bull3964 posted:Regardless, there's no magic bullet in the ARM space that would allow Nintendo to make a handheld console and run graphically complex games at 1080p at high frame rates. The hardware just doesn't exist. I mean people can be aware of that and still express disappointment upon learning that a game is gonna run at only 720p.

honestly w/r/t "performance", Nintendo kind of asked for it when they claimed that the Switch was "a home console that happens to have a handheld mode" instead of the reverse I never expected it to not be a souped-up handheld, but the longer they try to say it's in the same arena as beefier consoles the more of these comparisons they're inviting where the switch is going to come out looking worse

As a cat owner & lover, I know that look. "I am incredibly embarrassed to be in this picture, and I lick my own rear end in plain view in order to bathe"

Just buy a Rubix Cube from Walmart or something and play with it while MK8 downloads.

Apparently they did a cube with Mario Maker and it was really cheaply made and didn't work well.

404notfound posted:4K is the new 3D when it comes to TVs, i.e., you can't get a nicer TV that doesn't have it. Hopefully 4K will be around to stay though. I don't think I've ever tried 3D on my TV other than briefly firing up Arkham Asylum to see how it felt--and then promptly turning it back off. Better resolution isn't a fad, better screens have an actual use and unlike 3D it's an improvement (like better CPUs). Things like 3D are just tacked on poo poo that nobody really needs (or wants) for regular use but going to 4K is just a thing that'll happen over time just as TVs went from 240 to 480, then 720, 1080, and now 2160. Eventually we'll have even more absurdly high resolution devices until displays are replaced with neural uplinks or whatever Shadowrun-esque poo poo we start integrating in to people. Most non-tech savvy/nerd people still can't quickly tell the difference betwen 720p and 1080p unless they're sitting really drat close to their TVs.

This reply is for a post from like 3 days ago but the Gamer's Club Unlock thing Best Buy has is 20% all preorders/new games. When they say new they mean "not used". Amazon's is preorders and 2 weeks of release only. So you can wait to pick up a game when it lowers price and still get the discount. Or goes out of print with it's first print run bonus like BoI did. You can still get the discount at BB!

Loved traveling all weekend with my Switch. Was able to play some Zelda in bed and Binding of Isaac while I pooped. Oh and Turf Masters outside. I also did non-Switch things but it's awesome to have during downtime. I also caved and got the archer link amiibo.

The thing with higher resolution TVs is that at 8K and above unless you have some stupidly large screen sizes there really won't be a difference picture wise. In fact at the typical distance from a TV and typical size of TV purchased the vast majority of 4K displays are a waste and it's just idiot nerds thinking they're eyes are special and can totally tell the difference

hey how come botw's lock on system is less functional than the one in oot in terms of quickly switching enemies while also choosing to retain the lack of a dodge when outside of lock on? it kinda sucks to lose dodge when not locked on in botw imo

The Switch is super chill and I don't regret my purchase. I can bring it to the bar and play it outside in light spring rain while my friends finish smoking. Tonight I played Graceful Explosion Machine and beat a couple levels. Which was surprising...I'm terrible at that game. Then I broke it apart and put it back in my purse. The screen part fits in the front pocket where I sometimes put my phone or keys. It would be kinda cool if they made a hard plastic case just for a joycon, so you could let it rattle around in your bag or whatever. As a system it's very exciting.

If you put one on top of the other or side-by-side, it's like the size of a deck of cards. A little plastic case would be cool. I guess in the short term a soft case for glasses might be an option.
