Re: Delight Your Friends By Sending Them 8-Bit Super Mario iMessages

@rjejr I just looked it up, Nintendo has three options: Do a one time giveaway where Apple allows them to have 50-100 codes to give away, Make some of the stickers free, if possible, and lock others away behind paying for it fully and offer that as a My Nintendo reward through a special code to redeem, the third option is for them to offer the 50-100 codes then buy codes from Apple then offer those in MyNintendo for Gold coins, you earn silver coins just for popping onto the store.

Apple's rules kind of hamper Nintendo from elegantly doing what you would like them to do. I'm not even sure if the second option is even available for iMessage stickers.

@Shade_Koopa Actually they just using DInput, not XInput. XInput is a standard mostly used for xbox 360 and Xbox one controllers, if the switched used this protocol, the PC would see switch controllers as Xbox controllers. Steam Big picture sees the Switch Pro as a Dinput device.

@BlueOcean @Kalmaro There was actual talk of the port for II being rushed, as the first Heroes game ran rather well on the Switch. I don't doubt more optimization coming to the switch version coming. Especially with the Musou engine running even better on the switch due to Fire Emblem warriors.
