It's the part with the green lava which I finally memorized enough to get past only to drop into that room with the explody blocks and the bad jouster. I fall in lava every time and cry :(

Uh actually roms released and sold by the copyright holder are perfectly fine and good.

But when Nintendo didn't make those ROMs themselves?

Should I save money and buy physical or go all in on digital?

I would say Digital is the better option for any portable system. I've found I play games less if I have to carry around a separate card.

It means Nintendo is stealing IP from the person who created the ROM storage format. They are thieves and buying anything from them supports piracy.

So I got one of these on Friday but then was out all weekend so I only tried it out properly yesterday. It's pretty nice although I haven't sorted out the dock and stuff to put it on the tv yet. Controls taking a little to get used to but feel like they'll be really good once I've got them worked out. Will probably grab a pro controller at some point though. zelda is good fun so far

Anyway, it's a good thing I couldn't get Persona 5 off Amazon until next month because that made me say gently caress it and I ordered a Switch instead because they seem to have gone out of stock again.

I got it and played about ten hours of it. Just not for me, I don't have the coordination for shooters. I liked playing as roller, but I didn't really have much time for multiplayer gaming.

Splatoon never felt good to me either. The rounds just never seemed very satisfying and the controls didn't feel great. I wish squid form felt faster or more fluid. Titanfall 2 has basically ruined other games movement systems for me though.

Sorry, guy.
I know today's focus is primarily on Splatoon2 and ARMS, but my hope is (whether it's called VC or not) we get SOME classic Nintendo games (or just Wii-Wii-U, whatever) stuff. Lots of folks onboarded at the Switch and these past games are all new to them, and with kind of an anemic(ish... I'm still playing Zelda from launch...) library right now, a "And you can now play X, Y, and Z... RIGHT NOW!" announcement would be huge for them.

That said, this is an industry that can't keep poo poo secret. The fact that there are no rumblings or rumors of such says a lot...

[edit] in other news, is anyone else a little skeeved by the fact that the ARMS folks don't seem to have actual real arms. Their lives must be terrible. Either they are Armless and these are contraptions, or these are their arms, and life must be so hard...

Nintendo's entire E3 gameslist was leaked like a week or two in advance but nobody believed it and called bullshit because it said stuff like "Xenoblade2" and "ARMS." Things like Ryu and the whole Smash Bros lineup also got leaked way in advance, Nintendo seems to not be as airtight anymore
