@rvcolem1 you're in the silent majority, no worries.... it's mostly people who want thing to remain the same or are really invested in the lap model who hate it...
@HammerGalladeBro still as a picross fan, do you see this releases like a puzzle book which had a new edition full of nonograms (the puzzlemagazine's word for them)... I must say I still to have some many picrosses (zelda on the 3ds, with nintendo club points).. i don't really see a point in buying a new one myself... eventhough i like picross quite a bit
would like me some logigrid/logigram puzzles though/ one step further
@batmanbud2 that was one of the first i thought of as well.. remember going on a flight to Aruba,and thinking..i'm now going to play 3 houses for hours, and then concluding the screen was unreadable after 10 mins.
R3dently replaced my gameboy microbattey... That was nice and easy... Thought about replacing my switch 1 battery recently (YouTube videos make my itseem ok, so for me the switch already had a replaceble battery) ..after getting the switch 2 i had Put my switch 1 on a strong but generic usbc adapter, after which the switch 1 battery seemed to be empty in ten minutes (almost exactly starting virtual racing and finishing beginner)... But after two months on its own adapter and resetting the battery it was ok again).
Mmm. It giving you an eshop icon will irritate. Really on the fence pn this upgrade. It Does look really nice but the multiplayer content looks something we'll play only once. (And boost Mode ofcourse).
So interesting that this patch is almost released the same moment as the ps5 portal update with also has a new 1080 mode. Like they were waiting for each other
@charliecarrot i guess it's just a leftover from mario kart wii when we were in the time of motion controls and they gave away a wheel with the gane... and you can unlock a golden wheels (at least in 8) iif you use it a certain percentage..
Blu sky gaming! America wins this time. I have the japanese version of this game. Nit sure why. Did it come out much later in europe? It is one of the hidden gems of the ds library being a squareenix sports game.
@The_Nintendo_Expat they are quite upfront about them being a team in a larger group, it was mainly western gamesmedia that put them in a label just because of the art-style...
@koopababble think they just liked godzilla, was a cool colab. (do wonder is of Mintrocket (nexon) is part of the same chaebol (korean conglomerate) as Hyunday, altohough it doesn't seem like that..
Played the demo on steam some time ago, sort of forgot about it, but seems like fits nicely on the swith. put on my wishlish as i already have too much to play now thanx to succumbing to the analogue 3d
@Broch83 yeah i guess you're right, just a bit of a confusing annoucenment, since it was announced earlier... now it looks like non virtual boy addon owners only get one in march. when it is two
(and you wonder if it wasn't competing with mario sushine as well for mario day)
@The_Nintendo_Expat I guess you had a different reading of my comment then, no worries
On the plastic thing, agree that there is so much plastic in the world, i recycle endlessly here. But i would argue that most of that is in packing material and by using the argument for something you personally don't really like is a bit selective... But I admit that i also want to de-stuff and that the appeal of such a little gameboy thing also makes me wonder about how I can resist stuff in one case and being attracted to it in other cases....
@The_Nintendo_Expat except that weren’t my arguments at all my friend.
My point was that is simple fun merch. And I just read through 50 negative comments who were seeng this as a proper nintendo project. And as simple merch, as a Japanese company oftne does there is some symbolism. And here it refers to the psychicallity and the trading of the original (at least that is what I read in it).
As I know you (in the hookshot comment world) it was maybe a bit unfair since I held your comment a in high regard, but the number of negative comments on a fun exclusive little celebratory item….
@The_Nintendo_Expat why do you think it is dumb. It is sold out so there clearly ls a target group. It is just a fun little thing. Remember there are people paying l 100s of dollars for a pokemon paper card.
It's an ode to the physical. It refers tonthe era in different way (cartridges) that a gameboy mini would do.
If they really were the greedy beasts people are calling them on the side recently. They would have sold the carts in sachets if five ... giving you doubles
@Coalescence thanx for your response. As you say. They just are making something they think is fun. And the little cartridges refer to pokemon playing card in a different way.
Just enjoy crazy stuff my friends. And you don't have to buy it if you think it is stupid.
Look. I know the new 3ds xl is onjectively better. But i just love my luigi year special edition xl. Even more since i repaired the circle pad. So it really is my baby. And after being modded. It feels so powerful
wonder how they managed the rights for the fan created content for the pc... now probably that would be all ubisoft owned in the T&Cs anyway, but in the late nineties?
@Banjo- ah, you gave an answer to a different question that i did i realize now ... the first i probably played was ocarina of time too... the ifrst time played the original zelda might be in animal crossing .. mmm or wario ware
@mlt Certainly my most played gae on Viper 3DS.. really nice arcade gameplay for just a game or a couple of levels.... really good fitting for nso (were it not that you had to set up the whole shabang first)
@Quick_Man might be because of the controls on the NSO-VB, analogue sticks really don't work as nicely as digital would here.. (pro tip: use the n64 nso controller)
