Re: Talking Point: From Joy-Con to 8Bitdo and Beyond, Switch Delivers a Revolution in Control

@MagnaRoader Well so far so good, and being that these supposedly work with the Wii as well perhaps Nintendo will leave them alone. I absolutely love playing a ton of games with the SNES30 controller.

(some favorites with it have been: Street Fighter II, King of Fighters 98, Blaster Master Zero, Shovel Knight, & Spelunker World)

I've bought the 3 of these controllers now and only so I can use them for the Switch. Two Snes30's one purple one rainbow colored buttons (super famicon) and then a Nes30 Pro with the dual joysticks. Haven't had the last one show up yet but I've loved the others so far.

Have you got yours yet? Have you enjoyed them a lot too?

Re: Surprise, Nintendo Isn't Hosting An E3 Press Conference This Year

@chardir I thought that was a really good presentation. Mind if I ask why you didn't like it?
Edit: yeah they. Could announce them at any time, but E3 was a date for a possible likely reveal, now we're back to guessing in the dark again.

Oh also I love Nintendo Directs but they haven't promised a timeframe for the next direct so that's really why this news is disappointing.

I'm rather annoyed by this. I was hoping for information on cloud saves between two systems, or at least some way to back up my saves to move them to a second system. I own 2 systems but the 'tablet' is still in the box in its original wrapping until they actually make owning two worth while.

Bought the second one to get the joycons, a second grip, and a second dock and I've loved those. I want my wife to be able to enjoy Switch games while I take the other system to work without her losing all progress completely.

Re: Random: Somebody Put Yoshi Into Sonic 2, And The Results Are Amazing

WillTheLion

@Kalmaro The new Sonic Mania game that is coming out originated because a guy was doing romhacks of Sonic games and Sega decided to hire him.

Sure Nintendo didn't give permission to use Yoshi this way, but Sega is really open to romhacks.They even allow people to upload romhacks to be freely downloaded and played with their steam version of the game.

Someone could probably share this there legally with no complaints from Sega.

Let NintendoLife make their own decisions please.

Re: Hands On: Creating a Quest in RPG Maker Fes

@Tuulenpoika According to Famitsu it will feature custom image creation, "Details from Famitsu show that the game will let you create your own art assets, but it will also feature many preset assets to make designing easier."

A friend of mine was looking into it around the time that it released in Japan to play on his imported 3ds. If I recall he said you could import custom images made elsewhere too but I can't find a source for that directly.

So if nothing else... hopefully it's a feature?

Re: Pokémon GO Player Apparently Gets Belgium's Biggest Mobile Network Banned

@Damo "Late last week a Redditor on /r/pokemongodev - a community devoted to developing "bot" programs for use in the game"

They develop things for Pokemon Go yes. But if you look at their rules on the side bar they are very anti bots. "Don't Post: Automated Bots: If a user can level up without playing the game, it's not allowed. Any violations will result in an immediate ban."

I believe the botting community you might be looking for is r/pokemongobotting/ instead. I don't use or encourage the use of bots though FYI.
