I picked up an WoN Inkling Boy figure at Target. I might buy another Inkling Boy amiibo to disassemble, so I can put the NFC chip on the figure.

Snakepass "runs like poo poo" on them too, still doesn't run significantly differently on Switch. Mind you the kind of people who say it "runs like poo poo" think anything that isn't at least 1080p 60fps locked automatically looks like poo poo.

To be fair, they patched it like a couple days after release and before it ran worse in portable mode (I never tried it portable). Before that patch it hitched a little every now and then and even now it runs at a lower resolution than all the other versions.

What I wasn't expecting is that it supposedly only runs 60fps on PS4pro and PC. I figured the Switch would be the only odd man out there.

Yeah, that's not the issue at all. Frame rate drops to single digits, choppiness that screws up your platforming, and a bunch of bugs like walls disappearing and stuff like that.

If you are pissed about how much MK8D costs, then trade in the Wii U version now and get like $25 for it while you still can. And remember that if you got it early you also got Pikmin 3 or some other game for free that you still keep. If you factor that each game was half the cost, that means you got MK8 for a couple years for about $5.

I have the entire collection of Smash Bros amiibo because they're literally the trophies from the game and I thought that was cool as heck. I have a couple more (Tom Nook, 8 Bit Mario) but I'm not trying to 100% the collection, getting all the Smash Bros ones was a pain in the rear end.

Zelda doesn't really have much precision of anything, so there's not much worry for frame drops messing up timings of things. There are some tricky jumps for certain sequence break-y things like this but you don't even get frame drops in shrines anyways so there's no argument.

The case is potentially different for a normal platformer. If I'm on a tricky jump and the game starts lagging to poo poo and it messes up my jump and I die/lose a lot of progress cause you fall into a pit or down to the ground level, that's when it will start to be a problem. And because it's a platformer tricky jumps are probably going to happen frequently.

Also doesn't really excuse that it'll still make the game look like poo poo if it can't stay consistent (this includes Zelda).

i got this and tried to apply it even in a steamy bathroom as recommended and hosed it up, they sent me a replacement, and i still hosed it up somehow. i'm just going to throw caution to the wind on not using one because i live on the edge

I didn't use the steamy bathroom, just an overhead light. I ended up with one microscopic dust particle under the glass but it's only noticeable when the power's off so who cares :shrug:

It just takes time and using tape or stickers to grab dust after you use the pre-wipes.

The tale of How Infinitum Managed To Really Really Slow Down Binding of Isaac

Once upon a time Infinitum did a XXXXXXXXL challenge run and got Tammy's Head + Dr Fetus + Sad Bombs + Apple (Razor Tears) + Poison Tears + Coin Tears + Constant Base Damage Upgrades

He proceeded to one shot everything at 5fps.
The end.







The only way that could have been better is if I got the pyromaniac item to avoid taking bomb damage :allears:

I have a bit of an odd request: Does anyone have one of the little black gamepad stands that came with the Wii U that they no longer want? Not the charging cradle, but just the simple little stand? I need a spare, and I figured I'd ask NintenGoons before buying one directly from Nintendo

I finally found a place where the Joy-cons are inexplicably weak, and it's my basement. Yea anywhere else so far, I can play with my hands behind my back, upside down, but in that specific environment, my knee can literally be enough to jam the connection a foot and a half away from the switch.

Still agree that you should send in your joycons just to be safe. I'm a month in and this happened just now, but had I been living in the basement, it would've be unusable.

Protip BoI is one of the best games out on the system and I strongly recommend grabbing it if you bought it on Steam/PS4/etc previously

It is really really really drat good in handheld mode.

I reinstalled the original binding of Isaac and didn't remember all the items and forgot that it doesn't tell you what they do. I dumped a lot of time into that but lol if I'm going to keep a wiki open when I'm playing a game. I finished my run at Mom and uninstalled.

Now, if they put Spelunky on the switch I'd buy that again.

I've never played BoI but am going to wait until it's marked down to $12 or included in a Switch Humble Bundle or whatever they are because it's the type of game that'll drop in price dramatically sooner than later.

Part of the fun of the game is learning what the items do and making choices based on the items you're given. "Okay, so orbital tears suck by themselves but if I get another item down the line that synergizes nicely with it, I'll be crazy OP... but am I gonna be able to make it out of this floor if I do take them?" (That was me last night, and no, I couldn't).

Sometimes you get an item that you don't know, and it's terrible, and it ruins your run. Sometimes you forget what Bob's Rotten Head looks like, you take it, and it ruins your run. That's part of the game. You're not gonna win every time, and sometimes it's not even your fault you lose.

Also Rebirth and the expansions make the game way, way better. I've tried playing the original flash version and I can't.
