@Rpg-lover Looks like I was seriously wrong! I’m currently using a 256 Gb micro SD

It doesn’t make sense to compare the two. The PS4 has the pro revision, not to mention the slim, and what was effectively a new platform, PSVR launch as part of it.

@Woosh193 A few years later.. you’re absolutely right! I have a 256 Gb micro SD now. There are so many incredible indies, Sayonara Wild Hearts being one of my favorites

I really hope that Nintendo can see (since it was linked to my Nintendo account) that me, a dedicated switch fan with over 100 hours in multiple 1st party switch games, downloaded Mario Kart Tour, played 2 races, and then never played again.

Other M is my favorite Metroid game. I’ve also played Metroid, Super Metroid, Return of Samus, Samus Returns, Fusion, and Prime.

I don’t think it’s the best one, just my favorite... not a huge fan of the usual formula.

I love this game, but... any news about whether they fixed the GAME BREAKING bug that was in the deathinitive edition on Wii U and other platforms..?

@Zuhan You wrote the comment so that I didn’t have to. Cheers

@Dodger Agreed.

@vanYth @SKTTR I picked up shadowgate 64 about a year ago without knowing very much about it and thought it was fantastic. Its a really great ~6 hour game to power through in a weekend!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, no.

I remember scanning every line of every page of the Ocarina of Time guide as a kid, trying to learn where you get the doubled magic meter, and concluding that it simply wasn’t in their guide. Maybe I was just a dumb kid, but it left a bad taste in my mouth. Years later I got the Pikmin 3 guide and found its format to be utterly useless.. the maps were nice I suppose, but the Nintendo power guides were always far superior

Another point about the controllers:
Games like Star Fox had rumble as an integral part of the experience. Would nintendo produce controllers with rumble? Even without it the price of manufacturing an n64 controller is in a whole other league than NES and SNES, which is to say nothing about the fact that many of Nintendo’s first party games are meant to be played with 2-4 players... The n64 mini would be a very expensive ordeal

I have a lot of trouble understanding why people think an N64 classic mini might happen, which is to say nothing about those who think it is inevitable. The logistics are damning. Manufacturing and shipping with a single N64 controller already puts this in a higher price tier than the SNES mini given the size and the inclusion of a joystick (rumble would also be missing from the games that made it famous [Star fox 64 with no rumble!?!?] unless they added another price bump). The first party library (which is already more limited than the NES or SNES) is dominated by explicitly multiplayer games, and games like Pokemon Stadium and Mario Tennis/Golf would be missing features (Transfer pak functionality) making the controller issue worse. We know that Nintendo values their N64 library more than their 8 and 16-bit libraries based on virtual console prices alone. Rare holds the rights to many of the most desired games... That this couldn't reasonably happen for under $120-150 points towards it likely not happening to me. I may be wrong, and I look forward to you fine people pointing out what I'm missing!

I recently noticed that my CRT has S-video inputs so I picked up a cheap S-video cable on amazon for my N64 and was floored by the difference it made. The incredible difference that going from composite to S-video produced made me totally stop considering mods. The S-video change was even more dramatic for my Gamecube. F-Zero GX looks practically current gen

Update: It's amazing and I love it. I'm 36 hours in and just finished chapter 5 😜

Hoping to put about 35 hours in this weekend

@Riff-the-Don Based on what you are describing, it sounds like it's not a problem with the joystick. If you are tilting it and then letting go but the controller takes a second to stop registering the tilt input, your controller is probably disconnecting momentarily. It could be the very common (at launch) joycon disconnection issue.

I got Breath of the Wild and a Switch day one and had this disconnection issue. Sometimes I would be running and let go of the stick and Link would continue running for a second. Or I would be scrolling around the map and let go of the stick but the camera would continue to pan. The controller reconnects before you can even check to see if it disconnected in the first place. Nintendo will repair the issue if you contact them

My switch crashed right in the middle of a level in Fire Emblem Warriors and abruptly closed the software the other day. Perhaps this was due to the unstable 4.0.0?

I wonder if his nips come off?

BestBuy preorders are up in North America!

North American SNES mini preorders are up on BestBuy

@Priceless_Spork The procedure consists of snipping two cm scale plastic squares which are attached to the plastic case inside the console where they will never be in view. It can be done very cleanly with sharp tools and is very widely considered to be an enhancement. No one is attacking you, we are just disagreeing with your idea that this lowers the value of the console when in fact the opposite is true. We are also claiming that this is easier and more aesthetically enjoyable than playing games in cart cases with labels that don't match.

