So this is what we do now, people are lovely to each other and we make new threads and pray it won't happen again

I remember when it happened in the last Wii U thread and then no one even bothered to make a new one.:smith:

I’m traveling across the country and regret not bringing my Switch with me. I brought my 3DS instead so I could force myself through my backlog on there but it’s not the same.

Why the gently caress isn’t one of them Castlevania also.

do any of the megaman collections other than the first one have the rewind feature? my 4yr old loves megaman but all the games are too hard for him (other than the psp remake of 1) and i end up having to help so much he may as well not even be playing.

No. Mega Man 11 has a new player casual difficulty though that may work out for him.

Solomon’s Key is one of the popular NES games I’ve never tried so looking forward to that. I do love the other two. It’s amazing how much of an improvement NES OTG is over Golf.

So with Mario party not being eligible for handheld does that mean I can't bring my switch over to my friends house and control my guy from my switch while he plays on the big screen?

Maybe but you’d probably have to play in table top mode.

So I have never played Dark Souls, but I have heard it is stupid hard. Is it fun as well?

It’s hard in the sense that you have to be very careful. It’s not too bad once you get the mechanics down and start to learn what to expect from the game. It’s very fun, there’s a reason why people have been constantly talking about it since its original release 7 years ago.

Be warned, playtests indicate that other than portability this might be the worst version yet so if you own literally any video game console or PC manufactured since 2006 you may have better and significantly cheaper options to play this

Where you hear that? I know it’s obviously not as good as on PC/PS4/X1 but I haven’t heard it being worse than on 360 and PS3.

A vast majority of the mini games use motion control that does not make sense to us the pro controller for

Yeah, a lot of mini games require motions that wouldn’t work or be awkward as hell with a pro controller. They still should have had a mode to omit those minigames if you’re playing with pro controllers instead though.

A cheaper handheld only “Switch” makes more sense since 3DS will surely be dead by then and it’ll be just in time for the new core Pokémon but I really hope it’s a Switch Pro.

I still wouldn’t expect it to match a PS4 but it would be nice to get a little power jump.

I haven't played Fortnite for a while, but the gyro worked by tilting the controller for left/right aim when in other games like Splatoon you turn it like a steering wheel- which I prefer much more

You can change it now in Fortnite to work more like how Splatoon does it. It lets you choose between yaw or roll gyro.
