My router is upstairs and I usually can't connect when docked, with stress on usually. And when I can connect I mostly have one bar sometimes two. That said I never once got kicked from a splatfest match. I only failed to connect twice at most in the three hours I got to play. Needless to say I'm a little relieved, but I'm still thinking about getting my wifi extender to work(I updated wifi name and password but the extender didn't update) and wiring up directly to that, but only if that is any better. For all I know it could be a worse solution.
Personal preference though, I hate how the pupils are done. The only way it doesn't look off is staring at it directly in the face. From the side it looks like there is a splinter jammed in the eye :/
Played this back in 2008 while it was still a freeware game. Glad I waited to buy a paid version of in now when it has all the goodies with it, though I'm scared to put the cd in any player.
I haven't played are wrestling game since the 64. Does this series have a create a character and is it any good? If so I might have to buy this game and revive my old character Mighty Cow, some that guy was invincible and I could never make another character that could challenge him.
@manu0 Somebody on twitter pointed out on their jackets is says 101 instead of 100 like in the first game, so I'd say its possible. Plus those famicom joycons!
@ThanosReXXX To be fair the question is "will it come", not "should it come". I understand your point and agree, it should come to the Switch.
I mean, both the wii and wii u got iterations. I just get this feeling it is not coming this time around.
First of all, did they get a dev kit early enough to make a quality port or to release along side the other versions. If it doesn't release along side then I don't think most would wait for the switch version just for a portable COD, and by time it did come out I feel the user base on switch would be too small take make it worth playing online. Hopefully I'm wrong though.
I'm really curious about the Nintendo Switch Retro Fighters Turbo Controller. Looking at the pictures it looks like a piece of junk. I'm gonna see if I can find more info on it.
@Nintendoforlife It is all good. To answer your question (since I didn't answer it in my reply above), I think it got patched because it gives players unfair advantage and is considered cheating.
@Nintendoforlife It is called an "exploit" For example: Wave dashing, you make your character slide across the ground for better positioning. It is the equivalent to sliding on ice. Now try this, while wearing socks jump forward on a tile or hard wood floor. What happens? You slide forward. In melee you have the ability to air dodge in any direction which is also a fast movement. So if you air dodge into the ground with a character with less friction they should slide. Stopping in their tracks would make no sense. Now if you jump and air dodge down and into the angle quick enough the character doesn't look like they jump and they just slide in one direction. So were those physics supposed to be there? Yes Did the developers expect players to use said physics to create wave dashing? No Therefore it is meant to be in the game but not meant to be used in that fashion which in turn means it is an "exploit", not a "glitch".
I think everyone is overreacting to this on both sides. This isn't a glitch, but it is an exploit much like wave dashing was in melee. It is just part of the physics that we have learned to bend. Was it meant to be like this? No Is it cheating? Not in my opinion Its not like this was snaking. Fire hopping maybe helped me average one place higher online, but the fact that items are part of the game practically negate this. Again, my opinion.
@Drummertist I'm extremely careful with my Switch and I got scratches within the first four times of docking and undocking. Warped docks are a thing. The scratches aren't on the display part of the screen so I'm not really upset though.
@RazorThin The screen scratching issue most definitely exists. I've been extremely careful docking and undocking my Switch all 4 or 5 times and it has gotten scratches at the bottom left, but not on the part that actually shows picture so I don't mind.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE You should try Superman 64, then promptly go buy 1 2 switch (but not the Switch). You'll have so much fun with 1 2 swich in the box than you ever could with superman.
@abbyhitter This is basically why I'm okay with it. I would pay $15 alone for the original story and new dungeon and $5 to have the cave of trials and new hard mode be part of dlc in order to have the game not be delayed or cut the cave or mode entirely.
I'm not so sure about the additional map feature. What would that even be?
I just better not "need" the useful items for anything. I'll wait to get this until I beat the game.
The multiplayer look like a blast. Just like in the past.
Watched the video at work and I got a look when I laughed after an out player hit another in the head. Same with the red bomberman getting stuffed into the ship.
I found the Splatoon 2 add interesting. There weren't eight people playing but there were eight inklings. So three scenarios: bots, local plus online together, or (and the most likely) an overlook and there is nothing on the screen.
Honestly I think these are for the same people that thought the Wii U was an add on to the Wii. Most consumers might not understand they can buy any of these other SD card options, so Nintendo says "Here, you people can buy these memory cards for our system(ignore the price please)."
All these look gorgeous. If the artwork is like this in the US I'll be sure to find away to display them and just keep all my games in a carrying case.

