Sun/Moon has a godawful interface that took everything awesome about X/Y's interface and replaced it with the Rotom which, while cute, is a terrible map with a massive "bezel" that eats up maybe half the lower screen's real estate. All other features, ones that used to be easily accessible via the touch screen, are now sequestered to the start menu. A Switch port is the only explanation for such a horrible change. Losing the second screen is no big lose since the Rotom map sucks anyways, and everything else is accessed via Start like the old games. Unless game freak just decided to make the UI suck for laughs, it seems intentionally done to make a Switch port easier on them. I mean, a Switch port of Pokemon Sun/Moon and maybe Smash Deluxe would make for an amazing holiday line up alongside Mario Odyssey and Xenoblade.

MysteriousStranger posted:So yes when you smash it in drukenly? Also isn't dust one of the hardest things out there? Screen protectors exist to take a hit, not because they can't be damaged. You're right that screen protectors will eventually get damaged, but tempered glass will last you longer than plastic and are less of a pain in the rear end to apply. This is especially true given the design of the dock, as plastic can scuff a plastic protector so you're better off in the long just using a glass one.

Mahoning posted:Sometimes, a console is so bad that even amazing games won't get people to buy them. It wasn't the games that failed the Wii U, but the release of like 2-3 marquee titles a year. People aren't going to buy your system when big titles are spaced 6-8 months apart. I think Nintendo has learned their lesson and is at least getting indie devs on board early. The Switch also has the niche of being portable, so I hope that keeps it afloat since I don't buy that big list of third party devs anymore than when they did the same for the Wii U.

THE loving MOON posted:Sonic Mania at least looks like a sure bet. Sonic 2017 is a coinflip at best. So in theory it's more than likely to be good. But also be cautious about new Sonic games.

Consummate Professional posted:Boy now I remember why I don't keep track of console threads. I like the switch and I'd like even more I could safely take it with me places. Any reason why this case would be bad? https://www.amazon.com/Industries-N...rds=Switch+case The outside of the case is stiff and seems sturdy enough. It's a nice case even if it isn't the all-encompassing travel package. It strikes a balance "just bringing the switch" and "the Switch and everything but the dock."

Surprised I like the joycon grip so much. I still got a Pro because it's still a better controller and it's easier to switch when I don't have to mess with the joycons.

The 3DS is six years old so this was as good as time as any to end the Wii U and 3DS and release something like the Switch. Like even the mega popular DS only lasted seven.

The gamepad had potential, but even Nintendo barely used the feature, which makes you wonder why they bothered in the first place. The switch incorporated and improved upon the major thing the gamepad was ultimately used for.

I'd still like discounts on Deluxe games so Wii U owners who felt burned are encouraged to pick up the Switch. Something like "Hey, you registered these games on your Wii U account, so here's 50% off on Mario Kart and Smash Deluxe, thanks for supporting us in spite of our garbage fire system." Not that this is going to happen. Not from the company that charges five dollars for the privilege of owning Super Mario Bros. on another system.

I'm an idiot and managed to gently caress up applying both of my amFilm protectors. The first one was just a huge bubble in the center and I could not for the life of me get rid of, and the second somehow a piece of dust got caught and lifting it to clean left a corner unsticky and it looked real bad and was slowly growing. I mean they're ten bucks on Amazon Prime so it's not a huge loss but I haven't messed with screen protectors since my old iPod Touch and forgot how incredibly bad I am at applying them.

If Metroid was like BotW it either wouldn't be Metroid or would be super annoying because 90% of the world would be initially closed off because you lack a screw attack or whatever. So it wouldn't really be like BotW. Metroid has always been about exploring an area and seeing where you newest toys will let you go. Older Zeldas are kinda like that, yet far more linear.

A GLISTENING HODOR posted:I bought Binding of Isaac, but have never played any of them, based solely on the "it's just the dungeons from 8-bit Zelda" sales pitch. While the game has the trappings of NES Zelda dungeons, the gameplay is more akin to a dual-stick shooter with a shitton of items that change your stats or affect how you play. It's still a fun game, but I think a number of people might feel cheated if they bought the game thinking it was a spiritual successor to Zelda 1.

A lot of Wii U games do have small, gimmicky pad functions. For example, Mario 3D World had platforms that would move when you blew into the mic or touched them. Nothing insurmountable, but also something that requires a bit of extra work.

People are already making DIY docks with 3D printers, so I assume a decent third party dock will come along soonish.

They'll let another Switch communicate with the Switch playing the game, and it'll act like a gamepad. If you're a real Nintendo fan, you'll own two Switches

Second set of screen protectors came in. Took it slow this time and the result is significantly better. Not perfect, but it may smooth out with time. Also I noticed my bezel has some scuffs from the dock. Nothing noticeable, as I had to actual put my Switch in direct light to notice them. But they're there, and I imagine it's because the way my Switch sits under my desk I was pulling it out at a slight angle given how low the scuffs are. I imagine with enough elbow grease I could buff them out but eh don't really care.

Norns posted:I agree the menus and inventory are kinda crap. Like, the Sheikah Slate is definitely supposed to be a gamepad, and you can see how much better inventory would have been if you had access to your inventory on it. poo poo, maybe they axed gamepad features because it would have clearly made the Wii U version the definitive one.

shortspecialbus posted:So to talk about other games more and less about stupid loving weapon sperging in Zelda, aside from Fast RMX, what seems to be worth getting? Binding of Isaac features a ton of replay value, and while $40 seems a lot it does include all of the DLC. Shovel Knight, if you haven't played it, is an excellent NES-style platformer in the vein of Mega Man, but way less punishing. It also includes all three campaigns released thus far, and there's at least one more coming. Blaster Master Zero has been getting solid reviews if you like retro stuff.
