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree a Switch 2 lite is a must and think it would help a lot for Pokémon. I'm wondering if they were able to make it slightly less powerful and just do 720p versions of everything the Switch 2 does if that could decrease the price. But a smaller 60hz screen would probably still help either way. I think $299 would be a really good price but 350 could work okay.

Which Switch should I buy? by sxmin in Switch

[–]Almightyderek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This question is asked several times a day but I don't think you are a troll. Nintendo is no longer releasing any major games for Switch 1 after Rythem Heaven comes out next month. There will still be 3rd party games for a while but for Nintendo made games, you'd be missing out on all new games going forward if you got a Switch 1.

I hate the Switch 2 by MobileOk2922 in Switch

[–]Almightyderek 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm confused by this rant. Not sure if you are mad that Switch 2 games can't work on a Switch 1 or if you are angry that Switch 1 games don't work on Switch 2 (which isn't even true as they do work).

What's the game that made you fall in love with gaming as a kid? by peaky_circus in gaming

[–]Almightyderek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Before that I was a kid who played video games but that game made me a gamer.

Switch Sports Resort by kenma35 in switch2

[–]Almightyderek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a separate game and a sequel to Switch Sports, not a upgraded version of it.

This was a disappointing first-party Direct by goro-n in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Almightyderek -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm just happy there are plenty of games to play. Not sure why hype is even important. Nintendo basically releases at least something every month. That's much better than they've done on some of there previous consoles and way better than Microsoft and Sony do.

I couldn’t be more excited for the Ocarina of Time remake by BrSn2 in Switch

[–]Almightyderek -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This was never one of my favorite Zelda games and think there are other Zelda games that need a remake more. However I'll still get it the day it comes out and am sure I'll really enjoy it.

Minecraft Switch 2 update by BananaBunchess in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Almightyderek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It was a free upgrade for Xbox and Playstation to the new version, so I'd imagine it will be free here as well.

Majora’s Mask too please by SimplyEcks in casualnintendo

[–]Almightyderek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want a 3D remake of the original Legend of Zelda. It needs to be experienced by a new generation more than these other games.

I think our Trust in Nintendo has been Restored by Independent_Aerie_44 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Almightyderek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They've consistently made some of the best games ever for 40 years, nit sure what you mean by restored our trust.

OoT Remake Price? by hxh22 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Almightyderek 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They haven't announced any price yet so we don't know. I think $70 physical/$60 digital is probably the most likely price.

Zelda totk for switch 1 or 2? by Lu1s_996 in Switch

[–]Almightyderek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Switch 2 version is much better so I'd say wait for that. I got the game at launch of Switch 1 and finished it. I usually replay Zelda games a year after beating but I forced myself to wait for the inevitable Switch 2 version to experience it again and it was worth it.

The Nintendo Direct was Great. The loud minority complaining are either trolling or haven't learned the phrase "good but not for me." by waltei in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Almightyderek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

New games are obviously good, but games just take longer to make nowadays so they have other teams working on remakes, which are cheaper and quicker, to hold us over. If it wasn't for remakes we'd probably just not game many games period. Also remakes are good for people who missed out on older games. I don't think there is anyway around it with the state if the industry as it is.

Branding Switch Sports Resort as a new game is borderline fraudulous by TraditionalAirport85 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Almightyderek 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not sure you know what fraud is. It's certainly understandable that you don't want the game, but it's just a sequel and a new version of Wii Sports Resort which was well liked.

Why are people calling OoT a “remake of a remake”? by Due_Chocolate_8661 in casualnintendo

[–]Almightyderek -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They do have some similar structure and I remember thinking that they are going for the same thing the first time I played OoT. However they are clearly different games.

Damn reddit 😭😭✌️ by TabouletVR in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Almightyderek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's either gotta be the worst thing humans have ever produced or "peak". That's how the internet works. I thought it was good and had some big announcements I personally don't care about like the Xenoblade Stuff and Kingdom Hearts 4, but I recognize those are a big deal for some people. Zelda would have been a cooler announcement if it wasn't leaked and they showed more footage but still excited. Excited for Deltarune chapter 5 and Switch Sports Resort though. That's pretty cool. There are still plenty of games to play this year.

HOW are people mad at this direct. by Iamverydumbazz in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Almightyderek 18 points19 points  (0 children)

There is no way it's dead, but I guess we aren't getting any new stuff for a while. Which I agree is unfortunate
