Braok

LET'S FREAKING GOOOOOO

@SalvorHardin Most? Not sure about that... I wish it were most, but most still force blurry scaling.

@MarcelM It was confirmed to run at 30FPS months ago, although I of course hope the frame pacing is better than 2016.
It definitely looked a little blurry in the trailer, but not too bad. It definitely would look better if you're not sitting a meter away from a 55 inch TV lol

@RupeeClock Sony TVs support integer scaling. Quite ironic that they achieve the greatest upscaling in the business by literally using the most basic possible method.

It's a shame we're never getting the 3DS version, but I'm not complaining. I guess it's time to get back into Ace Attorney uwu

@Jayvir you are missing out on so much dude

@Tyranexx Honestly, I don't recommend playing Future Connected. All of my friends who've played it have said it's mid, and the writing is honestly pretty stilted compared to Xenoblade 1. Maybe it's just the localization, doesn't really matter, in my opinion. My suggestion is to jump straight into Xenoblade 2. I hear Torna: The Golden Country is an absolute banger, but I have many other games in my backlog and would rather wait for the Switch Pro to finally play it like I intended to when it released.

@TheWingedAvenger brainrot play xenoblade chronicles

@MysteryCupofJoe Oh yeah, I definitely get it. Diamond was the first video game I ever owned, so I remember it very fondly even when everyone agrees that Diamond and Pearl were horribly slow. It influenced so many aspects about me, from the games I play to the music I like.
Platinum is fantastic, though. Say what you will, I absolutely consider Pokémon Platinum a modern classic, up there with The World Ends With You, Xenoblade and Persona 4. I still replay Gen 4 every year or so, and almost every single time it's been Platinum. I have hope that the remakes will live up to the originals, though considering the musical direction Sword and Shield took, it isn't very likely.

@Ulysses i definitely agree there. the games aren't very good imo but everything surrounding it is the best it's ever been

@ZeldaNX red and blue are mid and super easy lol your nostalgia goggles are clouding it because honestly gen 1 is somehow WORSE than sword and shield

@Shulkalot Nah, it really ain't that different. A wider variety, sure, but the mast vajority of Nintendo fans are still just screaming about BOTW 2 and how the world would be better without anime swordfighters. How is playing 3 games any different from playing 2?

@The_Legged_One Powerful FPGAs are super pricey. This honestly seems quite reasonable.

@JR150 I guess the arts are fine, but visions are really what bother me. Imagine if when Shulk gets hit by a KO move there's a large chance that time will rewind by 1-2 seconds (depends on the move, no point receiving a vision for an inescapable throw so it would go back to before the grab).

@JR150 Really, I'm sure P5R will come to Switch sometime next year, but Joker's inclusion and announcement was mostly to sell the fighter's pass. There wasn't a soul who didn't know of Persona 5 in December 2018, so of course it makes sense. Most of the first FP is fanservice, not there to advertise a game but rather to sell the DLC to Smash fans (aside from Byleth, we saw how that went...).

If TF2 were more relevant, it would be a strong candidate I'm sure (though being a PC game limits that quite a bit outside of a massive game like LoL).

@nessisonett Recall would be interesting, sure, but maybe if Shulk was actually a faithful, well-designed fighter we'd already have a somewhat similar mechanic. But of course, instead of making major changes to Shulk, they changed his Final Smash to spoil Xenoblade.
🙄

@KoopaTheGamer Again, this is why you should leave it face-down. The screen will get hot but it's not like it doesn't in the dock anyway (you might notice it gets so toasty you can see the pixel grid clearly for 30 seconds after undocking).

@KoopaTheGamer Heat is only really an issue with the Switch GPU overclocked to 921mhz. You'll be fine if you haven't modded your Switch, just make sure to set it face down when docked so there's adequate ventilation. The dock does NOT help with thermal performance in the slightest, there are no heatsinks in there. The holes are just there to let heat out somewhere because otherwise the lower half of the console might get rather toasty.

@Friendly I haven't played Skyrim but that was actually pretty damn clever. I guess my memory of certain aspects of BOTW is waning.

@Friendly >implying botw has good ai

@Apportal no one cares bro let us be hype in peace

wowee muh stability

I'd guess that PC and Xbox permit a more stable framerate with more efficient compression algorithms, whereas less advanced compression was used on Switch, resulting in a larger filesize. Not sure where that would be though.

Good. Go play Xenoblade Definitive Edition when it launches on May 29th exclusively for Nintendo Switch.

@Cevil are u ok bro

@Heavyarms55 personally i don't think open-world is really the right direction for pokémon (also xbx is the only one i'd really even call open-world aside from botw) but they could still benefit immensely from monolith's world design and their ability to craft them with incredible restrictions on both staff and budget
game freak needs to outsource more of their development if the pokémon company is gonna keep asking for yearly releases.

