The Neo Geo ACA stuff seems cool but is there a way to get training mode on KOF98? There's arrows implying there's another menu on the title screen but I can't get to it with anything I press.

Has there been a better launch title
than Breath of the Wild?

It's definitely in the Pantheon of great launch titles. In 1991, Super Mario World was incredible. Same for Mario 64 a few years later, which I distinctly recall being labeled at the time the greatest game ever made.

My anker 10,000 power bank from 5 years ago chargers this fine WHILE playing zelda.

I think a lot of nerds maths were wrong on what power bank you need.

For large swaths of this game, BotW feels nothing like a Zelda game. Then you'll come across a goofy character with a goofy storyline, or enter a new area and hear some familiar music, or you'll be looking around on the map and see a mountain or a lake named after a character from an old Zelda game (or just flat out named after an old Zelda game) and you feel that overwhelming feeling of nostalgia and HOLY poo poo THIS A ZELDA GAME.

It uses about 9 Watts when running at full speed in portable mode, it's rather efficient.

That was my experience, too. I've gotten so drat tired of being forced into running errands and talking to everyone in Zelda that basically living on a mountain was a nice change of pace for me here. After 10 hours spent in the wilderness I decided to go solve some problems in a town and contact with virtual humans actually feels good! The pacing works really well because if I decide to ignore scripted quests in the towns I can still do other cool things that bring me closer to beating the game.

We know EA is bringing NBA and FIFA to the Switch, but in some countries hockey is the biggest seller. So the silence around a possible NHL game is curious. Is there going to be a port?

Warnings about noncompliant USB-C chargers delivering more power than the device asks for, or USB-C to C cables not handling power or data correctly. There are issues with some USB-C to A cables but from what I've seen they seem to more reliably comply with standards.

Decius posted:

Yeah, I assumed from the official charger specs that it would be more power-hungry in portable mode, but I'm glad that I was wrong! Seems like a halfway decent wall wart or battery pack is sufficient to charge and play.

That USB-C is just a wrong look away from blowing up or frying your device at all times. Like that's been the topic here for weeks before launch.

I'm pretty sure that if you have a an A to C cable with the proper resistor (from the amazon list that google guy runs), a normal USB A charger should be fine.

To be specific, we're getting NBA2K and EA's FIFA. It's worth noting that those games are still getting last gen console versions while NHL is not. We'll probably get Madden first.

I think either way, they will flop. Anyone who wants the latest sports game will get it on Xbox or PS4. Anyone who gets the Switch version either isn't serious about sports games or they are a kid and the Switch is their only console and they sort of like sports games.

I'd be surprised if Canada isn't the only country where NHL sells the most, and probably not even then. EA's NHL budget is super small.

This screen protector is really good:

https://www.amazon.com/amFilm-Tempe...creen+protector

Comes with everything you need to get the screen nice and clean, goes on easy. I have one bubble in the top left corner where the bezel is. Doesn't affect the screen itself and I'll wait and see if it comes out over night.

Anyways, I recommend that kit. It's really nice quality. Now I don't have to be paranoid about the dock scratching my Switch yay.

That's not what EA is saying, they're calling them "custom ports". But it all depends on if you trust EA.

I believe Emmanuelle is shit, though Emmanuelle 2, Emmanuelle '77 and Goodbye, Emmanuelle may be very good movies.
so, there's a random bit in this article that mentions this:

quote:

From what we understand, there is a small issue with the current firmware on Switch which causes a slight drain on GPU resources - once corrected, we're told that Fast RMX should sustain a full 1080p in docked mode.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2017-fast-rmx-showcases-switches-power-over-wii-u

so i guess we'll see some zelda docked mode frame rate increases. theres some speculation from the usual batshit crowd that think the switch is getting a boost mode of some kind and we might see zelda at 1080p and smooth 30fps. so while we are at it, my own speculation is that the boost mode will come with a digital monkey paw and a free copy of mario 64 with 12 player co-op running at 16k.
