There was similar kinds of patent trolling with the wii remote and 3DS's, err, 3D, I believe.

Fun Times! posted:Those games aren't very similar to one another, but if I had to get one right now I would get Phantom Trigger because I'm not a huge fan of puzzle games. Though Ironcast looks fun as well. Slime-san is like Meat Boy with tighter levels and controls with slo-mo and phasing abilities plus lots of alt playstyles and charming hubworld stuff + secrets. If you liked Meat Boy you'll like Slime-san; if you hate Meat Boy you might also like it too due to the better control and construction of how levels work (they're quick and on a "lake of fire is rising" time limit) Blaster Master is one of the best "true retro classic" games I've played since Shovel Knight, it gets what made classic games fun while also adding quality of life poo poo like lots of savepoints, a map system, strafing, and lots of optional upgrades and items. Also has tons of replay potential with over 4 completely unique DLC characters. Gunvolt Burst is essentially the Mighty No.9 demake we all deserved; it's quick and fun and to the point, and comes with a bonus character. Can't comment on Shantae/Wonderboy but they both look good. Phantom Trigger, imo, is a decidedly worse Hyper Light Drifter that's more boring. That's the only game of the bunch I'd say not to get.

From what I've seen on that MyMateVince guy's Youtube alot of the other controllers don't give you the full range of motion on the joysticks. It's either off or on for movement. He wasn't using this particular one. Kind of lovely to deal with for MK8 and other things. Just buy a pro controller because they are cool and good.

Slime-san looks interesting. I might pick it up before my flight. Also Darkest Dungeon on the switch would be amazing.

Guy Goodbody posted:It's hosed up that there are multiple levels of cold in Zelda. You eat a cold resistance food but it turns out the top of a robot bird is double-cold so gently caress your spicy beef Make 2-3 tier resist food/potions, buy some of the clothes in the bird town since each piece of gear gives a level of cold resist, or put on the freebie cold res shirt you get at the start of the game and eat your tier 1 cold resist spicy beef since they'll stack. whaley posted:"Nintendo hit by lawsuit over Switch design" http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-08-11-nintendo-hit-by-lawsuit-over-switch-design Nintendo's going to destroy these people if their argument is "you copied a device of ours that came out 2 years after the WiiU." Maybe they figure they have a shot since the joycons look like their devices but good loving luck getting more than a "here's some money so you gently caress off and stop wasting our time" offer, at best, from Nintendo.

I really hate patent troll bullshit. brb gonna patent the concept of interactive media on a screen and sue everything in existence

Why is rubber banding in a single player racing game such a bad thing? It keeps the challenge interesting imo.

You want to keep up the illusion of a close race, but not overly break the illusion that computers are cheating (even though they usually have to).
