Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

Shame used to like this community. Now everyones a snarky sarcastic smartbutt lol.

@WebHead
Use that ignore button and never look back. That’s what I did, and half the time I don’t know what people are complaining about because I can’t see it. It’s wonderful. Life‘s too short to deal with perpetual snarky ridicule

@WebHead For clarity, I was being sarcastic about the reporting, not you bringing it up 😁

What do you guys think is the best Nintnedo Switch case to buy?

I fail to see how stating I can't consider myself much of a gamer these days because I work 6 days a week to the point my heart may be giving out is "Sarcasm" but okay. If that's how we roll now. :shrug:

@GuyWithATV Depends. Some cases have hard exteriors, good for dropping. Some come with carry slots for game cards, some are simple padded cases. Really depends on what you want the case for, protection, or protection and some extra gubbins.

Please insert an eye-roll-inducing statement full of sarcasm here.

I honestly think it’s like a law on the internet that all things eventually progress to a state of constant sarcasm and smugness

Heck, I bought this 4k Smart TV and can't really use it since I walk in and collapse.

But interestingly....Switch doesn't look that bad on it. I guess it auto-scales to the output of whatever device is connected but...I dont get the "It looks bad at 4k/on a big TV" complaint.

Best advice ever! Love missing out on (mostl the whining and snarkiness. Makes the site soo much better

On a different note, I went against my own advice and caved in and preordered re origins collection just now. Usually don't preorder without an incentive of some kind but i figured I REALLY want to play the two games anyway. And if I wait for a sale, it could be in the 2nd half of 2019 when all these games coming to switch are dropping and i wont have time to play them. So oh well, full price but nonetheless ill enjoy some zombie killing 😊

Even with those things in place, the Wii U era was better for Nintendo Life.

Alright alright, I take the hint

I'd say this place never changes, but it has just a little.

@Knuckles-Fajita I honestly don't think they're talking specifically about you.

Though if they are, and like to just nonchalantly talk about ignoring someone right in front of them, then that's quite unsightly of them.

@Knuckles-Fajita I’ve got my Switched hooked to a 65” 4K, and it looks awesome

@NintendoByNature
Ya, I ordered them too. And RE4. A little steep on the price side is something I can deal with. If it’s a game you really want to play, eh... just go for it. At the end of the day it’s just a bit of money. You can always make more of it.

Once Mario Maker 2 drops, it’s gonna herald a pretty consistent stream of quality exclusives on the way. And you can be sure we’ll continue to see quite a few 3rd party ports littered throughout. So we pretty much have a month to enjoy whatever it is we want to play.

@JaxonH exactly. $20 More than i wanted to spend, but I just don't see myself being able to allot time for both of these comes late June with mm2 and bloodstained kicking it off for me. Not to mention, guarantee there will be some e3 discounts that I'll no doubt partake in even knowing I'm packed to the gills with games to play. Lastly, still waiting on cadence of hyrule to drop. Needless to say i need to play re starting Tuesday and quickly.

Pretty much every forum I've ever posted on has some narrative in place among older posters about a mythical time when the community was better/posters were less snarky/etc. It's a pretty universal human tendency to idealize the past.

This is still one of the best gaming communities I've found on the internet.

Between here and PushSquare, I've only ignored a handful of people. 9/10 of them are drive-by trolls in the comment sections of articles.

@NintendoByNature First time playing these Resident Evil games?

That is because the resolution part of 4k is mostly a PR stunt so the makers can sell more TV's. Most living rooms are too far from the TV to get any benefit from the resolution.
4k TV's does do offer other benefits though, so they are not a waste.

Edit: Sony have a handy table on their support site. https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00008601

I never got the "looks bad on a higher res TV" argument. Surely if it's scaled by an integer (e.g. 1080p x 2 = 4k) it can only look the same, or better (1080p to 1440p on the other hand...I can see issues). And I find the Switch looks fantastic on my 4k TV.
