Re: Feature: The NES and SNES Mini Could Live On Through Nintendo Switch

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.

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.

Re: Nintendo Fixes the Left Joy-Con Problem with a Small Piece of Foam

@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.

@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.

Also got it! Japanese Shock Troopers downloading now.

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.
