Re: Mailbox: A Good Switch 2 Console Pairing, Fun With Strangers, Sterility - Nintendo Life Letters

@Nep-Nep-Freak I think it's also fair to say the first part games were real bangers too. I'll spare you the list but I mean all of the wiiu ports prove it.

Switch is better in a lot of ways but sometimes it feels like the wiiu walked so the switch could sprint.

One game i will name is breath of the wild because it is a wiiu game. I only own the game on wiiu myself.

Re: Nintendo Clarifies That Labo VR Will Not Work With Virtual Boy For Switch Online

obijuankanoobie

@Nintoz ya in with you, this doesn't mean it won't work. Just wouldn't make sense for them to advertise that it does work when they are trying to sell these new accessories.

Pretty sure it was on this site. There was another article that said that the vr stuff they are selling will be compatible with the vr modes in Odessy and Captain Toad. So it makes no sense why the old VR won't work now.

I'll be patient try out the VR on Labo and if doesn't work I'll order the new one and be patient for it to show up.

Being cheap often means being patient.

Re: Preview: Five Takeaways From My Time With Virtual Boy On Nintendo Switch Online

I'm gonna try it out on my OLED with the Labo headset. If it works fine I probably won't be picking up the accessory. I think being able to hold it up to your face might be nicer.

One of my favorite (and silly) ways to play my virtual boy is laying down with the headset just kind of sitting on my head so I think the labo or cardboard one would be more comfy than the replica. Even though the replica is pretty cool.

Re: Switch Online's Virtual Boy Adding New Feature To Change Screen Colour "Later This Year"

I had my suspicion that the toycon labo vr would work and then popping off the lense in the video pretty much confirmed it for me, so I'll skip out on buying the accessory for now.

I do have a VB which I love so it'll be nice to play some games I'll never afford, like 3D tetris or Nestors Funky Bowling.

I do own Jack Bros Japanese which is oodles cheaper and actually has the English ROM built in you just have to do a button sequence on start up which was neat.

Re: Feature: "Demoralisation Is A Strong Word, But It Accurately Describes The Situation" - Why Do So Many Games Get Delayed?

obijuankanoobie

As sad as a delay is I feel like I have so much to keep me busy. It's not like this is 1990 and I have 3 games on my NES and I just can't wait for the next console to launch. I have possibly a hundred games or more, and can keep myself occupied, possibly forever.

I do feel bad for the dev teams, I think the demoralizing feelings are real. Poor chaps, no fun delivering less than ideal news.

Re: Nintendo's President Remains Coy On Potential Price Increases

@Metazoxan I appreciate the conversation, I did play DKB. I had a friend lend me the virtual game card for a few weeks and did enjoy it, but was able to get through it in the trial period. I did play the demo for Kirby Air Riders and other than being able to kick other people off their machines I felt like it was just an HD polish of the original, which don't get me wrong I loved, but don't feel like I need to buy the new one because of that.

I also have Prime 4 and it's just been pretty disappointing so far as far as hand holding and the like. It looks fantastic but hasn't been as fun as the Prime Remaster.

Having the GameCube games has been a plus though, which I do forget wouldn't be available to me on the original Switch, so it does have that going for it

Re: GameStop Kicks Off 2026 By Reportedly Shutting "Hundreds" Of Stores

The only game store I frequent is Game Smash, a local retro store. They actually got me into retro games over 15 years ago! But they have plenty of switch games too.

Last time I went to GameStop was for the late night launch for Tears of the Kingdom. I honestly look back on it with a lot of fondness, but I agree with what others have also said, it's hardly a game store anymore. Sad but true.
