So Golf Story is at TGS right now. Sites are reporting on TGS right now. Nobody is reporting about Golf Story except Game Informer and that's only because it's going to be in their upcoming issue, not because it's at TGS.

What the gently caress is going on with Golf Story!?!?

I.... what? When I saw it in the Nintendo Direct I said to my friend "holy poo poo, I didn't know Rocket League could look so bad."
gently caress am I evoking PC privilege?

Just repeat "portability" to yourself and rock to and fro slowly. The horror of lofi textures and spotty wifi opponents will be exorcised from your mind

here's some more gameplay footage of gal metal

looks like it's just "swing right joycon for kick", "swing left joycon for snare", and "swing both joycons for cymbal"? :whitewater:

i think this game is gonna be way more casual than initial impressions led me to believe

Yea, I figure since we haven't heard much about Taiko no Tatsujin yet, that the Joy-Cons may not suited to that kind of ultra-demanding high paced accurate performance. I'll probably bite anyway; the artstyle and game in general looks cute enough.

What was wrong with it to you? I played it on PC for a free weekend and it didn't look noticeably that much worse to me from the Direct footage other than the expected resolution decease.

Mario's maybe second to Mickey Mouse in terms of easily recognized fictional characters and has been for years/decades. He hasn't needed to be in his default outfit to be immediately cognizable for a long time.

Mario and Mickey in fact swap back and forth as the most recognizable character in the world with children and the second most. Mario is worth literal billions as an ip

Please ask me for my google inspired wisdom on shit I know nothing about. Actually, you don't even have to ask.
Just want to thank the person in this thread who made the case for getting a WiiU in addition to the Switch. Did not realise WiiU can also play Wii and Gamecube titles. Between PC, Switch and WiiU I find it hard to fathom I will ever run out of GOOD GAMES.

As my BotW adventure has come to an end I started Metroid Prime. And people complain about Zelda feeling empty! Also jesus christ F-Zero GX is even faster and harder than I remember. Gimme that poo poo remastered with online play on the Switch Nintendo!

Apparently. The pros and folks who have gotten hands-on with it recently have been effusive. That may be over the 60fps rather than the textural quality; certainly, one matters a lot more to the game. But it looks fine to my eyes after 100s of hours of RL on PC at 1080p high settings.

I'm trying to take a screenshot of the Switch version to show the details missing but the video quality of the Nintendo Direct, even at 1080, is so bad that I can't actually get past the video compression issue. Mainly, the grass is bad, there are shaders absent, and the particle effects are toned down greatly. They had to make a lot of concessions to make it hit 60fps and, yes, I would rather it had 60fps than the quality or resolution of what you get on the PC or other consoles, but for some reason my many hours of play on PC makes me see this Switch version and go "ew.."

That said I'd probably pay 20 bucks to get the Metroid car in the PC version.

You're probably right, but the small Switch screen may make it look better like it does for a lot of games

In my idiotic defense, I was referring to the relativity of the port to the PC version. It still looks fine as a Switch game.

There is no master/slave console setting for switch so you cant do that trick. Ps3 and 4 have it too i guess cause they arent portable so loggin into a buds console might be something you need to do

Just saying, the dude elaborated on specifics don't freak out on him in some weird defensive backlash

I personally am going to love RL on switch and won't be bothered by lowered specs but it's still interesting to me to see what compromises were made cuz I don't tie my self esteem to the video game consoles I own 👌👉👍

I hope I can match with steam players then it would truly be the ultimate version of RL!!

I haven't owned a PS4 since 2014 so maybe it's changed but I basically signed into my cousin's account on my console, made my console his account's home and then I was able to download and play his library even on my own account.

We bought one copy of every game we own for the XB1 and play them at the same time.

Kickass. I have recently got into this game since it's great to play during 15 minute breaks at work. Hopefully that extra mode is something similar to Rally mode in terms of playing with other people's runs.