I have 6 consoles set up across two TVs in my living room. Doesn't look like it will work with my SNES, N64, Gamecube, or Wii

This announcement ruined my day. I want this so badly but know that I shouldn't expect to be able to get one. The scalper problem has gotten worse and worse instead of better. It's deeply upsetting that I can't walk into a store and buy the things I love from my favorite company, and Amazon will likely put up preorders at some random time unannounced that will sell out in seconds.

I've been pretty disappointed with the stuff that Nintendo has been packing into these special editions. BotW Master edition was the first time when I thought to myself "I don't want any of this". Now this is following suit. Would love it if the Amiibo were packed in instead

I just accidental swallowed my MK8 cart while I was tasting it. I'll let you all know if it boots up in approx. 24 hours.

I have this sitting on my shelf sealed and I can't wait to play it. I was very surprised by how much I enjoyed Darksiders 2 on the Wii U

Still no. The only way I would ever consider this is if it was $5 on the 3DS eShop

I couldn't want a spiritual successor to PaRappa less.

I had somehow remembered this from the Link to the Past Manual and named the black and orange horse in BotW Dragmire a few weeks ago

In addition to what has already been pointed out, Nintendo wouldn't bundle a physical copy of the game with the system (which is what is depicted on the box)... would they?

@Dakt @8itmap_k1d I think it's fantastic that the two games take different approaches to the world. I'm not sure I necessarily agree with you about X being streamlined. I enjoyed it, but found it much more obtuse and thought it took me about 20 hours before I really understood what I was doing and what the game was.

I'd be happy to see a return to the format of the original. It felt to me like a mixture of linear and open world simply because the areas were so large and it was easy to travel between them. That said, I love both games

@Zeargo Both are great games, but if I were you I would consider playing Xenoblade 1 instead of XCX. Not only is it considered to be the better game, but the new game looks like it's somewhat of a sequel to it. It's also on the Wii U eShop for $20

Some people would lose their minds if Nintendo tried to sell a battery for this much money.

Hopefully everyone realizes that if Nintendo went with a more powerful battery for the Switch, $400 would have been the console's price tag.

@Yasume Dang, no respect for Xenoblade 2? XC2 is what made me decide to buy a Switch at launch for Zelda instead of playing it on Wii U.

I hope they pull a Majora's Mask on BotW. Same engine, completely different game. All of the best Zelda games in the franchise were ones which took the franchise sharpely in a new direction (Majora's Mask, Windwaker, Breath of the Wild)

@invictus4000 As far as I can tell it doesn't use HD rumble at all. When it rumbles, it's not directional or dynamic. I don't think they did anything beyond what the rumble is like on ps4

It rumbles so hard that you can hear metal components in the controller resonating, I noticed the loud noise it makes the very first time I collected a blue blob thing.

@A01 I killed it with bombs too. I was wondering if anyone else did the same haha

@ChessboardMan But even with the console docked, the joy-con batteries last 20 hours. No one is going to play for that long.

Can someone explain to me when anyone is buying the charging grip? The battery life on the joy-con is longer than any play session will be, and dramatically longer than the system's battery life. There is never a situation where you will need to charge the joy-con while playing.

@Yhdekskymmenen I liked World Tour somewhat, but the Handicap system wasn't implemented correctly in my opinion, and the game was layed out confusingly. The dumb gear unlocks didn't feel interesting. I would like to see them bring back a clear progression (sort of like a story mode but not necessarily).

The Mario Sports games have been awful lately. Back on the GBC Mario Tennis was my favorite game on the console. Mario Golf Toadstool Tour was fantastic on the Gamecube. Lately they have just completely neglected to add the great features that the games used to have. I hope they get a new team working on Mario Sports soon.

My Best Buy preorder Switch got delivered a day early!!!! God is real!

Will this have a physical Switch release?

No physical version? D:

Reversable box art is the coolest thing I have ever heard of

@Phin68 What are you referring to? Not necessarily disagreeing, just not sure what you're getting at.

Probably would have bought it if it was a physical release (is it confirmed that there is no physical release?), gotta save that 32 GB space for now though... Plus I have been sitting on Bravely Second too so I'll just play that.

The graphics fetishism has gotten out of hand
