I said come in! posted:They are all intentionally ignoring the overwhelming examples and evidence that say otherwise lol. It's goons being goons. The emulator is in a really unacceptable state in its current form. I reckon that one-size-fits-all emulator with runtime patching will probably bite them in the rear end down the line with some titles, given how strangely-coded some N64 games were.

Detective No. 27 posted:I don't think it'll happen on Switch, but the next Nintendo console will be far enough removed that they'll do a limited edition reproduction Wii Remote for some game re-release. The only Nintendo controller that's possibly unlikely to get a wireless NSO version is the Gamecube's, because Nintendo could just knock out more Smash Adapters and actual Gamecube controllers instead and call it a day.

Well I was told my OLED Switch is currently stuck in a processing center and it'd be weeks before I'd likely receive it due to the place being short-staffed... And then it turned up this afternoon!  . It's definitely not worth replacing an existing Switch if you have one already, but it is very nice! (For the record mine's getting replaced because it's a launch Switch with the dodgy fan and I can see a bulge in the corner of the screen and  .)Edit: The new docking station is very nice and much better than the old one. Would've liked that third USB port kept somewhere on it though (the internal one is replaced with a sorely-needed Ethernet port at least), as if you've got the Smash adapter it's gonna take them both. Edit2: Okay, one minor nitpick; If you're gonna go for the whole monochrome colour scheme Nintendo, why not use the white JoyCon covers from the Skyward Sword set rather than the regular black ones? They pair so nicely with the new white JoyCons!

My N64 controller arrived today, and my favourite touch that nobody else seems to notice/care about is they actually distributed the weight in this thing towards the back like it's got a rumble pak attached. It's still lighter, but the balance is tipped just enough to have that familiar feel to it.

Rodney The Yam II posted:I died lots at every boss but eventually I learned their patterns and succeeded. You'll get em don't worry! I've honestly found Metroid Dread frustrating at times. The devs don't seem to get that projectile attacks from bosses are meant to be minor nuisances (if not shootable for ammo and health) rather than serious threats, and fights like Kraid's are less fun than they could be because you get stuck dealing with what should be minor hits instead carving off entire energy tanks The belly shots in Kraid's case. The only times projectiles have been shootable is when they're clearly pulling from older games; Kraid's nails, and the Ring Beams on the Mother Brain-esque core units. Some of the later bosses also wear out their welcome because they REALLY want you to hit that counter attack to dump damage into them, and if you gently caress up that chance it just drags out the fight considerably as the entire phase repeats for another go rather than just being a cool extra thing you can do. I'm at Raven Beak and it's a slog of a fight because of how long it feels just to get to that second phase... and then there's a third phase on top of that all wearing you down with gently caress-all recovery items given. I swear someone selected the quantity of health drops in a boss fight based off looking at prior Metroid games, and nobody told them that Dread bosses hit much harder on-average. What you get back isn't going to account for even a single extra hit. I'm at the final boss and I can only really say I mostly like Dread. It's overall a good game, but I'm hoping they learn from this one to do even better for the next. One of their other big problems is someone in their level design loves arbitrary one-way passages and while it's fine while following the breadcrumb trail to the next upgrade or boss it's utterly tedious having to circle around a big chunk of the map because one door arbitrarily shuts behind you or a Grapple/Wave Beam block has landed in a place that blocks off an old route.

Plant MONSTER. posted:I actually loved Pokemon up until and including Gen 7 but it's hard to come up with concrete reasons why Gen 8 turned me off from the series and then this Diamond/Pearl remake looks like it was phoned in. This is a Gamefreak problem and not so much a Nintendo one, though. Honestly with everything I've seen and heard on the Diamond/Pearl remake I'm starting to think they just did it as a cash grab to fund Pokemon Legends: Arceus.

FFXIV Porn posted:metroid dread bosses are also win. if you could just tank everything and regain health easy it would be extremely bad The problem is it feels like there's no margin for error to actually learn how to beat them. You just go from either full-health to dead with no wiggle room between because you made A Mistake. I don't think like every fight needs to have all damage nerfed, but I just feel a better range of damage dealt between the different attacks would balance them a bit better. Eating poo poo on a boss' big telegraphed swings is absolutely what should happen, but getting dinged a whole energy tank or more off small projectiles, when you don't necessarily have many E-Tanks to begin with for most of the game, is a bit unnecessarily harsh imo.

