the mythical "switch pro" turns out to just be a revision of the base switch with longer battery life
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 17 July 2019 13:09 (four years ago) link
that's good - it needs a longer battery life
― Mordy, Wednesday, 17 July 2019 14:14 (four years ago) link
stealth upgrade without a separate model? interesting, not very Nintendo-like
― Nhex, Wednesday, 17 July 2019 15:58 (four years ago) link
they changed the box and added -001 to the model number, it's not a stealth upgrade
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 17 July 2019 16:11 (four years ago) link
Can anybody vouch for Dragon Quest Builders 2 on Switch? I'm on the fence; I played through the demo and enjoyed it, but the choppy frame rate put me off a little. The PS4 version isn't an option for me.

I want to get a Switch! Possibly going to look for s/h though to keep costs down. I don't know much about the machine at all other than I'm intrigued by some of the indie games like Baba Is You, and also I'd like a really good RPG to play so as to fill the Chrono Trigger-sized hole in my life.Is there anything I need to watch out for if buying s/h? Any features or pitfalls? Are they all more or less the same?
― frame casual (dog latin), Monday, 22 July 2019 14:08 (four years ago) link
a new model with longer battery life just dropped. so weigh that against any s/h discount. Would also play it with joycons detached to check for signal or drift issues.
― Cecil replies to your e-mails (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 22 July 2019 14:12 (four years ago) link
the newer model doesn't have detachable joycons or TV output, and the screen is a tad smaller, but it's $100 cheaper and has much better battery life, so tradeoffs
― Nhex, Monday, 22 July 2019 14:23 (four years ago) link
by TV output, you mean you can't plug it into a TV?
― frame casual (dog latin), Monday, 22 July 2019 14:28 (four years ago) link
also, will it matter that my telly is from like 2005
you're talking about two different "new models." the new "nintendo switch" has longer battery life, the new "switch lite" is the one nhex is talking about.
― na (NA), Monday, 22 July 2019 14:30 (four years ago) link
How very confusing. So the Switch Lite is just handheld I take it; like a Game Gear. The new Switch has better batteries and stuff.
― frame casual (dog latin), Monday, 22 July 2019 14:57 (four years ago) link
I\'m not sure I GAF about batteries really - I'd mostly be playing it at home.
― frame casual (dog latin), Monday, 22 July 2019 15:01 (four years ago) link
the better battery one will be out in September it's identical to the current one otherwise
― ciderpress, Monday, 22 July 2019 15:03 (four years ago) link
it's not a new model they're just updating the current one
― ciderpress, Monday, 22 July 2019 15:04 (four years ago) link
maybe make a general FE thread instead of a specific FE16 thread since we don't really have one already
― ciderpress, Monday, 22 July 2019 18:38 (four years ago) link
that'd be cool. i'm planning on jumping in on this Fire Emblem when it comes out. never played any of the others!
― Karl Malone, Monday, 22 July 2019 18:39 (four years ago) link
i've played the first 5-10 hours of a few but never finished any
― ciderpress, Monday, 22 July 2019 18:40 (four years ago) link
xps re your telly - as long as it has HDMI input, you'll be fine.
― groovypanda, Monday, 22 July 2019 19:18 (four years ago) link
right - definitely wait until September for the updated Switch with better battery life
― Nhex, Monday, 22 July 2019 21:28 (four years ago) link
Thanks for the help everyone. Maybe Sept is a good time to wait for. Cooler days, plus my birthday coming up so it could be a present to myself
― frame casual (dog latin), Tuesday, 23 July 2019 08:08 (four years ago) link
Tbh, while the majority of my (modest) play has been docked, I've never hit a point where my gameplay was seriously hindered by the current battery life. I've had bigger issues with joy con drift and frame lag.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 23 July 2019 14:41 (four years ago) link
Most of my play is handheld and it's never been an issue. Lasts around 4 hours so it's not really a problem as am mainly playing in the house anyway.
― groovypanda, Tuesday, 23 July 2019 20:05 (four years ago) link
same
― ||||||||, Tuesday, 23 July 2019 20:11 (four years ago) link
opposite: i mostly play on TV, whenever i'm too lazy to do that I ended draining the battery within 3-4 hours as expected
― Nhex, Wednesday, 24 July 2019 04:22 (four years ago) link

An announcement of Silksong would rock my world today. I never totally finished Hollow Knight, not beyond the first ending yet, but I've had this weird desire to play it again from the beginning, I loved it so much.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 19 August 2019 12:08 (four years ago) link
Roki looks cool, so does Youropa and Touryst. And Ori.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 19 August 2019 13:24 (four years ago) link
oh touryst is a new shin'en game, that gets my attention
― ciderpress, Monday, 19 August 2019 14:26 (four years ago) link
eastward was also on my radar a while back good to see it still exists

Waited for ages for the physical release of the Cartoon Network RPG double pack of Steven Universe: Save the Light and OK KO: Let's Play Heroes to come out, didn't get around to it until now. It's a fun thing, but 90% of it is out of fan service. If you love the shows like I do 100% worthwhile, if you don't I'm not sure.
― Nhex, Wednesday, 21 August 2019 06:37 (four years ago) link
i am on that dragon quest builders 2. animal crossing x minecraft x dq
― adam, Wednesday, 21 August 2019 13:34 (four years ago) link
sent my joycon in for drift repair and it's taking so long that i'm considering ordering a cheap-o controller on amazon so i don't have to go three weeks without the switch
