Look on the bright side.



They should add other Hudson characters as DLC like Bonk and Master Higgins. Wario would be cool too.

EDIT: An update for Zelda just dropped. The game seems slightly more stable in problem areas on TV mode now.

Nah it's cool. It's Tetris. Every game to be made for this system could've come out at launch and there'd still be a good reason to get an excellent version of Tetris.

I called them and managed to cancel my order before I got charged just because I trust amazon to be faster and more reliable. Let me know how long it will take to get to you or if you even get it at all.

Well I just got a tracking number, looks like UPS 3-day to the east coast. Not amazon speed but I'll take texas groceries stores over bestbuy any time I guess!

It definitely does in the jungle part of the Faron region. I'm not sure but it feels like they removed a lot of long grass there.

Sounds like the mod I remember over in Oblivion/Skyrim that would remove some of the grass to get better frame rate.

Great Hyrule Forest is still a slideshow but Faron does seem better. It'll have momentary skips and then smooth out (like can happen throughout the game world), but it's not continuously choppy anymore.

So how does Jackbox work? Do I need to buy the game on Switch, and then everyone download an app on their phones or something?

I'm on my 3rd Victory Lap in Isaac, and I have exploding multi butt bombs that explode into tears and fill the screen with explosions, and I STILL haven't gotten any slow down whatsoever.

Like I literally do not know what combo of items have caused slowdown for other people, but my copy has been running perfectly no matter what insane combo of items I've gotten.

Approaching 50 hours played thus far. Have had 0 complaints.
100% cannot recommend people grab this enough

I had butt bombs exploding into mini-bombs, where each mini-bomb exploded into a tammy's head style tear explosion filling the room, while firing Mr Fetus bomb-tears at a trillion miles per hour killing bosses in less than a second.

I'm on Lap 4 and just unlocked RERUN. As powerful as you get, by the 3rd lap you can be one shot as you have no hearts.

My Niece is 12 and loves 1-2-Switch + Snipperclips.

I think 1-2-Switch is an extremely overpriced game for what it is, so if you can get it on the cheap I highly recommend it.

Snipperclips is the good poo poo tho

I've got digital, got rerun as well (and yes victory laps own, I don't know why they only trigger from the lamb though...had a great run where I was like "yeah I'll dual fist these hard mode completion marks", got the lamb down, declined the victory lap, killed mega satan...and didn't get marks for either :downs:), and one of the earlier pictures I posted was from a Lost conversion victory lap with sad poop mini electrified bombs and it was, as mentioned, chugging. (That was also with game-breaking amounts of tear size up too, though, so...)

I have encountered slowdown once. Whatever item you get that poisons all the enemies as you enter the room (Toxic Cloud, maybe?) has a green cloud visual effect. When I entered every room in the Womb, there was MASSIVE slowdown until the gas dissipated. I'm guessing that the two visual effects (the cloud and the Womb's... liquid?) happening concurrently were too much for the game to handle.

It made the Womb stupid easy... until I got to Mom's Heart, at which point her patterns got super messed up, every other was was slowed down and as a result I kept getting trapped in bullet hell situations that I couldn't escape or dodge and died. It didn't help that I also had the Tower card item, which kept filling the room with troll bombs every time I was hit by an attack.

It's totally possible to have a "responsible" round of Quiplash but it's way more fun if you're as dirty/gross as possible. I've played it with my (self-described) SJW friends and it was still fun, but not AS fun as it should have been.

So I don't know if it was mentioned in the last 80 pages of zelda spoilers/complaining about zelda spoilers, but apparently the switch dock is available from the Nintendo store but only from this one specific subsection page of the Nintendo store site, which for some reason is linked nowhere on the Switch accessory page. Why? :iiam:

in docked mode? i tried it last night in portable and there were no frame rate drops at all in that area when there used to be quite a few in portable. was kinda shocked.

the center of the forest is the only place i've really noticed frame drops in zelda, both docked and portable, so maybe my eyes are hosed.


edit: i also have no audio lag in neo turf masters or any other neo geo and i've bought an alarming amount of them.
