lets hang out posted:BM Zero takes everything good about the original game and actively makes it worse, it's really weird. Also, the bizarre map wrapping thing is part of the reason why a lot of 8-bit games didn't do on screen maps. Their geometry is non-Euclidean and involve non-obvious warps.

Haven't played enough to say. Though you do have a limit of social interactions between each mission which seems to tie into the boosts you get from your labor dispute.

Takoluka posted:I love that over three years, Nintendo has effectively had one model for their console, and it is driving people bonkers. "They're the New 3DS guys! They've got to do it! It's Nintendo! They're greedy and stupid! WHY AREN'T THEY DOING IT!?" Nintendo did rush out revisions of the GBA and DS but that was due to flaws of both systems (especially the DS in face of competition from the PSP) needing to be addressed to encourage sales. Nintendo tends to not muck around with systems for which sales are strong, maybe making silent cost-reduced revisions which is effectively what they've done with the Switch so far.

It's almost like if marketing has a profound effect on human behavior and decision-making I bought a Redbox switch just for the battery upgrade and would probably upgrade to whatever they come out with because I'm part of the problem. FCC filings make me think it could be legit

A "Switch Pro" makes like no sense at all, the games that are trying to be 4k aren't coming out for the Switch. And if the "Switch Pro" was so far ahead that they *did* start coming out for only that, what third party support there is for the older Switch would dry up and you would lose a lot of face with customers by killing off something as popular as the Switch after only 4-5 years. Especially because they've said they're likely to support the Switch longer than they have previous consoles.

The timeline of DS is wild. My memory makes it seem like the DSi came out in like 2010 at the death of the original DS. But it came out in 08 and had an XL companion a year later that I don't even remember.

Honestly they could remove the bezels, blow up the screen, and add a little more horsepower so it doesn't struggle with current games when docked. That seems like a no-brainer upgrade to me that wouldn't disrupt the market

A 4K Switch makes no sense. A Switch Pro makes a lot of sense. Devs not named Nintendo are having a hell of a time putting out Switch games that run at 700p 30fps. You can only live off indie treasures for so long.

I want a better battery than my current model and I also want an excuse to softmod homebrew games and get some emulation on my old Switch. At this point though I'll probably wait for the Nintendo Switch One SX.

I kind of get the appeal there but if they don't make every game at least playable undocked then there's going to be issues and so that makes me wonder what the max power we can really put on docked games is. I guess a lot of these Switch games are good at scaling, but we will see.

I, for one, am happy that Nintendo hasn’t been trying to occupy the same space as Microsoft and Sony for over a decade now, and would rather they not start to try now with a Switch Pro or what the gently caress ever Nobody is buying a Nintendo console for the latest and greatest first-person shooter with XXXTRA REALISTIC GRAPHICS, they’re buying a Nintendo console to have their buddies over to take shots and dunk on each other at Smash Bros

I don't think anyone is asking them to occupy the same space. But personally it would be nice to play Witcher 3 on a Switch without having it look like absolute garbage. They're always 1 or 2 steps behind graphically, but they're very soon about to be 4 steps behind.

But I don't know if a full step up is feasible without them getting into another gen as well. What would be neat is if we could get an add-on to the Switch itself for like $150 or something. Like the N64 expansion pack. But I feel like that would be its own cluster.

I'd say a Switch Pro that's directly analogous to the PS4 Pro/XB1X is not a bad idea. Games still support the base hardware, but run on the Pro and they do 1080p handheld, up to 1440p upscaled to 4k by Nvidia's Shield AI upscaling docked, maybe with HDR (which with Nintendo's art direction would be great). There's no need for them to be targeting the same audience or compete with publisher attention for cut down versions of stuff for the next gen consoles, they have carved out their segment and do just fine without it, but incremental improvements to the hardware make sense even from a component sourcing perspective.

Devs have been making games for the Xbox One X and the PS4 Pro, offering compatibility with the base model, not making games for the One S and the Slim and then offering *more* with the X and Pro.

Eh I really think that's overblown. You look at say Sony's first party stuff in particular all runs incredibly well still on the original model, and I don't see that Nintendo would be any different about that in particular. A lot of the third party stuff that did have issues were mostly on the One, which already had bad performance in the first place on a lot of games originally released for it. We're at the point where we've been getting games like Control that can be rough, but those games having issues running on the current gen are arguably more a function that they are really designed for the actual next gen rather than the intermediate consoles.

The resell value will sink if something that big comes out probably. I'm not against the existence of a Switch Pro I just worry about the implications for the other versions, especially the Lite which can't dock at all. I'd probably buy a Pro and give the Switch to my sticky handed stepkids.

ONE YEAR LATER posted:I have a launch day Switch so I could be tempted to get a new one, assuming if it has enough upgrades to make the cost worth it. Same. Though I still think that the limited battery life is a good thing for my playing time. It presents me with a good hard limit to respect. Though I've noticed that Dragon's Dogma eats that battery like nothing else has in ages. FF VII-IX would let me play for hours without issue. Honestly all I want is Joy-cons that aren't defective. I'd just buy those.
