Disco Stu 15,495 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I've been playing Paper Mario: Color Splash on the Wii U for a few days. I like it a lot! It's definitely better than Sticker Star, the previous entry in the franchise. I mean, this isn't some amazing GOTY stuff, but it's drop dead gorgeous and very funny. Just a really relaxing game, perfect for playing like 45 minutes of every night to unwind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,375 Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 And its called the Nintendo Switch Did that video simultaneously confirm new Mario, Mario Kart, and Splatoon games? Controllers seem small, though larger versions will probably be sold Glad there's no VR crap EDIT: And Skyrim Remastered was in there too EDIT: Woah, lots of 3rd party support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 More hardware gimmickry from Nintendo which will fail, and will be two generations of failure on the run. I thought they'd have learned their lesson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 VR is a separate thing anyway. It's the future. Sitting in front of your TV screen with a controller is how gaming started, and where it basically still is today. Nintendo at least tried to do something a little different with Wii. But overall there havent been any huge changes since...the 80's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Sorry but I think it looks ugly and cheaply produced. Nothing tops the original PS4 design, though I am a fan of the sleek Xbox One S design. 1 minute ago, Stefancos said: It's the future.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I'm sure. But it's a form of gaming I have never really had much interest in. The possibilities of VR are very exiting though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,375 Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 I think this system theoretically could be backwards compatible with all of their prior systems. NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Gameboy, GBC, and GBA are easy and straightforward, of course. Wii is possible if they allowed WiiMotes to be paired to it. DS, 3DS, and Wii U depend on if that screen is a touchscreen or not. If it is, than those games can be played with the TV showing one screen and the tablet the other screen. Alternatively, if you could hold the tablet vertically, though could show both DS / 3DS screens at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 The aesthetic is definitely still pretty 3D World-ish, but yeah I can't wait to learn more about this game. I hope it's launch.

Jay 37,375 Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 It's gotta be a launch title along with Zelda 19, Skyrim, and the new Splatoon and Mario Kart games (and whatever that basketball game was) I hope since Dragon Quest 11 is coming to Switch, FF15 and the 7 Remake are too EDIT: And if this is legit, it can output 1080p at 60fps and 4K at 30fps http://pastebin.com/UD1Vx9rf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,631 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I dunno, it can't be as powerful as the Ps4 if it's a hand held but if there's a decent selection of RPG's I might consider it, i'd like to see at least Xenoblade Chronicles X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I've decided that Nintendo's new NES Classic box is overpriced for its value, which is not expandable or upgradeable yet. I'm going the Raspberry Pi and Retropie route for greater variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,375 Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 Yea it's a joke, they should have put in a WiFi card and the ability to buy more games for $1 each through the menu. Also the controller cords are way too short Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 It's like they expect you to use it at a small monitor screen at a desk, or close to the TV screen on the floor like some used to do as children. Not me, though. Our parents bought the satellite for use with the NES back in the day. We sat back on the couch, or at least the recommended five feet or so. That close to the screen, you're not wooing away the emulator fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,375 Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 Bad news: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild delayed until Summer 2017, according to rumor Good news: Super Mario Run launches for iPhone and iPad on Dec. 15 I will be buying this when it comes to Android.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I certainly wouldn't want the new Zelda to ship before it's ready. I'm hoping Super Mario Run won't have any performance issues on my 2012 iPad. The app store just says 'Require iOS 8.0 or later'. I switched from iPhone to Android this year so it's the only iOS device I still have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 It's not an endless runner at all. Nintendo is a company that puts a lot of care and finesse into designing their games, they wouldn't do something so lazy. I guess the term should be 'auto-runner'. The levels are intricately designed and have a flagpole at the end. 2 minutes ago, Jay said: Well, see for yourself: And see this new video put out today too.

Jay 37,375 Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 49 minutes ago, Disco Stu said: It literally, by definition, is not. Endless runners are high score attack games where the "levels" are procedurally generated and you run until you hit an obstacle at which the point the level is over and your score is recorded. Super Mario Run is about perfecting your run through a meticulously designed, finite level. When you hit an obstacle, your character is taken back to just before you "died." To deny that those are different kinds of games is just to be purposefully dismissive to show how little you care about the game, I guess. Which is fine, but they aren't the same thing. Correct!

BloodBoal 7,538 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Quote A tribute to the legendary game, this short showcases Skull Kid’s dark origin story. Our take on how the Zelda Universe could be realized in film. A labor of love for all those involved, this is a gift to the fans. This... is... awesome.

Jay 37,375 Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 So I've recently complete Link To The Past and Link's Awakening, and and towards the end of Link Between Worlds. I think my next console Link will be Wind Waker HD, but for my next handheld Link should I go for Oracle of Ages / Seasons, or Minish Cap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I definitely think you should play those Flagship Zelda games in order (meaning the Oracle games and then Minish Cap). My preference is for Ages being the better of the two, but both are great! Is this your first time playing through Link Between Worlds? It's got a great ending.

Turning flat to find secrets on walls looked crazy when I first saw it but in practice its freaking sweet! I hope they do a sequel for the Switch, maybe with Ocarina of Time / Majora aesthetics instead of LTTP again or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
