I pirated more in the past than I do now. Big difference is that I can now afford it to pay for games.

Currently I’m more a retro games pirate. Older games are pretty much harmless to pirate.

You pirate with the intention to buy. IMO you’re one of the best possible pirates. A lot of people might never purchase a game unless it’s really necessary for online play or something.

For the people who don’t know. This was a Stadia exclusive game. Great to see it finally reach other platforms

Found it already… https://pretendo.network

Online services for 3DS and Wii U

Guess it’s a matter of time before someone creates a mod for the systems to enable online play again

Yap, find the deal that fits you. Buy it and don’t look back. Accept it that you found it valuable enough to buy it.

Played the game on Stadia. I enjoyed it and ironically it was the best platform to play the game on.

This 2.0 seems like it’s a whole new game. Or even this is what the game should’ve been from the start

4K is possible now with DLSS 3.5 and FRS3 tech. Although upscaled it would give a good quality image or at least a big FPS bump.

Hehe… nugget…

Oh Doc this is heavy!

Image is mock up, no official images are released yet

Ubisoft is allowed to stream CoD? But Ubi doesn’t have a streaming service? Or is CoD allowed to be on Ubi+ which enables Ubi+ subscribers to play the games through GFN / Luna?

Ubisoft was a great Stadia supporter. I’m kinda hoping they will get hold of the Stadia tech somehow and start their own streaming service.

Well officially you already waived your warranty by opening it yourself. So even sending it in Nintendo might noticed you already did that and won’t do anything about your issue.

Doesn’t it work at all anymore? Even connected directly to the screen?

Or maybe just the LED’s aren’t working (and with that likely the Sl and Sr as well) but still making a wireless connection?

And why did you open it in the first place? What was wrong?

It’s the streaming part for me.

Few years ago there was Netflix and Film1 in our country and an ISP with TV that also had a movie service.

That was about it.

Now there’s Prime Video, Disney+, HBO Max, SkyShowtime, Apple TV+ and ViaPlay added to it.

It’s impossible to have have just 1 and view what you want. Ofcourse you can keep on switching but some of them but it’s all just making it more complicated.

Solution? Pirate it. One source and everything available even stuff that isn’t on any on those services.

Also some movies can’t be bought digital.

IMO all movies and series should be available on any platform and let the streaming service decide if they want to have it in their portfolio. Only the “originals” should be locked to a platform to keep stuff unique.

And make every damn movie and series available for purchase.

Pretty much the same.

Create a session with a friend both be on the main menu. Then both select card pop and you’re done. You’ll both get a random card.

With a lot of luck you’ll get one of the 2 rare cards that were exclusive to the game.

You can only pop once with a friend until you popped with 15 other people after. After that the first ID is overwritten and your friend will be seen as new.

Yes, you can host/join an online session with a friend and play like you did with the link cable.

So online TCG sessions are possible. Also trading and even Card Pop! that only worked through the infra red is functional.

Not out-powering I know but if they have something better than now then it’s easier to choose for Nintendo again instead of a Steam Deck or something similar

A lot of the owners already got their system 4+ years. Likely more. People are going to look into more powerful hardware some day. Nintendo should be ahead of that and let them be the one with the more powerful hardware.

Almost 7 years later you would think everyone who wants one, already got one.

Sales are already declining. And if Switch 2 has full backward compatibly it wouldn’t at least hurt sales of games since those games will run the same but hopefully better on the new hardware.

Without backward compatibly some people might skip games in order to save it for the new hardware

Not really… paid items aren’t stronger than free items.

For example to get a new Warframe (your armor/character with unique abilities)

Free:

• Find/grind Blueprints for head, chest and legs
• Find components to build the parts (building takes time like 12h real time, you don’t need to stay online/play the game)
• build Warframe (takes 24h real time)

Paid:

• Buy blueprints
• Find components to build parts
• Buy away the wait time
• Build Warframe
• Buy away the wait time

End result:

Exactly the same Warframe. You only need to grind less and wait less.

Every item/weapon/Warframe needs to be mastered. Either paid or free you’ll need to play missions to level up your gear so you can attach mods to make it stronger. Mods are found in game or can be bought. Mods also need to be levelled up by gameplay to be better.

So in the end you only get the base stuff faster but everyone is required to play to get better.

Als some paid items are simply for more inventory space like extra weapon/Warframe slots. That way you can keep some more stuff instead of dumping/selling it to make room for new stuff.

To level up in Warframe it’s necessary to keep using stuff you haven’t used before. When you stay on your own gear you’ll never really progress. But leveling up with new gear enables you to power up older gear as well.

And since it’s mostly PvE you don’t lose or miss out on paying players. If you solo stuff or are playing with friends then you’re pretty much never in contact with a paid player.

If you play with random players then it is possible to have a higher skilled (either free or paid) player in your team that might make specific missions easier to do. But still that’s totally up to you.

From all the F2P out there I personally believe Warframe to be the best game that handles their premium paid stuff without hurting free players.

The game seems complex, in the beginning it feel overwhelming. But don’t be afraid to ask for help and search the Warframe wiki. The community is very friendly and the Wiki will guide you as well.

If this all is true then it’s a matter of time before stuff gets leaked.

Kinda hoping that the September direct will announce something. The Switch itself was announced in October 2016. The September Direct was focused on 3DS back then.
