The expansion pass reminded me to finally play Monster Hunter Rise so I can experience the online part of that and then ditch Switch Online because I never use it anyway.

Anyone know if MHR has a decent amount of people still playing?

mhgu, a port of a nintendo ds monster hunter that came out just barely after world came out on consoles, still has an active playerbase

you will basically -never- have trouble finding players in a monster hunter game years after the fact

Dungeon Encounters has been a wild ride so far, if you're at all into dungeon crawling and some old school wizardry I highly suggest giving it a go.

If the unthinkable happened and they had these N64 games all running at 60fps, or at least an absolutely stable 30fps, THAT would be nice.

That would almost certainly break the majority of games. Without a full rebuild, most of these games have game logic tied to framerate, or just start breaking in general once it starts getting too high. You can actually see it in practice in the Wii U DK64 which does run at 30 FPS and half the mini games are completely unplayable because they're too fast, or games like Ocarina have the physics break or collision stops working correctly when pushed to 30 or 60.

Does anyone else have the issue with joycons where if you are sitting around 8-10 feet from the dock the connection can get spotty especially if you lose line of sight? It’s very jarring when playing Metroid with the very responsive controls. I never have an issue at same distance with my ps5 or Xbox series s so I assume it’s something with the switch. Would a pro controller or 3rd party control mitigate the issue?
IIRC the joycons don't have the greatest Bluetooth module and even holding them the wrong way can make your hands block the signal to the console. Generally other controllers don't seem to have the same problem, I've used my SNES controller and my 8BitDo Pro 2 from about 10 feet away without much of a problem.

Having M rated games in the sub makes the sub M rated or at least vague

I can see that, but if anything I'd think the bigger price tag already puts children out of range, as in that's how they plan on recouping from lost sales when the rating goes up.

And is the app just rated as one thing?

Oh yeah that, totally already happened to me with my entire opening party, lol. There was a one-way teleporter on like floor 38 that went to 92 and then another one to 97 where they fell through a hole and I lost them all. I spent some time tonight getting the rest of the wanderers and then right after I was able to find them again. I forget exactly where the ability to see pitfalls is, I believe it was between floors 40 and 60.

What's the thread title referencing? Sounds pretty cool. Like Skid Row lyrics or something. Did Suda51 say it?

On the Switch pricing thing, the main downside is it only has the 12 month option. The cheaper subscription also having a 1 month, 3 month pricing, etc. I'd probably just want to play through Mario 64 and Starfox again, so a 3 month one would hit the spot.

Yes. Putting Perfect Dark on the service would make the entire N64 app an M rated app. Kids with parental controls on their Switches wouldn’t even be able to open the app to play Kirby or whatever

It probably happened when they added Banjo to Smash I imagine, Nintendo was almost certainly already planning to put N64 games on NSO and just didn't know when they'd get around to it, and Microsoft probably figured that the Rare Replay version of the game being better, they wouldn't really lose anything by letting Nintendo release the original version. And considering Rare Replay has been around a while, they figured anyone who hasn't gotten it by now would just never get it, so no point in worrying about losing Xbox sales to Switch just because of Banjo.

I played LttP a little while ago (having played but never finished on emulators) and got stuck as to where to go next in the first dungeon. I had similar trouble with the Link's Awakening remake where some puzzle solutions were abstract in a way things aren't in later titles. And NES Zelda, forget about it. I'm just no good at the pre-Ocarina ones.

I figured that but wondered if they had some right to the original version. But considering it was never on Wii and Wii U eShop, of course not.

The esrb rates games submitted by a developer or publisher on an individual basis. A hosting service for games is not in itself a game that needs a rating.

That would be like rating the entire PSN store mature because of resident evil
