and we see people counter with their opinion because they love the company.

How about.... please stick with me here..... you made a fucking new MK game from the ground up and not simply take shit you already released to cut your costs yet release it at the full price.

in theory all this is, is just like a DLC pack for the wii u, but insted nintendo profit more by making it a "new game".

And you only counter with you see he is a fanboy "argument" makes sense :D.

Trying to make profit something no other company on earth does. well you are really one sided on this matter obviously.
Have fun writing more really constructive complains ;)

So yet again I have to repeat my question in that how is what Nintendo have done with Mario Kart 8 any different than what what Sony did with TLOU, and why is it that when you yourself buys TLOU for PS4 that's all fine and dandy but God forbid somebody buys Mario Kart 8 delux on Switch, death to "Nintendont" blah blah blah.

You're just a hypocrite and a troll. You repeat endlessly the same tired shit in every single post, why do you think we were interested in your opinion the first hundred times that we need to listen to it for another hundred?

I don't even disagree with some of your points, in the past, that I heard months and months ago. I just don't see why you are still making them, again and again and again, oh actually I do see why it's because you're just a troll with nothing new to say or add.

How about you make a thread, put all your opinions in them and just link to it everyday. The content of your posts are always the same anyway, it would save you time rewriting the same old shit day after day and then maybe you can find someone to agree with for a change.

One TLOU is not sony.... its is ND who have given sony the exclusive rights to TLOU....

and im not even going to say anything other than what was put above, cant be bothered really because it will only give ammo to twist to another direction.

end of the day.

MK8 DX is just MK8 WII U recycled with what could have been DLC content, but nintendo put it to the switch so it fools people into thinking its a new game.

and theyre already bragging how great it is and paid off reveiwers giving it 10/10..... its the same fucking game that only got 9/10 on the switch so how the fuck does recycling the same game with DLC, thats like saying a game that was 8/10 is now actually 10/10 because its dlc content?

well ok sorry for the fanboy wording, but then again how do we also see nintendo lovers slating other consoles for aparent lacking of games or ports, yet these ports cant be found on other systems unlike nintendo you can find dating back from the nes.

get my drift now, nintendo re release the same titles on every console they release and of late, nothing really changes.

where are all the new titles?

take RE HD port i see you skipped, where was the treatment to its nintendo fans, after all its remake and 0/4 started off on the cube...... now ask why and here lies the reason to why nintendo dont get support, and its the way nintendo are and what nintendo release and how they project themselves to be.

so when they fail to improve this support, then comes their next console and again come out the same cum dribble shite "we will improve third party support"..... yea ill believe that when i see it.

name me one AAA title from a third party thats coming to the switch.......

Very disappointed that Mario kart 8 is being sold at full price. However, just one game being ported for a newer system doesn't mean Nintendo "rehashes" the same game everytime. On a similar note, I only ever but Nintendo consoles because Sony and Microsoft consoles are essentially low grade computers that offer the same experience. The Wii, Wii U, 3ds, and Switch all offer different means of playing games. I don't trust the opinion of people who own both and Xbox and PS4 alongside a gaming PC that criticise Nintendo so heavily.

I don't know. Sure, it's a rehash of the same series, but from what I can see and hear, it's almost like a new game. Rebalanced carts, new and rebalanced characters, new battle modes, 200cc time trials, third tier drift boost, double items, etc. What should have been DLC? Well, isn't that just what you think? There are other enhanced ports from PS4/XBOne that includes DLC in one new package and people gobble them up especially when the games have very little difference besides having better graphics, performance, and textures. (Kinda like, idk, The Last of Us Remastered?)

Nintendo isn't fooling anyone and it's obviously because it's getting high scores because the reviewers enjoyed the game that much. And paid reviews? Where's the proof/source that they're paying reviewers? Enough with that crappy claim when you have no evidence to prove that when you sound so salty about it getting high scores.