@NintenerdCentral I would have to second this.

Re: Sega Forever Manager Blames Mobile Fragmentation For Shortcomings

Meh, I'll delete the game in a week because I dislike phone gaming anyway.
Re: Feature: The (Sadly Fictional) Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo Switch Fighter Ballot - Results!
@SM4SHshorts
Hahaha, I see. Every time I see her on a Smash Bros wanted list I rage so I stopped read.
Deep breaths, deep breaths...
Re: Feature: The (Sadly Fictional) Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo Switch Fighter Ballot - Results!
Krystal? Seriously? At least she wouldn't be another Fox clone like Falco and Wolf.
The fact that Geno isn't on this fake list is a crying shame.
Re: Poll: Who Would You Like To See In Super Smash Bros. For Nintendo Switch?
The lack of Geno as an actual option is disturbing.

Re: Deals: Nintendo Switch - Upcoming Goodies For May And June
Day 1 I'll get Disgaea 5 Complete and Cave Story+
I'm gonna get ARMS as well, but I doubt on day 1 because of Disgaea 5.
I'll think about USF2 down the road just to support 3rd party, but I still don't know. Not happy about the price.

Also, no P90? No buy! ;P
Re: Weirdness: 35-Year-Old Review Of Game & Watch Title Octopus Surfaces Online
This just made me realize how bad we need a Game&Watch collection on the Switch.
"The game is held with the long dimension horizontal."
"It has a little swing out stand in the back so that it can be stood up on your desk."
Make it where you can play in HD or in "LCD" mode. That would be great!
Re: Gawk at 'Classic Sonic' Dashing Through Green Hill Zone in Sonic Forces
The only thing I like about this so far is the style of classic Sonic. Momentum just seems off, like others have said.
Right now I'm just sticking with mania.
Re: Fire Emblem Heroes Adds Characters from Path of Radiance
@CrazedCavalier @SLIGEACH_EIRE To be fair he is answering the final question in the article.
Re: New Nobunaga's Ambition Title Confirmed For Nintendo Switch
Well. Since we're region free now maybe we can hope for English subtitles and menus in the game and then we can import it?
Edit: @Pigeon And from that comment I can only assume what I said it would be a no.
Re: Silicon Studio Extends Support For Its YEBIS Post Processing Effects Middleware To Switch
@nhSnork @JunkRabbit Reading through this comment section I was thinking the same thing.
But but, the 20 year old game isn't on the VC! So that makes it a crappy port and the Switch a crappy "port machine"!!! ...sigh

Re: Nicalis Teases a Binding of Isaac amiibo
I'll pass on this; however, if they make a Cave Story amiibo I'll bite.
They probably will only do that if this one succeeds.

Re: Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition Lands On 11th May
@SLIGEACH_EIRE I feel like everyone is misunderstanding this comment. I'm finding it humorous either way!
This better have an expanded world compared to WiiU or I will skip. Though portable minecraft with better controls is very enticing.

Just anything with that type of 3D modeling. I vaguely remember something called salad fingers too? I don't know.
Re: Square Enix is Considering More Nintendo Switch Releases
I haven't played a new rpg that I liked in a very long time (on console anyway).
So Square, bring it on.
I could also use some 'Tales of' games.

@Jessica286 did you see the thing in the elevator? Reminds me of stuff you used to see in the dark places of YouTube in its early days.

Re: Protect Your Nintendo Switch's Screen With These Fetching Dock Covers
@Drummertist I'm extremely careful with my Switch and I got scratches within the first four times of docking and undocking. Warped docks are a thing. The scratches aren't on the display part of the screen so I'm not really upset though.

Re: Video: Trio Of Japanese Nintendo Switch Commercials Communicate Core Features
@idrawrobots Yeah, I thought about that after the fact. Almost edited it into my comment. But all online would be a pretty good assumption as well.

Re: Rolly Roguelike TumbleSeed Confirmed For Nintendo Switch
I'll pass on this. Looks interesting, but not my style of game. I do like how the Switch seems to be attracting a lot of good indie projects though.
