That's what I'm getting out of this considering there's explicit instructions in the guide they link to in the e-mail about if you still wanna stream their games on YouTube. You can but the channel can't be a part of the program at the same time. They actually recommend starting a separate unaffiliated channel to stream with as one way around it.

Nintendo has heard your repeated cries for VC on Switch and now announces the planned phaseout of the wii shop.

Is Golf Story a remake of an old classic or is this some new thing?

It's new. And good. You should get it if you want to spend a few hours chilling at a golf course. I love how laid back it is.

Completely agree about the speech bubbles. The little movements and animations convey so much more emotion than you'd normally get out of a 2d rpg like this.

For anyone who was thinking about getting FIFA 18 for Switch and maybe wanted to know how it fares in content compared to the PC/PS4/Xbox One versions out on the market, US Gamer has an article detailing the content missing from the Switch version.

Tl;dr: FIFA 18 for Switch is basically FIFA 16.

iwata golf blessing. :unsmith:

""Playing Golf on the day he died
Spirit rose a metre and stepped aside
A perfect device took his place, and bravely cried
(I’m a Nintendo Switch, I’m a Nintendo Switch)

So many times he was blessed with a birdie
So many software sales putting through the gales
He blessed sacred ground, became a perfect crown
(I’m a Nintendo Switch, I’m a Nintendo Switch, I’m not a Vita)""

it will still run forever on dolphin. i got my NAND dumped and have all my poo poo i bought saved onto dolphin. will miss the mario download animation but its so hilariously fast on dolphin that he doesnt even get the first block before the download is finished.

that said, you have to wonder if it is the vc coming to the switch after all or the fact that the dolphin started to gently caress up all the regional settings on real wii's shop channels.

I think power lowering other stats is to prevent spamming power. From what I understand it is one of the most useful stats. The others give you more leeway for loving up shots but if you can nail shots then power is best, I think?

Was able to play for a couple hours tonight, beat all the side objectives in the first place that I could and took on the course. I'm sucked in.
The way leveling and stat progression works is actually rather interesting. You're given the option of just boosting power with the detriment of being able to make more finely tuned shots. If you hit power too much to the point that you can't handle proper shots anymore, you are free to lower the points in power in order to re-distribute to the other stats that help make your shots more accurate. However, you cannot lower the points in the other stats as a means of free redistribution. In other words, you're given the ability to make the game harder on yourself but you can ease it back once you realize you can't handle it anymore. This does lead to the possibility of pumping too much into the extra stats instead of power and completely ruining your whole game so it's not easy mode but it's also not above giving you a way of fixing an early mistake. It's neat!

I feel like chill games like Golf Story aren't meant to be binged. In the same way Mario and Rabbids isn't very good if you binge it or Stardew Valley. Too much chill eventually just leads to boredom. Intersperse your play!

I don't know but if he just checks the last page of the thread then maybe he won't see it if people post enough.

I just got golf story last night and it is really nice. Went through the first course so far. Chipping in shots is kind of ridiculously easy thanks to precision mode. I'm better at coping in from rough than putting.

This is my experience, too. I've come across a putter that will probably help my terrible short game but it's hands down the most expensive item in the game so far so I haven't gotten a chance to try it out yet.
