Will the Switch have the same virtual console as the WiiU? Because I hear Bomberman 64 just came out on the Wii U and I wanna bring that with me

well why not posted:super weird that Link's Awakening isn't on it. It has eight other Zelda games in the VC. I just hope the VC on Switch isn't a trickle feed of releases like it had been on 3DS and Wii U. This is the console to start rolling on that service.

You might remember about a week ago I showed a picture of a Joycon grip I 3D printed. It has the Joycons slide in at a bit of an angle, but it doesn't have any actual 'grip' on it. Beyond that, I find the original Joycon grip lackluster because of its size. For an adult hand, if you rest your palms on the grip, then you can't reach the bottom buttons/stick with your thumb. I waned to fix this. You know what controller I think does have a nice grip? This is a quick hack to put Joycons into the body of a Steam Controller. I have no experience with CAD programs, I used a web-based program from Autodesk called Tinkercad. You pretty much just add, or more importantly, subtract, to models. This allowed me to essentially stick models of this custom grip, with accuate models of the two Joycons inside it, into the model of a Steam controller, and subtract it out the Joycons to make space for them. That's pretty much all you can do in Tinkercad, there is no ability to really modify the model beyond the addition, subtraction, and basic resizing, hence why the back buttons are still there.    I haven't played with it yet, but quickly holding it in my hand, I think there is a lot of promise here. It is very comfortable to hold, and easy for my thumb to reach everything it needs to. The one problem with this current design is that the shoulder buttons seem difficult to reach, but I think that can be fixed easily by shaving off the top corners of the model. If anyone is interested, I'm going to play some Zelda to see how it works actually using it.

I think they're gonna use it's release to fill in any gaps they have in game releases. I wonder how many casual gamers know that virtual console is even a thing. They'd sell a shitload more of these things if they made a virtual console commercial and aired it during NFL/college football games this fall.

However, this method that you're using, is very interesting. Where did you get the original models for the controllers? I'm fine with the joycon grip, but you've made me consider making my own 3ds grip with my friends 3d printer and it'd be way easier to start with some actual controller models

Last weekend I was at my mom's for dinner and my brother asked me about the Switch and my mom goes "oh hey I found the case for the old Game Boy, it's up in your old room." So I go up there, open the case, no Game Boy but all the games are in there. Including Oracle of Ages, which I never beat. I still have a GBA laying around somewhere though so I'm excited to play it.

Just played a little Zelda, and it worked as well as I thought it would. Comfortable, easy to use, but yeah, the shoulder buttons are a problem. And I just realized that the fix will be a little more complicated. It's not that the top needs material shaven off, that is true, but the way you hold the grip, it makes it so that the comfortable resting spot for your index fingers are about an inch behind where the actual shoulder buttons on the Joycon are. I think the Joycon dock in the center needs to be angled on two axis instead of just the one. Not quite sure how I can pull that off, though.Dieting Hippo posted:i've been looking to use my 3d printer to make a joycon grip for a little bit now and havin' a steam controller grip sounds dope. do you have a download link for the 3d print? https://www.tinkercad.com/things/7KzxPve5b87-steam-switch-grip/editv2?sharecode=S5ouXceTdTcz8X5lVf55mAxOaij1D4TQmzMlU5wSuZE= This link will give you access to the original design on Tinkercad. ethanol posted:My dude,that looks rad.

Music Theory posted:Is Fast RMX good for multiplayer? It's pretty much the only way to go, online or local, because the AI is impossibly hard past the novice tier of races. I haven't encountered any lag or teleporting when playing online, and local 2 player races work very well because the screens are split vertically and racing games work well in portrait mode since you don't need a wide field of view. It's a pretty cool way to get a taste of local multiplayer and using the joy cons as mini gamepads, without buying Snipper Clips.

Tender Bender posted:Throwing away conventions isn't a virtue just for the sake of doing it. BotW succeeds because it throws away conventions in order to deliver an experience that stays true to the spirit of the series. But it obviously wasn't just for the sake of doing it. A lot of the decisions in Other M were clearly QoL decisions even though they smashed tradition, like removing the heart pieces from a Zelda game, or changing the ammunition system. It was an attempt to hit some of the story-beats of the original Metroid that the comic adaptation tried to touch on, even though they make no sense as the 5th major chronological sequel (such as Samus' PTSD in the Ridley fight). If we're basing its BotW-iness on something being successful, than yea it failed but… it strikes me as the same level of deconstruction. parallelodad posted:If any Metroid game did this it was Prime. Prime is successful in the same way that Ocarina of Time is successful, in that it just took series conventions and made them 3D. It didn't really deconstruct anything from the Metroid universe, it's all still missile packs and Power Suit upgrades hidden in ancient technology. Though it did add the scan function which is a pretty big departure.

Well yeah, and the game failed at what it was trying to do and sucked. I'm just saying that throwing away conventions is just part of the equation, what BotW did is throw away the conventions while recognizing and tapping into the core of what people actually liked about the series. People liked dungeons, items, etc, but WHY did they like those things, what is the feeling of engagement and flow you get from those things, that's what BotW keeps while throwing away the wrapper, and then they executed really well on that plan. Other M deconstructs Metroid and delivers something people don't want and executed really poorly. You're not wrong about Prime, it does do an OOT thing of translating the game to 3d and (importantly) fleshing out the concepts well enough to be worth the transition.

Yeah but OM missed the part were the radical departures and alterations recapture the spirit of the unpolished original while take it down a different evolutionary path from the previous sequels. OM was an evolution of Fusion more than anything and it's linear nature and story based unlock system only limited player freedom in a series based originally around discovery and exploration. It is a low point in the series because he creators exactly misunderstood everything good about metroid, it is about as far from a successor to the spirit of the original as it can possibly be.

Just picked up a switch a few hours ago with zelda:botw. It's my first nintendo ever and I'm soooo excited but I can't access the store because I can't log in with my nintendo account. It's supposed to send me a code via email but it isn't.. Is the store getting hammered? Btw, I'm in europe.

I think the joycons should face outwards, rather than inwardly which would be closer to a standard game controller

There's an alternate view for the home screen as soon as you get to like 12+ games, according to Nintendo Life. It basically turns into 3 rows of smaller icons with maybe 10 games in each row.

Me in 2006: Nintendo would be drowning in money if they just dumped their whole catalog on the Wii virtual console. Me in 2013: Nintendo would be drowning in money if they just dumped their whole catalog on the Wii U virtual console. Me in 2017: Nintendo would be drowning in money if they just dumped their whole catalog on the Switch virtual console. Me in 2024: I'm so glad the AmazonSonyApple Conglomerate bought out Nintendo so now I can play every Nintendo game on my iGlassStation Fire HD.
