The last new Nintendo IP was Splatoon which was quite popular and the motion controls are optional.

Look on the bright side.




A sequel on Switch with online multi would be cool.

I'm not worried about Splatoon 2. The game isn't coming out for a while and the testfire felt obviously early. It also ran great me for me and similar to Splatoon 1.

There's an "easy" mode for the controller on Steam where it removes the forward motion from the trigger and puts on the joystick along with steering Noodle, that has to be the default method of movement on the Switch version. It's easier, but controlling Noodle is still a pain.

I'm playing it on steam the normal way and it's loving great.

It reminded me of all of the "Nintendo hasn't developed a new IP since X" arguments in which people would completely pretend that Brain Age and Nintendogs and Wii Sports weren't things that existed, or that Brain Age especially had a number of critically-acclaimed best-selling titles.

eurogamer picked it up, and got a vague rear end statement from the publisher.

I'm honestly hesitant to preorder any physical release now. Nintendo-published games will probably have normal carts but seriously what would be the point of buying the Lego City cartridge?

The game is probably gimped in a major way without the download.

That sucks about Snake Pass. Sounds like I'll continue just sticking with exclusives, old games and the occasional indie on Switch. I hope Yooka-Laylee on Switch is okay but I'm not getting my hopes up.

I'm torn because Snake Pass seems like an :effort: port but I also want to support indie devs on the Switch so more devs support it.

I read this as "runs at 720p and has the occasional hiccup in the frame rate" since literally every single one of your posts are over the top bullshit. Thanks for the analysis, maybe I'll pick it up!

Nah, people on Reddit as well as Pocket Gamer confirm that game renders at a sub-720 resolution and upscales in portable mode, and possibly something similar doocked.

Snake Pass is good fun and it runs at least at higher than 30 fps but seems to dip occasionally. Also I completed 3 levels and it tells me I have 19% completion, what?

Bought Snake Pass after all. Neogaf/Reddit is right, portable mode looks terrible. Cant say for sure that it's 480p but it sure as hell ain't 720p. Haven't had a chance to play docked yet. That said, I liked what I played, I haven't had a character in a video game control the way Noodle does and it's actually really satisfying.

Also I get the impression that the Joycon vibrate sound is intentional, it certainly seems like a "item got!" noise. The vibrators in the Joycons can be made to play sounds--my Steam controller has similar ones that play a few notes of "Still Alive" when I turn it on--so I can see a dev being like "Aha!" and adding it as a little bonus.

I did the exact same thing with mine but imine's the charge drop, I just epoxied the magnet right to the circuit board.

Docked my Switch for a sec to test Snake Pass and woah it's a marked improvement. 1080p as far as I can tell and better shadows. The graphical uptick took a second and it fell like putting my glasses on. Ridiculous.

Which is too bad, because Snake Pass seems like a great game to play in portable mode.

Thanks for the heads up. My son decided he has a burning desire to play 1-2 Switch so this is good timing!

Dumb question what is the current time CST. So I know what time to look out for tomorrow.
