Gameshark making a comeback is only awesome if they are able to go back to their days of providing ways to cheat in single player games. But the chances of that happening in your modern day extremely locked down current gen consoles, is 0%.

Yeah pretty much, unless you're a massive game publisher or big time indie dev, you are not working with Switch 2 dev kits right now or have any sort of contact with someone at Nintendo who would tell you about Switch 2. I do still think we are probably getting a new Nintendo console, like 90% confident in it.

Lol what the gently caress is this statement from them:

quote:

"Harnessing the power of AI, supercomputers and our exceptional code-writing team, we are aiming to eclipse the original GameShark's triumphs tenfold and redefine the gaming landscape on a global scale," said Ai Shark Founder Todd Hays wrote in a press release. "Altec Lansing is our first inaugural peripheral licensing partner, and we will assist them in capturing a significant share of the $2.5B video gaming headset marketplace. This marks the start of a series of AI Gaming technology partnerships that will enhance the gaming ecosystem for players worldwide."

in game news, I have discovered Super Mario 3D World (+ BF) and holy poo poo it's such a delight. And 11 years old?!?! That's nuts.

Bad news is kids have discovered that and Animal Crossing so I no longer get to play on the Switch.

I think its less lazy devs (the game itself is awesome and clearly a lot of heart went into it) and more they completely overestimated the Switch's capabilities.
It's a fairly unoptimized UE4 port. There's nothing inherent about the design of the game that would preclude it from running well on the Switch, but consider that it's a game that runs "well enough" on UE4, which itself is an engine that only runs "well enough" on the Switch and that explains the baggage a bit.

I really liked DK 94 (who didn't??) but I don't have much interest in the lemmings stuff.

I feel like part of the problem is that the Switch released most of the way through RotN's extremely cursed dev cycle, so they had to rush to slap together a Switch port in time for release. I also heard that maybe the Switch port uses code from the cancelled ports, like Vita and Wii U?

I am a spectacularly bad poster and everyone in the Schadenfreude thread hates my guts.
I put 100 hours into TotK before summer while only completing one temple. I was away for three months and my switch has an annoying issue where the left joycon occasionally disconnects in portable mode so I was happy to wait to come back to playing it on my big screen at home. I also discovered that my switch is hackable and having seen 4k 60fps TotK I want to experience the rest of the game that way, but haven't yet got around to hacking my switch properly to pull the save off it, but it's nice to have that to look forward to and now we're in the doldrums of winter I'll do it soon.

Anyway I bought Dusk and Hades in the winter sale and have been loving the poo poo out of Dusk, as I knew I would. Still have Hades to try but I'm sure I'll love that too. I also borrowed Wonder from my nephew who 100% completed it, which was convenient because I was on the fence about buying it for myself. Switch owns.

Part of a game Genie code is a memory address and part of a game Genie code is a value. So essentially it can set a variable which can have a lot of effects. For instance usually gravity in games is calculated from a lookup table that tells them game by which amount to decrease or increase y velocity. Change that memory address to a lower number, and now you have low gravity!

Or something simple like change the live counter to 9, you always have 9 lives.

I played the Prince of Persia demo. Game is good!

Gameplay is fun. Combat is satisfying. I forgot which review said it has a touch of Sekiro, but they were right. It's super fun to parry, but you pretty much have to learn the attach patterns of each enemy type. It's an active process rather than just hammering the attack button. If you get a parry on a big attack, you get a quick cut scene where your guy does a cool move and kills the enemy. Like when Samus does one of her execution moves.

The platforming is pretty fun, too. You start out with wall jumps and an air dash. I did a few very minor sequence breaks just buy jumping around and exploring the abilities.

A short while into the game you are given the map and an ability to take screenshots and tie them to a map location. So when you find a spot you need to double jump, you can take a screenshot then later when you find the magic shoes or whatever, you see the screenshot on the map and know where to go.

You can equip amulets at save points that give you various perks, like adding a finisher to your combo or regain health when completing a parry.

I don't know how to count frames, but it looks good to me. Story seems fine.

I made it to a boss and then the demo ended :(

Try out the demo, people!
