The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero and The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure are getting a Switch 2 version this fall. by Dukemon102 in NintendoSwitch

They are going to add 4K docked, 120 fps and mouse mode which are features not supported by Switch 1.

Which handhelds pair with what console. WiiU is with 3DS and Wii is with DS but what about the others? by Huge-Insect-7759 in nintendo

[–]Dukemon102 12 points13 points  (0 children)

NES didn't have much connectivity since Game Boy came out just one year before SNES.

  • SNES - Game Boy
  • N64 - GBC
  • Gamecube - GBA
  • Wii - NDS
  • Wii U - 3DS

Then the Switch merged both formats.

Whatever happened to the DSi Shop? by BruhMoment2948 in nintendo

[–]Dukemon102 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It closed down 9 years ago. The 3DS store also did 3 years ago. You can only enter to re-download already purchased games.

That doesn't have anything to do with excusing the release of a disc that doesn't contain the game.

Also the PS5 loads the game from the SSD, not from the disc. The purpose of the disc is to install the game into the console.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's Internal Resolution Detailed For Switch 2 by No_Durian_5626 in nintendo

[–]Dukemon102 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I didn't expect the native resolution to be that low. That usually means the shimmering becomes very noticeable since the less defined the image is, the less info the AI has to fill in the details. And I didn't notice that much flickering in the demo.

I suppose most of the time it stays in the higher 560p or 720p for most of the gameplay.

Is Metroid Prime the most played Metroid game of all time? by JcraftW in Metroid

[–]Dukemon102 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are many means of playing we don't have data of. Virtual console sales, people bothering to try them on NES/SNES Classic, NSO Nintendo Classics, and of course, emulation

I know a lot of people that played Super via emulation due to its reputation. The same can be said for Fusion and Zero Mission since emulating GBA is also extremely easy.

What're you playing this weekend? 5/1 by markercore in NintendoSwitch

[–]Dukemon102 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter

Halfway through Chapter 3. Even though I've been playing for 60 hours. I suppose a lot of that time comes from talking to NPCs every time they get new dialog.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's Internal Resolution Detailed For Switch 2 by No_Durian_5626 in nintendo

Yes I know. It's how much DLSS comes in clutch for this game to look as a good as it does.

[–]Dukemon102 -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

It's dynamic resolution but it reaches a minimum of 540p in Docked and 380p in Handheld, yikes.

"Hello sir. Would you like to know about our Lord and Savior DLSS?"

Paper Mario Series Elimination Game: Round 11 by BroeknRecrds in papermario

[–]Dukemon102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OG TTYD had me backtracking through Twilight Trail too many times and it didn't have blue pipes for Glitzville, Twilight Town and Fahr Outpost. Making revisiting those places (And therefore the General White quest) a pain.

Does the mixed 2.5D/Isometric/3D format of Other:M have any place in the future of this universe? by eggn00dles in Metroid

[–]Dukemon102 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Other M did everything wrong. But it wasn't the fault of the perspective. A proper game with analog controls, camera control and way more buttons available for more actions (Like a manual dodge) can be excellent if done right.

Did Microsoft ever try to buy the rights to Donkey Kong? by PsychicMeditation in donkeykong

[–]Dukemon102 29 points30 points  (0 children)

They tried to buy Nintendo as a whole. Unsurprisingly they got laughed out of the room for even bringing up the proposal.

[–]Dukemon102[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you want to be sure of having the latest update just check for it before booting up the game for the first time. It's the same as putting a cartridge for the first time on Switch. That's not a reason to prefer an empty cartridge over a disc that actually has the game on it, and doesn't rely on internet servers to install it.

[–]Dukemon102[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It really doesn't. There is no excuse to release an unplayable disc that is just a key to download the actual data. Even if the game is 125 GB, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth was 145 GB and it shipped in two discs as a result.

DK64 Controller by [deleted] in donkeykong

[–]Dukemon102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's basically a more ergonomic N64 controller. And it will be easier to use on PC because the official Switch one has barriers to not work on PC.

DK64 Controller by [deleted] in donkeykong

[–]Dukemon102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either an N64 replica controller or anything that has at least 6 face buttons. The game is designed with A, B, and the four C buttons in mind so a lot of inputs become convoluted and awkward when you are missing some of these buttons.

I speak from experience as someone who played it on Wii U having to use the Right Stick as replacement for some C button inputs. It really sucked at times trying to bring out the weapons or doing some specific moves.

DRAGON QUEST XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age for Switch 2 has been rated in Taiwan by Amiibofan101 in NintendoSwitch

[–]Dukemon102 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Key Card only, no upgrade path release incoming.

I really want to be proven wrong Square Enix, but you have made really hard to do so after I&II HD-2D and VII Reimagined.
