i might buy splatoon 3. but ive never played splatoon, dont much care for competitive multiplayer, and am just kinda "whatever" about shooters

ok maybe i shouldnt buy splatoon 3.

but if it has a single player mode i probably will

They all have single player, a fun campaign mode. But for 1 and 2 at least, I would say those modes are too short to be worth buying the game of single player is what you're mostly into. Maybe 3's will be bigger.

The thing is on the Wii every N64 title they emulated they built a custom emulator specifically for that title.

On the WiiU they built one more generic emulator that has patches to run differently on a per game basis, and these are applied at runtime, which contributes to input lag, and makes things overall less accurate.

But it's all still extremely close to where only hardcore hobbyists could tell you the difference in most cases.

However the other factor is people played N64 on CRTs with wired controllers. And even on the Wii, most people were still playing on a CRT. So the input lag of a wireless Bluetooth controller on an LCD television is going to seem extremely noticeable by comparison. And the natural way CRTs run often make the deficiencies of older games less noticeable as well.

Nintendo is bad at supply and or demand, around this time last year I had to have bots set up to buy a Switch for my friend because other bots were buying the stock out the second it was available.

Then Amiibos and Animal Crossing Switches too, yeah. They'll ship 100 to a city where thousands want a product.

Isn't that more of a retail distribution issue? Target/GameStop/etc buys the units and decides where to allocate them

Did someone alter this video or does this really happen on the emulator?

That's not the emulator, it's the connection. They have a bad connection that is stuttering frame by frame. SNES and NES emulator uses rollback and you don't get this kind of effect, but N64 doesn't for some reason and requires both sides to be perfectly synced.

As to why they are playing a single player game multiplayer, you can do that to show the game to your friend or move a little cursor around on screen to show your friend where to go.

It's weird that they don't use rollback in this because they recently started using it in their games and even changing already released games like Super Mario Party to use it

It's people with awful connections blaming Nintendo for them not understanding basic networking.

To be clear it is still Nintendo problem to an extent. They can make things like this work even over poor connection. And they do sometimes! Mario Party Superstars plays perfectly even if half the people have really bad connections.

Persona is far more popular than SMT, but making your review about comparison between the two series is extremely dumb primarily because most people have never played either. Especially most Nintendo owners.

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! :bubblewoop:. 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 :yikes:.)

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! :colbert:

That's just where the extra graphics go when you are running something easy like a 2d game. Run some high powered 3d games and it'll flatten right out

Mario Party fuckin rules.

I bought a golden pipe then landed on a hidden block which had an item bag, which had another golden pipe in it. Then someone got the star and the new one appeared in front of me.

Went from zero stars to 3 in turns 5, 4, and 3.

On turn 2, two different players used boo to steal my star, putting me in last place with 1 star to everybody else's two.

On the last turn I landed on a hidden block which was a star but I had far fewer coins than the other player I was tied with. Then that player landed on Bowser space and lose a star, putting me in first.

They won exactly one more minivans then I did and got the first bonus star, but I landed on the most red spaces and got the second bonus star and won.

Look on the bright side, you have another five days to ponder why they didn't include the DX version of Link's Awakening.

I'm glad actually, DX until this release has been the only way you can play the original outside of owning the cartridge. The original has some really fun glitches to play around with.

Vvvvvv from my understanding Swoshi is made a lot better by the dlc but I ain't buying that. I think the base game is pretty lacking. But the expansion pass stuff is better than anything ever added to third versions was apparently

My memory of bosses is getting about 6-8 hits before dying if I was getting some incidental health refills from their trash attacks/counters which seemed right to me

Yeah that's about right.

You know how in Zelda bosses basically have a pattern and you gotta do the pattern usually three times for a total of 8-9 hits?

Well in Metroid you are the boss. They gotta hit you 8 or 9 times

I honestly could not care less about rumble; I'm more likely to miss the gyro. But the Split Pad Pro supposedly has a much better D-Pad and games generally don't need both a good D-Pad and gyro at the same time, so it should be fine.

In handheld games are supposed to use the gyro in the actual switch unit anyway
