They use Ren'Py on the original release (not sure on switch) but I had a look at the code they use, it is way more complexe than most Ren'Py/Visual Novel you tend to see. The game story is really complexe, there is a lot of branching, and they also do a lot of things that Ren'Py is not supposed to, which is probably why all the struggle. Their game would probably benefit from being converted to a better suited game engine, or its own dedicated game engine.

I don't get, what is so special about these things? I like the switch with the normal joycon, and it is already quite big, what's the point in using these ?

Edit: I'm talking about the "nitro deck". I've been seeing a lot of people talking about these recently

The rest of the map looks fantastic, but this is not how the castle look in LttP

Considering how good BG&E was and with such a nice (and done on purpose) graphic design, I would really prefer the horror they showed as BG&E 2 to never be released.

For a sec when you said PowerPad I though about the NES Advantage, or the MAX Controller.

Well that would be interesting too in some way.

@TheBigK Good luck to revoke access to a Switch cart on a switch that was never connected to the internet.

@antisumo Yeah most likely, but can hope they manage to make it faster, or at least appear faster, because that make teleportation to your base quite annoying when you are in other systems)

Having shorter load time would be nice, jumping between systems either flying to using a teleport take a very long while. Pretty sure it is way way faster on PC.

XC3 Collector edition is still not available to purchase in the UK, I don't get it, the game will be released in what 16 days, about 2 weeks and it is still not up, I know the collector part will be sent later, but what the problem into setting the sale on?

With that Bayo3 collector sold out in less than 1h. Start to really lose my cool there :/

FFS already out of stock on NUK store. I had one in my basket and 10min later, time to get some mobile internet back "out of stock"

I'm mad.

@Mgalens the XCX DLC only exists to speed up loading, they don’t add anything new not already on the disc, you can play it without any download, it’s just that fast travel loading time will be really slow as there are lots of data to read from the disc.

@shoeses There is no real magic that can be done, if it is emulation, they have to provide the whole game, they can't just cut part of it (without doing major changes in each games, and downloading on the fly would me your switch need to be connected to the internet to play gamecube games, or at least download it the first time, and even if the app come with no game downloaded by default, you will have to wait to finish the game download before you can play it, and you'll end with the same problem...

@shoeses There is a really simple reason, GameCube NSO will never happen. One gamecube game is about 1.5GB which is the maximum you can store on a GC disc.

So just having that NSO and 10 GC cames would take about half of the internal storage of a normal switch. (¼ for the OLED as it is double the size)

That would be quickly out of control in term of storage space.

Would love to see back:

• Tales of Phantasia
• Baten Kaitos & the prequel, this game would be a graphical joy remastered in HD
• Would not say no to Tales of Symphonia (really like that RPG on the GameCube)
• Secret of Evermore
• Illusion of Time / Illusion of Gaia
• Terranigma

I really miss the last three I played from back to front on my cartridge back in the day.

I like Ultra Despair Girls, but the Vita has Never been a really great handheld.. It would really merit to be released on the Switch, the vita is too small for the controls and I do get cramp really easily with it.

So yes UDG need to be ported on Switch!

The original game was pretty ok, not sure I would go on good, but I've spend some good time with it, albeit a major issue where the saves were not stored on the cart but on your 3DS SD Card with all the limitation that goes with: cannot be transferred to another 3DS without doing a full system transfer that really annoyed me.

But that "Online" version has always been an insult to the original game.

Why does the Vita version other than a couple of frame drops looks way better than that parody of « definitive edition » ??????

Considering that the new "biome blending" feature (to avoid chunck borders between old world and new world generation) was not really great on the last snapshot, I don't think it will be released that early.

But who knows

@HedgehogEngine

This is untrue. Metroid Dread had no Day1 patch.
It got a patch later because a bug was found, but there were no Day 1 patch.

Not all game get Day1 patch.

They released it for my birthday and thank you Nintendo for that 😇

I love how this set use a lot of creativity to make some recognisable item like the part use to make the green pipe in the Peach Castle garden.

My Good Old Day 1 switch has never seen a screen protector, the fan vent guars are broken, there is a bit of a crack in the bottom, but the screen is in perfect condition. Just use proper case to transport it, don't put it as is in your bag, and you will not have any trouble. I've seen more issues with "screen protectors" than without.

And I'm not going easy with the dock either. I mean I don't try to use as a grit 1 sand stone of course!

20min? That’s definitely not a minor update!

#hype

Sakurai himself obviously!

Though the more I'm thinking about, the more as this is the Ultimate Smash, they need to go ultimate for the last fighter.

I think this will be a smash version of Mr. Potato Head. If you prefer a Draw Your Own Fighter!

I could have ordered a lot of stuff if because there were nothing of value, I would have not lost the thousand of silver coins I had.

