Re: Poll: How Are Your Download Speeds On Switch 2?

@Medic_alert Same thing wired, I managed a maximum of 320 Mb/s wired in the Switch 2 dock. Supposedly, the RJ45 network interface in the dock could support 1 Gb/s. But, like always, Nintendo always cheaps out on the network aspect of their hardware.

Still in shock at how poor it performs. Yeah, it's better than the Switch 1 for sure, but even wired in the dock, it is not capping its 1Gb/s capabilities.

But even worse for me; the Switch 2 STILL doesn't support Access point roaming on a mesh network environment. That's baffling. You need to be completely out of range of its current AP for it to connect to the nearest one, causing a network stop in the process. Every other device I own supports this. I was ok with the Switch 1 not doing it, but the Switch 2, in 2025? Come on.

Re: The Punchuin

I'm revisiting this game right now on the Switch 2. Incredible. Another high quality game from Shin'en. I'm surprised how little there is about it online. There's almost no guide at all. A couple of playthroughs. I'm trying to find if there is any secrets, hidden stuff in the game but I cannot find anything.

Highly recommended.

Re: Treat Your Ears To 'Hero Of Time', An Hour-Long Arrangement Album Based On Zelda: Ocarina Of Time

It is really weird. I bought this for a friend back in 2017, from Iam8bit. And they already said there would be no future reprint. It's like this distributor, ZAVVI, found a box of "Hero Of Time" LPs in their wharehouse and went "OOOOOPS". This LP is worth 300+CAD$ right now on Ebay. So 78.76CAD$ (shipping and taxes to Canada) on Zavvi is a steal. I've just pre-ordered one for me. Thanks Nintendo Life for making me aware. But you should be aware that this is no new release. Exact same album as 2017's.

EDIT : I just got off chat with a Zavvi rep and he told me the following : Harry at 10:37, Jun 25:
This would not be a re-print this would be remaining stock that was recently acquired from our supplier.
There we go. a 300 CAD$ + worth of a physical album popping out of nowhere is pretty sweet.

Re: Soapbox: Why I'm Not Excited About Playing NES Games On The Nintendo Switch

if baffles me that they never spoke about ANY FORM of network infrastructure enhancements. Not a single time have they ever said that online game play would be improved, or would feature dedicated servers, matchmaking solution.

so, how many ducks do you think I give to those "online features" ? NES games? get lost. Special offers? They can't talk about this just yet...why...why can't you start off with a 30 % off your greatest online game for a couple of days? Smarthphone app for voice chat? no I'm fine. I already have discord.

The only thing that makes sense is the cloud save.....but if you can't afford the online subscription, there is no local way to back up your stuff....

This service is terrible in 2018 and everyone knows it.

Re: Nintendo Still Has More To Share On Switch Online Before Launch

I just hope that they will confirm dedicated servers for games that requires the paid service. Like MK8, splatoon and smash ultimate. On top of that, the Switch OS needs massive update : Themed menus, at least DM or group chat if no voice chat rooms, the use of the home button blue LED that is on every joyconpro controller, folders (baffling it wasn't there at launch...you did it on the 3DS, you knew people like this feature a lot), cloud saving (confirmed).

Re: Review: Hollow Knight (Switch eShop)

doomgc

This game.....this game I've waited so long to get on switch. I refunded the steam version when I learned it was bound to happen on switch.

Simply put, this is a AAA quality-level game. You like metroidvania genre and a dark but quirky tone à la Tim Burton? Don't hesitate a single second and download this gem. I can't praise this game enough.

Re: Hollow Knight

At least, they could tell what date/month they are targetting, while emphazising it is not set in stone. we would all understand. but just to give us an idea. summer? Christmas? 2019 at this point?

Re: Hollow Knight

doomgc

I really thought we would get an update about it during E3. well. looks like Q4 2017 at the very least.

Re: Hollow Knight Is Rapidly Nearing a Switch Release

@Tibob I did 100% on shovel knight campaing and the hardest thing was the 90min run. and just to realize that this achivement is in specter knight and plague knight campaings as well, not doing it. but the shovel knight one is worth it. you feel great after it haha.

Re: Hollow Knight

doomgc

Tried this game on steam. got it refunded when I learned it was heading to a release soon on Switch. can't wait to play this game on the go. I played for an hour only, and it was one of the best hour of gaming in 2017 so far. except maybe BOTW.

Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Version 1.1 Is Now Available for Download

I just whish the next MK9 (pretty sure will be on switch to capitalize on the momentum) will not get out soon. I mean, I under-played MK8 because I didn't like the Wii U. I just want a year or 2 to really appreciate the game. Never thought I'd say this, but I kinda wish this game would have another DLC.
