Tenacious J posted:So I just got one and am disappointed by the tiny little controllers. I find it difficult and unpleasant to use the little buttons and tiny sticks. I only had an hour with it though - tell me it gets better and we get used to it? You've got options. Did you try attaching the shoulder grips to give them a little more heft? Can you find a Pro? At this point I've settled on Pro for playing while docked, and loose joycons while playing in tabletop.

Tender Bender posted:It is really dumb, but if it's just a product of the console being rushed, and they're gonna have Netflix eventually, I'm fine with it. I'd rather have a Switch without Netflix for 6 months than no Switch at all for 6 months. Look at this sucker.

Policenaut posted:Splatoon is such a big deal in Japan that they're airing commercials advertising that the Splatoon 2 TESTFIRE is coming. It's a big enough deal that Nintendo can spend ad money to tell people in Japan to buy a Switch because soon there'll be a DEMO for Splatoon 2. Look, stop hyping up this niche product that would not have been successful on any other pla

Pants Donkey posted:They should definitely be porting over as many Wii U titles as possible: it's an easy way to inflate the library with quality games that didn't sell as well as they could have due to the Wii U's poor sales. But it does seem like a poor idea to tell your more dedicated customers that they have to pay full price for a game they got three years ago. I dunno, the Switch seems to be doing fine so it likely won't be an issue. Wii U ports could be a good placeholder for gaps in the release schedule for a while, if they added online multiplayer for something like Pikmin 3 I'd gladly buy it again. Don't think I'd rebuy anything else but Kart, though.

gently caress Ubi/EA/whoever, bring on the indies. 1st party Nintendo titles backed up by Stardew, roguelikes, and being a couch multiplayer machine in things like Overcooked and Jackbox, we're good.

Yeah that run I got to Mom's Heart and basically just stood still and melted it. Fruit Cake, Power is Money, Full Heal Pill, holy shots, increase speed when shooting in one direction -- yeah. The moment I stopped trying to maneuver everything died. Was good to see that even against mom with fruit cake, a few orbitals, and that rate of fire, the game didn't chug at all. Takoluka posted:From a few pages back, but Splatoon and Tokyo Mirage Sessions also used fully used both screens, as Splatoon required it for instant jumping and certain special attacks, and TMS basically treated it as your MC's cell phone. Star Fox Zero also used both screens perfectly fine, but, you know, because it didn't play 100% like Star Fox 64, it was extremely bad. Star Fox did not use both screens well. Taking your eyes off one screen to aim with the other was distracting as hell. Gyro aiming in addition to just aiming with where you're flying? Cool. Whatever it is they did? Garbage. How is splat 2 handling missile strikes and super jumps? I feel like the gamepad features were addressed in the demos but completely blanking.

Ursine Catastrophe posted:I've seen frequent slowdowns with Azazel/Brimstone + Tammy Head combos, and one particularly egregious run involving Toxic Shock. The slowdown can definitely happen with certain item/room combos. I just had an Eve run with a dozen fly buddies, 5 familiars (incl Brimstone), crazy rate of fire on pulsing tears, and made it through mom's heart without slowdown. I haven't unlcoked Azazel yet, even though I'm pretty sure I've had multiple runs that met the criteria, but will try him out as he seems to be the hero present in the handful of slowdown complaints.

Holding off on being too mad about Miiverse being gone until we see what the online is going to look like. Hopefully there is some kind of replacement, they have to know how popular it is. Do we have any idea when Wargroove or Overcooked are coming? I think those are the two indies my group is most excited for and there doesn't seem to be much info on the former at all, or updates on the switch port for the latter.

deadly_pudding posted:I seem to recall Overcooked and Stardew Valley, which are two of my big picks, were listed along with Splatoon in the nebulous "summer 2017". I will also be 100% getting Stardew Valley, but that will mostly be when sitting at my desk using the switch as a 3rd monitor. One of my friends and I used to play Advance Wars with link cables running between our desks in school, so we will be diving into Wargroove hard. Overcooked is just going to be a good game night.

Did anyone get/can anyone recommend getting Has Been Heroes? I'm generally a fan of roguelikes but this one appears to be getting panned. Not sure if it is worth picking up over just playing more Isaac. I've already made my bad game donation in Bomberman.

zaepg posted:Didn't see a general Nintendo topic, but I'm curious what Nintendos most durable console (bound to last a long time is). Wii U I figure would be pretty low on the list. I'm already seeing some GBA games have their battery run dry. I like to think disc based systems are more durable than cart based, but anything with a disc reader can tend to fail as well Don't need a battery if you're going to beat the game in one sitting.

Takoluka posted:My local Best Buy has approximately 30 Lucina amiibo on their shelf. 30. They've been there for weeks. I never know what to think of this "artificial scarcity" discussion, because there are literally dozens upon dozens of figures that absolutely no one is buying right now and may never buy. Now, when the next Fire Emblem game comes out, people will rush out in droves to buy those 30 Lucina amiibo and then everyone will start complaining about "artificial scarcity" again. You don't. You make as many as you think will sell and let people cry from time to time.

I think I saw it asked a week or two back but I got a chance to try this weekend - plugged Bomberman into my Switch, redeemed rewards. Plugged into friends switch, got a message that it had been redeemed. So rewards are tied to carts if you ever buy used.
