But much of the team did as you say work on the Primes even if under different leadership. So it's not like they're lacking in relevant experience either. Yeah, I'm not worried about MP4

Maple Leaf posted:I tend to play my Switch in bed for about an hour or so before going to sleep. Lately, my Switch has been making this low, quiet humming noise towards its left side, like something is caught in its fans. Hum is likely the fan in a cooldown cycle. Some games don't cause the system to get hot so it just doesn't happen. It will spin up to max when you power off to quickly cool it down so it can go to sleep. Projectors do the exact same thing. The drift is caused by the joysticks being short and the tech behind that. The contact pads slowly erode if you press the stick too hard especially if you are just trudging along by holing the stick up or whipping it back and forth a lot. The Pro Controller avoids most of the problems with having to baby the stick. I never used excessive force when playing any game on any console but a lot of people seem to destroy joycon sticks. You can clean up the debris of the eroded pad and get some more life out of it but eventually it will just destroy itself. The sticks are just bulk purchased and not made by Nintendo. You can buy pretty much identical replacement sticks pretty cheap and that's probably the best way to go about it instead of mucking about inside the casing of the stick itself.

You would probably be surprised at how many people are paying monthly for Nintendo Online, and they will probably make more money using the Classics App than selling those VC games individually.

I was hoping to avoid that, but I guess if that's my only recourse, then that's what I have to do.The hum is from playing BotW, which I understand is more intensive than most, so I guess that's some good news.

I'd have gladly paid like 30 bux a year if the Online app came with everything on the SNES Classic and more. NES Games have aged like cheap beer but SNES library still owns. GBA/N64 games would be great too but at the glacial pace we get NES stuff, won't hold my breath.

American McGay posted:How many of those people are subbing specifically for the paltry selection of NES games? And how many of those people wouldn't have spent at least $20 on classic games if they were available piecemeal? It reminds me of when Sony started offering freebies for PS+ last generation and they started with PS1 games, then eventually they dropped those and started offering more and more PS1 games individually as purchases on the PSN. I have something like 40 or 50 of them on my accounts, and they all cost between $5-10 a piece (Square-Enix liked to charge more for their prestige games) and if I add up all these numbers at their bare minimums it's the cost of 4 years worth of PS+ I spent solely on these classics.

Maple Leaf posted:Well the Joy-con issues didn't start up until I started playing Smash, so, mystery solved No you don't need an entirely new joycon, just the stick. You buy a slim stick from China for a few dollars and connect just unplug the old ribbon cable and plug in the new one. You'll need a 3 pointed screwdriver that Nintendo loves using and a pair of teasers can help with ribbon cables. (assuming the joycons use them, haven't done a swap myself but have read the stuff linked in thread since I'm sure it'll happen with the hundreds of hours of use it's a matter of time). Ribbon cables are pretty drat easy to use. Should be a 5 minute repair. Pro Controller is going to get around the issue since you will have a longer stick that doesn't need to use the lovely pads low-profile sticks use, which is the cause of the issue.

It's a convenience thing, you see. Did some shopping online and ordered a pair of stick replacements. I got a DIY kit from Amazon which ran me a little under $30 (Canadian), so, fingers crossed!

I've never been good at DIY and I'm very hesitant to try it myself, though the price is steep for joy-cons. I've taken to doing a lot more table-top with my pro. My left joycon is temporarily ok. It's the right one that feels thoroughly hosed, it's been ages since I've been able to use it solo as it is, so replacing them eventually isn't out of the question. Where does one get a 3 pointed screw driver? Does that format come in the usual screwdriver tool kits?

Any precision screwdriver kit, or just type in Nintendo screw driver on amazon, you'll find a ten dollar kit that'll probably be a small Phillips, a tri wing, and maybe the security bits Edit the first result on Amazon is for a 12 dollar kit with literally everything you'll need to do basic ninty repairs/mods

One issue mentioned earlier is that some of the original source code for old games has been lost. Some older games have licensing and rights issues that make rereleasing a nightmare. I think some of the old companies just are slow to adapt. Same thing happened with old TV shows and DVDs and streaming.

I think the reasoning behind not porting older games was twofold: 1, until this generation, all three console makers supported backwards compatibility, so the cost of porting recent games didn't make a whole lot of sense and 2. There was, until recently, more money to be made by making a sequel and getting most of the fans of the previous game to buy the new one. Now that backwards compatibility is mostly dead (it would be completely dead if Microsoft wasn't starved of titles) and people are warming to the concept of rebuying recent games (hands up, everyone that has owned both the Wii U and Switch versions of Mario Kart 8) people are porting more than ever. It also helps that the Switch, being roughly on par with the PS3, makes it an ideal target for previous gen ports for those Nintendo diehards who missed out on a lot of Gen VI AAA titles during the Wii/Wii U era, or are fine with paying $30-$40 to replay a title they played years ago. On that note, where the gently caress are my Arkham Asylum and City Switch ports, Rocksteady?

Sega is really good with legacy stuff being available/have the incredible work of M2 on their side and Capcom/SNK has been hitting it out of the park to an insane degree on every possible platform. I'd say those 3 are the league leaders of making everything in their catalog available. Squeenix are the morons of the pack with doing everything from loving with translations and graphics to losing the loving source code of original games. And then you have Nintendo, who don't get it because they have the power to put so much out there but dripfeeds it to an excruciating degree. Konami is sitting on a treasure trove of stuff but they are a wildcard. Hopefully there's more to come after the first Castlevania pack but hard to tell because they are managed by psychopaths and dopes.

Well, the Japanese version is at least, so I can only assume the Western release will at some point as well. It looks like Champions is a version or two behind the Japanese version, as that version has already gotten a few combo practice modes in addition to what was in the 1.0 release. It’s an odd duck of a staggered release. My rating carried over from the Japanese version, but nothing else.

Sega is basically an Atlus and Yakuza factory now while they outsource their IPs to everyone else (Streets of Rage 4, Sonic Mania, etc etc) and I'm fine with that. It's better than companies like Taito/Konami/Squeenix who own great IPs and do gently caress all with them. It's cool that Sega just lets people like Lizardcube and Christian Whitehead rent their properties, something more companies should do if they don't actually plan on making stuff in-house themselves.