On the other hand, the European cover for Megaman is quite good, mixed feeling about MM2 but still better for me than the US MM2.

Even MM3 Europe is better than the US version

Best way to have a small bit of plastic stuck in the headphone jack.

Also I'm pretty sure that the console will switch the audio off from both speakers and HDMI if something is connected, or should I say something is put in the connector (does not need to be metallic) so.. A bit useless no? Unless you don't care playing without sound?

I own Nintendo, got them for a golden ticket in a SNES game box!

A agree with the precise controls, there are time I nearly screwed-up because the cursors/building moved in an unpredictable way and was going to press the A button.

Other than that it is really a good game, and when you see the the price it absolutely kill all discussion about not getting it

@dimi Well yes it is:

https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/subscriptions-billing/manage-subscriptions/xbox-game-pass-mobile-intro

GamePass on other platform that XBox/PC is cloud/streaming

Oh and the "closed platform" Phil is talking about is iOS (iPhone/iPad) not other video gaming consoles.

And it is interesting that they don't consider the Xbox as being a closed platform

I do NOT want any form of cloud based game streaming.

They port the game to run natively or no games. Other than pandemic time I use my switch in way too many situation where I don't have an internet connection or a really flacky one. Also not everyone one have super duper high speed low latency internet connections. There are still people in the world with 128k ADSL connections.

Oh F.

The UK have it in the my Nintendo store, and I use my points on the other one link..

Here is in the UK store: https://store.nintendo.co.uk/en_gb/the-legend-of-zelda-skyward-sword-hd-xl-postcard-set-art-stand-000000000010008340.html

(hopefully I can send in France so I haven't lost my points)

Have you also noticed that the plastic part (the one that connect to the joycon) of both strap thingy are not the same colour?!

> new OLED model only costs Nintendo around $10 more to produce per unit,

I love how analyst get random number from a hat.

The fact that the eMMC is double and there is an OLED screen cannot make the price to be $10 more to produce. But that's also forgetting another thing. Albeit using the same (or similar) components in it, this new Switch is nearly a complet redesign, the joycon rail are different, the shell is different, the stand is different, there is no chance for the PCB to be the same. So it is a complete redesign, and you know what? That's not free, making mold for the injected part, making the blue print to make the metal part and so one, the cost is not $0, nor the cost of the engineers working one the redesign, nor the engineer working on the software and so on. Basing the "margin" only on "hardware cost" is 100% wrong, and all of these analyst know that really well, but they all still do that. I let you guess why.

That Falcowing! <3

Nintendo have nothing to worry about. Most PC gamer, aka people using Steam do not care about such device to play PC games.

Also this thing is not "year ahead" of the Switch. Most (all?) demanding game will not run on that, they will need to be streamed from your high end PC.

This is just another try on the steambox, things that fail quite badly.

Also a really important point. Game made for the Switch, there is only one hardware, so game released for the Switch in 5 years time will run well on Switch sold in 2017.
PC Game released in 5 years time will probably not run well on that device.

Hope they will upgrade the existing pre-orders.

I still order from them, but since they change the warehouse/website and contractors there has been a lot of weird thing happening. I'm not even sure I will receive my SS preorder and the SS Joycons..

Buy the game regardless. Haven't finished it on the Wii, loved it, but lack of time, so hope to be able to finish it here in HD!

No it is just someone who don't know typography and put a capital on new. But they just target people buying a new console. Nothing New.

> Inability to edit in 3D space

Considering how hard it is using normal programming languages, I don't think we can really blame Nintendo on making a tool which is accessible to all, especially considering that block programming tend to be limited because of how it is made.

Can't wait for the video Alex

I love that we were supposed by some super serious "LEAKs" a release on the 3rd june, and pre order today the 4th.

The 4th is near the end here, still nothing.

That rumoured Switch Pro do not exist.

@RupeeClock They move a bit weirdly considering they are supposed to be mechanical, but I think they do reasonably keep their length on that video.

This is a really weird bug, like if the left was attached to the ground for some reason, but also why does the leg stretch like that, something really wrong with physics and skeletons there

@mattesdude This was also a really good programming oriented game!

@nessisonett I loved Wii Music, it was not making real music of course, but it was fun to play and even more fun with friends!

I also enjoyed Art Academy, but sadly we probably will never see it again as it need proper touchscreen with stylus and the one on the Switch is not good for that.. (unless they release a probably expensive drawing tablet accessory..

Weren't we supposed to get FOR SURE BECAUSE X SAID SO a surprise announcement by Nintendo TODAY 03 June 2021?

And yet still nothing?

Hmmmm

@kobashi100 I think he is just trolling, nothing much.

I always found the NES and SNES refresh to be really awful looking.

@Facelord Yup the sWIItch XD

@Samo_Gallego Don't forget, being listed on amazon does not mean it is sold by amazon. it is easy to list anything on the marketplace.