Right now, the Switch has sold really well around the world already and more third parties will take notice of it and maybe even join in after seeing its potential for all gamers alike. Skyrim is a AAA title coming to the Switch that I know at the top of my head so far.

Nintendo lost third party support for a variety of reasons and Nintendo IS trying to fix and improve it. I mean, Switch dev kits costs like less than $500. A lot cheaper than the Wii U, PS4, and XBOne dev kits so any dev can get one easily. Also, Unreal Engine 4 fully supports the Switch, so titles that use UE4 can be ported to Switch at some point in the future.

Just play what you want to play. Buy games you want to buy.

Im buying it but dont really see any changes... more additions which could have just been DLC anyway.
It's essentially the same game but with new content and features. Is it worth buying? Yeah, but if you can find it for a good, reasonable price.

I don't see a big deal with this "problem". Nintendo ported a WiiU game to the Switch. Like other games going from 360 to xbone... Only this time, Nintendo fixed a few issues and added more modes along the way.

and i have stated about the OTT of last gen titles being ported, hate the fact you have to buy them again because MS/SONY didnt include BC to allow you to play the games you already own, the problem here is take mario kart DD, then look at the others since, its basically the same thing with graphical updates, yes these so called new features in MK8 DX are what youd consider as content youd find in DLC.

so again, buy a new console to have nintendo simply recycle an old game rather than make one new.

Nintendo isn't fooling anyone and it's obviously because it's getting high scores because the reviewers enjoyed the game that much. And paid reviews? Where's the proof/source that they're paying reviewers? Enough with that crappy claim when you have no evidence to prove that when you sound so salty about it getting high scores

yet seems MK8 DX nintendo (on their FB) are bragging about perfect review scores, same as they are with Zelda and you play it thinking WTF is this crap, youll get Mario and youll play it thinking hold up its basically MK8 all over again with some slight changes......

Right now, the Switch has sold really well around the world already and more third parties will take notice of it and maybe even join in after seeing its potential for all gamers alike. Skyrim is a AAA title coming to the Switch that I know at the top of my head so far.

point made before, thanks, yes now that nintendo have finaly caught up with hardware we can now see devs release OLD games, dude seriously i own and completed skyrim on my PS3 years ago and i did predict because its a known fact that third parties will port its old titles now that nintendo have caught up, but name me one AAA title thats new.

and sorry, the wii out sold the PS3/360 but it failed to get versions of third party AAA titles, simply because of cost to have a dev team make the game to run on nintendo's hardware, if you care to look back the proof is there.

Nintendo lost third party support for a variety of reasons and Nintendo IS trying to fix and improve it. I mean, Switch dev kits costs like less than $500. A lot cheaper than the Wii U, PS4, and XBOne dev kits so any dev can get one easily. Also, Unreal Engine 4 fully supports the Switch, so titles that use UE4 can be ported to Switch at some point in the future.

Just play what you want to play. Buy games you want to buy.

nintendo have been trying and promising to improve its third party support since the n64/cube and so on, just because its dev kit is cheap doesnt mean production of making a AAA title thats coming to XBX1/PS4 is going to be cheaper for the dev because they will have to pay a seperate team to make the AAA game solely for the switch hardware and again just because it supports UE4, doesnt mean it will run the same titles because it lacks the hardware.

and this last part is what ive been saying from the get go, it lacks the games, when the fans claim it has the best first party exclusives..... well then comes MK8 DX..... now lets remove nintendo titles shall we, what else do nintendo consoles have??? here been the issue i have with nintendo.

because youd expect this from 3rd parties not first party, again lets buy a new console with old recycled games from the first party.

its understandable if a third party makes a multi platform game and if its recent then release it for the next gen console too, but MK8 wii u isnt really new is it.

i mean come on its a game from 2014...... your paying full whack to nintendont for recycling a game thats 3 years old.

