This dry spell since Mk8DX has been interminable. Imagine if Nintendo had games lined up for this expiring system... Stardew valley maybe? But when?

Are the slowdown issues with botw on switch just gone now? Ive done both kakariko village and hateno village and have yet to see any slowdown undocked. To be fair I haven't played docked at all, maybe it's worse there?

Either way it appears to run great to me.

It does perform a bit worse when docked because of an increase in resolution.

You will see framerate issues in areas with very dense vegetation, when there's a lot of particle effects going on, or sometimes for seemingly no reason, when docked. But it's very mild and it no longer happens when there's just slightly more blades of grass than average on screen.

The one major frame-drop situation I've encountered replaying Master mode has been a couple of places involving a mass burning of those thorn vines. That'll bring the system to a 10fps slideshow until the burning is over.

Otherwise it's running better than launch by a pretty good margin.

That was my first thought. My gut says "yes", but it won't be localized. PSO2 isn't very graphically intensive and is still pretty popular in Japan.

edit: Handheld PSO2 would be baller, I'd set up a japanese profile to play it on Switch, translation or no translation

PSO2 for Switch would be even more surprising than Metroid Prime 4

that said I can't imagine what the keyboard will be for besides 2 or 3 niche garbage games but I hope I'm wrong.

I've accepted we're probably not getting Golf Story / Stardew / Wargroove until like early September because Chucklefish, like Devolver, is the worst in the world about updating when to expect games

It wouldn't surprise me at all, there's a PS4 version and a mobile game. Japanese gamers love handhelds so it kind of seems like a no-brainer. They are getting ready to release episode 5, that would be as good a time as any to announce a Switch version.

I'd be really shocked if they announced a western localization though, the official word from SEGA on that has been "no news at this time" since they announced it was coming back in like 2012.

There were actually regular keyboards that could be plugged into a control port too, I had one. I've never seen that monster outside of threads/articles about weird or failed game peripherals

It had online play, but it required either the dial-up or broadband adapter and maybe five people max played the thing online.

thats because it goes into sleep mode when you put it in the dock even if the switch is turned off properly before hand. you need to turn it off through the power options while its in the dock for it not to drain battery when you turn off the power.
