I was surprised that there was no option to change language for the eshop, it seems to default to the regional language when it would make sense to check the language of the device.

Yeah, that seems to be the case, but it's not bad to navigate in. Searching would be a problem though I suppose for non-native speakers.

They're indications that a Korok is near by.

e: Specifically, a pin wheel means that there is an arrow challenge near by. When you stand next to a pin wheel one of two things happens. Either balloons will appear and move in patterns, or Korok pots will appear and jump around in a pattern. Breaking them with arrows will cause a Korok to appear and give you his golden nut seed.

PS Vita launched with an Uncharted game, a Wipeout and a Hot Shots Golf game that were so good that they became the new standard for their franchises (they're just now replacing Hot Shots on PS4), the best new Lumines game since 2, a new Super StarDust game, portable definitive versions of Rayman Origins and Ultimate Marvel 3 (that was also feature definitive until the recent PC port), the best version of Virtua Tennis 4, and I really liked that Shinobido 2. Dreamcast had an insane lineup with stuff like Sonic Adventure, Soul Calibur, Ready 2 Rumble Boxing, Power Stone, NFL 2K, and House of the Dead 2. PS4 got by with definitive console versions of stuff like Battlefield 4, Assassin's Creed: Black Flag, NBA 2K, and Resogun is still a very good game.

Out of like the past 5 or 6 consoles I've bought I'd say the only one that didn't have a very good/decent launch lineup was Wii U.

That UMVC3 statement is misleading as gently caress. If you like playing a fighting game with crappy controls and on a system that is not good at all for local play (a big deal for fighting games) then sure it's okay. But in truth, Vita is not a good system for fighting games and the modes it has aren't very good nor make up for that fact.

To be honest, that Vita and PS4 lineup is still pretty weak since everything is a port and not very exciting. Botw is a port as well though at least it was a simultaneous port unlike the other examples there, and is the much better game.

Uncharted: Golden Abyss not a port... pretty sure neither was Hot Shots or Wipeout. Sequels sure but not ports.

Making a Japanese account is really easy. It's buying the games that is tricky. I had to decipher the Japanese address system, move through Japanese Amazon, and wait like 45 minutes for them to approve my purchase of MK8D.

Still, worth it to get the game a day early.

I didn't say I liked the Switch's lineup outside of Botw though?

Last good Launch lineup is Dreamcast, and even then it was only okay. No console launch is ever going to be super astounding and people shouldn't buy consoles on a silly qualifier.

I guess what took 45 minutes was Amazon.jp was checking my Japanese address (Tokyo Municipal Building). The Reddit post that I followed (it was in the old OP) said that sometimes they just reject it. I got lucky. I felt like some super hacker being able to get MK8 early, even though region free is a feature.

What in the world are people expecting from a Splatoon sequel that would be so fundamentally different from the original? Like, when Doom 2 came out, did everyone complain that it should have just been a $5 WAD file?

DOOM 1's non-shareware version wasn't readily available when DOOM II was launched, the only real way to get it legally was via mail order. For most people, DOOM II was the "full" version of DOOM 1 shareware.

Ordering a game by mail is still more likely than owning a Wii U. Splatoon 2 is fine.

I wish Switch was powerful enough to play DOOM 2016 at 60fps or even Nier at like 30 but I doubt either would be feasible. Persona 3/4/5 though, I'd rather get those than SMT

I bought a PS4 because it was gonna have Uncharted 4 and KOF14 and barring another game or two that's all i've got for it but i'm fine with that because KOF14 is really good.
