"Thus," concluded Miyamoto, "you must give up everything you have to be my disciple."

So is there gonna be another 8.8-gate today or is it only a preview embargo?

*edit nvm, they're blocking reviews until march 1st/2nd. man I remember when Nintendo didn't use to copy all garbage AAA games have forced upon us

ten years ago we'd make fun of CODblopsGTA because of DLC/season passes, review embargoes until literally the day before release, paid online, GOTY/remaster versions, special editions, and yet here we are

Snipperclips is confirmed for launch in Europe and it's also getting a Joycon bundle (two coloured joycon and a download code).

20EUR for the game, no price for the bundle ("set by retailers" like most other Nintendo hardware in Europe.)

I would want them to port the first 2 games to the Switch first so people can play the whole series on the one console (and on the go). Not to mention that Bayonetta would get the dubious honor of being probably the first series to get 3 separate installments on 3 generations of consoles with no major visual upgrades.

Really though, they should port all of the Wii U exclusives to the Switch, for no reason other than game preservation.

well why not
Feb 10, 2009




Wii U is definitely at risk, preservation-wise. Gamepads won't last forever and aren't easily emulated. I'm sure there's rips of data, but they'll be very challenging to play in 10 - 20 years.

Yeah, between that and the VC delay I'm a bit less excited than I have been. Still pumped for Zelda, Fast RMX + Snipperclips (goty).

As someone who doesn't follow this thread every day, what's the desync thing about? Like, I can gather that it's something about the controller desyncing, but is it really at 2 feet or is that just hyperbole, is it a confirmed thing or just a single instance from a random source, is it only when the switch is away from the dock, or what?


More importantly, what kind of hairstyle would bayonetta rock in a third bayonetta game

Also also, didn't nintendo say they aren't making the bayonetta amiibos until after the switch gets launched?

1) some people find that bluetooth is a bit unreliable and can't penetrate some materials
2) Rachel Green

A couple EU retailers have put up listings for this bundle at around 85EUR, which is only 5EUR more than the average price of the regular joycon bundle.

They're the standard red/blue colours, by the way, they didn't go pink/yellow like you might have hoped.

I'm kinda surprised Nintendo didn't spring for a set of Gold Joycons for the big expensive Breath of the Wild Collector's Edition.

The gold would reduce the range of the Bluetooth to 10 cm.

I mean, yeah there's a gaggle of shitposters trying to make Ultimate Hay out of this, but I can't fault anyone for not being soothed by the promise of a day 1 patch to fix a very serious issue.

Like I said. I'm optimistic (and this isn't going to likely effect me), but I'm also glad I told all my friends who were curious "don't buy a console at launch".

Heartening.

If Breath of the Wild turns out to be amazing then what other games will it join as incredible system launch sellers?

All I can think of is Super Mario Brothers 1, Super Mario World, Super Mario 64, and Ridge Racer.
