Finally someone said it; I was going to have to because my brother and I spent many hours in that game. Got to the point where he, and sometimes I, could pivot, shoot missiles at the other, halfway across the track, and hit them. Good for getting back in the race if behind, and for a curbstomp if ahead.

I've used the pro controller once since I got it. It's not worth it unless you do all of your gaming docked.

I believe Emmanuelle is shit, though Emmanuelle 2, Emmanuelle '77 and Goodbye, Emmanuelle may be very good movies.
anyone know if the switch charges joycons while the system is turned off via holding the power button down? this sounds like a dumb question but let me explain, i turn my switch off instead of standby and i put the joycons on switch overnight, i assumed this was charging because i havent had to stop and charge for awhile. they cut out last night, both of them. did the same thing, power off system, joycons attached to recharge and i go to play just now and my joycons are still extremely low with my right con completely dead.

do these joycons have insane amount of playtime or are they now dying and dead forever. because if it's never charged when powered down then i have no idea how they haven't done this already since launch week.

Sounds like they don't then. Why not just leave your Switch in sleep mode? It doesn't seem to be designed to be turned off often.

It doesn't charge when it's powered off. The joycons last drat near forever.

The Switch doesn't even remain off if you have it docked. It automatically goes into standby mode.

i've been turning it off while docked the past few nights and then attaching joycons after. if its turning on when i dock it even while powered off then i think thats how its been charging when i come home from work and redock it and i haven't noticed. hmm mystery solved i guess! thanks guys.

Dallas Mavericks: Generations
So is there going to be anything new/worthwhile in Ultra Street Fighter 2 or is Capcom just hoping Switch users haven't heard of Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD? I remember reading the dev team for this game is made up of young and old Capcom employees but don't see how that would impact anything when it looks like they just ported an Xbox Live arcade game, added 2 palette swap characters, and a 1st person mode that will rarely get played. I don't understand how why a game I paid $15 for on the 360 years ago is being released as a new $40 game.

The Switch Pro will be a handheld the size of an Xbone. It's not portable as it will have three USB C ports and at all times it must be plugged in to the two included power adapters plus a third you need to buy or already have.

The Switch Pro will be the same as the Switch but with expansions on all side so you can stack and merge more Switches into a mega Switch. Some games will require multiple Switches to run properly.

I finally got my Switch home menu to have enough software that I can scroll over and choose to view an all software menu, that's pretty neat.

Does anyone mind giving me a little nudge as to where I'm supposed to go in Wonder Boy after becoming a mouse? I went left from the village and eventually found a heart upgrade but that was it.

Same. I love the handheld aspect because I can plug away at Zelda while I'm watching something on TV that doesn't require a lot of attention. But when I play it on the TV, pro controller is the way to go.

What's the difference between analog and digital triggers?

Digital triggers are just on/off buttons. analog triggers allow input based on change in pressure - so think like a gas/brake pedal in a racing game.

I mean the important thing to be able to do is to make a separate aim mode, like when you had the trigger locked all the way down in the Gamecube game, and that can be accomplished by just making that a separate trigger button (since the GC only had Z, L, & R). It wouldn't hurt much to just make the spray be full blast at all times.

They could release a pack-in squirt gun controller that'd work for splatoon as well

Bill Barber posted:

The joycons connect physically, not wirelessly, when attached to the Switch. Check the physical connection port on both the left joycon (at the very bottom of the black slider rail, underneath the overhang) and on the Switch (and the very bottom of the slider channel) to make sure they're not obstructed by foreign particles.

I ended up figuring it out. My right joycon was not completely docked, even though it was clicked in and working. Left one was actually working fine. I had to press that sync button on the right joycon and then resync by docking it for some reason.

Others have commented how the dock isn't really any more expensive than it's laptop equivalent (USB C & HDMI) so I decided to look for myself. $60 is the low end, they get even crazier from there. So yeah Nintendo is actually being at least no more or less lovely than everyone else on that front.

Edit: Sorta the same with the USB-C power bricks. I'm surprised, though you can find some of those for around $20.

Unrelated I really want FFXIV on this thing now that I'm playing it again. Also all games should come with a glider :colbert:

This happened to me with the Snipperclips demo... I would literally sell my joycons and just use the pro controller, but the fact that things like that happen and I couldn't even use the pro controller to go through the system setup means it's probably a really bad idea not knowing if any future system updates are going to make me use the joycons. I'm literally never going to use the joycons except in these really dumb situations.
