I tried Xenoblades on the 3DS and I just like the battle system. I didn't get far though.OhFunny posted:I got finally signed up for Nintendo Online to try some of the SNES games, but am just playing Tetris 99 nonstop now. Daily missions are all I need to come back regularly. I came in third, which is my new record, because I messed it up, so I think a win is in the stars. Rupert Buttermilk posted:The other day, I was kind of paralyzed by options, when it came to either playing SNES games, or Genesis/Megadrive games (via the Classics Collection). I love both systems, and I spent way too long trying to decide. Remember back in the day when you could only rent what was available at whatever store you happened to be in? I'm down for Nes and Snes. I won't buy the others.

Has anyone had any issues with their Joycons wearing out? I was playing Smash today with the Joycon horizontally, but I was having trouble dashing to the right, and my character would end up in a walk

They’re known to drift after a while due to hardware issues under the stick. Nintendo will fix it for free so give them a call.

If I do send them in to get them repaired, is it an actual permanent solution, or will it eventually happen again down the road? I'm thinking about getting a Pro controller so I won't have to worry about my Joycons eventually drifting

The build quality of the joycon controllers is really bad. The failure rate on these controllers is Xbox 360 ring of death levels of high.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:And you don't need to I appreciate it but I probably wouldn't go to those lengths. I only have fond memories of SNES games and NES if only cause it's Nintendo. You may get me to rush a purchase of Final Fantasy 7 through 10, or break out my SNES Classic, but otherwise I'd only play if the game is accessible via Nintendo-flix or Virtual Console on the 3DS. I'd like to follow along though either way. I do keep up with the Gameboy thread, even if I don't comment or play the games.

It must have been wild to be alive and go from NES to SNES. Like... games actually finally being good. I was in hospital when I was really young and they had a SNES. Donkey Kong Country was the best looking game I'd ever seen! Playing SNESflix with an 8bitDo SN30 Pro is so good

Is anyone else interested in Indivisible, I guess it comes out in 2 days? I am pretty curious about it since I liked Valkyrie Profile back in the day and it has a soundtrack by Hiroki Kikuta (Secret of Mana etc.) But I don't know much about Skullgirls or if the developer has a good track record. And of course wasn't planning on buying anything else this month until Link's Awakening and DQ 11 come out.

There's a lot of potential positivity around it and it looks amazing but this is their first RPG and we can't really say how well that'll pan out.

Like Super Mario World was cool and all, but Super Mario Bros. 3 was still the better game to me in them days. LttP was better than Zelda 1, but that leap in gameplay and QoL was huge and it wasn't like I threw away Zelda 1. Kirby's Adventure came out well into the SNES era and was great. Now Atari 2600 to NES, that's a real jump. EDIT: And the Sega Genesis was out in '89, and when the SNES was out two years later in the US, it was really bad form to have games like Gradius III and Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts run at a choppy slog compared to the many shmups and arcade platformers the Genesis had.

People also tend to act like the 20 or so best games of the 16 bit era were representative, when in reality there was a ton of middling poo poo that wasn't much of an improvement from 8 bit games. Like, even in the 20 SNES games they just released, about half are timeless classics and the other half are totally forgettable.

Back in the rental days I felt like the SNES games I picked were largely more of a crapshoot in terms of quality than even the NES games were. NES games tended to at least be entertainingly bad, or at least often had cool music, but a bad SNES game was often just unbearable. It could be I was just the right age when the SNES came around that I could appreciate that games could be bad, since the NES could do no wrong in my 5 year old eyes. Speaking of SNES games though, they had better release Legend of the Mystical Ninja soon. I love that game and I want to co-op it with some goons.

It's cool that Demon's Crest is on there, considering that I've never played it and that at one point, it sold negative copies. I hope they release the Super Bomerman games for the SNES Online. I'd love to play online multiplayer.

I wonder if Nintendo will ever realize that nobody likes Ice Climber, Kid Icarus, and Wrecking Crew. Edit - I think games like those and freaking Solomon's Key is what gives people such a negative view of the NES because they for some reason keep bringing them back.

The one that totally blew me away was going from SNES to N64. Not just the 3D graphics but the analogue joystick control was insane at the time. You control his direction AND speed?!

The 8bitdo N30 pro is perfect for snesflix. My one gripe so far is that I can't use it while charging. Other than that it's taken me right back to being 10 years old again.

Yeah most of the black box games haven't held up at all (or weren't very good to begin with), but they're mostly first party so Nintendo always trots them out. I think that's a big part of why people don't look upon NES games too kindly now--half of any collection of games from that era that Nintendo puts out themselves is taken up by poo poo like Baseball or Urban Champion and they don't bother or are unable to get the rights to stuff from Konami or Capcom.

I was wondering the same thing when mine were going through that stage after I’d somehow managed to avoid drifting etc, but it came on fast once some certain amount of wear happened. iffy controls for awhile until enough of the conductive crud or whatever on the stick’s pcb is gumming around and then now my controller gets the honest drift (mainly the up direction eg moving characters forward in third games)

Drift just means the centre of the analogue stick is moving off from where the system thinks it is. That can result in any number of control issues, depending on the game. Character moving when they shouldn't, not moving when they should, going in a slightly wrong direction, too slow, etc. Some games have a big enough dead zone in the centre that it doesn't even make a noticeable difference

Plug it in after it's been synced. Sync it wirelessly, plug it in, it should play just fine while charging. If it crashes the game or stops responding, update your controller firmware and try again.

The American style purple and lavender buttons are like the real American SNES controller and X and Y are concave. The other one has the all four rounded Japan/European style buttons. I picked up the American style one for that reason.
