I woke up today and found out that there still isn't a virtual console for the Nintendo Switch.

There's a bunch of Neo Geo virtual console games. And an old Sega master system game.

That's interesting... I always thought that the touch screen thing needing to be replicated with a controller so that they could release a budget Switch 3 years from now without a tablet.

Or maybe they could create a Switch where you have the console hooked to the tv, and then you have a tablet in your hand that allows touchscreen input on the separate console.

Something like that would do incredibly well, I'd bet.

Yeah it's up in the Coming Soon section on the Aus eShop. Cheers mate.

$6.50AUD 27/4 release. Indies are the best~

Like apparently it's only around an hour to beat, but it's less than a couple of plays at an arcade. Worth the purchase I reckon.

Hey thread, my friends Switch has this weird problem where it says that it's charging but stops at 86% and drains super fast- but when it gets to 5% it can go on for another hour and a half. It's effecting his controllers too from what I understand, just something hosed with the display.

He sent it in like a week and a half ago and just got it back and the problem is still there. Should I tell him to send it in again or is there some solution floating around for this?

I can't wrap my head around Puyo at all but it's still really fun to play even if I'm about as good as a baby at setting up chains. Tetris though I think I'm pretty okay at. Here's to hoping the full game helps me improve at both :buddy:

That seems weird. Unless something is wrong with his battery, letting it cycle a few times should fix the calibration so it gives a more realistic level.

I can't seem to really grasp Puyo Puyo at all. I am decent at Tetris but I always forget to look at my pieces coming up. I think that's why i'm not good at Puyo puyo. That seems like a game where you have to plan everything, and you can't treat each piece as a new puzzle like you can with Tetris.

I hear that the fix is to let it run all the way down until it shuts off, then recharge it to recalibrate the battery sensor or whatever, but if it persisted after sending it in I don't know that it'd be worth trying again before they've figured out the issue for real

Told my friend to let the batteries run out, he called up to Nintendo while thats going on and they basically said "yeah we get so many of these things in maaaybe we kinda didn't give it much of a glance and just sent it back." so lol top quality on that.

We never got stuff as cool as the stuff the Japanese one had. We got some of their good stuff, but most never came over.

Don't they sell like, special tablets that essentially look like prototype switches with integrated physical controllers that make emulating stuff super easy? Is all the commotion over the NES and potential SNES mini just wanting to get one because it looks nice?

They are still significantly more consumer friendly than most companies I buy electronics from. I just don't get free game holders, 3ds, Wii U, and classic games from them anymore. I shipped off my joy con to be fixed on a Tuesday and got it back on Friday.

I will say their VC prices are garbage and not consumer friendly.

The most insulting "reward" for me was when Xbox gave me 15 cents in MS points for my birthday.

I really hope My Nintendo gets as good as Club Nintendo eventually. I scored like 20 free games that last year from hording points.
