the Yoshi game looked way better than the last time we saw it, i like the presentation a lot more than woolly world. the way you see the artifice of the world from behind when flipping the stages in reverse is good stuff

“Yoshi’s Crafted World” is a miserable title. Why not “Crafty”?

Yoshi’s Artisanal World
The Messenger looks really fun, makes me wish I had a Switch

Looking forward to new Luigi's Mansion and one kid is looking forward to Animal Crossing. No mention of Metroid, among other titles, and the online stuff seems predictably half-assed. Curious what else is coming in 2019.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 14 September 2018 17:38 (five years ago) link
Metroid. early money is on Metroid Prime 4 being a The Game Awards trailer drop.

The online thing is whatever. It’s dumb that they want to tax continued use of their network but if they’d just done so from day 1 with no frills, the NES game library rolling out now would seem like a perk instead of a sop to make people forget they’ve been going online for free for 18 months.

20 bucks a year is pretty reasonable.
― DJI, Friday, 14 September 2018 18:20 (five years ago) link
nintendo's always sucked at online but at least it's cheap relative to the other consoles. i'll pay my 20 bucks to play the occasional smash or splatoon and not think about it too hard
― ciderpress, Friday, 14 September 2018 18:28 (five years ago) link
is the $20 fee required in order to buy/download games online (like ps4's online service)? i'll be really annoyed if that's the case. i own zero physical copies of ps4/switch games, and i really enjoy the option of browsing online and downloading.

you don't have to pay for PS+ to use the PS store, only to play games online
― Nhex, Friday, 14 September 2018 18:37 (five years ago) link
....oops
― Karl Malone, Friday, 14 September 2018 18:38 (five years ago) link
sad lol in my face. i'm not sure why i thought that then, and wish i would have canceled that years ago!
it's generally worth it for both a) the free games every month, which there'll be good ones every so often and b) the extra discounts you get for being a Plus member
― Nhex, Friday, 14 September 2018 18:49 (five years ago) link
Nintendo's service is fairly equivalent to PS+ except the free games are NES games instead of modern games

at 1/3rd of the price i'm ok with that. and i hate adding even more subscriptions to my CC bill

Dipshits on forums hate that there’s no messaging or voice chat or whatever and I am just like Literally Who Cares (not most Nintendo customers)
― faculty w1fe (silby), Friday, 14 September 2018 19:42 (five years ago) link
yeah switch has way more dipshits on board than the past 2 generations of Nintendo systems thanks to it launching with an acclaimed open world game and now they're all learning the difference between Nintendo and other pubs in real time

There is a voicemail e chat feature that works with your phone or something. Right?

yeah the nintendo phone app has voice chat
apparently people are fine with it in japan so thats why they do it that way but like 100% of people here complain about it

"hello I am Britney, I am 21F, I'm really bored and looking to talk to ppl."
I was looking at a Playstation thread and saw some funny stuff with people interacting with sex bots. Don't know if this works, but it was funny:

I’m mildly ecstatic that I will get to finally replay and (this time I promise) finish FF XII in HDAnd the possibility that my kid might learn how to kick ass at Ice Climber without having to break the law, this is important to me in ways most people will never understand

the gambit system is the best battle system in all FF games that are not FF Tactics games

Is Undertale worth it? I know next to nothing about it except people are really cagey about spoilers.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 18 September 2018 20:51 (five years ago) link
it's really good but being a subversion of jrpgs you wont necessarily get a lot out of it if you're not familiar with the genre
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 18 September 2018 21:21 (five years ago) link
JRPG is Japanese roll playing game right? It's not about school girl underwear is it?
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 18 September 2018 22:02 (five years ago) link
like most game genres, female JRPG characters often fight in a combination of underwear and corsets, and heroes are perpetually 15-17 years old
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 18 September 2018 22:10 (five years ago) link
undertale is mostly playing off 8bit/16bit era ones so before we got to that point
if you're familiar with earthbound the tone is pretty similar
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 18 September 2018 22:39 (five years ago) link
I forgot a key point about Undertale when I unreservedly recommended it to my mom: it is actually a top-down schmup

is it possibly to beat the entire game passively?
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 19 September 2018 01:47 (five years ago) link
yes on your 2nd playthrough. after you beat the game normally it challenges you to do that

any of you other doofuses donate $20 to Nintendo because you didn't think about the difference between the year of online service and the year of family online service
― El Tomboto, Thursday, 20 September 2018 19:19 (five years ago) link
i'll just begrudgingly pay my $20 but waiting until the next time i feel like playing something online which could be anytime between now and December
― ciderpress, Thursday, 20 September 2018 19:24 (five years ago) link
I don't really have any online play interest on switch yet but I'm sorta tempted to subscribe for the NES games & then I can teach my son about Bo Jackson in Tecmo Bowl
― droit au butt (Euler), Thursday, 20 September 2018 19:26 (five years ago) link
none of the NES games are big enough selling points to me, just a minor bonus. I've played the good ones plenty already and don't really have nostalgia for that generation of games. i just want to play fighting games online sometimes and insure my stardew valley save file
when they finally get to SNES games that will make it all feel more worthwhile
― ciderpress, Thursday, 20 September 2018 19:37 (five years ago) link
kinda happy that the NES games are just a bunch of roms in an emulator, means they can add them quicker than their old way of building a custom emulator for each game. Not many that I'm interested in playing so far but Adventures Of Lolo is coming soon, love that series. I've fallen down the Monster Hunter hole again, Switch version is like my platonic ideal of the "old style" of MH.

i'll pay by the time smash comes outoh wait, i have mario kart which means i'll probably spring soon

I have a 7 year old and Splatoon 2 so it was basically mandatory that I cough it up on day 1, hence the fuckup and paying 36% more than I should have
― El Tomboto, Thursday, 20 September 2018 23:46 (five years ago) link
get another switch, problem solved
i immediately bought this because i have never finished mario 3 and i can’t think of a more appealing box to play mario 3 on. that said i wish the emulation was less barebones: i want scanlines and bloom, it looks way too clean.
