0x38: FLOPPY_INTERNAL_ERROR

So someone upload footage they captured from the Switch event, their video is 60fps but I ripped it counted the frames, it's only 30fps.

The Wii U version didn't break 17 fps

I'm actually thinking that might not be too crazy a claim. Both Xenoblade and X took a while to come out, but X was their first HD game and 2 will probably continue off the basics of those games.

Lmao Neogaf expected a portable PS4 with Free online.

Probably the worst site for gaming news at the moment and the Sony Defence Force there is just insane.

Shafting Nintendo for asking for a subscription fee but praising Sony for raising the price of PSN.

What a horrible forum.

I really can't think of another message board that has taken such a nosedive in quality.

Ten years ago the site used to be dominated by both actual insiders and highly knowledgeable seasoned gamers from the 16-bit era. As time went on the website gradually became dominated by the Xbox 360 generation. People who only give a poo poo about flashy cinematic games and don't give gently caress about actual gameplay. I used to read forum posts on that website that were very enlightening, now they just simply make me roll my eyes on their jacking off over how "revolutionary" a game like Fallout 4 is.

The off-topic has gotten even worse. Specifically the political forums. They went from being a bastion of well informed left learners to coastal Silicon Valley liberals who worship Hillary Clinton and masturbate to off-camera videos of Hamilton.

The site also has some of the dumbest mods who for some weird reason are so well respected like "it is impossible for black people to be racist and if you dislike Hillary Clinton then you are a racist" Bish.

Last night my gamestop had 11 preorders out of 52 still open. I thought I would think it over and went back today. All gone! Oh well I guess everything happens for a reason. I guess I can wait and see how reviews turn out for both switch and Zelda. Hoping I can pick it up in the first month or so.

I'd believe that. One of the Xenoblade cast members tweeted out that they're back in the studio or something after 2 was announced so I guess they're already doing voice overs.

I like Xenoblade 2's art style, because Chronicles X couldn't decide whether the people were anime or not. Human bodies, anime heads. loving pick one, please. Xenoblade 2 chose. I would have preferred humans, but anime people are better than those weird half breeds.

It looks fun, but I'm not a huge fighting game guy and I see it as something I'd put maybe 2-5 hours into single player and maybe another 5-10hours total of multiplayer. I'd play it if someone else had it but for $60 nah not my type of game. It also looks like the type of game that will oversell so maybe I can get a used copy next year for $20. To the right person it's worth $60.

Best Buy had placeholders for its pre-order up yesterday as well. Didn't bother trying to pre-order it though. Going to do so once we get some more info, probably.

ARMs looks like someone wants to mix Punch-Out with Virtua On. This is acceptable to me.

After falling for the Wii U and being annoyed at the Switch I decided to say gently caress it and trade in my Wii U. After 5 games and the Wii U i'll get 250 dollars back in credit and put it towards the Switch and Zelda.

I'll miss Smash but at least I'll be able to play Zelda I guess? I barely touch my Wii U anyways. I started putting it on my upstairs TV to use as a media center for streaming. It disconnected from Amazon Prime like 4 or 5 times because it said it couldn't connect to the internet, when I don't have any problems with my PS4 or 360. I don't think I'll miss it that much.

The Switch can't gather that much dust right?

Ok so watching ARMS on the Japan stream right now you can target arms of an opponent and disable and slow them down by doing so. This definitely seems like a game where players will feel each other out for a the first half of a match and as soon as one makes a mistake it's going to be a brutal beatdown

There are like 5 release games (1 that could be considered AAA) and a huge amount of question marks. There are a few confirmed third party games that will probably make some point in 2017 but basically the majority are big N games. I am not going to buy a system for Splatoon 2 and Zelda, but that's just me. Either way, for Nintendo's sake I hope they sell a shitton during the first 6-12 months or this will likely be another Wii U software wise.

Honestly, I didn't come to take the piss, but the whole thing is underwhelming. Mainly because of the peripheral pricing and how Nintendo is handling online. $300 for a portable system isn't horrible, but they could have at least given the tech demo game as a pack-in like Wii Sports. Then you have rumors like voice chat being done with a third party phone app, and that you basically rent NES/SNES games as the bonus. A lot of the Switch seems to be buying into faith. Faith that Nintendo will not gently caress up the online (lolol) and that 3rd parties will make a decent presence on the system.
