I'm away from my Switch right now. Can the pro Controller work in Desktop mode? Or does it require communication with the dock or something?

babypolis posted:Even after 4 years I still dont understand what the Wii U gimmick is. What the gently caress is that tablet for Anything that had asymmetrical multiplayer gameplay was pretty good. Nintendo Land with Luigi's Mansion and Mario Run were incredibly fun to play. ZombiU had a really good. Wii Party U had some fun mini games that used it well. And.... that's about it. I thought the integration in the Batman Arkham games was really slick, where I played Arkham Knight on the PS4 and really missed not having the game pad to navigate the map and put up waypoints.

The gamepad had potential, but even Nintendo barely used the feature, which makes you wonder why they bothered in the first place. The switch incorporated and improved upon the major thing the gamepad was ultimately used for.

Yeah when we first got Wii U it seemed cool to be able to play console power games on a handheld but the signal didn't even reach my bedroom so I was like well what's the point This is way cool now

I just got the PDP Joycon soft grips with the extra comfort booty at the bottom and I can highly recommend. They make handheld so much better.

Consummate Professional posted:I like the switch and I bet they just dicked up some optimization? Oh well maybe it can be patched. They were too ambitious having every drat blade of grass adhere to the physics and lighting engines. It's what we get for habitually ruining grass and plants in Zelda games for nearly the past 30 years. Ironically, there's like no point in cutting the grass now. It's just there to gently caress up the frame rate. Oh, and to stand up to Link's head so you can't see poo poo thru your Sheikah Viewfinder Thing. Savage grass. enojy fucked around with this message at 07:31 on Mar 9, 2017 |

I do have to say the eShop page for the switch is so sad right now since when I looked it was literally one page each of "New Releases" and "Coming Soon" which made me  but as a Zelda machine it's fine for me right now

As a controller the Wii U pad was trash. Pretty much had to go Pro controller.

koolkal posted:And man, what games I can't speak for other people, but for myself, Breath Of The Wild of course, and Fast RMX, and i'm still on the fence about Shovel Knight. Just Zelda alone will easily last me until the end of next month when Mario Kart 8 comes out. I'm still dicking around in the great plateau. My XB1 and PS4 get the most use at home. The Switch is primarily my handheld gaming device, and my travel console. I take uber, bus, and train rides, and stay in motels and visit family out of state pretty often, so thats when the Switch gets to shine. Mario Kart will entertain me indefinitely. I racked up an online multiplayer record of about 890 wins and 40 losses on Mario Kart DS. I mastered the technique of snaking, and I was so good that I had to use a tactic where I would let the other player be ahead of me for 80% of the race, and then I would pass them at the end and win, otherwise I would be miles ahead of them during the whole race, and they would always quit the match and I would not get the win on my record. I can't wait to play it on the pro controller, and do local 2 player split screen. As far as i'm concerned, Zelda and Mario Kart alone are worth the price of admission, for me. But of course i'm going to be getting many of the anticipated titles. Mario Odyssey, Splatton 2, Puyo Puyo Tetris, NBA2k18, Fifa, Skyrim, Fire Emblem, and Xenoblade Chronicles 2, and some of the indie titles too. If there are weeks or months between their releases, that's perfectly fine with me. My backlog of games is ridiculous. MeatRocket8 fucked around with this message at 08:17 on Mar 9, 2017 |

Someone needs to make one of those mounts they have for cameras, but for the switch. The ones where the legs are a bunch of balls, and you can contort them so they grab on to anything.

It's just so weird to be on a Nintendo console which has zero Mario themed content available outside of the user icons. Not even gutter-trash NSMB yet.

Arrrggghhh I hate that the left stick button can be activated if a butterfly farts on it. I've had so many deaths in Zelda from accidentally crouching when trying to lock on and run away from enemies, particularly those drat guardians that laser you Also I have a serious compulsion in cutting every single drat blade of grass. I get all tense and stuff if there's more than like 30% of it left. Of course, that's mostly in the Hatano/Kakariko areas where insects/fairies/rice/lizards are very prevalent. I was mowing around the cliffs of Quince/Marblod plain and got a shitton of rice there Watermelon Daiquiri fucked around with this message at 08:53 on Mar 9, 2017 |
