I watched Vinny play Vice City and San Andreas for about two and a half hours on the Switch and it looked fine. I have no idea what random people on Twitter/Youtube are freaking out about.

Vice City looked a bit janky though, like frames were completely missing from some animations and it sort of made Tommy look like a claymation figure with how jerky he moved but it's not that big a deal. The physics are also pretty wacky (he ran into a pole and it just kind of slowly floated into the air and hovered over his car) but that honestly seems to track with how I remember them being in the original versions too. Some framerate drops too but that doesn't bother me as much as it bothers some people (it bothered Vinny a bit more than me) but overall it looks perfectly fine.

Then he played San Andreas and it looked completely fine. The character models were kinda ugly but not all that bad. It looked like it ran much smoother too, and he even hit some rain and despite all those videos and screenshots on Twitter about how the game is completely unplayable during rain it didn't look like a problem at all.

I probably won't be getting it anytime soon but it's nice to know that the games play perfectly fine and people are just overreacting over poo poo that isn't a big deal in the slightest.

It's very good

One note is that it's much less about dungeon crawling, though. A lot of the game takes place in big, open areas (with a ton to explore, lots of hidden things, and lots of verticality) rather than dungeon crawls.

I feel very confident saying that if you like mainline SMT at all, you'll like SMTV.

The remake isn't on the switch, making it objectively inferior

Just got a text from a friend I hadn't heard from in ages, was looking for the name of that one tactics RPG where you could recruit the monsters.

It was Tactics Ogre and for some bizarre reason there does not(?) appear to be a version on the Switch, unless you count PPSSPP running on a hacked Switch.

He asked me how hard it would be to hack his Switch and I said don't bother.

But he did end up with Loop Hero and Saints Row IV so mission accomplished?

So, a Kindle Fire with an emulator and controller support?

Though Loop Hero'll keep 'im busy for a bit I bet.

There have been poor frame rates on Nintendo consoles going back to the NES. You're not a True NEShead unless it's been ingrained into you to accept lovely frame rates when too many pixels show up on the screen.

Like seriously, if you dont want to complain about frame rates, go spend $2000 on a 4090 and shut the gently caress up or accept that a $350 system is going to have some limitations

It will either be via cloud versions (lol multiplayer) or ports of the already existing mobile version. They’re just doing this to make Sony look bad for whining and trying to block the merger.

The Switch is truly dead if Nintendo's most beloved and respected third party developer is jumping ship like this

It’s a phone port of a 3DS game. Hope this helps.

FlapYoJacks posted:

No, and especially since Nvidia has a bunch of custom extensions on their Tegra platform specific to their chips. And this chip is also customized for Nintendo.

It involves a phone call to tech support, they'll ask some questions and then be able to remove your 2fa.

Assuming you didn't lose everything in a fire then they tell you to gently caress off

at least you know its definitely your kid because youre both stupid as gently caress

It's enjoyable, but falls short compared to "Breath Of The Wild."

I also really like the nitro deck. Even more so when I figured out there's a tiny button on the back which you can use to dim the light of the home button.

The vibration on it is not awesome though. I turned it off when my wife got all snippy about the buzzing while I was playing Arceus.

when the pixel remasters were first announced i didn't think I'd have any interest in ff1 but it's actually pretty sick, i can only imagine being a kid in 1987, getting to the flying fortress, and seeing that it's a freaking space station
