I bought one of the "way too good to be true" KomputerBay 256gb supposedly 95MB/sec cards, will get it this week and report on how terrible it is.

I tried pairing my Joy-Cons to my PC earlier today not expecting it to do anything and was very surprised when it just worked. Played a few NES games in MAME and it worked as well as any gamepad. It shows up as two separate controllers, but that's solved by simply rebinding the controls. JoyToKey plays with them just fine in case you want to use one as a media remote or control your web browser or something else weird. Worked on my phone, too.

Yeah, my only experience using Bluetooth for anything before was trying to get a Wiimote working and it definitely wasn't as simple as just connecting it and playing some games.

I'm hoping that the Joycons can act like a Wiimote Motion Plus controller when it comes to Dolphin support.

Puyo Puyo Tetris has some interesting rumble effects... I was playing it muted while listening to a podcast, and the controllers do this distinct whistling sound when the boards swap between Puyo Puyo and Tetris. They also mimic the original Game Boy sound in Tetris whenever you clear a line.

I think they mean "bluetooth enabled controller natively pairing and at least being recognized as generic controllers by OSes in tyool 2017 shouldn't be a huge jaw-dropper and the fact that it is is sad commentary on the state of affairs when it comes to what should be generic cross platform interoperability" also mac's been able to natively pair with playstation controllers since ps3 so windows can gently caress a duck

I'm liking how dev friendly the Switch is. Can easily joycons to your PC, devkits only cost a couple hundred, lot of people interested in porting their games. Hopefully the indie swell will bring back some big name devs as well. I don't mind the Switch being just a Nintendo + Indie game machine, but it'd be nice to have some big name brands on here as well.

Big console games are great, but I really love the tighter if less ambitious focus of games like Bravely Default, SMTIV, and Phoenix Wright.

Kite Pride Worldwide posted:It's very obviously what Nintendo wanted to do with the Wii U but couldn't. The Wii U's feature was two screens at the same time, that was its whole thing. Ursine Catastrophe posted:Same, but the instant I think "I could do that" I follow that thought with "even if you get them disassembled, painted to look that nice and reassembled, the tactile feel of them spray painted is probably going to be poo poo and you're going to end up buying another pair for normal use anyways". Depends how expensive your paint is. You can get paint that literally dries into rubber. Just make sure you use primer, for whatever paint you choose and it'll probably be fine.

I bet that's what PPT is doing, and it's going to be the go-to cheap HD rumble solution, and it's gonna be real weird hearing the motors produce recognizable frequencies when playing without sound.

Yeah, Fast RMX has some cool rumble. There are a number of stages where there's strong air currents around the track and the rumble gives you this strong whirling sensation that actually makes those parts feel pretty scary, like you're gonna lose control any second.

So the joycon uses gyro controls instead of the wiimote method of IR pointer AND gyros...right? So unless they made some mysterious advances I would expect the joycon to be not as good for pointing since the I think main problem with gyros is they lose calibration very easily. But the joycon seems to work alright for aiming in botw. What with the ir light on the back of the joycon and why is it there/pointing the wrong way ? Curious about all this because I haven't heard a firm answer on whether they could make something like skyward sword or sm galaxy work on this console

I've yet to have the rumble feel like any tangible thing. I'd LOVE for a 12 Switch demo to come out with the ball counting game, so I could finally experience that or finally write it off as baloney.ethanol posted:What with the ir light on the back of the joycon and why is it there/pointing the wrong way ?

I am missing one shrine and I have no goddamn idea where it could possibly be. Hell, at this point I'm not even sure how to go about finding it WITH help. Maybe I should actually go finish the game or the random non-shrine related side quests I have left instead of spending 3 hours running around with no direction. And yes, I got the shrine in the castle.Jonas Albrecht posted:I splurged and got a Guardian amiibo at Target today. It's rad, I think I am going to have to track down the rest of the line. I got the Guardian and archer Link. They're both really, really nicely done. Scanning anything into the game isn't worth the effort unless you're doing some kind of amiibo assisted speed run.

There's the tracker on the slate, turned that on to find some of the last few even though the sound effect is so annoying. The first 104 or so were found pretty organically but they have been a bit of a slog since.

How are people almost already done with Zelda, I've put like 20 hours into it and just got to Kakariko village and have hit up.. maybe 10 shrines? The game's ability to take hours away via distractions is unreal. Only two other games I've played that've ever sucked me so immensely into the world is OOT and Xenoblade. gently caress I love Xenoblade and we better loving get an HD remake for the Switch.

It came out like over a week ago man. I keep wanting to get a Switch, but the concerns I hear about connectivity issues, scratchiness, overheating, questionable UXUI choices, etc. make me a bit hesitant. I'll prolly get one once those things are resolved.

It never used the sensor bar and the joycons have to have more accurate gyros than wii motion plus. Most Wii games would probably work as well. They could make a Twilight Princess with Wii controls that work on the switch. Everything in TP was either waggle controls or short bursts of aiming at the screen which can be emulated by the gyros as seen with Skyward Sword.

Guys the Nintendo Switch Rad Valtar Christmas Miracle is real. Walked into Wal-Mart this morning to pick up some bacon. Decided to check Electronics and saw zero Switch on the shelf so I talked to the store associate who I have known that has worked there for 20 years. He said they didn't have any in stock but then as I'm checking out at the front he's runs up and says they have one that was being held for Preorder that never got picked up and was cancelled. They also had 4 pro controllers so I grabbed one as well. Today is a great day. Edit: Morale of the story be nice to retail workers.
