If the Switch has a nicer screen than your phone I think you need to buy a new phone.

Yeah but my phone isn't my TV or my projector nor do I have the useless device to dock my S9+ into either.

People like unifying things and not having a bunch of devices for a single purpose, and people get surprised about it for some reason. "Well your phone and laptop and computer and smart TV can get Netflix, hurrrrr.." "Why the hell would you want to play old games on this new console? Just dredge up your SNES from it's dust filled crypt and keep it around for that one game you really enjoy playing once every couple months!"

Christ almighty, people like options.

We may have finally found unobtainium but I will never find eywa.

Maybe Netflix should make their own video game console, then.

It’s probably the first good wrestling game. The guy that would later create Fire Pro Wrestling worked on it so that’s why.

A shitty post? This calls for a dance of deduction.

s.i.r.e. posted:

I think Nostalgia will edge out those older consoles for some, for me, much (pretty much all) of my childhood was spent on the N64 and even if the Switch got the whole back catalog of N64 releases I have memories playing the N64 with friends that just won't happen on the Switch.

But yeah, basically.

I think the "Switch" is just going to be a Platform for Nintendo at this point and we'll get newer hardware revisions and keep all of the backcompatibilty so the library will always grow, but I don't see why they'd just start from a clean-slate. They've perfected the home console and made it portable to boot. I just wish they'd kill off the 3DS already and port all of it's titles over to the Switch and be the GOAT.

I find this post funny since I'm pretty sure in the Switch reveal thread you were trying to convince me not to get a Switch because it looked terrible and that I should just wait for an emulator instead or something.

TaurusOxford posted:

I don't get why the 3DS is even still going to be honest. It's not like Nintendo has ever hesitated to throw prior hardware under the rug in the past when they wanted to push the new hotness.

Nintendo never really did this. Actually they always did the opposite (e.g. NES, SNES, GBC, GBA, DS, and 3DS). The thing about the Gamecube, Wii, and Nintendo 64 wasn't that they were killed, it was that they were already dead by the time the new console showed up.

I hated the Switch on reveal and it honestly looked like poo poo, I still think some of the gimmicks are terrible and stupid and Nintendo has no clue how to do proper online, and I still haven't touched mine in months. Also Switch emulation is making a lot of progress which owns so playing Switch games on PC without issue will probably be a thing within a year or two.

That said though, Nintendo's making progress and a lot of content is dropping on the platform that I thought I'd never see, I didn't think anyone was going to support it after the disaster that was the Wii U. With all of the things that are hitting the Switch and the quality of most of it being good it's crazy how different the landscape is for Nintendo now. It's fantastic.

As far as Netflix goes, I'm going on a long airplane trip and if the Switch had Netflix that would be great because otherwise I'll have to pack my old model Amazon Fire tablet for the exclusive purpose of watching movies on the plane and it seems absurd to take two so similar devices with me.

Excuse my ignorance, but I wasn't aware we could stream on flights now. That said I don't think I'd want to watch something good on an airplane, you can't really hear well and a small screen isn't fun for good movies. Planes are where I exclusively watch superhero movies and other blockbusters because they're easy to follow and it doesn't matter if you're not 100% there, thankfully most airlines are chock full of those types of movies.

I just found it pretty funny that it’s not also coming to Switch considering Richter and all this love from both games is in Smash Ultimate. I hope it’s timed exclusivity since I always wanted to play the good version of Rondo.

That was my thought too. You'd think they'd jump on the chance for easy money and get it on the console that has their characters prominently in the big christmas-release title. Hell, they probably could've gotten it running on the n3DS/2DS.

Amazing. I don't get a great connection in my kitchen and I like to listen to stand up while cooking, I've managed it just fine with a bluetooth speaker but I often forget to charge that, so this will help avoid the whole issue.

Please remind me because it's been a while since I paid attention to this; what's the deal with chargers right now? As I recall,

1st party AC adapter; airtight
Wall adapters generally; good brands will be fine
External charging packs generally; fine for handheld mode, won't work for docks
3rd party docks; avoid like loving plague

Do I have this right?

I’m gonna chalk it up to Nintendo not having private party chat / discord but I get way more people just chilling and chatting about pretty much everything in Mario Kart lobbies then I can remember in recent PC games or other consoles which is loving strange because I really expected the app, given the reaction, to kill random online chat. Also hearing some guy’s wife going “That person in first just kicked your rear end by a mile” in the background followed by a sigh and “Yeah, yeah he did honey” is :laffo:
