Bill Barber posted:You don't have to buy it. I don't think anyone is complaining about the battery life of the joycons. Them offering a product isn't in itself greedy. Them offering it for more than $15 is totally greedy.

I like the multi-use of joycons since you can use them in several configurations. Charging grip was such a small difference in price to me compared to just an empty plastic shell so I ended up getting one as a second grip so I don't end up with dead joycons. Plus its nice to be able to keep two joycons permanently attached when I don't have three other people over. It's paying for my own laziness, pretty much. Just one pro controller and the base console is really all you need, though, along with a third party lan connection. On to less talk about accessories, what physical game releases are coming up worth getting? Already pre-ordered Mario Kart 8 and Puyo Puyo Tetris, didn't really see any others worth their price tags. Jackbox is going to be eshop, yeah? C-SPAN Caller fucked around with this message at 20:29 on Mar 31, 2017 |

I just beat my second run of Has Been Heroes and unlocked a fat man. Whether a run is "fun" or "over quickly" seems very luck based. The game is very, very heavy on unlockables, so there's a lot more variety as you play. But that also means your first runs are also probably your hardest. When I first went up against the skeleton summoner I had... no chance of beating him.

The switch plays the game, tells the website what games to send to your phones and then gets back the scores and whatnot. You can't play it without internet.

It amazes me that Nintendo didn't just put a charging grip in the console bundle itself. It would solve any complaints about charging joycons unless somebody has 5 or more of them. But considering they are charging $15 for two of the Wheel Cradles, I am surprised we got anything in the box.

I thought you had to like, stream through twitch or something to do online and that was the only way. If you can do this through phones then thats exactly how its always worked and how I was hoping it worked

Yeah Jackbox works the same on Switch as it does on every other platform unless you setup a stream it's meant for a local group play setting

I think the twitch comment was meaning to say other people won't see the main screen unless they're with you or you're streaming it.

I think the game is meant to be played locally with the option of streaming it so other randos can vote for things or play a secondary part of the game. Unless you are able to stream with no delay, the game becomes too easy sometimes. I was playing the saw-like game and it had me making a pattern out of some squares. The issue is that the stream was 15 seconds behind so it popped up my part while the stream was still showing the pattern I was supposed to memorize.

Sorry if my comment was unclear I thought people were looking to play online with others who were not local in the same room. The only way to do that is to stream it somehow. They can still join your game with room codes and stuff but it's not really fun unless you can see the screen

I want La-Mulana on this. The screenshot button would make it easy to take notes on puzzles and stuff, and the ability to play it anywhere would be pretty great since it's a really long game.

Well, I gave in to peer pressure and bought BotW despite hating every 3D Zelda to date. I'm about 5 hours in and can say that, without a doubt, this is the best 3D Zelda that has been made. Which is to say, it's a pretty good open world game. Not sure why everyone is talking like it's the second coming or something, but it's good enough that I'll probably finish it (I like fantasy open world games). I don't really like the combat but finding/solving the shrines is enough fun that it's keeping me going. The glider is a cool mechanic and, having just started Horizon as well, I wish they had something similar. Also I was at Target earlier and they didn't have any Switches but they had like 6 pro controllers on display.

Considering how many April Fools jokes from Japanese companies end up becoming actual things I can only hope this Ashley game concept with art (as always) by Ko Takeuchi ends up being a real game that comes out. I mean Ashley is pretty much a bigger draw than Wario himself in Japan nowadays seeing how they keep making more badges of her. I'd be really surprised if she's not a playable fighter in the next Smash Bros. at this rate.

I'm sure they'll auto-bind with an update like other controllers soon. Lobstertainment posted:Is there anyway to buy Binding of Isaac outside of NA and have it on my main account? You can still play off-region games with any account, if that matters.

I am gay for it. It feels good to hold and by that I don't just mean it makes games more enjoyable to play, but it makes my hands literally feel good to hold and play with it, like I just received a hand massage or something. It's cool and good.
