Superior Trash Talk!
Did people really go on about the future death of Nintendo in 95?

Also is it likely that they'll put out another group of selects titles for the holidays? I'd love to get hyrule warriors but it's still a bit steep and it seems like every time I buy a game it becomes a selects title a month later. Wouldn't mind wolly world or captain toad discounted without the amiibos because I've got six or seven of them that just collect dust.

Just buy Legends if you have a n3DS. You get all the content of the Wii U version + Season Pass (Except for the Challenge Mode and the mode where you play as Ganon/Giant Cucco) plus a bunch of new content for far cheaper than the Wii U version. Its also better balanced gameplay wise.

If you only have an o3DS though don't bother.

I'm enjoying color splash a lot. I have a feeling the Colorization is gonna drive me nuts though. There have been a few times I had to scour the level to find the one spot I missed, which is sometimes fun and sometimes not.

In the not fun category is Daffodil Peak where I'm at 99% (even after going back and painting a character who only shows up after you get the first star) and I absolutely cannot figure out what I'm missing.

If I'm not mistaken, Ed Semrad went on to be one of the perennial review crew for EGM, which makes him even less worth listening to.

It doesn't have multiplayer though, and honestly what the gently caress is the point of a musou game without that?

I'm also enjoying it a lot.

Game does really not give a poo poo about your time between the second big paint star and the third though. Game is also really good at seeming non linear while it's pretty much entirely linear. Illusion of choiceing all over the place.

I have no idea what this means, it's pretty much the only way I ever play the game and I never had any problems with it.
I only ever played single player because the story mode is single player only and you need that to unlock things for Adventure mode.

Resolution for the TV is locked to a really low Wii-level resolution (Which I think is the same resolution it has on the Gamepad screen, which is what the second player uses instead of there being splitscreen). The framerate suffers severely even with it, monsters don't spawn in or load in that much, its just not very fun.

It's nothing!

It's probably actually nothing and even a fake, if not then the NX is 300 bucks and there's also a 400 bucks bundle.

I'd be more inclined to dismiss it out of hand if not for this part

Yeah, there are reasons to be skeptical of this, but it outputting 4K Netflix to TVs is not one of the reasons to be skeptical.

The 900p resolution on the handheld component is more eyeraising. 900p is over 50% more detailed than 720p and playing demanding games on it probably indicates a very short battery life. (Yes, I know about your smartphone's 1440p resolution, but you're not really taxing it with Clash Royale).

Producing 4K 3D graphics with the poly counts and effects people are used to these days is very difficult to pull off even with current high-end PC gaming poo poo, say nothing of compressing all that data into a stream simultaneously with the CPU. Just streaming video on the other hand doesn't require a ton of processing power. This kind of stuff isn't cheap either.

I am expecting a portable battery life of 3-5 hours. Anything more than that and I will be pleasantly surprised.
