As part of an extensive interview with key members of the development team behind a major upcoming Wii U release, Nintendo Life learnt that completing LEGO City Undercover could take between 40-50 hours for many players, while the developers emphasized the importance of the GamePad to the gameplay experience.
Game developers have already started to confirm that they will support the Nintendo Switch 2 with their future titles.
Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."
The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.
Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
Nice! It looks like a game with a lot of content, especially after seeing the trailer of Chase climbing a castle. It's on my must buy list.
I don't know if I buy that the gamepad is absolutely necessary, though. The gamepad used to be absolutely necessary for Rayman Legends and suddenly it's not. I'm sure the pad will have some nice features and I'll be happy to use it, but I doubt Lego City will be the game that proves its necessity.
Now Watch_Dogs, on the other hand, could be amazing with the gamepad.
That's good news. Hopefully the 3DS version is just as good, though I wish it featured co-op play like Monster Hunter Ultimate 3 HD.