@KingBowser bruh

NO ***** NEIGHBORS
NO SNITCH NEIGHBORS
NO TWITCH NEIGHBORS
AND NOW
NO FAKE SWITCH NEIGHBORS!!!

@bLiNdSiDe82 NO WHY DID YOU MAKE ME SEE THAT BROOO

@bLiNdSiDe82 Petsmart bought the domain, he has nothing to do with it anymore. The original pets.com shut down in 2000.

ok das cool but why she dressed as makoto persona 5

@tobibra Nah the translation is great actually afaik

@Heavyarms55 He might've been in on it, but ultimately he has no say in that. He was just doing his job, whether he agreed with it or he didn't. Same at Retro Studios. Even if he wants to lock them, if I had to be honest, I don't think Nintendo would let that fly. They know that microtransactions wouldn't be accepted by their community.

@erv probably not unfortunately, hdr support would be awesome tho

@Heavyarms55 My dude. Do you think the art director is the dude who locked those skins behind a paywall? For that matter, do you think they even designed the skins specifically?

@DrDaisy they are literally an artist they're not making any business decisions what are you on

@GetShulked but ofc we'll probably be waiting until 2021 for gamecube

@thewingedavenger First, plenty of people love 3D, myself included. Most cinemas make the picture quality suffer, but for films which are designed for it, it looks fantastic. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse needs to be seen in 3D, IMO. I'm so glad I decided to watch it in 3D, and I wish I could recreate that experience just once more.
Second, it's obvious you have never actually tried virtual reality; with modern implementations, it really doesn't make you dizzy. There's a reason that high framerates are pushed, though I don't quite think it's there yet. I'm waiting for mainstream HMDs to have HDR before I purchase my own system (ATM it generates an unsafe amount of heat).
VR is incredible, it just needs a while to hit its true potential. Maybe one day it'll be able to interact with our unconscious mind, allowing for true 1-1 immersion, but for now I'll wait.
It's not a "useless gimmick", though, I guarantee you. This phrase is quite overused nowadays, but I think this is the perfect time.

OK boomer.

@HeroponRiki They really aren't the same game at all. Platinum improves so much; let's just start with the fact that Diamond and Pearl are horribly unoptimized for the DS, resulting in a crappy framerate, slow battles, in addition to the game generally just running slowly by design (compare the surf speed in Diamond & Pearl to Platinum and you'll see what I mean).
Platinum also improves the pacing of the game from a story standpoint, not just mechanically. The best example of this is Fantina being moved from the 5th(?) gym to the 3rd. It goes a long way to make the game more enjoyable. The graphical improvements are numerous as well, along with all the improvements to Wi-Fi which are unfortunately inaccessible today (though connecting to an unofficial server is trivial, the game requires a low-security network). The Battle Frontier also brought many hours of new content.

@popey1980 They're still quite popular here in Spain. Also I might be buggin but their rewards program is pretty fair from what I remember

@popey1980 They're still quite big here in Spain. Their rewards or w.e are pretty decent too IIRC I might be buggin tho

@Doktor-Mandrake Don't worry about ROM sites and preservation; when it comes to ROMs we're fine. Any place Nintendo takes down isn't ultimately important, and just makes general piracy a bit more difficult. It won't affect preservation.
Something like the recent closure of the FFShrine forums is far worse. Regardless of your stance on music piracy, there was a lot of content there that simply isn't available anywhere else, both community works (eg. gamerips) and published albums that aren't available legally anymore. Most of the old content on the website was archived but a lot was still lost.

@rjc-32 Facts! Funnily enough, all the visual issues in Xenoblade 2 in handheld mode that are common complaints are a non-issue with a modded config file. The game looks better in handheld mode than docked with a modded system, to be honest.

I hope such measures aren't needed for Xenoblade: Definitive Edition.

honestly if your budget is high just get a laptop with an identical panel and a capture card. otherwise is there really a point (btw if anyone is using this, if you get an elgato card use amarectv as your viewer. 3.10 is fine but definitely try to get v4 working if you can read katakana at least, blackmagic is better with something called ptbi iirc)

@Anti-Matter You literally bought Race With Ryan bruh wyd talkin about character designs

weeb

literally 1/12 of japan owns a switch holy heck

Honestly the Sword and Shield soundtrack has a lot of bangers (like many others have said, the gym battle and Marnie's theme really stand out). But the generic battle themes are what kill the soundtrack IMO. Just noise. They're all over the place, especially the trainer battle theme. Plus, the reprisal of the Pokémon overture in the battle theme makes no sense to me... makes it sound like a final battle theme for a moment.

that is some grade-a bs; even if it did access it, nobody would be getting bricked already. not to mention my sd card would probably be dead since im usually running my switch off emunand... terrible bait.

@WillTheLion i mean there's no point anymore since emummc is a thing lol

i mean chinchou is literally chonchii so
