Switch finally arrived today (along with MK, Zelda and Arms). Unfortunately, I don't have my 3DS any longer, so I can't migrate over my friends list; SW-1852-1918-3399 is me & I'll be adding people from the goon spreadsheet.

It's shocking that Nintendo sat on this game forever if it was finished, that's a long time to wait but this alone will sell a lot of SNES classic alone, and then again on the Switch.

I mean they do it with games released today, just on a much smaller timescale of course. Like according to conventional wisdom Mario Odyssey has basically been "done" since the beginning of the year and they have basically just been polishing the game up for release at the end of the Oct. If they had really wanted to Odyssey quite possibly could have made the Switch launch if they had really wanted it to at the home-stretch. Same for BOTW and other various titles.

Just picked up a second hand Pro controller since I got my switch back. I suspect it's probably got zilch in the battery right now so I'm going to have to charge when I get home. Can anyone verify whether or not you can charge the pro controller with a wall adapter WHILE using it? Google isn't giving me the love I typically expect.

Yes, that's fine. When used wirelessly, the Pro Controller doesn't care what it is/isn't connected to.

If I remember right, you can, but you can't scan Amiibo while it's charging. Yeah, I don't understand it either.

Ok great, thanks guys. I was really just worried about charging it for six hours before I could start playing Zelda with it.

You can't scan amiibo while it's in wired mode (which you have to manually activate) and connected to the console. If the cable is only charging the controller and not transmitting data, amiibos work.

Ventana posted:It may be the more updated version of the game. The ROM leak wasn't the most up to date build apparently and is said to be missing quite a few features. Ehhhhhh did you actually read the link though? quote:As for Star Fox 2, Cuthbert insisted once again that the widely circulated 'leaked' ROM is not fully representative of the final product, and frankly we'll take his word for it - some try to argue that it's a final build of the game, as if they'd actually know better than Cuthbert. In any case, he wrote a little about the disappointment of that game never being released, and why we're unlikely to ever see its final form in public. This is not actually a quote of Cuthbert saying "omg you guys the game is missing so much", this is a very game-of-telephone style bad journalism where the writer is injecting his own attitude and bias into the writing. What it really is, is that Cuthbert said to the author once (not quoted) that starfox 2 was missing some things, and the author then took that to mean "omg its missing so much you guys, like so much" The only things actually mentioned missing: some rogue-style encounters, and some arenas. Don't know what he meant by rogue-style, but the version of starfox2 that everybody played totally had random elements and played different than starfox 1 by a lot. Maybe the bit missing is that it would have been more random... but I don't really think that's a "major" missing feature like you're making it out to be. Nor is missing "a few arenas". Would be cool to have those things of course, but I really really really doubt that the final build of starfox 2 is anything more than a bug-fixed version of the romdump everybody has played. Most of the things Cuthbert talks up in that interview are things they added or changed for the re-release, not necessarily missing features from the SNES. And even then he doesn't really say anything definitive beyond "roguelike and a few arenas". Oyster posted:This article is brought up a lot, and it really seems like he's talking about an old ROM. There are multiple ROMs out there in different states, and the latest one has "roguelike encounters" and "different arenas", while the early alpha ROM did not have those. I'm happy to be wrong, I'll take more Star Fox 2, but I'm extremely skeptical. Yeah see that's what I thought. It doesn't sound like he's talking about the romdump we've played. I don't think its missing much at all, just maybe a couple bugs.

And nowadays its not even considered :files: by anybody anymore since its so old and obsolete, with the only other way of getting most of those games being wii virtual console, which ITSELF is now also obsolete (but there is wiiu virtual console... also now obsolete... but maybe we'll get switch VC soon!)

I know several people who played Super Mario once upon a time on a laptop but don't own a ps4 or an xbox or anything. But definitely virtually all of the uber nerd gaming goons. It hasn't been considered :files: for years and people post huge bundles of ROMs on the regular for building into raspberrypi machines and poo poo.

Star Fox 2 makes me realize - what other nearly complete but unreleased titles exist that Nintendo could pull out of their vault (I believe they always had much better prototype/asset archival than poo poo like "throw out sonic's source code" Sega or "throw out chrono cross's original backgrounds" Square) and polish up a bit for an actual release?

They had models and buildings in 3D and the story they created got used for Mother 3, it was maybe early alpha playable, but they definitely didn't have it mostly done like starfox 2. Not something they could just polish up. "early alpha" is probably being generous and it was more like a few test rooms tops. If they did actually finish it that'd be goddamn amazing, but alas.

I'd pay 60 usd for a full 3d version of Mother 3 even at n64 level graphics. Probably bad fiscal decision though. Also now that I think about it, they could adjust that BS Zelda Satellaview into an unreleased "hd" (more like mario all-stars but with 1 game) version of Zelda 1. They could even port over the unique radio audio style campaigns with some new voice actors. For a Zelda game it'd be relatively low cost for an "unreleased Zelda" experience.

No, its not "like" that at all. You don't just get to move the goalposts like that. You said not many people download roms and you're flat wrong. Millions of people have downloaded ROMs. I never said the NES classic was dumb just because you can download ROMs. Don't put words in my mouth, and don't try to suddenly shift the argument suddenly because you realize you were being silly. I did suggest that people should buy a real SNES, but that's different.

I think there's a reasonable chance that Nintendo releases the vitality sensor for the Switch at some point. A meditation 'game' would be very popular for the DS Brain Age crowd if costs were low enough.
