Nah. If it was called "Wii Maestro" and the characters all had names and style, maybe, but nah wii music was a lifeless demo game.

Waverace is an IP. "music" isn't.

Sorry, guy.
Man Disgaea may have some fun gameplay but I cannot get past all that chatter.

This is why anime games never sit with me...

I'm like... how fast can I mash X to skip this?


The gameplay seems cool though...

Wii was an IP and it was doing fine until they made that new controller for it

Besides the other default advice of "reboot your router" this is why I got a LAN adapter years ago for the Wii as it was the same way. It was LoS to the router but for some reason just was slow as dirt. This doesn't quite work as well for a system you wanna pop out of the TV once in a while though. Try it on another network and if it's just as busted there might be time to call Nintendo, or if that works might wonder if the security settings are doing something funky in relation to the Switch.

Nintendo seems to have a history of meh wifi.

I had no issues with the Wii U or even the 3ds and wifi. And I can't hook it up to the router otherwise I would. Called Nintendo about this a while back and they swore it wasn't the switches fault but it's the only device that has this problem so I dunno.

A 3DS game made by the studio that worked on the 3DS Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask remakes, and is headed by the guy who created the Mana series (Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy Legend, etc.)

It looks hecka like a Mana game, 'cept in a desert.

3DS had pretty meh wifi but it was a million times better than the Vita. Fortunately the Switch wifi seems pretty solid in my experience so far.

Did you actually turn it off or did you just hit the button? You have to hold the power button until the menu pops up that lets you reboot or shut down.

There isn't one. Kind of dumb but it only takes a second to turn it on and check.

Hitting the Home button to check the battery in the middle of Zelda is light years faster than using anything in the PS4's UI.

My brother says it's "common" for the joycon controllers not to have secure connections so they fall off/separate easy; is there truth to this? He's going between that and a PS4, I haven't heard of the issue.

Not in my experience and no one in this thread has described it either.

It can happen if you drop it and the joycons get forced out, it can damage the little plastic nub that keeps it in place. It happened to the giant bomb guy

But I mean anything can break if you drop it so just don't do that!!!!

Give it time. Once they add Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Vudu, YouTube, etc. support the whole thing will go to poo poo like all UI's.

If a UI gets slower as options are added then it's been poorly engineered. There's no reason it has to be that way. I use plenty of UIs every day that are snappy no matter how many options they have, including my macbook and my android phone's launcher. Even if your UI options involve large images or audio, you can lazy-load them behind a placeholder and keep the rest of the UI snappy and responsive.

Giant Bomb dudes dropped their pre-release switch and it snapped the connections off. They could then punch it out of the grip and whatnot which led to some gifs floating around.

They got it replaced and haven't had a issue since so take it for what you will

If I have the Switch left on in the dock, and the joycons turned on in the grip, will the joycons eventually fall asleep on their own or will they stay on until the battery drains?

I can't imagine this game being fun for any periods of time. I'm pretty sure this game has been in multiple mario party games and paying full price for a slow as poo poo version is bleh.

I mean hell Kirby 64 has a game mode similar to it that looks a lot more fun.