LionArcher posted:From what I've seen of actual footage, it doesn't look this bad? I'm still holding off till I see actual footage from a switch. So far what I'm seeing (when it's not really close up) looks drastically better than this. I'd wager there's a launch-day patch that should probably deal with at least some of the stuff like the rain grid and the material mismatch on the basketball jersey. (I actually know exactly what's happened with the jersey too - Someone's copied the material from one with the number 7 and forgotten to swap the Normal file for one with a raised 9 on the surface.)

Oh, sweet a package from EB Games is arriving today and... oh it's the other thing out today; The Legend of Zelda Game-and-Watch  .And SMTV's tracking now says due by Monday  . (Thankfully it's currently relatively close this time, rather than winding up taking a prolonged holiday in Sydney like my OLED Switch did).I'll just have to play old Zelda games on a neat novelty handheld in the meantime, I guess.

I would've thought they'd just reuse the same hardware as the Mario G&W and just flashed with Zelda instead. Especially considering chip shortages right now. Incidentally I've got mine too and it is indeed neat as hell.

My SMTV: Fall of Man Edition finally arrived in the mail and it's actually really cool; The bag's a little small than I expected (it's about big enough for a good-sized water bottle and a few other sundries), but the two-disc soundtrack has 25 tracks on one of the CD so it might actually be the full game soundtrack (Haven't played yet) and the other disc is a 10-track selection of theme and battle music from SMT I-IV and even a track from SMT if (The "Karakozaka High School Anthem - Archrival (Akira's Chapter)" track specifically, if that means anything to someone who's played it).

lunar detritus posted:Huh, I wonder how much they'll have to work to make it work on the switch. It's a surprisingly gorgeous game for the type of game it is. One point of note is some of the later missions got a tad chuggy on the PS4 when you've got a shitload of units and attacks going off at once. I'm curious to see how the Switch will cope, or if they'll give the game a major optimization pass in general.

YoshiOfYellow posted:At least literally every other character rightfully calls out Date for being a perverted shithead. It's also surprisingly actually plot-relevant once you get to the finale of the story after a whole lot of allusions about Aiba "adjusting his dose". Though of course didn't need to be there to begin with. Ending spoilers; It's because Aiba's keeping him relatively-sane with artificial seratonin injections because of his swapped-out serial killer/psychopathic brain, and she can't seem to manage the dosage for poo poo. It's why he loops between serious and "TITTIES!"  with no middle ground.

But people know what a Raccoon and a Turtle are, and it's just two more animals among many without it really affecting their character, so no harm done in a localization change.

Detective No. 27 posted:I'm all for a quality over quantity approach. But it would be a lot better if they let you purchase the games individually rather than the weird rental service approach. Gamepass or PS+ this ain't. No, it wouldn't. (Though I fully agree the expansion pass is way overpriced). The only games that ever sold well under the Virtual Console label on their own were the big Nintendo ones that everyone plays or tries for nostalgia's sake, so there'd be no incentive to try and get titles like Operation Winback on the platform because hardly anyone's going to buy it compared to, say, Mario Kart 64 and whoever owns or develops the hypothetical standalone eShop version loses money on that (and thus have no incentive to put anything else on the service). This has been a known problem since the Virtual Console in the Wii days, and migrating to a service model is the only reason we might see a broader selection than what got onto the Wii and WiiU stores.

Detective No. 27 posted:I'm not a publisher. I'm not concerned with how well the individual games sell or sold for. As a customer, the Wii Virtual Console approach was a far better experience. The fact is their N64 emulation was better 15 years ago than it is today. Hackers were able to make a better native version of Super Mario 64 than both of the official versions on Switch. Ocarina of Time just got reverse engineered so expect an unofficial Switch port of that pretty soon. I get that Nintendo is a large corporation with it's own goals and a profit motive but it's gotta feel bad to find these small teams doing better work in their spare time. You're conflating two entirely different things; The fact that it's a service has no bearing on the quality of it (which is demonstrably inferior to the version of games on older consoles). Making them standalone would still have seen them built the exact same way off a standardized emulator, because they've been doing that since the WiiU eShop releases.

There's literally no way to get the Virtual Console games from those to the Switch other than rebuilding them from scratch in a new emulator like they have.

The only real concern to raise about it is maybe don't play it if you're in a bad mental headspace. It gets real dark.

Aerofallosov posted:I'm busy in SMT V, and am wondering: Apotheosis in the World of Shadows. You can pull skills or attributes (ie; change your weaknesses and resistances), but not both, from a Demon essence. They're all one-shot uses too, so choose what you pull out of a Demon essence and what you put it on carefully. I think you're kinda missing out if you want to spec the Nahobino as support though (you do you of course), because you get some very nice Phys and Almighty moves from Essences tailored specifically for the Nahabino fairly early.
