I think this looks pretty alright, but idk if it would really take off. If it's decently powerful I might be interested, my Switch has just become a dust collector the past few months
@SnackBox For sure I had an amazing time with ARMS online while Ult's awful netcode was one of the main reasons I dropped it for Melee. It's defo a shame.
@KingBowser86 Actually there's been no balance mods at all, people are just starting to see use in the likes of DK and Mewtwo just thanks to them being developed more.
@The-Nate I feel like it will, I love Melee but tournaments are just gonna have to accept they'll never get any help from Nintendo the way Capcom or NRS do.
@KingBowser86 I mean ideally Nintendo should let it go so the people who love it for what it is can continue to. Nintendo make no money off it, but the Melee scene is better than ever. I've found it a really welcoming environment and the fact that even now more and more characters are seen as viable is exciting.
It's nice to see the continued support, especially after the new revelations of what Nintendo has done to the scene in the past. At the very least, I hope Nintendo leave everyone alone and stop making an issue out of people having fun.
@Heavyarms55 You don't have to believe me, this is just tournament standard. No tournament tells entrants to pirate roms or provide said roms. This is the case for several recent tournaments of older fighting games, so don't blindly listen to Nintendo.
@Heavyarms55 Nintendo's statement would make you think that but that's just a flat out lie. Entrants have their own iso and how they get that iso is up to them, Big House has no influence.
@JuiceMan_V Well that's just a bare-faced lie on Nintendo's part, since the tournament's entrants all have their own individual iso of Melee, none of which were provided by Big House. Some of those isos, were legally obtained, some weren't, but it genuinely doesn't matter since it can't be proven. Nintendo's demands were to not have Melee at Big House, which is absurd. Personally I think this is just another desperate attempt from Nintendo to shut down emulation while blatantly ignoring the legality behind it.
@Cosats Which doesn't matter since legality of roms and isos can't be proven. The only people in legal danger are distributors of said roms and isos. Nintendo have no way of knowing if soneone playing Melee online is using a legally or illegally obtained iso, which is why they've lost lawsuits regarding emulation in the past.
@Cosats Slippi is completely legal, and so is emulation if the iso is obtained from a disk, which can't be proven from an iso alone. Nintendo is in the wrong.
This is really sad honestly, Melee's never been in a better place. Slippi made the world of difference to me in lockdown and it introduced me to one of the most fun games and welcoming communities I've had the pleasure of being in. This hurts, you can argue that Nintendo have the right, but this is morally disgusting. Taking away online events in the middle of a pandemic is beyond awful.
Crown Tundra was actually pretty alright, but while I like some aspects of the base game like the portable box, I think it's rather weak. Isle of Armour was one of the worst things I ever played, dreadful.
As long as the price is right this is actually pretty neat. I personally only buy digital but it's still really cool to see how far this series has come.
@WhoTFLol Actually I own every game I play on Yuzu, I use Yuzu solely for modding cause I don't want Nintendo to brick my switch for having fun in a way they don't like. How about you get a job to give you something better to do than pretend to be better than people you don't know.
The point about preservation makes sense, as a Yuzu user this isn't an issue to me. Even the best emulators like Dolphin typically have no online outside of netplay. Locking features of emulators behind paywalls is a bit sus though, I'm aware a lot goes into them but that raises all sorts of legal issues.
@SilentHunter382 oh for sure, PS5 does have a couple really standout exclusives which is a lot more than I can say for Xbox. Xbox is better value for money than PS5 imo but Xbox really doesn't do anything better than PC tbh
Should've been there from the start, but still good to see. Using the right stick for star bits like the Nvidia Shield port of Galaxy would be welcome too.
@KnightsTemplar Nice one calling me the sheep when you call people who don't like a game 'miserable'. I'm not some guy who just bashes Nintendo 24/7, I think Nintendo are alright, I'd just like for them to be better and be more consumer friendly, that's all.

Re: Nintendo Apologises After Multiple Customers Receive Faulty Consoles Out Of The Box
So drift doesn't exist according to Nintendo but they'll replace a small handful of faulty models no problem?
Surrreeeeeeeeee.
Re: Nintendo, PlayStation And Xbox Announce A Shared Commitment To Safer Gaming
I really don't see Nintendo playing a big part in this, there are diseases more consumer-friendly than Nintendo.

Re: Smash-Style Indie Brawler Fraymakers Reaches Its Switch Stretch Goal On Kickstarter
Smash Flash 2 is one of the best Smash experiences out there, so I'm beyond excited for this. The only thing on Kickstarter I've ever backed.
Also rollback netcode.
Anyone does what Nintendon't.

Re: Animal Crossing Island Transfer App Launches On Switch This Week, Here's How It Works
It's nice they've done something, but not having the terrible save and island restrictions in the first place would've been ideal.

Re: Random: Move Over, Nintendo Labo, And Get Ready For... PlayStation Labo?
Proly gonna skip PS5 just cause it's a bit redundant if you have PC, but honestly this is adorable and one of my fave things about PS5

Re: SuperData: 3D All-Stars Is Now The Biggest Digital Launch For A Mario Game On Nintendo Switch
That's genuinely quite sad, the fact such a lazy and shoddy collection can sell that well even with scummy sales tactics really sets a bad precedent.
I was hoping Nintendo would learn from this, but if it sells anyways then why try to be better?
