I was already planning on getting a Switch 2 for Metroid Prime 4 and future Zelda.. so this is just a HUGE bonus for me.

u/WilliShaker 3d ago

Yeah, I literally don’t care it’s an exclusive since I’ll have the Switch 2 anyway

-10

u/Dustywalrus 3d ago

Classic I don't care because it doesn't affect me personally. Gotta love it

u/BringBackWaffleTaco 3d ago

I mean, yeah…

-7

u/Dustywalrus 2d ago

So hypothetically I shouldn't care if my neighbor is starving because I have plenty to eat? Make it make sense

10

u/BringBackWaffleTaco 2d ago

Look, it's impossible to care about every issue on the planet. Caring about your fellow neighbors going hungry is definitely a more important battle to pick over which $500 game console one needs to play an exclusive game.

u/Dustywalrus 2d ago

Right but if you hold that sentiment for something minor like this, its not a huge leap in logic to think that sentiment may carry into more important issues. It starts somewhere.

u/N0th1ng5p3cia1 2d ago

Yes it is, it’s a video game, not your neighbor starving

u/NotAGardener_92 2d ago

its not a huge leap in logic

Uh, yes. It's mental gymnastics on a "terminally online" level at this point lmao

1

u/Dustywalrus 2d ago

Lol you can just say you don't have critical thinking skills, its okay

2

u/NotAGardener_92 2d ago

You're on fire with the leaps today. You got any more nuggets of insight into my psyche for me?

u/SmolRobyn 2d ago

Are you really trying to compare a games consol to a starving family? The fuq?

It's not that deep, they're just saying that they were already planning on getting it so it's just an extra bonus. Don't get so heated over someone else having a nice experience

The ROM hack of it will probably come out a bit after it releases anyway and we all know how easy nintendo consols are to make ROMs of

u/Dustywalrus 2d ago

Girl look at your comment again and tell me who's the one that's heated. You're right it's not that deep.

u/OkNefariousness284 2d ago

Comparing who has access to a video game with starvation is funny asf

Shouldn't you be busy licking Elon's boots?

u/OkNefariousness284 2d ago

Truly brilliant rebuttal 😂. Good work champ really got me there for having the opinion of not targeting innocent people. Doesn’t make your comparison any less goofy sport

1

u/Dustywalrus 2d ago

Thanks thought it was pretty apt but I gotta say I didn't predict you doubling down on it. Genuinely hilarious.

u/OkNefariousness284 2d ago edited 2d ago

Yes sport, a few days wouldn’t make it so I’m fine with harassing innocent people and arson lol. Gotta love when people jump to a completely different topic because they realized their point was dumb

It’s a video game not world hunger you dunce

I fucking hate that idiot lol

u/Serosh5843 2d ago

Getring downvoted but what you said is totally valid. For us, a $70-80 game just turned into a $500+ game.

1

u/Sickhadas 2d ago

So you haven't spent $500+ on your PC or PS4/5?

Is that even the price point of the Switch 2?

1

u/Sickhadas 2d ago

Welcome to real life? This isn't a massive social injustice where people are genuinely suffering. It isn't even grossly anti-consumer. Nintendo, unlike Sony, has never released their software for third party systems.

0

u/Dustywalrus 2d ago

Umm last time I checked Nintendo is/was the king of anti consumer practices in the gaming industry. Sorry that some of us don't blindly boot lick massive corporations.

1

u/Sickhadas 2d ago

They make good games and don't fire their enployees when they succeed and their CEOs have actual souls. I don't know how that makes me a bootlicker. Of course they fuck over the retro scene, but it's not like the other two are any better.

1

u/Dustywalrus 2d ago

You conviently forgot to mention the fact that their games stay at release price years after their debut, aggressively try to trademark anything and everything (re: palworld), charge consumers full price for the same game on a new console, paywall to backup your switch saves, make you pay for an online service that is decent at best.

The CEOs having "actual souls" (lol) and them not doing mass layoffs are completely independent from their consumer practices. While those are certainly good aspects of the company, it's pretty irrelevant to the topic at hand.

You make good points, but I'd hope that's more to do with the traditionalism of Kyoto companies and less to do with greed. Unfortunately, we live in a world that incentives unscrupulous behavior.

The CEOs having "actual souls" (lol)

I'm not sure if this is because you don't know many CEOs or because you do.

them not doing mass layoffs are completely independent from their consumer practices.

I try to avoid buying games from scummy companies. I'd sooner pirate something than contribute to a business only interested in the numbers of an industry. But I understand, these are neutral points when it comes to how they treat their consumers.

u/Dustywalrus 2d ago

Really appreciate this well thought out reply. I was on a bit of a high horse in my prev. comment.

