Porting to PC isn’t minimal effort. It takes a lot of dev time to optimize and make it run well on the wide variety of PC hardware, not to mention the additional PC specific technologies like DLSS that often get implemented. First game had quite a few performance issues at launch that were ironed out over the span of several months.
The point isn’t that it’s quite literally free. It’s a figure of speech.
Between taking a game you’ve already completed and is already popular and reworking it to sell to a brand new audience… versus creating a new AAA title, which one is more expensive?

It still runs like garbage on my 13700K and 3060Ti, depending on the area. Sometimes, High settings are fine, but way too often I have to drop down to “Original” to get somewhat acceptable FPS (>40) at 1440p with Balanced DLSS. Am I doing something wrong, or was it just even worse at launch?
The appeal of Nintendo console is first party exclusives and whatever the new gimmick may be (I don’t mean that word as a bad thing, I have loved most of their gimmicks). Powerful hardware just means that it can potentially have a good third party support, so that you’re not left playing just the first party games.
Specifically, they’re cutting off purchases of new games - but people can still download games they own.
The PS3, I believe, did this a while back. Up to a point, patching the device’s internet security so that the credit card info isn’t stolen in transit takes more effort than it’s worth. But, letting people still download their games has no real internet security risk.
One question that lingers in my mind though, is whether you can still buy new games using a desktop browser. I think that was something PS3 allowed for for some time.
I think it’s opposite with the PS3. They kept the option to buy PS3 games because of reactions. But it’s only possible through the PS3, so the PS3 games won’t clutter PSN.
Purchases of new games on the Xbox 360 console itself. You will still be able to purchase Xbox 360 games on a newer console or their website then download them to your 360 console.
Call it the SuperSwitch to mimic the nes -> supernes era. No new gimmick, just double the specs and ride the wave of portable consoles being “good enough”. Rival the steam deck and all the clones coming, with Nintendo’s amazing first party titles and milk the next 5-7 years
Founded in 1985, Rare is one of the UK’s most historic game developers, best known for Battletoads, Donkey Kong Country, GoldenEye 007, and Banjo-Kazooie.
Microsoft acquired Rare in 2002, and it has since gone on to create titles such as Kameo, Viva Piñata, Kinect Sports, and Sea of Thieves under the Xbox banner.
Says it all, really. Rare has been mismanaged into the ground for the past 20+ years.
Yea we loved that game. Overcooked 1 and 2, moving out. Currently playing Minecraft again, teaching our daughter to play it. RE 5 had a good balance of fighting and puzzles.
I don’t think he’s particularly strident here or anything in Japanese, but the headline here would have been better off sticking with the machine translated “nothing has changed” in the article.
There isn’t any optimism in Matsuno’s words here. I would have added “as always” to “economic disparity remains the same” and “again” to his comments about armed conflicts. He sounds tired of the cycle.
The fact that they are adding more features and modding for these fan ports is incredible, I just hope that Nintendo doesn't come in and shut down these fan ports like they like to do with fan games/projects/etc.
Cuz it’s egomaniacal behavior. He thinks he’s so cool and unique and innovative that his ideas are worth something even after he perishes, sometime in the next TWENTY or so years. It’s not like he’s bedridden right now.
This is the first console generation where I bought and sold a console before the next gen came along. I got one of those PS5 emails while they were still somewhat limited, and decided to jump on it like a dumbass. Two years later, sold it to recoup the cost of my Steam Deck. The only real exclusive it has that I played was the Demon’s Souls remake, and that just wasn’t enough to convince me to keep it around. Looks like the other exclusives I have missed out on since then is…(checks notes)…Astro Bot…and that’s it. Oh well.
This game looks fuccen sicc. So whatever else is in store, the artists know what’s up at least. Don’t see a reason to hate on this as bald chicks are a huge part of that aesthetic. I better only see bald and half or partially shaved heads.
