Obviously they're working on a successor now. Surely we all understand that r&d can take a very very long time and the hardware people are never not working on the next thing, or often even on multiple things at once. Look at that ugly bastard the virtual boy, I sure do every time I go visit my parents because my brother refuses to throw it away in the trash where it belonged even during launch month Whether they have anything at this time they want to announce to the public or not is a different story

The Switch is great for classic JRPGs, though for modern options you hatty posted:There are plenty of modern JRPGS on the switch outside of Xenoblade like SMTV, DQXI, and TWEWY Neo. One could say there are too many in fact It's an indie game champion with hits like Stardew Valley, Return of the Obra Dinn, Undertale, and everything in between (not everything). It's got amazing exclusives like Splatoon, Pikmin, Metroid, Zelda, Mario, and Kirby. And if you want to shell out for a yearly subscription you'll get access to all the best Nintendo NES games (cool I guess), SNES games (YES), and N64 games (Pretty cool and still growing). But really, what are your favorite genres? 100YrsofAttitude fucked around with this message at 06:24 on Aug 11, 2022 |

My opinion on Switch Pro is that it's not real but I want it because my Switch still slightly overheats ever since it fell and the fan moved out of place (I think) but I don't wanna send it for repairs in case they switch my moddable one with a newer one.

Yeah, the switch seems to excel in certain areas. Do you like shoot em ups? They all seem to be on this thing. The newest kirby is great. Uh, Korg seems to make soft synths exclusively for Nintendo hardware, so if you maybe want to produce music, there's the Korg gadget. I also hear good things about animal crossing.

So I went with Zelda x2 and Ring Fit. I'll get Kirby and probably a pokemans game next. But IDK, not a huge fan of turn based combat so might skip the pokemans. Pikimin also on the cards. I'll see how it goes. Thanks for suggestions! I'm gonna check reviews for the ones mentioned (and any others that get mentioned). Oh and for games, I feel RPGs where I can just stop mid game and go do other poo poo are what suit me the most these days. Really don't like roguelikes.

It’s been enough years that instead of a Switch Pro Nintendo could just announce Switch 2 soon If they’re smart they’ll make it just a beefed up Switch and do backwards compatibility

Been replaying Divinity: Original Sin 2 on the Switch, and it works well! Only technical nitpick are the loading times, but even then they're usually around 30-60 seconds and don't pop up too often. Also it's only $25 for the next several days and is a solid RPG in its own right.

omori is also a dope RPG that's equal parts funny, weird, fantastical, and depressing and horrifying. i just finished it a week ago or so and it's been rolling around in my mind a lot. great port. not for the faint of heart or the easily rattled.

Gris is a really beautiful platformer that's a quick few hours of flow state relaxation. Not a hard game but a good game. Frequently on sale. Grindstone is from Apple Arcade and is a great and cute little puzzle game.

Ok, so while I likely could have just cleaned the drat system more, I'm amazed at just how silent my new OLED is when playing hours of Doom 2016 last night. I can barely hear it. I think I'm just going to fully open up my old one, really REALLY clean it all out, and then sell it.

EvilElmo posted:So I went with Zelda x2 and Ring Fit. You got Skyward Sword? It's fun, and then again not great great. If you like Zelda you can get the NES/SNES with a simple online subscription as well as the N64 ones with a the expanded one. Phoneotopia, which I haven't played, but Mega64 talks about with some regularity, seems to be a Zelda II clone. Hyper Light Drifter is a fantastic stylish Zelda-like as well. When you say "do other poo poo" do you mean in-game or just drop it altogether before coming back? If it's the former FFX in particular, but all of them have a lot of little sidequests (though its linearity means it'll take you a bit before you can get to them) as well as Xenoblades. If it's the latter DQXI is a chill bedtime story with a plot synopsis if you ever have to stop.

Wondering if I could get a bit of help here, chaps. I sent my Pro controller in because the left stick was drifting, as is the custom. I just got an email back: "Fault Details: Left Stick Problem Diagnosis: Faulty Left Stick - Out Of Warranty Spare Parts: Product is replaced £42.73 Total: £51.28" Because the stick is drifting, they want me to buy a whole new one! And it's £2 cheaper on Amazon! Please tell me I can argue this because what the hell, I was expecting them to fix it for free!

The weird thing is it used to make some weird noises when starting a game after the fall, but nowadays it never makes that noise. Maybe because I use it less and from staying vertical on the dock?Steve Yun posted:I must be playing poo poo games cause I’ve never heard mine Maybe it's a newer one?

i think the revision's thermal and battery improvements were straight carried over to OLED since they made it good. If i am wrong send me a PM called "whooping your rear end" and put in it the action where you whoop my rear end

And especially given how much covid has messed everything up for multiple years at this point. They have incentive to wait until some promising hardware is available that they can work with.

This owns, it's such a fun snapshot of probably the first time the mainstream encountered a new gaming hardware generation. I never even really thought about that but I bet there were millions of parents out there going "what?? you have to buy a different Nintendo to play the new Nintendo game? Why won't it work on the Nintendo we already have?"

This Frontline report from 1991 is great, too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwd56K7rp7A It's really funny because yeah, Nintendo was doing some real shady poo poo, but the guy running American Video Entertainment complaining about it? If you look at the games he's trying to sell, they're some unlicensed games for NES with like Atari 2600-style gameplay that he's trying to sell in a world where Super Mario World already exists and Link to the Past is about to come out. No wonder nobody wants to carry them. Other funny bits: - The guy going "imagine if Sony made their movies compatible only with Sony tape players" and basically predicting Blu-Ray - The clips of Nintendo Tip Line workers at the end talking about fighting Astos and spearing dudes at their customer service jobs

I don't know about arguing it with Nintendo, but a £5 electrical cleaning fluid, and a £10 joycon replacement kit have been extremely effective for me to fix drift problems. If they won't replace, and you can get them to sent it back, those are good options to avoid doing a full replacement.

I did replace my joycon sticks last year and they started drifting after a goddamn month. I found a video on YouTube so I'll just follow that, give it a clean, and hope that fixes it.
