Boy I'd kill for a good Switch Warioware game
― Piven After Midnight (The Yellow Kid), Sunday, 20 September 2020 18:17 (three years ago) link
Josh, just go buy like a dozen back catalog titles on PSN to tide you over for the cost of two Switch games. Nobody can be a sole-Nintendo owner since the Wii days. Especially not that the Switch has replaced the DS line
― Nhex, Sunday, 20 September 2020 18:47 (three years ago) link
It's just that we already owned those Wii/Wii U games but I never played them! Or: finished them. I think I passed on 3D World given how dire I found the revamped 2D Marios, but I've Been Told it's amazing so here goes...

Heh, my PS4 backlog will already likely last me well into the life of the PS5, let alone whatever Nintendo does next.

if anyone wants to go to hell,
Hades (from Supergiant, maker of Pyre, Bastion, Transistor)

I'll get to it after I play Transistor and Pyre...
― Nhex, Monday, 21 September 2020 18:22 (three years ago) link
i've never played transistor, i need to check that one out! i loved pyre (put it in my coint and plick) but i have already put about twice as much time into Hades, it is a ridiculously addicting game
― Karl Malone, Monday, 21 September 2020 18:27 (three years ago) link
transistor has a cool combat system but it doesn't ramp up enough, once you get the hang of it all the encounters are kinda samey even for a 4-5 hour game or however long it is

As someone who’s new(ish) to modern gaming, I will never understand this weird depressive strand of fan entitlement

very late to this but i don’t agree that being annoyed by a lazy emulation of three games at full price is ‘entitlement’. the spyro three-game bumper pack was a full rebuild and cost less. 3d all stars is as cynical as it gets.
― THE LEFT (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 24 September 2020 04:00 (three years ago) link
We'll never know if 3D all stars would have been different if it was not created in a remote working forced pandemic, or if they had had more time and not had to tie it to the 35th Anniversary.
I like to think that mario64 is such a swiss watch, that adding things like adding luigi would have plain broke sections of it, unless Luigi was the same size/weight and mass as Mario.
they were doomed whatever they did, but given the circumstances, I'll accept it as better than nothing. (except for that limited availability s**t)

Also Super Mario Sunshine is considerably better than the first Spyro, and that's the worst against the best.
― Andrew Farrell, Thursday, 24 September 2020 11:54 (three years ago) link
GameCube controller support on Sunshine would have been nice and easy.
― DJI, Thursday, 24 September 2020 14:45 (three years ago) link
i have bought the marios and can report back that n64 mario is the best mario of the 3, the most pure mario, also the spray backpack is a huge bummer its an anti mario device mario is intended to run and jump and be free instead there is the fiddly shooting thing and many of his jumps have been taken away in favor of spray controls, galaxy is cool with the variety of planets but also maybe too many planets and too small constantly cresting a planet instead of being on flat ground is perhaps also an anti mario form and the lil star bits are dumb too much busy work
― lag∞n, Thursday, 24 September 2020 14:52 (three years ago) link
i have not played super mario 3d world or super mario galaxy 2 and i would like to in order to have complete 3d mario knowledge
― lag∞n, Thursday, 24 September 2020 14:55 (three years ago) link
Also is that Kirby thing just a stripped down Smash Bros or what?
― DJI, Thursday, 24 September 2020 15:02 (three years ago) link
i think its just a kirby platform fighter yeah. small scope multiplayer/party game
― ciderpress, Thursday, 24 September 2020 15:04 (three years ago) link
It looks like when Capcom would just make endless SF clones with the CPS engine. Like they barely even changed Smash Bros Ultimate, and all the characters are Kirby!

