I just sent you a request (Andy).
I've got Minecraft and would be down to play. If you see me playing shoot a tweet at Smithaw and we can figure out a Skype or Discord.

Or I'll just get plat tomorrow.

Awesome! I added you back. I don't do Skype anymore because my account got hacked by some sort of bot (I never signed into it so it wasn't a huge loss) and I couldn't prove I was me so my account is lost forever or whatever. I could probably get it back if I tried hard enough but I just don't care. It's been disabled because I guess the bot was spamming people with virus-y links. So that sort of sucks but eh.

I do use Discord however.

I'm on discord as Beastie. Shoot me a request and we'll hash out a plan.

I've had Minecraft on 360 and Xbone but I haven't played with friends so I'm stoked.

Those are pretty solid. I like them almost as much as the Surge ones.

I took a look at those and I have a question about the Surge ones (joycon grips, since this is from a couple pages ago). The FastSnail ones have big looking SR and SL buttons, but the Surge ones don't. What makes them still better, just the way they feel in your hands or something? I'm probably going to bite on the FastSnail ones because they look like God's own controller, the GameCube.

If anyone cares I grabbed the neon yellow joycons from Target last night and they look sooo good. For whatever reason they don't translate to photos or even the box art. The real colors looks awesome in person.

It's launching on Switch with the Multiplayer, right...

The Multiplayer is made by Chucklefish, so never. The port is probably also made by them, so double never.

They look so bad in pictures and videos I just don't want to take the chance. Maybe if I saw them at a friend's house or something I would be tempted. As it is I'm happy with two blues but what I would really love is purple.

Purple or Metroid green would be 10/10. For real though these are killer. They have none of the pukey dingy look in person. They're beautifully matte and bright and they contrast the dark buttons in a pleasing way.

I'm sad joycons are so expensive but they're so nice looking. I wouldn't mind collecting some of my favorite variations.

Yeah they just barely managed to get me with the pro controller at $70. I want them yellow joy-cons a whole lot, and can even kind of justify it because I regularly do a lot of multiplayer poo poo, but the few times I've hovered over ordering them the price tag of near a hundred bucks when it's all said and done keep stopping me. It just feels a little too insane.

DC Murderverse

"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

I bought an extra set of joy cons when I bought the system which is the only thing stopping me from buying the yellow ones now. When/if they ever get down to $50 for a pair I might buy yellow ones and one of whatever other color they have so I'll have four colors of each R/L side. Then I can mix and match them to my heart's content!

edit: having a second pair of joy cons means you can play 4-player Mario Kart, Puyo/Tetris, and I think Arms which is reason enough for me.

Erk I'm flying to Melbourne for work shortly and my Switch managed to drain its while battery in my case

Lucky I noticed and have been charging it at the office, in my car and now in the lounge and it's at 39% so far. Hope that arms doesn't chew much battery.....

It lasted most of the way

No motion controls though

No hooking up with cute women, although that may have been because there were none in the vicinity. Tests will continue on the next flight.

If you haven't been to Melbourne before, go check out the bigass EB Games on Swanston St if you have time.

Well it's the Switch thread, after all :shrug:. Otherwise we've got the usual touristy things like the Melbourne Museum, Zoo and Aquarium.

Or the London Eye knockoff over in the Docklands, with a lovely view of the railyards and cargo docks, that frequently breaks down and closes for months at time.

Using Capcom for a benchmark for 3rd-party support hasn't been a good metric for over ten years now. Every Indie studio that can manage to port their game(s) to Switch either has done so or been quite vocal about planning to in either a digital, or even physical, release. The lower baseline hardware specs also mean the Switch is courting all those mid-tier studios that couldn't quite put together a 4K HD AAA title for the PS4 for budget reasons, but happily churned out decent titles on the Vita (along with PS4 ports of said titles for Western releases, I guess :v:).

No. For reference, Monster Hunter Generations sold 82% of their total sales in Japan alone, which is getting XX on Switch. It sucks for people like me but it's fine from a 3rd party perspective.

The Switch was dead before it even launched.
