Zelda and Mario are first party, so I get that, but Xenoblade kills me. I need a rerelease of Xenogears, Xenosaga, and Xenoblade on PC.

Monolithsoft has been 100% owned by Nintendo for over a year.
And they’ve been majority owned by Ninendo since '07.

Well, damn. I didn’t know that. Oh, bother.

The xenoblade game for the switch 1 was okay but the way all the women were depicted was fucking creepy and weird
Katana314@lemmy.world 2 months ago
The worst part is, I consider myself a bit of a gooner; I like alluring, attractive characters. But that was meant to be a story-based game, and yet it designed so many jokes around attractive women dressing in rags, being clueless, easily offended, and seemed to design the story around an intense contact between a shonen hero and a large-breasted woman.
At least in something like Stellar Blade, they evade the subject because they know there’s nothing constructive to say.

I absolutely love XC1 and 3, and I enjoy XCX for everything that’s not its story, and…
Yeah I totally agree with you. XC2 is cursed on many levels. It’s the one I just can’t replay and it’s mainly because of its characters and degenerate quirks. You’ve played the worst game of the series by far.

It was fun. I never finished it but I did more or less enjoy what I played.
But yeah. Cursed is a good word for many of the design choices

Zelda with a competent production company would be amazing.

Both BOTW and TOTK are some of the most well optimized games ever made. It’s truly wild that both those games can be played on what’s basically a suped up smart phone from 2016 and look and play as well as they do.
Unless you’re talking about everything else in the game, idk

I was thinking of it not being the same story over and over again for 30 years

Emulators work really well and are very cost effective
Nima@leminal.space 2 months ago
wanna know something funny? I emulate totk on my steam deck. I stopped playing it on original switch because the load times on steam deck are speedy compared to on original switch.
I’m sure Totk runs fine on switch 2 if you pay 25 bucks for extra frames on a game you already paid 70 dollars for. but i don’t want to buy a console just for that.
but I do wish there was a future where nintendo would allow it on different platforms.
they won’t. ever. but it’d be cool.

Nintendo’s legal department wants to know your location

You just made me remember this vid LMAO

Switch 1 emulators have come a long way honestly. Prior to my GPU reaching the age where it overheats easily I could run TOTK at 50 fps in some areas at FSR using framerate unlocking mods and my specs are fairly outdated. Obviously in more crowded areas the framerate would drop but you have to also consider I was using Yuzu which has been discontinued. There’s newer emulators which are much better and continue to be updated

That’s not some sort of natural aging process; that’s you failing to do maintenance. Clean out the dust and/or replace the thermal paste.

Where did the $25 come from? Isn’t the upgrade pack for TotK $10?
Nima@leminal.space 2 months ago
I was throwing numbers out. I couldn’t remember what the price to play a game you already own on a device you just spent 500 bucks on was.
any dollar amount is absurd, frankly. well, imho anyway.
