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

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

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.

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

so hyped for mario kart delivery on friday. its a great little machine.

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?
― Moodles, Wednesday, 26 April 2017 14:28 (seven years ago) link
there's not much else yet, next major thing is a port of the last mario kart, and then splatoon 2 after that.
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 26 April 2017 14:30 (seven years ago) link
I Am Setsuna is a fun Square rpg throwback. also King Of Fighters 98 for some dual joycon multiplayer times.
― jamiesummerz, Wednesday, 26 April 2017 14:40 (seven years ago) link
i just started Shovel Knight on PS4. that game is super tight

Kamiko is well worth the five bucks they are asking on eshop, it's a simple Zeldaesque game that can be played through in an hour although I see time attack people already getting that down to less than 10 minutes lol. Enjoyed the developers previous Fairune games on 3DS and this feels like a step up from those.

i'm really loving this machine btw - it feels like it's making good on all the unrealised potential of the wii u, i just wish it didn't share the wii u's anaemic release schedule
― gnaw on my meat oreo (bizarro gazzara), Wednesday, 3 May 2017 12:13 (seven years ago) link
two months after release, I walked into a gamestop to ask if they had a switch and i got a wan smile and a "check back every day!"

my fav thing about the Switch as a platform is the OS is snappy as fuck. It wakes from sleep almost instantly, drops into and out of the home menu instantly, feels functional and un-frustrating to pick up and use. The Wii U basically wasn't that. idk what the PS4 or Xbone experience are like in this respect but the PS3 wasn't much better than the Wii U. (Also I've like totally lost track of "console generations" now and I hope they are over)
― softie (silby), Wednesday, 3 May 2017 18:26 (seven years ago) link
if console generations are over, then the forced-upgrade cycle of the PC master race will crush us all
― Nhex, Wednesday, 3 May 2017 19:42 (seven years ago) link
all the current consoles are basically pcs inside anyway

Man oh man I did not like Kamiko. If it had been a Steam game I would have asked for a refund by about 30mins in. I ended up getting to the end - waiting for a single interesting enemy, or clever puzzle and found nothing in the 62mins it took me to complete. I don't see me even attempting to play the other two characters, because I just didn't find anything interesting about it, which is a shame because I loved HLD and loved the idea of this being a simple HLD-lite, but it feels like a polished version of something you would create in a Unity 2D tutorial. Still, it was only £4.50 I guess.
I loved Shovel Knight though - I've been avoiding it on the assumption it was yet another 8/16-bit style indie game that would probably not play nicely (I got burned by Axiom Verge), but it's fantastic. Don't see myself doing the Plague Of Shadows unless I get stuck for something to play, but enjoyed the original game and Spectre of Torment very much. Probably spend about 13 hours, which feels a reasonable amount for £20.
I still haven't quite got into I am Setsuna - about 3 hours in - but I'm enjoying it so far. Now that Mario Kart is out and my wife is interested in the Switch I don't know when I'll get back to it though.

shovel knight is amazing but it's really casting an ugly light on just how badly my 2d sidescrolling skills have atrophied

Yeah, the stats when it's like "You have died this many times", and I know 90% of those deaths would not have befallen 13yr old me.
