As Snoy and Microshit double down on evil, Nintendo holds the line for us gamers and as long as they exist so will real games for real fans. Fact.Hate on them all you want but this industry wouldnt even exist if it wasnt for Nintendo.
Agreed, Nintendo is the last bastion of physical, I am never touching a snoy product ever again.>Muh Key-CardsI don't buy those, all Nintendo games are fully physical anyway.
>>743357079glad the Switch 2 game case went back to unique spine for each game
For the games thats fully on the switch 2 card thing, do you just put it in and install the game to the hard drive from the card?
>>743357079Nintendo only keeps physical because japs are know for being stubborn about new tecnology.
Real chads know PC + Nintendo is the best way to experience games
>>743357501No you can just start the game from the card. Like it’s supposed to be.
>>743357079Not to be gay (like all OP), but I like customising my Steam library like this.
>>743357732it's okay to be gay anon, just don't be a fag
>>743357839too true
>>743357679Huh, they still do that? Thought it was impossible.
>>743357079Hi Nintenbros, as a long term snoy and gabecuck, I now have a switch 2. Playing through Fire Emblem Engage atm. Happy to be here, avoiding keycards though.
>>743357986Yeah they do.
>>743357986on disc, it is impossible since load time from the disk reader is slow as fuck
>>743357986They still do it because Nintendo wants you to have fun
>>743357079Normalfag collection
>>743357986Cartridges have high data reading speed unlike discs. If you were alive for the whole N64 / PS1 console war you'd know.
>>743357648Due to everything releasing on the switch now, even games that steam bans, the switch 2 is making a gaming PC rather redundant.
>>743357232Game key cards are kind of an own goal, makes selling used games and renting more attractive. What's the point of owning something you don't own?
>>743358464>If you were alive for the whole N64 / PS1 console war you'd know.akshually a lot of the games today people wank as ps1 classics like the crash bandicoots and CTR have surprisingly fast load times, so it goes over a lot of people's headsthe ones that had load times that get wanked nobody plays so it doesn't matter to them anyway
>>743357079No SonyNo MicroslopBoth are the enemy.
>>743358842fun factyou can also download key card games wirelessly from someone else if they've downloaded it
>>743357079GKCs still exist so it's not perfect.
>>743357079>KiddieshitYeah no. I don't have the taste of a literal toddler so Nintendo means nothing to me
>>743358771Yeah, I love playing games at 720p and 30fps!
>>743358932GKCs are a measure to kill code in box shit so they get a pass in my book as long as third party niggers aren't trying to sell them for the full in-cart price.
>>743357079Fact
>>743359008you care more about how a game looks than actually playing it
>>743359008we are talking about the switch, not pc tho
>>743359009>GKCs are a measure to kill code in box shitIt is a measure to make you pay for the storage and get people used to digital games when the Switch 3 won't have a cart reader.Also:>if 99% of Switch 2 games need a download it was worth to avoid having a few dozen CIB shit (btw almost all those games has complete cart releases in other regions)
>>743359228hmm, wonder what could be the issue here...>Electronic Arts is the publisher for Split Fiction on the Nintendo Switch. L O Ljust dont buy it then, the game is literal slop for foids in the first place
Can cartridge tech get better in the future with even faster read speed? 400 mb/s might not be fast enough for next gen games, we need 1 gb/s
>>743359228>It is a measure to make you pay for the storage and get people used to digital games when the Switch 3 won't have a cart reader.2 More weeks.I also heard this the entire switch generation due to the constant code in box and "voucher cart" (basically a GKC) shit all gen.
>>743357079Those cases are sick. Where did you get those prints from?
>>743359330If CIB is just don't buy then then what was the problem? Most Switch 1 games got proper cart releases, CIB and cloud games were a fraction of all cart releases. Meanwhile almost every single Switch 2 game is GKC.
>>743359392>Meanwhile almost every single Switch 2 game is GKC.what do anti-nintendofags get out of nuking their credibility with lies not even normgroids believe anymore?
>>743359158I can get the best of both worlds on PC. Can you say the same on Switch?
>>743358771Ok switch vegan, but I still want my mods and non shit graphics + framerate
>>743359371https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1km18qrL_ARYE-3qKUIT81FoMEyvI-8vf?usp=sharing
>>743359475>switch veganfor the so called PCMR, even your "no u"s are portsguess it's fitting when the only stuff PC vegans ever claim to play is emulated stuff
>>743359362Most games were complete on cart for the Switch 1. Most games are not on Switch 2. There is a big difference between certain publishers being assholes and get shit on the community and EVERYONE using GKC as "an option".It is the same dishonest argument like claiming you can not play the overwhelming majority of PS/Xbox games without an online patch because Call of Duty does that.
nintendo only make baby game
>>743359538Struck a nerve I see
>>743359475>but I still want my mods and non shit graphics + framerateGood for you.
