Re: Video: Check Out Dark Souls: Remastered Running In Handheld Mode On Switch

@HobbitGamer Not accurate. The Citadel DLC may be great but it wasn't on the Trilogy release which is what I was talking about. Also, the Wii U edition included NON free DLC. From Ashes and several weapons and other stuff.

Most of my enjoyment of the game was because the Wii U controls TBH, it was so immersive. And that special gun with the coordinates when you get it, it blew my mind .

Re: Parent Trap: I Really Miss The Nintendo Wii

I still have the Wii and the Wii U plugged because they are amazing. The one thing that bother me with them is the battery situation. The Wii U gamepad is rechargeable but the Wii remotes are a pain.

Yes you can use rechargeable batteries and chargers and I had them at the time but they tend to get lost and it's still a pain. Nothing beats the USB c that can charge both the Switch and the pro controller. And you can just leave the Switch in the dock too.

Re: Review: The Lion's Song (Switch eShop)

I hate the term "point and click". It's moronic.
It's an Adventure Game. That's the genre. Does it live up to the greatest golden age of adventure games of LucasArts and Sierra? I doubt it. But I will give it a try.

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's E3 2018 Went Big On Smash Bros. But Left Us Wanting More

dumedum

I agree. The E3 presentation was downright awful.

Smash Bros should have its own separate direct for stuff like that. Yes, smash bros it and of itself is awesome, it's great. And granted, the Gamecube controller (how will it work though? another adapter?) and the amiibo are perfect, beautiful. Ridley trailer amazing [I do think they could have had a cool intro too with epic music again and they didn't]

But that was what? 75% of the presentation? What? and where's 3DS? Gone caput?

Pretty awful. I think Sony and Microsoft and those are even more awful. But this was awful too TBH.

Re: All Smash Series amiibo Work With Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Will Carry Over Old Data

This is brilliant. I knew but (who knew that) amiibo was going to be this longstanding and this worthwhile in the long run. Other day I was in one of the closing Toys R Us, they offered one of the disney infinity 3 kits with a bunch of toys inside for $2.00.Yes, $2.00. That's right. This includes the game, base and all. I assume this was $59.99 at the time. And yet amiibo is going this strong into... 2019 (!)

Re: Review: Runner3 (Switch)

dumedum

Can't wait to play this. I love these guys. The way they brought these amazing games to WiiWare... it was so brilliant. It really made fall back in love with games. There was that philosophical edge to it, and the perfect gameplay, control... it was such a good time. I actually found Runner 2 disappointing, somehow it just wasn't that WiiWare series anymore, where you kept expecting something new every time, every episode.... but this even though again Runner looks really promising . And on Switch.

Re: Reaction: What are Your Thoughts on Nintendo Switch Online?

@PALversusNTSC in the money sense. You pay $ 20 instead of $ 60. It's a third. It's a huge deal. Less of a ripoff. Period. That is all. It's also not 9.99 per month. It's 3.99. It's cheaper however you choose.
Also the reason you have youtube on kids' tablets is the reason you don't have it on Switch. It's a game console. Those stupid complaints about non gaming related activities is really getting tiresome.

I agree with this by @TromboneGamer:
"While the price is a heck of a lot better than the competing services you're still being ripped off."
Long term you get ripped off even though the initial price is a bit of "de minimis" argument to be made here. Generally, it's pretty stupid. I'm glad it's cheaper than the sony crap though.
