Re: Of Course Mario Kart World Is Being Review Bombed

romanista

Still livoing the gamer , athough i still hope they'll add a classic mode (i suspect an update with dk and pauline constumes around dk's launch)..

for me the biggest problem is that when playing 2 player online the second player doesn't get any points... i often do this with my son and now one of us is playing just for fun, while getting a few points does help as a target and to align the competition

Re: Dave The Diver Is Getting A Free Switch 2 Upgrade "Soon", Says Mintrocket

romanista

@JohnnyMind @sylamp It does run a tiny bit smoother, but i also heard response time is a bit laggy , so great that they will make a new upgrade.. Mintrocket has been great in providing updates and new content for this, it really is one of my favourite switch games, and with the updates it is nice to return at times (even though the dlc's usuaully thake 30 mins to complete)..

Re: Poll: What's Your Switch (2) Game Of The Year So Far?

romanista

mmm... think i might have played most ACNL this year, after ejecting some sd cart space into my 3ds and discovering new stuff...

MKW during dune.. lots to love, something not so much (the 3 lap structure is one thing, but what I really don't like is that player 2 in online doesn't count... i play in that setup often with my son, since years, but now only one of us get ranking points and the other just plays along...

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch 2's GameCube Library Next Week

romanista

I already saw that this was there on the nintendo pre event in amsterdam, so not not surprised it is the first... excacly one month after the switch 2 release, so i suspect a monthly drip from now on..

I never have play the GC version, and pleasantly surprised how fresh it looks..Dayse is so cool. Did like charged but in retrospect didn't really went into it.. The switch was disappointing, and too much focus on that special shot (as often with mario sports games these days), and the meta-game just didn't work...Bough it based on the review here which seemed to completely miss that

so quite happy that it is there, hopefully my kids will give ti a chance for 2 player..

Re: Drag X Drive Switch 2 eShop Price Revealed

romanista

@rjejr yeah, demo seems like a good idea
.. iplayedn it portly on the the nintendo pre event in amsterdam in may..seems fun, but you have to play to experience it..

we couldn't see the meta game.. if it's just one game mode not sure if I'm going to buy it, but 20 euros makes it in my impulse buy zone for nintendo branded games.... *one of the reason they should have made a switch select..)

Re: Digital Foundry Is "Happy" With Switch 2 But Feels The Screen Is "Problematic"

romanista

It's always interesting to see* what DF think of a new product. I'm not usually a big tech person (pc gaming? why? ps5? got it but give me games), but they can bring some new light to things, and John's retro specials on e.g. 'water in games' clearly shows his love for the medium.

I was expecting the screen to be the focus point, since basically I loved it until now, so I hope this won't be if you have seen it, you can't unseen it.

Many of the mentioned problems can be fixed in firmware, and I think only really show up in the real world (I guess in their japanese testing world they only had HGIG (am I the only one who thinks about the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy with this acronym) TVs and thought it was standard...

On gameshare: it's not for nothing ofcourse they used the example of 51 worldwide games as an example in the videos.. it's not really meant for fastfusion...

And the cables made me laugh... Even though i have to untie my cable soup, for a non-df setup they are ok for me

  • for those above wondering why NL quotes them, they are partly the same company

Re: Talking Point: How Are You Finding Mario Kart's Open World?

romanista

One of the 'advantages' if MKW being so expensive in a physical form is that most of it have it on our switch2s now... free roam is great for a quick session, and i am using it like that... challenges are nice and sometimes a bit original (like the odes to old courses), but agreed here that a few bosses (ds had those) , a tracker, and some more unlockables (10/10/10 for mirror is quite easily done without trying)... would be very welcome in an update..

Re: Poll: Do You Three-Star-Gold Every Mario World Grand Prix Before Moving On To The Next?

romanista

I played enough to unlock Mirror mode, then went online,
probably will three star stuff on holiday , when offline is best option....

it is really weird by the way how it shows you highest reward, but not what you did on 150, until you look into it
(apparently my brother had won a gp on 100 cc on my son's account, and it took us a while that that was what was blocking mirror mode unlock for my son, because he didn't see he didn't have 150)

Re: Review: Nintendo Switch 2 Piranha Plant Camera - Shocking Image Quality, But Its Cuteness Will Snare You

romanista

@DreadfulDragon although I agree that the camera function is worse, it does serve a purpose the normal camera does not.. you can put it on your handheld switch... and then image quality is ok for gamechat....

(i bought in the preorder since i already had spent already that much money and this was cheaper... nintendo should have put the resolution somewhere in the shop_

Re: Review: Nintendo Switch 2 Piranha Plant Camera - Shocking Image Quality, But Its Cuteness Will Snare You

romanista

i got it with my preorder since it was cheaper than the official one , and so i felt i was saving some money... day after i saw the resolution..

but it is very cute, and I think the grip on the tv is nothing short of brilliant actually.. you have to 'get'how it works but then it just first without force, but by relieving of the weigh of the Pot..

quality for gamechat seems nice, but for the smiley-imitating game in Welcome tour it had trouble fixing my head.. (maybe a light-thing)... do wonder if jamboree will work,since i remember on the nintendo pre-event that camera was kind of amazing detecting four jumping bodies... (even dutch-length bodies)
