Zelda pro controller (Japanese) for $64 on Amazon. Any reason not to bite? Drift on my pro controller has escalated from occasional false notes in Theatrhythm to constant sidestepping during battle in XBC3 and this is a bit cheaper than the normal pro controller.

It'ssss RRRRRODEO TIIIIME!! Selane posted:It's the right one but the engines should be tilted 45 degrees. The only thing the hoverbike design is good for is looking cool, it's hard to drive. Tilt the thumbstick forward and steer by angling slightly to the sides, hoverbike drives just fine.

My docked Switch seems to lose HDMI to the point where my TV and receiver think it disconnected. They don’t do this for anything else hanging off the receiver My switch is old enough that it’s hackable but I think I got it in 2019 around Mario Maker 2’s release. After replacing the cord should I just buy a new dock, like the one with built-in Ethernet? What are the odds it’s my switch.

If you've never replaced the battery, there's the possibility it's swelling and causing the system to not be seated correctly in the dock on the usb-c port. 2.) The cable is loose. Reseat each end. 3.) The cable is poo poo. Replace it. 4.) Move the connection toa different port.

I had something like that happen with my old switch. It would just blink every 20 seconds or so. I bought an aftermarket dock and that fixed it. Never figured out what the problem was.

For those with their Wii U still hooked up: The online servers for Splatoon 1 and Mario Kart 8 Non-Deluxe are being re-enabled on August 8 after months of downtime following a security concern, albeit with the warning that they'll go down again, probably permanently, if another issue pops up.

Metroid Dread Sales Top 3 Million Units - Sales https://www.vgchartz.com/article/457984/metroid-dread-sales-top-3-million-units/ quote:The CEO of Metroid Dread developer MercurySteam Enric Álvarez speaking with GameReactor revealed the game has sold over three million units worldwide.  Nintendo, make 2024 the Year of Samus. So far we have Prime 4 and a rumor of Prime 2 remastered...I hope someone is working on Metroid 6 too, can't wait to see where they take the series

I wonder if metroid would translate well to a board game. I don't mean like metroid themed monopoly for babies, more like a real board game for sophisticated gamers where you accumulste powers. Make it competitive where you are racing to a bounty

Now would be the best time to sell a Switch OLED, right? Before the new one comes out... Only issue I have is that I won't be able to play MGS on a handheld for a while... dammit.

After so much talent turnover and insane delays with games from Retro, I have to think letting MercurySteam just rock with the Metroid franchise in the 2D realm is going to be a high possibility. Maybe we'll still get a good Prime 4 but I highly doubt we ever get a 5th one

I think you have at least until January before Nintendo announces anything and the value crashes. I might sell my PS5 pretty soon though since the rumors of a slim are heating up and I barely use the thing. I’ll just put that money aside for the Super Switch and just give my current switch to my niece or something

Slim and/or Pro version coming and yeah, didn't play anything on mine either. Only game I kinda felt like I was missing out on was FFXVI, but I guess I'll play it on a new PS5 version or on PC.

"value crashing" in light of a new console announcement is a difference of like $50 Just hold on to your switch til you have the new one in your hand then sell it off if you want to keep using it, what's $50 in the grand scheme of things? At least wait til some sort of official announcement for that matter

Yeah no way I'm giving up my Switch until there's a fresh new console in my hands. Hell, I still played my 3DSXL for about two years after getting the Switch. Well, if it is BC and can migrate my account and all my purchases over, I'll sell asap.

Then I'll probably just pirate everything on a modded console. It really does blow to think about how much money I've invested in the eShop and it could just go away

We're going to be feeling the hits to development time and pipelines for at least the rest of the decade. (Also like, Sony actually is putting out games, they just are also porting them to PC so people say they're not exclusive.)

If theres no BC for some reason I'll just keep my OLED. Its portable so I can just keep it in a drawer with my 3DS and PSP and stuff and pull it out when needed. But I think it'll be BC anyway no reason to think otherwise yet.

Relatively speaking the library is extremely thin for a 3 year old console but yeah I think you're right that there's a lot going on in the background messing with timelines Still, sad to think that I haven't powered my PS5 on in months. Guess I can play that re4 remake at some point. For now PS5 as a platform is being kept alive by old PS4 games and that's disappointing now that we're more than a year or two out from launch

Raylax posted:Yeah I'm wondering about this too. My point of comparison is the Steam Deck, which can just about run games at PS4-ish spec but it's bulky and the price point was reportedly "painful" for Valve to get that low. Nintendo historically doesn't like selling consoles at loss as I'm assuming Valve is doing. If everything runs at a smooth 1080p and 60FPS and can maybe push 4k on things that already do 1080p60 like Mario Kart that'd be enough for most of their audience. Yeah 4k and 60FPS docked as a general thing would be great but it's Nintendo, they aren't going to push to release hardware on the level of the PS5, especially if it's a hybrid system like the Switch. Needs to have at least 512GB of storage built-in, though. Considering that you can get a 2TB Samsung m.2 SSD for $99 these days and their 500GB models are around $35, (the same price as their micro sd cards) it's not like adding one would break the bank on development costs while having vastly faster read/write speeds that would make load times in something like TotK almost non-existent.

KingSlime posted:Relatively speaking the library is extremely thin for a 3 year old console but yeah I think you're right that there's a lot going on in the background messing with timelines Even discounting COVID that isn't really the case. Both of the modern-gen consoles have an extremely packed lineup of games, just relatively few true exclusives as in "I must buy a (x) to play this game and can't play it on anything else." The thing there is that is not a result of games not coming out but games coming out for last-gen consoles too, which is also something you saw in other generations. It's lasting longer this gen but that's a combination of COVID troubles, economic troubles making people less prone to upgrade, and the fact the next gen is backwards compatible so unless you absolutely can't make something run on the last-gen consoles there's almost no benefit in not aiming for cross-gen, especially because the architecture is so similar that porting is easy. The previous gen still has an absolutely huge install base who have proven that they're willing to accept compromised quality. (poo poo, EA is backporting Jedi Survivor to PS4/XBO they just announced and that was a game that struggled on modern stuff.) If you're not turning on your PS5 it's because you're playing games on another system or PC most likely, not because those games don't exist. Backwards compatibility or huge install bases tend to cause this problem too because there is no pressure to upgrade. (See the 3DS having to take a mulligan on their original launch!)