>>743359009GKCs are definitely better than code-in-box but there are more of them this generation.
>>743359160How does that affect my PC?
>>743359429Gotcha shitter because I have every console and PC. Don't think you can play these games with me. Not even Nintendo releases are safe.
>>743359561>>743359621>Most games are not in cart on Switch 2.this is only true if you only ever play westoid goyslop tho
>>743359618Yes, now shut the fuck about redundancy when you are objectively wrongWake me up once the switch 2 gets hacked so we can get overclock mods and layeredFS working on that turd
>>743359653capcom, squeenix and atlus games are mostly (all?) GKCs
>>743359662Sounds nice to have.Good for you.
>>743359158And yet you proceed to beg AND pay for switch 2 enhanced upgrades
>>743359717>westoid goyslop (but from western companies operating in japan) games are mostly (all?) GKCsis this supposed to prove me wrong how exactly?
>>743359653The same goyslop Nintendo fans can't stop consuming because they look better than Nintendo games ever will? The same slop they didn't want when the Switch 1 was too weak for them (TRUE fans only buy Nintendo systems for Nintendo games) yet gobble up the moment the Switch 2 was good enough for 20fps 540p upscale?
>>743359752next level cope
>>743359736>PCvegan too poor to pay $10 (free if you have NSO) for curated 120FPS 4K patchesPCvegans are the worst fanbase in /v/, literal favela steamie cultists
>>743359752Put the goalposts down.
>>743359753Are you really that desperate to play "woke DEI girlboss simulator #5689349384"?
do pc vegans and snoys even play games or do they just cry about nintendo and the switches all day?
>>743359857do tendies play games or just force autistic memes all day?
>>743359869Even your "no u"s are ports.
>>743359857>starts losing the argument>accuses others of not playing gamesMany such cases
>>743359885rich from a switchfag

>>743359857Guess who created this thread
>>743357986>>743358083They still do it because the MANUFACTURE them. Jesus. Have you ever looked into how game publishing works? You want a game on our console? Good. Pay us publishing rights AND royalties. And of course you have to buy empty supports from us since we're the only one manufacturing them.I'm so fucking tired of this NiNteNdO WanTs Us tO be HapPy. Have you ever asked yourself why Nintendo used proprietary tech from it inception? Even optical supports were proprietary. Because they can have the monopoly of producing them. What Sony is doing IS shit. A thousand times. But Nintendo is no better.
>>743359946The goysloppa trio of vaginal enix, crapcom and shitga haven't been japanese in over a decade.SE hasn't been japanese since the PS1 era, capcom since the N64 era, and sega pretty much always was a west first company.
>>743357638>>743357079My pic is old but the most tasteless thing is a switch 'collection' and its 90% mario games. I call them walmart collections because there is nothing exotic, interesting about them and course they can be bought at such a low brow place as walmart. Its just pedestrian tier. I can probably post newer pics upon request
>>743359998Nintendo still sells them ,Sony won't be. There's no comparison here.
>>743360028>neptunia is theredidn't they claim even nintendo japan blacklisted them or something?
>>743360013sure thing sport, nobody except nintendo is truly japanese
arent some of the games just a download code and not the game?
>>743357079>holds the linenintendo is encouraging buying digital by making it cheaper and game key cards are a method to make physical shittier so less people buy ittendies are frogs getting boiled and they think it's global warming
>>743360197>nintendo is encouraging buying digital by making it cheaperOne of the original promises of digital distribution is those copies being cheaper due to not having physical distribution costs.Nintendo is the only one actually fulfilling their end of this promise.How the fuck is this supposed to be a bad thing?
>>743359857What games are you playing then?I own a PS5 and a PC and I've been playing and enjoying First Light, Pragmata, RE Requiem and Hades 2 all in the past few months.
>>743359998nintendo doesn't make the carts, they use a 3rd party manufacturer
>>743360234>How the fuck is this supposed to be a bad thing?nintendo is making more money on a digital sale than they are on a physical sale, it's a move that makes things more profitable for them while myopic retards see it as a measure of goodwillthey're at the point where they feel comfortable violating the price parity agreement because physical is going extinctmake no mistake, their endgame is control through digital only distribution and they're really just taking it slow
>>743360324>blah blah blah schizobabblelol
>>743360234nintendo can NEVER do anything good
>>743360080They just rereleased 1-4 LEs and there was also a collection that had the first 3 or 4 games in one package recentlyI remember reading something like that as well. But it may just be NoA that were the shy ones since these are east asia soft releases.
>>743360349>nintendo loves me so i'll just keep plugging my earscompanies think like women, they have ulterior motivesand you don't interact with women so you don't know this
>>743360303of course they have a manufactoring chain but the point is you have to buy them trough Nintendo. They have the copyright and are the only ones that can sell cards to you.
