Hey what's performance like for Mega Man 11 on switch? Any downgrades or compromised, etc?

As far as Dark Souls, the network test killed my interest in a portable version of any from soft game but I'm not sure if that's a widespread sentiment.

That Twitter person forgot to include the name of the game in his post

E: oh it's the limited run physical copy dudes, and they're actually talking about a WiiU game, not a port to switch, ~gross~

It occurs to me that those guys are sometimes not very smart when it comes to picking projects. They recently announced physical copies of Layers of Fear for PS4 and Switch and frankly, that game is kinda poo poo. Would have made way more sense to go with Observer, the game that followed it since it's actually pretty decent.

Right? Like was that tweet supposed to make me feel sorry those you guys lost a ton of cash making a physical copy of a WiiU indie in 2018?

I've had a custom eBay search for Slime-san's physical edition set up for a couple months just to watch it. For nearly all of August and September people were posting "pre orders" of the collector's edition for an average of 110 bucks, and now that they have apparently shipped there are a ton more popping up. A great deal of them all seem to be from the same place. So LRG does basically nothing to stop scalpers from reselling their games on release, and frankly it wouldn't surprise me if they were in on it themselves.

Life is a lot better when you don't trouble yourself with plastic/cardboard trinkets anyways. Seeing kitchy gamer poo poo sell for three digits or more and reading all the frustrated posts about low stock/scalpers is one of my guility pleasures tbh

As a person who had to go back and re-purchase most of my NES collection from when I grew up (and was an idiot and got rid of it), I buy physical whenever I can. I don't want to turn on my Switch in like 10-15 years because I want to play something, only to find out that my entire game collection is wiped out.

People hoarding and reselling games as a commodity are loving assholes though.

Ehh emulators will always be around, and I think those who are willing to pay scalper prices are really the guility ones. Scalpers gotta eat

That said, as someone who has gone full digital for two gens now, I really haven't thought at all about the potential lost content of/when services die or licenses expire. It might suck one day but once again, emulators will probably satisfy any cravings

There's no reason Nintendo wouldn't have joy cons that are only compatible on the new switch. I'm not saying that's what's happening at all, but you must be fairly new to the company if you can't see them pulling that caper off

My money is on simply better battery and a marginally thinner profile though. Yes I'll buy it on launch, leave me alone

News flash to you people who want gorilla glass: a plastic screen is actually better, and $1000 phones should have them as the base layer too. Why? Because as soon as you put a glass screen protector over it you have the best of both worlds, and if you drop and crack the screen you just put a new glass screen protector on and you're good as new. But of course, phone manufactures want you to break it and buy a new one. In a perfect world phones would have a plastic layer and then a glass screen protector factory installed, with a couple spares included in the box. The way Nintendo does the Switch now is perfect because kids won't cut themselves and any adult with a brain getting a Switch for themselves gets a glass screen protector for $2 on eBay when they buy it.

I'm gonna blow ur mind

I put glass screen protectors on gorilla glass, don't @ me

Both times I shattered my protector, the gorilla glass underneath was perfectly fine so yeah this isn't a thing

On the other hand if you sell your og unit on Craigslist or fb marketplace, you'll recoup most of the cost so who cares just buy what you want now.

If the soon to be wife doesn't want it to come out of the budget just find a way to crank out $300 worth of side work, sell some stuff, or something, make sure it's "bonus" income or whatever

Even if you did want to play with lovely racist kids, that's really not a lot to ask for from a full priced party game in 2018.

I haven't played Super Mario Party yet but over time I've noticed that "the motion controls suck" usually means "I suck at this control scheme for children and am projecting"

Idk man feels like you're the one doing the projecting here. This is weirdly specific

I usually enjoy motion controls in fps games, but outside of that it has always felt like a cheap gimmick to me. Like a lovely gesture based button input rather than an actual immersive experience that tracks your motion accurately

But yeah motion aiming in shooters is the golden exception to this

Lol you don't say

With a lot of games, you can just tell they're gonna suck just by looking at a screenshot/blurb. In the internet though, it seems like every game ever manages to somehow generate some interest. Would this have even flown into the thread's radar if not for that weird star fox crossover? Coincidentally that's another sign that maybe the primary product is total stinky butt, no one in their right mind would want to associate a relevant quality product with an extremely dead franchise!

That said, even the ouya got tons of hype and heaps of cash thrown it's way with nothing more than some fluffy feel nice words so :shrug:

Or on any cheap Android phone, really. Drastic is a really really good DS emulator with a bazillion customization options for the ~perfect experience~ no matter the title.

My favorite was reversing the top/bottom screens in Etrian Odyssey so that I could draw a map on top while the bottom half served as my navigation/battle screen with see thru controller inputs. I played it on a Note 4 and used stylus+on screen controllers, making it a very Authentic Experience

Not sure how well that would work with an action heavy game but surely it's better than the bullshit they cooked up for the switch version.