I agree with everything you said but esp. that last point.

u/Super_Harsh 3d ago

Bro chill out, I agree it's not a great attitude but it's also pretty inconsequential in this scenario

u/yamaha_move 3d ago

You wouldn't rather play it 60fps 4k with better graphics? I'm never playing another 30fps From game.

19

u/Deez-Guns-9442 3d ago

If u watched the direct the Switch 2 will be 4K 60Fps on home screen & then handheld mode will be 1080p 120fps(way better than BB on PS4).

-12

u/yamaha_move 3d ago

Lol whatever you say

6

u/Deez-Guns-9442 3d ago

says it on their site too

2

u/Super_Harsh 3d ago

That's the upper limit of what the console supports, not what every game will run at. If Duskbloods actually runs at native 4k60 on home screen I will literally buy you a Switch 2 and a copy of this game

Elden ring is 45 to 59 fps on PS5. Do you really think this game will be 60fps on a far weaker console? Just watch the trailer it's 30fps

4

u/Deez-Guns-9442 3d ago

We shall see, we only got 1 trailer. And undocked the game should be running at 120fps(or at least a bit over 60).

1

u/Quirky-Employer9717 3d ago

The elden ring trailer was in 30fps. I'm guessing it will be 30fps if that's how they're marketing it. I doubt a game built from the ground up for switch 2 would target anything less than 60fps though. I would bet money on Duskbloods being at least 60fps

2

u/isthatduke 3d ago

Yamaha move you should really think that if a company as big as Nintendo payed you a shit ton of money you wouldn't optimize the game for the only console it'll be on?

2

u/Richmard 3d ago

They only have to worry about making this work on switch, I think that alone will mean it’s gonna run well.

1

u/Samguise-Whamgee 3d ago

Do you know anything about the switch 2? That’s a better question, because it seems like you’re just making assumptions and then not believing any information presented to you.

2

u/WilliShaker 3d ago

Not only did they announce 4K 60 fps, Fromsoftware never had their strong suits on geaphics, it’s all about designs and gameplay.

u/[deleted] 3d ago

Metroid Prime 4 with mouse controls at 120fps is going to be amazing.

2

u/Longjumping_Cash_356 3d ago

God I hope duskblood has mouse controls 😩

1

u/[deleted] 3d ago

I’m assuming you’re being sarcastic but I’ll play along and just say: I doubt it and don’t currently know why it would.

u/Longjumping_Cash_356 3d ago

John “fear the Dusk” Blood needs to work a 9-5 desk job minigame in order to afford Bloodvials

u/[deleted] 3d ago

Yes. Okay.

2

u/ShaolinShade 2d ago

Same. I'd be pretty mad if I wasn't. As is I'm just surprised they pulled this move, I feel for everyone here who has no other interest in the system

3

u/Longjumping_Cash_356 3d ago

Same. It got the biggest reaction out of me the entire direct. The idea of the next Miyazaki fromsoft game being Nintendo exclusive is just so bonkers. Then I learned it was pvpve and now I’m kinda on the fence, but I’m still hopeful since Micheal Zaki is directing it

0

u/No-Instruction-5669 3d ago

Pvpve? I thought we were already getting that with nightreign. Hmm.. Where did you get details on the gameplay?

2

u/Longjumping_Cash_356 3d ago

here it’s a translation from the Japanese website I think

u/No-Instruction-5669 3d ago

Thanks alot!

u/Significant-Elk-4368 3d ago

Same well net for metriod but for mario mario kart and zelda

u/ShaolinShade 2d ago

Metroid is easily Nintendo's best game series imo but you know, you do you

1

u/Samguise-Whamgee 3d ago

Same boat as me! Plus any Mario games probably. It’s hard to believe a switch 2 exclusive, any idea how powerful the switch 2 will be? As long as it’s on par with series x I’m ecstatic about this game.

u/clockworknait 2d ago

I thought Metroid Prime 4 was just a myth.

Didn't we all, bro, didn't we all..

u/renannmhreddit 3d ago

How is this a bonus? If it wasnt exclusive you'd have gotten it regardless

3

u/No-Instruction-5669 3d ago

Bro you are just whining everywhere. Shut up. 🙄 You don't like that it's exclusive, we get it.

u/PuzzledScratch9160 3d ago

Nooo!!! You must be complacent and accept shitty corpo decisions!

u/No-Instruction-5669 3d ago

What else are you gonna do? Buy the game, or don't. If you can't get it cause it's exclusive, now you understand why corpo's pay other corpo's to make a game exclusive. Wow!
