One of those is used to power the rumble. If you don't care about that you can just use a single USB.

Oh really? Yeah, I might do that, then. Thanks!

I was there.
A pricier but nicer solution would be this wireless adapter: http://www.8bitdo.com/gbros/

If I used GCN controllers, it'd be a good choice for me.

Not a bad idea, but the GCN adapter takes two USB ports, so I think I'd have to buy two extenders.

Male to Female USB cables are pretty cheap and usually come in multi-packs Amazon 2 pack 2 6ft cables for $9

Out of interest in regard to the MP4 reboot: what do you all think is the chance that the studio went more and more into a "unchartered"-direction, like metroid but with story and super awesome set pieces, cutscenes etc. pp., and after the awesome success of Smash Nintendo (again) realized, that the best thing is to simply give the fans what they want, and thus they decided to reboot it?

I know, this is super far fetched, but I have been thinking about that for couple of days now. What could they have done to MP4 so that Nintendo pulls the plug? It must be something so fundamentaly wrong that you need a complete reboot, even by another studio.

Basically another "other M", but better.....

The impression I got was that they split it across multiple teams and it turned out to be a mess where some teams were doing okay and others weren't, and figured since Retro is presumably finishing up their latest project, they might as well just cancel the whole thing and start over with Retro.

We have a challenge to Nintendo. In Metroid Prime 4, create a storyline in which Samus gets breast cancer. Imagine the drama of a vulnerable Samus Aran still persisting on her otherworldly adventures despite her illness. It needs fleshing out, no pun intended, but we guarantee the gaming world would be shocked, stunned, and moved by the effort to make Samus's character more meaningful.

The APC sacrificial goat/wall is a tried-and-true AW strategy.

Gonna have to get this eventually. I think I still have my SP with AW2 kicking around. And though it was broken as all gently caress I loved AW: Dual Strike because of how brokenly you could just rush a map. Conversely, Days of Ruin wasn't quite my thing because they upped the difficulty/grimness. Like I could beat it, but I liked holding back the tide and then overcoming the enemy.

Honestly, there's something to be said about portraying war as cute and fun, but darnit if it wasn't adorable and fun!

Hmm, what have we here?
Does it actually matter which port you use for the LAN adapter? Is it true that the 3.0 in the back doesn’t even have the software to support anything faster than the ports on the side?

It seems to matter, though in exactly what way I can't tell. I have an old piece of poo poo LAN adapter that works fine in the side ports but breaks horribly if I use the 3.0 in the back.

How is the port of Ys VIII for Switch? I know it runs at 30 fps vs. 60 on PS4 but does it play well anyway and does it have the updated localization they patched in to the other version?

In the west X-2 is a code but the Asian version (which includes English) has them both on cart. FFX is really good, I haven't played much of X-2 yet but it's fun and has a great battle system

Although yeah as patronising as it might sound I do think there's plenty of people buying games just to keep up with the trends, and I think usage statistics that come out from the ps4 and Xbox bear this out

Like no-ones gonna be talking about the 36th iteration of CoD or Assassin's Creed: Belgium in another 10 years time because they're ultimately disposable, yearly updates on the same model

Don’t you dare put Coldplay (one of the best bands alive) and nazis In the same sentence. As for switch content, I’m not buying anymore games till fall, but man I wanna play Wargroove.

X2: Fantasy Women United has a job system like FF5 right?

That is steep but for two full games well-received games? Yeah ok. I guess.

Will be getting them for sure. As far as QoL is concerned is it better to wait for 7 and 9 so that X/X2 don't make those feel like old crap?

I thought it was 'ew anime', because for a series that's pretty absurd, that opening intro (the only thing I ever saw of the game) was pretty embarrassing.

yup. it's a little less customizable than ff5's job system but makes up for it by being able to switch jobs mid-battle (with accompanying transformation scenes because x-2 owns)

Yes, but you can also equip multiple jobs on each character in different configurations and switch jobs in the middle of battle.

I remember a lot of complaints about FF10 being about how Tidus "looked gay" as well. Christ society was so much more homophobic and more infused with fragile masculinity back then.
