Well a Smash 4 Special Edition would probably explain why they delayed putting out the remaining set of amiibos for the game.

Well this is wrong. The 64 version of any game is probably the wrong version in 2017.

Yeah like how they shouldn't have released a new Zelda game because the 64 had two already right? :haw:

E: Does anyone else get the weird effect of their right joycon losing life faster than the left? Right was a little over half while the left looked like it was full.

I've actually been noticing the exact opposite; odd. Also, the other day it took several hours (10-16?) to fully charge it back to full; I suspect it wasn't charging slow so much as not charging at all until I detached and reattached the joycons towards the end, because it went back up to full in short order.

Loopoo mentions putting the money from his Switch toward something else until it's time to buy another one, so I think I know his type and have known several people like this in real life. They view any money they have as "wasted because it's just sitting around", as if life is some sort of real-time strategy game. On payday, they budget for rent, groceries, etc. then get on Amazon and spend a few hours shopping so they can blow the exact amount of whatever is left on their paycheck. Then the same logic of something "going to waste" get applied to all of the poo poo they own too, so it turns into a nonstop, futile cycle of selling and buying everything in the hope that they can achieve the ideal allocation of assets for that particular second of their lives.

$700 in savings... better buy a Switch and a bunch of slow cookers so I can sell them over the next 17 months to buy toilet paper so it doesn't go to waste!

or maybe they just wanted to play the best version of botw but dont really care about anything else coming out on the console

Blaster Master owns so far, but the max upgrade gun is rediculously easy mode, I need to stop using it. I've been able to smash every boss in seconds by standing still and mashing the fire button real fast.

There's three amiibos left, but four in development for release. Unless they decide to release female Corrin (which they have never done for any other amiibo) then it's a new character for the Deluxe version.

Also, Bayonetta and Corrin were released in February 2016. Cloud was released earlier still, in December 2015. Even weird third party issues doesn't apply, as Corrin would still be in the clear for release while they worked out poo poo with Platinum and Square. There's no real reason to delay these amiibos for over a year besides holding them back until Smash Deluxe releases. Especially if the game has some new amiibo gimmick to show off.

I'll buy it either way, but I think I'd just prefer a new Smash at this point.

e also can confirm the amFilm screen protected goes on super easy and is fantastic, it's arguably a must have

No, I was saying. This was the only time slot I had to play in the entire test fire period, unfortunately.

And yes, it was discouraging to repeatedly die and never even get close to killing someone, but that wasn't the majority of my issue. It just didn't feel that great.
If you're caring about your kill-death ratio in Splatoon, you're playing it wrong imo.

If it's anything like Splatoon 1 you're gonna see a lot more weapons and loadouts, a fun singleplayer campaign, ranked mode with several different game modes, and regular community events. I'm sure we'll see all that when we get closer to release.

Realtalk, I can't remember where I read the article or where I read it and I can assure you that this is a 100% real thing I am not making up, but someone complained about Miiverse a while back when they were playing Super Mario 3D Land with their kids and they had Miiverse posts come up in the background

What was in those pictures?
Penises

So I can understand why Nintendo would want to remove the need to moderate that poo poo constantly 24/7. Much akin to the old dead Lego MMO which basically devolved into full time round the clock Penis checking via the mod team, cause you certainly can't have kids seeing Lego dongs or dong related media.

On the other hand gently caress that noise Miiverse was cool and had good art, especially for Splatoon.

If you are interested in more dong detection articles you can read what happened with the Lego MMO a bit further here

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-06-01-lego-mmo-development-dogged-by-dong-detection-software

Think there was a much longer article somewhere going in depth about what happened, but it eventually devolved into approval queues and mod teams having to check each individual submission for dongs, which led to a massive dong backlog when you just wanted to build cool non-dong related stuff.

Why not just have a trust flag? this way, repeat offenders immediately get denied while trusted ones still get placed into the mod queue?

The Digital foundry comparison says otherwise. For an anecdotal note, I've talked frequently with one of my friends who has the Wii U version and his testimony supported the conclusion from the video as well. I've not heard any other sources that have said Wii U is better, so where are you getting this from?

It's untrue that portable mode is flawless, but it is definitely true that it runs the best of the 3 options.
