Re: Poll: Is Your Nintendo Switch Cracking Under The Pressure?

citizenerased

@dkxcalibur if balanced playtime between handheld and docked is required to keep the Switch intact, Nintendo should’ve clarified this in the manual. Also, those screen protectors won’t help against shell cracking issues.

The blind Nintendo defending in this thread is messed up, but not unexpected. How about the fact that Nintendo’s asking for €100-200 to get this fixed?

17% answering Yes in the poll is a ton, the fact that Nintendo is still charging people €100-200 to get this fixed (yes, really) when it’s obviously a design flaw is ridiculous. I hope the mainstream media picks up on this and Nintendo is forced to do free repairs.

My Switch’s crack is also near the power button, the corner is chipped away and it’s so bad the screw is no longer screwed in so the back panel actually comes partially off. No way I’m sending it in until cloud saves are a thing, though.

EDIT: Also, thank you for reporting on this, NintendoLife!

Watching videos of this, it just seems incredibly charming and full of details. It might just be a little bit of a case of style over substance, but I may very well pick it up anyway.

Re: Video: Let's Revel in Nintendo's Best E3 Moments from History

Twilight Princess reveal. It was one of the first E3s I followed live, they showed exactly what everyone wanted and the audience cheers were just incredible. It’s not one of my favourite Zelda games, not even in the top 5, but that reveal is a masterclass.

Lately Nintendo have been getting way better at giving people what they want (with a twist) but there’s no beating the magic of a live stage presentation. That being said, there’s also no lows like talking about sales data for 30 minutes.

Re: Review: The Adventure Pals (Switch eShop)

@JKRiki Google reveals plenty of pages mentioning "Super Adventure Pals" from way before 2010 (even pages in like 2007), so I wouldn't jump to any conclusions.

Maybe the creators of Adventure Pals would comment on it, but at the very least thing this has been in development for ages and has plenty of original charm, no matter the origins.

In any case, we haven't had a great Adventure Time game yet, so if this is an Adventure Time ripoff... it's really the first universally acclaimed Adventure Time title. Yeah there's a couple of mobile games with pretty-decent reception, but most of those have the depth of minigames.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend?

I've picked up Celeste, so that. I think I'm about 70% through the regular story (picking up about 70% of the strawberries, too).

And really loving the crap out of Use Your Words, which IMO is better than any of the Jackbox games. Highly recommended if you like party games.

Re: Splatoon 2 Producer Reveals More Details About The Octo Expansion

I basically bought the €60 game just for the single player, because I absolutely love the movement mechanics and style of the world. So happy we're getting 80 extra levels (for way less €). Hope they're as big as all the other missions, it would be a ton of content.

Fun fact: I played the entire single player without realising you could upgrade your weapons. Got stuck on the final boss, it felt a little unfair, then immediately (easily) beat him after upgrading the weapons haha.

@Not_Soos Oh man I would kill for a mission mode in Mario Kart 8. With boss battles and everything.

I love both this and Jackbox Games and I feel like people are being a little unfair to it here. I'd actually say this game has more personality than Jackbox, and relies less on shouty / weird-voice humour and more on building an absurd Monty Python-esque world. Definitely feels more polished

The subtitle game is easily the best one in the bunch. Shame this doesn't have a demo, more people should try it out! 9/10 for me.

That being said, it does have a couple of technical issues — pausing the game using the Switch menu or people closing their browsers seem to seriously affect stability.
