@rjejr Still an unfair thing to do, and ruins people's experience. The game is not even released yet, so it's not only the user's fault, it's also the retailer that gave him the copy way too early. This is similar to the Switch leak that was actually stolen.
@Shufty Neither am I. The Pokken controller is really limited. Having the GameCube controller functioning like a Pokken controller is a major turn off for me.
@Fred13 Mine is not working at all. I did it all, connected it to all USB ports, used different controllers, tested on all ports, tried on PC and Wii U modes, restarted my Switch and nothing. Am I missing something?
@Rudy_Manchego Sony has the power to expand the market. Nintendo has a monopoly at the moment. Competition is good, so seeing Sony there really made things refreshing. The PSP was am amazing alternative or even a replacement to the DS since it offered something different than what the DS offered. Since they're not good at it, they've dropped out of the handheld market.
@Rudy_Manchego
Smartphones aren't well known for quality games on it. Yeah, there's some good games on the thing, but by looking at the top 10 apps and games on both App Store and Google Play, they're all free to play games. People don't want core games similar to a home console or even a handheld. Besides, PS4 sales are also around 60 million units, still under the PS3 and way below PS2 sales. Does that mean PCs are the main cause of that "low sales"?
@Rudy_Manchego Not really. Smartphones may be growing in popularity, but I wouldn't say it hurts the handheld market. Besides, every Nintendo handheld sold better than the previous one until the 3DS. The Switch is already set in motion to outsell the DS. The handheld market is still there, just need to make careful decisions and make people happy. Sony did the complete opposite and blames the smartphone boom.
Their excuse is just baffling. Smartphones are not the main reason why Vita failed. It's THEIR fault. Vita had a ton of potential, but was mistreated and poorly executed.
Using smartphones as an excuse is just pathetic. The same could be said for the 3DS and look how successful the thing is.
Clearly the one on the cover is using the modern logo.
Update:
Yes, the Rating Pending logo is the exact one used from 2000-2003. The RP rating was introduced in 2000. The cancelled Star Fox game on Virtual Boy is obviously from the mid 90s.
Physical games are more like passes to download the game. Defeats the entire purpose. This kind of practice on other systems is also terrible and making game preservation harder than ever.
In 10 or 20 years from now, PS4 or One emulators will be useless because games required downloaded data but the servers would be shut down by then, so the additional data cannot be downloaded thus making the game unplayable. I don't want the Switch to go the same way.
They may look cool, but it's not necessary. You can get the exact same thing for a lower price without the Nintendo brand on it.
But like others stated, maybe it's for those who are (still) clueless about SD cards and compatibility. So it's good to take advantage of people's lack of knowledge on technology.
The game is really underrated. People just expected it to be Prime 4 or something major. As the name implied, it's a spin-off and not a main entry game.
@UmbreonsPapa
Still, the game just looks bland and just another way to cash grab. I had high expectations for Sun and Moon, but it disappointment me. Wasn't as good as X and Y. I'll definitely pass on US and UM and just wait for the better Switch instalments. After all, they will be the first main entry game to be on a home console, so it deserves better expectations.
Well, at least the Smash controller app is free now. Sometimes I'll forget my Smash game and/or GameCube controller when going out to tourneys... But that's rare though since I always play Smash and bring a wired controller to a tournament...
The only game that I know allows for one handed play is Puyo Puyo Tetris. But it's nice to see people with disabilities can have a chance to play video games.
I enjoy doing achievements once in a while, but I'm not trying to unlock them all the time. Heck, even ignoring them completely helped me unlock achievements without trying.
At Games. Stay far away from them. Their consoles are so crap. Wireless controllers barely work, the cartridge slot can potentially damage cartridges, and the sound is just terrible.
@Yasaal There is a legitimate reason why Melee won't be at Evo Japan: Melee is pretty much dead in Japan. Everyone has already moved on to the next Smash game with the exception of few like Amsa for example.
You don't have to use the Japanese account to use the app. You can also use your American or European account by changing the region setting in the app. But that won't change the language unfortunately.
The video might have gave me cancer. Almost everything what he said is completely ignorant and flat out factually wrong. The Switch having 2 gigs of RAM? Is he joking or making it up? Clearly never seen the system at all.
Criticising about Nintendo using cartridges instead of discs on a HANDHELD? Yeah because the PSP using the UMD is a great a idea, right?
The guy has literally no clue about the Switch and everything else what he said is flat out wrong. The only actual fact he explained is Nintendo's lack of 3rd parties. He's right about that, but everything else is just ugh. The guy is an idiot.

No, the adapter was only made for Smash Wii U. The Mayflash adapter can be used on PC to play some PC games or emulators.

Updating the adapter will make the controller to function like a Pokken controller, not entirely useful for most games.

Re: Random: Someone Claims to Have Unearthed Star Fox: Red Zone Virtual Boy Assets
The ESRB logo is what makes me think it's fake. Didn't the ESRB ratings look different in its first years?
These are the old logos:

At least better than nothing.
