Gumdrop Larry posted:It looks nice but I am also in the wait and see boat. Most of the more negative reviews point towards it being pretty cool but with significant performance issues, so I'll wait for more info to come out to decide if the gameplay looks like it overrides that. That's how I felt too, but was going to buy something around this time anyway and am looking for a relaxing farm-ish game that isn't stardew valley (not because it's bad but because it's the only one really around that's not terrible)

If it uses a USB dongle, "maybe": Nintendo Switch now works with these 20+ wireless USB headsets quote:When the Nintendo Switch arrived a year ago, you couldn't connect a wireless headset at all. Your only private listening option was a pair of wired headphones, plugged directly into the 3.5mm headphone jack on top of the handheld console.

Ziddar posted:Not really? Let's Go is pretty much a remake of Pokemon Yellow with some neat new features and heavy Pokemon Go integration. It's also very limited in scope compared to even Gold/Silver: no actual battles with wild pokemon, no held items, simplified stats, original 151 pokemon only, etc. I've been playing these games for 20 years and I think Let's Go looks pretty neat. Might even pick it up to play with my 6 year-old niece. But Nintendo clarifying that it isn't the "mainline RPG" that was announced at E3 last year is just a no-brainer without invoking people afraid of change. I'm glad they are making the stats more accessible in this series. I wish I could move all of my Pokemon through the bank onto the Let's Go games but I guess they are planning on keeping Go Pokemon and Normal Pokemon separate. (which makes sense due to the stat differences.)

It's a valid point. Bluetooth is so completely hosed that I'm surprised it ever works. My bluetooth speaker used to control the volume on my phone. Now all of a sudden it and the phone have their own separate volumes. For no reason.

The obvious solution is for Nintendo to sell proprietary wireless headphones they have full QC on. People would complain but they'd have an option, and more money for Nintendo.

Bluetooth audio is still not quite there yet (in the sense that there are quite a few totally good devices but also millions of lovely ones everywhere) so I understand why both the Switch and the PlayStation 4 don’t support it. As others have said, would be a whole new world of tech-support for them that they don’t deserve. I assume the next round of game devices will have it though.

I really regret buying Nine Parchments because I can never NOT play it with my son. "No son, Daddy wants to play this game you know is coop without you." But given that he's young the complete inability to turn off friendly fire in any mode makes it unplayable for us. Frustrating reading threads about it full of obviously childless git gud types circle-jerking the developer to not give any non-FF option, especially on the Switch. For gently caress's sake, turn off the cheevos and unlocks if they're so precious, but give us an option.

The only Bluetooth devices I would use for games are ones with APTX-LL and there’s like...three of them. But it hardly matters most of the time; the fact that I’m playing a game means I’ll be sitting about the same place while I play, so wired is fine. Wireless is for TV shows when I’m cooking or exercising or something.

No one gets pissy at iPhone for their lovely Bluetooth not working.
