I am sure Nintendo can afford higher budget for some of their games. And I don't see why a stellar looking 2d game is less worth than an ugly looking 3d game. VanillaWare games for example are always praised for their graphics and are full price.People would complain relentlessly about the price if they did 2D. Even if it can looker better and more consistent, there's still the widespread perception that 2D is worth less than 3D. It would also be really expensive here, as it is harder to translate the same uniforms/outfits to other 2D characters than it is 3D characters without it looking like a cheap copy-paste head transplant.
Yeah the game is really ugly. I always ask myself why they don't go back to that stellar Pixel look from the GBA games. These looked so damn cool and something like that in HD would have been really beautiful. Maybe mix it with 3d backgrounds like Octopath did.
Fair enough. An hi-end 2009 card would be around a teraflop single precision, which is still about as powerful (if not a bit more) as a docked Switch, and twice as powerful as an undocked Switch (not to mention with significantly faster VRAM in both cases).First of all, no, lol, my PC has a high end graphic card from 2009. It's freaking old. You don't need much power to play something like Max Payne in 1080p.
And second of all, you don't believe the Switch could give us like Wii U, hell, GameCube graphics in normal 1080p? Cause I'm not asking for much, I even said they should keep the graphics simpler, the res is the important factor here.
Well for me graphics don't matter that much for this type of game and also imagine if it reviews worse than Awakening for example because of bad graphics while being a better game, you see the irony here?
It is not like this was their priority. Koei is experiened in making strategy games due to Romance of the three Kingdoms, which is a main inspiration for this game.The game programming was handled by Koei, so it's not like IS even got experience out of this. I still think going for them just due to the battalion mechanic was a big mistake. It's not like Koei's warrior or strategy teams have ever done great looking games for the Switch in the first plac

But I get your point, and I agree. Even more people would complain about "ugly graphics" though.
No but it looks rough at places with low polys and low res textures.
I dunno I'm the kind of guy who's picky about framerate but doesn't really care about graphics as long as the art direction did its job. So of course image clarity is paramount, but as long as I can "read" what needs to be "read" from the image, graphics are a non-issue.Yeah, but there's the question, what makes graphics ugly?
The textures? The polygons? Or the picture quality/clarity? For me definitely the latter. Cause like I said when I put on a 15 year old game on a PC today (or just take any HD remaster on console as example) and puts it on native res, then I'm freaking impressed of how it looks. What do you have from wonderful graphics and nice textures, when you can never really see them because the resolution is always sub native? That ruins the whole picture, constantly. But yeah, you understand.
Howsoever, I'm getting my game in 1 1/2 hours. :D
I thought GMT=UK time. Silly me. Oh well, another hour to go.Damn, I forgot to add 1 hour to the OP's timer (nice OP btw!). Thought the reviews were out 5 minutes ago.
I would loooove to see more games looking like VanillaWare games.I am sure Nintendo can afford higher budget for some of their games.

Does anyone know how many gb the game is? I'm considering getting it but need to clear some memory lol

The only season pass content available at launch will be the costumes, and I doubt they take much space.
http:///xs3d.pngI need it in my veins.
Is there any roadmap or world of what SP will include? Unsure if I should bump up my pre-order to the edition w season pass.
