@Antraxx777 yea sounds annoying. I will maintain, however, without having played it haha, that if a developer wants to indicate "Do NOT get hit here!", then pingponging off enemies til you're dead is a valid way of communicating that.
Comments remind me of telling my friend that Man of steel was trash, and him offering all kinds of reasons why, like reshoots, rewrites, whatever it was. The reasons don't change the fact of the thing. We should be able to agree that frame rate drops are not a good thing. If it doesn't bother you, great, buy the game. That's why the actual review is the important part, not the number, please consider dropping the x/10 system.
I really like how the face buttons and sticks are pushed up at you above the grips. Going back to a pro controller feels wrong, like I'm reaching way down to the sticks. Forgot about that, good stuff. Been quite a while since I sold the old cube at hollywood video, feels great to hold again.
no kidding, I was going to keep my switch, I have 3 kids, but the constant joycon problems combined with the massive increase in load times for some reason led me to sell for switch 2 credit before it died on me completely. I wouldn't expect it to function very well in 20-30 years, unlike the 64 or GC or any handheld.
This industry is suddenly a prime teacher on capitalism and the class war it necessitates. Very interesting, really feel for all of you journalists and game developers caught in the chaos.
they act like crediting an artist somehow takes away from them, as if it costs anything. What the hell. These issues keep popping up and really makes me lose respect for them, they are out of touch with artists. Games with trailers and release date shouldn't have us playing guess the developer any more either, what is that.
@shgamer hori makes a good left joycon with a real dpad. Only catch is no wireless, handheld only. I'm sure they'll have a switch 2 version coming. Nintendo isn't going to do it.
@Strawblaze I agree with your comments on the switch first party library. Re-releases galore. And I keep waiting for more fzero, star fox, punch out, metroid (more than once a decade), pilotwings, Zelda that isn't minecraft. But I think Mario wonder, peach showtime, and Mario party are the future.
Nintendo is run by an accountant now. Why put money towards anything that's not the maximum return on investment? That means casual Mario games. Nothing lasts forever, time will show the Iwata years to be their peak. Maybe not profit-wise, but artistic quality and creatively. The new focus on movies doesn't bode well, RIP Zelda. /bitteroldman
Not sure what the problem is. Bowser was not dismissive. If he said they're stopping support for switch 1, we'd just have a slightly different flavor of outrage. I think people are just pissed at the price and looking for issues now.
I've never liked the feel of those on 3rd party controllers, usually an unpleasant R3 L3 stiff click. But thank god Nintendo has joined the rest of the world with button remapping.
My arcade game play has moved to steam, and it's fun to see an achievement that less than 1% of the user base has. But I play Nintendo to relax, not compete.
Having a great time with this. Note, though, if you want to use a hitbox for the directional inputs, the switch cannot recognize multiple directions simultaneously. Works on steam though. For switch I'm using the face buttons of my arcade stick. Interested in others' setups.

Re: Grant Kirkhope Apparently Got A Bananas Reason For His Missing Mario Movie Credit
they act like crediting an artist somehow takes away from them, as if it costs anything. What the hell. These issues keep popping up and really makes me lose respect for them, they are out of touch with artists.
