Bill Barber posted:Define play games "with"? Do you mean co-op multiplayer type stuff, or simply both of you sitting together and playing a video game? If it's the former I'd definitely get the Switch. It seems like developers are REALLY hammering the whole social/multiplayer aspect with the games they release for it. While they might not be triple-a games, a ton of the stuff in the eShop offers fun co-op and competitive local play.

I'm telling you you're wrong, just like people who say Overcooked on Switch doesn't have problems are wrong, because they either don't notice these things or don't care. If you're B rank it doesn't matter if some kills are due to p2p issues or code, but if Nintendo wants this to be their marquee and only competitive multiplayer game for over a year then they have to do better. The thing is they won't and that's kind of sad Also what does it being better than Splatoon 1 matter? Does that excuse the issues?

The thing is they won't and that's kind of sad I I have been playing Splatoon one since the test fire. I seen all the things you're talking about and I don't see them anymore in the second version unless I'm playing with somebody in Japan or who simply doesn't have a good connection and the effects are describing only show up for them individually. I don't have problems shooting or being shot by the other people in the game. You can convince yourself the rest of us are just putting blinders on or it's you. We all pretty much agree than Nintendo's net code totally needs work but it's not solely the source of your woes

The netcode issues do exist, but they happen rarely enough and randomly enough (you're equally as likely to be the guy who kills someone in 2 shots as you are the guy who gets killed in 2 shots) that it literally doesn't matter at all, especially when "advancing in rank". Sounds like you're just complaining cause you keep dying and you're trying to explain it away on lovely net code. You also claim that the weapon differences don't even matter which makes me question your understanding of the competitive game mechanics entirely.

Rather than rushing through Zelda I would just send it back with the intention of beating it later. It's OK to step away and play something more focused to stay fresh.

Hmmm, there seems to be too much opinion here in this rumor piece and not enough actual substance. But I can't wait for other places and people to start talking about it as if it were fact. Especially considering a bunch of stuff is contradicted by other stuff that's happened in the past year. Also the fact that the last year and a half or so has been the year where Nintendo-related rumors have been either exceedingly wrong or exceedingly right, no middle ground unless it's a part of the rumor made up by the person reporting on it themselves.

I don't know what this tic poo poo is but Splatoon 1 and 2 both feel much better connection-wise to me than Call of Duty or Gears of War. There's lag sometimes but it's easy to anticipate and deal with unlike those games imo.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:hosed up story, friends. A co-worker got her daughter a Switch for her birthday and we were all having a post work BBQ. She had yet to buy any games so I offered her to try out the good games I have bought for my Switch to see if her daughter liked any. I remember in grade school I went over to this kids house, and he had a snes and had sim city. He let me play it, and I decided to save my game, well there was only 2 save slots, and I had saved my game over his sisters save which she spent who knows how many hours on. She was in the next room and found out what happened, and her anger over losing her save overrided the fact that she had never met or seen me before, and she started calling me a fool and an idiot, while I tried hard not to laugh.

Both would be a shame if true but Megamix would be a good game to go out on for Rhythm Heaven and Mother 3 already has the best possible fan translation. I do think that eventually they'll just pay the people that made that and release it officially.

There's lag sometimes but it's easy to anticipate and deal with unlike those games imo. A tic is just how many times per second a server updates a player's location. Games with low tic rates often translate into you getting hit by somebody when you round a corner or conversely a hit not registering because a player is moving too fast or irregularly, depending on the net code. It doesn't quite matter as much for Splatoon since the movement speed is on the slow side and the game doesn't focus too heavily on combat as other shooters anyways.

The team that worked on Rhythm Heaven got consolidated as did most Nintendo teams, so they could be busy on something else. And NoA getting cold feet about Mother 3 makes more sense than thinking NoJ had anything to do with it imo.

Cefte posted:I'm looking to get a console purely to play games with my partner for an hour or two a week. Does the Switch offer anything beyond a minor graphics upgrade that she won't even notice, or is the game selection limited enough that there's little differential between it and a second-hand Wii U? A bit late to the party, but the second hand Wii U is much better than the Switch in your case, both financially and game selection wise. Also, there's absolutely no guarantee most of the Wii U games you'd want will ever get a Switch port, in spite of the thread hoping really hard.

Wii U is a bad purchase. they're not supported anywhere and any future Nintendo titles will not be on it. It's a dead console and has been for a year. it's fine to pick up if there's stuff you must have on there, but that doesn't seem the case.

What if I see a platform above me but I didn't jump in time to get to it do I go back think of sonic levels as high speed puzzles that you can clear however you like the first time. then you can find extra fun going back and replaying levels to figure out more efficient and or cool ways to clear them faster
