LethalGeek posted:Can pay for a $300 console and $60 games but $20/Year for online is a bridge too far for the same people who paid $10 for a forum account and probably have things like netflix/hulu/etc. You're looking at it from the wrong perspective. The majority of Pokemon players are kids who don't have disposable income, much less pay for subscription services, and parents who aren't clued into the video game market will absolutely take the stance of "I already bought you the console and the game, why should I pay a monthly fee on top of that? It's already got two controllers, just go play it with your friends." And do you really want to play Pokemon without someone to wonder trade your breeding rejects to, or Splatoon without

It's 2017, are parents still surprised at subscription charges for online console game services?

acksplode posted:It's 2017, are parents still surprised at subscription charges for online console game services? Yeah, exactly. My parents would be super confused and tell me to go without. They were adamant that I could pause an online game in the 2000's. I feel like the parents now are pretty aware of how video games and subs work.

Found out during my non-rooftop Switch party last night that I have at least 2 joycons out of 4 with desync issues. I will say Nintendo support was extremely helpful in getting me set up for a repair, hopefully they're as effective in actually fixing/replacing these things.

LethalGeek posted:When I'm actually paying for it then I'll bitch it doesn't work right. Though I'm surprised Mario Kart maintained it's connected when I docked the machine, though it did so by staying on the wifi instead of jumping on the wireless. I had to disconnect completely before it changed the connection type which frankly I can't blame them for doing it that way. Yeah, I'm not too broken up about it not working perfectly right now however it is supposed to be a beta for their upcoming subscription model and it doesn't inspire confidence to have it have issues people have had with Nintendo consoles connecting to internet for two generations now. The issue is that if I have to pay for an internet service that isn't strong AND an app to actually coordinate with people, it's going to suck. I hope I'm wrong

I just find it interesting that I seem to be the only one in all the groups I am put in CONSTANTLY LOSING THE GAME. :p It should be clear that my points or rank were not the problem I am having. It's that if you are constantly being hosed in the rear end over and over and over and over... it becomes less fun? I don't have a solution to this, at all. It'd just be nice to come even remotely close to winning every once in a blue moon.

So that feels pretty rare... yeah. Its gonna. Mario kart is a cruel mistress. You are in 1st the whole race and then you get 2 blueshells and 3 red shells and finish 10th. Meanwhile somebody else starts a race in 1st and maintains a huge lead while you're stuck in 2-5 jockeying back and forth with shells. Hey man that's just how it is. This ain't no Gran Turismo. Just gotta chill and take it as it comes. Try to cheer other people's successes or other people's losses as much as you cheer your own wins, it'll give you more things to get happy about.

Cut the new age bullshit, man. :p And yea, I know I can;t win all the time. I don't even want to win most of the time. I just don't want to be the guy constantly in 8th or 9th (or worse place) because the back of the pack is just: Lightning (1 second) Squid (1 second) Red Shell (1 second) Spun out by another car... I'm just venting. It feels lovely when that's all that happens in every race you're in. I'm not hating on the game, or wanting it to be something it's not. I've never thrown a controller... I just verbally vent.

parents already navigate streaming and digital subscriptions these days, there's no reason to think they'd consider an on-line fee to be a deal breaker.

I just find it interesting that I seem to be the only one in all the groups I am put in CONSTANTLY LOSING THE GAME. :p If you feel slighted based on your own perceived skill and get trounced by absolutely everyone else in a match, then you might be unluckily getting lumped in with nothing but Wii U veteran tryhards. There's lots of them out there. Also, getting stuck in the 3rd - 7th place limbo seems extra lovely now that there are two item slots. Like, you don't want to fall below 3rd place online, ever. You can recover -- I saved a replay the other day where I got hit 4 or 5 times in a row and still came back to take 1st -- but that's pretty reliant on the aforementioned veterans not running perfect lines unhindered. You can also try what I do when I get hosed by items. I find out which Mii belongs to the guy who won by a landslide and comment on how smug and stupid it looks. Feels good man.

They're gonna release all three Mother games, in English, on a single bargain priced cart, physical release only. They will drastically underestimate demand.

Feenix posted:What do the little X stars things do at the end of races in Mario Kart? they just indicate how "well" you did in the grand prix. three stars = the full 60 points, two stars = 57 points i think? and one star for slightly less than that. edit: oh wait i am dumb. you mean pushing the button to 'flag' a race afterwards? it saves it for the Mario Kart TV mode, so it shows up in your saved videos later.

What does the thing that comes up at the end of individual races do? The thing that's got a counter X/6 next to it? I hit the button once and now it says 1/6 but I don't know what it's referring to? (i can try to be more vague if that's helpful  )

went back and edited my post cuz i'm a moron: they save the race for viewing later in Mario Kart TV mode, so you can make an edit reel of your crushing defeats / staggering wins

The best part of a potential English Mother 3 release is the inevitable fans that claim they hate the official translation. I hope it comes out and they call it Earthbound 2 just so we don't have to call the series Mother anymore.

So the Switch is still selling like hotcakes? I probably will get one but not until they come out with a thinner and lighter "Switch Lite". I'm kinda hoping they come out with one with a ~5 inch screen, thinner (meaning no stupid cooling fan), and of course lighter with better battery life.
