Mario Kart World is truly a magnificent game. I don’t understand the people who criticize this game; I find it very representative of a next-gen title. In fact, the game is so beautiful that I spend more time stopping and taking photos of everything I see than actually racing. The immense open world turns out to be less anecdotal than what everyone says.
What do you think of image 11?
I really like the partnership with Minecraft in image 11.
I bought a PS4 Pro for €156 (including shipping), with a V2 controller in good condition, a 2-meter cable for the controller, as well as all its cables and the BD-JB disc.
Unfortunately, it was missing two internal parts that I had to buy for a total of €8.50, as well as the hard drive cover for €1.50.
That brings the total to €166 for the 512 GB PS4 Pro.
So I was wondering how much people usually get one for, to know if it was a scam.“It is running firmware version 12.00.”
Let me explain: the console is more powerful than the first Nintendo Switch and, since it is more powerful, they could not use the old Switch 1 cartridges because the storage is not fast enough to load high-resolution textures in games or detailed open environments. That is what led to the obligation to create Switch 2 cartridges with faster storage in order to load all that content.
That’s fine… but there is a problem: the price. These faster cartridges are more expensive, and as a result, the games that use them are more expensive too.
So Nintendo, to solve this problem, created empty cartridges called “Game Key Cards.” These cartridges are cheaper, allow games to stay at a normal price, and keep the buy/resell aspect.
Except there is a problem: to play the games, you have to download them, and there are several issues with that.
The first issue is needing an internet connection to download the games. Sometimes people do not have access to the internet, and some do not have unlimited data plans.
The second problem: the day the servers are shut down, you will no longer be able to access the games.
So I asked myself:
WHY DID NINTENDO MAKE SUCH A STUPID CHOICE?
I’ll tell you why I think it’s stupid: simply because they could have kept the Switch 1 cartridges. Some people will say that’s impossible, since as I explained earlier they are not fast enough.
Where you’re seriously mistaken is that they could have designed a cartridge based on cheaper Switch 1 cartridges, containing the full game and allowing you to copy the data onto the console’s storage. Kind of like with PlayStation discs: you insert the disc, the game installs onto the console, and then it simply acts as an access key.
PS: I also think Nintendo was cheap with the Switch 2 storage. They could have put at least 500GB of storage in the console considering the price we are paying for it.
