Re: Zelda: Breath of the Wild Champions' Ballad DLC Goes Live

@Savino Conidering this game takes place thousands of years post Ocarina, it's not unbelievable at all. Just because the world is in disarray doesn't mean technology is at a complete standstill. What's weirder to me is why no one else in the entirety of Hyrule has anything like this for themselves. lol

Re: Nintendo Promises More SNES Classic Edition Stock Is On The Way

I'm in Ohio and saw about 12 of them in Walmart last week. Thank god for layaway... I was able to put down $10 to have them hold it for me until today. I've alreafy picked it up and am ready to try it out tonight.

For those of you who want one, it's time to start checking your local stores.

Re: Guide: Give Your Switch's Download Speed a Little Boost by Changing the MTU

@frogopus Hmm... I think you might have solved the mystery at my house here. Even my Wii U has been dropping lately. It still gets a better connection than the Switch, but one thing that has changed, is that my roommates did get a couple of baby monitors, and they are both on the same floor as the router. I'll bet those extra devices are causing a lot of issues with the internet in the house.

@frogopus I'm not sure... I'd have to check when I get home. I'm definitely going to mess with the settings tonight and I'll post here if I find anything that works since I'm sure others are having this problem too...

@RodSD64 Unfortunately the router is on the second floor and I'm on the third. I tried using an ethernet canle to connect the Switch to my signal booster, but that did nothing, lol.

My Wii U and 3DS connect online much more reliably than my Switch, so I'll probably look into this myself and maybe compare the 3 devices to see if I can find out why this is happening.

Does anyone else have any recommendations that would help my Switch connect better? Wii U is literally sitting right next to the Switch. When the Wii U has a full signal the Switch barely gets 1 bar.

The only saving grace is that I can take the Switch out and play online in other rooms. It's just strange that it won't connect in the same room every other device I own can connect in.

@Crashlewis I don't feel the same way honestly. The 3DS is still a lot of fun for me, and is easier to take anywhere due to it's smaller size. Plus it just has tons of games. The Switch is great, but I use it more as my at home console and rarely use it as a portable. Most of it's games just aren't built for on the go gaming either. I could see my perspective changing if I ever get a second Switch for on the go though.

Re: Nintendo Wants Everyone In Your House To Have Their Own Switch

@SLIGEACH_EIRE lmao. It's not about you. Plenty of people will buy more than one. Right now the only problem is that Nintendo is competing with itself in the portable market. Once the 3DS is phased out in a year or two, and we get a price cut and a portable only Switch the console will start to take off even moreso than it already has.

Also the Joycons are awesome. Trust me, I thought they would be garbage too. Once you have them in your hands and use them for a bit though you start to realize how well thought out the design really is.

You're entitled to your opinion of course, but honestly at this point whether you like the console or not you can't deny that the Switch is kind of a big deal for Nintendo. Year one will surpass the Wii U. Year two might even surpass the Gamecube, or at least come close. Nintendo has a good thing going here. If you enjoy their products at all you should be pretty happy, really.

Re: Reggie on GameCube Controller Support on the Switch

Deege

@thesilverbrick Yeah, I saw that article too. I was worried mine wouldn't work but it turned on with no issue. So part of me believes what Reggie said here but... At the same time Nintendo had to know what this update was really doing.

I'm just really hoping this means GC games are on the way, regardless.

Re: Talking Point: An Era Ends As Nintendo Continues to Ignore 3D on the 3DS

Deege

Unfortunatley 90% of the time the 3D effect doesn't work for me. I think I'm in that percentage of people who just can't see it. The only game I played where the 3D worked well for me was Zelda:OoT3D

In almost every other game all I see is a double image. If I mess with the slider and focus really hard I can sometimes get the 3D image, but if I drop my focus it splits into a double image again. It sucks because when I get it to work it looks great...
