I would wager it has a crafting system of some kind. I don't know if it's tedious or merely idlesome.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

We've gone from "None of those things make games more fun " to "We're hitting diminishing returns".

OK, let me move it back to the first thing by pointing out that was still true. Having the capability to do fun physics slightly better doesn't mean you get more fun games. If the devs drop the ball, you still get a deeply unfun game.

"None of those things make games more fun" was perfectly fine. :colbert:

Ha, what a sucker! I got it as a gift. (Well, I tried to buy it, but the shop I pre-ordered from processed my order too late for an actual pre-order. In fact, they'd run out of stock completely at that point and just didn't tell me for a week. After that shitshow getting No Man's Sky as a gift was a very pleasant surprise.)

Any pics of 8 player Mario kart split screen on the switch screen yet?

Does anyone know if this allows ad hoc networking or do you need a hub/dhcp server etc?

Well, I assume if you have x switches (and x game copies) you can always I play multiplayer using them...

I don't think there's 8 player split screen. I think you need to ad hoc at least two switches for eight player.

Yeah, I think someone said the switch supports 8 player... I guess the game needs to as well!

It's good if you dont need a running wifi to play multi-switches.

lmao did you misread the line about 8 switches connecting locally or something? the game runs at 60fps and drops to 30fps in two player split screen, i doubt we'll even see more then 4 and that might not even be well optimized because most consoles will only have 2 joycons

They have built in whozits that can make ad hoc wifi networks.

Now a game like Bomberman or Smash will support 8 players on one screen, but eight player split screen would be terrible.

MK8 for Switch runs at solid 60 even in 4 player at 1080p. It doesn't drop frames like the WiiU version.

I gotta say lot of people I know want to buy a Switch for the motion controls already and for stuff like 1,2 Switch that "absolutely looks bonkers fun". I'm beginning to think they might be the ones who make it or break it for Nintendo, again.

Sweet.

They showed two player split screen on the switch screen which was hilarious enough. I love the idea of 8!

I am sure someone said support of 8 players per switch and 8 switch networks. (Not like I have 63 friends... or 7... or 3... or 1.)

Not in Splitscreen. Nintendo already confirmed it drops down to 30 fps then (like the WiiU version did). It seems to run fine if you use 4 Switches though (no splitscreeen).

Yeah and considering the love it's getting from the rooftop enthusiasts I think bundling it with the console (while keeping price the same) would result in more early adopters. Never underestimate how much money people are willing to spend for a new technological item that looks unique and cool and a lot of fun.

There's video of them playing multiplayer at 60fps. Maybe it drops when not docked.

Ah ok. He said it dropped in two player split screen which I was sure was wrong. The article says it drops if more than two players. Two players is still 60fps.

I thought it stayed that way at 4 player too though which was also wrong.

I'm certainly not going to buy 1 2 Switch, but that milking minigame certainly caught the attention of my board game group when I was also watching the Treehouse presentation whilst socialising. So there is certainly a possible demographic who might be interested. I don''t think it's the new Wii Sports, though.

This is always the case for anything. The folks following every small rumor and arguing about little nuances make up a tiny portion of sales. Think about how many people there are posting in this thread, it's essentially the same 10 people and half of them are buying regardless of the technical limitations/garbage online service.

Not saying my close friends are representative of anything here, but I could see that happening if 1,2 Switch was bundled with the console. As a FIFUTY DORRARU standalone purchase, heh, I believe it a lot less but it's still possible. It's also the only way the Switch could actually sell well imo, because on the "core gamers" front it doesn't look like it's going to do much better than the Wii U.

As a side note, I keep wondering what was the hurry of releasing the thing in loving March with barebones feature, no bundle, and a mediocre lineup. Yes PS4 and Bone also had bad lineups at release but they didn't come from the Wii U fiasco and everyone felt Nintendo needed more to convince people this time around. Are they that hungry for cash? iirc 2016 was a terrible year for them financially, are they that much in trouble?
