Re: Russian Nintendo CEO Caught Ranting On Official Live Stream As Management Breaks Down

Farts_Ahoy

I just watched the youtube video and hate to take the side of the devil... But Yasha's anger wasn't totally unfounded. That live stream was completely jacked up...

Yasha (who represents the untech savy fanbase) couldnt find the live stream on their OWN social media... it should definitely be on the front page!!

They lost connection during the final round of the tournament? oh geeze..

Of course... yelling at your people and cursing while representing a family friendly company such as Nintendo is unforgivable... but I get where hes coming from.

Re: Rumour: New Nintendo Switch SKU Planned For Late 2019

Oh man I’d be way down for a revision... more like a DS to DS Lite scenario.

Improvements to the Dock...
1. Charging light
2. Some velvet to ease scratching
3. A redesign so you can dock horizontally, I’d like to put my dock next to my DVD player in the cubby under my tv.

Improvements to the Switch itself..
1. Bluetooth capability, wireless headsets!
2. Front facing speakers
3. Remove the headphone jack from the system and put it in one of the joycons.
4. Better location of the joy on ejection button ( I always press other buttons when trying to remove them)
5. Replaceable battery. We d love to be able to switch out a dead battery with a fresh one while on trips.
6. Cameras. Front and back facing. I loved the 3ds used theirs
7. Microphone built in for FaceTime calls

Re: Poll: As "Gaming Disorder" Becomes A Thing, Is It Time To Assess How Much You Play?

Farts_Ahoy

I play A LOT, it’s the preferred use of my free time. I seriously don’t think video games are any worse than TV or mobile phones.

The real problem is that it’s a sedimentary activity which can consume a lot of time and (for me) is mostly a solitary experience. The girlfriend doesn’t play (and has no interest) and neither does the family, so we do more social activities... ie. watching movies/tv or simply drinking wine and talking.

After writing drinking seems less healthy than gaming... guess it’s just cultural acceptance.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend?

Me and the Bro just finished Kirby Star Allies, Boy if it wasnt co-op. I dont think I could do it... obviously the game wasnt designed for 30 years lol.

But Im on the final stretch for Far Cry 5. An amazing achievement in FPS's if you have a PS4 or Xbox One.

I may start Rime or Subcircular, Ive been holding on to it for a while now!

Re: Soapbox: Nintendo's Switch Plan is Starting to Take Shape

Great video! I completely agree with a lot of your views.

One thing no one has mentioned though... the similarities between the Wii Launch lineup and the Switch!

The Zelda being released on 2 consoles? (Twilight Princess on GC and Wii).

I remember picking up Twilight Princess, Excite Truck, and Red Steel... and then a HUGE drought! Super Mario Strikers Charged coming out 6 months later.

Anyways... I did bite the bullet and pre-order 1-2 Switch. ...Not because I think it looks like a worthwhile gaming experience... I want a cool tech demo to show off my tech. ...wish it was a pack in...

Re: Talking Point: Star Fox Zero's Delay Could Be The Final Nail In The Wii U's Coffin

Farts_Ahoy

What's with all this haterade?

Even without Starfox Zero, The Wii-U still has a very strong holiday line up!

You guys hate it, (I also hate it) but Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival is going to make a killing. The kids are going to be crying for those toys and the collectors/scalpers will be buying them up also.

Mario Tennis is extremely underrated on these forums! I'm a huge fan of the series and cant wait to take a console version online.

Xenoblade Chronicles X is definitely what I'm looking for in a mature title.

Yoshi's Wooly World will be a solid platformer (But yes we should have got it over the summer...wtf?)

Dont disregard the indies as well! Soul Axiom and Typoman look excellent.
