Been playing Mario Sunshine. I have a love/hate relationship with it. I think it’s mostly love.

My friend got a PS5 recently and mailed me his PS4 (and God of War). I got that this weekend and have been puttering around with that. It’s a pretty fun game. I haven’t made it very far and I’m surprised at how challenging I’m finding regular enemies. My first kid is due at the end of August so between painting two rooms in prep for him to arrive and doing everything else, I’m trying to finish GoW. If that goes very quickly I’d like to pick up Bloodborne, but I have my suspicions all the prep work and nesting efforts will preclude setting aside untold hours to play a From Soft game.

Also yesterday my BIL and his family visited yesterday. My almost six year old nephew fell in love with Mario during the pandemic and really wants a Switch for his bday in August (spoilers his parents are getting him one and I’m helping select the games). Anyway he was going on and on about how much he wants to play New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe so I fired up my Wii U and showed popped in the disc.

He lost his mind. My life long heavy investment into Nintendo is finally paying off. I am the undisputed cool uncle.

Then we cooped through most of the first world and had a blast. Everyone eventually gathered around the couch and was hollering and gasping and rooting us on. It was a blast. Next time they visit I’ll be prepared to setup a four person session. It’ll be great.

Now I need to really put some thought into what to get him for his bday.

Good stuff. I am no one's uncle, probably for the best, and have yet to have my own kid though we'll see. I am just the friend who keeps trying to get people to play video games with him and not many agree to do so.

If I ever get a chance for a cheap copy of NMBUD I might get it, I do love 2D Mario.

If I put my switch down while running a game it gets warm as hell, overclocking it would probably make it burst into flames if I did the same thing.

I've honestly been thinking that's the plan. Release new hardware that is more efficient with a higher base clock and just let older hardware eat the battery life loss.

I heard the whole Zelda collection is part of the Skyward Sword release. You just have to use the bird Amiibo every time you want to play one.

Actually if it's a Port/Remaster-whatever of Fire Emblem Path of Radiance + Radiant Dawn, then sign me the gently caress up for that improbable desire.

I would rather a new OG 2D Zelda or hell Phantom Hourglass/Spirit Tracks, that while not great I'm feeling may have been better than the Oracle games? I don't know. I started going through them a couple of months back and was very underwhelmed.

I still would like WWHD though. That would be nice, I could do without Twilight Princess, though I would absolutely rebuy it because I'm a tool.

News on Silksong, Outer Wilds, Spelunky, or Disco EElysiumwould be much appreciated.

Any Pikmin information either 4 or re-release of 1 and/or 2 would be cool too. But that's another longshot. And some good releases for the SNES App, or gently caress a N64 or Gameboy app. Imagine Mario 35 Deluxe proving the original was a proof of concept and now the new one will feature SMB 1, 3, and World tracks. Something for the Online to feel more worthwhile past the original offerings we got.

And as poo poo as I am at it, a new FZero. Those games are just so cool. Or another Non-Mario sports game, like Wave Race or 1080 Snowboarding.

Realistically I expect some news on BotW with a holiday release if anything, and it's likely that'll be the headliner. I doubt we'll get info on Splatoon 3 and I fear we may get Pokémon news. I don't feel like realistically expecting anything else so as not to be let down.

Yeah I was mostly joking but they could go there if they really wanted to, Nintendo already added a boost mode last year which lets games temporarily overclock the CPU to speed up things like load screens

The Tegra X1 is perfectly capable of running at higher clocks than the Switch normally uses, it's just a question of whether they want to take the thermal and battery life hit

agreed. also they could release a water cooling add on to allow for official overclocking to 2ghz. i think this would helpo games significantly and be worth the hasle of making the small handheld extremely large instead

You guys do know you can overclock a Switch after modding it very easily and it doesn't put out that much more heat right? Like it works fine and most games see a noticeable improvement unless they are bottle necked by the RAM bandwidth.

If your switch is running hot I really suggest taking the back plate off and cleaning the vents. They're real tiny and get blocked easily by a little dust and it's real easy to do, like 5 screws I think to remove it?

Could they put a stent in the RAM pipeline to allow more ram to flow through?

I have been assured that Golden Sun is a better JRPG that Dragon Quest could ever hope to be, it's got more unique gameplay than any DQ with puzzles and classes and unique skills.

It became a Big Deal in my social group when I called that series "just okay"

Ok, I'll jump on that wagon with the quantifier of "Golden sun 1/2 is better than the NES/SNES Dragon Quests"

Overwatch Porn posted:

every time i come to the switch thread i see you posting an insanely bad take

Do you really want to play Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon when there's Fire Emblem Three Houses? maybe outside of novelty or completeness in terms of "well i beat them all" but when a game is that old, it's pretty archaic. So, no, it's not a bad take. it would be cooler if Nintendo Online had games like Ubisoft+ or EA Access or PS Play or Gamepass, but for Nintendo games.
