The graphical uptick took a second and it fell like putting my glasses on. Ridiculous. That's weird. I didn't expect any Switch games to run better on the TV. Maybe they gimped it on handheld due to battery issues? I don't understand how that happened.

Is it just me or does the rumble on the joycons and pro controller feel really weak? Or is it just Zelda that has really subtle rumble? And also what's the word on Fast RMX for someone who kinda sucked at F-Zero GX?

lelandjs posted:I bet if I smoked pot I would spend hours just slithering around pointlessly. It's very transfixing even while sober. I couldn't resist picking it up for a chill game for this exact reason. I've spent more than my fair share of time practicing getting used to the controls trying to wind around bamboo posts. So far it seems the fun and challenge of the game comes from actually controlling your noodle and getting it to do what you want.

Just played the first level of Snake Pass and the framerate was fine. Definitely looked sub 720p but it looked fine. However after doing one level it says completion percentage was 6% which, uh, doesn't bode well.

It feels more intense to me in Puyo Puyo Tetris of all things. Fast Racing RMX actually feels even harder to me than F-Zero GX but it's still manageable on lower difficulties and the game owns for being only $20. It even has the same announcer as GX too.

The only good thing about neogaf, other than the occasional correct leak, is those retro megathreads. There was a good GBA one that I learned about a lot of overlooked gems from.

That said, the pro controller rumble is kind of weak, whereas there are parts of Fast RMX where the joycons feel like they're trying to wiggle out of my hands!

s.i.r.e. posted:How are you controlling him without losing your mind? Think like a snake, bro. This isn't a platformer where you play as a snake, it's a snake simulator where you do platformy things. They changed some things in order to make it easier to play but that's basically what it is. The "move forward" button doesn't really move you forward, it straightens you out like how a real snake moves. Keep that and how important points of contact are in mind and you're golden.

The rumble in 🐍 pass is cute. You feel the things you eat go down the controller as it goes down the length of Noodle's body.

I mean, the iTunes Store "doesn't give refunds" either but one time I had a problem with a movie rental and they gave me a refund. The "no refunds" policy is a good one designed to keep people from taking advantage of the system.

Yeeeah I'm still gonna hold onto they're doing a vague PR ballet that the game is technically playable with the cart as is, it will just require a "content update" to go past the first or so area. And yes, the Switch definitely needs more demos to give people a taste of what's on the system. So far, Snipperclips is pretty much the only game with a demo on the entire store. (And technically the Splatoon 2 testfire, but that isn't a conventional demo.)

The Switch eShop feels so cold and sterile compared to the Wii U eShop. I wonder if they are going to show a Miiverse replacement when they announce their online service. The system is great so far but it'd be nice if it had a little more personality in the menus.

One interesting thing I heard in a podcast recently was a conversation about the Switch's phone app and potential services it could provide. They talked about how they liked Streetpass on the 3DS, and that since modern smartphones have the capability for apps with Streetpass-like capabilities, they could add it to the application. I'm not sure I have seen any other phone apps take advantage of that capability.

The system is great so far but it'd be nice if it had a little more personality in the menus. If anything, rolling out the paid service should be the perfect time to roll out miiverse or whatever may replace it. Feels kinda dead without it, would have all these posts, great random art, and just general interactions going on around you. Certainly added to the atmosphere of Splatoon and Xenoblade Chronicles X for sure.

I like how putting a solid four hours into a game on the switch (Voez I play in short bursts, shovel knight when I'm bored of Zelda, and Snipperclips if a friend is around) just shows it as "a few minutes" on playtime.

I remember when Ed Boon said all the Injustice DLC was coming to the Wii U version. (A WB games release.) It didn't. Hopefully they aren't lying here but if so, it wouldn't be the first time someone from WB games lied. Spacebump fucked around with this message at 05:09 on Mar 29, 2017 |

I've played a bit of Snake Pass on portable (haven't docked it yet). It definitely has some antialiasing problems and overall things that aren't the snake are a little blurry. The gameplay is really fun, and I think if it more as a physics-based puzzler (find a way to get the things) and less of a platformer. I haven't encountered any enemies yet, and I'm okay with a chill snakegame. Honestly seems like a good game to play with a drink or two or some weed.

Snake Pass running poorly on handheld mode is a real bummer, it seems like the perfect game to relax and curl up on the couch with. What are the odds that it gets patched?

If it's running like that in handheld mode at sub-720p and better in dock it's more likely the GPU just isn't there, clockrate wise.. Chock it up to probably an engine that couldn't go that low on the specs. Set your expectations accordingly: we're going to see a LOT of these. If people bring up BOTW that game probably had the best engineers working on that thing to look really good and the hardware team to dial that fucker in.
