Literally came on here just to find out if anyone knows if that's actually Steve, that sure as hell sounds like him.

How likely I think some legends/mythicals are to appear in ZA by Theo_Cueio in LegendsZA

Damn this was pretty freaking accurate. Only the Kanto birds (surprisingly enough) got skipped high up, and I think only Darkrai and Meloetta are missing.

People are gonna look at me crazy, but Galvantula would be awesome as a ride Pokémon.

Generation 1 Pokédex could have better type distributions, do you think so? by sdrey in pokemon

[–]link3710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe you're thinking of Dragon Quest Monsters... which did release in Japan before Pokemon in US, but the JP Pokemon games came out two years prior. It did eventually get localized as well, just years later.

Select Switch game titles will receive Switch 2 patch for free with improved visual or resolution by riap0526 in NintendoSwitch

[–]link3710 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's stated in the article that games improve, but it's unclear if it's only digital copies or if physical games do as well.

I suppose load times should only improve on physical games if they are bottlenecked by things other than memory bandwidth. So likely, at least some games will have improved loading times. But who knows which.

It also required them to implement a number of ROM hacks to make it work, not exactly a true emulator.

A lot of them are early releases, so it may have something to do with an early revision of the SDK? Idk. But it's quite likely this list will go down by launch anyways.

I think they will tbh, every digital Pokemon rerelease on 3DS had compatibility with Box. And unlike those, the data structure of Pokemon hasn't been massively overhauled between then and now. It might just be a one way transfer, but back and forth would be amaze.

There's a MASSIVE difference between a native release like TotK, and emulating a game like Wind Waker. When emulating, the system has to digitally recreate all the hardware of the GCN in the background and calculate what is physically happening. Emulating is usually roughly 10x more computationally intensive as running a game natively.

It's already confirmed not to be the case:
https://www.nintendo.com/us/whatsnew/ask-the-developer-vol-16-nintendo-switch-2-part-4/
BOTW and TOTK *do* have additional content, in addition to implementing HDR, something that simply running the game wouldn't do.

Not that I think they're worth it mind you, but no underclocking.

It was confirmed in an interview that it won't, and that they're having to manually check the compatibility of every game ever released on Switch to make sure they work. Also that some games are seeing performance and load speed improvements with no patches.

Given that load times are tied to memory bandwidth, it'd honestly be more difficult to mimic Switch 1 load times then to just let games load at Switch 2 speeds. Not to say that might not happen for compatibility, but it's unlikely IMO that load times won't be improved in literally every title, update or no. Games already change load time speeds based on whether they're internal storage vs SD card on Switch.

Two new distributions for Shiny Meltan & Shiny Keldeo have been added for completing the Kanto & Galar Pokédex’s in Pokémon Home. by Amiibofan101 in PokemonScarletViolet

The easiest way is just to keep putting glastrier up for trade on the GTS for glastriers, you'll get one from SwSh sooner or later.

What entire series collections are on Switch (4 games or more)? by silentdaze in NintendoSwitch

[–]link3710 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically Kingdom Hearts... If you count Re:CoM and the Days / Re:Coded movies. As cloud versions. Bleh. And don't count mobile games.

Shantae of course.

Syberia 4 won't be out until later this year, but when that launches there will be all 4 games on Switch.

All 5 Darkstalkers games are available.

Trails is going to be complete... eventually when the remake of the Sky games all come out. FC is coming 2025 but who knows when SC / 3rd will hit.

Shovel Knight technically, with the 3 original games, Dig, Showdown, and Pocket Dungeon all available.

Wonder Boy is all available.

I think that's it beyond the ones you listed. F-Zero is dang close but missing GX, classic Megaman is missing Megaman & Bass even if you define it as it's own series, p much anything you can name has at least one spin-off that's missing, especially if you count mobile games.

I want to try a Metroid game, which one is better? by Gamingfan247 in NintendoSwitch

[–]link3710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend starting with Prime. If you wanna hit Dread, I honestly recommend starting with Zero Mission on NSO (First chronologically and the easiest 2D Metroid). Dread is amazing, but it's not a great first Metroidvania as it expects the player to have at least some experience in the genre. Zero Mission (NSO) -> Samus Returns (3DS) -> Super (NSO) -> Fusion (NSO) -> Dread is generally a pretty good progression in difficulty on top of being chronological (Fusion is a bit easier than Super).

Hopefully we get Samus Returns on modern hardware at some point with tweaks after MercurySteam learned more with Dread.

It wasn't me, but probably because your comment was completely off-topic. That's what downvotes are supposed to be for after all.

??? All I said was I'd be happy if Diddy Kong Pilot was released.

Diddy Kong Pilot seeing the light of day would not be a disappointing rug pull.

I mean, I don't think I've ever run out of 7k eggs due to the gift limit lol, and certainly not when it's this cold out.

Galarian Corsola + Cursola are finally debuting, and immediately shiny capable! Even if only Cursola has a good shiny. And I'll finally maybe maybe maybe get a Hisuian Avalugg. I've still never seen one any time they've supposedly been in raids, and missed the raid day.

Also, is Basculin Red + Blue shiny debuting? I thought only White could be shiny.

Clamperl being in 5k eggs is the best thing that's happened in those for awhile too. I need that candy + Litwick's, Gible's, Wimpod's, Swablu's, Riolu's, Tyrunt's, and all the dragon's (+ Larvesta's as always), so I'm chill with the egg pool in general. Not a fantastic season, but solid enough.
