Re: Random: Nintendo Switch Appears In The Background Of Yet Another Xbox Video

@Lionyone I just said that it is unavailable, not that he do not want it, and I was being sarcastic. It is obvious that there are a bunch o competitor hardware inside those companies since day one (or even before, you know, industrial spying is a thing). And I am referring to every big company in this business (MS, Sony, Nintendo, Amazon, Google, and so on).

@The_Trooper49 the $10 iron is enough for this extremely easy job. It is really that easy, you should try even if you never done this before.

You don't even need flux, or good alloy for that job (but use those if you can for every soldering job).

A quick ali express search of the term "gba snes shell" will show you a product that feature the same shell and screen from the Damien's GBA.

Re: It Appears Pokémon GO Is Falsely Banning iPhone Users Again

@RupeeClock everything you said plus the shiny rates being waaaay better for paying players.

I never spent a cent on this game until the mew event earlier this year. Out of 62 shiny that I have, only 8 I got before I spent real money, and I play since release (there was no shiny pkm early on but my point still applies)

@Sandro89 why spoofing is bad for you? The worst that is going to happen to you is earn some free lures on pokestop on your region.

Banning innocent players on other hand, is indeed a huge problem. As much as shiny locking (or at least make harder to get shiny) not paying players, witch they do.

Re: Super Mario Bros. 35's Next Special Battle Takes Us Through Every Course Once More

@MatoFilipovic I think this game is indeed going away. That's Nintendo, and they do this kind of stuff. They discontinued NES and SNES mini when they were still selling a lot. If we go back more, they never sold GBA on 3DS, even that they got the roms ready (that ambassador program). They let a mountain of money go away and didn't care.

Without Mario 35 the NSO will become less appealing, but they just don't care. (and if they do, they can just press a button e fill the service with value from their back catalog).

I know it is all a matter of subject opinion, but looking at this list made me have a subjective opinion that this journalist has to play the snes a lot more.

Re: Legendary Pokémon Found In Sword And Shield's Crown Tundra DLC Have A 100% Catch Rate

abdias

@mariomaster96 I'm guessing that it will be like ultra space wilds. Once you found one, you can't find anymore. Now what will happen if you join a friend adventure after getting the legendary she/he is hosting I can't even guess. Currently they give poor catch rates for friends and 100% catch rates for the host (Except promo dens).

Also I don't think it will be any shiny lock. I may be wrong but they clearly don't care anymore at this point. Just look how easy is to get shiny dens today, and they did nothing about it.

Re: Random: Someone Made A Manual For Super Mario 3D All-Stars To "Complete The Physical Set"

abdias

@Rhaoulos yes, anyone can release a book, magazine, video, etc filled with Nintendo logos and assets as long as the purpose is information, be a guide or a criticism.

As examples, Mcdonald's and the Sea World have some very critical material available for years now on streaming platforms, with their logos all around, and the videos are still available.

But products without informative purposes are banned. You can't sell unauthorized pikachu toys for example.

Re: Velan Reveals An Early Prototype Of Its Mario Kart RC

@EmirParkreiner just guessing here, but maybe it drifts in game only, then throw the boost in real life.

Anyway, if you think about it, it will be the most realistic physics for a racing video game ever, because it indeed use the real world physics. I think it is insane.