For alot of us, MK8D is not a rehash, as we didn't bother with the WiiU and thus didn't play MK8. Me personally, it's a totally new game.

regardless if you played it or not, doesnt change the fact its MK8 wii u recycled.

thats like saying if a tree fell in the woods and didnt make a sound because you wasnt there to hear it, regardless that tree did make a sound.

This I agree with, the price of Switch games in general, especially the remasters is extortionate.

However I've never seen a brand new launch console with game prices that weren't. I guess that's the early adoption price you pay, and a limited library.

Some people though seem to conveniently forget the Switch is not even 2 months old and insist on comparing it to 3/4 year old established consoles.

And? So? Are you getting it, or aren't you?

If not, grand, you've been heard.

If you are, wel, grand, you've been heard.

but we then also compare it to nintendo's past consoles....

compare the N64 with the PS1, which had the better third party support
compare the cube with the PS2/XBX, which had the better third party support
compare the wii to the PS3/360, which had the better third party support
compare the wii u to the..... well no point here the console was DOA

now when we look at all the nintendo consoles and ask, why did it lack the third party support and answers to this are because of nintendo.

N64 - expensive cart format vs the cd format, plus cd's allowed devs to do new things
Cube - had the hardware, had limited storage but also became more of a kids console littered with mario (insert activity) but third party loyalty continued from the PS1 over to the PS2 and even MS got better support even for its first console.
Wii - didnt have the hardware, had limitations on control hence why it was littered with same old party mini games. again devs then focused more to the PS3/360 hardware and left the wii out.
Wii u - didnt interest devs because it was just a subpar last gen system and again they focused on PS4/XBX1 hardware.

Now the switch, inferior hardware, expensive cart format...... what on earth gives people the impression that the issues repeated during the last four consoles nintendo released is somehow going to be different..... what because nintendo promised to do better this time, fuck me i heard the same shit after the N64.

what do you really think is going to happen when it cant run last gen games, then comes scorpio or SONY/MS's next gen consoles, the switch will be left behind and again no third party support and just usual nintendo titles again.

lets sit back with some pop corn and watch...... its not like i even said the wii u would be a failure before it was even released..... shock horror it was and with reasons.

so lets sit back give it a year if that and will see how epic this shit console really is.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

i bought TLOU because it was a great game with a great story, plus i didnt buy it for the PS3 so i didnt purchase the game twice, just the once.

but also it was a recent title which came out at the end of the PS3, so like other games then also come out for the next gen console..... nearly a year later.

not three years later you find first party to be porting old shit, expected from third parties trying to milk the cash cow.

if nintendo cant be seen supporting its console releasing new shit, they how are third parties to do so?

Unlike Mario Kart 8 which is a great game with great gameplay, plus the majority of people never bought a Wii U so they didn't buy the game twice, just once.

your opinion if you find it a great game, but its still a game thats been recycled since day one.

now i fail to find TLOU for the PS1.

but hey, nice to see the same ole, when a valid pointer been made, completely ignored so likely to avoid facing the problem you then go side track to change the subject which has already been mentioned prior as this particular game is not first party its an exclusive third party title.

here just to recap before:

Some people though seem to conveniently forget the Switch is not even 2 months old and insist on comparing it to 3/4 year old established consoles.
but we then also compare it to nintendo's past consoles....

compare the N64 with the PS1, which had the better third party support

if this is all nintendo have, then once its wow factor dies down the switch will become the same old forgotten console while third parties continue to focus on the other systems and will only port its old crap if its capable

TLoU on PS4 was like £54.99 at launch and jaysus, there were lots of people who paid that extortionate price for the game. I just can't understand why anyone would be willing to pay so much, that is, unless it'd be a collectors/limited edition set which it wasn't.

I always try to find deals on games I want to purchase.

i didnt buy it at launch i waited for the price to drop, but even then i think my store was selling it at £40 brand new, i got it later for £25 brand new, but if it was a game i owned on the PS3 i wouldn't have bought it again.
