:wrong: The battery lasts nearly forever, too. Gave mine a full charge last Wednesday, still haven't needed to re-charge, and that's with marathon sessions of Zelda and Blaster Master since.

Sad trombone for me as I get Mario Kart today and will immediately go online to experience death by shells from a bunch of seven year olds in a Lakitu gang.

Nah the dpad is kinda bad but it's my only complaint with the controller
It's definitely enough to make me play Tetris with the joycon dpad exclusively

If I wasn't expecting to use it for Splatoon (and likely other stuff) I'd probably return the Pro. The D-pad is hot garbage for PPT, and it is inherently inferior to the True Intended Control Scheme, split joycons. The controller has been a bit overhyped.

I'm going to make my second and third Switch game purchase, going to pick up that $5 dollar Japanese game and Blaster Master. I'm probably one of the only people not picking up Mario Kart. I didn't really get into it on the Wii U, preferred the Sonic racing game. Might get Mario Kart from Gamefly sometime just to see how nice it looks.

If you played the Wii U version, it's effectively the same thing. Renders at 1080p instead of 720p while docked, but still no antialiasing. Jaggies are a little better but still there. Not that I'm knocking it or anything, MK8 is still one of the greatest looking games I've ever played.

Oh, and an honorable mention for how great it looks in handheld mode, I guess. It's fuckin' MK8 with all the bells and whistles in the palms of your hands. I feel like the special effects may be dialed down just a bit, but nothing noticeable at speed.

With all the Square support happening for Switch I'm disappointed this didn't happen. Ubisoft games tend to be 50/50 on good or putrid but at least Nintendo will be on one side to ensure some kind of quality.

Yeah, this is what's pretty funny. Being right about one thing now validates all the bad stuff and everyone is stupid for having the nerve to think she was wrong again, despite being wrong a lot.

Hey, I'm not meaning to be mean. All these Nintendo rumor mongers entertain me as they give stuff to talk about...but they go nuts when people call them on being wrong, which is silly to me. If you don't want the poo poo that comes with being wrong, don't be reporting rumors.

edit- Jason Schreier is calling her on her twitter rant going on right now, and it's pretty funny. Again, I feel bad throwing shade at her because loving hell I know she has a hard time with things but man, she comes off as wildly unprofessional.

what do you expect from someone who does horrible podcasts with Jim Sterling.

every year/6 months some hotshot leaker says "this is the year Mother 3 comes out I swear" I've just tuned it out. I'm convinced Nintendo moves the release date at this point just to mindfuck those people. Pokemon Stars was reported by Eurogamer though and they have a great track record so I'd say that's a lock

You gotta admit though, Mother 3 would be a hell of a headline catcher for a Virtual Console announcement. There's no reason for VC to not have been talked about yet unless there was some sort of big announcement to go along with it.

I'm of the opinion that Mother 3 actually is ready but they shelved it because they knew WiiU was hosed and why waste such a big announcement on that? Now that Switch is skyrocketing they can port all their old poo poo as well as drop something like Mother 3 for major press

Adding Pokémon Bank as an included feature to the paid online service is such a no brainer that it probably won't happen.

Nintendo of Japan will probably do a Mother Collection of all 3 games, ala the Sieken Densetsu Collection, and never release it with an Eng translation.

Thus pissing off fanboys everywhere.

The reason it probably won't happen is the Pokémon company is a separate entity from Nintendo. (Though Nintendo is the sole owner of the trademark)

Sorry, guy.
I don't claim to be the best Mario Kart racer ever, but I know how to boost, and I know how to drift, etc...

That said, online is loving frustrating me.

It seems like I'm the only person, ever, who is under 1000 points. And I am under 1000 points, because all that ever happens to me is I get hit with 4 things in a row until I'm in 12th place, and then I get pity-power ups and manage to be 7th or 8th.

It's a fun game, but I have played like 30 online games so far and it's always the same drat story.


Sorry for my meltdown.
