Streamers will.. devs don't make money on little Timmy that is allowed a $2 purchase. They make money on streamers that "I BUY EVERYTHING IN GAME X!" (Shocked face)

I've only seen a trailer but it really looked like a generic mobile game that happens to look like Warcraft.

If it's a good discount then I finally may go for it.

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.

Not sure if you're into this. But Warframe.

It's free, optional IAP to get stuff faster but not in a P2W way. Everything is possible to get free if you sink in time and/or be social and trade/sell stuff for premium currency so you still can buy stuff you want.

Game is loaded with content. Steep learning curve but when the game 'clicks' you're sucked in. There is a story that will make you go "wtf?" and that part is widely known as the "you completed the 30 hour tutorial. Now the game begins".

It's playable solo, recently added cross play which makes playing with others more easy and there are parts that are public where you can interact with everyone there. That makes it feel as an MMO.

The devs are active on Lemmy [email protected] is the official Lemmy page since they moved from Reddit.

Swiitch U

But honestly I'd like a Super Switch as in Super Nintendo

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's the manual for Pro 2. Not Ultimate.

The official page doesn't mention Android as a compatible OS to work on.

How is that a reason? Never had this issue before
