A patch dropped for Bomberman that's supposed to fix the input lag.

It doesn't.

Why wouldn't you just rest your fingers on the actual buttons???

Nonstop death grip and/or not enough hand dexterity to move thumbs and fingers separately from each other. Same deal as people who can't use thumbsticks without clicking them in every time they move them.

Shovel Knight is the only "retro inspired" type game I've played that actually feels retro. It takes a few liberties, but it really feels like you're playing a previously unreleased late life cycle NES game or something.

It has a few Nintendo Hard segments, but doesn't get frustrating because there are tons of checkpoints and no life limit.

How do you handle analog trigger usage in games like Super Mario Sunshine if you're using the Switch Pro Controller that has digital triggers? You're literally completely changing the gameplay.

I know that's only one example but it's also Nintendo's #1 franchise so it's kind of important to think about.

Make the right trigger a full press and map the halfway down position to the left bumper, a button that didn't exist on Gamecube.

No wireless headphone support is some weak poo poo

Don't wireless headphone transmitters plug into a regular 3.5mm jack like normal, or did they somehow go out of their way to make it not work like they did with USB-C to HDMI cables?

Hear me out here... Tecmo Bowl HD. Same play style as the NES. But modern graphics.

This was the first thing I thought of when I saw the announcement back in February. It's perfect for the Switch. A Virtual Console release would be okay but I'd rather have a new game with made up names than the NES ROM with all of the names stripped out.

Sell it as a 2-in-1 cart with Ice Hockey HD and maybe have a 6 Joy-Con mode.

My only complaint about Zelda's weapon system is that you can't keep attacking after your weapon breaks to finish off an enemy by punching him in the face.

Playtonic really couldn't figure out that Jontron was a racist goofball from his bizarre rants where he yelled "NIGGERS!" on Game Grumps years ago? It was tweeting that pushed things over the edge?

I LOVE Neo Turf Masters but I'll wait for confirmation that it doesn't have horrible input/sound lag like Metal Slug 3.

There's no gyro invert option in Splatoon 2 either but at this point I'm willing to accept the fact that I'm a hosed up freak. It takes me a few minutes to adjust every time I pick up the controller but it's still good as hell.

Seriously why is "aim the direction you rotate the controller to" not an option, yet alone the default?

Adapting to holding the controllers upside down isn't hard, but it sure is a weird oversight.

FWIW Splatoon 2 is also the first console shooter I've played where I haven't turned look sensitivity up to maximum and not wished that I could increase it 300% more. Apart from being inverted the range of motion feels really natural right out of the box.

get you a mouse that can do both

seriously though i know it varies by game but having your mouse sensitivity so low that you need to pick up and move the mouse is pretty :psyduck: to me

Logitech thumbshelf mice are unusable to me because I plant my thumb in place on the desk as a reference point and move the mouse with just my fingertrips. 1 inch of movement = 3 complete turns is how I've set up my sensitivity since Doom II. If i want to make smaller movements, I move my hand less.

Splatoon is the first console shooter I've ever played where I can concentrate on the actual game instead of just thinking TURN FASTER TURN FASTER TURN FASTER.

Loopoo mentions putting the money from his Switch toward something else until it's time to buy another one, so I think I know his type and have known several people like this in real life. They view any money they have as "wasted because it's just sitting around", as if life is some sort of real-time strategy game. On payday, they budget for rent, groceries, etc. then get on Amazon and spend a few hours shopping so they can blow the exact amount of whatever is left on their paycheck. Then the same logic of something "going to waste" get applied to all of the poo poo they own too, so it turns into a nonstop, futile cycle of selling and buying everything in the hope that they can achieve the ideal allocation of assets for that particular second of their lives.

$700 in savings... better buy a Switch and a bunch of slow cookers so I can sell them over the next 17 months to buy toilet paper so it doesn't go to waste!

Nov 9, 2005


Don't act your circle of friends doesn't have "that slow cooker guy" who always has 8-12 really nice slow cookers but every time you go over to his house they are completely different models.

If you ever get stuck in line at the checkout behind somebody who has a cart filled with seemingly random junk and once they are up there they start picking out items to put back until their total matches a specific amount of money they have with them, this is what they are doing.

Neither does my keyboard. The lack of analog triggers isn't a huge deal since you spend so much time in the air anyway.

only seems to work if you don't have another user account set up? not 100% sure, but it's not showing for me with 2 users on the system

It took me almost a week of owning my Switch to find that option, so now I'm wondering if it's on a time delay or something to mess with people.

You're probably right but I assumed otherwise because I can bring up the manual user selection screen even with one user. Weird to make the opposite not work.

Edit: You're correct, the option disappears if you make another user. WTF, Nintendo?

My fav is when people are super anti-piracy even for out of print games and act like buying a copy used isn't the exact same thing as piracy at that point.

well why not posted:

There won't be a Switch emulator for quite some time. The Wii U emulator is very advanced because the Wii / GC / Wii U family is fairly closely related. Switch is a different beast so it'll be different.

It's different, but it's also really normal off the shelf stuff this time around. Even if emulators are way off, it wouldn't surprise me to see "cracked" games modified and repackaged to run on non-Nintendo hardware.

something as simple as sticking a front end with global leaderboards over balloon fight would be super fun

Back when I pirated stuff, it wasn't about money OR morals, it was because it was a superior service. It was a choice between driving 45 minutes to the game store or just staying home and downloading.

Funny that now that everything can be downloaded legitimately, I'm going as physical as possible this round because of Amazon Prime.

Neo Geo is loaded with games that are perfect for Switch's portable multiplayer, though. Twinkle Star Sprites, Puzzle Bobble, Samurai Shodown, etc.
