I feel these NES, and Super NES games will be featured as part of the online service. I think they will even have a similar lay out/ nice menu. NO BRAINER. I think we will see Virtual Console as well. Its just growing pains for folks who got in early. Heck I don't even play mine lately. Waiting for Splatoon. I knew 2018 was the year to get in, but I just couldn't wait. What I hope to see is a comeback of Virtual Arcade.
If it's for the fans it would be great if this was a "My Nintendo" exclusive. That would rectify a lot it would make "My Nintendo" great, and it would help keep the scalping down some.
This will probably be a simultaneous release date East and West. Makes no sense not too. I would love to see a remastered MH4 for the switch. That would be beyond awesome even with a bazillion hours on it I'd still buy that one.
No one would give two about one if it wasn't rare, and they owned it for a year. Just a small niche like Reggie thought would be interested. People see the money being made, and the value they are more into the monetary value of it. MONEY. Nintendo is smart enough to see this.
I like the looks of the interior and form factor of the new 2ds compared to my new 3ds. One thing I see in the comparison chart is the new 3ds is capable of displaying approximately 16.77 million colors at 800x240 pixels(400 pixels per eye when using 3D feature). The new 2ds is capable of displaying approximately 16.77 million colors at 400x240 pixel resolution.
That looks really good. That screen kind of looks larger less distractions, or something. If only they would get rid of that nub and put another circle pad on it.
I like the original Zelda which was open world. BOTW is the first Zelda game I got into since the first. I thought some others were nice, but I never got seriously into them.
It can be a pretty powerful set. IF you got good bone weapons. Must be good though to compete with the big boys, and it will sometimes if you do. Just like sometimes you don't have OP weapons its situational. 80 percent damage boost on set 2 upgrade for bone weapons, including bone bows. Stacks with attack up food buffs as well. I just made it because in certain situations its really powerful, and fun to use. I've gotten some pretty good bone weapons with stat upgrades. All armor and your inventory really is situational so it's worth getting this I think. Barbarian set doesn't stack with attack food buff, but works with all weapons ( 50 percent attack boost I think?) so most useful. Although you can just eat for this set, but the added set bonus is nice for charging weapons. Especially two handed weapons. Guardian armor lv2 upgrade stacks and is 80 percent boost with ancient weapons ( for the most part the king of damage when using ++ ancient weps). Waiting on a good Dragonbone bat for some good clobbering time. 45 base damage 81 damage with this set not counting food up, or extra stats ( could be up to 121+ depending on stat boost if there is any). So not bad at all. Better than I expected I almost didn't get it, because I bought a bunch of those monster masks, and used two and got noticed both times. Thinking it was about the same gimmick only to realize its alternative damage output with upgrade level 2.
I missed it. I downloaded it seen the app for days after. Few nights ago or so my Switch turned off on its own in sleep mode. Turned it on and the app was gone. Went to the store and it said it was purchased and no way for me to re download it. That I know of anyways. Not sure what in the world happened.
@BlueKnight07 I forgot about another issue. When i'm in the map in Zelda trying to navigate the menu with the left analog stick. My input selection will not move every time it will with the buttons though.
@NEStalgia Yeah I press the home button then "A" I still always have to press the left "L" though. It works not a huge problem for me just never had to with the right one yet. The other issue is bigger for me I forgot about mentioned above.
Edit:
The more I mess with it I think its just the way it's designed. When I press home button the right one connects ( connecting light starts to activate) as i'm turning it on I assume so this is why the right one connects first. I'm guessing. As for my map in Zelda I just went through the controller calibration all seems well there. I guess I'm just loosing connection, or something not sure why the buttons would work and not the analog stick though. Could be the game not the controller. If it's affecting my combat it would be a huge deal. I don't know if it is. My biggest issue with Zelda combat when things get intense is accidentally hitting crouch. The weird thing is I was impressed with the range I could actually play with these, and not have to face the screen exactly. Yet I get issues with simple tasks in the same room. Not always its erratic. Always seems to be the left analog stick. Nothing else minus, and top buttons works fine always as do the "d" pad buttons.
I have to press L every time I turn mine on from sleep mode when they are off the switch pad. Not a big deal it connects instantly after that, but its literally every time. I can't recall one time I haven't. Never had to for the right one. Not even sure this is the same issue.
Something I didn't really consider buying soon. I seen a trailer on my switch and it looked so good on its screen. As well as the game play then this review put me over the edge. Bought it today. Looks great on my TV as well. I really like how it looks on the switch screen though.
@VR32F1END Yeah that Shock Troopers looks like it would be super fun. Watching trailers in table top mode that Shovel Knight: Spector of Torment looked great on the Switch screen. I think I liked it better than on the big screen.
Downloading Zelda day one update now.
Also the WiiU comparison to the Switch now that I see them in my living space is like comparing an early 2000 computer with bulky peripherals to an apple mac mini wireless setup. I love my WiiU but I really think it's time to retire it. Wish I had another setup for older consoles. Someday maybe I will get my crap together and do that. Clean up some space in another room for that.
Just got my switch hooked up way smaller than I anticipated. I like it. No VC games in the shop for me. BUMMER! Got Zelda so i'm sure i'll be ok for awhile haven't put that in yet still getting this new ID set up which I think i've done. Wanted me some Metal slug action! The screen looks great I was worried my eyes are getting worse with age, but seems ok as I set everything up in table top mode which is something I didn't think I would ever use. I can see using this way more than I thought.
Just add colored grips on the cheap. Probably a good idea to have them anyways. You know when that relative or friend who was born with sweaty hands wants to play your system.
Looks like my wiiU is here to stay. I love it's browser. Its my main media streamer. Two channel tube audio. I got surround as well but its boring as hell.
A new Excitebike where you hold the controllers in front of you like a real handle bar. Turn/ crank the throttle and feel the engine vibrate the more you rev it up. Then going up jumps feel some sort of compression, and coming down off a jump feel the impact. I can even see a Handle bar add on . This would be neat.
I probably look forward to this game more than any other one. Now if a Monster Hunter game was announced that would be a different story, but this sucker is up there.
All white system except keep the black bezel would be great. I ordered all grey, but like the colored one better. I actually like the mixed colors gives my eyes twice the pleasure, and those colors go great together.
