Wait, how does it work with Switch AND Steam Deck? Switch has USB-C on the bottom, Steam Deck's is on the top...but in both cases, the fans/vents are on the top so you can't just put one in upside-down.
So sad, an end of an era as I really cannot imagine these characters with any other voice! I hope he recorded for Wonder so we get one last game with him...
I used to have a MegaJoy all-in-one-controller-emulator that hooked up to the TV and had various ROM hacks among all the NES roms, one of which started you here and it always confused us to no end.
That the physics are wrong makes the SNES versions all terrible when compared to NES, because changes in music and art are fine if the gameplay remains the same...which it does not
Seemingly anyone who already owns the original version on Switch will somehow get this version for free, but they haven't announced how that works yet...either way, excited!
It's absurd that signing a 10-year agreement should be enough to justify the merger when they could just start being anti-competitive after 10 years. I think we've all seen what happens when a gaming company gets too big ::cough:: EA ::cough::
How could they accept an 10-year deal when obviously they'll still own the company in 10 years and THEN can just start being jerks and making everything exclusive anyway?
This happens in a few games, makes me think the dev kits are clocked higher than our retail units, so when testing they don't see any of the issues until after release and then have to go back and patch up performance. Perhaps Nintendo can just push out a performance patch for the OS so that games that need it can trigger the higher clock speed?
I might be the only person who preordered a Switch and BOTW and now am feeling kinda uninterested in this sequel...wake me when there's a new 2D Zelda, because the Link's Awakening remake and Link Between Worlds have been my last two favorite Zelda titles...
I'm voting for the NA cover since it better-represents the art style of this game, while the other is more hinting that they wished they could have done Yarn/Crafted-style games sooner.
Glad they're remembering the great Figment, who was cut from his own ride for a little while there before returning when they redid it a 3rd time. Now I hope they bring back the Imagination song too!
Not having coop in the main game is a deal-breaker, but also, why not offer 4 characters and have Batgirl too? Then they'd have two men and two women as playable characters! If they fix performance and added Batgirl I might consider it since our daughter is very into Batgirl...
Nintendo should totally copy this concept and make their own where it's a little clearer where the raceway is, but otherwise this is a great idea for a track that drives you through most areas of the game!
So I had a lot of fun with the 3DS themes and set my favorite 10 in a rotation so each time I start up, it's a new theme and song playing in the background.
Either the DS or 3DS for the wireless multiplayer, I'd play Mario Kart DS with my wife on our two DSes as well as with anyone else I encountered with the DS at that time. The 3DS might win out for the Street Pass functionality that lead to me carrying it everywhere and playing all the minigames associated with that too.
What I don't get is why they didn't simply use Unreal Engine, which could have made the presentation infinitely nicer looking without too much customization or effort... I tossed this on my wishlist, but it'd have to drop a lot before I'll be tempted.
Why is there not multiplayer on this, I really wanted to buy it to play with my daughter who is obsessed with Batgirl...but I guess this isn't the title for that...
I still have the Nyko Wireless Sensor Bar, which is battery operated and works better than the wired Wii one, longer range, and can sit in a drawer until I need it...this is amusing though if you have two right joy-cons handy.
This game has aged fine, in fact, it looks WAY better than it ever did on N64, but the real star of the show was playing multiplayer with 3 other friends, that's where we all spent hours playing Goldeneye, not single player. I always wished I could jump and wasn't restricted to wheelchair mode though.
Turok had the best setup with movement on the C-buttons and looking/aiming with the left stick (which, yes, is an option in Goldeneye too), somehow that's the only controller FPS configuration that makes any sense to me, with keyboard+mouse being obv superior.
It almost needs to be a hybrid system, and would LOVE there to be cross-compatibility with Switch games and digital purchases, then it'd be a no-brainer upgrade for everyone who still enjoys their Switch...but having 4K, higher res screen, lighter or better battery life, better controls, etc. But I do like the current design and removable joycons for multiplayer as well as ability to play on the subway or docked at home, so it'd be a hard sell to give up on any of that...

Re: Batman Arkham Trilogy For Switch Only Includes One Title On The Game Cartridge
At least it sounds like the games run NATIVELY and won't need an internet connection to stream the gameplay...right?
Re: Random: People Are Convinced Charles Martinet Isn't In Super Mario Bros. Wonder
Sounds like him to me...but has reality ever stopped internet trolls?
Re: Princess Peach Will Star In Her Own Game On Switch In 2024
Considering how great and unappreciated Super Princess Peach was on DS, I'm all for another Peach side-scroller adventure!

Re: Don't Expect To See Future Super Mario Games On Mobile, Suggests Miyamoto
That's fine, console games should be their priority, but it's a shame since Mario Run is basically the best mobile game Nintendo managed to release.

Nice IBM Model-M keyboard he's using there too, though this title looks a bit chaotic for my taste, maybe it makes more sense while playing

Re: Soapbox: Switch Is Great, But The GBA SP Was The Pinnacle Of Public Transport Gaming
Either the DS or 3DS for the wireless multiplayer, I'd play Mario Kart DS with my wife on our two DSes as well as with anyone else I encountered with the DS at that time.
