Out of all American superheroes, there is one that many in Japan seem to like best: Spider-Man. But why? In a recent interview, Hideo Kojima explains how Spider-Man is like Japanese heroes, which might explain the character’s appeal to local audiences.
Nintendo Switch 2 upgrades portability with a bigger screen, 1080p handheld play, and Wi-Fi 6. Here's why it still matters in 2025.
As someone who travels for work I still care about portable systems.
I have found using remote play in a hotel room is an excellent experience in a major city as I've got my console hard wired to a gigabit connection at home however it's not perfect if power trips the console tends to go to the repair section and can't be booted remotely so it's a annoying call to family to power it on for me.
A hotel out of town or regionally though that can cause havok for remote play as I'm always on 5g using it hotel wifi is never good enough for a solid remote play session.
But leaving a stable location and getting onto a plane or train and there's little to no chance of a good experience with remote play thats where something like the switch 2 will really shine for me personally long haul flights are exhausting and one of my most hated things the switch has been invaluable for me and I'll absolutely be upgrading
Nintendo has always done it the best, handheld is in their genes. I do wish their dock could be like an egpu though and it make it much more powerful, it's a bit harder for me to play portable now for some odd reason, love just sitting on the couch with a big screen and controller. And ofc always great to have the portable option and for me it's best for smaller games.
IMO, 540P upscaled in portable mode to a 1080P screen using DLSS on the tensor cores will likely extend battery life using a lower TDP and provide much better anti-aliasing and similar clarity compared to native 1080P with med/low AA at a higher TDP. It’s just a better way to use a mobile chipset. That’s not a flaw or weakness, it’s a key benefit for the portable design of the platform.
Lol, even the impressive upscaling feature of Switch 2 can now spin to a negative one.
Switch 1 was hitting 720p and above that with no upscale, so why can’t they have a higher res and upscale it more
@jznrpg
Because of that even the current gen games will now run on switch 2 that looked as good and with decent framerate as the current gen consoles.
Do you watch Nintendo's hands on preview for switch 2? LOL.
because aside from Nintendo's own games which have their dedicated fanbase, portability is the only other thing it has going for it. Nintendo will be eliminated faster than xbox if they ever decide to do a dedicated home console again. going the hybrid way is the only way left for them and they are lucky they dominated the portable market all those years ago. imagine the power of the Switch 2 as a console this day and age with the same price as PS5. they will be the laughing stock of the market.
Original designer Bruce Nesmith has admitted that The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered's level scaling was a "mistake"
I do appreciate the changes to the levelling system in the remaster which lessens the hassle of min/max with regards to effects class skills have on attributes(missed these in Skyrim).
The level scaling is still a problem though as you end up with crappy uniques if you find them low level. They did fix this with regards to items from one of the DLCs but it should be across the board.
funny that you say that. That would make you the Titanic since you're having a crashout over this game performing well.
strange comment...Maybe it's the way you write or your intentions or something, but most of the time I don't understand your comments
Famitsu: " In this article, we interviewed the development team at Sucker Punch Productions, based on what was revealed in the trailer. We asked them in detail about what was depicted in the trailer and what the title of this work is. "
Too bad they didn’t include “The Emissary of Death” costume, but at least there was that little Easter egg line about needing Peter wanting a giant transforming robot.
Nah Batman still dunks on him though. I thought the Japanese had culture.
Okay, very cool. But I don’t think Japanese superheroes have the constant desire to virtue signal like ours did.
I see. I've never really followed the super-sentai genre, but yeah I can see why a culture who likes stories about average people becoming heroes and the impact that has on their lives would like Spiderman. It's kind of odd to think of him standing next to some very strange heroes, like the one who wears girls' panties as his face mask and knocks enemies out using his jock strap (and apparently that has a live action movie).
There's some very strange stuff in that manga I brought back from Japan a few years ago. One day I'll be able to actually read it, but until then it's just a fun conversation starter. Don't get me started on what's in the children's manga.
Let's not forget there was a Marvel authorized Japanese Live action tv show of Spiderman. He had a flying car and was the first live action show which super Sentai would adopt with the transforming giant mech/robot...
