Counterpoint: it made so little impression on me I didn't even play in the second testpunch, I'd already had enough. If it were $20 for sure I'd pick it up but it just didn't feel like a $60 concept to me. Breath of the Wild and ARMS shouldn't be the same price.

This is correct. ARMS should should $60, and BotW should be $140.

I love my Switch but every time I go into the Jungle or under a waterfall in BOTW and see the framerate tank I just kind of :smith: to myself.

Wonder how much of this is "it's just not a heavy lifting system" and how much of it is "crappy first gen programming" or a mix of the two.

It's probably just a lack of general optimization for the new console. I imagine the next Zelda game will have little to any framerate issues, just because the console will really be understood at that point.

My guess is that Smash for Switch is done, it's ready, a huge run of carts have been made and packaged and Nintendo simply forgot to release it because every employee all the way up to the top thought that was someone else's responsibility and oh boy are they all gonna be embarrassed when they realize that.

I think I posted a few months ago about the absolutely horrendous struggles I had playing Mario Kart 8D online. Could barely make it through a single match without the dreaded "a communication error has occurred'. I've tried every rumored solution: changing the DNS settings, changing the WiFi frequency and channel, moving the router around, nothing. So I bought one of these USB LAN adapters hoping that might help.


Nope. What gives? I'm on a bog standard cable internet connection in a big city that is rock solid for literally every other game on every other platform I've ever used it on. How loving hard is it to allow me to play Mario Kart? Please tell me there's a reason, a solution, beyond "lol Nintendo".

I have disconnected from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe literally once ever across wired, 2.4GHz wireless, and 5GHz wireless, also between TV, tabletop, and handheld modes. I'm not going to say there aren't problems somewhere, but I've hardly ever experienced one myself.

I got a few communication errors in the Splatfest test fire but never during a match. I'm not sure what's happening with your setup. It could very well be a hardware defect.

e: I dropped a match against a JP player in Puyo Tetris the other day, but he was also losing, so it could have been a rage quit? I can't say for sure.

I'm so trash at it I won't even buy it, lol. Without something like a N64 dpad there's not much point in me playing Tetris, I found. The Wii eshop Tetris was good for the price I guess.

The JoyCon Dpad actually gives me the most precision in play. Although, I believe you can also use something like the Pokken controllers for it, as it natively works now. Maybe you can find a good solution!

Even with the Dualies, no less.


The simple hard truth about split-screen Splatoon is the hardware can't handle it. All that ink has to be dynamically rendered four times over, and it's not exactly a light load on the processor to start with.

If the system could handle it in 4K, it would still be awful.

My FGC friends and acquaintances are super spergy about frame data, balance updates, and tech changes, with some very huge biases caused by nostalgia goggles and how they feel things *should* be in games they play. If you're looking for some SF2 fun, you'll probably like it. If you want to get competitive and start looking into meta, it will exhaust you, and you will probably hate it.

What in the world are people expecting from a Splatoon sequel that would be so fundamentally different from the original? Like, when Doom 2 came out, did everyone complain that it should have just been a $5 WAD file?
