@jump sometimes the continental Asia and the middle east versions have no ESRB stickers (nor CERO or equivalent) while maintaining the English boxart. Maybe this works for you.
On the flip side, for the sake of your collection value, non-american releases worth less on the future (I don't know if it matters for you or not)
@RupeeClock took 23 years (and some luck) to modders finally implement widescreen on Mario 64, and this was done outside emulation evoirement, this was 2 years ago. So, today, I can't agree with that:
"it's possible to produce a 16:9 image for older 4:3 3D games with little issue"
@AllieKitsune usb over the wire and the 2.4ghz wireless have the same latency, the bottleneck is the usb itself.
If you pair a 8bitdo controller on an OG SNES (using the dongle) and run the input delay test, the results are the same as the OG controller, and this is amazingly fast
@doctorhino it has both Bluetooth mode and 2.4ghz mode, this is one thing. It has both switch and x-inpult modes, this is other thing.
The 2.4ghz dongle probably aims to allow the player to use this thing wirelessly without taking the high latency hit from the Bluetooth protocol, but this is just a guess
@TheFullAndy I understand your point, but it is very based on your personal library. I have 500+ SNES games and almost 120 Master System games (I really like sega more on 8bit). Switch online games are no appealing for me (yes it is cool to have those games portable, but the emulation is far from accurate). On other hand I have almost no 3D game, and Xbox game pass works on pc, so for me it is an amazing deal. I am playing flight Simulador a lot this week, and after that I can play zoo tycoon, streets of rage 4 and so on.
TLDR: I agree with you but your value is not everyone value
@ALinkttPresent animal scrotum is not inappropriate in east Asia, it is just a type of meat like any other. Cultural differences do exists and cause that. As an example, the number 24 means nothing for you, but in my country it is often used in homophobic contexts. Anyway there's literally a world of mor examples like that.
@JayJ I was no aware of tha version differences. So if an individual tha got Minecraft physical edition back in 2018 is not getting the new updates anymore?
I played a lot this game on early development stages and then a couple of years after the 1.0 released. At that time you could very easily choose the version you play. This feature was removed or it was never a feature for console?
@TG16_IS_BAE hades is on beta stage on steam and it is already considered "overwhelming positive" by the users, so maybe if you rethink about it, maybe you will find some fun
@Arbor on play asia there is an American physical for pre-order, and for my taste it is ok to ask here, even that Google has the said information, because you are helping others with same concerns about availability.
@TG16_IS_BAE here we have tons of ways to buy switch related stuff, some are 100% legal, but most are not. Due to the pandemic, our currency lost value and the main gray market route is closed (wich is our border with Paraguay) so the prices are insanely high right now.
@Faucet because you can share custom designs, some of those designs mentioned hong kong protesting slogans. Nintendo choose not to ban those designs so China banned the game
About the broken rare Pokemon, on let's go integration with go, mew and the dressed monsters were not available for transfer, I bet they would go through this route.
And for shiny Pokemon, the Niantic odds are very broken. If you play during an entire afternoon you get like 10.
I usually forget about modding on competitive games because more often than not it is considered cheating by the server. Hope this one is safe as I will try it out for sure.
@JR150 the classic doomguy used 4 out 256, see? Colorful!
Now seriously, apart from Mario, any smash character repesent a less important game for the gaming history than Doom. If smash ultimate proclaim itself as a celebration of gaming, then representing Doom is almost a requirement.
@okimoki because people do have kids. Unwrap a physical game do matter a lot for small kids, specially if a character they love is on the cover (it's safer too as you are not putting them on internet).
And, think about it, some adults often buys character based dolls (that obviously do no include any game) and nobody cares, so why should you care about people buying a physical video game?
@nessisonett vibration patterns, analog axis behavior, dead zones, analog linearity, sensibility, connection behavior, auto-sleep time. Those are the parameters I can think of. There is also the IR sensor that is not much used RN, and the notification light that is not used at all.
There is a lot to be done on controllers updates, that's why first party (sony, ninty and MS) and good third party (logitech, 8bitdo, etc) always release updates for their controllers.
@nessisonett it is not clear if it was a programming mistake or not. First, that crap anime came 1 year after the gen 1 debut, so the game didn’t use it as reference. Also every gen 1 ghost is poison type as well so it wasn’t meant for you to use ghosts against psychic.
On other hand there are npcs talking about ghosts being strong against psychic, so we just don’t know it it was or not intended, and if the error was on the guy who coded or the guy who wrote the npcs lines.

Re: Pokémon HOME Will Introduce New Anti-Cheating Measures To Address Hacked Pokémon
@dew12333 the worst part is that GF knows how to not allow rng (look ad gen 6). They delivered allow it and made it easier than ever on gen 8
Re: Pokémon HOME Will Introduce New Anti-Cheating Measures To Address Hacked Pokémon
@dew12333 Don't get your hopes up. Whatever they charge, pokehex legality check will "fix" for hacked monsters.
Also raid RNG is so freaking easy that you can get artificially perfect monsters legally anyway
