God I love Day9. I don’t have as much time to watch him like I used to (before wife and kids), but I’m glad he posts streams to YouTube.
This is off-topic, but the video of revisiting his Amnesia playthrough made my freaking year.
I agree with your post, though. 99% of the time, Day9 has an amazing grasp of how to communicate ideas and mechanics clearly. It’s that 1% that just kills me! 😂
The title makes it seem like they’re putting these pics on the Steam page. Or at least that’s what it seemed like to me.
But they’re actually sneaking these pictures into these capsules you can find in the game. Normally these capsules have screenshots from other players’ games. Now players have found screenshots that are from the sequel (presumably). That’s really cool!
OMG, I would lose mind over remasters!!! The story, writing, voice-acting, and design were all amazing. Gameplay was OK. Maybe they could give that an upgrade!
That’s true, but using older, less expensive hardware had almost always been part of Nintendo’s business model. A cheaper console allows them to invest in game development–time, talent, and just money. If they used cutting-edge tech, they would have thinner margins (or even lose money on the console at first as Sony and Microsoft have done in the past), which would give them less to invest into game development. Nintendo spent an entire (extra) year just tweaking and polishing TotK; if they had thinner margins from the Switch, there would probably have been more pressure to release it earlier, which would have given us a less refined game.
I’d love it if we could have both great games and cutting-edge graphics, but at the end of the day, I’ll still take good games every time.
If Nintendo being “one generation behind once again” means I get more games like Breath of the Wilds, Mario Odyssey, Metroid Dread, and Tears of the Kingdom (just to name a few of the incredible first-party games this generation), then I’m fine with that!