>>743360375Not even a NoA thing specifically, calamity angels released early this year even on muttland long after they claimed nintendo blacklisted them everywhere.Not even neptunia specifically when unlimited is releasing everywhere including the switch 2 and they said to expect a release overseas down the line.
>>743360478that's the 30% cut nintendo gets, the same with valve getting 30% from their steam store, or sony's PSN. what's the problem?
>>743360028>I can probably post newer pics upon requestMaybe I'll post mine as well. I just need to place them down, but am too lazy for that.
I'm glad a lot of stores match the digital price for nintendo's discount so the physical is also 10 bucks less, at least for pre-order
>>743358110Thisalso söý, reddit, performative even
>>743360607You're talking about publishing rights and royalties. Valve doesn't force you to buy anything if you want to publish a game on Steam; you just have to pay for the right to do so and give them a cut of the sales. Nintendo does the same thing, but ON TOP OF THAT, they also force you to buy the media. It's not 30%, it's an additional expense.
>>743360709yeah thats kino
>>743360674Ok, I placed them down.I have some of these in digital form as well, hence the reason why they are sealed.
>>743361780I'm so jealous of that Astral Chain collector's edition, who knew that game was going to be so good
>>743361780>romancing saga>engage>unicorn overlord>star ocean>raidoubased
>>743357079Nintendo has a sizable audience of actual children who can't really make accounts.
>>743357079>Normalizing $80 gamesFuck them, their games are shit too.I stay on PC.
>>743361857I wanted to buy CE for new Fire Emblem, but it's sold out here. Unlike Engage, which was probably in every store. I mean, I'm not crazy for collector's or limited editions, but some of them are just too good and worth the extra money.>>743361927It's nice to see a fellow SaGa fan. :)
>>743362109I'm just curious about one thing. In 2028. Nintendo Switch 2 will be the only console with physical media. Will you then except the 80 dollarinos price tag (Sony is to blame here, if you really want to know), or will you cry how those should be 20 at max?
>>743362109the ones that normalized $80 games was sony, nigga
>>743359228>Switch 3 won't have a cart reader.That would be pretty stupid because an SD card reader costs about $2 to manufacture, unlike a disc drive with moving parts, lenses, a laser, etc.However, the problem is that SD cards themselves are expensive. Game Key Cards are more about trying to encourage developers to release their games in a "physical" format than about pushing for digital, because the cards used by the Switch 2 must cost about $20 to produce, so a huge portion of the profit per copy sold disappears immediately... The Game Key Card, by comparison, probably costs nothing...The problem is that, because of this, most companies will opt for the GKC, even if their games fit comfortably on the actual cards...
i'd be halfway satisfied if Sony would at least let you connect the detachable ps5 disc drive to the ps6 for backwards compatibility
>>743362628devs are already rightfully getting bullied into putting their shit in-cart niggaif konami of all people can put a rom collection in-cart then anyone can
>>743360478it's an open standard, retard. The tech is not proprietary, Sony could just as well make their own if they made a handheld console.>>743357986Nintendo basically was the first one to adopt sd express format, which is very new and makes this possible. So much for "they are 2 gens behind!" cope.
>>743360028>le epik Claude meme!
>>743357079>Hate on them all you want but this industry wouldnt even exist if it wasnt for Nintendo.
>>743357079Your son has a nice collection for a 10 years old. My 10 year old self would be jealous.
>>743358903Only if you've already started the download because you need the tile to even get to the option to get it locally from another machine meaning you need an internet connection and the ability to download the game anyway.
>>743362935>it's an open standardtf are you talking about
>>743362628GKC are a good test as to what a company thinks of it's customers, if it's a full game cart that company respects it's customers, if it's a game key card that company does not respect it's customers, if it's a code in a box that company actively hates it's customers.
>>743363543they didn't patent "digital key on a physical device"sony could make a cart, like the vita did, and put a digital key signature on it.
>>743366853I don't get this deflection. Sony can make the fuck they want but it does not invalidate the fact that Nintendo is asking 3 fees to publish a game instead of 2. Sony has (had) standard optical formats which a lot of manufacturers make and sell. They did not have the monopoly on their physical media hence do not force publishers to buy blank cds from them. It's not that hard.
>>743367197>They did not have the monopoly on their physical media hence do not force publishers to buy blank cds from them. It's not that hard.So other companies can still make physical games for the PS5 after 2028? It was all a nothing burger?
>>743362628>must cost aboutIsn't it interesting these companies could defend their decision instantly by simply telling us the price of the carts (apparently there are smaller ones out there now) and GKCs? People would understand if there was a 90% difference or something.Yet they don't tell us. Wonder why.