they did this 16 years ago, which had updated graphics and even a playable luigi.
or if they had had more time and not had to tie it to the 35th Anniversary.
yeah, i do wonder if they saw people saying ‘mario’s 35th this year! they’re going to update mario 64!’ and shat themselves and dumped this emulation collection at the last minute. it would also explain why galaxy 2 got left off.
― THE LEFT (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 25 September 2020 03:02 (three years ago) link
I suspect that has at least some truth to it. Also possible, they would've split it into two collections for more money
― Nhex, Friday, 25 September 2020 04:39 (three years ago) link
i would have paid 60 bucks for galaxy 1&2 but not just one
― ciderpress, Friday, 25 September 2020 05:18 (three years ago) link
lagoon's reviews pretty much line up with my own, down to the planets on galaxy 1 being too small (often, at least. i think. it's been a while)
galaxy 2 ruled
― Karl Malone, Friday, 25 September 2020 05:49 (three years ago) link
the small planet physics of galaxy 1 seemed like a sub-level from another recent 3D mario, but blown up into every stage

Oh shit, the second Ori is now out on Switch?! When did that happen?!
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 26 September 2020 23:35 (three years ago) link
it was in the same direct as the monster hunter announcements a couple weeks ago
― ciderpress, Saturday, 26 September 2020 23:43 (three years ago) link
Looks lovely
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Sunday, 27 September 2020 00:15 (three years ago) link
First game was an absolute joy and totally gorgeous. The new one I understand to be more of the same, and then some. I'm considering pulling the full-price trigger (which is of course half that of your typical Nintendo title).
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 27 September 2020 02:51 (three years ago) link
I have trouble keeping up with this stuff, and tbh Digital Foundry often gets stuck in the weeds, but I thought this was fascinating, how they were able to get this painterly Xbox game running on the Switch at all:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kH6wTpIObxE
Sounds like the Switch needs a few patches, from what I've read, but the developers are on it. Seems like an example of how well a port can be done if the original devs (with all their understanding of every last detail) do it.
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 27 September 2020 13:39 (three years ago) link
(60fps is nearly everywhere) but you may notice a dip into the upper 50s from time to time
Voiceover: you will not
― Andrew Farrell, Sunday, 27 September 2020 14:07 (three years ago) link
Yeah, seriously. In this case, issue seems to be intermittent crashes.
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 27 September 2020 14:09 (three years ago) link
looks gorgeous; please post when it's appropriately patched so i can buy?
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Sunday, 27 September 2020 23:01 (three years ago) link
They seem to be working hard at it. For what it's worth, not everybody on Switch has been reporting problems, and even the PC and Xbox release had their need for patches. So I bet it will be fixed sooner rather than later. But I will report ASAP!

Left joycon is fucked so returned it to Nintendo for repair/replacement, I should really look into setting it up on my TV but it seems like effort, c/d?
― seumas milm (gyac), Tuesday, 29 September 2020 11:06 (three years ago) link
joycons being shite is why i almost exclusively play on the tv with a 8bitdo pad
docked switch: classic
― chihuahuau, Tuesday, 29 September 2020 11:34 (three years ago) link
I managed to reduce my left joycon's drift by 95% with some compressed air and q-tips dipped in isopropyl alcohol
― trapped out the barndo (crüt), Tuesday, 29 September 2020 13:35 (three years ago) link
i got lucky with my left joycon i guess
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 29 September 2020 13:45 (three years ago) link
Finally starting getting drift with Animal Crossing this year. If it gets really bad I'll probably just finally give in and buy the Pro Controller, or one of them 8bitdos.
― Nhex, Tuesday, 29 September 2020 13:47 (three years ago) link
xps to crüt yeah I tried this but no luck, was moving involuntarily by the time I sent the thing off
― seumas milm (gyac), Tuesday, 29 September 2020 13:52 (three years ago) link
pro controller is great and totally worth it btw; it should really ship with the system.

Pro Controller is one thing imo that Nintendo truly does better than everyone else. That battery is a work of wonder.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 29 September 2020 14:30 (three years ago) link
they used leftover 3ds batteries in it so it has insane battery life

Should I buy my daughter Zelda so I can play in on her Switch? not like she ever uses it anyway
