Re: Star Wars Episode I: Racer Is Getting Remade On Switch

Claytonbob

I broke this one out about a year ago on N64 as I wanted to share it with my kids. The graphics are horrendous. I remember enjoying it, but it was a bit shallow. I'm excited to see it remade. Hopefully it will look much better and have more depth. Good announcement.

Re: Angry Players Are Starting To Review-Bomb Animal Crossing: New Horizons

I’m enjoying it but have some of the same frustrations. For example. I setup the island. One day I met a ghost. Then my daughter joined in and was the leader. It would not let her catch the spirits. I had to. Then she got them from the box and it wouldn’t let her speak to the ghost. She also could not drop the spirits so I had to take the lead, catch 5 more spirits, then talk to the ghost. I have her the gift he gave. But it wasn’t much fun for her and quite frustrating.

I bought Doom 2016 on XBox because it was like $10. I now wish I had it on Switch. I bought Resident Evil 4 last week on Switch and am enjoying it immensely. Happy I didn’t buy the Xbox version. Put in some headphones, sit on the couch, have the screen a foot from your face. That’s way more immersion than on my 60” TV 10 feet away turned down to not wake the baby. Switch all the way. Plus I love the profiles on it. My kids understand it and use their profiles. I have no idea how the XBox profiles work and still can’t get It to let my kids play Battlefront 2. So they just play as me.

Re: Birdo Joins Mario Kart Tour's Holiday Event As A Playable Character

I let my gold pass expire yesterday. I don’t have all the gatcha characters but do have all the others. Have most of the karts and gliders also. So my gold is just piling up with nothing to buy. They just repeat the same unlock characters, like Peachette. You can’t get in the top 5 without having this weeks gatcha. It’s mostly lost my interest.

Re: Feature: Nintendo Hardware Refreshes Through The Ages

Claytonbob

I wanted to vote for the DS Lite and the Advance SP. both far superior to the original models.
I also had the NES 101, ice blue N64, and jungle green N64 as well as the New 3DS XL.
I get all consoles immediately on release but the hand helds I tend to hang off until a revision comes out.

Re: Poll: Have You Ever Had Problems With Nintendo Hardware?

Claytonbob

Both my left Joycons drift. Nintendo has already fixed the antennas in both. My game boy, one N64 and original NES eventually died but lasted a long time.

My SNES, 2nd N64, GBA, DS, 3DS, Wii, and Wii U work great.

Recently the back of my Switch popped open at the top. The plastic around that tiny screw in the middle broke. Maybe my kids dropped it or sat on It. So I’m not sure if it’s a defect or not.

Re: It Looks Like Super Mario Maker 2 Will Include Same-Screen Multiplayer

Claytonbob

They should be clearer about this. That should have been a main selling point to support their slogan of play anywhere, anytime with anyone.

If I had known Splatoon 2 didn’t support local multiplayer I would never have purchased it. I didn’t check because, why wouldn’t it? The main desire was to play against my kids. Yes it’s fun to play strangers online but I was hoping it could be a family experience.

Re: Talking Point: Could Nintendo Ditch Physical Media With A 'Switch Lite?'

Claytonbob

So I voted no and a year ago I would have been upset to even have this conversation but a lot has changed in that year. We now have broadband rather than dial up, Amazon stopped giving the Prime discount, I bought a 400GB micro SD for $60 that was $250 a year ago, and finally I have young kids that play it more than I do and I was not happy one night crawling under a bed looking for the Breath of the Wild cartridge. I’m really leaning toward all digital on future game purchases. I voted no however because there are still people who prefer physical and may still not have broadband (yes there are people outside the cities). Besides I doubt the chip reader costs that much to manufacture as opposed to the Xbox disk reader.
