and nu-mario is supposed to be the big holiday release obv

splatoon 2 and xenoblade 2 are already announced for this year
― ciderpress
xenoblade 2 is projected for 2017 just in japan, right? and that's not a firm release date and could very easily be delayed. if/when xenoblade 2 hits in r1 we will be getting a switch... not sure if the mario alone will be enough to push us over the edge.

by "the first one" do you mean x? the first one was on the wii and ported to the "new 3ds". x was the wii u one.

right, right: xenoblade 1 was wii (which was impossible to get even when i had a wii attached to my television) right? i'm finally a generation behind.

yeah, the original xenoblade chronicles was massively underprinted in r1, and was only released in the first place as a result of "operation rainfall"; the apparent belief was that nobody was interested in jrpgs in the west. if you didn't pre-order it, you probably didn't get to buy it.

we need a xenogears thread to torture ZS with (Dragon Quest VIII)
― SFTGFOP (El Tomboto), Wednesday, 15 March 2017 22:15 (seven years ago) link
the pain
but yes, xenogears is so good
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 15 March 2017 22:20 (seven years ago) link
xenogears was approximately as good as xenosaga wasn't

I had the same issue with Xenogears! I couldn't get past a boss, but given where I was saved I also couldn't backtrack to level up.

switch isn't region locked right? so you could play them in japanese if localization doesn't happen

With all their remakes how have they never gotten off their guff to do the SD series in English
― Nhex, Thursday, 23 March 2017 23:12 (seven years ago) link
been thinking about it and if they do bring over SD3 to the US in English, i'll buy a Switch for that

uhh wld it be worth it to run windows on a 3 year old macbook
― lag∞n, Sunday, 26 March 2017 20:44 (seven years ago) link
best option is a rpi emulating nintendo ds emulating a bootcamp mac emulating the work-in-progress pc version, or an iphone video in portrait mode showing the results of that, even better
― Karl Malone, Sunday, 26 March 2017 21:09 (seven years ago) link
hmm what abt just watching ppl the game on youtube

damn this is exciting news the mac emus for gamecube basically dont work lol

yeah like you do need an actual video card i think, i couldn't get them to run on my previous laptop
― ciderpress, Sunday, 26 March 2017 21:37 (seven years ago) link
how do i make a video card on my lappy
― lag∞n, Sunday, 26 March 2017 21:38 (seven years ago) link
expensively apparently
― lag∞n, Sunday, 26 March 2017 22:01 (seven years ago) link
i tried 1.7.3d of this emulator. the game ran at 9fps and everything in the world was like 3 feet under the ground.
they are making quick progress and also making $20k+ of donations, which i am kind of iffy about. this being a brand new game and all and them getting paid to make it free. its a crowdsourced piracy.

should we have a separate thread to discuss crime, I feel like it deserves its own thread
― Not the real Tombot (El Tomboto), Sunday, 26 March 2017 23:06 (seven years ago) link
yeah emulating current games is not in my range of emulation interest

i love crimes

this is not released in korea, but definitely going to pick one up when i'm in japan in may
i really don't understand who would choose to play zelda on their pc instead of buying one of these (if you have a pc than can emulate it, i assume you can afford to)
― the ghost of tom, choad (thomp), Monday, 27 March 2017 05:19 (seven years ago) link
can anyone really afford to pay $400 for one game? plus the time commitment
― lag∞n, Monday, 27 March 2017 05:23 (seven years ago) link
time commitment = do you think the emulated version comes with a 'press here for rupee$' button? I mean, it might, I don't know.
― Andrew Farrell, Monday, 27 March 2017 09:32 (seven years ago) link
that is basically what everyone does when they buy a launch system, no? how many have two games worth playing at the outset
― Nhex, Monday, 27 March 2017 09:48 (seven years ago) link
the switch is a handheld, emulating it on a PC is pretty far from the same thing
― ciderpress, Monday, 27 March 2017 12:55 (seven years ago) link
i am on dis ting now - it's fucking great, basically the most gorgeous handheld ever that also happens to connect to your teevee

i can't wait to be able to walk into a store and buy one of these
― adam, Wednesday, 26 April 2017 11:54 (seven years ago) link
we picked one up last week. Came with Zelda, Shovel Knight, Has Been Heroes, and Snipperclips. So far Zelda is the big draw, the other games are ok. Any other current games out there that I should be looking at?
