Charcoal. That was mine. On release. Me and my mom went shopping. And there it was: a big pile of (as far as knew) to be sold out consoles. My parents never had deep pockets but she understood straight away: I told her that this system was officially not available in Germany at that time without pre-order and I would pay her back by selling my 3 months old Playstation. And My mom said ok and paid for it. One of the best days in life. I still remember sitting in the train back to our village feeling, smelling and examining the box of this dear friend to be. I love you, mom
Happy Birthday Nintendolife!! I stumbled across your existence around the release of the switch (I'm from Germany btw.) and am hooked since then. The good articles, the very nice team, very well produced vids (special thanks to Alex) and a splendid community are the reason that I visit you multiple times a day since then! Thank you so much for the hard work and stay as you are! All the best from Germany!
@blockfight great work! I'm looking for tunnels right now and some workaround to get LED-headlights on the Kart without being too heavy. Someone got an idea?
I must say, I suffer from connection issues between Kart and Switch (day-one-version). Even in the same room I get 3 bars tops and never a really stable picture. Is it my console? Or does anybody else have the issue? Thanks for replies!
Edit: in the end it works quiet well (Maybe my first track was just too big and I have thick walls). And it's a lot of fun!! After day one with it, I recommend it π
@SwitchForce Hey, I bet you know what are you talking about. It's just to aggressive and to long to read it through... maybe you should consider to make your point first and then start explaining?
@Ratking oi, a friend of mine had the very same thing. I gave him one of the small devices that act like a dock and it works fine. It's about 25 euro as far as I remember. Never bricked mine or his console. If you need a link, just ask. I dunno if I can post it here. Cheers
@Beermonkey hope there was no personal stuff lost (pictures etc.) and glad to sense no one was hurt. Fire can be so heavy on people's souls. Hope you're doing fine! Best wishes from Germany!
My personal opinion: I LOVE the idea. But I cannot imagine it's working out. It will get boring after 20 hours in for the most kids, I guess. The freedom in your apartment or in parks etc is limited. I don't know what they will pull off software-wise. But it has to be a lot to keep children playing.
But I still love it.
Edit: what I am looking the most forward to is Alex' review on this. Please penetrate your friends with this and share it with us, mate π
@Multi hi, it only makes sense to build them on the fly and in turns, if not played in single player. As far a I got it, you have to make one "creating" drive through the gates and make the corners you want to in between. Since the layout of that course will not fit any other surroundings but your apartment, sharing does not make sense. Cheers!
@Alucard83 i got the same problem with the stick. I bet, they put the option in. Or at least patch it in. I played it through back in the days but trying to replay it a few years ago, the camera really stopped me from doing so. I just couldn't enjoy it.
@Friendly hi, I would call it genre defining. Just played through it and loved it to bits. Will try to convince my wife trying it. She is not a gamer at all. I think, this game has the potential to show her at least what gaming is about in a short time.
For me, BOTW is a perfect LP, this is a perfect track. Since they only ask the price of a single, it's a perfect experience. I totally back this 10/10.
@Kalmaro it would just naturally be my first guess, since all the other lenses do. Like pSVR and the others are meant to be used with the curtains down. Just a wild guess here. But lenses in front of the eyes always mean that the outside light might be focused. So danger to the eye is always a big problem to companies and users.
Not a fan of the graphics. Something more natural would have been nice. I don't like this Shantea look. It looks somehow cheap to my eyes... Alex Kidd is great, though!
@fafonio thank you very much for the insight! Back then the far too small onscreen-text annoyed me so much that I rather played Donkey Kong. When I put in the disk a few days away, the text size still annoys... but maybe I should try to handle it. Didn't that annoy you at all? Cheers for the explanation and effort!! Couldn't find anything about the non-online issue on the net. Kudos for you!
Second thought: I didn't get the irony. But if, it's well hidden especially in these times of morons following Trump and Boris-he-is-our-now-johnson. Maybe you could explain?
@GoblinKing86 it's not about dying. It's about hospitals that don't have the capacities to treat people the way they deserve. We are talking about people (like your parents or a friend's parent) lying on their chests half-naked dying alone in the hallway with no chance to say good-bye to their beloved and no chance for the children to get in touch. THAT is the nightmare we are facing. Get it in perspective.
Edit: and we talk about the souls of the clinic personal getting scarves they will never truly recover from.

They should ask the real question: more BOTW or a more classic Zelda.

@Kalmaro it might hurt the eye used outside in bright daylight for example. I think he's got a point here.

Re: Wave of Closures And Possible Development Delays Follow CERO Shutdown In Japan
@GoblinKing86 it's not about dying. It's about hospitals that don't have the capacities to treat people the way they deserve. We are talking about people (like your parents or a friend's parent) lying on their chests half-naked dying alone in the hallway with no chance to say good-bye to their beloved and no chance for the children to get in touch. THAT is the nightmare we are facing. Get it in perspective.
