The NES30 Pro controller I ordered arrived and it's pretty nice. Not as good as a Switch Pro controller, though that's to be expected, but worth it as an extra 'pro' controller for sure.

Wait, whaaat? They are compatible with Switch now? That's awesome. Can't wait to try that with mine.

Like you could be a silver rank ryu in street fighter 5 if you could back up and hit triangle, r1, r2 everytime your opponent is about to hit a button

Sure, but the idea that you could perfectly execute a near-instantaneous response every single time is insane. If you're a machine and you can do that, you can surely do combos too.

Acting like you can be competitive if you can't do combos worth even 10% of a player's life bar is flat loving wrong. :colbert: don't play coy.

ARMS is definitely a fighting game but definitely VERY different than most fighting games and uses very different skills, like Smash Bros.

That is a valid point and you're both playing dumb and being stupid.

Arms is poop and if you enjoyed the beta you are a butt.

Edit: to actually bring something useful to the conversation, I started playing MGS 5 this weekend and I am constantly wishing this was on the switch. Graphics just don't matter that much anymore. I want every game to come out on the switch so I can play it wherever the gently caress I want.

ARMs would get no more than a 7.5 or if your game informer a 8.75 if it wasn't being done by nintendo and being propped up as a tentpole on a new and not at all dead console.

Part of their latest firmware update so you gotta do that first, but otherwise sounds like it works fien.

It's a fighting game I'm not horrible at so it gets 11/10 from my biased rear end. Similar how the best multiplayer FPS I've ever played is Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.

People were mentioning a Disgaea 5 crash.

Does it just close the game on you or freeze? I just got the game to freeze on me but every time I put the console in sleep mode and start it back up it works for like 3 seconds or so before freezing again

Maybe when you're good but when you're a ~casual~ like me fighting games are about trying to remember the 8 button long input, doing it wrong, and getting destroyed by the other player. I have more success just spamming one reliable move than actually trying to remember all the fancy tricks my character can do. Its not very fun and I don't feel like putting in the time required to advance beyond that skill level.

ARMS feels really different because the basic fighting is so simple. Its way more enjoyable to people like me.

you can start in any fighting game just knowing a 2-3 button combo that leads to a knock down and then guessing what they are going to do when they get up. like even in guilty gear with 15 hit combos on the regular you can just choose a character with a lot of life and high damage output and still beat your friends 2-3 hits at a time if you are just outplaying them. then as you get comfortable you build from there until you are good. its like anything else. its called depth and it feels good to grow instead of being scared.

He would like Nintendo best because they have the least market cap and their executives forgo pay to ensure continued employment for their employees in harsh times. And because the only good CEO is a dead CEO and Nintendo has had lots of those recently.

I feel you, I hate when I miss a splatoon demo, the 1 hour window sucks.

It is a stress test though, so they can check the server load. A proper demo otherwise would be great but :sigh: almost nobody does demos anymore.
