Im gonna get yakuza and FAST soon-ish. But right now I'm saving up for DK bananza. On the bigger picture side of things I'm saving up for a new car since my current one will soon need a new clutch and a few other things. Since the car is quite old its not worth it to fix so yeah.... but now I'm rambling. I wonder how they track key cards in all of this?🤔
If I do have sceatches, they are so light, that I dont notice them at all. I am however very careful. My launch switch has one noticable hick in the bezel area. Otherwise you could mistaken it for lightly used. I tend to be as cerful as can be with my stuff. Except smartphones which seem to leap out of my hands at any given moment.
Yay release now fix later 🥳. Should've added pal versions from the beginning. As for the switch 2 port I give em a break because apparently nobody got dev kits this time around (which if true is a big L on Nintendos part)
Ah yes because eveyone uses pokemon home a paid service..... what kinda response is that, if nintendo says all files will be transferred then I expect all files to be transferred... especially if there is no error message as claimed here. Then again how did his gba save files end up on switch without pokemon home? Something doesn't add up....
@Arawn93 yeah my psp Battery bloated after years of use and then after years of non use. I just noticed ot one day as I was movi g stuff that the battery cover came.off and the Battery was swollen. Nothing else happened and if I really needed I could get a replacement or perhaps play it while plugged in
Battery swelling has nothing to do with the device and wether it'll get a revision or not. These types of Battery can swell due to internal problems which can happen at any point in a charge cycle. From the outside you wouldn't see anything unusual until the fault happens. Fun fact: Your smartphone can do the same thing at any given moment. Now let's stop the fwarmongering and get back to more pressing matters: My Tea this morning was slightliy less hot than yesterday!
Ive been playing daily on various games, mostly BOTW(upgraded), no mans sky(upgraded) and Mario Kart World. From full charge down to around 5 to 10 percent. Then let it charge and then played down again. Not only does it seem that the Battery life has improved itself (could be placebo, I dont pay attentuon to the time as much). But ive never seen this error/warning popping up. Very interesting.
I think so far its an 8. But with DLC it can go way higher. Just imagine more courses both old and new similar to what mario kart 8 got. In general I find it hard to compare the two since 8 has had fantastic post launch support.
Haven't set my switch 2 up for gamechat and honestly not sure I will. Not becuase the feature is bad but I play mostly split screen coop with friends and if we do play online its via discord..... but hey having more features means more choice and that is a very good thing
I sit firmly in the camp of: the more choices the better. Now that the switch 2 isn't as woefully underpowered as the switch 1 was in comparison. This means more choices on more platforms. In my book thats a good thing. Now we just need to stip with the release broken games then fix later mentality and all will be good.
What about Alien Isolation? Its also on the incompatible list but I wonder......Eh might try it out later (I bought it a long while ago but the game never held my attention for long).
I can't wait to give the witcher 3 a go on switch 2. While I do have it on pc which is obviously superior, having it in the go for longer journeys is fantastic. All one needs is a powerful powerbank and you're good to go
It looks fine by me. A definitive upgrade over my launch Switch. I never got the oled version so I'm absolutely fine with it. Its shapr and the size is so big the bezels arent distracting which was my biggest worry.
Edit: maybe I should record my screen in slow motion too...... nah I got games to play
This never happened to me.... definitely not.....never........ especially by accident no no.... I am absolutely flawless at mario kart......Source: Trust me, Bro
@Kwyjibo_Kitsune omg the switch 2 sucks!!!! Dont buy it!!!!!......Guys nintendo fumbled my pre order!!!!!... Guys I got the Switch 2 on Launch day!!!!! I camped for 8 Hours straight!!!!!
These guys and many more in a nutshell. But that was kind of expected from them. One that that did suprise me was Mutahar as he always seemd to live by what he preaches but now Im getting off topic.
As far as drifting goes it seems to my untrained eyes that the red and blue parts around the joysticks serve as covers. Basically the joycon 1 sticks were open if that makes sense so drift could easily be caused by dust particles getting into the stick sensor unit. How effective the covers are remains to be seen but they do help with making the sticks feel smoother.
I got mine yesterday and I'm happy with it. The ZR/Zl buttons are a bit wiggly but this seems by design, if it were a huge issue it would have made the rounds online. So far mario kart is a blast (shocking I know) and playing botw in 60 fps is just chef's kiss. HDR I havent noticed much in Handheld (I dont have an HDR TV.) It is exactly what I expected, a stronger switch. Also the new magnet system for the Joycons is fantastic, though the little holder needs some getting used to.
I remember having the version with Ocarina of time as a second disc. To this day itnis onenof my favorite games. I don't think I have the Gamecube game anymore so glad its officially available again. NOW LET ME BUY IT!
Man, oh man yakuza. What a series. I never got on with judgment (that doesnt mean its bad). But this series can get absolutely ridiculous and over the top, which may put people of. Glad to read that this seems to be the definitive version. I sarted on ps4 but never finished it, so I may give it a 2nd try here down the line.
Ooohhhhh nooooooo. The switch addiction has gotten worse! First licking game cartridges, now you're smelling the vents! Whats next?! This preposterous!
I have no ida about components but its just interesting how we manage to create such complex yet tiny things as microchips etc. It's also very very interesting in seeing it all put together. Plus I find such vids satisfying.
@Late nowadays it feels more like. Lets just get preemptively angry at everything. Feels liek outrage culture or something like that. It's one major reason why I try to avoid social media as much as possible.
Their world designs are always top notch. So if you have experts like monolith at hand it makes sense to use them. Not only will it help other devs to branch out, it keeps the quality on a somewhat consistent level. While the previews seem mixed on the open world aspect, I personally look forward to have a relaxing ride around the Mario World.
I think its BS too but then again all my games on PC are digital now. On consoles I have gone mostly digital aswell. Switch has been mixed but woth switch 2 im gonna go all digital aswell.
So how toxic is the community gonna be? MOBAS are notorious for their toxic communities. Plus I'm not sure if Deagonball is a good fit for a moba. We'll see. Hopefully the community that builds around it is gonna be a good one.
I get that people were and are frustrated with this game (or perhaps the series as a whole). As for my 2 cents, the ship has sailed, left port and unfortunately didn't make it the journey. Maybe one day I'll try again but there are other games that get my.attention. Cant wait to play Botw and Totk at hopefully a stable performance as that was a big gripe for me.
A modern console with snappy menus? I thought the day would never come and what is that?!? The eshop doesn't take 2 eternities to load? Finally! This is such a huge QOL improvement.
