It's not that physical games are inconvenient, it's just that downloaded titles are as convenient a thing as it's possible for anything to even be. It's all just right there on the menu screen.

Someone needs to make some rails that glue or stick really hard onto the back of the Joy‑Con grips that could hold both L and R straps. Tons of flat area to house them both.

Is it easy to sell Wii u games? Part of the reason I'm going digital is because I figure everyone will buy the half dozen or so games they care about in 2017 and there'll be no market later. Same with how Uncharted 4 is almost impossible to sell on PS4.

Depends on the game. First party Nintendo games and things like that Bayonetta 2 w/the Bayonetta 1 disc still sell well. You'll be able to sell UC4 in the future, it is just too close to release and that game was pretty much a universal buy for everyone. Give it a few years and people who just got the PS4 will buy it, especially if you have the limited/special edition version like I got with that art book or whatever. I think the FF7 remake will sell a decent number of PS4's and people who just got one will want to go back and buy UC4... though it probably will be $20 on Amazon by then. Nintendo are a little more stingy with their games and they may sell for $50 instead of $60 after 5 years or so.

No. Other games are priced comparatively.
10 USD = 13AUD for the stand alone Shovel Knight game for example.

Someone has just hosed up pricing on this one.

Nope, those were the prices I saw when they were initially announced. There was a lot of grousing of why was the Switch version 10 dollars more than the PS4 version.

So the good thing about this video about whether there is a pro-Nintendo bias in game reviews is that this is the one time I can say "Have I got good news for you." if you watch this and for some reason are so mad at the guy in the middle you wish he was reprimanded in some way...

Like first of all take a step back and realize how much energy you're putting into about getting mad at somebody's opinion about video games.

But then hold on because like I said before you are gonna get some good news.

Is Lego City whatever at all reminiscent of a Lego Island type game? People have mentioned it's like GTA in Lego. Most lego games I've played are pretty much "here's this set piece from a popular movie, bash up the bits and collect lego parts to move the story forward." Something open world like in Lego Island where I get to decide where to go would be neat.

They should make Lego Racers 3. The second one was such a disappointment.

Same. I loved that game back in the day. I recently saw LGR's review and man, sometimes you can't go back home.

Though I'm sure an updated Lego Racer would work well. The original let you build a car, brick by brick, then race it. Do it again but put more emphasis on destruction!

You can also count me as someone happy with my amFilm protectors. No issue at all. I know some people have suggested that the adhesive fails after long gaming sessions, but this has not happened to me. After applying the protector and not touching the Switch at all for 24 hours, I've had it on for about a week and have done several long play sessions with no issue whatsoever.

Ok from what I've listened to and read so far someone came up to that one guy who waited in line for a Switch for half a month and attempted to swindle money from him and Triforce?

And Triforce is saying that he gave him the last of his personal money to the guy because the potential swindler said he had no money to get back home, or something.

Now Triforce has no money, I think.

He was first in line for a 3DS and Wii U at the Nintendo World Store

And I think he owes some people he used to manage in the fighting game community a bunch of money he never paid them.

Here's an oddly elaborate piece on him from like half a decade ago that doesn't go into the alleged stuff but does talk about the line waiting.

He is an ex esports guy who ran a "team" and apparently didnt pay out prize money or reimburse travel expenses to his competitors and lost favor in the community, I don't know. But he is also the guy was has been first in line for the console releases for all the systems since the Wii and some games as well. Has a guiness world record for being first in line for Nintendo releases. Anyway, another youtuber CND waited in line for a month for the Switch outside the NYC Nintendo store to be officially the first in line for the Switch in NA, and Triforce waited with him to "pass the torch". Well some other guy hung around them for a few weeks and was supposed to do something sketchy to them, but didn't and supposedly lost his flight home because of that, then he complained about not being able to go home and they felt bad even though he was supposed to swindle them, and they helped him raise money on gofundme but he asked for $1500 at first for a plane ticket, they confronted him and he lowered it to $500. Then they found out he had money and just wanted to raise money from the community in order to have a plane ticket to PAX east and buy himself a Switch (so lied about going home).


gently caress, I feel like a loser for knowing that... I'm done with youtube...

edit: and apparently the guy who con'd them out of money performed a sexual act to get a Switch... I dunno... allegations, rumors, etc.
